Yeah, but felons can’t legally carry a gun, so…

Yes.

Our experts confirm Washington secretly rotated his slaves out of the state, sometimes just sending them over the river to New Jersey, so they couldn’t claim their freedom.

“He actually instructs his secretary to do it in a way that will deceive them, meaning the slaves and the public,” MacLeod said. “So, he doesn’t want his actions to become common knowledge because he knows that there are so many abolitionists in the city that it could become a PR disaster for him.”

In 1793, Washington signs the Fugitive Slave Act into law, which helps slaveholders recapture enslaved people who have escaped.

FISA authorizes a specific court to authorize warrants, the FISC, however the article looks directly at the NSAs role who is not affiliated with or charged by FISC, but through warrants and direction of the FBI. The FBI is not very scary since people normally associate them with protection of national interests, so instead the article only mentions who the tasking authority and holder of the warrant actually is. The article uses key terms specifically to get a reaction from a small subset as click bait without even providing accurate information about the topic. It’s lazy and uninformative.

I use pihole. It’s external to a browser extension and performs the same without the in browser complaints about using an ad blocker.

Oh, thank you so much. I don’t follow the whole Joe Rogan thing so I wasn’t familiar with him claiming to be a liberal. I thought he stuck to the conservative/libertarian thing and wasn’t trying to convince people he was something else. Thanks! TIL

You know there’s a big difference between a liberal and libertarian, right?

Libertarian - an advocate or supporter of a political philosophy that advocates only minimal state intervention in the free market and the private lives of citizens.

Liberal - a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare.

I think if you’re a right winger who smokes weed, that makes you a libertarian, not a liberal.

There’s an article, but the tldr is… In 1906, 51 years after the losers lost, the daughters of the confederacy wanted to remind Black people where their place was.

There are no noise-cancelling headphones to stop the U.S. Navy’s 235-decibel pressure waves of unbearable pinging and metallic shrieking. At 200 Db, the vibrations can rupture your lungs, and above 210 Db, the lethal noise can bore straight through your brain until it hemorrhages that delicate tissue. If you’re not deaf after this devastating sonar blast, you’re dead.

Wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. My wife recently bought the kids the original to play in the car while on road trips, so hearing it in the background while the kids laugh at it was a good refresher before watching this last night.

It’s nostalgia, plain and simple. The throwbacks to the original characters, like Roxanne and Monique were fun with a few sensible chuckle level of jokes, but overall it’s not something that would even be remotely fun if it wasn’t for the nostalgic bit that reminds you of the original.

The evil part is having laws like this and then filling in their water sources with concrete.

The Supreme Court has adopted its first code of ethics - https://one.npr.org/i/1212836705:1212836706

This article does a pretty good job of going over the important parts of Article 2 of the US judicial code and talks about how Congress could regulate the Supreme Court as it does all other Federal courts. It would just take appointing an inspector general to enforce article 2 that already exist for lower courts.

The regulation would still maintain an independent decisional authority in the same vein is how they regulate the number of justices currently on the Supreme Court. The regulation itself would have nothing to do with the way that the justices reach their decisions, but would only cover their conduct outside of the court. The law is already in place, Congress just hasn’t put the mechanism in place to enforce it.

That being said, they can’t even pass resolutions in order to stop the time change which has near unanimous support across the population and all our other branches of government. It’s my firm belief that the opposite of pro is con, so the opposite of progress must be…

The policy, agreed to by all nine justices, does not appear to impose any significant new requirements and leaves compliance entirely to each justice

Nothing. They did absolutely nothing. No new rules and they can just not follow them if they want. Toothless and pointless pandering.

“To condemn Hamas is a good thing,” said Elrabieey, a native of Egypt and a visiting scholar in Tulane’s Middle East and North African Studies program. “But at the same time, if you didn’t condemn Israel for committing war crimes, this is a double standard.”

At least one person there has a good grasp.
