I wonder why he was grabbed, locked up, indicted, trialed and sentenced all in only 2 years. His buddy was wrapped up even earlier with a plea bargain. Looks like both were juveniles at the time of the crime.

Paper cuts. So many police, etc. have quit that instead of actual firing/layoffs. the city just don't hire replacement and thus can claim to have reduced the budget.
Just another political magic trick, watch the hands...

25 years ought to provide a good amount of time to polish up the Spanish. Think of it as extra credit. Some of the vocabulary may be different on the inside but the grammar will be the same.

[AwfulAnnouncing] ‘Fake it till you make it’ might not be what they teach in journalism school, but Charissa Thompson has been forced to lean into the aphorism on live TV.
Sideline reporters have a tough job, they’re tasked with getting insight from players and coaches who usually don’t want to offer up any information. Thompson, however, has a trick for sideline reporters. If the coach isn’t giving you any useful information to repeat on a broadcast, just make something up.
Earlier this week, Thompson joined Barstool’s Dan Katz and PFT Commenter on Pardon My Take, and during the interview, she explained how to give a sideline report when you have nothing to report.
“I’ve said this before,” Thompson noted. “I haven’t been fired to saying it, but I’ll say it again. I would make up the report sometimes, because A, the coach wouldn’t come out at halftime, or it was too late and I didn’t want to screw up the report. So I was like, ‘I’m just gonna make this up.’

She ought to be ready for a network anchor slot with that type of training. Hopefully, she just slathered some platitudes onto some cliches and no one would know the better. Maybe should could be a press secretary.

[Breitbart] The U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) is once again set to make a major abortion ruling ahead of a presidential election. And my new book contains fresh information about the controversial abortion drug facing an ultimate decision from SCOTUS. I struggle with being a shill for Breitbart authors.
Controligarchs: Exposing the Billionaire Class, Their Secret Deals, and the Globalist Plot to Dominate Your Life uncovers never-before-reported details about the elite interests that profit from birth control methods like drugs, contraceptives, and abortions.
This all comes on the heels of the abortion lobby’s victories last Tuesday. In Ohio, abortion rights supporters won a ballot measure, Kentucky’s Democratic governor was reelected on a pro-abortion platform, and a Pennsylvania Supreme Court seat was won by a Democrat after pledging to uphold abortion rights. These pro-abortion victories are spurring attempts for ballot measures in several swing states: Arizona, Florida, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. And abortion is a major moneymaker for the Controligarchs.
The book not only reveals the secret attempts by billionaires such as George Soros and Warren Buffett’s to make huge amounts of money through a controversial abortion drug “RU-486” via a shell corporation in the Cayman Islands, but also how that pill was brought to market thanks to shadowy deals made between the Rockefeller Foundation and President Bill Clinton’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Last November, the Alliance Defending Freedom representing a group of pro-life medical organizations sued the FDA for its Clinton-era approval of the abortion-inducing mifepristone drug (also known as RU-486). In April, a federal district court in Texas ruled against the FDA’s “unlawful approval” of mifepristone.
In September, Biden’s Justice Department and the drug’s manufacturer asked SCOTUS to reverse the lower court’s ruling that restricted access to mifepristone. SCOTUS has not yet determined the final fate of the drug, though abortion advocates, including more than 600 Democratic lawmakers across 49 states, have implored the court to allow the drug to remain available and distributed via organizations like Planned Parenthood.
Against this backdrop, the revelations in Controligarchs about how the abortion-inducing drug was developed, how it came to market, and how it created a secret stream of profits to billionaires such as Soros and Buffett, could not be timelier.
Mifepristone, or RU-486, is an abortifacient (or abortion-inducing) drug with origins dating back to the 1980s. It was brought to America in the 1990s by German pharmaceutical conglomerate Hoechst AG in partnership with the Rockefeller Foundation’s Population Council.
Upon his inauguration in January 1993, President Clinton immediately signed multiple executive orders making abortion access more widely available. One of these orders opened the door for the sale of abortion-inducing drugs like RU-486. The Rockefeller’s Population Council and Hoechst sprang into action and began meeting with Clinton’s FDA in April 1993.
The Jerusalem Post reported that “the Rockefeller Foundation also supported German eugenics, even funded the ‘program that Josef Mengele worked in before he went to Auschwitz.’” In 2021, the Rockefeller Foundation distanced itself from its eugenics history. “The Rockefeller Foundation is currently reckoning with our own history in relation to eugenics,” foundation president Rajiv Shah wrote.
The Spring 1993 meetings with Clinton’s FDA culminated in Hoechst’s decision to donate “its patent rights for RU-486 to the Population Council, with the understanding that the Council would take the steps necessary to bring the drug to market.”
After the Clinton administration signaled approval for RU-486, the Rockefeller Foundation’s Population Council licensed the patent rights to a group called Danco Laboratories. Danco then made alliances with pro-abortion groups such as the National Abortion Federation, Planned Parenthood of America, and the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League.
Controligarchs sifts through a mountain of obscure records and confirms that Danco Laboratories was a for-profit venture, secretly established in the Cayman Islands in 1995. Danco Laboratories’ investors were none other than George Soros, Warren Buffett, and other billionaire elites.
Drug-induced (or chemical) abortions now account for more than half of all abortions in the US. A study cited in one of the Texas court filings under review by SCOTUS concluded that drug-induced abortions—like those using mifepristone—come with a risk of adverse events that is “fourfold higher” than surgical abortions, including much greater risks of “hemorrhaging, incomplete abortion, and unplanned surgical evacuation.”
And 77.1 percent of mifepristone patients reported post-abortion pain compared with 10.5% of surgical patients, the suit alleged. A SCOTUS decision on mifepristone’s fate is expected in the coming months.
[DM] World's biggest brewer reports 13.5% slump in revenue in the third quarter
The US chief marketing officer of Anheuser-Busch InBev is stepping down amid the company's continuing slump in sales, following Bud Light's disastrous collaboration with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney earlier in the year.
Benoit Garbe is set to leave his role at Bud Light's parent company at the end of the year, it was announced Wednesday, 'in order to embark on a new chapter in his career.'
Serving as the company's CMO for just over two years, his tenure was marred by an April marketing debacle where a Bud Light partnership with Mulvaney led to a boycott by the brand's customers and a significant loss in revenue.
In third quarter returns reported Tuesday, the summer slump continued as the company suffered a 13.5 percent drop in revenue per 100 liters, a key measure for beer sales.
Bud Light, a subsidiary of Anheuser Busch InBev, lost its 22-year long title as America's favorite beer earlier this year as it suffered a financially devastating summer
[Athens Banner-Herald] One of the biggest holiday traditions in the U.S. is gathering with friends and family for a Thanksgiving Day meal. Yet some families may need help making that tradition happen.
In Athens, many churches, restaurants and nonprofits will offer free sit-down Thanksgiving Day meals to the public so that everyone may enjoy the holiday and give thanks.
For example, Chuck's Fish Athens, along with FIVE Athens, is hosting a free sit-down Thanksgiving Feast that includes ham, turkey, mashed potatoes and the works.
"It's an opportunity to just break bread," said Erin Barfield, corporate manager at Chuck's Fish/FIVE Bar. "It's what we love about restaurants."
The Thanksgiving Feast is supported by Chuck's Fish's non-profit, American Lunch, which serves free meals throughout the year via their mobile truck.
Managers Tyler Shelnutt, of Chuck's Fish, and Jack Vendetti, of FIVE Athens, will corral a crew of volunteers from kids to professional servers employed at their restaurants to serve assembly-line Thanksgiving food for anyone to sit down and enjoy.
The food is prepared and served by volunteers at Chuck's Fish Athens, located on West Broad Street. The Thanksgiving Feast runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and to-go boxes are available.
Donations will also be accepted at the event in cash, check or electronic cards. Donations will support Project Safe, a nonprofit in Athens that offers services and clothing for women affected by domestic violence. Last year over $4,000 was donated, Shelnut said.
[Fox] TSA reminds travelers to know the contents of their carry-on bag prior to coming to the airport.
A Florida man was apprehended by TSA officers at Raleigh County Memorial Airport in West Virginia on Monday after attempting to bring a loaded pistol onto a plane, according to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
In a press release, the TSA stated the incident happened when one of its officers spotted the gun in the checkpoint X-ray machine.
A deputy was quickly alerted and upon investigation, allowed the man to return the gun to his vehicle. However, TSA says the man now faces a stiff federal financial penalty for bringing his weapon to the airport.
"We are continuing to see this be an issue as people seemingly forget that they are carrying firearms with them. There is a proper way to travel with firearms, and we will continue to amplify that," TSA Press Secretary Carter Langston told Fox News Digital.

The TSA doesn't have the authority to arrest people caught trying to board a plane with a gun. Nor can they confiscate the gun.
They have to refer the matter to the local police. In southern states, especially at smaller airports, it's not unusual for the police to allow the person to return the gun to their vehicle and not press charges.
OTOH, the person will not be allowed to fly that day and they face civil penalties up to about $15,000.00.

It would not have been an issue on an Allegheny flight. RIP

In a country awash in violent crime that the authorities don't seem to care about (except to whine about the need for more "gun laws") I'd like to see a "no harm done, no crime chargeable" blanket rule.

A 12 person, mostly white, jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict in the civil trial of former officer Brett Hankison on Thursday
Hankison was charged with using excessive force against Breonna Taylor, her boyfriend and her next-door neighbors over a fatal raid in March 2020
Jurors were urged to find a resolution by U.S. District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings, but returned the hung verdict prompting her to declare a mistrial
[Gateway] A little Michigan town with just over 2,500 people took a bold stand for the Second Amendment earlier this week to protect its citizens against unconstitutional gun grabs.
As The Midwesterner reported, the Holton Township Board of Trustees adopted a resolution Tuesday declaring the township a Second Amendment Sanctuary and an addendum establishing its own township militia.
The Daily Mail reported that the board passed the legislation with four members of the board agreeing with the change, while Treasurer William Halbower was absent from the vote.
Supervisor Alan Jager, Trustee Tammy Jager, Trustee Chris Thompsen, and Clerk Malinda Pego all supported the measure.
The resolution declares the town, which is based in Muskegon County, will not enforce gun control measures which include red-flag laws restricting gun and ammunition possession.

Cause back in 1639 felons were hung. There was no institutional prison system to store sociopaths away. Dead people don't need guns. Of course, they do still vote in Chicago.
