Can't help but wonder how many Londoners failed to partake because the candidate chosen to oppose Khan wasn't sufficiently "Conservative" in their eyes.

:bolt:

I don't know about the "Conservative" angle, but voter turnout was 40.5%.

Don't you find it interesting how Biden is able to divert DoD money to support DEI and other LBGTQ+WXYZ bull crap, but Trump wasn't able to do so with a real life protect-America project of building a wall?  The part about not being given the money is no excuse.  Trump was able to spend $8 trillion that we didn't have during his term.  He could have found a hundred different ways to fund that wall.  He just simply didn't do it.  Because maybe that might have upset Democrats.

Well, he kinda/sorta did.  Remember the "emergency" DoD funding he used to build the parts of the Wall that did get built?  He just waited too long to get started because of that stupid "Mexico will pay for it" pledge.

Thanks @Elderberry . The article offers some clarification.

It's not the use of the device but the sale of service using the device. The article does state that it is legal for a rancher to use a sonogram on owned livestock or by a paid employee . So I think it's a pretty fine line between paid employee and hiring a company. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

FWIW...I still think these guys stepped on somebody's toes. The lack of bail is worrisome.


There was no sentencing hearing and no option for bail.

“The state of Pennsylvania had a judge sign an order of imprisonment for two people without ever naming them as parties to a case, without them being charged with any crime, without any hearing before an order of imprisonment was issued, all of which is completely illegal under Pennsylvania law and the United States Constitution.

How so?

Probably the thinking is the Air Force base is military...military break things and kill people when they deem necessary, so interfering with their operations is a danger to everyday American citizens.    :shrug:

I have no problem with her putting the dog down but writing about it in her book was just plain stupid.

Exactly right.

Not only has London fallen, But there’s going to be a lot more conflict in the city itself

It’s sad. But when a country brings in people en masse from the third world, that country takes on characteristics of the third world

I'm waiting till after the DEM convention.  If Joe is still standing, then I'll start paying attention to predictions, polls and stats.  I'm just still not convinced the DEMS are going to run him.

I posted Biden would step down at the DNC convention to be replaced with a moderate Bill Clinton 2 0 string on crime and illegal immigration and was attacked as a troll

Biden is getting exponentially worse each month. Guy can barely walk 10 steps

The person who replaced him will be out of the blue.  If Trump is still in he will not know what hit him
 Maybe moderate dem gov  Laura Kelly from Kansas
75% of Dems do not want biden

Good point.  Bottom line is he FAILED. I have no reason to believe that the outcome will be any different his second go around, I see things as being even worse.

I don't even fault him for failing here considering his Democrat tendencies.  Heck, in 2015 he campaigned in support of amnesty, allowing those already here illegally to jump to the front of the line.  Trump was never going to deport anyone, and certainly wasn't going to build a wall across our Southern border.  No, my anger is directed at his sycophants who continue to push the same bullshit again and again.  The ones who continue to shout "Drain the Swamp" even though Trump is the best friend the Swamp ever had.  He gave them everything.  Every single thing they wanted.  But we knew this about Trump early on.  Many like myself even got zotted from TOS for pointing this out.  Yet here we are over eight years later, and Trump sycophants are still pushing the exact same bullshit while blaming everyone else under the sun for Trump's failures.

Bottom line, Trump didn't get it done.  And it isn't the Democrats' fault.  Trump is the one in charge.  Trump controls the money given to him.  The buck stops with Trump.

that's probably  a good idea, it's too far out to call but what else did you expect Fetterman to say?  He is out of favor in his party with his support of Israel. I actually think Biden is more likely to win Wisconsin than there, if there's not 100% memory care patient turnout again.

Chicago teachers' $50B demands include pay hikes, abortions, migrant accommodation
The demands include members getting 9% annual wage increases through fiscal year 2028
By Michael Dorgan Fox News

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is negotiating a new contract with the public schools system and is understood to be calling for an extra $50 billion to pay for wage hikes as well as other demands such as fully paid abortions for its members, new migrant services and facilities and a host of LGBT-related requirements and training in schools.

To put the figure into context, the total base tax receipts for the state of Illinois last year were $50.7 billion.

The incredible demands are being made despite its members delivering underwhelming results for its students, with only 21 percent of the city’s eighth graders being proficient readers, according to the last Nation’s Report Card, which provides national results about students' performance.

The union’s demands have not been made public but a leaked document sheds light on the eye-popping demands.

Union President Stacy Davis Gates’ audacious plan calls for members to bank at least 9% wage increases each year through fiscal year 2028.

The average salary of a teacher in Chicago Public Schools is $93,182, according to research by the Illinois Policy Institute, a conservative nonprofit think tank. Therefore, the average teacher’s pay will increase by half to $144,620 in the 2027-2028 school year, it says.

That figure would equate to more than double the median household income in Chicago, according to Census Bureau statistics.

The Chicago Tribune reports that the CPS budget will exceed $9 billion this year, up nearly 30% from $7.4 billion just five years ago. Much of that increase is reflected in teacher salaries, which are among the highest of any big-city teachers in the country, the

Last school year, the district spent more than $21,000 per student, far above the national average of $14,347, according to census data.
