The state of South Carolina still uses the Electric Chair for capital
punishment. They now have a cost-saving remedy concerning the
criminal's last meal.

The convicted prisoner gets a Red Baron frozen pizza as he sits
down for his last meal in the electric chair. Obviously, the frozen
pizza heats up fast as the convict is electrically warmed up himself.

Bottom Line: It is cheaper to serve a frozen pizza on the electric
chair instead of a full steak dinner in the prisoner's cell.

Anyone cooking for NYE?

The true story behind America's biggest military surrender is now told.

President Biden was so mentally fatigued that he skipped out on a phone call from the chair of the powerful House Armed Services Committee ahead of the US’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to a report.

Biden, the oldest president in US history, was incredibly hard to reach — even for lawmakers in his own party — as his aides attempted to keep Biden’s evident mental and physical decline under tight wraps, a bombshell report from the Wall Street Journal revealed.

That inaccessibility proved to be immensely consequential for one of the administration’s biggest snafus that would mar the remainder of Biden’s presidency.

Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), chair of the House Armed Services Committee, had tried to contact the president in 2021 to share his concerns about the planned withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Smith said he was worried about the administration’s optimistic comments about pulling out from Afghanistan — which, after working extensively on the issue, the congressman believed would be significantly more difficult than White House officials were letting on and wanted to share his findings.

“I was begging them to set expectations low,” Smith told the Journal — but he couldn’t get the commander-in-chief on the phone.

Thirteen US service members and more than 170 Afghans were killed in the chaotic evacuation in August 2021, which ended the longest conflict in US history and left the Taliban victorious and in charge.

The US also abandoned some $7 billion in weapons and other military equipment.

In the aftermath, Smith commented to the Washington Post that Biden’s administration lacked a “clear-eyed view” of the toppled US-backed government’s durability.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken, enraged over Smith’s remarks, called the congressman to chew his ear— but Smith ultimately ended up giving it back to Blinken, according to the Wall Street Journal. Blinken would later accept responsibility for the Afghanistan catastrophe.

Soon afterward, Smith also received an apologetic call from Biden — the only call Biden made to Smith in his four years in the White House.

“The Biden White House was more insulated than most,” Smith said. “I spoke with Barack Obama on a number of occasions when he was president and I wasn’t even chairman of the committee.”

Biden would alter or cancel scheduled meetings depending on whether he appeared up to the task beginning almost as soon as he was in office, the Journal reported.

A national security official told an aide in the spring of 2021 that the president “has good days and bad days, and today was a bad day so we’re going to address this tomorrow.”

Meetings were often scheduled for later in the day — a fact first revealed after Biden’s awful debate performance against former President Donald Trump, when staff admitted the then-Democratic nominee had difficulty functioning outside a six-hour window that closed around 4 p.m. daily.

The Afghanistan blunder would be a glaring stain on Biden’s record for the remainder of his tenure and was a major talking point for his now-successor, President-elect Trump, on the campaign trail.

A former D.C. police lieutenant was found guilty Monday on charges that he improperly warned Proud Boys leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio of his pending arrest two days before the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, then lied about it to investigators.

Shane Lamond, a 24-year department veteran, aided the far-right Proud Boys group when he leaked word to Tarrio that a warrant had been signed for his arrest for burning a Black Lives Matter flag stolen from a historic African American church during a pro-Trump rally weeks earlier, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said after a week-long bench trial.

“The defendant was not using Tarrio as a source; it was the other way around,” Jackson said Monday in finding the former officer guilty on all counts. “He knew then and he knows now that it was wrong.”
Lamond, 48, of Stafford, Virginia, headed D.C. police’s intelligence unit at the time. He pleaded not guilty to one count of obstruction of justice and three counts of making false statements.

Due to his penchant for not understanding how things get done, Trump may find sucessfuly executing his agenda challenging.


President-elect Donald Trump's advisers have been hoping county sheriffs in border states will assist with the incoming administration's mass deportation campaign. But several sheriffs are already publicly promising to not lift a finger.

According to a Tuesday report in WIRED magazine, Trump's top immigration advisors like Tom Homan and Stephen Miller have been having conversations with several far-right sheriffs who have expressed an interest in helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement remove immigrants from the United States.

But that effort is unlikely to pick up traction, both for legal reasons and because other sheriffs have said they already have their hands full and don't want to take on more work.

Currently, ICE's 287(g) program allows for state and local law enforcement to collaborate with ICE in its efforts "to protect the homeland through the arrest and removal of noncitizens."

However, this does not include sheriffs themselves rounding up and detaining undocumented immigrants. Additionally, no federal funding has been appropriated to any sheriffs' offices that help ICE, meaning just 125 out of 3,081 sheriff's offices in the U.S. have signed up.

And Yuma County, Arizona Sheriff Leon Wilmot told WIRED that the Supreme Court has already established that enforcing immigration law is outside the jurisdiction of local police departments and sheriffs' offices.

"[T]hat's not our realm of responsibility," Wilmot said. "If we wanted to do immigration law, we would go work for Border Patrol."
