In my youth, I spent a lot of time in Tennessee. Fried catfish and hush puppies and a sign outside that said ‘your dinner was swimming this morning’…good eating.
A Seattle doctor whose medical license was suspended after she participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol was shot and killed after pointing a gun at two people delivering paperwork at her West Seattle home on Tuesday.
The local news is reporting Tamara Parry pointed a shotgun at the servers.
This page has the text article, and also the video that is being shown on local news this morning.
One woman in the video said she was accosted by Perry, who asked her if she was law enforcement or military. The woman was just walking down the street… wearing her blue airline uniform.
It’s a tragic story, actually, if you read the whole article. She descended into lunacy after a diagnosis for multiple sclerosis, followed by a divorce and debts on her house she couldn’t handle anymore. I know it’s not really excusable, but after these strokes of fate, she fell for Qanon which finally led to her death. Horrible story.
Probably won’t impact his election chances, but still…
“Why don’t you go back to Nazi Germany where you’re from, Senator?”
And he’s not even running against her. Just had to stick his big head in it.
The article says, “Indigenous people, including the Nez Perce tribe, have lived in the Columbia River Basin for thousands of years. Foreman was born in Lake Forest, Illinois.” So by his own logic, he needs to return to illinois.
Also an Idaho Statesman article says, “Foreman did not respond to a request for comment, but said he had been ‘race-baited’ in a Thursday post on Facebook.”
Race-baiting: When a person of color has the gall to speak to a white man in anything but a subservient manner.
In other words: It’s her fault he said racist things.
She provoked him by provocatively not being white.
aka Uppity.
I wasn’t going to say it but yes, exactly.
Got to admit, I truly, deeply, madly love when stupid assmunches tell Native Americans to go back where they came from.
It’s just the most perfect encapsulation of their blatant racism, idiocy, and complete lack of self-awareness.
ANY awareness. That these people, from Trump on down got even close to a position of power is nuts.
Yeah, I’ve had catfish, walleye, and trout and didn’t care for any of them. They didn’t make me hurl, but I don’t want to eat them again. So, I’ve avoided fresh water fish for years now.
Pro tip: Don’t write a memoir about your crime unless you want:
a year in prison, a reduction in rank to private and a dishonorable discharge
Good job, Gunny! I mean Private!

We used to watch a lot of true crime documentaries. I think it was the one with Lt. Joe Kenda where I was always saying: ‘Rule Number One. If you don’t want to get caught, don’t tell anybody!’
I’m guessing that’s how this genius (again on Miitary.com) got caught. Bullet points:
- Soldier paid woman to enter fake marriage.
- Soldier fraudulently reported his “wife” and her child accompanied him to his new duty station in Hawai’i.
- The “wife” used the fake marriage to apply for change in immigration status.
- Soldier fraudulently received $202,039 in unauthorized pay and allowances.
- Since he’s no longer in the Army, he gets to spend some time in a federal prison, not a military confinement facility.
It was paywalled for me.
EDIT: NVM I was able to find it elsewhere. Sad that he didn’t get hit with any other charges or punishments. Those seem insufficient.
This isn’t Foreman’s first rodeo. He’s yelled at college students lobbying for birth control, calls his own district a cesspool of liberalism (he’s from Idaho, so if it’s any bit right of MAGA, you’re in the cesspool), does not support separation of church & state, and wants to get rid of a state law that regulates militias. He’s a real piece of work.
