Never quite understood what the condition of Arbery s  pedicure had to do with whether the man who shot him was guilty of murder.  I suspect the jury was also baffled.   And unimpressed by the atrocious comments of the defense.

It was an attempt to dehumanize Arbery in the eyes of the jury and reinforce the Fear of the Dangerous Black Man.

Animalistic runaway slave...

Ten years ago that defense might have worked out in favor of the defendants.

But this is the Georgia that not only elected two Democratic Senators it elected a Jewish man and a Black man.

The eleven white people on that jury believed what they saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears.

The core issue to me of this report is not the Saudi effort, but that this agreement got signed - a deal that likely would not have been possible without the Trump administration negotiated peace between Israel and the UAE.

As big a deal as that is the Morocco-Israel security agreement, the first such between Israel and an Arab country!

Climate models don't reflect the earlier warming start that a new study believes happened.

A professional Broadway actor who has been performing as Judas in "Jesus Christ Superstar" has been arrested for invading the US Capitol building on January 6 with his fellow Oath Keepers.

What you have done
Will be the saving of Israel
You'll be remembered forever
For this
And not only that
You've been paid for your efforts
Pretty good wages
For one little kiss



Judas. I guess he was just really getting into his character!
