https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/marjorie-taylor-greene-waukesha-rittenhouse-b1962477.html

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Marjorie Taylor Greene says that the blame for the Waukesha killings lies with the mainstream media, Democrats, and Joe Biden, bizarrely claiming they incited the murder of five people Sunday night’s parade in the town.

The Georgia representative tweeted: “After the widespread hateful reaction to the Rittenhouse verdict & dog whistle calls to radical BLM ground troops by the mainstream media, Democrats, and even the President of the United States, we must ask if they incited the mass murder in Waukesha, WI.”

The man taken into custody after an SUV drove into a Christmas parade on Sunday night is 39-year-old Milwaukee local Darrell Edward Brooks Jr, according to polic

I got through looking at an article: Richest Hollywood..


Search for Richest in Hollywood..
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/310326230575934109/



I looked them. it got me addicted to see them all., but I knew the richest one from the very beginning.
Can You guess?....Well I looked at all 58 and their net worth, and he was not among them...YES IT WAS A BIG LIE..

Not among them?....Yes, the richest of them all is .........GEORGE LUCAS...WORTH OVER 6 BILLION.dollars.

Of all 58, none worth more than George Lucas, and Lucas was not mentioned And you know how he did it?................................. "Star Wars" and all that stuffand he sold the ..."Star Wars" ...To Disney for several Billion.
....no I don't know how much..you can look it up. (yes, I knew Lucas was worth more than those 59 mentioned...
I looked at them all, Lucas was not mentioned.

So I knew from the very beginning of the article at top, and they never mentioned the richest of them all.
....And I had to look up Gerogie by myself. ...Look up:.. George Lucas net worth...?

I looked and looked at the top link ...George was not there. I will look again to make sure..

My Opinion About Rittinhouse...Very Short: He is a "Fool" Who Cannot Keep His Mouth Shut!.

...He went to Fox News for an interview several days after he was just acquited.
Rittenhouse said he is:"not a racist". He thinks he can say and do anything.
I believe there will be consequences to his actions Yes, of those actions.
Much to stupid to know that is best to keep your mouth shut after doing something like he did.
He is a ..Big Mouth" just like a well known politician who lost last year to Joe Biden.

A word in advertising almost always lies about itself, & we all know it!

We know this word from a very early age. It is common everywhere and anywhere. Have you figured this
out yet? So simple and yet so common. The word hurts many and after a while, most people know it is a lie. Enough!! ...The word is 4 letters. A short one. The word is FREE...

........................FREE THIS, AND FREE THAT....................FREE, FREE, FREE!!!.............

After we read the rest of the ad, there is ...very small print....so small that you cannot read it.

VERY LITTLE IS FREE. but many of us fall for the word...Why? We want it to be true, but we know
it isn't. I get coupons in the mail that say this is free and that is free. Free valuation & free presentation.
...So, the sales person comes to your house and gives a sale's pitch. Yes, that one is ok, but why is that
person coming to present the pitch? So, you will buy this or that. In advertising that is the word that
lies the most, and we all know about it but occasionally we get hooked by the word ...FREE. And yes,
have been hooked by that word, but not lately.

I thought I would pass on one of my pet peeves about advertising. Very little is FREE..

Thank You for reading this. Reading it was free, but last time I looked, the internet was NOT FREE!!

A COMPANY CHARGES ME SO MUCH A MONTH FOR INTERNET SERVICE...IT AIN'T FREE.......iS IT??

Was Rittenhouse not convicted because ..."self defense"?...Why let go? I don't understand..

....Perhaps this is me, but some others think the same way...Why let go?

Shohei Ohtani Unanimously Wins AL MVP Award

Source: ESPN...

Shohei Ohtani, coming off a largely unprecedented 2021 season, was crowned the American League's Most Valuable Player unanimously on Thursday night, cementing the two-way superstar as a global sensation.

Later in Japan, the Tokyo Tower was scheduled to be lit up in Los Angeles Angels colors to celebrate Ohtani becoming the 19th unanimous MVP in major league history. Earlier, Major League Baseball ran a global spot centered on Ohtani in four languages, representing the latest in a string of efforts to market him all over the world.
____________________________________________further down in article_____________________________________________

Ohtani, 27, amassed 46 home runs and made 23 starts for an otherwise lowly Angels team. Offensively, he posted a .965 OPS (second highest in the AL), added eight triples (tied for the major league lead) and stole 26 bases (a mark topped by only seven players). He became the sixth player in history with at least 45 homers and at least 25 stolen bases in the same season, joining a decorated list of names that includes Al

NOTE THIS ONE...NO ONE HAS DONE THIS:....(156 STRIKE OUTS, 45 HOME RUNS)

Ohtani also compiled 130 1/3 innings on the mound, and boasted a 3.18 ERA with 156 strikeouts and 44 walks. Among those with at least 120 innings in 2021, Ohtani ranked within the top 14% in strikeout percentage, the top 19% in opponents' slugging percentage and the top 16% in expected fielding independent pitching. All told, Ohtani was worth 9.1 Baseball-Reference wins above replacement, far more than anybody else in the sport.
