With all due respect, you don't get any vetting if everyone just goes with the flow.
Also, I just don't post that often to these threads anymore. Seems to me that some people feel they are doing something important but to me it just seems like a lot of wheel spinning.

Well we need to be making lists of this and other things like it that we was taken out of the law. That's complete bullshift! I wonder why Trump didn't rid us of these swampy laws that are bogging us down?

Pregnant?
Funny, when I looked at this pic, my first thought was how their child could look a lot like “circle back Jen” ? Did we ever figure out who the little girl in the pics with Renegade was ?
Gilgamesh Dream Tablet: Iraq puts looted artefact on display
The 3,500-year-old Gilgamesh Dream Tablet has gone on display in Iraq for the first time in three decades.
The clay artefact bears part of the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the world's oldest surviving works of literature.
It was looted from an Iraqi museum during the 1991 Gulf War and smuggled through many countries before ending up at Washington DC's Museum of the Bible.
Little is known about what happened to the tablet between 1991 and 2003, when it was bought by an antiques dealer in London. The dealer shipped the tablet to the US by international post without declaring formal entry.
t was sold again several times at auction in different countries before being bought in 2014 in a private sale by Hobby Lobby, an arts and crafts firm with a conservative Christian ethos.

Repeatedly beating your head against the wall against all logic whilst believing you are logical is an issue...
.....An investigating source in the French capital said the photograph – part of a bundle of prosecution evidence in the USA – ‘points to an intimate working relationship between suspects who were said to be running a sex ring together.’
Judicial police said the photograph will 'assist with their case against Brunel'.
Brunel was photographed on the ‘Lolita Express’ sitting in front of Ghislaine Maxwell who appears to partially unbutton her blouse in front of the two men. Epstein chuckles and Brunel, dressed in a yellow jumper and flamboyant Paisley jogging bottoms, feigns shock as he turns away.
The newly-disclosed image of Brunel has emerged in the New York court where Maxwell, 59, is on trial for transporting minors to Epstein, the late billionaire financier........
.....China is building its fifth Antarctic research station there nearly four decades after it opened its first, the Great Wall Station.
Xinhua news agency says the Inexpressible Island centre will "provide year-round support for researchers conducting tasks such as observations of land, ocean, atmosphere, ice shelf and biology, establishment of an observation and monitoring network in the Antarctic, and survey of marine environmental protection."
It says the Ross Sea is described "as the least altered marine ecosystem on earth - a living laboratory that could possibly tell the life history of the Antarctic".
Sounds great – but other countries are dubious about China’s real motives for expanding its presence on the frozen continent, and are also muscling up.......
"There's a lot of sound and fury around what the Chinese are doing because they've got money, their Antarctic programme is demonstrably expanding. .......

Increasing numbers of countries want a slice of Antarctica.
"What I think is more interesting, and is a consequence of this anxiety about China, is that a number of Western Antarctic states, particularly the Anglosphere countries have suddenly started this kind of splurge of facilities upgrades and buying new equipment."
.....Sullivan on Tuesday said in response to questions from reporters that the United States is out to ensure a forceful Chinese takeover of Taiwan "never happens." The Global Times in its editorial responded directly, saying China will not back down from its reunification effort.
"Mr. Sullivan, please be advised to sort out your mind carefully and think about what bargaining chips you do have in your hands to intimidate the Chinese mainland which is determined to achieve national reunification and has various strategic tools to resist blackmail," the paper wrote. "You will find your hands empty. Therefore, don't have a big mouth, Mr. Sullivan, otherwise you will only create more embarrassment for your country."
