Wild...

It’s been a wild few weeks for Michael Avenatti. The “street fighter” who can defeat President Trump, both as a candidate in 2020 and in court on behalf of Stormy Daniels.

For most of 2018, the lawyer has managed to stay in the national spotlight with the countless TV appearances. 

Then a stunning reversal, Avenatti was up against domestic violence accusations.

A $4.85-million judgment in favor of a former colleague, who alleges Avenatti funneled money to different entities to avoid paying his debts.

A public rift with Daniels, who told The Daily Beast that he launched a fundraising site in her name without her permission and filed a defamation suit against Trump against her wishes, then the pair appeared to have reconciled.

A debtor’s examination related to unpaid child and spousal support in his divorce. According to one September court filing, Avenatti owes his ex-wife more than $1 million.  

The potential criminal probe into Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnick, who claimed she witnessed then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh spike girls’ drinks at high-school parties so they could be “gang-raped” by groups of boys... then inconsistencies.
More to come...?

Incarceration...

Mass incarceration raises serious issues of social justice, because it has been heavily skewed toward poor minority men with less than high school educational attainments. 

African American male high school dropouts are one hundred times more likely to be sent to prison than college-educated white men. 

Remarkably, as of 2010, more than one-third of African American male high school dropouts aged 20 to 39 were in jails, state, or federal prisons. 

Wall...

Any thing else the Media/ Dems are interested in other than the wall?

Even as Turkish leaders call for an international inquiry into Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khassogi's murder, the Committee to Protect Journalists found the Turkish government to be the world's biggest jailer of journalists for the third consecutive year, according to a newly released report. 

According to the global press freedom watchdog's Annual Prison Census, 251 journalists are currently in jails around the world as of Dec. 1 for charges related to their work -- 68 in Turkey, 47 in China and 25 in Egypt, collectively responsible for more than half of the journalists behind bars.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been one of the harshest critics of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for his alleged role in Khassogi's killing, but following a failed coup against his government in 2016, experts said, Erdogan has engaged in a country-wide crackdown on criticism.

Comment: Some journalist are a "want a be" above the law. Some alien themselves with or support variety of groups that is outlawed, sponsor terrorists or just against the government with many fake news.

Remove...

The Democrats are doing better by staying silent. Silent about the Taxes, the Immigration, the boarders, etc. If they start talking, well...

Again...

وجه مضيء

وفرزُ النّفوس كفرزِ الصّخور ..
ففيها النّفيس وفيها الحجر

وبعضُ الأنام كبعض الشّجر ..
جميلُ القوامِ شحيحُ الثّمر

وبعضُ الوعودِ كبعض الغُيُوم ..
قويّ الرعودِ شحيحُ المطر

وكمْ من كفيفٍ بصيرِ الفؤاد ..
وكم من فؤادٍ كفيفِ البصر

وكمْ من أسيرٍ بقلبٍ طليق ..
وكم من طليقٍ كواه الضّجر

وكم من شهابٍ بعالي السّماء ..
بطرفةِ عينٍ تراه اندثر

وما كلّ وجهٍ مضيءٍ يدور ..
بعتمةِ ليلٍ يسمّى قمر

وخيرُ الكلامِ قليلُ الحروف ..
كثيرُ القطوفِ بليغُ الأثر

فقطرةُ ماءٍ مراراً تدقُّ ..
على الصَّخْر ِ حتى تشقُّ الصّخر

ولو لم تهزّ الرياحُ الزهورَ ..
لما فاحَ عطرٌ وماتَ الزَّهَر

شعر أبي العتاهية Let this be a lesson. Just a thought.

Plot...

With a Hollywood masterpiece, a trial began for a Florida woman accused of helping orchestrate the death of her husband in order to secure a massive insurance payout. 

Mike Williams disappeared while duck hunting on a large lake west of Tallahassee. 

His wife, Denise Williams, petitioned to have him declared dead due to accidental drowning.  She collected 1.5 million Dolars insurance, married Winchester in December 2005,  and divorced him in 2016.

Last year, Winchester pleaded no contest to kidnapping his ex-wife at gunpoint, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Winchester described his long-running affair with Denise Williams. 

He had intended to drown Mike by pushing him from his canoe. But he panicked when he saw Williams struggling in the water to get out of his jacket and duck waders and so he shot him.

It never works, yet some misguided try it repeatedly.
