At Least 102 Kids Were Working In U.S. Meatpacking Plants, Labor Investigation Finds The Labor Department says Packers Sanitation had children cleaning "back saws, brisket saws and head splitters." The Labor Department said Friday that investigators found Packers Sanitation Services Inc. had employed more than 100 minors at meat processing facilities where they were cleaning dangerous industrial equipment using hazardous chemicals. The investigation revealed that minors had worked at 13 facilities across eight states. Officials said they found at least three children had been injured while working for the company. The equipment they were cleaning included “back saws, brisket saws and head splitters,” according to the Labor Department. Packers Sanitation Services agreed to pay $1.5 million in civil penalties as a result of the investigation, the agency said. Well, it ought to be entertaining.

Shock and Awe.

If Fox loses the case, the potential award to Dominion could be 1.4 billion dollars. That ought to smart.

Dominion Completely Destroys The Fox ‘News’ Façade In a 192-page legal filing, Dominion Voter Systems shattered any journalistic claims that Fox News had with messages revealing that Fox News is a political organization. In a November 16 email, Rupert Murdoch told Scott to read a Wall Street Journal piece about Newsmax, telling her: "These people should be watched, if skeptically. Trump will concede eventually, and we should concentrate on Georgia, helping in any way we can. We don’t want to antagonize Trump further, but Giuliani is taken with a large grain of salt. Everything at stake here.” Everything at stake here. Journalists and news organizations that are legitimate don’t work in service of an outcome regarding who wins and loses elections. The job of a journalist is to gather and report information, and journalism does not help “in any way” it can. Fox News has been caught admitting its motivation internally that it isn’t in the journalism business. Fox News is a political organization pretending to be a news organization to help Republicans win elections. The main goal of Fox News is to help Republicans win.

Top Russian Military Official Dead After Fall From 16th Floor A Russian military official in charge of financial provisions for the military district blamed for the Kremlin’s worst losses in Ukraine has been found dead after a nasty fall from a St. Petersburg high-rise. Marina Yankina, head of the department of financial provisions for the Western Military District, was found dead on a sidewalk on Wednesday morning, according to multiple local reports. She is just the latest in a growing list of Russian military officials, defense industry figures, war critics, and gas and oil execs to die suddenly and mysteriously since the start of the full-scale invasion last year.

Stella Stevens, a prominent leading lady in 1960s and 70s comedies perhaps best known for playing the object of Jerry Lewis’s affection in “The Nutty Professor,” has died. She was 84. Stevens’ estate said she died Friday in Los Angeles after a long illness.

The GOP and Faux have repeatedly proven themselves blissfully unaware of their own embarrassing actions and utterances.

Compliments to Brandon Fraser for assuming a role that went completely against his former public image and a non-flattering role as well. A Canadian (still) about whom nothing bad has ever been said except for his one choice of spouse,

And their useful and vital money.

Everything costs something and the more you want, the more you have to give.

Sadly, Trump sure as spit looks to be a pathological liar and a stupid one at that. Post-scriptum: Trump has publicly said that he loves uneducated people.

That would definetley provide more ammunition for squabbles.

Trump’s Literacy In Question After He Thinks Georgia Special Grand Jury Report Clears Him Donald Trump thanked the Georgia special grand jury for exonerating him over a report that appears to be bad news for the former president and his associates. Trump wrote on Truth Social: Thank you to the Special Grand Jury in the Great State of Georgia for your Patriotism & Courage. Total exoneration. The USA is very proud of you!!! The long-awaited important sections of the Georgia report, which do not even mention President Trump’s name, have nothing to do with the President because President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. The President participated in two perfect phone calls regarding election integrity in Georgia, which he is entitled to do – in fact, as President, it was President Trump’s Constitutional duty to ensure election safety, security, and integrity…. ….Between the two calls, there were many officials and attorneys on the line, including the Secretary of State of Georgia, and no one objected, even slightly protested, or hung up. President Trump will always keep fighting for true and honest elections in America! Back on Planet Earth, the four pages of the 9-page special grand jury report revealed that several of the witnesses are suspected of committing perjury and that the grand jury recommended criminal charges. The special grand jury also found that there was zero evidence of widespread election fraud in Georgia as Trump has been claiming for more than two years. The report was not good news for Trump. It was very bad, because it pointed directly toward indictments coming from the Fulton County DA for crimes related to Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election.

Bruce Willis Diagnosed With Frontotemporal Dementia, Family Says Actor Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, his family said in a statement Thursday. The 67-year-old “Die Hard” star was diagnosed with the disease, also known as FTD, after his prior diagnosis of aphasia progressed, his family said. “Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis,” read the statement shared by his ex-wife, Demi Moore, and posted on a website for The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration. The statement was attributed to Willis’ wife, Emma Heming Willis; Moore; and Willis’ daughters Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel and Evelyn

That would probably be as good as McPizza of yore.

That might work.

When I die, I want someone to dress me up in a Superman (TM) suit and throw me out of a plane over Winnipeg.

Exume was a good special teams guy and hit a ton. I thought he might be a good safety backup but obviously I was in the minority.
