Flowers, 18, was arrested and charged with armed carjacking, carrying a pistol without a license, and possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.
18 is NOT a teenager, DM. Nice that he got shot in the mouf, too.

Ironic, yes, but Kentrell had no idea who he was carjacking. He was just an aspiring rapper turning his life around POS Thug who picked the wrong victim. F*ck him and his crew.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A mechanic has been sucked into a Boeing passenger jet's engine and killed at Chabahar Konarak airport in southern Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... after he went to retrieve a tool near the aircraft.
What’s the Farsi for inshallah?
Local mechanic Abolfazl Amiri was doing routine maintenance work on Iranian domestic airline Varesh Airline's Boeing 737-500 when he was sucked into the engine.
According to Bild, the engine on the right-hand side had been started for a test run with the cover flaps open. A safety area had been set up around the engine as is usually recquired.
But when Amiri realised he had forgotten a tool on the engine, he went back and was sucked in and killed before the engine caught fire.
Amiri's remains were recovered after the airport fire brigade arrived at the scene. "Try and hose all that into one puddle"
[FoxNews] Duke Medical School claims it is "White supremacy culture" to expect people of color to be on time in a strategic plan for creating an "Anti-Racist Workforce."
The medical school said its goal is to "catalyze anti-racist practice through education," in a 2021 plan titled "Dismantling Racism and Advancing Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the School of Medicine." The guide – praised by the school's dean – called out what it deemed "White supremacy culture," with its purported nitpicking of being on time, dress code, speech and work style. It also contains a series of negative terminology vis-à-vis White culture.
"White supremacy culture is the idea (ideology) that White people and the ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and actions of white people are superior to People of Color and their ideas, thoughts, beliefs and actions," the document stated.
The document stated that America is rigged for the interests of White people, who get privileges, i.e. the "unquestioned and unearned set of advantages, entitlements, benefits and choices bestowed on people solely because they are White."

When you can't meet the standards of excellence, change them, and pretend for a while that nothing changes the product. Brilliant, it just defines another trusted source, Duke Medical School graduates, that no longer are worthy of it.

Isn't this as much as saying.
Only People of Certain Colors can't arrive on time, and attend classes like anyone else?
Darn, that sure sounds like Racist thinking to me.
Anyone care to sum up all the normal things successful students and employees of ANY RACE do, to better themselves and achieve promotions, that are now called White Racism.

The corps’ initiatives included getting “rid of all its tanks, which would not be useful in a war with China,” and focusing on “long-range fires – such as artillery, loitering munitions and rocket-assisted projectiles – along with unmanned aerial systems like the MQ-9A Reaper.”
The old 'close with and destroy the enemy' is out it appears. NB - if you don't occupy it, you don't control it.
[Declassified with Judy Kelly] Remember when the media and class of "legal experts" swooned over Jack Smith?
Immediately after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith as special counsel to take over the Department of Justice’s existing investigations into Donald Trump, news outlets eagerly touted Smith’s credentials. "He’s a hardworking, smart person who knows how to move cases. That’s who he is: He comes in and gets things done," one former DOJ colleague told the New York Times in November 2022.
Another ex-colleague described Smith as "a brilliant independent thinker and a gutsy lawyer." A prosecutor on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team told CNN that Smith "understands the courtroom. He understands how to try a case. He knows how to prove a case."
Regime lapdog Andrew Weissmann, in response to Smith’s January 6-related indictment of Trump, said in August 2023 that the case indicated Smith "wants to get to trial quickly."
But Weissman’s doomsday predictions about the fate of Donald Trump once again didn’t materialize into reality. Nearly one year later, Smith’s two federal indictments against Trump—one for J6 and one for allegedly hoarding national defense files at Mar-a-Lago—are nowhere close to going to trial.
A series of legal stumbles, bad blood between Smith’s prosecutors and Judge Aileen Cannon in the documents case in Florida, and unfavorable Supreme Court decisions imperil not just Smith’s cases but his media-manufactured reputation as a prosecutorial ace. AND his constitutional appointment status - See Thomas's concurring opinion in the immunity case
It has cost Trump 10's of Millions defending himself so far.
Now, Imagine a common citizen or mom & pop store facing the Federal DOJ.
How can they expect to get a fair shake without going bankrupt?
When will we see the LAWFARE Abusers Indicted, put on trial, personally sued (their $$$, not taxpayers) and jailed ?
Because surely they must understand what goes around, comes around. Now the same process can be used and abused by others against LSD's and the DC Swampers also in the future?

Sad thing is Trump should be able to sue the Government for his legal expenses but then we all pay. Jack Smith and company are playing with our money on their little legal vengeance game and they should be the ones to pay, somehow.

If you must ask 'how many other' media loved govt employees and their homies are self promoted...look up and count the stars in the sky.
Those of you that can see the stars.

We are fast approaching a time when the citizen requires a mechanism to hold those who serve in public office personally accountable. That would put an end to most of the bad policy and extra-legal practices.
[Epoch Times] A federal jury has awarded $687,000 to a research scientist who was fired from BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee for refusing to comply with the company’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Tanja Benton, who had worked at the firm for 16 years when she was fired, was awarded $177,240 in back pay, $10,000 in compensation, and $500,000 in punitive damages, according to a document made public by the federal court in eastern Tennessee on June 30.
Company officials told Ms. Benton in August of 2021 that she would need to be "fully vaccinated" to keep her position, according to her lawsuit. Ms. Benton refused, saying aborted fetal cell lines were involved in the development of the COVID-19 vaccines and she couldn’t "in good conscience consume the vaccine, which would not only defile her body but also anger and dishonor God."
[BBC] When Luca was born in a Perth hospital two years ago, it flipped his parents’ world in ways they never expected.
With the joy came a shocking diagnosis: Luca had cystic fibrosis. Then Australia - Laura Currie and her husband Dante’s home for eight years - said they couldn't stay permanently. Luca, his parents were told, could be a financial burden on the country.
“I think I cried for like a week - I just feel really, really sorry for Luca,” Ms Currie says. “He's just a defenceless two-and-a-half-year-old and doesn't deserve to be discriminated against in that way.”
With a third of its population born abroad, Australia has long seen itself as a “migration nation” - a multicultural home for immigrants that promises them a fair go and a fresh start. The idea is baked into its identity. But the reality is often different, especially for those who have a disability or a serious medical condition.
It is one of few countries that routinely rejects immigrants’ visas on the basis of their medical needs - specifically if the cost of care exceeds A$86,000 ($57,000; £45,000) over a maximum of 10 years. New Zealand has a similar policy but Australia's is much stricter.
The government defends the law as necessary to curb government spending and protect citizens' access to healthcare. It says these visas aren’t technically rejected. But neither are they granted. Some can apply for a waiver, although not all visas allow it. They could also appeal the decision but the process is lengthy and expensive.
Campaigners see this as discriminatory and out of step with modern attitudes towards disability. And after years of fighting for it, they are hoping for change in the coming weeks, with an official review of the health requirements under way.
Laura Currie and Dante Vendittelli had moved from Scotland for jobs that Australia desperately needs. She is a nursery teacher and he is a painter-decorator.
How is it that those roles cannot be filled by native citizens?
They had started their application for permanent residency before Luca was born. But now they feel like the life they built here and the taxes they paid meant little.
“It's like, we're here for you [Australia] when you need us, but when the roles are reversed and we need you, it's like, nope, sorry, you cost too much money, you go back to your own country.”
[MAIL] France's radical left-wing coalition has vowed to bring in a 90 per cent tax rate on the rich following their shock election triumph on Sunday.
In a result that caught political commentators by surprise, the New Popular Front (NPF) emerged as the biggest party in the second round of the elections which ended in a deadlock, gaining 182 seats ahead of President Emmanuel Macron's centrist Ensemble party, on 168.
Marine Le Pen's populist right National Rally (RN), which won the first round of elections on June 30, performed poorly in the second round and only obtained 143 seats.

90 per cent tax rate...
They tried this before.
For utterly surprising reasons this didn't work.
Marine Le Pen must have secretly popped out the champagne.

RN did pretty well in the actual vote. They got 37% of the vote but only 20% of delegates because the center and left parties dropped out of districts where they were behind to let the other one win.

Trump Campaign Senior Advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said the platform showcases Trump’s MAGA agenda "in a way that is concise and digestible for every voter."
