[NYPOST] A former Idaho gubernatorial candidate has been found guilty of killing a 12-year-old Colorado girl who vanished nearly four decades ago.
Steven Pankey, 71, will spend life behind bars after he was convicted of murder, second-degree kidnapping and false reporting Monday in the 1984 disappearance and death of his neighbor, Jonelle Matthews, the Weld County Prosecutor’s Office said.
It was the second trial for Pankey — who unsuccessfully ran for governor in 2014 and 2018
... Constitution Party the first time, as a Republican the second...
— after a jury last year was unable to reach a verdict on the kidnapping and murder charges.
After Pankey’s sentence was read, Jonelle’s family spoke to news hounds about the impact the loss had on their family for the past 38 years.
"I just want to cry," Jonelle’s mother, Gloria Matthews, said.
"God is the only one who can forgive evil, and I feel this is evil."

[AmericanThinker] This is what a man-made storm convergence looks like. As cargo piles up in ports, a rail strike is looming — because of government dereliction. We don't have the trucks to move the cargo — because of ill conceived emissions standards. If we did have the trucks, we couldn't fuel them — because our government has decided that it prefers batteries to the fossil fuels that charge the batteries.
It's a perfect storm of life-threatening crises — brought to us entirely by the Biden administration. So who in our government should be fixing this mess? That would be our intrepid secretary of transportation, Pete Buttegeig, who has never fixed anything in his life but checks all of the required intersectionality boxes.

I don't understand the diesel fuel shortage. Isn't diesel fuel made out of the same oil, just processed differently? If there is a shortage it means we aren't making diesel because we hope to reduce the price of gas but at the expense of everything?
#7
Diesel and oil are not refined one at the expense of the other. All of the petroleum products are in the same oil at various ratios depending on the type and quality of the crude. Lubricants like axel grease and motor oil are refined out at the lower end of the cracking column. Diesel is in the middle. The more volatile gasoline is higher still with propane at the top. Refineries aren’t making less diesel in order to make more gas. You get what you get out of the crude. I don’t know what the reason is for the shortage on diesel either.
Why is there a diesel shortage this year? There are four factors, but two of those factors are in play every year.
As mentioned above, distillate demand spikes at this time of year. But, it does that every year.
This is also the time of year that refineries are doing maintenance. They tend to do that in the spring and fall, which is when demand is lower and the weather is decent. So, refinery capacity drops at this time of year.
Third, U.S. refinery capacity has fallen in the past few years as several unprofitable refineries were closed. So, that’s a new factor that has appeared in the past couple of years.
But the primary reason is the cutoff of Russian imports. Prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. was importing nearly 700,000 barrels per day (BPD) of petroleum and petroleum products. Most of those imports were finished products and refinery inputs that boosted distillate supplies in the U.S.
#11
We don’t have enough refining capacity. That’s the biggest contributing factor, by far.
It’s possible, though I don’t know, that the demand side has been impacted as well. Perhaps folks in the northeast stocked up early, the way the Eurooeans did, well in advance of winter, with diesel as a substitute for heating oil.
#12
That’s correct. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils and animal fats. It can power Diesel engines but not gasoline engines. I’d recommend any prepped or off grid types to look up how to make biodiesel for trucks and tractors and such. It can be done at home. Refining diesel out of crude is not gonna happen in your back yard.
#14
My husband and I stock up on lubricants every month — go through em like shit through a goose, so to speak. It’s part of our Gay Pledge of Allegiance
#20
I was just on the west coast and noticed diesel is barely higher than gas there, while it is solidly 50% higher here in Texas (diesel roughly the same here as west coast.) I suspect a significant amount of our east/Gulf coast supply is being sold to Europe at a premium price to replace their losses from Russia.
A few decades ago when I looked into Biodiesel it seemed great, and then folks in Mexico started starving because food crops were being used for biodiesel sales and suddenly nobody talked about biodiesel much after that.
[Townhall] The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with an argument made by Republicans in their lawsuit seeking to prevent the counting of improperly completed ballots in next week's general election, throwing out a lower court's ruling that would have allowed PA election officials to count absentee and mail-in ballots that were not correctly dated and signed.
PA's Supreme Court justices vacated the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals' decision that would have allowed the counting of ballots that were not completed as the Keystone State election laws require, and ruled that the "Pennsylvania county boards of elections are hereby ordered to refrain from counting any absentee and mail-in ballots received for the November 8, 2022 general election that are contained in undated or incorrectly dated outer envelopes."
The PA Supreme Court also in its ruling directed "the Pennsylvania county boards of elections segregate and preserve any ballots contained in undated or incorrectly dated outer envelopes" and noted that the "Court is evenly divided on the issue of whether failing to count such ballots violates 52 U.S.C. §10101(a)(2)(B)."
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel celebrated the win in Pennsylvania as "massive" for "election integrity."

I suspect that this ruling will be ignored in several counties, this will go back to the SCOTUS which will affirm their previous ruling and the court wins will impact the vote in counties that weren’t cheating to begin with.

Anything involving voter fraud should carry the death penalty. Any official claiming they won't follow the rules or actively breaking them during an election should be summarily shot. Showing up after polls close with a 'box' of ballots 'found or forgotten' should result in the driver being shot and the car burned.
Voter fraud is TREASON and should be treated as such.

Silentbrick nails it. A functioning democracy cannot tolerate shenanigans because when cheaters get into elective office they are incompetent and destructive.

[NYPOST] The NYPD’s top cop bucked Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday by again calling for a rollback of bail reform — as Mayor Eric Adams refused to take on his fellow Democrat less than a week before her tight race against challenger Lee Zeldin comes to a head.
During a brief interview, The Post asked Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell whether Hochul needed to go further in allowing judges to lock up dangerous defendants.
"From the very beginning, we have asked for changes to the bail reform law," Sewell said following an unrelated news conference in Manhattan’s Central Park.
"We ask for judges to be able to consider whether the person is a public safety threat before deciding whether to remand, release or set bail."
Sewell added: "I think it’s important we make sure that we look at whether or not the [legal] discovery rules are really keeping the criminal justice system moving in the direction we need it to move in.
"We’ve made that point clear from the very beginning and we hope they’ll consider that in the very near future," she said.
[Gateway] Carlson - They’re vicious, they’re intolerant, and they are utterly corrupt. And above all they are incompetent. In less than two years it is not an overstatement to say they have run this country into the ground. Wrecking our economy, desecrating our military, and opening the borders of the United States to 5 million lawbreakers. The destruction they brought is so profound it’s hard to describe.
[IsraelTimes] United Democracy Project campaigns against Pittsburgh-area Democratic candidate Summer Lee, who has previously compared Israel to white people who shoot Blacks
A political action committee affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is spending upwards of $1 million in a second bid to oppose Summer Lee, a Pittsburgh-area progressive who once likened Israel to white people who shoot Blacks.
The move by United Democracy Project so close to the election next week drew fury from progressive Democrats, including Senator Bernie Sanders

[NYPost] The Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra) ...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation... was forced to delete a Twitter post taking credit for a boost in retirees’ Social Security checks Wednesday after social media users pointed out the increase was tied to decades-high inflation.
"Seniors are getting the biggest increase in their Social Security checks in 10 years through President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. The nincompoop who dumped Afghanistan. The copier doesdn't exist that could reelect him....... ’s leadership," read the tweet from the official White House account Tuesday afternoon.
Twitter, which was purchased last week by billionaire Elon Musk, appended a note to the claim that said: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know."
"Seniors will receive a large Social Security benefit increase due to the annual cost of living adjustment, which is based on the inflation rate," the note said, linking to the Social Security Administration’s website for an explanation on the Nixon-era legislation behind the increase — known as COLA.

They are so, so used to lying to our faces and censoring us when we point out their lies.

Well it wasn't entirely wrong. Social Security receipiants are getting the increase because of Joe Biden's policies which caused the increase in inflation. Let's go Biden!

[NYT] President Biden delivered remarks Wednesday on democracy, political violence and the midterm elections in a televised address from Washington’s Union Station. The following is a transcript of his remarks, as recorded by The New York Times.
Transcript follows:
Good evening, everyone.
Just a few days ago, a little before 2:30 a.m. in the morning, a man smashed the back windows and broke into the home of the speaker of the House of Representatives, the third-highest-ranking official in America. He carried in his backpack zip ties, duct tape, rope and a hammer.
As he told the police, he had come looking for Nancy Pelosi to take her hostage, to interrogate her, to threaten to break her kneecaps. But she wasn’t there. Her husband, my friend Paul Pelosi, was home alone. The assailant tried to take Paul hostage. He woke him up, and he wanted to tie him up. The assailant ended up using a hammer to smash Paul’s skull. Thankfully, by the grace of God, Paul survived.
All this happened after the assault, and it just — it’s hard to even say. It’s hard to even say. After the assailant entered the home asking: “Where’s Nancy? Where’s Nancy?” Those are the very same words used by the mob when they stormed the United States Capitol on January the 6th, when they broke windows, kicked in the doors, brutally attacked law enforcement, roamed the corridors hunting for officials and erected gallows to hang the former vice president, Mike Pence.

Tell me more about the guy who just the other week blew a 1.8, an 8 ball, and a stop sign at 2:30 am just happened to be awake at 2:30 am and didn't feel threatened enough to stay in the bathroom until after police arrived who, being VIP, was literally minutes - not 15 minutes or even hours.
I think we all understand why Pauly would want a *cough* "Sleep Mode" on video monitoring, but a glass break is a common feature on even basic security systems and should have woke the system. And don't tell me they don't have a panic room full of ice cream. Old 82 year old Pauly going to go investigate and take on an intruder with a hammer?
How'd dude get there? Didn't teleport. Probably didn't walk. Little late to take a city bus to an exclusive neighborhood.
They say he lives in a bus. Maybe it's a magic bus...I mean, with all the hallucinogens...

Now they are down to sneaking into busy places in hopes of trapping an unsuspecting audience so it doesn’t look like no one is interested. Probably a good way to entice a Let’s Go Brandon chant so it’s risky to do a live shot.

Nancy could go jogging braless and break her own kneecaps.

Seems like taxing energy will likely make things more expensive. I think Biden should run this idea past the oracle that is currently tending Fetterman’s hump. Maybe an inspection of some goat entrails will sort this mess into a coherent policy.

Reduce supply and/or raise prices on everything and make a majority of the voters dependent on you for their survival; then take the resources away from the minority to bribe the majority. It was always recognized as the ultimate risk of democracy.
