[NYPOST] A Florida couple had sex in plain sight of passing motorists along a Florida road — landing them behind bars for public display of penetration, according to The Smoking Gun. "Don't look, Ethel!"
"Many drivers" observed Amber Gormley, 39, and Shawn McClelland, 30, as they got it on Saturday in Largo, a city in the Tampa Bay area, the outlet reported, citing a police report. "Getcher hands out from in front of my eyes, Herbert! I'm [CRASH!] driving."
The randy pair were in an "open area location of a busy area where all drivers could see them having intercourse," police said. "Mommy! What're they doing?"

[New York Post] Amazon just handed the nation’s pharmacy chains a tough pill to swallow.
The e-tailing giant on Tuesday launched Amazon Pharmacy, a new online store that will allow customers to order prescription drugs directly to their homes.
The news sent shares of CVS tumbling 8.6 percent, while Rite Aid plummeted 16 percent and Walgreens Boots Alliance fell 9.6 percent on fears that the drugstore sector is the latest to land in Amazon’s crosshairs.
Amazon Pharmacy will ship common medicines like insulin and asthma inhalers, as well as generic or brand-name drugs. The new service won’t sell opioids or other drugs that are at higher risk of theft. The service requires a doctor’s prescription, like at a regular pharmacy, and will accept most insurance.
Customers will be able to speak to pharmacists 24/7 via the company’s site, and will give customers the option to compare prices of different drugs, as well as quickly switch between a co-pay and non-insurance option. Prime members using the service will receive "up to 80 percent savings" on generic drugs when paying without insurance, and up to 40 percent on name brands, the company says.

This isn't new. Been around a while. I use this for my wife as she takes multiple prescriptions and the local Walgreens and CVS kept fucking things up. PillPack (Amazon) hasn't messed it up once and we get it on time, they contact the doctor for refills and everything. Very happy with it.
[Washington Examiner] President Trump fired the top cybersecurity official who oversaw the security of this year’s elections and had refused in recent days to confirm the president’s allegations of widespread election-related fraud.
"The recent statement by Chris Krebs on the security of the 2020 Election was highly inaccurate, in that there were massive improprieties and fraud - including dead people voting, Poll Watchers not allowed into polling locations, 'glitches' in the voting machines which changed ... votes from Trump to Biden, late voting, and many more. Therefore, effective immediately, Chris Krebs has been terminated as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency," Trump wrote in a pairs of tweets Tuesday evening.
The termination comes just after senior administration officials denied a report that Trump directed acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf to fire Krebs. Three additional senior administration officials with firsthand knowledge of DHS and White House operations said Wolf did not refuse or receive instruction from Trump to remove Krebs. Two officials said that a Cabinet officer cannot fire a presidentially appointed, Senate-confirmed official. Only Trump himself has that authority.
[Townhall] Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has moved forward to confirm a number of federal judges this week and praised President Trump for their nominations.
“While our committees are working, the full Senate is keeping busy with one of our core constitutional responsibilities: continuing to confirm well-qualified men and women to lifetime appointments to the federal judiciary," McConnell said from the Senate floor Tuesday. "Yesterday, we voted to advance the nomination of Kristi Haskins Johnson, the current Solicitor General of Mississippi with multiple impressive clerkships under her belt, to serve as a District Judge for the Southern District of Mississippi. She’ll make history as the first woman to join the bench in that district."
“This is just the first of several nominations we’ll consider this week. We’ll also vote today on Benjamin Beaton, a Kentuckian who has been nominated to be a District Judge for the Western District of Kentucky," he continued. “Mr. Beaton received a first-rate education from Kentucky’s Centre College and then Columbia Law School, where he edited the law review. He clerked on the D.C. Circuit and on the Supreme Court for the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg."
McConnell's agenda and focus on judges prompted a meltdown from Democrat Senator Sherrod Brown.
Yesterday President Trump sent two additional nominations to the Senate for confirmation, including a replacement for Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
Joseph L. Barloon, of Maryland, to be a Judge of the United States Court of International Trade, vice Leo Maury Gordon, retired.
Thomas L. Kirsch II, of Indiana, to be United States Circuit Judge for the Seventh Circuit, vice Amy Coney Barrett, elevated.

“Mr. Beaton received a first-rate education from Kentucky’s Centre College and then Columbia Law School, where he edited the law review. He clerked on the D.C. Circuit and on the Supreme Court for the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg." That's two disqualifications to begin with.

There are 2 circuit court nominees pending. If both are confirmed Trump will have placed 55 circuit court judges in his first 4 years. Obama confirmed a total of 55 in his 8 years.
It is a foundational tenet of leftist policy that this is "impossible" to do.
[FauxNews] An intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was shot down in space from a warship for the first time during a successful demonstration on Tuesday, according to the Missile Defense Agency (MDA).
The ICBM target missile launched from a test range in the Marshall Islands, located in the Pacific Ocean, between Hawaii and the Philippines around 12:50 a.m., and was shot down in space by a missile launched from the guided-missile destroyer USS John Finn at sea, the MDA announced.
It was destroyed by an advanced SM-3 Block IIA ballistic missile defense interceptor made by Raytheon Missiles & Defense and co-developed with Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, a statement said.
