She was killed by a black man.
No matter how much you hate them, you don't hate journalists enough.
The death of Tasia Fortune, a Black Mississippi woman found hanging from a tree on Aug. 3, has stirred distressing memories of the grim history of lynchings across the U.S. South.

Non golf tweet. But one of my most important tweets I’ve put out.
A follower who has become a good friend has a son who has gone thru a shit storm over the last month. And he needs our help.
Kettler is a Navy Officer and in mid August he had an allergic reaction to something. At first the doctors thought it was something minor and sent him home with Antibiotics.
Just a few days later he woke up in severe pain, and was sent to the ER, they realized he was in great danger and sent immediately in an ambulance to the burn unit at Loyola. His skin was literally burning off his body from the allergenic reaction.
He was admitted to ICU and diagnosed with Steven Johnson Syndrome. His case was so severe that it was nearly fatal. All of which came from the Antibiotics prescribed in the first visit.
Kettles dad Skip has left his job to come care for him and the family is renting an Airbnb.
Kettler is out of the hospital but can barely open his eyes and his recovery will be a long term process. Skip is staying in Chicago area to transfer him back and forth to rehab and help with every day activities. Kettler is not allowed back on base per doctors orders.
On top of that there is a dispute about who is responsible for the medical bills and as of right now the family might be on the hook for them.
Kettler is devastated that his Navy career could possible be over. He wanted so badly to follow in his grandfathers footsteps who was in the navy for 32 years.
Help if you can.
If I were Canadian I'd be dead. I'd have died in 2024 waiting for a PET scan that, despite not being the reason for the scan, detected an infection in my spine.
Realistically, the only reason I'm alive today is because of the US medical system model. It's imperfect, but it's also the best.
This Canadian woman was given MAID as her only choice for stage 4 cancer in Deathcare Canada. She went to the US and death was not the option the doctors there gave her.
Canadian healthcare used to be good, it is now in desperate fear of collapse. They're bringing in doctors who did not study in Canada and whatever else that entails.
I find the healthcare in the US unquestionably superior. Health insurance is the same since I don't pay income tax in Florida, I pay it on insurance. There is immediate, private healthcare if you need it.
Medically assisted suicide is not an option they offer.

Look what I found.
In October 2009, David Axelrod, senior adviser to the Obama administration, argued on ABC News that Fox News was not a “real news organization.” The Obama White House later excluded Fox News from a pool interview with Treasury official Kenneth Feinberg and denied that there had been an effort to exclude Fox.
But in 2011, after Judicial Watch obtained emails, the documents showed that the Obama administration had, in fact, specifically asked that Fox News be excluded from the interview pool.
Just remember: the rules are for thee, not for me.

This year only 8 umpires have been worse than Laz (>20 games called).
Ironic that he's defending CB Bucknor who, though he only has 2 games called this season, is the worst umpire in MLB.
These guys are delusional relics and they can't be gone soon enough.

I have a feeling this wont happen because politicians of all parties are scared shitless of actual shooters.
Oh, they ape respect when it's required, but deep down they know that men like Parnell are simply better than them and that scares them deeply.
Sean Parnell would make an outstanding Secretary of the Army.
He helped me at Concerned Veterans for America as we passed historic VA reforms.
@SeanParnellUSA is also a war hero.
As a 10th Mountain Division infantry officer, he led Outlaw Platoon through 485 days of combat on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
It was among the longest sustained combat tours of the war.
In one six-hour fight, his platoon faced an enemy force roughly ten times its size.
The first minute of the fight wounded every key leader, Parnell included.
He kept fighting and held his position.
He came home with two Bronze Stars, one for valor, and a Purple Heart.
As a former Army officer, I would be proud to have him lead our beloved Army.
I paid $1.09 less than that yesterday.
National average figures should be adjusted for state tax rates so people get a better idea of what their state government is doing to them.
Government makes a metric ton more money on gas and diesel than any oil company ever could.
Er'rybody wants to be a gangster until it's time to do ganster shit.
