In October of last year, an off-duty Florida state trooper was driving 96mph at 3:00AM when he struck and killed a 63 year old cyclist. An internal investigation recently concluded - the trooper was issued a traffic citation for ‘failure to use due care’. No other punishment.

Who wants to bet they didn't breathalyze him, driving 96 at three in the morning? Blue wall.

Because, you know, Blue lives matter.

Do you think it would have made any difference if they had?

Sure it would.

All the thin difference between none and absolutely fuck-all.

People don't like the Bible as much as they pretend to when justifying restrictions on people they don't like. The $60 million Bible museum is closing as it took in $54,000 in ticket sales each year against $11 million in operating expenses.

These people are clearly lacking in the business acumen department. At $10 per ticket, they would have needed about 3000 visitors a day just to break even. Small wonder they went belly up.

The ironic bit is the name: The Faith And Liberty Discovery Center. As if the Bible has anything to do with liberty.

Remember when Andrew Tate got arrested in the last days of 2022?

It happened again, and, remember how the rumour was that he accidentally doxxed himself with a pizza box (except that was actually a coincidence)? This time, Adin Ross, a friend and fellow live-streamer accidentally revealed Tate was going to pull a Polanski when he announced he planned to take advantage of this “now or never” moment.

Kyle Rittenhouse Flees Stage After Face-Off With Booing Protesters

Kyle Rittenhouse, who became a darling of the right after shooting three protesters in 2020, hightailed it off a stage at the University of Memphis on Wednesday night as a crowd of demonstrators booed him.

Video from the event showed several protesters in black T-shirts in attendance. One of them stood up and questioned Rittenhouse about Charlie Kirk, the far-right conservative activist whose youth organization, Turning Point U.S.A., sponsored Rittenhouse’s appearance.
When the protester alleged that Kirk has “said a lot of racist things,” Rittenhouse immediately grew defensive.

“Like what? What racist things has Charlie Kirk said?” he fired back from the podium. “We’re gonna have a bit of a dialogue of what racist things Charlie Kirk said.”

The protester was unfazed.

“He says that we shouldn't celebrate Juneteenth, we shouldn’t celebrate Martin Luther King Day—we should be working those days. He called Ketanji Brown Jackson an affirmative action hire, he said all this nonsense about George Floyd, and he said he’d be scared if a Black pilot was on a plane. Does that not seem racist?”

“I don’t know anything about that,” Rittenhouse said, prompting jeers from the room.

“After all the things I just told you, would you consider that hate speech?” the protester asked.

“I’m not gonna comment on that,” Rittenhouse answered, as the room once again erupted in boos. Rittenhouse waited on stage for a beat, but stormed off after he was approached by one of the event’s organizers. He did not look back or make any other comments as he left the stage.

The boos turned to cheers as he walked off.
