Definitely an interesting year. Sure is disappointing to see more law enforcement stuff this year from Wayne Co and other counties and not Lawrence County. A lot of ball dropping for LC law enforcement this year. Interesting that still haven’t heard any more about the Peach Orchard shooting or the botched death investigation out in Webbville. Can only hope things will turn back around for LC one of theses days. Need attention focused on enforcing the laws and protecting citizens.

What’s up with jamesgop’s comment 👆 and the link titled “p**** massage” at the end of it? Very odd.
“Our best days are ahead of us. And I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been doing this a long time, folks. Our best days are ahead of us. Are not behind us. I’ve long said. I mean, this. I have never, ever, ever been more optimistic about America’s prospects. And am today. Never. Never. I’ve traveled over 140 countries around the world. I was the paraphrase the phrase in my old neighborhood. The rest of the countries the world is not a patch in our jeans. If we do what we want to do, we need to do. ”
Joe Biden, in KY, January 4, 2023
Blundering Biden January 5, 2023
“During a major White House speech Thursday announcing expanded border measures, President Biden fumbled while discussing the replacement of Title 42, a public health law that has been used to deter migrants at the border.
The speech came days before the president’s first-ever visit to the southern border next week as his administration struggles to deal with a historic surge in migrants. Asked why he’s visiting now when Republicans have been calling on him to visit since the start of his presidency, Biden shot back that Republicans “haven’t been serious about this at all.” (SERIOUSLY?)
The president then predicted that Title 42 would be gone by the end of the year.
“Title 42 is going to go away before the end of the year, in terms of the Supreme Court. My prediction. And then we’re going to have to use Title 9,” Biden said before quickly correcting himself to “Title 8.
“Eight, right? Am I right? Yeah, Title Eight. Eight-nine,” Biden said, appearing flustered.
At another point in the speech, Biden mispronounced U.S. Customs and Border Protection as “Customs and Border Patrol” while discussing fentanyl seizures.”
And he adds another 223,000 jobs for the month of December unemployment rate falls to 3.5%
With these numbers he can stumble all he wants.
In the mean time the Party of Dumb Dumbs can’t even elect a Speaker
“White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday blamed the previous administration for the immigration crisis facing the Biden administration, accusing Republicans of making the problem worse.”
Yeah. Everyone in America believes that. Kamala has been all over getting things done at the border. Lol!
