54 years ago today, Democrat Senator Ted Kennedy drove off a bridge while drunk in Chappaquiddick Island, Massachusetts and left his campaign worker Mary Jo Kopechne to drown in the car.
He fled the scene, went to bed, and didn't report it to police until the next morning.
The only punishment Kennedy received was a two month suspended jail sentence for fleeing the scene of an accident and he went on to serve in the senate until the day he died.
Landed. Safe and well. I was untouched and unharmed. Battery is nearly dead. Will update when I reach my secondary destination.
Thanks for the immense pressure and support🙏🏿

Indictment number 3 of @realDonaldTrump ahead of 2024 elections and the law of unintended consequences:
In ancient Rome, a group of men loyal to the Republic feared that Julius Caesar was going to make his dictatorship permanent and establish a monarchy. In 44 BC. they decided to assassinate him, thereby restoring the Republic.
In the ensuing chaos, and power vacuum, Caesar's great nephew Octavius quickly rose to the top, assumed power, and permanently ended the Republic by establishing a de facto monarchy. After Caesar's death, it came out that he had never intended to create a monarchical system. The conspirators brought about precisely what they had tried to stop.
In 19th century India under British colonial rule, authorities decided there were too many venomous cobras in the streets of Delhi, making life uncomfortable for the British residents and their families. To solve this, they offered a reward for every dead cobra residents would bring in. Soon, enterprising locals began to breed cobras in order to make a living from the bounty. The government caught on to this and canceled the program.
The breeders, resentful of the rulers and angered by their actions, decided to release their cobras back on the streets, thereby tripling the population from before the government program.
Other notorious examples would include the 18th amendment establishing prohibition in the United States in 1920, which was designed to stop the spread of alcoholism but only ended up increasing alcohol consumption by a substantial amount, and the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese in 1941, designed to decimate the US. Naval force in one blow and bring America to its knees. Instead, it shook the American public out of its deep isolationism, ensuring the total mobilization of the country's superior manpower and resources to not only defeat the Japanese, but also to obliterate its military for good. The very success of the attack guaranteed the opposite of the intended result, Robert Greene writes in spectacular book, "the Laws of Human Nature."

If President Trump is going to be indicted for his speeches before January 6th, then when is Senator @BernieSanders going to be indicted for his speeches that led to the attempted murder of Steve Scalise and other Republicans?
@FinPlanKaluAja1 Oga Kalu, don’t take the bait and respond to that man
He writes stuff like that to draw attention to himself and trend on social media.
🚨FBI whistleblower testifies under oath that FBI won’t allow 11,000+ hours of J6 footage to be released b/c it would expose undercover agents committing crimes inside Capitol
This is why they’re indicting President Trump - to cover up their J6 setup
🚨BREAKING: TRUMP WARNS OF IMMINENT ARREST AND INDICTMENT
Donald Trump released a statement about a target letter received from Special Council Jack Smith in the January 6 Investigation, telling him he has four days to report to the Grand Jury.
Trump added this "almost always means an Arrest and Indictment."
Target letters are typically given to subjects in a criminal investigation to put them on notice that they are facing the prospect of indictment.
Leaked reports from prosecutors suggested that there were witnesses who gave information about efforts to put forward false slates to support Trump’s claims of false electors.
House Speaker McCarthy echoed Trump's statement about his popularity in the Polls and how, as a result, Biden and the Democrats have "weaponized government to go after their number one opponent."
From the Democrats’ side, NY Rep Goldman responded by saying that "the special counsel has clearly done an incredibly exhaustive investigation" and he added that he expects "Trump to be indicted in the near future"
We will keep you informed in the comments of any developments in this breaking story
Where do you stand on this issue: WITCH HUNT OR JUSTICE?
“I will remove fuel subsidy and give something equivalent back. If I can't give back no need to remove it.
People fear the removal not because it is bad but because they don't see the gains of Subsidy removal.”
