James Rakeem Pierce, 28, was recently Inmate ID: #33409 at the Colleton County SC Detention Center, located in Walterboro,SC. Gang Leader of the ‘Cowboys’ thugs.
So, here is the obvious question: With so many arrests on his record, and violations of parole one behind the other. Why was he not behind bars? Was it another Soros Catch and Release DA at work?
BTW: His funeral go-$$$-me page has only raised $20 as of 8:15am this morning.
[JustTheNews] FBI whistleblower Steve Friend noted that the "Happiness Seminar" makes the bureau appear to be more like "Silicon Valley startup tech firms."
Former FBI agents criticized the bureau headquarters’ “Happiness Seminar” scheduled for later this month, saying that agents should be investigating crimes rather than worrying about their smile.
According to a photo of a poster tweeted on Tuesday by FBI whistleblower Steve Friend, FBI headquarters will host a “Happiness Seminar” on May 30 for employees to “Discover the power of smiling.”
Friend, an FBI special agent who left the bureau after blowing the whistle on alleged civil liberty violations during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot investigation, tweeted that the seminar will have three parts that feature “the effects of smiling,” “the effects of speaking good words,” and “the effects of doing good deeds.”
“The @FBI is woke and weaponized,” he added. “Americans deserve more for their taxpayer dollars and our premier law enforcement agency should focus on combatting actual crime instead of impersonating a Silicone Valley start up tech firm.”
He also noted that FBI Director Christopher Wray wants Republicans to increase the bureau’s “funding to $11.4 billion. How much taxpayer money goes towards ‘Happiness Seminars’ for employees?”
Regarding the “Happiness Seminar,” Kevin Brock, the former FBI Assistant Director of Intelligence, told Just the News on Friday, “The secret to happiness in an FBI career is investigating individuals who deserve to be investigated and bringing them to justice.”
As discussions continue as to where the FBI headquarters should be located, Brock added that he believes the building has “become way too big and a resource drain for the FBI," referencing an article he wrote on the subject last year. "If these types of activities are now being conducted at FBI headquarters, that’s one more argument in favor of assessing” whether the FBI headquarters should be so large, he said.
Friend told Just the News on Friday that the “Happiness Seminar” is “just another example of how prioritization for the headquarters arm of the FBI is completely out of balance with what the American people want from their premier law enforcement agency and what rank-and-file do for work on behalf of the bureau.”
He explained that it is “indicative of a trend in the past few years, almost an effort to make the FBI in line with Silicon Valley startup tech firms instead of a down the line, law-and-order-focused organization.” The “downstream effects” are that it attracts a “different sort of person” to apply for the FBI, “and I don't think it’s gonna do the country very well if they’re worried about comfort at work instead of their mission of enforcing federal law,” he added.
Friend also noted that one of his “personal objections of this is fostering a work environment in the FBI office to be a positive work environment.” He remarked that, “to be an agent, to investigate crime, that work is done outside the office,” adding that he’s “advocated for a long time” that the majority of agents’ time should be spent working with local and state law enforcement partners.
Friend explained that these partners bring casework to the FBI and “have experienced detectives that are even better than longtime tenured FBI agents because a lot of [those agents] are not focusing on investigative work,” but rather work that is administrative or focused on counterintelligence or national security.
On the poster for the "Happiness Seminar," it says that the event is “Presented by the FBI’s newest ERG: ASEZ WAO.”
Friend tweeted that ASEZ WAO is “the @FBI’s newest employee resource group.”
According to the FBI Jobs website’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion page, “ERGs are informal, employee-led groups that connect employees with shared interests to network and support one another. These groups bring awareness to barriers and issues impacting their members and advocate for solutions.”
The ERGs listed on the FBI site are Blacks in Government (BIG), FBI African American Millennials (FAAM), FBI Family, FBI Jewish Americans, FBI Latinos for Empowerment Advancement and Development (LEAD), FBI Pride, Federal Asian Pacific American Counsel, Federally Employed Women (FEW), From Boots to Suits, and Toastmasters Club.
The organization hosting the “Happiness Seminar” is ASEZ WAO. The acronym means “Let us save the earth from the beginning to the end as one family,” as ASEZ stands for “Save the Earth from A to Z” and WAO stands for “We Are One Family,” according to the organization’s website.
“ASEZ WAO is an international volunteer service group that consists of the Church of God young adult workers from 7,500 churches in 175 countries,” the website explains. “We plan to contribute to making improvements for mankind and the earth by taking care of our neighbors and communities with young adults’ passion and positive energy and participating in environmental protection activities.”
“The Church of God was established by the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong, in the Republic of Korea, at the ends of the earth in the east, in 1964,” according to the Church of God’s website.
Friend also tweeted on Wednesday photos of unclassified FBI materials that show the FBI Los Angeles Field Office has two new “Relaxation Rooms,” where employees can relax with a massage chair and white noise machine. These are across from the “Wellness and Resiliency Space,” which is “A space to empower employees to have an environment for stress management and mindfulness,” where self-help books are provided, according to the FBI email.
“With all these fantastic opportunities to NOT WORK at the @FBI while collecting a taxpayer-funded paycheck, it’s no wonder that applications are at record levels,” Friend tweeted. “Defund the FBI.”

makes the bureau appear to be more like "Silicon Valley startup tech firms."
As the feebs recruit more from that direction, they have to adjust their culture to make those individuals feel at home.

[ZH] Guess who stood for the national anthem? Starting in 2020, WNBA start Brittney Griner said she and her teammates would protest the national anthem. Previously, "During a game between the Phoenix Mercury and the Los Angeles Sparks, the two teams walked off the court while the National Anthem played. Interestingly enough, Griner mentioned that this will not be the last time she would walk off the court."
But 10-months in a Russian prison later, and the Biden administration swapped her for a notorious international arms trafficker, the "Merchant of Death" Viktor Bout last December...
Fast-forward to her return to freedom in the United States and her first competitive game since her release, in a preseason Phoenix Mercury against the Los Angeles Sparks game, which took place Friday...
What a difference facing down a 9-year prison sentence in Russia makes:
Prior to the tip, Griner and her teammates stood for the national anthem, and the No. 1 pick of the 2013 WNBA Draft received a loud ovation from the home crowd as she was introduced.
"Hearing the national anthem, it definitely hit different," Griner said. "It’s like when you go for the Olympics, you’re sitting there, about to get gold put on your neck, the flags are going up, and the anthem is playing, it just hits different.

Still a P.O.S. in my book.
The tide has turned and she needs sponsors.
However, given many sponsors have seen how REAL America buyers feel (BUD-LITE, Bed Bath & Bankrupt) BLM/AF/Wokeism is quickly dying.
Because the real America middle class isn't buying the BS Media was trying to sale.

I’m just happy to see her stand. Maybe scared straight, maybe changed attitude.

[ToloNews] The Ministry of Public Health reported two cases of polio ...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain... in Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. . A front man for the Health Ministry, Sharafat Zaman Amerkhail said that these two cases have been reported in Koot and Batikoot districts of Nangarhar province. One polio-stricken child has died.
This ministry said they will start a polio vaccination campaign soon.
"In these two cases one child is 4 years old and the other is 11. One of them lost their life and we want to start a polio vaccination campaign to prevent this disease," said Amerkhail.
Family members of the child who died in Batikoot district said that one year ago their child was infected with polio and was paralyzed from the neck down and after severe diarrhea died in the hospital.
The child was named Nazo.
"Her neck became paralyzed. She couldn’t control it. We took her to the hospital and on the night of Eid she died," said Iqbal Shah, the grandfather of Nazo.
"After this disease (polio) her feet become tiny. Her stomach become acidic, she lost control of her neck and she couldn't digest food," said Zarmina, the mother of Nazo.
At the same time, a number of citizens and health volunteers asked partner organizations to cooperate with them on vaccination campaigns.
"We will go for vaccination campaigns after one month and people must vaccinate their children on time," said Fida Mohammad, a health volunteer.
"We want more clinics and more public awareness campaigns," said Albani, a Nangarhar resident.
Based on numbers of the Ministry of Public Health, in 2020 there were 56 cases of paralyzed children, in 2021 there were four positive cases, and in 2022 there were two positive cases of this disease recorded in the country.

Ground stations keep track of thousands of satellites and objects in Earth’s orbit—a capability known as space situational awareness (SSA) that is critical for fighting and winning wars... Several ground stations used by China are located in South America... These facilities make up one segment of a global network of ground stations that maintain communications with satellites as they pass geographic regions along their orbit. Their proximity to the USA heightened fears they are used to spy on U.S. assets and intercept sensitive info.
Beijing could be in violation of the terms of its agreement with Argentina to only conduct civilian activities.

[Breitbart] Media company Vice filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Monday morning to facilitate its sale as a group of lenders including Soros Fund Management stand ready to acquire the troubled outlet....
In 2017, Vice Media was valued at $5.7 billion; more than the market capitalization of the New York Times.
Vice's difficulties come after the closure of fellow free digital media groups BuzzFeed News as ad revenues dried up and both had struggled to attract new investments, taking on debt to stay afloat.
Elsewhere various media companies have also started downsizing. Disney, Insider, ABC News, NPR, and Vox Media have all enacted layoffs of their own in recent months.

[Dawn] A woman, mother of five, was handed over to her brother’s family after she in a statement under Section 164 CrPC claimed that she and her children were kidnapped by her husband, Sudheer Odh, who forced her to convert.
The woman, Ms Shahida, stated before the second sessions judge of Jacobabad on Saturday that her husband was a cheat and had embraced Islam thrice in the past. Her two sons and three daughters, along with her brother and other family members, were present in court.
She said she and Sudheer Odh got married some eight years ago. "A few days back, my husband kidnapped me and my children at gunpoint from my brother’s home, subjected me to torture and forced me to convert," she further stated.

Seems like conversion at gun point wouldn’t stick very well. There are Catholics that I thought only showed up to Mass at Christmas and Easter, but evidently, they show up on Mother’s Day as well. Guilt is much more powerful coercion than kidnapping. It looks like it can instigate religious practice three or four times a year through several generations.
