Another odd one ...

Here's an odd one for ya ...

Another MAGA politician allegedly being abusive?

Quelle surprise.

@#9 ... A Galaxy and my first Android phone. ...

imo, and in my experience...

That may be more a fault of Galaxy than Android.

I don't see similar behavior on the Android phones from other manufacturers I buy.

Indeed, that is one of the main reasons why I do not purchase Samsung phones.

YMMV, and all that ...

@#1 ... The far-fetched survey came after Trump, while announcing the return of the Presidential Physical Fitness Award on Tuesday, asked a young boy attending the announcement in the Oval Office if he thought he could take him in a fight. ...

Yeah, the things Pres Trump says when there are children present are, I'll be kind in my opinion, odd.

Mor from the article ...

... The far-fetched survey came after Trump, while announcing the return of the Presidential Physical Fitness Award on Tuesday, asked a young boy attending the announcement in the Oval Office if he thought he could take him in a fight.

The award, which is tied to the Presidential Fitness Test, was a public-school fixture for decades until it was phased out under former President Barack Obama for a less-competitive alternative. ...

@#13 ... Congress won't fix SCOTUS decisions through legislation or amendments. ...

Is the problem Congress not "fixing" SCOTUS decisions? Can Congress actually do that? imo, that's another discussion thread.

But the real questions of late seem to be ...

Does Congress represent the good People of the United States?

Or has Congress become little more than a useful tool of Pres Trump?

More from the article ...

... When the woman contacted the account owner to request the video's removal, he replied that taking it down was a "paid service." She refused to pay and reported the matter to the police. The social media platforms removed the clip and banned at least one account, but whatever goes on the internet stays on the internet; copies and reposts of the footage kept appearing on other profiles.

Smart glasses with built-in cameras make abuse like this easier because they look like ordinary eyewear and record discreetly. Some models have a recording indicator, but such a tiny light can be easy to miss. Some users even try to hide the light by covering it up. ...

@#1

attenuation

-- should be --

attention

(there are times that spell check is not helpful. I will leave it at that. ...)

OK, here's one that caught my attention ...

The linked video above ...

Steve Forbert - Romeo's Tune (1979)

Yeah, you likely know Mr Forbert from his great American Pie song. But he had other songs worthy of attenuation...

OK, my first question, among many, ...

If solar power has resulted in a [transitory] period of negative power cost, why does Pres Trump seem to be so against solar power?

... The Institute for Primary Facts has compiled more than 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files for public display ...

Yeah, but most of the files have still to be released.

What is the problem with the Trump administration, that they do not seem to want to release the Epstein files?

Release the Epstein files!

Prosecute those who may be guilty.

Give the victims of Epstein some closure.

@#7 ... Given that it was a private event, I have no idea. ...

Yeah, that was my concern [question?] also.

Can a private group reserve a public space in Grand Prairie, TX for their own purpose?

That seems to be the unanswered question here.

What are the laws of that particular area?

@#4 ... "Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?" ...

I do not disagree.

Instead I strongly agree.

And that explains the [usual by that bellringer alter-alias] lame #5 response.

I'd proffer that most of the folk using computers of late haven't a clue about rootkits.

They rely upon the protection the operating system offers to keep them safe.

So, how good is the major OS, Windows, in that task?

@#3 ... Imprison The Pedophile ...

Which one?

How many wealthy individuals might the Epstein files raise questions about?

And why is the Trump admin trying so strenuously to bury those files?

@#11 ... Leak hunt is go ...

If it was a leak, why is that leak wrong for Americans?

Asked differently, if this leak turns out to be correct, why did Americans need a leak to tell them about how those who have pledged to serve them may have, I'll say, stumbled in that oath?

@#10 ... Talk about having to write a report while staring down the barrel shotgun. ...

As I interpret that comment (please correct me if I am incorrect) ...

Yeah, major kudos to that Atlantic reporter for the follow-up article.

@#13 ... Bulls*&^. It's arrogant ignorance. Period. ...

I disagree.

What I would agree with, however, is ...

          Bulls*&^. It's arrogant, intentional ignorance. Period.

Yeah, much better.

@#4

Do try harder.

@#3 ... it is better than losing jobs ...

I agree.

But it is necessary to look at the areas that are gaining jobs vs areas that are losing jobs, instead of just looking at the headline number.

With that in mind ...

Pres Trump had promised to bring manufacturing back to the US.

But there was a multi-thousand job loss in the manufacturing area in this report.

The gains in jobs were mostly health-care and education.

Not the manufacturing increase that Pres Trump had hoped for.

@#5

I do not see the reason why this event was cancelled by whoever.

Can anyone explain that reason?

thx.

@#1 ... According to data from French grid operator RTE, solar power generation rose to about 20 million kilowatts (20 GW). Usually, strong expectations for solar power generation depress next-day electricity prices into the negative ahead of time, as the market factors in excess supply in advance. ..

Yeah, maybe store that excess energy?

Battery technology. Who would have thought?

What a concept!

Or maybe, just rely on the old Big Oil billionaires for energy?

More from the cited The Cristian Post article ...

... A spokesperson for the City of Grand Prairie said Thursday the city canceled the DFW Epic Eid Celebration scheduled for June 1 at the Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark.

"After further review and in the best interest of the City of Grand Prairie, the June 1 Eid event at Epic Waters Indoor Waterpark has been canceled," the spokesperson said.

The event at the city-owned waterpark was initially promoted with flyers describing it as "Muslims only" and included a modest dress code requiring burkinis for women, halal food, a private prayer room and rules encouraging attendees to maintain personal space and "lower the gaze."

After backlash on social media, organizers updated promotional materials to state that "all are welcome," provided attendees follow the modest dress code. ...
