Unrest sparked by federal immigration raids in Los Angeles provided a questionable catalyst for President Donald Trump to stage a demonstration of military force. Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday: "Looking really bad in L.A. BRING IN THE TROOPS!" read more

"He said you forgot to give me my tip," Volino said. Things quickly escalated into a scuffle, and that is when Volino spotted a gun tucked in Delehant's waistband. "He stepped to the right, I stepped to the left, and I reached behind him, and I felt the steel in his waistband, and as soon as I felt the gun in his waistband, my heart just sank," Volino said. "The only thing on my mind was that I had to get the gun away from him. I was in a struggle for my life. I was thinking, it's me or him." Volino ended up disarming Delehant and both men called 911. read more
For all the insults that Mr. Musk and Mr. Trump traded on Thursday, don't be surprised if they make up again days from now. In the meantime, they both benefit. The spat was revelatory, it was epic, it was historic, at least according to the thousands of earnest and excited commentaries that were instantly published. It was also a well-timed outburst. read more
Attention, Americans! Next time you fly, the folks at the Transportation Safety Administration have a simple reminder: no, your Costco Membership is not a valid form of ID. The bizarre reminder came days ago, amidst a renewed flurry of web traffic - and presumably some attempts at the security checkpoint - checking whether the almighty wholesale retail pass will get you to past the gate and onto your flight. "We love hotdogs and rotisserie chickens as much as the next person, but please stop telling people their Costco card counts as a REAL ID because it absolutely does not," the TSA implored on social media. read more
Arrest? That'd so wussy.
Real tyrants [men] march them into the hallway and summarily execute them while the Ba'Ath Party [GOP] applauds.
Drones, like cyber, are the next warfare. imo.

Yeah, nuts how quickly they've rendered tanks into a liability. And now they have 12+ mile fiber optic cables, rendering electronic jamming a non-concern. Troops responding by carrying scissors to clip the wires. All of this to be further enhanced with onboard AI, which means no more humans needed to make those split-second calls.
Ukraine to Make 10 Million Air, Land, Sea Drones a YearImagine hundreds of millions, or a couple billion, of autonomous drones setting off China's invasion of Taiwan.
At the forefront of combat drone technology and production, Ukraine's UAVs account for 80% of battlefield engagements " and total number will soon grow significantly, says Kyiv.

LOL!
I remember seeing that movie as a kid. Didn't get the joke and took it literally. Wracked my brain for days trying, without success, to figure out how to apply it to my own life.
A police report revealed the homeowner, Anthony Volino, told officers that his daughter ordered about $100 in groceries and tipped through the app, but Delehant was not satisfied.A poem in DoorDash Guy's honor: www.youtube.com
Just a reminder. Undocumented immigrants do not get free stuff from America. They pay taxes and do not receive the benefits of those taxes ie Medicaid and social security. Iow we are taking advantage of THEM

Maybe not from America, but they get certain state benefits in California, like health care, in-state tuition, and food assistance.

And consider if another nation decided to invade and conquer America, as we did to the Native Americans, what would you do to force them to leave?

"First, we would refuse statehood five times, which we have never had in the history of our people. Then we would launch multiple wars, and lose all of them.
And then, instead of finally making peace and learning to co-exist with a nation we can never hope to defeat militarily, we would hunt down, rape, and murder 1,200 civilian men, women, and children in their homes and at a music festival, and take hundreds of them hostage.
When we receive divine retribution in the form of Israeli bullets, we will then cry and play victim?"

Makes no sense. At a for-profit, yes.

Makes perfect sense. The hospital is non-profit for tax purposes, but the doctors working there certainly are not. Same way many non-profit university presidents make a couple million a year.

Many of the doctors who make the call that the patient is dead is also in the line of transplanting organs (for different patients). One hand washes the other in the organ donation business. Which is why I cancelled my organ donation many years ago.
I have no problem donating my organs once I'm done using them. And those who will make that donation call know where I stand. I just don't need the medical industry making that decision for me for their profit and to my detriment.
The seizure occurred in international waters. This was an act of piracy by Israel and an act of war again the UK, the nation under which the ship is flagged.

Wow! That's an outrage!
I'm sure the UK will get right on that. Right after they give the Palestinians a stern talking-to for this minor faux pas:
More Britons killed on October 7 than in any other foreign terror attack since 9/11
