Gonna leave the Israel situation to the serious folks, only noting in passing that given the Muslim tendency to stage attacks on significant anniversaries, perhaps the Israelis should have been on higher alert on the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur attacks?<\/p>\n
Also worth noting that this probably will kill the proposed Saudi Arabia-US-Israel agreements in the works\u00a0 – Saudi hardliners will never go for an agreement while Israel is attacking Muslims, even in self defense.NBC News<\/a><\/p>\n Closer to home – Los Angeles has hired several DACA folks (“Dreamers”) who, while allowed to be armed at work, are not allowed to have guns or ammo off duty. LA is worried about their safety.\u00a0 Funny how they don’t seem to think\u00a0 unarmed citizens are at risk from criminals, huh.\u00a0 Makes you wonder whether actually attacking crime and criminals is a better idea than disarming folks? Fox 11<\/a><\/p>\n *********************<\/p>\n Also in California, a guy whose mother’s house was occupied by squatters (who typically wave a bogus lease to force cops to back off) had an interesting tactic. He had his mother do a lease to him, waited till the squatters left, moved in – and stayed. Squatters returned to an occupied dwelling and when he didn’t leave, the original squatters had to go elsewhere. What would that be, counter-squatting? Now, in a free state like Texas, I’ll bet he could have had 1911 reasons for them to leave, but this is CA. The article describes this counter-squatting as ‘dangerous’ – I suspect being downwind of said 1911 would be more so.\u00a0 Moneywise<\/a> Moving east to North Carolina, a sexually abused\u00a0 teenager was awarded $69,000 from her abuser by a judge, only to learn that the police had seized all the abuser’s assets under civil asset forfeiture and she will get nothing.<\/p>\n Records show when MHPD investigated the sex abuse case in July 2019, they found suspected marijuana, drug paraphernalia and cash inside the suspect’s home. The victim’s family and their attorney said, at the time, an officer assured them the money would be available to one day pursue in a civil suit and in the years after, continued telling them the money remained held in property\u2026.<\/p>\n Unbeknownst to them, investigators seized the cash and partnered with a federal agency to apply for asset forfeiture, citing probable cause of illicit drug activity. MHPD investigators never charged the suspect with any drug crimes, only sex offenses, but that didn’t prevent the department from eventually collecting more than $45,000 of the seized money in 2020 through what’s called the Equitable Sharing Program, according to records. The federal government received the rest of the money. reason.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Funny how the only time the government moves fast is when it is taking…<\/p>\n *********************<\/p>\n Some Republicans floated an idea to make Donald Trump Speaker of the House. Not going to happen, per Rep. Ken Buck, D-CO, who voted to remove former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.\u00a0AOL<\/a> Why anyone would seriously propose the biggest target of Democratic ire in decades is beyond me…I did find it notable to discover that the Speaker does not have to be a sitting Congresscritter. Who knew?\u00a0 MSN<\/a><\/p>\n Last, and certainly least, electric truck fans are swooning that a Tesla pickup was able to haul a trailer with a ‘giant’ Space Raptor rocket engine. Oh wait – turns out that motor weighs about 3,500 pounds. Notebookcheck<\/a>\u00a0 So the Tesla was towing about 70% of the minimum tow capacity of an F150.
