A U.S. appeals court rejected a bid by President Biden’s son, Hunter, to dismiss federal gun charges against him brought by special counsel David Weiss, allowing a trial to move forward next month. Hunter Biden was indicted on three felony charges related to his purchase of a Colt Cobra 388PL revolver in 2018 and lying about his drug use on a federal form. CBS News has more.
Now I must emphasise I am not ‘fat shaming’ - people's body size is their own affair, whether intentional or genetic and I would not comment on that. Other than to say, these ‘dine and dash’ ventures have probably reduced their abilities to dash…
Stumbled on this: The murder of the socialite Abby Choi is something straight out of a Chinese drama. She once married into an average-income family. When she divorced her husband, she continued to support his family but when she decided to withdraw her support, her ex-family reacted rather violently. I believe that rituals like these is a way for an entire community to grieve and move on from a traumatic event.
"Yesterday, witnesses established that the paper trail of payments to Trump fixer Michael Cohen, who forwarded the money to Daniels, had been falsified. … A number of observers have suggested that the evidence presented through documents yesterday was not riveting, but historians would disagree."
This is infuriating. This #POScop kicked a passing driver's car, injuring his leg, but he filed a #falsereport that resulted in the driver being #arrested on #felonycharges. It was only #dashcam footage that revealed the truth, and led to those false charges being dropped. But the cop still has a job. He lied, filed a false report, and fully intended to see an innocent man be held accountable for a #crime that never happened. Why TF is he still allow to wear a #badge??
Trump said, "You remind me of my daughter," she's smart and beautiful, and people underestimate her as well. He said Stormy should go on "The Apprentice," said he'd feed her show info.
#DonTheCon trying to bribe and seduce a porn star while his 3rd wife who was an illegal immigrant was at home taking take of their new baby. And christo-fascist love this criminal.
"Judge Merchan has been more than deferential to Trump's status as a former president and candidate. If Judge Merchan fails to punish future violations with confinement, Trump will have established that he is above the law. That is an exception our democracy cannot abide. However difficult and unsettling imprisoning a former president will be, the alternative would be far worse."
"Ivanka Trump wasn’t a private citizen while Donald Trump was in office. She was his Senior White House advisor who received trademarks from China for voting machines, body bags, & caskets."

It's a violation of the Hatch Act.

Au moins 44 journalistes travaillant sur l'environnement ont été assassinés depuis 2009. Vingt-quatre ont survécu à des tentatives de meurtre. C'est ce qu'a rappelé l'Unesco dans un rapport publié hier, à l'occasion de la journée internationale de la liberté de la presse. ☠️
A 45 year old American male has the odds of dying in one year of 0.004137 (less than 1%), and 62 year old has the odds of 0.015702 (less than 2%). The odds of a 45 year old and a 62 year old (who whistleblew on Boeing) dying naturally within 2 months of each other are…not good.
Boeing has 145,000 direct employees of various ages. How many might be lost soon in odds defying ways?
“Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, its forces have committed many heinous war crimes,” said Belkis Wille, associate crisis and conflict director at Human Rights Watch. “The summary execution – or murder – of surrendering and injured Ukrainian soldiers, gunned down in cold blood, expressly forbidden under international humanitarian law, is also included in that shameful legacy.”
"He became known around New Orleans’s Ninth Ward as Robocop, but that wasn’t his only nickname: People also called him the Desire Terrorist."
Congrats to our sister publication, The Atavist Magazine, for publishing its 150th issue! Here's an excerpt from the story, which is about a corrupt cop in #NewOrleans:
