B402, Japan has a history of being xenophobic. A reputation of being xenophobic. The only thing Biden could be criticized for in his comments is that Japan has recently increased it's skilled immigrant intake which he could have mentioned. If you are saying Biden should have been more careful, that is not a reason to vote for Trump or one of the others instead.
Only you know why you are being so critical of Biden and not of Trump.
Fox’s migrants-displaced-vets source was charged with fraud. The network hasn’t mentioned it.
WRITTEN BY MATT GERTZ
PUBLISHED 05/06/24 2:25 PM EDT
After Fox News promoted a hoax about homeless veterans being “evicted” from New York hotels to house migrants last year, some of the network’s anchors said they would provide viewers more information “as we get it.” That promise was apparently disingenuous: Fox has yet to report that the originator of the bogus story now faces federal fraud charges.
On Wednesday, federal prosecutors charged Sharon Toney-Finch, an Army veteran whose Yerik Israel Toney Foundation claims to “help homeless and low-income military service veterans in need of living assistance,” with multiple counts of fraud. They alleged that she raised funds for the group by falsely claiming to have received a Purple Heart after surviving a terrorist attack and spent the group’s money on personal expenses. They also alleged she received “hundreds of thousands of dollars in disability benefits” by falsifying her military discharge paperwork to match her story.
Toney-Fitch drew notoriety as the source for a May 12, 2023, New York Post report in which she alleged that nearly two dozen homeless veterans her organization had been helping were kicked out hotels in upstate New York to make room for migrants.
The story became a cause celebre for right-wing commentators seeking to demonize migrants and attack Democratic politicians. But Toney-Smith’s tale collapsed within days, as local news outlets reported that she had fabricated her story and the homeless veterans had never existed.
Fox, which relentlessly portrays migrants as dangerous criminals conducting an “invasion” of the United States, picked up Toney-Fitch’s hoax the day after the Post published its initial story. Fox News and Fox Business gave the story, which Fox claimed to have “confirmed,” more than an hour of credulous coverage over six days.
“This is pretty infuriating, homeless vets who served our great country, they’re being put out on the street and replaced by illegal immigrants,” prime-time star Sean Hannity alleged in one such segment.
But as the story unraveled, Fox personalities began backtracking and admitting they had been duped. On May 24, 2023, several Fox anchors read an on-air statement which said in part, “We've since learned that veterans advocates misled local officials, and it now turns out those eviction claims were false. We want to update you on this story, make sure the record was set straight, and we’ll get more to you as we get it.”
Apparently the “veterans advocate” behind the story facing criminal charges after allegedly faking a Purple Heart and defrauding the government of hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits wasn’t worth mentioning.

hap0206, You were shown clearly yesterday that rape is defined in many places as penetration
of the vagina by any object, yet you still say Carroll "obviously lied about the rape".
What is the evidence that you can draw the conclusion that she obviously lied?
If Trump shot someone on 5th Ave, it was on video and there were 10 witnesses, would you
still say the video could be doctored, and the witnesses could all have been paid to lie?
hap0206, Why do you label firm facts, like Trump saying he would be a dictator for a day, as fake news??
He is of the species known as a Least Weasel, of course.

Danny Hakim and Richard Fausset report on state elections prosecutions.
April 26, 2024
Fifty-three people who tried to keep former President Donald J. Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election have now been criminally charged.
The indictments have been brought in four swing states that will be crucial to the upcoming election, most recently on Wednesday in Arizona, where Kris Mayes, the Democratic attorney general, said that she could “not allow American democracy to be undermined.” The message she and other prosecutors are sending represents a warning as Mr. Trump and his supporters continue to spread election conspiracy theories ahead of another presidential contest: that disrupting elections can bear a heavy legal cost.
Mr. Trump’s own legal complications are also growing. On Wednesday, he was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in election interference investigations in both Arizona and Michigan. He has already been charged in Georgia while facing two federal prosecutions and a criminal trial in Manhattan related to hush money payments made to a porn star.
What’s more, Mr. Trump’s top legal strategist, Boris Epshteyn, was indicted in Arizona on Wednesday.
There remains a possibility that Mr. Trump’s aides and allies will be put on trial for manipulating an election on his behalf, while he is not. If he is re-elected president in November, the federal courts, or even Congress, could shield him from having to face trial in the Georgia election interference case, at least while he is in office, on the grounds that a president sitting in an Atlanta courtroom for weeks or months would be unable to carry out his constitutional duties.
He could also use his executive powers to halt the two federal cases against him.
“I assume, should these constitutional concerns about putting Trump on trial while president play out, there would be efforts to sever the other defendants, and no reason for the trials as to those defendants not to proceed,” said Daniel Richman, a former federal prosecutor and a law professor at Columbia University.

Democrats are leading all of the state prosecutions, though they have moved slowly. None of the cases are likely to come to trial before the election, a reality that has frustrated many on the left. While Fani T. Willis, the district attorney in Fulton County, Ga., has been investigating since early 2021, her racketeering case has been slowed by its scope and complexity, and by efforts to disqualify her.
Ms. Willis brought charges last August against Mr. Trump and 18 of his allies and advisers, laying out a number of ways she said they had conspired to overturn the former president’s 2020 election loss in the state.
Cases in Michigan and Nevada have focused solely on the Republicans whom the Trump campaign deployed as fake electors in those states. Having slates of people claiming to be electors for Mr. Trump was an integral part of the effort to keep him in office after his loss at the polls in 2020.
Ms. Mayes charged all 11 people who served as fake Arizona electors, and seven Trump advisers. Four of those advisers now face charges in both Georgia and Arizona: Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s former personal lawyer; Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff; Mike Roman, a former Trump campaign operative who played a leading role in the fake electors scheme; and John Eastman, a legal architect of the elector plan.
Jenna Ellis, a former Trump lawyer who had been one of his staunchest defenders, was also charged in both states; she pleaded guilty to a felony last year in Georgia. During a tearful court appearance .. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/24/us/jenna-ellis-guilty-trump-georgia.html .. in Atlanta, she said, “If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump.”
[Insert: Ouch. Where had you been all the time before, Jenna.]
Republican leaders, however, have been defiant in the face of the prosecutions. “We will not be deterred by this overreach,” the Arizona G.O.P. said in a statement Wednesday after a grand jury had handed up the charges, echoing the stances of leaders in other states.
[Overreach. What should law abiding Americans, including those working in the legal system do other
than prosecute those who so obviously acted in breach of the laws of the land. Where is the overreach?]
Josh McKoon, chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, said in an interview that “I don’t think that this is going to discourage the base of the Republican Party from engaging in politics,” adding, “I think what it actually does is it heightens, to an entirely new level, the importance of winning the 2024 election.”
But a number of those who have been indicted are lawyers, which may give pause to lawyers advising the current Trump campaign.
“There will be more caution on the part of the lawyers,” said Manny Arora, who represents Kenneth Chesebro, another legal architect of the fake elector plot. Mr. Chesebro, who pleaded guilty to a felony in Georgia, has emerged as a key witness in all of the state inquiries, including one in Wisconsin, which has not yet led to charges.
Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff, faces election interference charges in Georgia and Arizona. Al Drago for The New York Times
“While we all agree that there’s no chance in the world the cases will be resolved prior to the election,” Mr. Arora said, “it would be nice to have the cases resolved so we can have some clear guidance as to what does and what doesn’t cross the line.”
No evidence has emerged to support Mr. Trump’s stolen election claims. The defense teams in the state election cases are generally not challenging the evidence prosecutors have put forth, instead making arguments on First Amendment or procedural grounds.
If nothing else, the cases have created divisions among the many defendants.
Some have renounced what took place after the 2020 election; others, including
state-level party leaders who acted as Trump electors, have dug in.
Some of the fake electors were local party activists, like James Renner, a Michigan state trooper; charges against him were dropped after he reached a cooperation agreement last year. He expressed regret .. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/27/us/michigan-trump-fake-elector.html .. at what had taken place, telling state investigators that he “felt that I had been walked into a situation that I shouldn’t have ever been involved in.”
Nick Somberg, a Republican congressional candidate in Michigan, is representing Meshawn Maddock, a former co-chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party, who is among those charged. In a social media post that recently surfaced, Mr. Somberg referred to Mr. Renner as the state’s “star snitch.”
That led Kristen D. Simmons, the judge presiding over pretrial hearings in Michigan, to issue a warning this week, saying she did not want “to be taking time away from my judicial duties to address comments made on Facebook posts.”
She added, “It’s juvenile, and it’s ridiculous.”
Mr. Somberg defended his comments in an interview and said he worried about the chilling effects of the case. “Are people going to be so outspoken, seeing what happened to these Republicans?” he said.
But he added, “I don’t think the election was stolen.”
[Assholes like Somberg are struggling to have it both ways. Rather than
condemn their fellow Republicans as lawbreakers they duck and weave. ]

A two footed weasel. Most weasels i'd guess would have more reason to hold their heads high.
Trump is just a weasel.
Yep. Would be good if justice had faster feet, though guess the pace is slow largely
because of the built-in safeguards protecting the integrity of the system.
That said, the stacked SCOTUS does place a stain on the basic integrity of it all.
Like most of America, just tired of Trump's latest bullshit.

Updated: Judge warns Trump of potential jail time for violating gag order
By Jack Queen, Luc Cohen and Andy Sullivan
May 7, 20246:50 AM GMT+10Updated 14 min ago
VIDEO
NEW YORK, May 6 (Reuters) - The judge in Donald Trump's criminal trial fined him $1,000 and held him in contempt of court for a 10th time on Monday for violating a gag order and warned that further violations could land the former president in jail.
Justice Juan Merchan said the nine $1,000 fines he had imposed previously did not seem to be deterring the wealthy business mogul from violating the order, which bars him from speaking publicly about the jurors and witnesses in the first criminal trial of a former U.S. president.
[...]
Another former Trump employee, Deborah Tarasoff, walked the jury through the 34 invoices, ledger entries and checks stemming from the payments to Cohen, which were made on a monthly basis after Trump won the election. Each represents one of the 34 counts in the indictment against Trump.
Most of the checks were signed by Trump personally, and prosecutors highlighted his tall, looping signature in thick ink for the jury.
Prosecutors say the payment to Daniels corrupted the 2016 election by keeping the news from voters, at a time when Trump's treatment of women was a central issue in his campaign against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
They say the altered business records covered up election-law and tax-law violations that elevate the 34 counts Trump faces from misdemeanors to felonies punishable by up to four years in prison.
If found guilty, Trump could face up to four years in prison, though defendants typically face fines and probation.
The main players in the case have yet to testify, including Cohen and Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.
The case features sordid allegations of adultery and secret payoffs, but it is widely seen as less consequential than three other criminal prosecutions Trump faces. It is the only one certain to go to trial before the Nov. 5 presidential election.
The other cases charge him with trying to overturn his 2020 presidential defeat and mishandling classified documents after leaving office. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all three.

Trump suggests he'll keep speaking out despite gag order warning
Katherine Doyle and Rebecca Shabad
In remarks outside the courtroom, Trump indicated that he would continue to speak out despite Judge Merchan's warning today about the gag order.
"Frankly, our Constitution is far more important than jail. ... I’ll do that choice any day," Trump said.

Prosecutor estimates DA's office has about 2 weeks left for its side
Adam Reiss and Rebecca Shabad
Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass estimated that the DA's office needs about two more weeks for its side of the trial.
That would mean the prosecution would conclude on May 21. The court is not planning to meet on the 22nd or 24th — raising the potential that the trial stretches beyond the Memorial Day weekend.

Lawyers argue over whether DA's office has made all evidence available to the defense
Jillian Frankel and Rebecca Shabad
Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass said that Trump's defense team has said several times that the DA's office hasn't handed over all of the evidence. Steinglass indicated that they have presented the evidence to them for seven months and handed all of it over by March 18.
“These exhibits have been designated for a very long time …” he said. “I don’t like the impression being left that we are somehow sandbagging the defense.”

I've seen a couple shows on the island and enjoyed them.. Never knew about the fire. LOL I remember Meigs Field being a disaster and always just thought it was a spot for the uber wealthy to park their little toy planes before they boarded their yachts.
It would serve them well to plop a new stadium there and reclaim all the land around solider field but as we know a lot of that is just a couple century old garbage dump so there would really have to be some good engineers involved.
It might be too late in the process to change course now. All that planning is not cheap and someone has to pay for it. I still think Arlington Heights really screwed the pooch and Pritzger has already said that the state will not pick up the tab either.
Probably mumbled under his breath something about getting a real football team too. Same thing with the White Sox.
I said a few years ago when we were working in the old post office that the developers there had thousands of pages of plans to build south down the river on the vacant and somewhat occupied land there. I haven't kept up with it but I don't think they have broken any ground since. The pandemic probably stopped them from their high rise fascination.
He said a positive match of Trump’s DNA to that on the dress would prove only that there had been an encounter between Trump and Carroll on a day when she wore the dress, but would not prove or disprove that a rape occurred and might prove entirely inconclusive.
But trump said he never met Carroll in his life. How could there have been an encounter if he had never met her? An innocent man would have given his DNA.
Transgender Soldiers Are Equal to the Task. We Have Earned the Right to Serve Our Country.
"Brain Sex Differences Related to Gender Identity Development: Genes or Hormones?"
Brock Stone,
Petty Officer First Class
November 8, 2017
This article is an expression of my personal opinion as a private citizen, and in no way reflects
that of the United States Navy, the government, or affiliated agencies and organizations.
My name is Brock Stone. I am a Petty Officer First Class in the United States Navy, and I have been serving for 11 years. I’ve set foot in nine different countries, deployed to Afghanistan, and worked alongside some of the most amazing and diverse people our country has to offer. I also happen to be a transgender man.
I decided to join the Navy in 2005, inspired by my father’s service and that of many other family members and friends. Right away, I had my work cut out for me, as I had to work hard for several months to fit the physical fitness standards the Navy required. I was finally able to join in 2006 at the age of 23. It was an intimidating step into my future, but I had decided well before the day I was sworn in that I was going to serve for at least 20 years.
On my in-processing day, I recall very vividly signing a piece of paper acknowledging the “don’t ask, don’t tell” (DADT) policy: a rule that stated the military agreed to not ask about my sexual orientation, but that I was not to be involved in any “homosexual behavior.” I considered myself bisexual at the time, so I rationalized to myself that I was still left with some dating options, and signed on the line. My gender identity, I’d already buried under a pile of denial in college.
That denial didn’t last long, however. A few years into my service, and I was struggling with a lot of frustration and anger, and even after I stopped denying my gender identity I still had to stay closeted in public. Even when DADT was repealed, trans people were left behind. I turned to cosplay and geek culture to escape a little, but I often wished I didn’t have to wear my real self as a costume. The one bright spot was my wife, whom I met at a convention in 2015, and who immediately accepted me for who I was. Thanks to the DADT repeal, we were, at least, able to marry.
Despite the wide acceptance I enjoyed in my personal life and among my friends, I still lived in fear. Telling the wrong person or posting the wrong thing on social media could mean the end of my career. I hated the idea of living a lie. Honor is a core value within the Navy, and hiding who I was didn’t feel honorable, even though it had no material impact on my ability to serve.
By the spring of 2016, I was almost at my wit’s end. Although I excelled at work and received high marks in performance, being at work was becoming increasingly frustrating. I was virtually living a double life.
Even though by then the power to discharge trans people had been removed from Navy unit commanders, I stayed closeted because it was still technically possible for me to be processed out.
Then on June 30, 2016, then-Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter announced that the military was halting its ban on allowing service men and women who are transgender to serve.
I watched his press conference in my truck in a shopping mall parking lot, afraid to miss even a second of it. It was a pivotal moment for me. I was finally free, finally safe, finally able to fully excel without fearing for my career.
Moving forward with my transition is incredibly liberating. I feel even more motivated at work, helping my Sailors, and serving my country. While I don’t pretend to speak for all my fellow trans servicemembers, I have heard similar sentiments from many of them. My unit, command, and fellow servicemembers have been incredibly supportive.
So, of course, it was shocking and hurtful to hear of the transgender service ban. All the old fear and anxiety came flooding back, along with a sense of betrayal. I had, in good faith, made myself known. I had been granted license to be myself. And then, just a little more than a year later, that was all taken back.
Now, I wonder whether I’ll be able to continue my career. I must plan for a future that is uncertain and a course which could dramatically change in just a few months. I worry for my family.
I remember the first time someone thanked me for my service. I was flustered and didn’t know what to say. Then, my father reminded me of something: It’s my privilege. Privileges are something to be grateful for, something granted by others. Privilege is also earned.
I am fully committed to the ACLU’s lawsuit challenging the ban allowing trans service men and women to serve, but it took some convincing for me to agree to be a plaintiff. I never wanted a spotlight, I never wanted to be a hero.
But anyone can look at my service record, and the records of other trans servicemembers like me, and see that we have earned the privilege to continue serving our country so long as we continue to be fit for duty. We are equal to the task, and it is our right to have an equal chance to take that task on.

LOL, I agree that hap0206 gives us the distinct impression that, here
at least, the only opinion that means anything to him is his own.
Also, he gives the impression that in that Carroll case no one else's opinion period, not even the judge's
opinion, means anything. Whatever other opinion is given, hap, only sees his own opinion of any worth.
In other words, hap gives me the impression that none of our opinions means anything at all to him.
One more time, your opinion means absolutely nothing.
Makes some sense to me too.
I didn't know either.
hap0206, So are you saying that, in your eyes, the only way you would accept a woman justifiably winning a rape or sexual assault case against Trump, or any other man, would be if there were direct witnesses, and/or if the woman was so badly injured she would have to go to the police or hospital immediately after the attack.
Or, in other words, under what circumstance, would you see a guilty verdict in a rape case, in a jurisdiction where rape was any vaginal penetration, justified? Or, same for a liability verdict in the complainants favor in a sexual assault case in a jurisdiction like NY.

=======
Carroll’s lawyers have sought Trump’s DNA for three years to compare it with stains found on the dress Carroll wore the day she says Trump raped her in a department store dressing room in late 1995 or early 1996. Analysis of DNA on the dress concluded it did contain traces of an unknown man’s DNA.
Trump has denied knowing Carroll, saying repeatedly he never raped her and accusing her of making the claim to stoke sales of her book. She has sued him for defamation and under a New York law which allows alleged victims of sexual assault to sue over alleged crimes outside the usual statute of limitations.
After refusing to provide a DNA sample, Trump’s lawyers switched tactics, saying they would provide one if Carroll’s lawyers turned over the full DNA report on the dress.
But Kaplan said Trump had provided no persuasive reason to relieve him of the consequences of his failure to seek the full DNA report in a timely fashion.
The judge also noted that the report did not find evidence of sperm cells and that reopening the dispute would raise a “complicated new subject into this case that both sides elected not to pursue over a period of years”.
He said a positive match of Trump’s DNA to that on the dress would prove only that there had been an encounter between Trump and Carroll on a day when she wore the dress, but would not prove or disprove that a rape occurred and might prove entirely inconclusive.
Kaplan added: “His conditional invitation to open a door that he kept closed for years threatens to change the nature of a trial for which both parties now have been preparing for years. Whether Mr Trump’s application is intended for a dilatory purpose or not, the potential prejudice to Ms Carroll is apparent.”

All the Most Brutal Burns From Netflix’s Epic Tom Brady Roast
‘WHAT AN IDIOT!’
“Tom, the only thing dumber than you saying yes to this roast was when you said, hey babe, you should try jiu-jitsu,” Nikki Glaser joked in one of many shots at Brady’s divorce.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-most-brutal-burns-from-netflixs-epic-tom-brady-roast?utm_source=web_push
After a surprise appearance from Peyton Manning, the guest of honor took center stage and was as cocky in his suit as he used to be guiding fourth-quarter comebacks in his Pats uniform.
To the NFL, Brady bragged that the league spent $20 million investigating whether he had a role in deflating footballs in 2015. “You coulda just given me the 20 million and I woulda just told you I fucking did it!” Brady said, prompting a standing O from his former teammates. He also thanked Kardashian for agreeing to participate, although he drew a shady stare from her when he threw her under the bus with a line about Kanye West: “I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight. Not because of this but because her kids are home with their dad.”
He also teased Manning for forever living “in my shadow,” told Manning’s younger brother, Eli, and the New York Giants to eff off, and torched Belichick with this bit: “Everybody asks me which ring is my favorite. I used to say the next one. But now that I’m retired, my favorite ring is the camera that caught Coach Belichick slinking out of that poor girl’s house at 6 a.m. a few months ago… Hey! You still got it! Respect, baby.”
But perhaps the biggest collective head-shaker resounded throughout the arena when Brady delivered the most memorable 9/11 joke since the late Gilbert Gottfried tried one during Comedy Central’s Friar’s Club Roast of Hugh Hefner in 2001. To wit, Brady said of himself and his football legacy: “The word hero comes to mind. But I struggle with that word, because like the rest of America I’ll always remember where I was that fateful day in September of 2001 when tragically, those two Jets slammed into Drew Bledsoe.”
Nope, that's what he said. And his recent Time mag interview reaffirmed his authoritarian, DICTATORIAL, intentions.
Cut to 8:09 and then tell us 'why not?'.

Chicago Mayor Edward J. Kelly and the Chicago Citizens’ Committee, a group of prominent Chicagoans, pitched the 119 acre man-made lakefront peninsula just south of downtown as the potential home for the planned United Nations headquarters.
”... this is the city which grips the imagination of the world ... this is the city which should be the Headquarters of the United Nations.”
Of course, U.N. officials instead put their nine-building complex on 18 acres in Midtown Manhattan. John D. Rockefeller bought a chunk of the Big Apple for $18 million, then donated the land to the U.N.
Northerly Island became the airport Merrill C. Meigs Field in 1948 and stayed that way until 2003. That’s when then-Mayor Richard M. Daley, well, you know. https://chicago.suntimes.com/2023/3/31/23662485/miegs-field-airport-mayor-richard-daley-bulldozed-notherly-island-plane-march-2003
Think the pilot and co-pilot weren't 💩ing bricks on this approach?😬 Runway looks like the length of 2 McCormack Places end to end, if even.
Most likely because she claimed penis penatation — obvious a lie — no proof she called two friends— their testimony could be purchased with a few $thousands from the $5m
E Jean was making a good deal of money in the '90s. Did a lot of writing, for SNL among others. Had a regular column.
You're not getting it: he's a type a great many women find creepy. A groper, at best.
That does attract a bunch— many exactly like Jean Carroll
Oh boy, you certainly are a sucker. He wants to be one of those authoritarian leaders he admires so much.
Like Putin.
Fake news — dictator for a day — DOJ part of the administration—COChief of the military— direct control under the constitution
Bullshit. He did exactly the same thing to a woman--she is, I think, a sort of society journalist--at Mar-a-Lago. Took her into an empty, but nonetheless public, room. Slammed her against the wall and started assaulting her. She was able to get away. As with Carroll, she'd known him for years. she also never imagined he'd try anything, because Melania was upstairs, and there was a social event going on.
It was exactly the same M.O. And what about all the other women who've said he groped them or worse?
You should be aware that very, very few woman lie about being raped.
He is an Ok guy because she obviously lied about the rape — why — it’s such a serious criminal charge — the whole matter should have been thrown out of court— if anything occurred she was probably the predator

...incontinence is a problem we all face.
Well, no, it isn't. Many people go through life without ever experiencing it. Especially if it's Adderall-induced.
I'm guessing that it is not a farce. I just don't understand how that is some major type of flex. I've actually seen hundreds of photos like that. I guess someday I'll need to wear a diaper too but I wouldn't like it to be broadcast to the entire world. There's nothing wrong with it if we really need them, incontinence is a problem we all face.
LOL When I would get really wasted I passed out, then piss and shit myself too.(reason # 20022 why I'm divorced) The only thing missing is the vomit .. Something I'm not proud of but it does happen for us addicts. I just don't put it on a t-shirt but those idiots are proud. I bought new pants with my own money, no diaper yet but the jury is still out on the way it might go..
She's adorable!
I think you need some coffee.
Yes... They did an interesting one about Bertha Benz. She never aged, either.

We had a pair of baldies up in Michigan on the lake we lived on. Majestic creatures. Way better fisherman than I could ever be.. I just hope they are going after the carp and not my pets.
It's pretty cool that they are making a comeback here.. We have even got the blackbirds back after the west nile virus took them out. They are like the six million dollar man, better, stronger, faster.
