Yesterday, I cut a little more hair. I’m getting closer. And also knit a little.

Press Run – Durham’s Corrupt ‘Spying’ Investigation — Ken Starr II
Quote – In the ABC News report, it wasn’t until the ninth paragraph that that network spelled out, “nowhere in Durham’s filing does he state that lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a tech company to “infiltrate” servers belonging to Trump Tower and later the White House.” That crucial debunking should have been found in the first paragraph, if not the headline.

Quote – The three men who chased, cornered, and gunned down Ahmaud Arbery were convicted of a federal hate crime today. Gregory McMichael, Travis McMichael, and William “Roddie” Bryan had already been convicted in Georgia on state-level charges of murder, but today’s decision establishes for the legal record that they killed Arbery because he was Black and ensures that the defendants would still have to serve significant amounts of prison time if their murder convictions were overturned on appeal.
