The lawsuit alleges numerous causes of action related to comments the actor allegedly made about the deceased Marine’s family after learning that his sister was in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021. Law & Crime
The following-back-and-forth is noted:
Baldwin: When I sent the $ for your late brother, out of real respect for his service to this country, I didn’t know you were a January 6th rioter.
Roice: Protesting is perfectly legal in the country and I’ve already had my sit down with the FBI. Thanks, have a nice day!
Baldwin: I don’t think so. Your activities resulted in the unlawful destruction of government property, the death of a law enforcement officer, an assault on the certification of the presidential election. I reposted your photo. Good luck.

Being killed on set would mean the family couldn't sue, this way is more painful to the sanctimonious prick.
[Defense One] President Vladimir Putin is more likely than not to invade Ukraine again in the coming weeks. As someone who helped President Barack Obama manage the U.S. and international response to Russia’s initial invasion of Ukraine in 2014, and our effort to keep Moscow from occupying the whole country into 2015, I am distressingly convinced of it.
Why? I see the scale and type of force arrayed by the Russian military, the ultimatums issued by Putin and his officials, the warlike rhetoric that has until recently saturated Russian airwaves, and the impatience with talks expressed by his foreign minister. Add to that the likely anxiety produced in Putin by the demonstrations last week in Kazakhstan—and Moscow’s success in tamping them down.
But the basic reason I think talks with Russia will fail is that the United States and its allies have nothing they can immediately offer Moscow in exchange for a de-escalation.
[Defense One] The United States must do more than issue ultimatums about sanctions and economic penalties. U.S. leaders should be marshalling an international coalition of the willing, readying military forces to deter Putin and, if necessary, prepare for war.
If Russia prevails again, we will remain stuck in a crisis not just over Ukraine but about the future of the global order far beyond that country’s borders. Left unrestrained, Putin will move swiftly, grab some land, consolidate his gains, and set his sights on the next satellite state in his long game to restore all the pre-1991 borders: the sphere of geographical influence he deems was unjustly stripped from Great Russia.
The world will watch our response. Any subsequent acceptance of Russian gains will spell the beginning of the end of the international order. If Europe, NATO, and its allies in Asia and elsewhere fail to defend the foundational United Nations principles of sanctity of borders and state sovereignty, no one will. Sanctity of borders, you say? Ukrainian borders?

Not the "Domino theory" narrative again?
Couple a feckless administration with a "woke" military and you have a recipe for another disaster.
This administration would have trouble organizing a one-man parade.
Borders are important in other countries but not ours? WTF?

This retarded regurgitation of hollow cant shows why our ruling class is so fvcking incompetent. Evelyn Farkas is the brightest bulb these dimwits can offer. Consider how stupid and shallow her points are:
the basic reason I think talks with Russia will fail is that the United States and its allies have nothing they can immediately offer Moscow in exchange for a de-escalation
The man wants us to stop expanding NATO. No NATO membership for Ukraine. Got that ? No.Ukrainian.accession.to.NATO.
How fvcking obtuse do you have to be not to grasp what Putin has said, plainly and unmistakably, fifty times already?
Then she blathers endlessly about the End of the International Order, lions 'n' tiguhz 'n' beahz Oh My!
When did that happen as a result of Russia asserting its power in its backyard? After 2008? Nope. 2014? No. Why exactly is the Transdniester more significant than Crimea or Georgia for the continued survival and Success of The International Order? How does that work?
Again, this is one of their intellectuals speaking.
[American Greatness] The quest for truth-in-COVID did pick up some steam in late spring 2021.
Not about the vaccine, though.
About the origins of the virus.
From the first days of the epidemic, strong circumstantial evidence suggested Sars-CoV-2 had leaked from a Chinese lab. Both the virus itself and the facts around its emergence pointed to human intervention.
Wuhan, the city of 10 million people where the first cases were found, is home to China’s most important viral research laboratory, the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The institute aggressively researched bat coronaviruses, which China had viewed as a serious risk since the original SARS outbreak in 2003.
In 2017 the institute opened China’s first Biosafety Level 4 laboratory. Level 4 labs are the most secure available, designed to handle deadly pathogens such as Ebola. But just months after the lab opened, U.S. State Department officials visited and reported in a cable to Washington that the new facility was at risk of a serious accident. They found "a serious shortage of appropriately trained technicians and investigators needed to safely operate this high-containment laboratory."
The troubled lab was located only miles from the first cluster of cases in central Wuhan. And it had worked with a virus very similar to Sars-CoV-2 known as RaTG13 (or RaBtCov/4991), which had been found in a cave in 2013 after several miners working there became seriously ill with pneumonia.

Bio weapon is an Asian passion. Use of infection used many times against their own people. They have a long history in this use and attacking other peoples is not a concern for them. People to them are but blades of grass.

It's working out so well for them right now. They are locking themselves down into a worse recession than the one that was supposed to usher in the 1000 year reich permanent dem rule. And their biggest custoners are not buying as much now.
Yes, a big win for them. /sarc

India leads the charge"In what may be the first legal case of its kind globally, a petitioner in India is seeking to prosecute Bill Gates, Indian vaccine czar Adar Poonawalla, and Indian government and public health officials over the death of a 23-year-old man who died after receiving AstraZeneca’s Covishield vaccine."

My level of concern over the origins of COVID-19 has decreased greatly. Evidence for this has been thoroughly hidden and or buried along with those "in the know" back in the PRC over the last 2 years. I am more concerned about the next viral agent of mass destruction. Stay tuned.

[American Thinker] The Democrats and the propaganda ministry have tried to portray the events of January 6 as the greatest assault on democracy... in like, forever. But it seems like that narrative is starting to unravel. The unraveling began when many people began to suspect that the whole thing was a setup and started looking into it.
It wasn’t law enforcement or MSM journalists investigating -- they could be controlled. It was amateur citizen investigators using the power of the internet. Ah... the internet -- allowing average citizens to cross-reference and collate a limitless sea of information. Our Founders would approve.
Citizen investigators began to identify individuals who were clearly involved in inciting the riot on January 6. But a curious number of them had not been arrested by the FBI, even though their identity was well known. One such individual is Ray Epps. Epps is seen on video urging the crowd to enter the Capitol building. He lives in Arizona on a ranch and hasn’t been arrested. There are numerous others, just like him. The question became unavoidable: Did the federal government have involvement with January 6? We don’t know the answer to that question -- and that’s a problem for a constitutional republic.
As this curious information began to come to public attention, the FBI cover-up started. It removed Ray Epps from its "most wanted" list and released a report stating that there was no evidence of a coordinated attack on the Capitol -- even though they had been calling it a coordinated attack for months. Apparently, the bureau hoped the whole thing would fade into obscurity. But it didn’t. Merrick Garland and San Fran Nan wouldn’t let it.
The proud head of the police part of our police state couldn’t let it go. Garland was having too much fun playing with his new "fully operational death star" -- which has the Orwellian name "Department of Justice." The only thing missing is a "Peoples" at the beginning of that name. Unfortunately, Garland has bragged for months about his "shock and awe" campaign to bring insurrectionists to justice. The DoJ has had hundreds of citizens under arrest for months -- for the horrendous crimes of trespassing and taking selfies on Capitol grounds. What are prosecutors supposed to do? Go to the judge and say, "Oops! Our bad." That’s not the way police states operate.
Merrick Garland isn’t the only one pushing the narrative beyond what the evidence supports. San Fran Nan has kept the topic in the news as well. She is facing a midterm shellacking, looking down the barrel of a Trump return to politics, and needs a propaganda blunt object with which to beat on Republicans. Her solution was simple, elegant, and stupid.
[American Greatness] Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said during an interview on Thursday that Joe Biden’s inability to express a coherent message on foreign policy has become such a national security risk, he should probably not be allowed "to speak or appear in public."
Paul appeared on the Hugh Hewitt Show to discuss a wide range of topics, including Biden’s long and meandering press conference Wednesday afternoon.
"You know, it’s rambling and disjointed enough that it’s really hard to get a coherent message out of it," Paul told Hewitt. The senator stressed that it is of the utmost importance for a world leader to know what and what not to say.
"There are things you do to try to influence other countries," he explained. "And they are influenced by your public pronouncements. And in some ways, that’s all you have. You have the threat of military might, but you also have the influence of what you say."
Biden, who appeared tired, confused, and disoriented at times throughout the presser, at one point speculated that Russia will soon invade Ukraine. He also suggested that our NATO allies are not fully united on how to handle tensions between Ukraine and Russia, and that a "minor incursion" by Russia into Ukraine’s sovereign territory would be tolerated by the West.
Administration officials quickly put out statements to the media walking back Biden’s remarks, but the damage was done. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, a ruthless exploiter of weakness, had already seen Biden’s mixed messages.
"So you can’t be sending a muddled message or a message of well, it may not be too big a deal, you know, if there’s a Russian incursion," Paul told Hewitt. "So I think that it’s a mistake for him to be out in front. It’s dangerous to the country. And I think we’re stuck with him, in all likelihood, until 2024. And I think it would be good for the country for him not to speak and not to appear in public."

I would go with not speaking at all, I'm tired of hearing that blithering idiot.

^ Generally agree with you M but in this case he's destroying the country as well. Not to worry though, his handlers are trying to stuff him in the basement and provide a suitable video doppelganger. Much better than an actual meat puppet.

The have knocked the legs out from under any future efforts they make to apply the 25th Amendment skeer story to a non-dem president. All anyone will have to do is make the comparison to how they found Joe to be competent.

My thinking is, compared to Billy Jeff Clinton and Bath House Barry, who are both severely flawed individuals, but at least mentally competent, Bidet is not, himself, a serious threat to the future of America. His handlers and backers are, and there is pretty much no way they avoid being damaged by association with Joe. They need to be exposed and tied to Joe's legacy of pathetic mediocrity forever.

The State of the Union & Groundhog Day
This February 2, 2022, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address will occur on the same day.
This is an ironic juxtaposition of events.
One involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to an insignificant creature of little intelligence for prognostication . . .

Joe Headroom.
I disagree. More, please. Why deny the voters of the United States, indeed the people of the world, the stage of the most popular, effective politician in the history of the United States, nay, the world.
Defeated Trump without even campaigning, without even trying. So persuasive is he, that professionally neutral moderators were won over before even the second question. Cicero cries for what he himself never could be. Machiavelli, as outdated as the flat Earth.

Klain may be the immediate management handler and have input along with Dr Jill about what sidebar benefits flow from what the Meat Puppet says on Teleprompter Today, but the real policy decision makers are a Committee that includes the Obama wing of the demokrat elites, big tech, the gay lobby, teachers and other unions, and the lurking CCP. All people whose interests are best served by the rapid decline of our nation. Look around and explain what else could possibly explain the policy choices they have made and things they have halted!

Attaboy John Klain, keep up the good work (sarc). Between you and China Joe, this administration is sinking fast. Stolen elections have consequences.

Please to remember. Klain is yet another "expert." He's been getting paid to do this forever, so when he's wrong, he's "expert" wrong. Sorta like Fauxi and a cast of uncountable thousands of others inside the Beltway.
