-Lurid Crime Tales-
Missouri woman WON'T be charged with killing fireman after grabbing gun from her felon boyfriend who was brawling with the emergency responder and shooting him: Prosecutors say she acted in self-defense
  • Anthony Santi, 41, was shot and killed on October 6 outside a gas station in Independence, Missouri

  • He was off duty at the time, but stepped in to assist the gas station cashier after Ja'Von L. Taylor, 23, became aggressive

  • Santi and Taylor began fighting, and the conflict continued outside, with the two men brawling and rolling around on the ground

  • Taylor handed his gun to his girlfriend: a convicted felon, charged with armed robbery in 2019, he should not have been in possession of a firearm

  • Taylor's girlfriend screamed at Santi to release him, and when Santi put Taylor in a headlock she yelled: 'You're killing him!'

  • She opened fire, and Santi died at the scene: on Tuesday prosecutors in Jackson County said she would not be charged

#7  Fireman jumps in to help cashier, succeeds in subduing the aggressor, and the aggressor felon hands girlfriend illegal gun, and she shoots the fireman in the back to free her felon boyfriend who started the assault. DA decides she acted in self defense. Curious set of outcomes until you add two factors, Missouri history of racial violence and the race of the victim and his murderer. Media never mentions the race angle because they don't want to state yet another example of the special rules for black on white violent crime.

Video: Biden Accidentally Reveal The 'Switcheroo Plan' Hatched By Fetterman And His Wife
[RedStateNation] During a speech in Pennsylvania regarding infrastructure programs, President Joe Biden toted Democrat Senate candidate John Fetterman and his wife.
The Fetterwoman revealed.
Lieutenant Governor," Biden said, "I was saying something nice about you ... that’s why I went out. And no — but I’m saying we’re going to try like the devil, I’m going to keep you from having to — not having to decide to leave, I wish you didn’t."

"John, thank you very much for running, I really do appreciate it. And Gisele, you’re going to be a great, great lady in the Senate," Biden told the Fettermans.

Following his strange comment, Biden paused as someone off-mic spoke to him.

Many believe that Biden was suggesting that Fetterman would resign from the Senate due to his declining health following the stroke he had earlier this year.
Assuming he actually knew what he was saying...

-Land of the Free
Konnech, Now Accused of Storing U.S. Poll Worker Data in China, Once Contracted with Pentagon to Help Soldiers Cast Ballots
[Breitbart] Konnech, the Michigan-based election software management company whose CEO was recently arrested for allegedly storing the personal data of poll workers on servers located in China, contracted with the Department of Defense to manage election logistics for service members Breitbart News has confirmed.

Eugene Yu was arrested by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office on October 4th in connection with the purported theft of personally identifiable information of county poll workers whose data was allegedly discovered on servers in the People’s Republic of China. Konnech’s software, the PollChief Election Worker Management System, was used by LA County and many other counties in the United States to manage, pay and communicate with election poll workers. LA County asserts Konnech “was supposed to securely maintain the data and that only United States citizens and permanent residents have access to it,” but said that information has been discovered on Chinese servers.

In response to a Breitbart News request, DoD provided documents revealing Konnech was contracted to provide online voting services for the states of Montana, New Jersey, and Nevada between July 8, 2010 and January 31, 2011. The now-defunct DoD Business Transformation Agency (BTA) awarded the contracts. Open source documents reveal the existence of a BTA email to Konnech on April 21, 2010 advising that “BTA would like to offer Konnech a [Blanket Purchase Agreement] for the FVAP Wizard Support Services Requirement.” The correspondence is titled “FVAP BTA Offer” and is further evidence of a relationship between Konnech and the Pentagon.

Old Facebook posts from an account appearing to belong to Konnech, Inc. also provide further corroboration:

Konnech concluded the 2010 General Election having assisted uniformed and overseas voters in three States to cast their ballots. The very first voter to use our system emailed ‘this is the first time I’ve been able to vote since being posted to Iraq.’ – November 3, 2010

The Federal Voter Assistance Program, an agency of the DoD, awarded (2) grants to the City of Detroit for systems to be developed by Konnech. The first is to establish an online system that will allow military and overseas voters to confirm their registration, apply for an absentee ballot, as well as receive and track their ballot. Detroit’s second grant is to test the security and usability of mobile applications. In a mock election environment, overseas testers will use the mobile applications to receive, vote, and cast their ballots. Analysis of risks associated with use of a mobile application for the electronic transmission of a voted ballot will be conducted during this mock election. – March 2012

The Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) that provides voting assistance to members of the military, their families, and citizens overseas. Service members receive guidance on how to vote absentee along with other information regarding frequently asked questions. The FVAP website advises interested individuals on how to become Voting Assistance Officers to ensure that military and overseas voters have the support necessary to cast their ballots. “The Director of FVAP administers the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) on behalf of the Secretary of Defense.”

According to a Felony Complaint issued by the LA County District Attorney’s Office on October 13th, Yu was charged with conspiracy to embezzle public funds and grand theft by embezzlement of public funds valued at $2.6M. The complaint notes that Konnech utilized 3rd party contractors in China to perform services under its agreement with LA County. In particular, a Konnech employee responsible for managing the LA County contract “confirmed via the messaging app DingTalk that any employee working for Chinese contractors on PollChief software had super administration privileges for all PollChief clients.” The employee described this as a “huge security issue.”

Konnech was founded approximately 20 years ago and is a Microsoft gold partner, which it proudly displays on its website. It also advertises that “election logistic software is all we do”, it has 32 clients in North America and that PollChief software is used by “thousands of elections offices”. It also advertises that “election logistic software is all we do,” that it has 32 clients in North America, and that PollChief software is used by “thousands of elections offices.” The accusation that Konnech stored personal data of LA county election workers on a server located in China has put Konnech and its embattled CEO Eugene Yu under increased scrutiny, especially given the Chinese Communist Party’s penchant for surreptitiously harvesting data.

BuzzFeed reported in July that the American user data of TikTok, whose parent company is Beijing backed ByteDance Ltd., is routinely accessed in China.

There is a history of illicit data harvesting by Beijing from the hack of the federal government’s Office of Personnel Management in 2014 to the unauthorized access of TikTok’s American user data given to Chinese employees as reported by BuzzFeed.

Breitbart News also reached out to Konnech for comment and with a list of questions, including whether it continues to serve as an FVAP vendor and stores data on servers located in China. Konnech has not responded.

I find it shocking that LA County DA George Gascon would do such a thing. I figured he'd try to keep a lid on this kind of information. Maybe one his uppity deputies did it.

Geriatric Socialist Plans Campaign Blitz in Effort To Save Democrats From Republican Wave
[Free Beacon] Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) is planning a blitz of campaign events to "rally young voters and progressives" to support Democrats before midterm elections, which are widely expected to be a Republican wave, the New York Times reported Wednesday.

Sanders, who is not a Democrat but has run twice for the party's presidential nomination, will begin the campaign blitz next week in Oregon, a traditionally deep-blue state that this year is leaning Republican. He will then attend events in multiple swing states, including Nevada, where Republican Senate candidate Adam Laxalt is leading Democratic incumbent Catherine Cortez Masto, and Pennsylvania, where the most recent poll has Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz tied in the Senate race.

Sanders, a self-described socialist, supports massive tax increases, universal health care, and the Green New Deal. Those far-left positions have some Democrats worrying that Sanders's "campaigning in swing states could backfire," the Times noted.

Wisconsin Senate candidate Mandela Barnes, who is trailing in the polls, is one Democrat who appears hesitant about Sanders's presence. While Sanders "allowed the Barnes campaign to use his name" in fundraising emails, Barnes has not said whether he will appear with Sanders at three events in Wisconsin. A Barnes spokeswoman declined the Times’s request for comment.

Long knives are out for Joe Biden post-midterms, but Biden says Jill and dead son Beau want him to run again
[American Thinker] If Joe Biden disgusts us with stubborn willingness to sacrifice the entire economy for the sake of his greenie, open-borders, big-spending, agenda, note that Democrats have it in for him, too.

For Democrats, their logic is that Joe has sacrificed their political power for the sake of his greenie, open-borders, big-spending agenda. They cite 'inflation,' forgetting that they were the ones who enacted the big spending that triggered the inflation and Joe embraced, and somehow, Joe hasn't magically stopped it. For them, this is simple: angry voters at midterms about to destroy their party's majority in the House and Senate, so Joe is going to pay for it.

Several news stories suggest that Biden is being set up to become the fall guy in the aftermath of the midterm wipeout that's coming for their party, he may well know it.

The main item was from The Hill:

#1  If you watched his one-on-one it's obvious he is demented. He said he is definately running again but then said he has plenty of time to decide. He called his wife Dr. Biden even though she isn't. Couldn't seem to remember her name. I think his handlers let him do this to show how incapable he is. They won't let him run again.

Scary. Joe Biden Completely Loses Train of Thought, Stops Talking During Interview – Jesse Watters Left Gobsmacked (VIDEO)
[Gateway] Joe Biden had a particularly difficult time in his latest MSNBC interview.

During the painful discussion, the MSNBC host asked Joe Biden if he is going to run again for president.

Joe Biden gave his standard glassy-eyed stare and mumbled something. It appears he lost his train of thought and sat their silent for a couple seconds.

This man is in very sad shape.

Americans brace for steep winter heating bills as energy costs soar
CBS MONEYWATCH

Across the U.S., families are looking to the winter with dread as energy costs soar and fuel supplies tighten.

The Department of Energy is projecting sharp price increases for home heating compared with last winter and some worry whether heating assistance programs will be able to make up the difference for struggling families. The situation is even bleaker in Europe, with Russia's continued curtailment of natural gas pushing prices upward and causing painful shortages.

In Maine, Aaron Raymo saw the writing on the wall and began stocking up on heating oil in 5-gallon increments over the summer as costs crept upward. He filled a container with heating oil as he could afford it, usually on paydays, and used a heating assistance program to top off his 275-gallon oil tank with the arrival of colder weather.

His family is trying to avoid being forced into a difficult decision — choosing between food or heating their home.

#10  Who gives a fuck about election results?

The European public does. Protests all over Europe now. The whores at the NY Times can’t suppress the truth any longer — a majority of the people are sick and tired of the elites’ pointless war for a shithole country. NYT:

“…many across Europe blame the war for the astronomical costs. [The Italian woman interviewed by NYT] was no fan of Russia, she said, but the time had long passed for an end to military support for Ukraine and a shift to diplomatic negotiations for peace. She said more and more people she knew, in need of economic relief, were losing their patience, too.

All they want is arms, arms, arms,” she said of Ukraine. “I’m sick and tired of them.”

It is a sentiment — impatience, even inchoate anger, at the inflation fueled by the war — that transcends the shoppers in Rome’s piazzas and can be found among the weekly protests in Germany or in the swelling ranks of French strikers. And it has leaders nervous.

#12  The bill at Costco yesterday was about $200 more than usual but we didn't buy anything unusual. Ouch, dammit!

OK, if Biden got to the White House on his own steam and he is actually the guy who is calling the shots, that's pretty damn scary.

But if he's a puppet that's scary too because the person or committee pulling his strings is dishonest by the mere fact that they won't show themselves. That's scary too. If they are that dishonest we must wonder what else they aren't telling us or what outright lies they are relaying to us via the mainstream media. Scary as hell.
