GOVERNACIDE: “End the Scourge” by letting people be free
Tuesday, September 24, 2024Fentanyl – Which Candidate Can End the Scourge?
Trump and Harris place the blame and solution in different places.
John Klar — Sep 18, 2024
*** begin quote ***
Among the odd exchanges between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris at their first and perhaps only debate before Election Day was a dispute over who would better protect Americans from the growing scourge of illegal substances, especially fentanyl. This issue is of top concern to millions of Americans who have suffered the loss of a loved one to this deadly drug, largely imported from Mexico. How will these candidates measure up for this demographic in November?
As Americans weigh the respective offerings of the 2024 party platforms, differing prescriptions for abortion, economic growth, foreign policy, and border security vie for favoritism among voters. The irreversible, life-changing trauma of losing a child, parent, or sibling to pernicious fentanyl or other opioids is, for many, an issue of the highest priority – cutting across party loyalties and hardly confined to undecided independents.
*** end quote ***
As a little L libertarian, and having lost a family member to drugs and raising a child injured by per-natal drug use, I think and believe that the the Gooferment must admit it is powerless to “solve” the problem. “They” can’t keep drugs out of prison so how do they expect to do it in a free society? My “solution” is to let the free market operate. Walmart, Walgreens, and Amazon will make the “illegal drugs” clean, safe, and cheap. Then, we can focus all the wealth wasted of “prohibition” on making resources available to those who want to get “clean”. Will people still die from “drugs”? Absolutely! But they won’t be “accidental” from fentanyl in their heroin. Sorry to be the bearer of “bad news”, but it’s completely out of our control what free people can put in their own bodies. Let’s make addiction as “safe” as possible.

GUNS:The unsubstantiated word of any politician, in this case Kamala Harris, is worse than hearsay

What We Don’t Know About Kamala’s Gun Ownership
By Cam Edwards | 4:30 PM | September 21, 2024
*** begin quote ***
So, we still don’t know much about Harris’ handgun, if it actually exists. Even if she doesn’t want to give free advertising to a particular gun company, there are still plenty of things she could tell us about her gun ownership, including:
- How often does she go to the range to practice and train with her gun?
- Is her pistol available to all gun-buyers in California, or is it an “off roster” gun available only to law enforcement?
- What’s the magazine capacity of the pistol?
- Why did she choose to purchase a firearm? Was there a specific incident that caused her to become a gun owner, or just a general need to protect herself?
- Why does she continue to own a gun now that she has Secret Service protection?
- What factors did she consider when purchasing a gun?
- Did she try out multiple guns before making her purchase?
None of these are “gotcha” questions. If Harris really is a gun owner, they should all be easy to answer.
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but the unsubstantiated word of any politician and | or bureaucrat is one step below “hearsay evidence”. Inadmissable, in my “court of public opinion”. We all know that politicians and bureaucrats say all sorts of things. Fact checked or not, I want proof. Especially about this “gun claim”.
Argh!

ENCOURAGING: In her digging, Sharyl Attkisson finds that Federally-Funded Study Data is hidden?
Monday, September 23, 2024Update on the Amish Approach to Covid
As a result of my challenges, journal makes multiple corrections to scientific article
Sharyl Attkisson
Sep 15, 2024
*** begin quote ***
Can Data From Federally-Funded Study Be Kept Hidden?
In response to my request to see study supporting materials, data, and communications, which the public owns since it was a taxpayer-funded study (and the tenets of solid science require transparency so that any findings can be replicated), West Virginia University stalled and then eventually provided only heavily-redacted materials that revealed very little except that several other observers had also questioned the study.
According to Springer Nature, “Journal of Religion and Health has a research data policy which encourages authors to publish data in a public repository where possible, but does not require that they do so.”
The National Science Foundation, which used US taxpayer money to fund the questioned study, provided no meaningful information when asked.
*** and ***
And, most important of all, why were the most significant takeaways of international interest seemingly ignored including that the researchers found no evidence that the Amish suffered more harm for not having shut down schools, businesses and church; for not isolating, masking or social distancing; for not Covid testing and vaccinating; and for not having spent a great deal of public funds on various measures.
*** end quote ***
I hope, that among the many things that DJT promises to change, the “liberation” for Federally-Funded Study Data is madated.
We already know that there is a cover up of the disastrous effects of the Covid “vaccine”. That’s no surprise. What is surprising is that the Amish stayed open and true to their beliefs and demonstrated that there wasn’t any adverse impact.
Argh!

GUNS: Guns, even pellet guns, are always deemed to be loaded … … PERIOD!
Sunday, September 22, 2024Boy Given 1% Chance of Survival Walks 5k for Hospital That Saved Him–After Air Rifle Shot to the Head as Baby
By Good News Network – Sep 8, 202
*** begin quote ***
Harry Studley was just 18-months-old when a 24-year-old neighbor was cleaning his air rifle in 2016 and aimed it at the crying toddler, saying he thought it was unloaded. The pellet lodged in Harry’s brain causing a displaced skull fracture, as well as swelling and bleeding on the brain.
Harry was given a one percent chance of survival, but pulled through. He was left with serious conditions, though, and still suffers epilepsy, partial blindness, weakness, and some cognitive issues.
*** end quote ***
Why, in Heaven’s name, would you ever aim a gun at a toddler — FOR ANY REASON?
The fact that this occurred in the “gun control” UK is astonishing.
First rule of gun safety is that they are ALWAYS to be pointed in a safe direction. Second, they are always treated as if they are loaded and ready to fire.
Growing up, (mostly) boys brought guns to school as part of a shooting team. Guess in the name of “gun control”, now children don’t learn about these tools and the safety rules.
Argh!

POLITICAL: Ask Harris — “Why did you lie to the American people about Biden’s deteriorating mental health?”
Saturday, September 21, 2024https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/wayne-root-president-trump-called-me-right-after/
WAYNE ROOT: President Trump Called Me Right After Debate. I told Him ABC Clearly Gave Kamala Harris All the Questions in Advance.
by Assistant Editor Sep. 11, 2024 12:40 pm
*** begin quote ***
Clearly only 2 things happened before last night’s presidential debate…
Either Kamala’s best friends who run ABC gave her all the questions in advance of the debate…
Or Team Kamala gave the questions they wanted asked to ABC.
I told President Trump the exact same thing last night, right after the debate. What happened last night wasn’t normal. More importantly, Kamala’s debate performance wasn’t possible- not without a lot of help from her friends.
*** and ***
I told him he won- because no matter how negative the questions, no matter how vicious and biased the moderators, no matter how hateful Kamala was…in the end, all that matters, all that will resonate…are the four issues most middle class Americans care about…
And you won on those four issues all night long: the economy, inflation, crime and the open border disaster.
That’s it. That’s all that matters. And you won on those four issues. Most Americans are with you. All the rest is B.S. and will be forgotten.
*** and ***
*Who is really running the country?
*Why did you lie to the American people about Biden’s deteriorating mental health?
*Inflation is killing American families. It was close to -0- when you took over. What did you do wrong?
*Why do you support giving citizenship to every illegal alien and free healthcare to all of them, while taking away private healthcare from American citizens?
*Do you feel responsible for all the women and children murdered by illegal aliens you and Biden welcomed into our country?
*Do you see Venezuelan prison gangs taking over entire blocks of U.S. cities?
*Why do you support letting transgender illegal aliens into our country, and asking US taxpayers to pay for their sex change operations?
*Why are you and Biden against free speech? Why do you order censorship of conservatives and critics?
*You say you support women’s rights, so why do you want boys to play women’s sports, and take away scholarships from girls?
*You say Trump incited an insurrection, but didn’t you do exactly that by egging on BLM rioters, and trying to raise money to bail out BLM criminals, rioters, looters and torchers?
*** end quote ***
Well, the “sorority connection” and Donna Brazile’s involvement certain make me question the “fairness”?
I won’t forget the topic (questions) that weren’t asked.
The National Debt, the unfunded liabilities, the continuing deficit spending, and the resulting inflation.
Argh!

NEWJERSEY: Why does the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerzee have a “death tax”
Friday, September 20, 2024https://watsoncoleman.house.gov/contact/share-your-opinion
TO: Bonnie Watson Coleman
I’m probating a small estate under 15k for my now deceased cousin … …
… … and you can’t believe what a giant hassle it is.
Why does NJ have a “death tax” in the first place?
Why don’t we have a threshold (i.e., 25k$, 100k$, 1M$) like the Federal or other States do?
My vote in the next election will be based on this. Yes, I can be a single issue voter. And, yes, l am a fat old white guy retired injineer who’s a poor old senior citizen on a fixed income who ALWAYS votes. And, I share my “recommendations” with any of my family and friends I connect with.
# – # – # – # – #
Let’s see what I get in response and how quickly?
Any bets?
I’d say the over under on “no response by” Election Day is 50/50!
We will see.
And, I am really POed about the estate hoops.
Argh!

ENCOURAGING: 4-year-old Girl Uses Alexa to summon help
Friday, September 20, 2024Quick-thinking 4-year-old Girl Uses Alexa to Call for Help as Mom Suffers Epileptic Seizure
By Andy Corbley – Sep 5, 2024
*** begin quote ***
When Lyla Leathem saw her mom collapse into an epileptic seizure, she remained calm and knew just what to do.
She knew she was supposed to call her great-grandmother—but her mom Leah’s phone was locked. The four-year-old ran upstairs and asked Amazon Alexa to make the call instead.
Mother Leah Bigg had fallen unwell at her home in Somerset on August 25th. Family members had previously shown Lyla how to use Alexa for phone calls as her mom often suffers from seizures at night which can be life-threatening. But they had no idea the youngster had listened—until she was called into action.
*** end quote ***
Sharp that a four year old could take action; most wouldn’t have the capability of finding an alternative.
One can question the living arrangements that made this necessary, but that doesn’t detract from a resourceful child’s action in a crisis.

Checked out the article.
Disagree with “cheating Android” dirty old men. Android has locking apps for a while. Since I give Daniel my phone sometimes, I locked my bank, Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes, and Spirit Halloween apps. He know to put stuff in the cart but not how to “buy now” ••• … yet.
I don’t see anything in iPhotos that is “terrible”, but neither Android or iPhone allow tags on photos. That’s annoying and cumbersome. Sigh!
Nothing else to report on in this “news”. No misspellings to give away that it’s AI written.
As far as AI is concerned, I don’t find any compelling use case for it. So I give it a big “meh”.

DISCOURAGING: Pink and blue pigeons; as if balloons weren’t bad enough for the wildlife

Blue pigeon mystifies town’s residents
4 days ago << 2024-09Sep-06 >>
Charlotte Andrews
BBC News
*** begin quote ***
Several sightings of a blue pigeon wandering around a town’s streets have baffled residents.
The bird has been photographed by a number of people in Maidenhead, Berkshire.
Some locals insisted the bird’s unique plumage looked natural.
But wildlife experts suggested it could have been dyed for a gender-reveal party – a tradition where expectant couples learn the sex of their baby using pink or blue items.
*** and ***
Rebecca Machin, from the RSPCA’s wildlife team, warned dye could cause birds health problems, impair their ability to fly and make them more vulnerable to predators.
“Dye and paints can be toxic to birds and other animals, and they would be likely to try to clean any such substance from their coat or feathers which could result in them swallowing it,” she said.
She also said she feared social media trends could be fuelling the behaviour.
“We suspect this pigeon’s feathers have been painted – something we seem to be hearing about more and more, including – anecdotally – at events like gender reveal parties,” she said.
*** end quote ***
Oh come on people, leave the wildlife alone.
Balloons are bad enough for power lines, birds, and fish. Now you have to maim some poor birds.
How about you stick to exploding blue or pink powder packs? At least, you can only hurt yourself.
Argh!

RANT: Social Security Insurance is just a racist inter-generational Ponzi scheme that has zero chance of “success”
Wednesday, September 18, 2024Just saw you 8/11 reply to my “no tax on sosec” comment
*** begin quote ***
It’s a solid plan if they increase the current security tax on high earners, otherwise it’s an untenable solution. Seems to be some support to raise SS tax on earners above the $165k threshold and again at $250 which would keep SS solvent for a few more decades
*** end quote ***
Raising taxes on “high earners” is just giving the Gooferment more money to waste.
Recognizing that Social Security “Insurance” is just a racist inter-generational Ponzi scheme that has zero chance of “success” like any Ponzi scheme.
Note that FDR chose the word “insurance” very carefully because at that time “insurance” was highly regarded as “safe”. He knew full well that this was a fraud because there was nothing “saved” to pay benefits. It should have been obvious to the rubes when the first (white) woman “retired” after making one tax payment into “social security insurance”.
I recently read an analysis of one case where the fellow paid in X$ (I can’t find the gripe) and received back about ½X$. That’s nominal dollars with no adjustment for inflation. He ran a simulation if the original X was invested in 50/50 Tbills and S&P500. That portfolio would be valued at about 6X at his retirement. He compared his Z$ monthly benefit with the 4Z$ monthly annuity he should have had.
I have also read many times that Social Security has a negative ROI of between 12 and 40+%.
It’s a national disaster. And, BTW it’s has about 70T$ in unfunded liabilities. No amount of tinkering will save it.
Argh!
# – # – # – # – #
Wish I could find all the things I have read about Social Security.
One time, on a bored commute into NYC for work, I computed that I’d have to live to 132 in order to “steal” back what was “stolen” from me in SSI payroll taxes. And that was on a “nominal basis” with no adjustment for inflation.
Argh!

The rise and rise of mountainside escalators continues in China.
We previously reported on a 688-metre-long (2,260ft) escalator being installed at scenic Enshi Canyon, Hubei province.
Now China has built a 1,100ft (350-metre) escalator costing $2.2 million/£1.6million that takes visitors up Tianyu Mountain in Zhejiang Province – and it even sprays mist on them to keep them cool.

What has the USA built lately? Planes that are defective, cars that burst into flames, roads that are barely drivable.

A 41-year-old father-of-two had to be put on a ventilator after he miraculously survived being stuck in a 15 foot deep ravine for multiple nights without food.
Ian Goodsell, who lives on the big island of Hawaii, was crossing an old bridge near a forest off Kamaili Road when it collapsed underneath him, KITV reported.
‘He fell into a ravine about 15 feet deep and was in there for three nights,’ said Garrett Goodsell, Ian’s brother.

‘If you’re gonna go hiking, and this wasn’t necessarily a hiking trail, and even more so if you’re gonna go out there, make sure you stick to the trails, as much as possible,’ Volpe said. ‘Don’t hike alone, make sure you let people know where you’re going and kind of when you expect to be back.’

POLITICAL: Where have we heard “a massive tax on unrealized gains” before?
Sunday, September 15, 2024Kamala Harris Vows Death Tax Increase
Meagan Dean | Sep 06, 2024
*** begin quote ***
Vice President Kamala Harris is on record in support of a Death Tax hike, including plans to impose a second Death Tax by taking away stepped-up basis when parents die.
Harris’ plans to increase the Death Tax are yet another example of the candidate’s willingness to punish hardworking Americans for their success, this time punitively hitting families experiencing the death of a loved one.
Under current law, the cost basis of assets passing directly to heirs receives a “step-up” to its fair market value. Without stepped-up basis, family-owned businesses would be stranded with a massive tax on unrealized gains after the passing of the owner.
Harris has not been shy in taking ownership of Biden-Harris FY 2025 budget, noting in a March post on X that the budget plan was jointly put forward by her and President Joe Biden.
*** end quote ***
I guess that small family farms and small family businesses are her target!
I can’t imagine that any of the D’s have any knowledge of economics. Certainly demonstrate a lack of understanding of the basics.
What do they think that people will have to do when the owner dies to pay these “thefts”!
The Death Tax is one of the spectacularly unfair taxes. Paid taxes all your life and the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats take another bite when you die.
Argh!

HEROIC: Rikers guard saves 1-year-old child choking on Dorito
Saturday, September 14, 2024Rikers guard saves 1-year-old child choking on Dorito in jail’s visiting room: ‘The baby was turning blue’
By Tina Moore and Zoe Hussain
Published Sep. 14, 2024, 8:33 a.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
A baby’s visit to Rikers Island took a frightening turn last week when the child started choking on a chip — prompting the city’s Boldest to leap into action to save him.
The 1-year-old began turning blue after swallowing a Dorito around 7:40 p.m. Sunday in one of the jail’s visitation areas, where his mom, Savanah Webb, had just finished seeing an inmate.
One correction officer noticed little Demyri Webb struggling.
*** and ***
So he pushed his pinky down into the child’s throat even farther — until he felt the chip move.
“The baby started to wheeze, which told me air was moving in and out,” he said.
Then Demyri spit up, and Barbosa knew the child was in the clear.
*** end quote ***
Great situational awareness.
Heroic, even though his life was not in jeopardy, who would want live with the memory of a child dying in your arms.
I guess he could have opened and airway with a pocket knife. Guess that was then next step after the pinkie try.
Not sure that I would have done it better. And, what about the other people standing around watching. Surprised no one videoed it.
Well done Santos Barbosa, well done.
“… … and this is a weaker argument that is stronger than it appears. Chinese Obligation. The Chinese have a saying that saving a life incurs a two way debt. The one saved owes their life to their savior; doing less would be ungrateful. The one saving owes the saved their continued help lest the save be in vain; doing less would be wasteful of the original act.” — brainy character “Brian” in CHURCH 10●19●62 Volume 1 Page 223

Tayler Hansen Loses YouTube Account Days After He Is Mentioned in a DOJ Indictment as the Victim of an Alleged Crime
by Jim Hoft Sep. 7, 2024 7:30 am
*** begin quote ***
On Wednesday, the Biden-Harris Regime announced it was launching a “whole government action” to purge so-called ‘Russian propaganda’ and ‘disinformation’ ahead of the 2024 election.
Biden accused Russia of a sustained effort to influence the upcoming election, according to CNN and NBC News.
Then, on Wednesday afternoon, the Department of Justice announced that employees from Russia Today’s media outlet had invested in a $10 million scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging.
Crooked AG Merrick Garland announced, “The Justice Department will not tolerate attempts by an authoritarian regime to exploit our country’s free exchange of ideas in order to covertly further its own propaganda efforts, and our investigation into this matter remains ongoing.”
*** and ***
According to the Biden DOJ, the RT employees set up Tenet Media, a media startup company linked to conservative heavyweights Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, Lauren Southern, and Tayler Hanson.
These leading conservative talkers quickly condemned the allegations by Joe Biden’s lawless DOJ.
But the damage was done, and the DOJ tied these prominent conservatives to their latest “Russian scandal.”
It didn’t take long before these conservatives, despite being innocent, were targeted by the social media elites.
On Friday, YouTube banned Tayler Hansen’s account. Tayler had hundreds of videos of his undercover work over the years. Now it is gone. They don’t even warn you so you can save your videos!
*** end quote ***
Sure, and it just so happens that this is right in front of the election.
How about holding announcements until you’ve won in court?
Just because Merrick Garland says something, it must be true.
Argh!

ENCOURAGING: I thought only Batman fought crime sinsle handedly?
Friday, September 13, 2024After Police Didn’t Take it Seriously He Exposed an International Bike Theft Ring on His Own
By Andy Corbley – Aug 30, 202
*** begin quote ***
As one might imagine, the police in counties like Sonoma, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz didn’t listen to him. “We’re not Interpol” they would say.
*** and ***
Hance had been clued into the Colorado bike smuggling ring with a Modus Operandi extremely similar to that of the one he believed was behind the thefts all over California, but was even more bold—bike thieves at one point smashed through the front of a bike shop with a van, loaded up the van with a dozen bikes, and drove off.
As to the California smugglers, Hance believes the man at the end of the trail is operating out of Jalisco, and Hance’s sleuthing turned up perhaps the chief fence on this side of the border. Victoriano Romero—who was then subsequently raided by police and found to be in possession of bikes similar to ones reported stolen on Bike Index, along with $200,000 cash in a strongbox in his San Jose auto shop.
The arrest of Romero hasn’t disrupted the network, and Hance still sees that the Jalisco seller routinely offers high-end bikes for sale on his social media pages: accessible only because Hance uses a VPN to funnel his connection through Mexico.
*** end quote ***
Maybe the politicians and bureaucrats of Sonoma, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz should put Brian Hance in as their Police Commissioner?
I can’t imagine a bigger slap in the face than a private individual cracking international crime rings.

DISCOURAGING: Crime is going up; the stats are being manipulated
Thursday, September 12, 2024ABC’s David Muir Lied About Crime Falling Under Biden-Harris
John R. Lott, Jr. | Sep 11, 2024
*** begin quote ***
DAVID MUIR: “President Trump, as you know, the FBI says overall violent crime is coming down in this country, …”
In fact, Trump was correct about the increase in crime under Biden. While violent crime fell by 17 percent under Trump, Biden has seen it rise by 43 percent.
Muir doesn’t understand what the FBI is measuring. The FBI counts the number of crimes reported to police. Trump was right that less than half of police departments are now giving that data to the FBI, but, more importantly, Trump was discussing what was happening to total crime, not just the number of crimes reported to police.
There are two measures of crime: One, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), counts the number of crimes reported to police yearly.
The other, the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey, asks about 240,000 people each year whether they have been victims of crime, in an attempt to measure both reported and unreported crimes.
We know that crime victims report only about 40 percent of violent crimes and 30 percent of property crimes to police.

Makes you not want to believe anything that they say.
Why report “unemployment nubers”? Just report Social Security Tax Receipts. Because they want to fudge the numbers.
Argh!
We know they don’t enforce the “felon in possession of a firearm”! Why not?

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Why is this a problem that is NOT quickly permitted?
Thursday, September 12, 2024Elon Musk’s Starlink Offers Free Emergency Phone Coverage in Wilderness Areas Worldwide
By Andy Corbley – Sep 2, 2024
*** begin quote ***
The satellite internet service Starlink is seeking approval to facilitate 911 calls from wilderness areas to help improve search and rescue efforts and reduce deaths.
Elon Musk’s satellite constellation has served a variety of publicized uses, like giving Ukrainians the ability to communicate during wartime. The most recent is a partnership between Starlink and T-Mobile seeking FCC regulatory approval for a direct-to-cellular service that would allow those deep in the mountains and forests to reach emergency services.
“SpaceX Starlink will provide emergency services access for mobile phones for people in distress for free,” Musk wrote on his social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
“This applies worldwide, subject to approval by country governments. Can’t have a situation where someone dies because they forgot, or were unable to pay for it.”
Direct-to-cellular functions would have a greater scope than just emergencies. Speaking about their application to the FCC, the chairwoman of the regulatory agency referred to it as the beginning of the “Single-network future” which she described as one in which the user “won’t need to think about what network, where, and what services are available; connections will just work everywhere, all the time.”

Excuse me, but in stead of the the FCC chairwoman “speaking”, why hasn’t this been “approved” without further “Barbara streisand”?
Sorry, but I don’t understand.
Musk made an offer. The response should be: “Go ahead with all due haste”!
Argh!
Argh!

ConspiracyTheories: Are her earings Bluetooth headphones?
Wednesday, September 11, 2024Conspiracy rages among Trump supporters following presidential debate as viewers question Kamala Harris’s earrings

Conspiracy theorists claim they have ‘busted’ Kamala Harris for using a secret earpiece during last night’s presidential debate.
*** end quote ***
I’d have to rate it as a “5. Possible”.
I have no doubt that she received the questions ahead of time. Not that it can be proven. But baring putting the candidates in a soundproof Faraday cage booth and picking questions from a spun barrel, I wouldn’t believe that they weren’t leaked. Where’s the audit firms’, like Price Waterhouse, opinions on the fairness of the debate. They do it for the Oscars and some quiz shows; so why not here.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Mayor lies and security research proves it; guess it is about surpressing free speech
Wednesday, September 11, 2024Researcher sued for sharing data stolen by ransomware with media

The complaint notes that Goodwolf’s sharing of law enforcement data and the alleged plans to create a website for people to see if their data was exposed interferes with police investigations.
The City seeks a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and permanent injunction against Goodwolf to prevent further dissemination of stolen data. Additionally, the City is seeking damages exceeding $25,000.
A reported by NBC4, a Franklin County judge issued the temporary restraining order yesterday, barring Goodwolf from accessing, downloading, and disseminating the City’s stolen data. The order also requires the defendant to preserve all data that was downloaded to date.
In a press conference about the lawsuit, shown below, City Attorney Zach Klein says that the lawsuit is not about suppressing free speech, as Goodwolf can still talk about the leak, but is aimed at preventing him from downloading and disseminating the stolen information.

Of course, it IS about suppressing free speech. Especially when a politician is proved to be a liar! Argh!

INTERESTING: Be careful if you buy pineapple in the evening. you may get “bumped”
Tuesday, September 10, 2024Spanish supermarket shoppers using pineapples to search for love in surprising new craze
- As part of the TikTok craze, singletons have been drawn to branches of the chain Mercadona where it is claimed they can find romance if they visit between 7pm and 8pm and put a pineapple upside down in their trolley.

*** and ***
A social media craze in Spain where people are encouraged to seek out prospective partners in supermarkets with the help of pineapples has led to some chaotic scenes.
In the city of Bilbao, northern Spain, police were reportedly called by workers after a flash mob of hopeful singles packed a Mercadona store and “overwhelmed” it.
The crowd quickly dispersed when officers arrived, and no one was arrested in the incident.
Singletons have been drawn to branches of the supermarket chain, where it is claimed they can find romance if they visit between 7pm and 8pm and put a pineapple upside down in their trolley.

According to surinenglish.com, Lidl has sent a message to all its customers in Spain entitled: “La hora del amor” (the hour of love).
It went on to say, “In this mass mailing, the company invites their customers who are looking for love to come between 6pm and 7pm with a watermelon in your trolley” as a sign that they are looking for a partner.
*** end quote ***
I guess this is better that meeting strangers in a bar. But not as safe as meeting someone in church.
In my day, all the grandmothers would arrange dates for their eligible grandchildren. Often with a chaperone. Not as bad as that scene from the Godfather, Laugh!
Not a bad idea to sell pineapples and watermelons.
