re Maxwell.

now let's see us attorney office charge some of the people who had sex with minors that maxwell procured.

 

this result is just more proof that the system is corrupt, and, many people are above the law. 

 

"It has already been revealed that Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were frequent fliers on Epstein’s jet, dubbed the Lolita Express. Flight logs introduced during Maxwell’s trial show Donald Trump flew on the jet between Palm Beach and New York City airports six times, sometimes accompanied by his then-wife, Marla Maples, and infant daughter, Tiffany.

Bill Clinton was a passenger at least 26 times. Fox News obtained records showing Clinton flew without his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights and that trips between 2001 and 2003 “included extended junkets around the world with Epstein and fellow passengers identified on manifests by their initials or first names, including ‘Tatiana.’ The tricked-out jet earned its Nabokov-inspired nickname because it was reportedly outfitted with a bed where passengers had group sex with young girls.” (Neither Trump nor Clinton has been accused of anything illegal or inappropriate.)"

 

 

They nailed their scapegoat, we can all rest in peace knowing justice has been served once again.

Lowe's Companies, Inc. is selling its Canadian retail business to New York-based private equity firm Sycamore Partners for US$400 million plus a performance-based deferred consideration.

Now, I need to look up how much they paid for Rona. 

Lowe’s bought RONA Inc. in 2016 in a deal valued at $3.2 billion Canadian, or about US$2.4 billion, that at the time it said was a key step in accelerating its growth strategy.

Is Elon running Lowes? 🤣

KFC Apologizes For Using Kristallnacht To Promote Cheesy Chicken In Germany


The KFC fast food chain in Germany issued an apology on Wednesday after it sent an app alert suggesting customers commemorate the anniversary of Nazi-led attacks on Jews by eating cheesy chicken.

The chain’s German division sent a message to followers on its app that read: “It’s memorial day for Kristallnacht! Treat yourself with more tender cheese on your crispy chicken. Now at KFCheese!” the BBC reported.

Not surprisingly, many people found KFC’s promotion to be tasteless. Kristallnacht, or “Night of Broken Glass,” is considered the start of the Holocaust. The two-night rampage on Nov. 9-10, 1938, led to the destruction of 267 synagogues and thousands of other Jewish-owned businesses in Nazi Germany, as well as the deaths of 90 Jewish people and the arrest of thousands more.

Germany takes the Kristallnacht anniversary seriously, according to the BBC, with numerous memorial events reflecting the Nazis’ murder of more than 6 million Jewish people.

About an hour after the alert, KFC issued a follow-up on the app that blamed the tasteless promotion on “an error in our system,” and added: “We are very sorry, we will check our internal processes immediately so that this does not happen again. Please excuse this error,” according to The Guardian.

Hundreds Of Workers Seem To Leave Twitter As Elon Musk's 'Hardcore' Deadline Passes

Hundreds of Twitter employees appeared to flee on Thursday after Elon Musk demanded that only “extremely hardcore” staffers remain as he seeks to transform the social media giant to fit his own vision.

Musk sent a memo to staffers Wednesday morning saying Twitter would only have room for those prepared to work “long hours at high intensity,” echoing expectations at his other companies, Tesla and SpaceX.
“Going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasingly competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore,” he wrote. “Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade.”

The email asked staffers to click on a link if they were prepared to meet those expectations. Anyone who declined would be offered three months’ severance, it said.

The New York Times reported that Musk and his team met with some Twitter workers who had not signed on to the new expectations just hours before the 5 p.m. deadline on Thursday, trying to stop some employees deemed “critical” to the business from leaving.

He also appeared to scale back his demand that all employees return to the office for at least 40 hours a week.

The Canadian Canada Border Services Agency has confirmed a CBSA employee had "involvement" in a murder-suicide at a downtown Prince Rupert, B.C., office mall on Monday morning.

"We extend our deepest sympathies to the victim's family during this difficult time," said Rebecca Purdy, a senior spokesperson with the Canada Border Services Agency, in a written statement to CBC News. 

A 44-year-old man entered Ocean Centre Mall and shot a woman before "turning the gun on himself" at around 8:30 a.m. PT Monday morning, said Prince Rupert RCMP spokesperson Const. Brody Hemrich. 

The 52-year-old victim died before she could be taken to hospital. 

RCMP say the shooter knew the woman who was killed. He was taken to hospital in critical condition but was dead by Monday evening.

Just horrible.
