Jimmie Gardner, the brother-in-law of failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, has been arrested. The charges include engaging in sexual acts with a minor and physical assault, which authorities allege are related to human trafficking.
Gardner, a 57-year-old youth motivational speaker

i'm NOT Sure, that youths need THAT SORT of motivation.
If you're wondering.. Gardner is married to Federal Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, Stacey Abrams’ sister, in 2018.

That's RIGHT.. A Federal Judge's HUSBAND (who is the brother inlaw of the lady that STILL contests the Georgia Election), is a CHILD RAPIST; and trafficker

YouTube: I'm having a hard time discerning anti-semetism in this 1/2-hour convo

It looks like I can't reliably rely on the people I rely on to tell me who's reliable.

I had never watched Candice O until this interview with Tucker.

I figure Tucker is reliable, and so I watched Candace O talk at some length (unedited) for the first time.

She doesn't sound like the crazy person like some people make her out to be. That fact that I hadn't listened to her before, tells me something I need to think about.

Is X Twittear : “A trans person gets mad because their date dipped after finding out she was a biological he.”

Right click over the word “dipped” and searched meaning:

US slang : to leave especially suddenly or prematurely
I didn't know anyone at the party so I dipped.
—often used with out
On Saturday night, as I'm dipping out early on the decidedly tame afterparty …, I pass one of the models hired by E11even, the Miami nightclub.

They say Jesus was Jewish:

24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

I looked up this verse in the context of Candace O saying she puts her country America first, over every other country.

Upon further review and examination 🧐 it appears that’s what got her labeled as antisemitic.

The road to Viviers, France from the river Rhone is an avenue lined with ancient sycamores, whose boughs join over the road. Their leaves look a lot like maple leaves, which must be part of the Almighty's plan to confound the Canadians.

Jimmy Carter's Grandson Gives Health Update: He's "Coming to the End"

Terser version of Starship development.

1. They designed the test flight arc (launch to splash landing) knowing that there were 1000s of things that had to go right for that test to be completed. They also knew that they didn't know what most of those things were.

2. They built a prototype, which was their best guess as to how to do the first few steps of the test flight: launch, stage separation. If they had taken the time to perfect the 1000s of things before testing, it would take forever, and most of what they built would be based on bad guesswork, because they wouldn't have practical data to base it on.

3. They exposed their prototype to hard reality, knowing that it would fail, but they didn't know exactly HOW it would fail.

4. They used data from the first test failures to build the second prototype. All the failures were highly instructive: the pad had been destroyed, the raptor engines didn't all light, and stage separation failed.

5. With this second test they hoped that they had fixed the problems from test 1, so that the rocket would proceed farther into the test arc.

6. It turns out that the second prototype did get past all the problems in test 1: the launch pad was fine, all the raptor engines were lit, and that hot staging freaking worked!

7. The third prototype will go even farther into the test arc than the second, and it also will fail, and they'll use the learnings from the failure to iterate further until the prototype has enough bugs worked out that it will complete the test arc.

_This is exceptionally good engineering practice._ It mystifies me that people don't get what he's doing, because it's so obvious to me, but then I work with software developers, and they do rapid prototyping and testing during development all the time.

"It looks like I can't reliably rely on the people I rely on to tell me who's reliable."

That's a Bingo.

"I had never watched Candice O until this interview with Tucker."

It's a good one.

"She doesn't sound like the crazy person like some people make her out to be."

She's softened with motherhood. Her stand against genocide is exemplary.

"That fact that I hadn't listened to her before, tells me something I need to think about."

There's a lot of people thinking that right now, so don't feel alone.

Is Meade 9' tall now? Heh.

Knit gloves, ear protection, and a quilted jacket. Isn't it wonderful to sense the temperature based on the clothing choices? In real autumn-and-snow country people have so many different layers. Here in the desert we have two choices: shorts and sweatshirts.

I typically watch Fox News at 6AM through through the week, but have been switching lately to Fox Business with Marie Bartiromo instead. Better news, better guests, plus the business perspective. The weekend edition beginning at 6 in the morning is the best however, as they play the national anthem with patriotic photos the Americana. Awesome pics!

As an aside, I occasionally switch to MSNBC (Morning Joe) to see what the enemy is thinking. It has deteriorated badly. Not sure what happened to Joe. Maybe too much Mika.

gadfly asserted with certainty: "How soon gilbar forgets that Donald John Trump was found by a jury to have raped E. Jean Carroll!"

Funny I don't recall seeing the conviction for this felony in the news, nor the prison sentence. Was this one of those New York City jury thingies to punish Trump financially? Asking for a friend.

"Knit gloves, ear protection, and a quilted jacket."

It's a remarkably un-warm jacket. I think it's meant to be worn as an extra layer under something else, but I find it comfortable when it's around 50°, which is about what it was that day (a few days ago).

I think it's this Patagonia jacket.

That's a maple leaf. I think a Norway maple.

Jimmy Carter came to office as a hardbitten segregationist. He continued his political career as your garden variety democrat party racist, contemptuous of blacks while buying their votes with fake religious fervor. What a fraud.

Better than Illinois Nazis. I hate those guys.

when was this jury? what did they find? how did i miss it?
or, are you talking about the civil jury that DIDN'T find that ? is THAT what you mean?

They fall of their own accord this time of year. No need to climb.

@dicentra63: SpaceX has about 13,000 employees, including some of the finest engineers the US can produce currently working on this project. Their primary goal with a launch like this is to gather data. The result is a resounding success. There are many problems with Elon Musk. Not instantly succeeding in launching a new type of rocket is not one of those.

Drago said...

LOL

Its clear the dems/left/LLR-left are deeply, deeply concerned over the irrefutable proof they are now fully aligned (and becoming moreso) with the anti-Jewish islamic-supremacist 7th century death cult and are desperately attempting to deflect that reality onto Musk.

A mission that has already failed.

However, expect the attacks to continue as our New Soviet Democraticals have no other arrows in their quivers and no other plays in their 1 page "playbook".

Drago said...

And I must say, reading LLR-democratical Rich/C****'s "deep" Just-Read-A-Wikipedia-Article-Level-of-Quality "engineering" "insights" are always amusing.
