There is a risque joke in the concept of "virgin train" but I am not up to it right now.

72 virgins?

Risqué jokes?
Watch out you don't land in the 'sexual harassment' soup.

China boots media from Pacific Island leaders meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping


Media who were invited to cover Chinese President Xi Jinping's meeting with Pacific leaders have been denied entry by Chinese officials.

As part of Mr Xi's first state visit to Papua New Guinea, he hosted a working dinner with the leaders of eight Pacific Island nations that support the "One China" policy: PNG, Cook Islands, Fiji, the Federated States of Micronesia, Niue, Samoa, Tonga and Vanuatu.

The meeting and the President's visit come at a time when the strategic importance of the Pacific is growing, and multiple countries — including China and Australia — are vying for influence in the region.

PNG media described treatment as a 'slap in the face'

Some local media described the reaction as a "slap in the face".
"It's quite disappointing because as Pacific Islanders, for a meeting as big as this, and PNG being the host country, we were all looking forward to covering this," said Helen Tarawa Rei, a senior reporter with PNG's The National newspaper.

"To be told that we're not allowed is undermining our press freedom, we have press freedom in this country."

An ABC camera operator who was filming the press being rejected was then threatened by a local security officer.

"We were quite surprised because we want to hear a lot of the things that are happening there with the Pacific Islander leaders, our Prime Minister and the Chinese President, and unfortunately we weren't allowed and we're just wondering why," Tarawa Rei said.

Helen must be new to the "China" game.

Headline topic on my no 1 radio station today..."The 'Me Too' group ...all it takes now to ruin a man's life is for a woman to make an allegation, whether or not it's factual".
"It's one way traffic at the moment, but that might change in the future".

Indeed it might.
Men won't be putting up with this tripe forever.

Saved by a selfie: Texas man, 21, facing 99 years for attacking his ex-girlfriend and slashing an X in her chest is CLEARED by a photo which proved his innocence

A Texas man facing a 99-year prison sentence has been cleared of all wrongdoing thanks to a selfie.

Cristopher Precopia, 21, was arrested on the morning of September 21, 2017 and accused of breaking into his ex-girlfriend's Temple home, attacking her and carving an X into her chest with a box cutter.

The unnamed ex, whom he dated in high school several years earlier, claimed the attack happened the day prior, but Precopia knew he was out of town with his family at the time.

Oh dear.
Lucky he was with his family, a selfie was taken and time and dated, eh?
99 years he could've been rotting in prison.

You can probably guess what my next statement/question was going to be.

A virgin train has a well-guarded caboose.

What is a "documented complaint"?

We don't know.  And of course kiidcarter8 didn't quote the part that comes just after...

Herrell told Fox News on Saturday there were “over 100 documented complaints” about voting irregularities. She didn’t provide evidence and her campaign has not returned repeated voicemails, text messages and emails from The Associated Press seeking details about her accusations.

...don't know why he left that out.

A clear case of poster fraud.

You dont want evidence that there were 100 complaints

No, I want you to include the fact that there was no evidence that such complaints existed outside of Herrell's say so.

Kind of like the lack of evidence of fraud which is not the same thing as complaints.

But don't let those Democrats misuse their subpoena power when they have the majority, right Mitch?!

6 years later, the GOP is still trying to get to the bottom of the Clinton email "scandal," while not investigating dead soldiers, dead Puerto Ricans, white nationalist terrorism, or President Trump and his Cabinet.

Clever of everyone to wait and do Josh's new poll AFTER the winner was declared in AZ.

I think I know who one of the 2 wiseguys might be.

https://crosscut.com/2018/11/asylum-seeker-alive-and-hospitalized-says-ice

I'd read the report that said he had died.

Now I read that ICE says he's alive but hospitalized. Then there's this:

“An ICE detainee was transported to the hospital on the evening of Nov. 15. He is currently receiving medical treatment. The medical condition he is being treated for is not a result of a hunger strike. Due to privacy concerns, I am unable to comment further.”

I can't imagine anything good is happening, especially after "...about 20 officers from the detention center, from GEO or ICE, came to Amar’s room because he was dead. I saw his body when they took it out of the room.”

But Boyd...

I didn't say a word about the election! That's not the question at issue.
