The German defense company Rheinmetall stated that it is increasing the production of 120 mm tank and 155 mm artillery ammunition, and may even begin producing missiles for the M142 HIMARS. The company is confident that it can further increase the production of tank and artillery shells if needed.
A Portland woman said a gas station employee told her 'I don't serve Black people.' 3 years later, a jury awarded her $1 million in damages.
Unfortunately íts the gas station that pays. Like to see him bankrupted

25 Arrested Over Alleged Fake Nursing Diploma Scam In Florida.
Im sorry, I dont understand the level of psychosis, the complete detachment from caring, understanding the consequences. Just like, but worse than, criminals selling fake vacvination proof.
Over 7000 people willing to pretend to be capable of working in a hospital. The best that can be said is poverty is a terrible thing.
And TWENTY FIVE people arranged for it, got paid to fill hospitals with charlatans.

Can't watch the entire video of #TyreNichols brutal murder at the hands of police.
It's too painful.
His family doesn't want you to remember how he died.
His family released a video of Tyre Nichols doing one of his favorite things he truly enjoyed: skateboarding.
Let's remember him as he lived. ❤️

That's another guy I miss not being on The birds nest any more. For those getting worried, JM Vasquez is a soldier. He might be a mass shooter, but they are shooting back.
From GeeDawg's Live Feed President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has imposed sanctions from the National Security and Defense Council on 185 individuals and legal entities that Russia has been using to transport military equipment and personnel by rail. Their assets are being frozen and their property will be used to defend Ukraine. We will also work to ensure that other countries implement similar sanctions.

“The Department of Justice should launch an immediate investigation of the so-called SCORPION unit of the Memphis Police Department. What they are likely to find is a gang of thugs with badges, guns, tasers and police cruisers. It’s probably a good idea to take most all of that away.”

I did a reverse image search based on the screengrab I got from Fox News. The visually-similar images were all from police websites, and “Find Image Source” told me the source was … the NYPD (which, I figured, was likely because of the NYPD shield in the image — more on that in a second). Tineye didn’t find any matching images. So I kept hunting. 4/
