https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/202...vacuation/ That cover on National Geo is fantastic.
I read that they'd found her a few years ago. Also read that they're were not sure the woman they found was she. Be interested to know what forensic methods were used.
Not that it matters. Her life may well have been saved by getting her out of there.

I'm not completely convinced either but will congratulate any that get out so long as they do not have certain ulterior motives.

James Beeks, the actor fired last week from his gig as Judas in a touring production of Jesus Christ Superstar following his arrest for participation in the January 6 Capitol siege, will remain free on pretrial release despite angering a U.S. District Court judge by claiming “divine” authority.....Today, Beeks told [judge] Howell that he did not recognize the government’s jurisdiction over him, insisting at one point, “I am an American standing under public law and I am here by special divine appearance,” an argument associated with the “Sovereign Citizen” movement. Beeks dismissed the label, though, noting, “I’m not a sovereign citizen. There’s no such thing. That’s an oxymoron and it’s even an insult.”

Donald Trump flew on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet, pilot testifies at Ghislaine Maxwell trial
"I certainly remember President Trump, but not many people associated with him," Visoski said.
Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker were also named by the pilot.
Epstein's jet was informally known as the "Lolita Express" because it was also allegedly used to transport underage girls.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Just one death away from it being a proper mass murder worthy of a shot in America: The Drinking Game. But at least 11 people have been shot, so at least this applies:

https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-je...655889830/ I learned long ago that, somehow, as far as sex abuse cases go, the Epstein case has turned out to be a nothingburger. Hundreds of celebrities are apparently complicit, but shockingly few are given any real Epstein-related accusations. Even people with other rape accusations like Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey somehow don't get any additional accusations related to everything they did with Epstein.
Hell, Visoski also testified "I didn’t notice anybody of a younger nature without an adult or parent. I didn’t know anybody’s exact age at all.”
That said, Trump is one of the few celebrities who actually has faced a concrete accusation related to Jeffrey Epstein:

Listening to the SCOTUS Abortion case right now. It really fucking pisses me off that men comment on female bodies they don't own and act like they have PHD medical degrees. This shit was settled law 50 years ago. America's right wing minority is dragging us back in time.
The core of the right's argument are two pronged. 1. There is no language in the original Constitution that talks about abortion. 2. The old states rights argument. Both are horrible arguments. There also was no right for a long time for women to vote. There was no right for interracial marriage. There was no right for same sex marriage. None of those are written into the Constitution either. But times change and society changes. The majority of Americans want to keep abortion legal.
Abortion IS a Constitutional right. If the SCOTUS sides with the right, it will simply drive females into unsafe conditions when desperate. Wealthy females will still get abortions if they want. They can simply out of the country and get one where it is legal. This is nothing more than class and religious and race warfare.
I cant begin to tell you over the decades, where I'd hear some right wing religious person, or right wing politician, scream abortion is murder, only to find out that man had an affair and paid for an abortion.

Re SCOUTS abortion argument, the MS guy keeps arguing 'let the people decide'. From what I can tell it's the let the elected reps decide (politics) and not the 'people', those with money and voting influence. That discriminates against any minority.
Yea pro discrimination!
