Couldn't help myself. Thanks to @mista_pepper on X Two US Senators -accused Jack Smith of perjury when he didn't admit to attending a sports game. Wrong game, wrong team, etc. Thought they had a gottcha moment. Too stupid to double check. Sen. Kennedy and Sen. Schmitt - two R's (repugnants)

A former Wagner fighter, now in Ukrainian captivity, said Russian mercenaries in Mali used captured Africans as live subjects for brutal "tactical medicine training." In 2023-2024, Russian instructors deliberately maimed African prisoners, after which the mercenaries practiced stopping bleeding.

Karen Bass’s LAPD is openly defying a judge’s order to hand over moonlighting records, and it's obvious why. They are desperately hiding a shadow workforce where cops moonlight for ICE contractors, creating blatant conflicts of interest. It's time to enforce the subpoena and demand accountability.
