Kamala has hire a new senior advisor, Rev. Jennifer Butler, to court people of faith onto the Harris-Walz ticket. But:<\/p>\n

“The many-headed beasts reveal the corruption of the imperial system around us. The imperial cult of the United States of America, whose stock market booms while unemployment skyrockets, had numbed many of us to our own reality,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

Christians need to “‘come out of the closet’ and witness to the word of justice in the face of a brutal empire asserting its control. They are to resist the temptation to go with the temptation to go with the flow of the imperial\u2026 military status quo.”<\/p>\n

“A large percentage of White Christians is marching to the drumbeat of White nationalism,” she said. “Given all this, nothing could be more important than reclaiming this radical book called the Bible and acting to make its vision for radical justice, equality and liberation a reality.”<\/p>\n

Another portion claims that Christians are weaponizing their religious freedom.<\/p>\n

“Rather than using religious freedom as a shield, Christians are using it as a sword,” Butler wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reminds me of why I haven’t darkened the door of the Presbyterian church I was raised in since high school. Doesn’t she remind you of the surgeon general dude?<\/p>\n

Linda Sun, former deputy Chief of Staff to NY Governor Kathy Hochul and aide to former Governor Cuomo, has been charged as an unauthorized agent of the Chinese government.<\/p>\n

\n

Sun was charged on Tuesday with violating and conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registrations Act, visa fraud, alien smuggling and money laundering conspiracy, according to an unsealed copy of the indictment. Her husband and co-defendant, Chris Hu, was also charged with money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to commit bank fraud as well as misusing means of identification, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

The couple allegedly received \u201csubstantial economic and other benefits\u201d from the Chinese government \u2013 including facilitating millions of dollars in business transactions \u2013 none of which were disclosed to New York state, according to the indictment.\u00a0 CNN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well, as long as it’s nothing serious…. We used to say in sales that there was no shame in being a whore, just in being a cheap whore. Millions in business ain’t cheap.<\/p>\n

Sucking up to the boss…AW1Ed likes boats powered by renewable resources<\/del> sailboats. And this was a good sized one – 56 meters long with a 72 meter mast.<\/p>\n

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is showing its human and humane side. No doubt you all saw the news about that luxury super yacht that went down faster than Kamala at a Willie Brown fundraiser<\/del> in a storm off Sicily, killing about a third of those aboard. One of the dead was billionaire Mike Lynch, who was celebrating being acquitted of fraud charges in the sale of his company to HPE.<\/p>\n

\n

The claims were made against Lynch and Sushovan Hussain, the former chief financial officer of Autonomy, a business software company Lynch founded, which was sold to Hewlett Packard in 2011 for $11 billion.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Gets confusing – he was acquitted in the US, but a UK court ruled against him.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt is HPE\u2019s intention to follow the proceedings through to their conclusion,” the statement continued.<\/p>\n

Angela Bacares, Lynch’s widow \u00a0\u2014 who was rescued after the sinking,\u00a0which also resulted in the death of the couple’s 18-year-old daughter Hannah \u2014 could be liable for the damages, per the Associated Press.\u00a0\u00a0 People<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Psst, HPE:\u00a0 Bad optics. REALLY bad optics shaking down a new widow.<\/p>\n

And in closing – Pvt. Travis King hit the news last July running into North Korea to avoid a military trial.<\/p>\n

Frank Rosenblatt, the attorney, told Military.com in an emailed statement that King will plead guilty to five of the 14 offenses that he was charged with under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. One of the five charges King will plead guilty to is desertion, he said.\u00a0 Military.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I suspect his military career is over… assuming he doesn’t wind up in Eastern Kansas. Not the most salubrious climate in winter. Gotta wonder how screwed up his life was that North Korea looked like a better alternative… and worse, that they threw him back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
