WNBA player Brittney Griner has now been moved to a Russian forced labor camp to complete her 9-1/2-year prison sentence after being convicted on drug charges in Moscow. Analysts say that the basketball player will face harsh conditions and her family in the U.S. may not even be allowed to know exactly where she is, according to the New York Post. Griner was convicted of importing illegal drugs into Russia in August several months after she was arrested in a Moscow airport for having cannabis oil in a vaping cartridge in her luggage. While vaping cartridges such as the ones in her luggage would be ignored by many western countries,

I wouldn't want to be in Griner's shoes. Assuming she/he/it survives the 9 and a half years, she/he/it will be no more than a human vegetable. However, I am sure once biden the cheater surrenders in Ukraine, Griner would be freed in a heartbeat.

So is she making Nike's against her will, building prefab houses for the commies, grinding rocks into gravel, digging holes to nowhere? Anybody know? Just curious what happens when you stupidly bring illegal drugs into a country that doesn't care whom you are and won't have a problem sending you up a creek without a paddle.

Griner "came out" at the GLAAD awards nine years ago, and displayed a deeper voice than many males, male android hips (not curved female hips), and in the picture under the title, and straight "male" arms instead of female arms angled slightly outward. Has he still got his junk? The whole three piece set? Has he ever done a DNA test? Is there anything at all female about him? Just wondering.

The late best-selling author Jason Matthews' (a personal friend) frightening prison scenes in "Red Sparrow" (20th Century Fox, 2018) were written based on his 32 years as an operative and later station chief in the CIA, including covert assignments behind the Iron Curtain in Hungary and Cuba. Matthews told me that Putin is a murderer and merciless sadist of the first order. In my opinion, Griner may live, but she better keep her mouth shut and please her captors. What a nightmare for her family.

Okay, not to rock the boat, I agree she had no business refusing to stand for the National Anthem. Or hide in the dressing room til it was over. She was arrogant and thought laws didn't pertain to her. But I do feel a twinge of sympathy. Nine years is a long time and it will be hard time for her, but seems to be a bit much for the crime.And no family contact, that would drive me nuts. But in the end, she is responsible for this, she just wasn't aware that Russia is serious as he ll about their prisons. I've seen stories on it. Terrible places.

Maybe she can bend some thick wire rod scraps into circles, attaching them to the sides of some old wooden crates and bolt them to the edge of her Gulag barracks roof. She can then abscond from the chow hall with the purloined bladder from a slaughtered mule deer to be crafted into a ball. She can then step forward to create the first Gulag Basketball League in Russia. I can sense a movie coming from this in the spirit of Sylvester Stallone's poorly received, "Escape to Victory".

SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt — A detailed inventory of the top known sources of greenhouse gas emitters launched by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore at the U.N. climate summit in Egypt on Wednesday found that the top 14 individual polluters are all gas and oil fields and their associated facilities, despite their emissions being “significantly underreported.” The inventory was compiled by Climate TRACE, a coalition of researchers, data analysts and non-governmental organizations who use multiple open sources including satellite coverage, remote sensing and artificial intelligence to track who exactly is polluting, and how much.

Democrat Senate candidate in Georgia Stacey Abrams lost again to Republican Brian Kemp on Tuesday, wasting over $100 million in campaign funds. Abrams’ campaign and leadership committee, One Georgia, brought in a combined $105.3 million for her campaign, according to GPB News. It is unclear exactly how much of the $105 million was spent on Abrams’ campaign, but her donors now know that Abrams is not a good investment in the state of Georgia. The Kemp campaign and his leadership PAC raised $81.5 million in their election cycle, according to GPB News. Abrams rode a dramatic wave of Democrat support

n yet another sign of the Big Tech industry’s woes, social media giant Meta Platforms, Inc., the parent company of Facebook, is planning on laying off thousands of employees as early as Wednesday, according to the Wall Street Journal. This follows news that Twitter boss Elon Musk ordered wide-scale layoffs at his company last week, cutting staff by 50 percent from about 7,500 to 3,750. (Weirdly, there are reports circulating Sunday that he’s already asking some of them to come back.) These will be the first large-scale terminations in the history of the 18-year-old company.

Donald Trump is continuing to treat Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis like a political enemy. On Wednesday, Trump pooh-poohed DeSantis’s huge and historic victory by insisting that his 2020 win in Florida was bigger. “Now that the Election in Florida is over, and everything went quite well, shouldn’t it be said that in 2020, I got 1.1 Million more votes in Florida than Ron D got this year, 5.7 Million to 4.6 Million? Just asking?” Trump won Florida in 2020 by 3.4-point margin, while DeSantis won reelection by a 19.45-point margin. Sorry, Trump, I think DeSantis’s victory is far more impressive. This ridiculous, ego-driven pettiness from Trump has got to stop.

First of all, it will make it a lot easier to take a lot of vehicles off the road, and we have more money in the pot now already out there that we voted for than the entire money that we spend on Amtrak, to begin with,” he said.

Raphael Warnock in his runoff race next month against Herschel Walker. The thinking is Mr. Walker’s close ties to Mr. Trump — who prodded him to move back home to Georgia from Texas for the Senate race — will weigh down his run while the Trump announcement also energizes Democratic voters and turns off some Republicans. “If he announces like they say, the second or third week of November, before the December [runoff] election, oh, my God …we’re praying that he does it,”

Democrats' strategy of spending millions to boost pro-Trump candidates in Republican primaries appeared to pay off Tuesday as the party ended the night with a clean sweep of the races in which it chose to meddle. All six of the Republican candidates who seemingly benefited from the meddling in their primary victories fell to their Democratic opponents. Those races include a number of key House and gubernatorial races, as well as the New Hampshire Senate race. Democrats spent more than $40 million boosting those six GOP candidates, all of whom expressed support for former President Donald Trump as a leader of the Republican Party or were backed by him.
The Case Against Mitch McConnell For Leader 19 replies

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is making a play for another term in leadership next week while control of the upper chamber remains in the balance after the Kentucky lawmaker’s chess game sabotaged chances for a GOP majority. In September, McConnell inaugurated the fall midterms by undermining Republicans in key races when the GOP Senate chief complained of “candidate quality.” “I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate,” McConnell said on Fox News just before Labor Day, the unofficial start of the fall campaign season. “Senate races are just different, they’re statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome.”
