HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED???

 So I love Old Time Radio showws - Fibber McGee & Molly .... Abbot and Costello .... Lone Ranger .... Fort Laramie .... X minus one (X-1) .... Dimention X .... to name a few.

But it's the last one I mentioned which caught my attention today.

The year was 1950, when a broadcast went out which at the time sounded possible .... and now makes me go - WTHeck????

"Mars is Heaven" .... it was a half-hour program which looks at how Americans (ALWAYS seemed to be Americans) travel to MARS ....

The unusual part of this episode is the give an exact year when it takes place ....

1987

So - in 1950, they had such faith in America's progress in the Space Program to think we would actually make it to Mars?  Or was i all written as a "weapon" of the Cold War, trying to fool Russia into thinking we were farther along than we were?

Or - and in my mind, much more likely - SOMETHING happened which changed the way America approached the Space program!!!

Makes you go HMMMM, doesn't it???

It does me

BETTING YOU'RE GOING TO BE GLAD HE'S NOT THE VP NOW!

 Oh my goodness!  came back from the dentist yesterday and Garage Logic was talking about this .... I thought, "no that couldn't possibly be right" but then after the whole Rep Thompson incident, I could see where it could happen .... so I did some searching on YouTube .... and found this ....

Yeah - so - I guessd it's like I've always said .... the whole border issue isn't JUST the Southern border .... and it isn't just a single race .... the system is busted and NEEDS to be fixed ....

BIG TIM!!!!!!

THIS ALWAYS MAKES ME LAUGH = SMALL TOWNS/COUNTIES

 Small Towns, or in this case a smaller county, are nice enough to take the time to help .... I love living in a small town ... but, no, this didn't happen up here ....

The officer would have been better to ask "If you have 5 cookies, and cookie Monster ate 5 cookies, how many would you have?"

HAPY 4TH OF JULY!

Not my clip but I thought I'd share

P. DIDDY TRAIL , VERDICT

  Thee\\\\\\re will be a second part to his which will deal with the actual sentencing - this is JUST for the VERDICT.

And .... it'sd sad - I will simply post a video of it ....

Hey - New Yorkers!! Transporting someone across STATE LINES for Prostitution .... that's also called the Mann Act, and it's highly ILLEGAL.

and the rest? Well, let's hop

e Diddy has got it throug his head now that he can't treat people this way.

Money exchanged hands to try to keep this all hushed up .... Naw .... I don't agree one bit ....

THE GUILTY PLEA FROM IDAHO

 Okay .... here's a clip of the GUILTY PLEA in the MURDER of 4 students in Idaho .... and as much as I would like to remember their names - I am just too old too do so, I guess.

I do know the deceased male was a triplet .... 

I also know that by the sounds of it, none of the parents of the students had been made aware of the plea deal until AFTER it had been agreed to by both sides ....

In fact, one of them (I believe the father of the guy) was really miffed by it all!

But .... here is the video of where the guy makes his pleas.

(Why do SOME of the murder charges specify "human being" and others do not?)

TRIAL: P DIDDY COMBS

 I have been avoiding this thing like the plague

I have definate feelings over it .... but I'm trying my best to keep it all under control until the verdict comes back 

However, yesterday (June 30th) it wen to the jury for deliberations .... and they have ALREADY sent a note back to the judge ...

It seems that - even having removed at least one juror already, and replacing them with one of the alteernatives - there is a juror who 
        " ... may not be able to follow the judges instructions"

I wonder which one ... to be a juror is fairly "simple" on the foreground at leas.

Don't talk about the case outside of the courtroom with anyone else .... don't look at any coverage of the trial in media of any sort .... donn't ake any bribes dealing with the case ....

I'm wondering what happened???

Welll, the judge wasn't having it - he told them to get back to work.

Still going to keep my opinions to myself at this point.

the Jury make up??

8 men, 4 women
All with post-high school degrees

I do not recall any ethnicity break dwons.

PLEA DEAL REA?IandCHED: IDAHO MURDERS OF STUDENTS

 OMG!!!!  So it seems that Colburger (I think that's his name) has agreed to a plea deal which will spare him from the death penalty!!!!

And the families of the students who were murdered are pissed to no end - and who could blame them???

This guy has been fighting for well over a year - for his release, and "innocense", but suddenly he says he's GUILTY?????

I'm wondering what he's up to .... I just cannot see him simply laying down his guard at this point.

Then there's the question about who is paying for his LAWYER???

If the guy is a Public Defender - then the people of the state are on the hook for this guys expenses ....

If he is a private Lawyer, then I'm thinking his family is on the hook - which may be the lesser of the 2 evils ... but how would you like to be the parent of this guy?

As well as having to pay for a lawyer, who may have been "fooled" like everybody else - but more likely, he was caught in "lawyer-client privilege" and wasn't allowed to say anything ... out loud. 

They were killed in 2022 .... and he was arrested in 2023, I thtink ...

Brian Colburger was his name.  He was a student at the U of Idaho studying "Criminal Studies" .... ewww ... wrong thing for his guy to study ... 

But - so his parent (Dad & Brother, no idea where his mom is) will likel have to pay back any student loans this guy took out AND also pay for the lawyer fees.

FNC is saying the plea deal "guarentees he will spend the rest of his life in jail" ... yeah .... tell that to the murderer who escaped in New Orleans ...there is sill one of those on the loose, yet.

I have a feeling this isn't over yet ... even with the plea deal - I have a feeling he has something else up  his sleeve

MORE WILDFIRE NEWS FROM ANOTHER STATION

 Okay - this is straight from Fox News Channel, I am going to type it up as they say it ...

They gave credit for the following statement to anoher Firefighter (where ABC gave quotes from a police officer):
" We need Law Enforcement immediately ... We've got another Couer d'Alene firefighter down. ... we've got 2 unresponsive battalion chiefs, gunshot wounds, multiple gunshot wounds, 2 Couer d'Alene firefighters are down ... I'm pinned down ... It's clear to me that this fire was set intentionally to draw us in."

According to FNC, after several hours, they found a body of a man .... a weapon beside him .... and it was at this time the sheriff declare there was no longer a hreat.

He was about 20 years old ... and we know a name.

I am not going to print the name until we know for sure, that he was tthe only operson involved.

Still, makes you wonder why he did this - doesn't it?

WILDFIRE MASSACRE ....

 That actually was not the original title, but it is much more to the point

Have you heard about this in Idaho?????

OMG - so last night before I went to bed, I checked YouTube like I usually do for any "live feed" that might interest me, or put me to sleep, whichever I need more of ..

And on AgendaFree (the channel name) I found a clip about some shooting that occured in Idaho - well, I didn't listen too well and though it had to do with the dude on trial for the students killing up there, he's just going to court now .... so I figured, I'd just check back today ....

and totally forgot about it until I stared watching my news programs - and it's all over the HEADLINES!!!!

Just before 1:30pm PT yesterday, the firefighters went to a scene of a wildfire ....

Shortly afterwards a police officer called in an active shooter zone ...

The officer continured:
"They're shot...
Everybody's shot up here.
Law enforcement, code 3, now, up here."

2 Firefighters were killed, a third one wounded.

The officer continued:
"I'm pinned down behind bittallion 1's rig.  It's clear tto me that this fire was set intenttionally to draw us in."

The shooter was in the hills ABOVE them.

300 officers/first responders from Idaho & Washington state showed up .... 

The arriving officers exchanged fire with the shooter - having used his cell phone data to track him .... it said he hadn't moved from the spot since 3:15pm .... when they tracked down the location, they found him dead with a "weapon nearby"

The firefighters then had to collect the bodies - including the shooter - and move them to the coroner's office .... that had to be grissly .... 

My understanding is that the shooter has been identified, but I don't want to give him any spotlight this way ....

I'm wondering what this guys grief was about ... firefighters don't have political leanings while working - they don't turn you away because you are of the wrong party - they do heir jobs.

I've heard something about there being some issue with a past fire up there, just a few miles away .... but that wa several years ago.  and again - I don't think they were he ones who set thatt fire back them.

This will be one to keep an eye on.
