Daughter bought the movie Michael.  It is about Michael Jackson when he was young and right before he broke off on his own. Great movie and the actor portraying Michael did a phenomenal job.

Most parents allow their kids to use far more dangerous equipment such as a smart phone or a computer.....  Without a single thought about their security or harm or safety...
Exactly, there has even been studies done showing social media is the new drug for young people.

Oddly enough, you will always have a "record" the paperwork never just goes away.

I have done jury duty several times, many, if not most, folks on a jury don't belong there.  Couple quick quotes from fellow jury members I served with. " if the police arrested them, they must be guilty"  "If they are black they are surely guilty"
Wrong, in Kentucky,  those paper records are destroyed and eliminated. Again, I know as I use to work for the juvenile court system so once the charges were dismissed, the record no longer exists even the computer record doesn't exist.

You can get on any jury , just tell them what they want to hear.
A good lawyer will ask the right questions to get those they don't want off a jury.

Believe it or not, it's because PL hates black people.
I have nothing against any race, what I do have problems with is any person regardless of what race they are breaking laws. You are the one making it a race issue.

Iranian and Israeli officials are, like Trump, suggesting that a deal is on the way.

“The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has never been closer,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on X. “Pending its finalization, the media should refrain from entering speculation about its content.”

The Israeli minister of defense, Israel Katz, wrote on X that Trump “is currently leading toward an agreement with Iran out of a view of American interests, including the shared interest with Israel — to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons — and we expect him to uphold this principle and additional principles in the realm of missiles and terrorist proxies.”

 On a background call with reporters, a senior administration official characterized the Iran deal as “80, 85%” done, and said leaders “expect to be signing this agreement over the next few days.”

“I feel very good about this deal,” the official said. “I think the president has got us in a very good spot. The negotiating team has got us in a very good spot. But let’s see here. We’re not quite at the finish line yet, but we are very close.”

The official also hinted at some lingering disagreements among key decision-makers.

“Most of the people who have authority within their system want to sign this deal,” the official said, “but not everybody.”

 According to a senior administration official, the current terms of the deal include:

Reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting the blockade.

Dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program, with the U.S. destroying enriched material on-site and taking it out of the country.

A guarantee of “a long-term peace in the region.”

The official added on the background call with reporters that, contrary to some speculation, Iran would not get a payment for signing the deal, but instead would “get rewarded economically for complying with their obligations under the deal.”

“So, if they turn over the nuclear material as promised, they’ll get something,” the official said. “If they dismantle their nuclear program or their nuclear facilities, they’ll get something else if they, you know, really commit to regional peace and stability. They’ll get additional things on top of that.”

Sounds good.
  Trump said signing date TBD.
Said to be in stages where if Iran meets commitments then US gives them concessions-relief from sanctions

 Trump says U.S.-Iran deal is close; Pakistani PM says ‘final, agreed upon text’ reached
After threatening to attack Iran “very hard” yesterday, the U.S. president called off new strikes and said a deal to end the war could be signed this weekend.

Judge Rejects Bid To Stop UFC Fight

The appointee of former President Barack Obama concluded that the two plaintiffs do not have the legal right — known as “standing” — to challenge the event. As a result, he made no ruling on the legality of the planned fight.

But he nonetheless acknowledged the administration’s claim that a ruling halting the event would cause substantial harm to the people involved in the event, including Trump, the fighters and thousands of spectators.


“And then there is the $60 million that the UFC and UFC-affiliated organizations have expended to put on the event,” the judge wrote. “The potential loss of those dollars resulting from a last-minute, court-ordered stoppage cannot be ignored.”
