The Facts, Ma’am — Just The Facts — Filosofa’s Word

I happened across an article in this morning’s news saying that Kellyanne Conway (remember her, the head bootlicker for a time and inventor of the phrase “alternative facts”) says Trump isn’t lying as much these days.  Yeah, right Kelly … go peddle your own lies somewhere else, for I’m immune to them.  Robert Reich’s column […]

Second Florida Man Pleads Guilty to Federal Hate Crime for Racially-Motivated Attack on a Black Man Using Axe Handle | OPA | Department of Justice

Roy Lashley, 55, pleaded guilty today to a federal hate crime for attacking a Black man because of his actual and perceived race.

According to the plea agreement, on Nov. 17, 2021, Lashley traveled to the Family Dollar in Citrus Springs, Florida, where the victim, a Black man, was shopping inside. Lashley repeatedly used racial slurs inside the store in reference to the victim and then followed the victim into the parking lot. There, Lashley retrieved an axe handle from the bed of his truck and struck the victim multiple times with it. Lashley directed racial slurs towards the victim before, during and after the attack. The victim sustained painful injuries to his face and legs, including a laceration to the inside of his mouth.

Russian conscripts not receiving promised financial benefits — Meduza (Me: Putin copying Trump – promising pay, then stiffing those owed?)

Russian Presidential Human Rights Council member Kirill Kabanov reported Monday that his office regularly receives messages about conscripts around the country either not receiving the payments the government has promised or receiving them only after delays. In addition, he said, volunteer soldiers regularly complain of not being granted the debt payment holidays they were guaranteed before deploying.

“The financial issue really is a painful one. Every day, new ‘nuances’ come to light that violate the direct rights and interests of citizens. Often, this is the result of stupid mistakes, bungling, or shortcomings (failure to think things through, lack of preparedness) in the procedures. It’s clear that there might be technical difficulties, but people aren’t being told about them; nothing is being explained,” he wrote on Telegram.
