The judge in this Wisconsin murder case first advised the jury that details had been corrupted by the media. The day of the two “murders”, I watched brand-new videos of two rioters who assaulted Rittenhaus, that 17-year-old “armed guard”. Of the first “murdered” rioter, no street videos showed his being shot and killed. After being struck by the second rioter, Rittenhaus killed him in self-defense. The third rioter who raced to Rittenhaus’ side was shielding a pistol from sight. When he raised it, that rioter was shot in the forearm, and was then unable to release his grip on his Glock pistol. Recently-released FBI drone coverage vindicates Rittenhaus, so expect more rioting in the name of Minnesotan George Floyd, who’d died earlier this summer while in police custody. But wait! The judge just had a visit at his home from George Floyd’s nephew, threatening that trial jurors’ photographs will be made public. We can expect a mistrial now. |

[Letting Yourself Go] Now that we lived during a plague, I understand why most renaissance paintings are of chubby women laying around without a bra. |
[Infrastructure] The House approved a $1.85 trillion package of road and other infrastructure projects after Democrats resolved a months-long standoff between progressives and moderates, notching a victory that President Joe Biden and his party had become increasingly anxious to claim. Link |

[Someone Who Used To Live Here] I can’t stand reading the Konk Life Daily News or the Keys News, any longer. They are so left wing to the point of propaganda and out-right lying. It makes me sick! The Keys have crashed and will never return to what they were 20, 30 years ago. The new breeders have turned the Keys into a holy playland of air heads and profiteers. I am out of here after 30 years of fun that turned into plastic parasite sand dunes. |

[“Misogynist who lives alone”] That greedy greedy greedy animation verifies to me to never let women ever run anything in government or the military. |

![]() The Snipping Tool doesn’t work. The time and date doesn’t appear on all my monitors. The File Explorer has a subtle new look with colored and shaded icons it’s easier to navigate. When Microsoft notifies you that it’s your turn to install Windows 11, do it, it has a lot of security stuff you need. Then the hard part—checking for updates. It took me about a dozen times going through the upload/download/install routine to totally update my laptop. Here’s how to update. Windows icon>Settings> Windows Update> Check for updates. It should read: You’re up to date. If not you’d better update, or else! |

[Trolling] I think the poster belittling all women is a troll with nothing better to do. People can’t really be that dumb? |

[The Fallen Actor] They will probably make a monument as a tribute to fallen actors who died in the line of famedom. |
