Buying on credit can only work if you can print your own money, like our governmnt does.  For the rest of us we will be living in a van down by the river. 

Why any rational person would think it is a good idea to put that bucket full of assholes, called the WHO, in charge is beyond me.

An officer with the Louisville Metro Police Department received "corrective action" after an internal investigation into the arrest of two-time major winner Scottie Scheffler revealed that the officer did not follow proper protocols by failing to turn on his body camera. 

Louisville Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel announced Thursday morning, in a joint press conference with Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg, that Detective ​​Bryan Gillis was counseled by his supervisor after an investigation found that he did not turn on his body-worn camera, as he was required to.

"Detective Gillis should have turned on his body-worn camera, but did not. His failure to do so is a violation of the LMPD policy on uniforms and equipment, subject category body worn camera," Gwinn-Villaroel said. 

"We understand the seriousness of the failure to capture this interaction, which is why our officer has received corrective action for this policy violation. This corrective action has been notated on a performance observation form, which is in line with our disciplinary protocol and practices. We respect the judicial process, and we will allow the course to proceed accordingly. We will not be able to make any further statements as relates to this matter."

Greenberg spoke about the importance of police body-worn cameras, adding that all parties involved, including Scheffler, "want to move forward."

Biden is desperate

President Joe Biden‘s reelection team is grasping at straws, and for good reason. The RealClearPolitics polling average has the incumbent down a point to former President Donald Trump nationally, and, more importantly, RCP has Trump slightly ahead in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, and North Carolina — also known as the states that pick the president.

The bellwethers of days gone by, Ohio and Florida, are almost certainly out of reach for the 46th president. If polls are to be believed, those contests will likely be double-digit victories for Trump.

Sixty-five percent of people say inflation has negatively affected their finances, with 19% saying inflation has made their personal finances “much worse.” One in six people are unable to pay their monthly bills.

Biden has managed to thread the needle in such a way that leftists, libertarians, and Muslim voters, as well as the vast majority of the electorate that supports Israel, all disapprove of the president’s handling of the Gaza war. North of 65% of voters believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. These are abysmal, some could argue insurmountable, numbers for an incumbent in his early 80s dealing with increasingly indefensible mental decline.

It probably wouldn’t use the term “Hail Mary,” considering the administration’s open hostility toward the Catholic Church and Christianity generally, but team Biden is certainly looking for ways to change the narrative. Last week, in a move that surprised even yours truly, Biden agreed to two debates with Trump, albeit with Biden-friendly stipulations that will make sure the senile president cannot be booed by an audience, be forced to stay up too late, or face questions from objective journalists.
