Although IANAL, based on just the judges order linked above, it looks like they barely bothered to defend their actions. Not sure if that’s from hubris or incompetence. I mean, come on. They let this guy carry a gun? This is embarrassing number of [sic]s on words a 6th grader could spell.

This Deputy received a complaint at the
McDowell County Sheriffl'Is Office for a
marijuana grow in the area of Baptist Dr.
This Deputy and Deputy J.A. Horn responded
to the area to investigate. Upon our
arrival we incountered [sic] by two elderly
subjects who was on the pourch [sic] and
asked them if they growed [sic] marijuana
and they stated "No". Shorty [sic] the
above said defendant arrived and stated that
he owned the property where we was.
This
Deputy and Deputy J.A. Horn began walking to
the edge of the defendant ['Is said property
line and could smell the odor of marijuana
in the air.
This Deputy and Deputy J.A.
Horn walked approximately 50 foot [sic] from
the defendant['s said property line and
located 4 marijuana plants that was
approximately 5 Ft tall. This Deputy and
Deputy J.A. Horn returned to the above said
defendant and as we came walking towards him
he stated "Did yal [sic] find what you was
looking for". There was no other homes
other than what defendant owned on the said
street. This Deputy had reason to believe
that the defendant had committed a crime and
a reasonable person would suspect that the
marijuana plants was the defendants. This
deputy asked the defendant for his
information in order to identify the
defendant and he refused stating "I don't
feel comfortable giving you that
information". This deputy then told the
defendant that he was required to give his
information.
The defendant still refused to
give his information to identify him. This
Deputy then told the defendant that he would
be placed under arrest if he didn['lt
identify his-self and he stated "Well go
ahead and arrest me." This deputy first
tried another means to identify the
defendant but it wasn|'It effective.
Deputy then attempted to place the defendant

The defendant eventually stopped

I regret to inform you, the people (I use that term loosely) at the bad place continue to be complete assholes.

A post from X with the video of Jimothy the raccoon frolicking. User named AryanBundles is offering the following:

“If anyone can capture Jimothy the Raccoon or DM me his exact location I will make it worth your while.
$10,000 Alive
$5000 for his exact location
As many of you know I'm a collector rare and deformed animals. He would be a perfect fit for my collection.“

Ah yes. China, famous for its free and fair elections. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_China

Analysis
The performed elections in China do not meet free and fair election criteria such as ballot access and political media access. 49]
Freedom of political speech and freedom of political assembly are all severely restricted by the government 50jl511 The general
Chinese public has virtually no say on how the top leaders of the country are elected 51150) Censorship in China is widespread and
political dissent is harshly punished in the country.(53]
China is the 3rd least electorally democratic country in the world and second least electoral democratic country in Asia according
to 2023 V-Dem Democracy indices. 54] Freedom House rates the People's Republic of China as 0 out of 4 for freedom of the
electoral process. 55]

So, it’s all theater, but, isn’t “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” a bit load bearing? Declaring a whole bunch of people in the country as *not* subject to the jx they’re in feels like it’s opening a can of worms.

We introduced a constitutional amendment to clarify the 14th Amendment. A
person born in the United States is "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United
States and eligible for citizenship ONLY if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen,
a U.S. national, or a lawful permanent resident.
Children of illegal immigrants will no longer receive automatic citizenship
simply by being born on American soil.
We cannot continue to allow this systematic abuse of the Constitution at the

I’m almost afraid to ask, but wtf is a “strolling woman” and can I send her a cookie basket?

In light of the recent attacks against President Trump's lifeincluding two attempts in less
than a month—the injunction entered by this Court for the benefit of a strolling woman, who filed
suit against the East Wing Project long before she knew what was going to be built (This is a
woman who is a known serial plaintiff throughout Washington, D.C.), and who has absolutely no
standing, must be immediately vacated, and this suit, which is a complete embarrassment to our
Country, must be dismissed. This is a terrible, tremendously harmful case to the United States of
America, and all it stands for!

My junior year of all-girls, Catholic high school one of my classmates got pregnant. It was not an “oh good, birth rates will rise” moment in time. I’m imaging the reaction of Sister Loretta reading this and laughing my ass off.

prayer with Christians celebrating the resurrection of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ.

because they lied to the United States and they strung us along in negotiations, and that
was unacceptable to the president, which is why many of the previous leaders were
killed"

Not surprised. Not even a little. Not that they attacked a disabled fishing boat. Not that they lied about it and blamed the victims. And especially not that they’re incapable of taking responsibility OR successfully covering it up. Pathetic.

FULL REPORT: Colombian public media reports
that a U.S. military strike on a boat on September
15—the second attack on a vessel by the U.S. in
the Caribbean that we're aware of—was a
Colombian boat and was in Colombian territorial
waters.
At least one of the three victims extrajudicially
killed in the strike was Colombian lifelong
fisherman Alejandro Carranza. Alejandro's
identity is confirmed by his cousin.
The Colombian boat was adrift and had its
distress signal up due to an engine failure.

The boat attacked on September 16 was
Colombian, had an engine on top as a sign of
damage and was turned off, presumably it was in
Colombian waters, who was there was a lifelong
fisherman: Alejandro Carranza, who has not
returned to his home.
Alert to the Attorney General of the Nation. I
request that you act immediately. Grant
immediate protection to the victim families and
associate them, if they wish, with the victims of
Trinidad and Tobago to initiate legal actions in the

Just tried this new feature in iPadOS. It’s still pretty rough, imo, but has potential to be a game changer when it comes to accessibility.

Eye Tracking
Eye Tracking allows you to control your device using
just your eyes. iPad should be on a stable surface,
about one and a half feet away from your face.
Setup
Eye Tracking uses the front-facing camera to
determine where you are looking at on the screen.
Make sure the front-facing camera has a clear view of
your face, with adequate lighting.
• For best results, iPad should be on a stable surface,
about one and a half feet away from your face.
Calibration
After Eye Tracking is turned on, you will be asked to
follow a series of dots onscreen.
• Look at each dot to help calibrate Eye Tracking to
your eyes.
Dwell Control
• After calibrating, Dwell Control will turn on.
• To interact with iPad, focus on a control for the dwell
duration. Dwell Control will then tap that item.
• Other actions like home, lock, control center, scrolling
and more are available in the AssistiveTouch menu.

“Engage in some debate. Make your case.” Gee, if I only anyone had thought to try that a few thousand times. Eventually, the only conclusion is that “cry harder pedo cuck” is the best they have. Why waste time on that?
