I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

A DHS statement claimed “an individual approached US Border Patrol officers” with “a handgun” in the Alex Pretti shooting incident. A Bellingcat analysis of the footage appears to show that a gun was taken away from where Pretti was situated by an agent just before the first shot was fired.

Today, January 6th, is the day on which James Joyce’s famous short story “The Dead” takes place! The story was adapted for film by John Huston, starring his daughter Angelica Huston, and was the final film of his career. A perfect watch or read as the weather continues to threaten snow! K.H
