"...A County Commissioner in North Carolina refused to let dozens of residents speak opposing Flock surveillance at a public meeting this week, instead forcing the group to designate one single spokesperson.
“How many people are here for public comment dealing with license plate readers AKA Flock?,” Michael Garrison, the chairman of the Madison County Board of Commissioners began the public meeting by saying. Nearly everyone in the audience’s hand went up. “Probably most everybody. Per our county policy, I’m going to respectfully ask that you guys take a few minutes to converse with each other, designate one person to speak … we’ll move forward with only one person, whoever that happens to be.”
“What? No. We all want to speak on this,” someone in the crowd said; others can be heard trying to object as well.
“You will not speak on Flock tonight,” he responds. “One person designated. You can pick that person … if I gave everyone three minutes to say the same thing, which is opposition to Flock, we’d never get done … I’ve spoken. I’m not debating this. I am taking advantage of our policy as it is written to streamline this process, you can either do it or not.”
“You’re in a room full of people who care!,” a person in the crowd says.
“We’re not going to engage in this back-and-forth conversation,” he responds. “We’re going to allow one person. Pick a person or not.”..."

“They did that because the Iranians believe that Trump is legitimately mentally ill and is operating in an impaired mental state. And they didn't say this as a joke, they didn't say this with any lightness.”

Trouble is, we had all that already until trump trashed it. This is nothing but a face saving surrender on our part. We lost.
I don't think we were destroying their material and I think they still had centrifuges, but I can't say I know all of the details of the specific deal we had with them before this all started.

"...Botched paperwork set to flip red state seat blue
Florida Democrats got a surprise bit of good news on Friday: they're running unopposed in a heavily Hispanic, Orlando-area state House district currently held by the GOP — because the incumbent Republican failed to file her paperwork properly.
According to Gabrielle Russon of Florida Politics, "Rep. Paula Stark failed to qualify for re-election in House District 47, so Democrats will win back a blue seat they have long sought out."
Stark, a two-term Republican elected in the 2022 GOP wave election and one of the very few Republicans in the legislature to oppose a ban on government-funded diversity parades, did not file her campaign finance disclosure in time for the deadline, meaning that her candidacy was ruled ineligible..."

« on: Today at 07:50:38 pm »That's a fair and reasonable deal if we can get it. I don't give a eff who rules over them. That's the Iranian people's problem. They shouldn't have nukes. North Korea getting them was bad.
I also understand Israel's concerns. They have been attacked and lived with Islamic terrorism for decades and decades. They aren't going anywhere either, at this point. It would be much better for that part of the world to let bygones be bygones and live in peace.
Jews were treated like sh1t on and off again historically, even aside from the holocaust. They were minorities everywhere in a time when minorities weren't treated very well, globally, especially religious minorities.
Trouble is, we had all that already until trump trashed it. This is nothing but a face saving surrender on our part. We lost.

« on: Today at 07:45:33 pm »So you cannot prove what I have said is true. But if you would bother to look and find out, you would realize that Kentucky has a Court Designated Worker program that juveniles who commit crimes if eligible can go through and have charges dismissed and when 18 the paper record is sent to Frankfort to the Administrative Office of the Courts and they shred the records and remove the records off the computer , so prove that I don't know what I am talking about on that. I knew you wouldn't be able to, Tish the wishy washy bitch
“So you cannot prove what I have said is true.”

« on: Today at 07:14:05 pm »Gene Shalit, 'TODAY' show movie critic, dies at 100I didn't realize until news reported it that he was 100.
He stood out from the TV pack with his bowties, bushy moustache and movie reviews studded with cheeky turns of phrase.
Updated June 12, 2026, 6:50 PM EDT
Gene Shalit, a film critic for NBC’s “TODAY” show for four decades who was instantly recognizable for his walrus mustache and fondness for lively wordplay, died Friday, his family said.
Shalit “passed away peacefully today after 100 years of an amazing life,” his family told NBC News in a statement.
Shalit started as a part-time “TODAY” show contributor in 1970 before moving to a full-time role three years later. He earned national fame as the program’s go-to movie reviewer, offering his take on summer blockbusters, awards contenders and other big-screen projects until his retirement in 2010.
“The ‘TODAY’ Show was an extraordinary era for him,” his family said in its statement.
