Police suspect that the have identified the remains of the terrorist believed to be the Nashville bomber. Identified as Anthony Quinn Warner by matching DNA, a computing consultant in the Nashville Tennessee area.

Praised by Nashville Mayor John Cooper are 6 uniformed police officers who, upon hearing the message broadcasting a time to explosion, knocked on doors and evacuated residents. It is this relation that agrees with Mayor Cooper: Their swift action saved lives.

In Technical circles, AT&T is known for policies that are traumatic in illegal business practices and known to offer extremely poor service. Under the circumstances that no one was killed and three people wounded, It is not known if there are plans to erect a statue to Anthony Quinn Warner in his honor. Although this subverts expectations, I for one am disappointed in him for not making more efforts to hack together a more perfect union. The bombing, I think, was in poor taste.

At the end of the event, Dillon had been arrested for making an improper wide turn, and his father Marco was asphyxiated, pepper sprayed, and arrested for obstructing traffic, filming, and refusing the orders of a police officer.

It is not known at this time if Vince McMahon, of WWE fame, intends to use the antics of the Keller Police Department to inspire the bonanza of events in the professional wrestling dramas of the foreseeable future.

Nearly 2.1 million have voted early in U.S. Senate runoff in Georgia

The struggle appears to be real as the US senate runoff for the state of Georgia is counted to determine whether the Democrats will control both chambers of congress. Reuters observes that this runoff will determine the fate of President-elect Joe Biden’s agenda. The outcomes of the votes are to be kept secret until election day, when America is to collectively put our heads between our legs and kiss our asses goodbye, because this coupe is what it takes to get anything done on the hill.

Warren reintroduces bill to bar lawmakers from trading stocks

Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Pramila Jayapal reintroduce a bill to prohibit lawmakers from trading stocks in a move acknowledged in political circles to be hostile to the legal process. The reintroduction of the bill coincides with scrutiny on Georgia Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue regarding their stock trading during the pandemic. The claim goes that they used insider information from congressional briefings to buy and sell stock but that they have done no wrongs. *correction* The story does not state that there have been political advances made to hold these senators accountable for insider trading.

The story says that youth-led groups are drawing on successful campaigns they launched in the fall to mobilize young voters ahead of the Jan. 5th Elections.

50-year study of tax cuts on wealthy shows they always fail to “trickle down”

A London school has completed a study of real GDP across several countries that shows Trickle Down Economics to fail the American people, Salon.com reports. British researchers write that their data “Suggests there is a strong economic case for raising taxes on the rich to help repair public finances following the pandemic.” It is not clear from the report if there was another call to Occupy Wall Street.

Right-Wing Embrace Of Conspiracy Is ‘Mass Radicalization,’ Experts Warn

National Public Radio reports that an on line conference of veteran security officials and terrorism researchers warn of an increasingly polarizing climate leading to rising tensions and destabilizing conditions. NPR did not report on their own false flag facade politics being also a polarizing climate, or on their lack of reporting on the circumstances that make change possible or impossible as it is understood by the sciences. This conspiracy thing really is like a security blanket.

Unpublished Manuscript Phishing Scam

There is some mystery this month around a high effort phishing scam targeting unpublished manuscripts and the authors who write them. Not much is known about the motivations behind it, and the manuscripts do not appear to be being monetized on the black market or through ransoms, but the story details a highly coordinated effort with deep research and deeper knowledge of interprofessional connections. This relation’s conclusion is that libraphilia has become stalking in some dark corner of the internet.

More Weed in Schools

Pennsylvania K-12 students will have an opportunity to learn how to make a sustainable plastic using the hemp crop, the state Departments of Agriculture and Education announced on Thursday.
