RT: Kentucky voting machine shifted Donald Trump’s votes to Kamala Harris
A viral video showing Kentucky voters experiencing a voting machine glitch that seemingly shifted votes from Donald Trump to Kamala Harris has been confirmed by Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown. After initially denying the issue, Brown has since acknowledged the malfunction and confirmed that the machine was taken out of service pending an investigation by the Attorney General’s Office.
Why aren’t these glitches ever in Trump’s favor?”
10. Natural CO2 converters
Marcus Brown: “The title is a bit deceptive, they aren’t talking about “plants”, they are talking about the combined total CO2 absorption of every plant on earth. In plain English, our planet is 31% greener today than it was 40 years ago, thanks to CO2. This is in spite of losing around 6% of our trees to deforestation over the same period. Plants seem to be growing significantly faster, using up more CO2, than they did years ago.”
9. Georgia and Tbilisi
“The State Department and the European Union are demanding Tbilisi repeal “anti-democratic” legislation and investigate election “irregularities” respectively after the Georgian Dream Party won this weekend’s parliamentary elections. Georgian leaders including Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and President Salome Zourabichvili are at odds, with Zourabichvili accusing Kobakhidze’s party of winning a “total fraud” election.
Per the official tally, Georgian Dream won 54% of the vote, with multiple opposition parties earning between 3-11%.”
JH: Not sure which way to think on this one EU and current US govt agin … seems good to be “for” then.

At the elite level, clubs downunder have a long history of “raiding” the Irish game for star recruits and Zach Tuohy is one such … he’s just retired:
I can understand that, truly I can … to lose to an equal or better opposition … wwweeellllllll, that’s just the way the cookie crumbles … but to fail to do the things you know you must … that’s almost unforgivable and for a stickler, as Tuohy was … one can lose all interest.
Tuohy came in at the end of Geelong’s golden era, 2011, schooled in discipline, a core member of the back six “unit”, the last line of defence … complete understanding between those boys was required … knowing ahead of time where each would be, knowing how to respond … that’s why I vastly prefer team sports … where a plan comes off … over and over.
And when someone doesn’t do his job, fulfil his part, he need not be shouted at … he knows it full well. Zach Tuohy I’d say was being let down in crucial stages in a game … he has a backman’s or bass player’s mind … straight down the line.
