LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Federal prosecutors are suing to seize control of the building in downtown Louisville formerly known as PNC Plaza, alleging it is secretly owned by billionaire Ukrainian oligarchs and used to launder billions of dollars they plundered from a bank they owed in the eastern European country.
They apparently also acquired properties in other parts of the US. Wonder if the Bidens were involved....

Homeland Security is building the border wall faster than ever before, the department’s border chief said Thursday.
Whatever, they'll just climb over it, or tunnel under it.

CHARLESTON, SC—A Black Lives Matter protest in South Carolina started to get out of hand, with people screaming at police officers stationed nearby. It threatened to get violent until the protestors paused after noticing they were all white. The protestors insisted they had some black people with them earlier, but it appeared that they had all left when the protest started to get out of hand. “It’s possible they had jobs,” suggested one protestor.

An airline food service provider is cutting 193 jobs in Portland as a result of the downturn in air travel during the Covid-19 pandemic. Sky Chefs Inc. filed notice with the state Friday that it planned to end the workers' jobs starting Oct. 1. United Airlines recently said it would furlough up to 119 workers at the airport, and Powell's books announced that it had permanently closed its airport locations.
I live under one of the main flight paths between Portland and California, and it hasn't been this quiet since 9/11. Should be easy to find a parking place around PDX, though.

Nike, after disclosing a rare money-losing quarter in June, announced layoffs that will eliminate at least 500 jobs at the company’s world headquarters in Oregon, according to the state of Oregon's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification web site.
That's going to hit a lot of Beaverton-area families, and just in time for Halloween. Unfortunately, it's no prank.

CDC predicts up to 11,000 people will die every week this month from coronavirus.
One can only hope that they're all Democrats.

Bricks, batteries, frozen water bottles, sling shots with ball bearings and even feces were among the homemade weapons thrown at a group of federal marshals in Portland, Oregon, who described a daily war zone during recent violent protests in the city.
At least 20 deputies from the US Marshals Service have been injured, suffering cuts and concussions, over more than two months of guarding the Mark O. Hatfield Federal Courthouse — a focal point of violent protests which began after the May death of George Floyd in police custody, according to a recent report.
The “relentless” attacks have included demonstrators launching professional fireworks and mortar rounds stuffed with nails at the marshals — and the violence has taken a toll, said Russel Burger, the federal marshal for Oregon.
Oh, and believe it or not, Portland has also been run by Democrats for the last 30 years or so.
What a coincidence.

There have been more shootings so far this year in New York City than in all of 2019.
A 24-year-old man who walked bleeding into Lincoln Hospital in The Bronx on Saturday night has pushed the city’s total number of shootings this year to 777 — topping the 776 recorded in all of last year, NYPD data compiled by The Post reveals.
And it’s only the first days of August, with five more months before the year is over.
At the same time:
Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s (D) Chicago witnessed a 139 percent increase in murder during July 2020 when compared to July 2019.
Well, given that NYC and Chicago are pretty far apart, it's probably safe to assume that it's got nothing to do with something in the water. So what do they have in common, these two cities?
Both of them have Democrats running them.
