[UNIONLEADER] A Littleton woman allegedly impersonated a Hillsborough County prosecutor when she filed bogus documents with court officials declaring that the drug possession and stalking case against her had been dropped, according to recently released indictments.Lisa Landon, 33, of Railroad Street, Littleton, faces one charge of false personation and six charges of falsifying physical evidence, according to Hillsborough County grand jury indictments handed up earlier this month.
The indictments allege that Landon submitted the fake documents in three different court cases last November and December. In several instances, she used the New Hampshire court system’s electronic system to file documents.
In November, Hillsborough County prosecutors became suspicious when they heard from a state forensic examiner, who had been scheduled to perform a competency evaluation on Landon.
The examiner saw a notice in Landon’s court file that prosecutors had dropped charges; the examiner wanted to know if the examination should go forward.
"The file purported to contain a nolle prosequi (drop the charges) filed by Assistant County Attorney Patrice Casian, but it quickly became evident to the State that the document, as well as other documents in the file, had been filed fraudulently," wrote Superior Court Judge David Anderson in a ruling regarding the case.
Indictments allege Landon also filed an order falsifying a decision of retired Superior Court Judge Gillian Abramson to waive filing fees in a lawsuit she brought against Hillsborough County. And she allegedly filed an order on behalf of a relative to halt guardianship proceedings involving Landon’s child.
Landon’s history includes criminal charges in Manchester related to stalking and possession of methamphetamine.
The grand jury also returned indictments of burglary and theft against Landon. Just like NY Gov Cuomo investigating NY Gov Cuomo's Granny Killer Covid policies and declaring NY Gov Cuomo innocent of all accusations.

[NYPOST] A two-time murderer who’d been released on lifetime parole is back behind bars — after she was arrested on Friday for allegedly shooting a man in the neck during an argument at a Manhattan subway station earlier this month, police said.
Before being released just last year, Rona Love, 59, had spent 25 years in prison for two murders she committed in the 1990s.
She is now charged with attempted murder in an Oct. 18 shooting inside the 1/2/3 station at 14th Street and Seventh Avenue in Greenwich Village, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said on Twitter.
The victim in that attack, a 24-year-old man, managed to walk himself to the nearby Lenox Health Center and has survived.
Police said that Love will also be charged in a recent gunpoint robbery at a souvenir shop in Ridgewood, Queens.
Love — a transgender woman who uses the name "Rona Sugar Love" — had been released from jail in April 2019.
A couple of months later, Love told the New York City Trans Oral History Project that, while behind bars, she was repeatedly sexually and physically abused by other inmates and corrections officers and tried several times to commit suicide.
She and her twin sister also experienced "physical, emotional, sexual, mental abuses" while they were children in Puerto Rico, she said.
Since leaving prison, Love was also arrested July 15 in Bushwick, Brooklyn, on charges of assault in the third degree, after allegedly drunkenly hitting a woman on the head with a broom during a domestic dispute, police said.
She was released without bail two days later and a temporary order of protection was issued, public records show.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Most people arriving in New York state must quarantine for at least three full days before taking a coronavirus test, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Saturday as he overhauled one of the strictest quarantine regimes for travelers in the United States. If that test comes back negative, the traveler can leave quarantine.
The requirements, which take effect on Wednesday, will not apply to residents of "contiguous" states, Cuomo told reporters, and there will be different requirements for New Yorkers who leave the state for less than 24 hours.
He named Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New Jersey as examples of contiguous states, home to many commuters to New York City. But it was unclear whether neighboring Vermont and Massachusetts would also be exempt from the new regime. His office did not reply to questions seeking clarification on Saturday.
People will also be required to take a test that comes back negative within the three days prior to heading to New York, the governor said. Simple solution: boycott all business and travel to NY
[AP] In popular culture, exorcism often serves as a plot device in chilling films about demonic possession. This month, two Roman Catholic archbishops showed a different face of exorcism — performing the rite at well-attended outdoor ceremonies to drive out any evil spirits lingering after acrimonious protests.
The events’ distinctive character gave a hint of how exorcism — with roots in ancient times — has evolved in some ways as it becomes more commonplace in many parts of the world.
In Portland, Oregon, Archbishop Alexander Sample led a procession of more than 200 people to a city park on Oct. 17, offered a prayer, then conducted a Latin exorcism rite intended to purge the community of evil. The event followed more than four months of racial justice protests in Portland, mostly peaceful but sometimes fueling violence and riots.
On the same day, 600 miles to the south, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone performed an exorcism ceremony outside a Catholic church in San Rafael, where protesters had earlier toppled a statue of Father Junipero Serra.
"We pray that God might purify this place of evil spirits, that he might purify the hearts of those who perpetrated this blasphemy," Cordileone said.
Serra was an 18th-century Spanish missionary priest, long praised by the church for bringing Roman Catholicism to what is now the western United States. His critics say that Serra, in converting Native Americans to Catholicism, forced them to abandon their culture or face brutal punishment.
Cordileone said the exorcism prayers in Latin, remarking that "Latin tends to be more effective against the devil because he doesn’t like the language of the church." The prayers were different from those offered when a person is believed to be the subject of demonic possession.
Two experts on exorcism -- religious studies professor Andrew Chesnut of Virginia Commonwealth University and the Rev. Pius Pietrzyk of St. Patrick’s Seminary and University in California -- recalled no other recent exorcisms in the U.S. similar to those in Oregon and California.

"We pray that God might purify this place of evil spirits, that he might purify the hearts of those who perpetrated this blasphemy," Cordileone said.
With a name like 'Cordileone' I would have thought he might have a more kinetic cure.

Where can you get a doorman, pool access and protection from marauding extremists?
The luxe Chelsea apartment building that has been home to Debbie Harry, Pete Davidson and Tim Gunn, among other bold-faced names, is hiring armed guards for Election Day, Page Six has learned.
London Terrace Towers sent out an email to residents which read, "As you are aware, government enforcement agencies across the country are making plans to control the possible civil unrest following the upcoming presidential election."
"Regardless of the outcome of [Tuesday’s] election, our concerns range from isolated violent incidents to a long stretch of mass protests, confrontations between extremists, and potential property damage," it continued.
So the management says they’re hiring extra guards to patrol the area. And insiders tell us that they’ll be carrying guns.
Other current and former residents of the building — where a four-bedroom apartment is currently on the market for $7.5million, and a two-bedroom is available for rent for $7,800-a-month — include Chelsea Clinton, Malcolm Gladwell, Bill Hader, Annie Leibovitz, Bridget Moynahan, tennis star Milos Raonic, iHeartRadio podcaster Rob Shuter and his Grammy-winning husband Bruce Sussman.

[Business Insider] Tiny homes have often been proposed as an affordable housing solution, and some locales in the US have encouraged them as construction lags behind demand.
IndieDwell, a modular home company based in Idaho, is focused on the same goal. It makes one, two, and four-bedroom homes out of recycled shipping containers, partnering with communities or housing organizations to create affordable, mixed-income communities.
IndieDwell just opened a second factory in Pueblo, Colorado that will employ 160 people. The company says that it opens factories in areas where there are organizations to partner with, and communities in need of jobs, and it has plans to expand further. Current projects include housing for the homeless in San Jose, housing for people recovering from addiction in Colorado, and homes for veterans in Washington.
IndieDwell gave Business Insider a look inside the original Idaho factory to see what happens inside a tiny home factory. Take a look here.

Ah, the hidden classism and associated racism of zoning. Time to hit those deep blue upper class areas with high density low cost government housing. Not to house the poor but to expose the hypocrisy of the Left's money base.

When I worked for Sun they turned shipping containers into mobile server rooms. I just watched an HGTV show where they installed a shipping container converted into a small pool. Is there anything these little boxes can't do?
Next I imagine they'll create mobile jail cells so the prison system could shift capacity around as necessary instead of building big facilities that have to be emptied out in a pandemic.

Or we can elect leaders who will return the wealth building jobs to the USA and afford to live in real houses, not the metallic version of cardboard boxes.

They make single and multifamily homes, like this $55,000 320 square foot, single container, one-bedroom home.
How Much Does a Mobile Home Cost?
In the most recent data from the Census Bureau's Manufactured Housing Survey (MHS), the average sales price nationwide for a new manufactured home in February 2020 was $55,600 for a single-wide and $107,500 for a double-wide.
Used double- or triple-wide mobile homes tend to hold their value better than single-wides. Prices can range from nothing or next to nothing for homes where people just want to be able to walk away from the monthly space rent on an older home, to $10,000-$250,000 or more depending on location, age, size and amenities.
[Breitbart] President Donald Trump on Saturday announced the signing of an executive order to protect both the fracking and oil and gas industries following former Vice President Joe Biden’s pledge to "transition from the oil industry."
"Just signed an order to protect fracking and the oil and gas industry," the president wrote on Twitter. "This means JOBS, low energy bills, and continued AMERICAN ENERGY INDEPENDENCE! Sleepy Joe would BAN fracking and destroy American energy jobs! He has NO clue!!"
May Allah make his opinion plain, as he did when he tossed back President Trump.

Medieval clothes? So, dear Reader: jihadi, nutter, or personal revenge? We’ll start on Page 3, then change if Medieval Clothes Stabby Man turns out to be a jihadi.
[IsraelTimes] Police in Quebec City early Sunday arrested a man on suspicion of killing two people and injuring five others in a stabbing rampage near the provincial legislature on Halloween.
They say a man in his mid-20s has been arrested in connection with the Halloween night attacks and taken to a hospital.
Police had earlier warned residents to remain indoors as they hunted for a man dressed in medieval clothing and armed with a bladed weapon who had left "multiple victims."
Spokesman Etienne Doyon said police were first notified of the stabbings near the National Assembly shortly before 10:30 p.m. Saturday.
The five injured victims were taken to a hospital, and a spokeswoman said their lives did not appear to be in danger.
Police asked area residents to remain indoors as their investigation was ongoing.
There’s no word on a possible motive for the attacks.
The police said they began searching for a man suspected of carrying out the attacks, who was described as wearing medieval costume and carrying a sword, after receiving a call just before 10:30 p.m.
The police said their initial investigation did not point to an act of terrorism. “Nothing indicates to us that the suspect would have acted with motivations other than personal,” the Quebec City police wrote on Twitter.
[Right Scoop] "I’ve been told by all these geniuses, you know, all these brilliant guys. They all say, ’you can’t win the state of California.’ I think we can." Those words from President Donald Trump are the opening lines of a new ad from a pro-Trump group in California.
As RedState’s Kira Davis reports, this is the same group who put up a now famous Trump sign on the 405 in California. In fact, it is that very sign, the placing of it, that is the subject of the video.
As you see the process underway, the ad’s slow build continues with Trump quotes overlaying the sound effects and music.
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran's daily tally of coronavirus deaths hit a record high of 434 on Sunday [1 Nov], the authorities said, a day after announcing stringent new restrictions including the closure of schools, universities and mosques in most of the country.
The deaths, announced by Health Ministry spokeswoman Sima Sadat Lari on state TV, take the national toll to 35,298. She said the number of confirmed coronavirus cases increased by 7,719 to 620,491. A number of countries, e.g., UK,USA, are experiencing new peaks in infections without new peaks in fatalities (assuming WorldoMeter numbers correct) "Fortunately, the dead were comprised of homosexuals, dissidents, and Jooos"

...OTOH, we're at least trying to do something about it. Whereas the Iranians are licking mosques (no, really) and just kind of keeping their fingers crossed.
PS: I'd at least double the reported Iranian deaths and then work up from there.

I read an article that says that over 50% of the young men in Muslim nations want to emigrate. The unfortunate thing is that they have no/few language skills in their chosen destinations. The only friends they make are Muslim. The best thing that could happen to them .......

has reportedly stopped purchasing Chaokoh coconut milk after PETA accused its manufacturer, the Thailand-based company Theppadungporn Coconut Co., of using forced monkey labor.
PETA investigators from its Asia division found cruelty to monkeys at farms and facilities used by Theppadungporn Coconut Co., according to the animal rights group.
"When not being forced to pick coconuts or perform in circus-style shows for tourists, the animals were kept tethered, chained to old tires, or confined to cages barely larger than their bodies," a PETA news release stated. "One coconut farmer confirmed that when monkeys are terrified and try to defend themselves, handlers may have their teeth pulled out."
Chaokoh, one of the world leaders in coconut milk production and other coconut products, and Theppadungporn Coconut Co., have not responded to CNN's request for comment.
Theppadungporn told USA Today that it has audited coconut plantations using a third party and shared a copy of the 14-page "Monkey-Free Coconut Due Diligence Assessment." The report says 64 farms out of 817 were randomly selected and "did not find the use of monkey for coconut harvesting."
"Following the recent news about the use of 'monkey labour' in Thailand's coconut industry, Chaokoh, one of the world's leaders in coconut milk production, reassures that we do not engage the use of monkey labour in our coconut plantations," the company said in a statement, which noted that its suppliers have signed memorandums of understanding that there's no monkey labor at their farms.
PETA is calling on all major grocers to stop selling Chaokoh milk products and promise to work with humane suppliers for their products.
"No kind shopper wants monkeys to be chained up and treated like coconut-picking machines," said PETA President Ingrid Newkirk in a statement. "Costco made the right call to reject animal exploitation."
Costco representatives said they could not officially comment on the matter to CNN.
In a letter to Newkirk, obtained from PETA, Costco's Vice President of Corporate Food and Sundries, Ken Kimble, said the wholesaler has launched an investigation and its supplier is visiting every facility to verify they are not using monkey labor.
"We have ceased purchasing from our supplier/owner of the brand Chaokoh," Kimble wrote in the letter, dated Sept. 29. "We have made it clear to the supplier we do not support the use of monkeys for harvesting and that all harvesting must be done by human labor."
In the letter, he also said, "We will continue to monitor the implementation of the harvest policies and once satisfied will resume purchasing."
The letter also said that a "3rd party auditor has been hired by Chaokoh to independently verify the implementation of these harvest policies" and the letter ends by saying Costco will resume purchasing once it is satisfied harvesting is done by humans.
In a statement to CNN, Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, said it is in talks with the manufacturer over the allegations.
"Walmart is committed to sourcing responsibility and we expect that our suppliers will not tolerate animal abuse of any kind," a Walmart spokesperson told CNN. "We will continue to engage with this supplier regarding our expectations, the severity of these allegations and that the supplier will take corrective action if needed."
