Alert: Jim Jordan is making HUGE strides to gain the Speakership today
Mon Oct 16, 2023, 02:22 PM Alhena (2,967 posts) Alert: Jim Jordan is making HUGE strides to gain the Speakership today I see a lot of people here posting articles which were written last night. There have been a TON of cave-ins among the anti-Jordan opposition since then: Jake Sherman is following this very closely on Twitter and thinks he almost has it: Alarm bells should be going off among Dems, but I see a lot of gloating and complacency based on old articles.

Hurricane Hilary: Category 4 storm barrels toward California
The National Weather Service today expanded a tropical storm watch to include all of Los Angeles County, as well as other areas. Tropical storm watches had previously been issued for some parts of the region, but the new one includes the entire county, which has a population of around 10 million people. A watch means that tropical storm conditions, which include sustained winds of 39 mph to 73 mph, are possible.

What to know about the EG.5 coronavirus subvariant, now dominant in the U.S.
Mon Aug 14, 2023, 11:47 AM A new coronavirus variant, EG.5, now accounts for the largest proportion of Covid infections in the U.S., according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Over a two-week period ending on Saturday, EG.5 — which some health experts on social media nicknamed “Eris” — made up an estimated 17.3% of new cases nationwide. That’s up from just under 12% during the prior two-week period, and less than 1% as of late May.
'Almost too many targets': Report reveals Trump has plans for a furious wave of revenge attacks
Fri Aug 4, 2023, 03:18 PM Donald Trump and his allies are plotting full-on revenge attacks against his tormenters if he can find a path back to the White House, reported Rolling Stone Friday. The twice-impeached, thrice-indicted former president is assembling a roster of loyalist lawyers and planning revenge-minded special counsels and special prosecutors to investigate Smith, Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg Jr. and other prosecutors.
Well I hope she is on the witness list:

How many Americans have read the indictment?
How many Americans do you think have actually read or listened to the 45 page indictment? Or are even aware of the charges? Jack Smith couldn't have made it any easier. It's only 45 pages long with bullet points and is double spaced. And numerous outlets have an audio version available now. I'm trying not to be pessimistic but betting on the intellectual curiosity of the American people is risky. Maybe if Jack Smith released 30 second Tik Tok videos explaining the evidence people might get it.

Justice Alito has issued an "administrative" stay of Judge Reed O'Connor's nationwide injunction
Previous post for context: Judge Reed O'Connor issues nationwide injunction blocking new ATF rule restricting the sale of “weapon parts” used to create ghost guns. Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck Justice Alito has issued an “administrative” stay of Judge Reed O’Connor’s nationwide injunction in the “ghost guns” case—temporarily freezing that order while the full Court decides whether to stay it pending appeal. This is *not* a sign of how the full Court is likely to rule.

It almost seems like double the work because pretty much everybody gets packages almost daily so they’re still having to come around to most of the houses but it’s usually two different carriers, one just does regular mail and the other does packages.

Trump Pledges to End Birthright Citizenship
Response to jls4561 (Reply #4) Tue May 30, 2023, 03:25 PM 9. Applies More to Donald Trump It seems to apply more to Donald Trump than Barron Trump. Didn't Donald Trumps grandfather come to the United States illegally to get out of serving in the German military. If not for birthright citizenship at least one of Donald Trumps parents would not have been an American citizen. It is possible neither of his parents would have been citizens without birthright citizenship.
Proud Boys' ex-leader Enrique Tarrio sentenced to 22 years
Federal rules, I've been told, are clearly defined. Federal inmates serve an average of 85% of their sentence, which means that they are required to serve a minimum of 85% of their sentence before becoming eligible for release. This policy, known as good time credit, is in place to incentivize positive behavior and reduce the risk of recidivism.May 28, 2023

Watch out for Thrift Savings Plan underreporting of distributions!
Tue Apr 11, 2023, 09:35 AM My mother has required minimum distribution from her TSP. I thought the annual TSP statement was light on distributions, so I took a closer look- and discovered it only covered the period from 26 May until year-end! The TSP person said it was because computer systems had been changed. I got stymied trying to get full-year data from both TSP and the credit union, since I'm not the account holder.

The cops that went into the school in Tennessee are being lauded as heros because what they did was the exception. They saved lots of lives. And ya know what? These memes are GOOD. Sharing this is GOOD. You know why? It shines a light on any cops that cower outside schools while children are being murdered.
Why the right will take Trump's indictment hard:
Fri Mar 31, 2023, 12:59 PM These people really believed that it was their rightful privilege to cheat to win. And they believed they had the status quo in their favor to stop any prosecution that would force them to act in a law-abiding manner. They thought they had the police force, the military, the FBI and churches on their side. Now they realize that we are truly a divided country and the status quo reflects that division in all these quarters, except the churches.

Response to Delarage (Original post) Sat Mar 4, 2023, 08:59 AM 28. I have been fortunate... Most of my life, to have acquired good, reliable vehicles, except for the one I bought new many years ago. Currently I have two older vehicles that I like for different reasons. 1992 Toyota 4runner, 240K+ miles. 2004 BMW X3i, 165K miles. I just refurbished much of the under hood things on the Toyota in the last couple years... stuff just wears out.

The name of the state militia's were changed to the National Guard in 1903 by an act of congress and eventually in 1930s also enlisted as army reserve, but still under the authority of the State. Article I, Section 8 specifically allows congress to organize and provision the militia. Reply to this post Back to top Alert abuse Link here Permalink

Response to Texasgal (Reply #19) Wed Feb 22, 2023, 06:13 PM 22. The most dangerous thing to do in California during a snowstorm is... drive on the roads; Californians have NO clue what to do.

Response to dalton99a (Original post) Sat Feb 4, 2023, 02:08 PM 1. Physically capturing it would be more preferrably I would think... so as to gain knowledge of what tech developments it might contain. Shooting it down would destroy it. Reply to this post Back to top Alert abuse Link here Permalink
Q. Why can't munitions that would only give the balloon a leak to bring it down be used?
Response to mobeau69 (Original post) Fri Feb 3, 2023, 07:48 PM 1. The very high altitude means few munitions can reach it. And with such a small target to hit, anything big enough to be propelled up that height will come back to earth and be very dangerous. Reply to this post Back to top Alert abuse Link here Permalink

Should a pregnant woman be allowed to drive in an HOV lane in Virginia?
Response to Cyrano (Original post) Sun Jan 15, 2023, 02:30 PM 2. I don't even think it should count if you have only one actual child in the car. The whole point of HOV lanes is to take cars off the road. My old boss used to chauffeur her (private school) kid everywhere for his activities and she would complain all the time about HOV lane cheaters, but she was actually adding a car to the road, IMO. If the passengers aren't even driving age, you should have to have two of them.
