Polvanera 17 Primitivo DOP Gioia del Colle: Bringing Puglia's Masterpiece to Thailand
Thank you for your laudation of the Primitivo variety of Italian red wines. I have currently seven different brands of Primitivo in my cellar where I live in northern Italy, of which three are from Puglia but, alas, none is a Polvanera 17. If the number 17 in the brand name is the vintage, that mekes it 2017, ideal to drink now. Did anthing come of the talk about reducing or abolishing import duty and/or exise tax on imported alcoholic beverages in Thailand to attract more high-spending tourists? At what price does the Polvanera 17 Primitivo currently sell in Thailand? Where can it be bought? -

Calamity of voter fraud found! -- it's the immigrant wife of a Republican Cong. candidate
And now just this week in Michigan, we have the Democrat attorney general filing felony criminal charges against four voters accused of attempted double voting in this year's presidential primary, and against three city clerk staff who allegedly facilitated the alleged fraud -- which a Republican county prosecutor had declined to pursue. 7 people face felony charges in double voting incident in St. Clair Shores October 4, 2024 (CBS DETROIT) - Seven people, including four voters, face felony charges in an alleged double voting incident in Michigan's August 2024 primary election, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Friday morning. The incident involves four St. Clair Shores residents flagged for submitting two ballots in the primary election on Aug. 6. According to Nessel, each person voted by absentee ballot, returned their ballot and then voted in person at their polling location on election day. In three of the four cases, voters signed an affidavit saying they had not received an absentee ballot despite completing and returning one, Nessel said. Election workers informed the voters that their absentee ballots had already been received but were allegedly instructed by assistant clerks to override the system and issue in-person ballots. ... In August, Macomb County Prosecutor [Republican] Peter Lucido declined to authorize charges against the four voters, saying an investigation showed that the "appropriate mechanisms functioned as intended to detect the issue," and that his office "concluded probable cause did not exist to believe that a crime had occurred." (more) https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/dana-nessel-announces-felony-election-law-violations/ Michigan attorney general charges 7 over double voting in Macomb County ... In a statement, Lucido said he respects the Attorney General's "jurisdiction and investigatory resources." "It is not unusual for the Attorney General to charge criminal cases in which a local prosecutor did not," Lucido added. "I expect justice will be served. I have no further comment on this ongoing case." But Christina Hines, the prosecutor's Democratic opponent in the Nov. 5 election, said "it is unacceptable that our elected Prosecutor chose not to even investigate this case" and argued it showed Lucido is unqualified to hold office.

Trump Urges Israel to Strike Iran’s Nuclear Facilities
You mean like the resolution that recognized the State of Israel that neither Hamas nor Hezbollah accept? You do understand why they chant from the River to the Sea, don't you? It is because they do not accept the existence of the state of Israel. Both are pledged to the destruction of Israel. It is impossible to have peace with people who want you dead no matter what. -

IRAN ATTACKS ISRAEL
I am angry after seeing videos of Israelis celebrating the death of the Hezbollah leader the other day. I am angry that Israel thinks it can do whatever it likes without the consequences other countries would have. I'm angry about all the Israeli propaganda and how some think Israelis don't want Netanyahu in power, when he in fact represents the psyche of the Israeli people. He's been Democratically elected for how many years? I'm angry at the Apartheid state in Israel and how they view Palestinians as lesser being, even animals as that senior Politician called them after Oct 7 last year. Israel is killing with impunity and it's obvious what their plan is. -

IRAN ATTACKS ISRAEL
The mighty presence of the USN is present as a deterrent. In case you missed it, the US intercepted some Iranian missiles this week. USS Bulkeley (DDG-84) and USS Cole (DDG-67) fired about a dozen interceptors at Iranian missiles fired at Israel, the Pentagon said last Tuesday. The two destroyers are independently deployed and are in the Eastern Mediterranean. USS Abraham Lincoln CVN-72) is operating in the Gulf of Oman. USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) will be on station in the the Eastern Mediterranean. The sad reality is that aside from the tacit support of the UK and indirect support of France, the USA stands alone in protecting the west from Iranian belligerence. Much of the western world cowers in fear. They may have a different position if Iran shuts down oil transport in the Gulf, and oil refineries in the region. I -

Calamity of voter fraud found! -- it's the immigrant wife of a Republican Cong. candidate
For all the Trump supporters out there in search of imaginary voter fraud, there actually are a few rare cases where the fraud is REAL and PROVEN, such as the case below. And this one did involve an immigrant, if that makes you feel any better: Iowa official’s wife convicted of 52 counts of voter fraud in ballot-stuffing scheme November 22, 2023 SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — The wife of a northwestern Iowa county supervisor was convicted Tuesday of a scheme to stuff the ballot box in her husband’s unsuccessful race for a Republican nomination to run for Congress in 2020. The Sioux City Journal reports that jurors deliberated six hours before finding Kim Taylor guilty of 26 counts of providing false information in registering and voting, three counts of fraudulent registration and 23 counts of fraudulent voting. Prosecutors said Taylor, a Vietnam native, approached numerous voters of Vietnamese heritage with limited English comprehension and filled out and signed election forms and ballots on behalf of them and their English-speaking children. (more) https://apnews.com/article/iowa-ballot-box-stuffing-18432099d65be5e95aa5e5cd83b589e1 Which then earlier this year led to: Republican candidate’s wife sentenced to prison for voter fraud April 3, 2024 An Iowa woman who sought to boost her husband’s unsuccessful congressional bid in 2020 through a voter fraud scheme was sentenced by a federal judge to four months in prison Monday in a rare case of fraudulent voting. Kim Taylor, 50, was convicted by a federal jury in November on 52 counts including fraudulent voting and providing false information in registering and voting. ... Prosecutors said Taylor used the ballots to fraudulently generate votes for husband Jeremy Taylor’s unsuccessful bid in the Republican primary for a seat in Iowa’s 4th Congressional District. The month after his primary loss, he successfully ran for Woodbury County Supervisor and still holds the position. (more) Washington Post https://archive.ph/quAuL And the above drew the following spot-on commentary from MSNBC: The deep ironies in the GOP's war on 'voter fraud' How many Republicans will get caught committing voter fraud before the GOP stops pointing fingers? April 5, 2024 "No matter what former President Donald Trump claims, actual incidents of voter fraud are extremely rare. Those instances that have come to light in the aftermath of the 2020 election are nowhere near widespread enough to swing a presidential election, let alone most down-ballot races. Taylor’s case, one of those rare instances, highlights one supreme irony of the GOP’s obsession with voter fraud: many of the cases of knowing fraud that have been prosecuted since then have had Republicans as the perpetrators. ... Other Trump supporters have been caught trying to vote more than once, including multiple residents at Florida’s retirement community The Villages. Still others have been caught trying to cast votes in the names of their dead spouses or family members, one of whom was initially a right-wing cause célèbre after claiming someone had stolen his dead wife’s absentee ballot. And just last month, a former election official in Milwaukee was found guilty of voter fraud for using her position to get obtain fraudulent absentee ballots and send them to a Republican state lawmaker who’d boosted Trump’s election lies.

IRAN ATTACKS ISRAEL
Are you angry that Israel has managed to defend its people against the missile attacks? Israel has invested in protecting its people and advancing community development. Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas have invested in personal corruption and violence. Yes, many Arabs have died as a result of the war. Perhaps if the Arabs did not locate their munition depots, command and control locations and missile firing sites in large population zones, the casualty count would be lower. Why do you think, Hamas located a munitions depot in a school, or a command center in a hospital basement, or missile firing site in a residential building? There is no such thing as a "civilian" for them. Israeli civilians are targets to be killed or captured. Arab civilians are potential martyrs to be used in a propaganda war. One of the goals is to have as many mass casualty outcomes as possible so that the propaganda can condemn Israel. Perhaps one day you will be as vociferous for the 75,000+ Africans mass murdered in the Darfur by Islamic militias, or maybe even speak out on behalf of the 12 Druze children killed by an intentionally fired Hezbollah missile.- 1
