Lies and harassment. This is no longer the America I grew up in.-----More police officers sue Trump over January 6 - CBS News
"...Both lawsuits were filed in D.C. federal court Tuesday, two days before the one-year anniversary of the Capitol assault.
"Trump's words and conduct leading up to and on January 6, 2021, and his ratification through silence when words and action were necessary, and his further ratification by direct praise of the rioters, as set forth herein, demonstrated a willful and wanton disregard for and a reckless indifference to Bobby Tabron and DeDivine K. Carter's safety and that of their fellow officers," reads the complaint from Metropolitan Police officers Bobby Tabron and DeDevine Carter.

Zuckerbucks Shouldn’t Pay for Elections --By The Editorial Board
- It fans mistrust to let private donors fund official voting duties.
Much is still unknown, but lawmakers already know enough to ban this practice.
A nonprofit called the Center for Technology and Civic Life, or CTCL, funded by Mark Zuckerberg, says it gave $350 million to nearly 2,500 election departments in the course of the 2020 campaign.

"...Arborcide, of course, has been in the news lately.
- On December 8, a man set fire to and destroyed the fifty-foot artificial tree outside News Corp headquarters in midtown Manhattan. Forty-nine-year old Craig Tamanaha was arrested on the spot and was naturally released without bail shortly afterwards. Tamamaha, who is homeless, has a long history of aberrant and criminal behavior. He admitted, “I have been thinking about lighting the tree on fire all day long,” but the denied he had done it. “The moms that want to rape their fucking daughters — they set it on fire.”
- Tamanaha, however, is not alone in his obsession. Someone also torched the Christmas tree in Washington Park on the South Side of Chicago. This came after four volunteers who were decorating tree were robbed.
- Yet another firebug set aflame a fifty-two-foot Christmas tree in Oakland, California’s Jack London Park, the week before Tamanaha found his matches.
Coast to coast it seems, this flamboyant form of misanthropy has found adherents.

After a record-setting 2021, 14 people have already been shot in Philadelphia in 2022 - TheBlaze:
Philadelphia had a bad year for homicides in 2021 — the worst in the city's history, in fact, by a pretty significant margin. Philadelphia residents endured 562 murders in 2021, shattering the previous record of 500, set in 1990. The escalation of the city's murder rate has been drastic in the last two years; in 2019, for example, there were only 356 murders recorded in Philadelphia, but that number shot up to 499 in 2020, and then went up again in 2021.

"Some people love to be scared. Mary Shelley knew that when she wrote Frankenstein, and genres of fiction and film exist mining that desire for innocent fun and profit. But when politics enters the fray and fears are stoked to scare people into accepting costly and harmful policies, it is important to push back.
Two articles from last week illustrate the panic-mongering and the responsible citation of fact.

A truly bad man!-----Moore: Harry Reid Was A Lying Liar Who Made Americans Much Poorer - Illinois Review
Moore: Harry Reid Was A Lying Liar Who Made Americans Much Poorer - Illinois Review By Stephen Moore
Yes, we know that the protocol is to talk about how wonderful our past political leaders are at the time of their death.
Yes, we know that the protocol is to talk about how wonderful our past political leaders are at the time of their death.
Such a great statesman. 
Put the country first. Blah, blah, blah.
But in the case of former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, we just can’t.
But in the case of former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, we just can’t.
We are so nauseated by the effusive praise of former Democratic Senate majority leader Harry Reid of Nevada, who died on Wed. (even Mitch McConnell said nice things about him), that we feel compelled to remind our readers of the truth.
Harry Reid was a first class scoundrel.
Harry Reid was a first class scoundrel.
- First, Reid claimed up until his last days that one of his “proudest accomplishments” was to block President George W. Bush’s attempt to create personal accounts for Social Security. “Accomplishment?” If we had privatized Social Security back in the early 1990s when even Bill Clinton endorsed this reform and the Dow Jones was at 8,000 (it is 36,000 today), tens of millions of Americans would be retiring with one million dollars or more in their private IRA accounts and would be receiving retirement income two to three TIMES more than Social Security will pay them. And younger Americans would have accounts overflowing with money. Great going Harry, you putz!
- Perhaps even worse, was Harry’s despicable and deliberate lie told during the 2012 presidential election. Reid claimed that he had seen Mitt Romney’s tax returns and that Romney “paid zero taxes for 10 years.” Even the Washington Post admitted it was all a bold-faced lie. What made the lie even more disgusting was that Reid NEVER apologized for his duplicity. Instead he BOASTED about it. When he was asked about it after the election, Reid replied, “ I don’t regret that at all. Romney didn’t win, did he?”

SICK: SCHOOL OFFICIALS STOLE 400K FROM THEIR OWN KIDS, WHAT THEY DID WITH IT IS DISGUSTING!"...The three former leaders were named as Former Executive Director Corey Johnson and former Finance Director Robert Williams who said to be charged with theft over $250,000 and Former Nutritional Services Director Michael Jones was charged with theft over $10,000...
- Johnson, the former executive director, allegedly stole a total of at least $338,000 from the school by using school debit cards, checks, wire transfers, and cash withdrawals, the state officials said. The money was used towards Las Vegas trips, NBA tickets, a hot tub for his home, and a variety of personal items and services.
- Jones, who served as the Nutritional Services Director allegedly stole at least $25,000 from the school. This included $21,000 for unauthorized food purchases for himself including shrimp, crab legs, ribeye steaks, salmon, catfish, and lobsters. He also used school funds to pay $3,500 for auto repairs on his and another school employee’s vehicles.
- Williams served as the finance director and received a little over $35,000 in duplicate salary payments and excessive stipends.
- In addition to the funds the group is accused of stealing, the comptroller’s office found Williams made more than $360,000 in “annual compensation, stipends, and performance bonus payments” without any records to justify the payments. Johnson also was found to have made $40,000 in payments from a school bank account to or on behalf of 100 Black Men, a civic organization in which Johnson is a member. There was no documentation to justify the payments.
