People flocked from miles away to deeply breathe the smoke from the fire, I suspect.
That was why Mrs. Walz was out smelling MPLS burn..  She was looking for a secondary high.

This is great. I've had several sets of twins as friends, but they never were quite on this wavelength with one another.

An ex-sil had identical triplets. They would do that. Pretty freaky.

Powerball Winner Behind Bars For Battering Cop

The Smoking Gun
May 1, 2025



MAY 1--Days after claiming a $167.3 million Powerball jackpot, a Kentucky man is behind bars, charged with kicking a cop in the face during a melee at an oceanfront hotel in Florida, The Smoking Gun has learned.

According to court records, James Farthing, a 50-year-old ex-convict, was arrested Tuesday evening on felony and misdemeanor charges in connection with a fracas at the TradeWinds Resort in St. Pete Beach.

Farthing was at the resort with Jacqueline Fightmaster, his 42-year-old girlfriend. As seen in the above photo, Farthing and Fightmaster appeared Tuesday at a Kentucky Lottery press conference announcing the Powerball win (which Farthing is splitting with his 77-year-old mother).

Farthing, who won the April 26 Powerball drawing, purchased the winning ticket from Clark’s Pump-N-Shop in Georgetown, a city 15 miles north of Lexington.

On Tuesday evening--one day after posing with an oversized “Jackpot Winner” check--Farthing punched a male victim in the face during an argument at the TradeWinds, cops say. Subsequent to that alleged battery, a sheriff’s deputy sought to break up “an in progress fight between [Farthing] and another patron.”

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

True enough, but there is plenty of weapons-grade stupidity around.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
