Texas is still reeling from
the deadly shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets by 33 year old Mauricio Garcia
who was quickly killed by a police officer there on another matter who ran
toward the sound of the gunshots as it confronts another deadly tragedy in Brownsville,
Texas where a SUV ran into a crowd near a migrant shelter, killing 7 and
wounding 11 by a driver who was arrested and being examined for drugs and alcohol
consumption. In a move that would break the budget big time, the reparations
panel is recommending to the California Legislature reparations for “eligible
blacks” payments maxing out at $1.2 million which would total $800 billion. As
it appears more likely than not that Hunter Biden is going to be charged with
income tax evasion and making false statements to purchase a firearm, do not be
surprised to see his dad pardon him. We are not the only nation facing waves of
illegals as over 12,000 left in barely sea worthy vessels from Tunisia for Italy
last year while 800 bodies washed ashore back in Tunisia with 300 bodies so far
this year. Riley Gaines is voice of sanity and a breath of fresh as she campaigns
to bar transgender females who were born biological males from competing with
females and is now suggesting female athletes boycott and events in which transgender
females are competing. It looks like the royal rift continues as Prince Harry
who attended the coronation without his wife and as a nonworking royal dressed
as a civilian with his medals on his chest left the proceedings as soon as the
coronation was completed.

Winston Churchill on the effect of the sinking

spite of all its horror, we must regard the sinking of the Lusitania as an
event most important and favourable to the Allies. The poor babies who perished
in the ocean attack struck a blow at German power more deadly than could have
been achieved by the sacrifice of 100,000 men."
