The Judge, Hazel, who sentenced Hasson to 160 months, said he believes the officer was preparing to carry out a “mass casualty assault as a way to act out his white nationalist views.”

“The need to protect the public is of paramount importance,” the judge said.

Hasson, in his first public comments since his arrest, said he has never harmed anybody in his life and wasn’t planning to hurt anyone “in any way, shape or form.” But he apologized to his family, his colleagues and to the public, saying he knew his actions alarmed many people.

Prosecutors said he has been a “closet skinhead” his entire adult life.

Prosecutors also claimed Hasson drew up what appeared to be a computer spreadsheet hit list naming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic presidential hopefuls, including Elizabeth Warren. He also mentioned several network TV journalists, including MSNBC’s Chris Hayes and Joe Scarborough and CNN’s Chris Cuomo and Van Jones.

I just wonder why it is ok for the government to make lists, but if a person makes a list, and has guns, all of a sudden they are a threat. The government makes lists, and has a massive stockpile of guns.

Did some digging and found talking points.

Many are familiar with the Italian artist Giovanni Gasparro because of his portrait depicting Jewish religious scholars involved in a blood libel ritual, but for the Christians on here, it's worth beholding some of his many, many other works.

He is especially known for his detailed and evocative depiction of hands and other anatomical features. His glowing portraits of Christ and the Apostles communicate such incredible feeling.

I like sharing his many artworks with friends and family without revealing the controversial (((anti semitic))) painting he is best known for (you can view it here for sale as a reprint: https://www.paintingstar.com/giovanni-gasparro-martirio-di-san-simonino-da-trento-s207159.html).

Many "critics" have come to be harshly critical of Giovanni as pedestrian or there such terms. But for those who despair about the present and future of white art and creation, I think his works show incredible optimism and beauty.

Young family member was sitting on a hill aways away in the yard during a BBQ. Wasp flies over. Two carpenter bees very obviously lock on to this and make a bee-line to the wasp and drive it off. Now this is a couple acres away but they still flew the whole distance just to drive the wasp away.

Anyway a couple minutes later another wasp tries to land on him, and again the carpenter bees zoom over there and aggressively drive away the wasp, before flying back to their nest near the porch.

Only reason we haven't cleared em is because the porch is getting replaced anyway.

I'll install treated wood during the renovation, maybe set up an untreated post near by for the wood bees.

Little fuckers will stop and stare at me when I'm working the yard and garden, just hover there minding their business, all curious like.

The males are stingless, but territorial, and don't mess with people from what I gather. Like wasps they also readily recognize faces. Maybe they figured out don't fuck with the humans and aren't happy that the wasps behavior could lead to another house-wide nest removal, who knows.

They're okay in my book.

Because either it will rise with a vengeance or it will fail I don't fucking care. Admittedly I kinda wish the whole thing crashes, maybe it's just the mood I'm in?

I want to buy it ASAP.
