NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Governor Bill Lee announced Monday all previously scheduled executions in 2022 will be paused amid plans to launch a third-party review of the lethal injection testing oversight that resulted in a temporary reprieve for death row inmate Oscar Franklin Smith.

“I review each death penalty case and believe it is an appropriate punishment for heinous crimes,” said Lee. “However, the death penalty is an extremely serious matter, and I expect the Tennessee Department of Correction to leave no question that procedures are correctly followed.”

OK, seems fair and constitutional to consider fully that no execution method is unduly painful. But then I read this:

According to a release, Tennessee will retain former U.S. Attorney Ed Stanton to conduct an independent review of the following:

• Circumstances that led to testing the lethal injection chemicals for only potency and sterility but not endotoxins preparing for the April 21 execution

Sterility? Are we worried that this guy’s testicles stop producing viable sperm after he is sent to the hereafter for his hideous crimes? That happens to every human male after death visit us.

I don’t get it, it sounds just plain stupidity in Legalese.

Opinion column by Suzette Hackney in The Tennessean. Just another Liberal complaining that Musk should have spent his $42 billion on social programs they deem important.  And as usual, the fact that government just in 2019 spent $744 billion of all out taxes on public welfare without any reasonable success does not even cross her little enraged mind.

I don’t know you, but I am damn tired to be forcefully altruistic with my money and see no return for my compulsory social investment.

Suddenly Free Speech is a dangerous thing among the Liberals. Don’t worry, if come November, Congress flips red, you will see a new push by the Democrats to “save” Free Speech… mostly their version.

Many a misplaced Liberal wants desperately to make his/her city a bit like NYC or L.A.

The sane people do not.

By now, many will have seen the video of a Ukrainian drone dropping a small bomb through the sunscreen (!) of a car driven by Russian soldiers. Here’s a short thread on how it was done (with thanks to @ian_matveev, on whose thread this is based). /1 pic.twitter.com/EIm3aW1nWn

Small, almost undetectable by conventional anti-aircraft measures and delivers a payload with decent precision? And now imagine the same configuration, but as smart weapon sneaking in a non-straight access target and detonating.
