[Red State] Sometimes, you just need to go home and sleep. And if you manage to do it adroitly, you go to a home that’s yours. Allegedly, such expert operation recently eluded an American meat mogul; the result was a calling of cops.
As reported by KNWA, Tyson Foods Chief Financial Officer John R. Tyson went Full Goldilocks Saturday night. John had decided to call it a night and hit the sack. Curiously, he chose a bed that wasn’t his — in a house belonging to a stranger.
Purportedly, a woman living in Fayetteville, Arkansas got home around 2:00 a.m. Sunday and retired to her room. But like one of The Three Bears, she took pause upon discovering someone in her bed.
Officers noticed a few things:
A lack of coordination
Sluggish movements
An odor of alcohol on his breath and body
Could the bigwig have gotten sloshed, found his way to a front door, staggered through a house ’til he found something soft, and transformed his intrusion into a snoozefest? It seems yes. If so, how’d he arrive to the address?
Whichever way it occurred, John was booked into the Washington County Detention Center Sunday. Charged with Public Intoxication and Criminal Trespass, he was let out that evening.
In case you have noticed, whenever food makes the news, it’s generally an interesting ordeal:

Homeowner may have played this one incorrectly. All of this unpleasantness could have been resolved over bacon, eggs, and hot coffee the next morning.
[NYPOST] An Arizona man allegedly killed his 80-year-old roommate, then pawned off the chainsaw he used to dismember him — with human remains still stuck in the blades, reports said.
Thomas Wallace, 58, allegedly hocked a chainsaw that had "an odor of decomposition" and pieces of flesh, ligaments and other biological matter on it, Fox 10 Phoenix reported.
Officials say he cut up an Air Force veteran and stuffed his remnants into trash bags then wrapped them in linens in a Phoenix home they shared, according to Fox 10.
Police were called to conduct a welfare check last week by the vet’s family, who hadn’t heard from him for about a month. Authorities forced their way into the home, which had a "foul odor," and they found trash bags stuffed with body parts and the victim’s decapitated head among linens, the station said.

A little clean-up and possibly a new chain, it could have been a Stihl.
70 years ago, Army Major General Frank E. Lowe was quoted as saying, "The safest place in Korea was right behind a platoon of Marines. Lord, how they could fight." That testimonial rings as true now as it did then, and will remain so tomorrow. As we celebrate the 247th anniversary of our Corps' founding, we reflect on nearly two and a half centuries of exceptional prowess, while also taking objective stock of where we are today and how we will prepare for future battlefields. Our birthday provides us a chance to focus on the one thing common to our success in the past, present, and future: the individual Marine. Victories are not won because of technology or equipment, but because of our Marines.
Since 1775, Marines have fought courageously and tenaciously in every conflict our country has faced. Through the Revolution, the Spanish-American War, World Wars in Europe and the Pacific, conflicts in Korea and Vietnam, and operations in the Middle East, Marines consistently earned a reputation as the world's elite fighting force. We inherit and take pride in this reputation, evolved over time by Marines acquitting themselves with honor and distinction on every battlefield in every clime and place. Battlefields change, and Marines have always adapted to the environment and the changing character of war - but the reason we fight and win is immutable. It's the individual warfighters, and their love for each other, that makes our Corps as formidable a force today as it has been for the past 247 years. It's our ethos and our unapologetic resolve to be the most capable and lethal fighting force that sets us apart from the rest.
Current events around the world remind us that peace is not guaranteed. While we are justifiably proud of our past and pay tribute to the remarkable warfighters who came before us, we understand that the stories of yesterday cannot secure our freedom tomorrow. We must be ready to respond when our Nation calls. It falls on Marines who are in uniform today to write the next chapter of our Corps. The solemn responsibility of maintaining our illustrious warfighting legacy rests upon your shoulders. I know that you are up to that task. The battlefields of tomorrow are uncertain. The future characteristics of warfare are uncertain. But one thing is certain - wherever Marines are called, they will fight and win - today, tomorrow, and into the future.

^^ Thanks Matt. My best friends are Marines to include my twin brother (Matt). A few went on to high rank (a Col and a current 2 star). Me and others did our 4 years (plus reserve time) and enjoyed every minute. I'm fortune in my current work I still work w/ Marines on MSG duty at embassies.
It is not something we do - it is something we are. We don't "join" - we become.

Hats off to this Marine, who I knew when I was very young. He won the Navy Cross on Iwo Jima for some truly insane actions, but he would never tell you about it. Just a good man I've never forgotten.

But a Navy officer I knew thought the Marines had no business being a separate branch of the service, since they were "just assault troops for the Navy." That's one perspective.

The Marines claim that the Navy is just their Uber service. Yeah, well, I've never taken an Uber ride that provided air cover, gunfire support, medical support, resupply, etc., etc.

The USMC was a foundational cornerstone for the rest of my careers, in the USMC, Law Enforcement, the US Army and Homeland Security. Pride, Confidence, Competence, Courage, Fortitude and a wicked ability to mock almost anything.
To quote Eleanor Roosevelt: “The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!”
[RedState] Michigan Republican John James first entered the national scene as he vied for the U.S. Senate seat held by Democrat Debbie Stabenow in 2018. Though he fell short, losing to Stabenow by six-and-a-half points, he was undeterred. In 2020, James challenged Michigan’s other Democrat incumbent, Gary Peters, and came within two points in that race.
The third time apparently is the charm, as the 41-year-old Army veteran and businessman just secured a victory in Michigan’s 10th Congressional District. It was close, but DDHQ has now called the race.
With 95 percent of the vote counted, James leads his opponent, Democrat Carl Marlinga, by half a percentage point (approximately 1,600 votes).
That’s one of several D-to-R flips announced today and, at present, DDHQ is showing a pickup of eight seats for the Republicans.
The anticipated red wave may not have materialized, but Republicans are edging ever closer to regaining control of the House (and wresting the Speaker’s gavel from Nancy Pelosi’s hands).
Unfortunately, there is still time for an extra vote machine, or bins of uncounted votes, or a thumb drive to be found. It ain’t over until the other guy concedes. Here’s hoping Mr. James really does win this time.

Hmmm. Rejecting a black man twice for Senate. Who knew that Michigan was one of the most racist states in the US?

[HODHODYEMENNEWS] The US Department of State confirmed that a US citizen Carly Morris was detained by authorities in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , but did not say whether any American had been able to meet her yet.
"Our embassy in Riyadh is very engaged on this case, and they’re following the situation very closely," State Department front man Ned Price said on Tuesday.
"We were aware of the reports that Ms Morris has been detained," he added.
He stressed, "Whenever a person is detained abroad, we seek immediate access to visit the individual, to aid him or her with all appropriate consular assistance. Our embassy in Riyadh is very engaged on this case; they’re following the situation very closely."

Ah. An obvious spy.
Typically when Americans are detained abroad, the State Department washes their hands of them. They aren't "very engaged" and they don't "follow closely". They hand you a list of local lawyers that is probably out of date and tell you to stop bothering them.

I worked in Saudi for 2 years. You just don't criticize them. It is an absolute monarchy with no bill of rights or anything similar.
Carly should be grateful that she didn't get the Britney Greiner treatment. When you go to another country, know what its laws are; and for Pete's sake obey them while you're there.

For a country that is supposedly bankrupt, they sure do expend a lot of $$$$$ shooting rockets into the sea! And these aren't reusable Space X type rockets.
[ZERO] Currently, US semiconductors are a measly 10% of global production. Most chips are produced in Asia, particularly South Korea and Taiwan, and the Biden administration has pushed the Chips and Science Act to boost development and production domestically.
The CHIPS Act earmarks $52 billion to revert a decades-long trend of US production shifting abroad to low-cost labor regions. There was evidence some of this production is being reshored, according to a WSJ report, revealing Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's largest contract chipmaker, is laying the groundwork for a second US factory in Arizona.
People familiar with the plans told WSJ that TSMC would soon announce one of the most advanced semiconductor plants just north of Phoenix, Arizona, next to another one of its chip factories. They said the investment in the new plant could be upwards of $12 billion, similar to what was committed in 2020 to build the factory beside it.
[Breitbart] More American Jews voted for the Republican party in Tuesday’s midterm elections than they have for the past generation, an exit poll conducted by Fox News showed.
While the vast majority of the Jewish electorate — some 65 percent according to the poll — still vote Democrat, support for the Republican party is steadily rising, with 33 percent of respondents voting red, up from 30 percent in 2020 and 24 percent in 2016.
Two percent identified as "other," the poll showed.
Republican Jewish Coalition national director, Sam Markstein, said Republican "candidates are offering concrete solutions to the issues that matter to Jewish voters."

Despite Donald Trump or because of him? According to the Jewish Virtual Library, which tracks Jewish presidential voting patterns back to the 1916 election, Republican presidential candidates have got between 45% (Hughes in 1916) and 10% (Wilkie, Dewey, and Goldwater) of the Jewish vote.
