Since Jan. 23, the U.S. State Department had warned Americans not to travel to Russia, saying there was the “potential for harassment against U.S. citizens by Russian government security officials.” Yet, Brittney Griner and other WNBA players have for years played overseas in countries like Russia, precisely because they’re paid far more than in the U.S. https://theblackwallsttimes.com/2022/03/07/detained-in-russia-wnba-star-brittney-griner-faces-uncertain-future/

The crime has neither been solved, tried or punished yet. It's far from a dead horse. It's still a work in progress and its extremely relevant given ongoing efforts to allow the rules to be broken in future, even in the event of the efforts being unconstitutional. And finally, Trump may yet run again so the 2020 election will be very relevant despite your wish to sweep it under the carpet.

Again, I said that an AR-15 round has a greater hitting power than a glock. At no stage did I state or imply that an AR-15 was a handgun. The kinetic energy of a bullet determines its hitting power, not just its size. The amount of energy a bullet radiates into a target is determined by a simple formula taught in high school: It’s the product of one half the projectile’s mass times the square of the velocity. https://www.thetrace.org/2017/06/physics-deadly-bullets-assault-rifles/

The AR-15 assault rifle was engineered to create what one of its designers called “maximum wound effect.” Its tiny bullets – needle-nosed and weighing less than four grams – travel nearly three times the speed of sound. As the bullet strikes the body, the payload of kinetic energy rips open a cavity inside the flesh – essentially inert space – which collapses back on itself, destroying inelastic tissue, including nerves, blood vessels and vital organs. “It’s a perfect killing machine,” says Dr. Peter Rhee, a leading trauma surgeon and retired captain with 24 years of active-duty service in the Navy. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/all-american-killer-how-the-ar-15-became-mass-shooters-weapon-of-choice-107819/

It has strategic advantage in blockading shipping moving south from Odessa. -
This is the reason Pelosi blocked Gym Jordan from the Jan 6 committee. In a column noting the continuing interference Republican Party members are running for Donald Trump as the Jan 6th Committee exposes more evidence of the former president's links to the Capitol insurrection, political scientist Jeffrey C. Isaac from Indiana University, Bloomington, singled out Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) as the man who could be the key to more information about that day's events. '"Jim' was one of the most violent and adamant promoters of Trump’s Big Lie," he accused. "After the violence of Jan. 6th subsided, Jim led the effort on the floor of the Senate to delay and obstruct the counting of the Electoral Votes, and was perhaps the most vocal and visible of the 147 Congressional Republicans who voted to overturn Biden’s victory. https://www.rawstory.com/jim-jordan-2657596719/

A lying scum bag like Kavanaugh on the bench. Apparently, Brett Kavanaugh made a promise to US Senator Susan Collins, the Maine Republican who says she’s pro-choice, that he would not vote to overturn Roe if appointed to the Supreme Court. This is getting a lot of attention, because Collins is getting a lot of attention. She said she believed he wouldn’t go there. https://www.rawstory.com/the-supreme-courts-illegitimacy-is-accelerating/

U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, the Republican nominee for Tennessee’s open U.S. Senate seat, has twice been on the list of speakers for a conference organized by an anti-Muslim activist group, and has met with leaders of a far-right Austrian political party with Nazi roots. Blackburn, who has previously faced criticism for her association with a former leader of a neo-Confederate hate group, was listed as one of 20 confirmed speakers — including Milo Yiannoupolous and Steve Bannon — at the November 2017 Restoration Weekend, a three-day gathering hosted by the David Horowitz Freedom Center. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/tn-elections/2018/10/04/marsha-blackburn-senate-hate-group-david-horowitz/1513144002/ was estimated by GovTrack to be the most ideologically conservative member of the Senate for the 2019 legislative year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsha_Blackburn
