DARLINGTON COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) - Two former corrections officers in Darlington County have been arrested after being found with marijuana on the grounds of the county jail, according to authorities.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division said 21-year-old Eunisha Campbell and 27-year-old Jade Scarborough are both charged with misconduct in office and possession of marijuana.
According to warrants obtained by WMBF News, the two women were are accused of possessing and using marijuana in the parking lot of the W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center in October.
The warrants also state both women "did intentionally and willfully engage in acts of malfeasance and nonfeasance" in breach of their duties. Authorities cited an alert from a drug detection canine, probable cause searches and video evidence that resulted in their arrests.
Campbell and Scarborough were booked into the W. Glenn Campbell Detention Center on Wednesday following their arrests. They’ve since been released on bond. The 4th Circuit Solicitor’s Office will prosecute the case.
This marks the second and third arrests of corrections officers in Darlington County this month.

There have been a series of problems here in the last couple years with female corrections officers going bad. I would say that no way in hell should a 21 year old woman be working as a prison guard.
[BREITBART] concealed carry permit holder shot and maimed two alleged car thieves Saturday just after 3:30 a.m. in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... The concealed carrier was walking "to his car from the Cambria Hotel, 32 West Randolph" when someone in a red SUV allegedly shot at him, CWBChicago noted.
ABC 7 reported the concealed carrier pulled his gun and returned fire, striking two individuals who sought medical treatment for gunshot wounds.
Both suspects were taken into custody when they sought medical help.

I understand the situations but what's the problem?

The concealed carrier wasn't arrested? What is Chicago coming to?
And how was he able to get a permit?
Besides, the other guys shot at him and missed. Did he have any reason to shoot back?

[LI] The Gibsons have collected the over $36 million owed them. Sadly, David Gibson and "Grandpa" Allyn Gibson did not live to see this day. By stretching out the appeals Oberlin College waited them out, but the rest of the family survives. We wish the Gibson family well.
The last we checked in on Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin College, the Ohio Supreme Court refused to hear Oberlin College’s appeal, ending the college’s fight to overturn the massive jury verdict. The $25 million verdict plus interest and attorney’s fees resulted in an almost $32 million judgment, with interest running at about $4000 per day since June 2019. In all, over $36 million was owed, secured by an appeal bond.
While Oberlin College announced, after the Ohio Supreme Court ruled, that it had agreed to pay the judgment, in fact it did so out of legal compulsion, not good faith. The Gibsons were poised to execute on the appeal bond. As we noted at the time, Oberlin College, even in legal defeat, refused to apologize or acknowledge it did anything wrong:
Notice what is not in the statement: An apology. Oberlin College still appears not to understand or accept what it did wrong. It considers itself the victim. Procopius2k submitted the same article under the headline “Small victory in a never ending war”.

I haven't seen much about how the community at large there is treating the business or its owners since all this went down. If it was me, I'd have a problem with any student, faculty, staff or family of the above on my premises for fear of some sort of set-up. I'm sure they have both supporters and detractors over the whole mess.
If it was me, I'd move on rather than wait for something bad to happen.

Oberlin used the publicity of this case well it seems.
They had about 10k applicants for fall 2022 and about 900 were selected. Both numbers are records. So a lot of high school students and their parents wanted to be associated with this College.

Oberlin has the cash to pay out $36 million? Bet they have to raise tuition and student parking fees a bit after that.

I grew up a bit north of Oberlin and was down there a lot. Then - and my understanding is that this has not changed - is that the locals and the college hate one another and it's only gotten worse over time - the students and faculty consider the locals unwashed and unintelligent rednecks who are only good for cleaning up after them. The locals have staunchly supported the Gibsons, but I have heard that the fight, though ultimately victorious, may have broken the business. I sincerely hope not.
[NYPOST] The head of a conservative Christian group in Virginia is speaking out after members of her organization were turned away from a restaurant based solely on their religious views.
Victoria Cobb, president of the non-profit Christian lobbying organization Family Foundation of Virginia, told Fox News Digital that several members of her group were scheduled to hold a private event at a side room at Metzger Bar and Butchery in Richmond, Virginia when they received a call an hour and a half before the reservation saying their reservation had been canceled.
The reason given for the cancelation, according to Cobb, was that a member of the staff at the restaurant had looked up the organization’s website, which states that the group advocates "for policies based on Biblical principles that enable families to flourish at the state and local level", prompting the wait staff to refuse to serve the group.
"It’s alarming and disgraceful that a restaurant has a religious or political litmus test for who gets in the door," Cobb told Fox News Digital. "I think people will find that very disturbing."
Metzger Bar & Butchery acknowledged in a social media post that they had in fact canceled the reservation due to the religious beliefs and political advocacy of the foundation.
"Metzger Bar and Butchery has always prided itself on being an inclusive environment for people to dine in," the post said. "In eight years of service, we have very rarely refused service to anyone who wished to dine with us. Recently we refused service to a group that had booked an event with us after the owners of Metzger found out it was a group of donors to a political organization that seeks to deprive women and LGBTQ+ persons of their basic human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... in Virginia."
The post added that the restaurant has "always refused service to anyone for making our staff uncomfortable" which was the "driving force" behind the decision.
"Many of our staff are women and/or members of the LGBTQ+ community. All of our staff are people with rights who deserve dignity and a safe work environment. We respect our staff’s established rights as humans and strive to create a work environment where they can do their jobs with dignity, comfort and safety."

If christians of all stripe [no papist pun there] began to cancel the fucking place, would it go out of business? Then maybe they should agree and do that. A coordinated cancel of the wretched thing. Until it closes for bankruptcy.
[NYPOST] A judge recently ruled that a former Virginia Tech women’s soccer player can continue a lawsuit against her former coach after she was allegedly benched and pressured to leave the team for declining to kneel during a pregame social justice demonstration.
Kiersten Hening, who was a midfielder/defender for the Hokies from 2018 to 2020, sued coach Charles "Chugger" Aidair in 2021 on First Amendment grounds, which federal Judge Thomas Cullen announced on Dec. 2 can proceed to trial.
Hening alleged that Adair was not a fan of her political views and that she often differed from her teammates on social justice issues during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020.
Hening further explained in the lawsuit that while she "supports social justice and believes that black lives matter," she "does not support BLM the organization," citing its "tactics and core tenets of its mission statement, including defunding the police."
After Hening declined to kneel during a reading of a "unity statement" before a game against UVA on Sept. 12, 2020, she said Adair "verbally attacked" her at halftime, claiming she was "b—tching and moaning" while jabbing a finger in her face.
The coach continued to berate Hening until he benched her and ultimately made things so intolerable that she felt compelled to quit the team, according to the suit.
"Hening, who had been a major on-field contributor for two years prior to the 2020 season, also asserts that Adair removed her from the starting lineup for the next two games and drastically reduced her playing time in those games because she had engaged in this protected First Amendment activity. As a result, Hening resigned from the team after the third game of the season," Cullen noted in his recent ruling.
[FoxNews] Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who was sworn into office on Sunday afternoon, announced her first action in the role on Monday morning will be to declare a state of emergency on homelessness.
The newly appointed mayor said there are over 40,000 homeless people in the city of angels, and the declaration will recognize the issue of homelessness as a crisis.
For the last three weeks, Bass has been working through the transition into office with Mayor Eric Garcetti.
Bass was sworn in as the 43rd mayor of Los Angeles, also becoming the first woman, and second black person to ever serve in that role.

While I am all for offering a helping hand to a person down on their luck and seeking to recover. I do expect an honest effort on their part to try to recover and do something with the helping hand given.

#3 My guess is that will do several things with this decree - it's just that none of it will involve helping ease the homeless crises.

[The Federalist] A new batch of internal Twitter communication records released on Thursday confirm the tech giant has been shadowbanning prominent conservative accounts without users’ knowledge for years, despite former CEO Jack Dorsey previously claiming otherwise.
Released by Bari Weiss, editor of The Free Press, the new "Twitter Files" reveal the company created blacklists designed to prevent certain accounts or posts from trending. Lists were also built to limit the visibility of accounts or tweets Twitter employees deemed unfavorable.
Among the most notable accounts targeted by the platform were prominent conservative figures such as Dan Bongino and Charlie Kirk, with the former’s profile being placed on a "Search Blacklist" and the latter’s being switched to a setting called "Do Not Amplify." Medical professionals were also censored, with Twitter putting the account of Stanford University’s Jay Bhattacharya, one of the authors of the "Great Barrington Declaration," on a "Trends Blacklist," which "prevented his tweets from trending."
[Fox via Last Refuge] Stellantis is a multinational automaker contracted for the electric version of the Jeep Cherokee. Citing high costs to produce electric vehicles, on Friday Stellantis announced a decision to idle the Belvedere, Illinois plant starting on Feb. 28, 2023, and notified 1,350 workers of the layoffs. 1979 Plymouth Horizon pictured here.
"This difficult but necessary action will result in indefinite layoffs, which are expected to exceed six months and may constitute a job loss under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act. As a result, WARN notices have been issued to both hourly and salaried employees," it said. "The company will make every effort to place indefinitely laid off employees in open full-time positions as they become available."
Today The Daily Mail is reporting that production of the electric Jeep will take place in Mexico. No comment from "J. B." Pritzker, billionaire and Illinois governor. No comment from UAW local president.
Hundreds of workers are expected to be laid off when automaker Stellantis closes an assembly plant in northern Illinois early next year, citing the challenge of rising costs of electric vehicle production.
The company, which employs about 1,350 workers at the plant in Belvidere, Illinois, said the action will result in indefinite layoffs and it may not resume operations as it considers other options.
Stellantis said the industry ’has been adversely affected by a multitude of factors like the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the global microchip shortage, but the most impactful challenge is the increasing cost related to the electrification of the automotive market.’
The Belvidere plant, produces the Jeep Cherokee SUV, will be idle starting on February 28, 2023, Stellantis said. The plant in Toluca, Mexico will now produce the vehicles. (read more)
One aspect of this move that deserves additional attention is the U.S. and Canada focus on new energy policy, against the backdrop of Mexico telling the Biden administration the USMCA partner was going to continue development of traditional oil, coal and natural gas energy production.
Should Mexico continue to maintain a more traditional energy policy, they will likely create a greater cost incentive for all manufacturers. With electricity rates skyrocketing in the U.S. and Canada, any energy dependent manufacturer would see an additional advantage to production in Mexico.
It will be worthwhile watching this dynamic closely and seeing what type of pressure the Biden administration will apply to Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador to fall in line.

Industry has been leaving Illinois for over half a century. The furniture factories left Rockford and vicinity in the 1940-1950's. The massive machine-tool industry left in the 1960-1970's. In it's heyday, the Chrysler Belvidere facility employed over 4000 personnel and operated two production shifts. I doubt the electric Jeep SUV's were selling well.
By the way, anyone know how long an unsold EV sitting in factory holding yard holds it's charge in -20 to -30 degree North Illinois weather ?
#2
They've been shedding workers from that plant since late spring '22.
And, depending on how much the initial factory charge (typically 50%) and power setup is, a parked vehicle might theoretically last up to a year under controlled conditions. The new batteries deteriorate faster in heat rather than cold, and Belvedere has plenty of both.

On Nov 8 a majority of Illinois voters voted to prohibit private companies to enact “right to work” policies:
The amendment assures that workers can unionize and bargain on a range of issues affecting economic welfare and safety. It also forbids right-to-work laws for the private sector, which allows people to avoid union dues as a condition of employment?
Just another incentive to bring in business from other states, right Gov. Flintstone?
[CNN] The Artemis I mission — a 25½-day uncrewed test flight around the moon meant to pave the way for future astronaut missions — came to a momentous end as NASA’s Orion spacecraft made a successful ocean splashdown Sunday.
The spacecraft finished the final stretch of its journey, closing in on the thick inner layer of Earth’s atmosphere after traversing 239,000 miles (385,000 kilometers) between the moon and Earth. It splashed down at 12:40 p.m. ET Sunday in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico’s Baja Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,.
This final step was among the most important and dangerous legs of the mission.
NASA's historic Artemis I mission is coming to a close
But after splashing down, Rob Navias, the NASA commentator who led Sunday’s broadcast, called the reentry process "textbook."
"I’m overwhelmed," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said Sunday. "This is an extraordinary day."
The capsule is now bobbing in the Pacific Ocean, where it will remain until Sunday evening as NASA collects additional data and runs through some tests. That process, much like the rest of the mission, aims to ensure the Orion spacecraft is ready to fly astronauts.
The capsule is expected to spend less time in the water during crewed mission, perhaps less than two hours, according to Melissa Jones, the recovery director for this mission.
A fleet of recovery vehicles — including boats, a helicopter and a US Naval ship called the USS Portland — are waiting nearby.
"This was a challenging mission," NASA’s Artemis I mission manager, Mike Sarafin, told news hounds Sunday evening. "And this is what mission success looks like."

Wouldn't a stable, dry platform be better for data collection? NASA doesn't work weekends?

I would recommend Musk as head of NASA; except it would be too burdensome for him to actually function.
I would recommend that NASA have a major re-organization so that (halfway through this I realized that there is no such thing as a re-organization to a Federal Agency!)
[NYPOST] A Japanese space startup launched a spacecraft to the moon on Sunday after several delays, a step toward what would be a first for the nation and for a private company.
ispace Inc’s HAKUTO-R mission took off without incident from Cape Canaveral, Florida, after two postponements caused by inspections of its SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
More than a hundred people at a viewing party in Tokyo roared in applause when the rocket fired and lifted into the dark skies.
"I’m so happy. After repeated delays, it’s good that we had a proper launch today," said Yuriko Takeda, a 28-year old worker at an electronics company who joined the gathering.
"I have this image of the American flag from the Apollo landing, so while this is just the launch, the fact that it’s a private company going there with a rover is a really meaningful step."
