A transgender woman from High Point, NC was found shot to death in a Birmingham, AL motel this past Friday. She was then misgendered and dead-named by police and the news media.
Police Sgt. Bryan Shelton said investigators have no motive or suspect information.
You probably saw the announcement last week that half a billion email accounts at Yahoo were hacked by those dastardly Soviet spies (no proof necessary).
Damn those evil Republicans for trying to slander and undermine this good and righteous health care program!
In today's edition of Through the Looking Glass, we have VA State Senator Richard Black (R) explaining what's really going on in Aleppo, and detailing how our government is lying to us:

As an added bonus, we have Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, interviewed by the BBC on Friday, calling the U.S. out on our backing of terrorists in Syria:
This makes no fucking sense, whatsoever:
9-13-2016 - NBCNEWS - NSA Chief: Potential Russian Hacking of U.S. Elections a Concern - The head of the National Security Agency said Tuesday that the potential for Russia to harm the U.S. electoral process in the upcoming general election is a concern.
This morning I had the unfortunate experiance of listening to people who should know better that Haitians themselves are to blame for Hurricane Matthew (and poverty):
1. Because they worship the devil and don't follow Jesus.
2..Because the became independent of France (unlike neighboring Guadeloupe).
3. Because they are corrupt.
4. Because they destroyed their forests/habitat/environment.

What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know.
It's what we know for sure that just ain't so.- - Samuel Langhorne Clemens, AKA Mark Twain
Julian Assange, Wikileaks founder, had scheduled a balcony announcement from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, and with articles circulating that Hillary Clinton had proposed a drone strike on Assange, cancelled that appearance due to "security concerns', moved it to a video announcement in Berlin (from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London) at at 8 AM local time -- 3 AM New York time, only to say that there we be more leaks dribbled out over the next ten weeks.
Part 2 of this series1 ended with formation of the Communist Party U.S.A. No sooner did the Party form than Congress began investigating it. Supposedly, in response to our World War I enmity against the German Empire and others, Congress had passed the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918 (actually amendments to the Espionage Act). The Sedition Act of 1918 was the first sedition law passed in the U.S. since the administration of our second President, John Adams--and that law was repealed during the administration of the very next President, Thomas Jefferson. These facts scream speak to the intent of the Framers. (Too Eighteenth Century?)
The Overman Committee, headed by Democratic Senator Lee Slater Overman, of North Carolina was a forerunner of the House Un-American Activities Committee, formed twenty years later. Overman was an ad hoc subcommittee of the Committee on the Judiciary (of all things).2 It operated from September 1918 to June 1919. Its charge was to investigate--wait for it--"pro-German sentiments" in the American liquor industry (the Octoberfest Revolution?).
Well, peeps, some of us on the East Coast are sighing and going into our well-established hurricane prep routine. We ALL hope that Matthew somehow tracks offshore and well offshore for the duration and lands a direct hit nowhere. Most of us can probably confess that our second hope is that if it doesn't stay offshore and hits somewhere, we hope that the effects are minimal and that the hit is not in our own backyard.
