[NYP] A Delaware judge on Wednesday rejected Hunter Biden’s latest attempt to stop proceedings in the federal gun case against him from moving forward, declaring the first son’s motion to be "frivolous."
Biden, 54, had argued in his May 14 motion to enjoin that the use of congressional appropriations to fund Special Counsel David Weiss was unconstitutional because the prosecutor is not an "independent counsel."
The embattled first son used the same argument in an effort to dismiss his California tax fraud case, a bid that was rejected by both the District Court for the Central District of California and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this year.
"Somewhat incongruously, [Biden] has asserted in this case both that he is being selectively prosecuted by a Special Counsel ’making prosecutorial decisions for political reasons,’ and that the Special Counsel making those decisions is not actually independent from the Attorney General appointed by his father or the Executive Branch headed by his father," US District Judge Maryellen Noreika wrote in her order, rejecting Biden’s argument. Firearms proficiency? What ranges did he visit. Who were the instructors ?
[Gateway] A judge in Michigan was baffled when a man appearing in court via Zoom for a suspended driver’s license case attended the hearing while driving his car.
Court footage that has gone viral on X shows District Judge Cedric Simpson in complete disbelief as defendant Corey Harris attends court via Zoom while driving on a suspended license.
In the video, Simpson asks Harris, "Mr Harris, are you driving?"
Harris responded, "Actually, I’m pulling into my doctor’s office."
After Harris responded, his public defender immediately asked for an adjournment for up to four weeks, to which Simpson replied, "Okay, so maybe I don’t understand something. This is a driving while license suspended [case], and he was driving, and he didn’t have a license."

[WFTV9] AMSTERDAM — A person died after falling into the turbine blades of a passenger jet that was departing from Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport, according to officials.
"An... incident took place at Schiphol today during which a person ended up in a running aircraft engine," Dutch flagship carrier KLM said in a statement obtained by CBS News. "Sadly the person has died."
[Washington Examiner] Three black men are accusing American Airlines of racial discrimination in a lawsuit filed after the airline removed the plaintiffs and five other black men from a flight.
They reportedly were told after disembarking that they were removed from the flight "because of a complaint about body odor," but they said no one accused them of that on the plane. The men, who didn’t know one another, were later let back on the Phoenix-to-New York flight.
"We take all claims of discrimination very seriously and want our customers to have a positive experience when they choose to fly with us," American said in a statement to the New York Times. "Our teams are currently investigating the matter, as the claims do not reflect our core values or our purpose of caring for people."
A cellphone recording obtained by the outlet revealed an American employee agreeing with a man who had described the removal as discriminatory, saying they agreed. The men are requesting compensation for "fear, humiliation, embarrassment, mental pain, suffering and inconvenience" they endured, as well as punitive damages.
An attorney working with Public Citizen, Lauren Bateman, said the men were removed because they were black men.

When I managed a medical office, some people came through with such bad BO we lost use of the exam room they were in for part of a day. And no particular race had any monopoly on that.

Couldn't be worse than the smell encountered with a room full of test engineers taking the 6 hour certification exam. Every 3 years. Still haunts me.

Guess those Karens have absolutely no idea how things smelled 100+ years ago before people got into a habit of bathing and washing regularly.

Maybe. Last I read a story like this, an ex-football player had spent the last 8 hours in a titty bar right up to the minute he had to make the flight, smelling of booze and smoke and 8 hours of that kind of partying.
Another 'body odor' complaint can be found posted at restaurants in legal weed states that customers who smell like the stinky stinky will be asked to leave.
In these modern times, I'm open to any of the thread's possibilities, right? Maybe the dedicated Newsomer flight was overbooked and this is spillover, and their little Red Cross How-To explains how to call racism to block investigation.

Shoot, in clown world it could be they were supposed to be on the migrant express instead of the regular people noticing flight, removed and put on migrant express, and lawsuit is cover for it. Don't know.
I'm just putting out there, that in today's American Culture, poor manners and hygiene in themselves are not unusual, so I wonder if something more extraordinary is going on here.
[Al Jazeera] North Korea ...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... has launched multiple short-range ballistic missiles, South Korea’s military said, as it continues to develop its military weaponry in breach of international sanctions.
The 10 missiles were launched from the Sunan area at about 6:14am on Thursday (21:14 GMT on Wednesday) towards the east, South Korea’s joint chiefs of staff said in a statement.
The statement said the missiles travelled about 350 kilometres (217 miles) before ditching into the sea.
The military said the launch was a "clear provocation" on the part of Pyongyang and "seriously threatens the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula".
The missile launch comes three days after North Korea’s attempt to put a second spy satellite into orbit ended in failure when the rocket carrying the equipment went kaboom! in midair.
Leader Kim Pudge Jong-un ...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished... has made developing more sophisticated weaponry and military equipment a cornerstone of his efforts to modernise North Korea’s armed forces. He has deepened relations with Russia and has been accused of providing weapons for Moscow to use against Ukraine in return for Russian technological expertise.
The United States, a close ally of South Korea, condemned the launch with the Indo-Pacific Command urging North Korea to "refrain from further unlawful and destabilising acts."
Pyongyang is banned from testing ballistic missiles under United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... sanctions imposed over its nuclear programme.

Generally speaking, when NK does such Public Political Displays, if because they have major internal issues they wish to deflect from.

[Regnum] The US Federal Reserve System (FRS), which performs the functions of the central bank, must be dissolved, as its activities have provoked high inflation in the country, said Republican Congressman from Kentucky Thomas Massie. His proposal was published on the website of the House of Representatives of Congress.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve created trillions of dollars out of thin air and lent it to the Treasury Department to support unprecedented spending,” the politician said.
According to Massey, the Fed provoked the devaluation of the dollar, which led to high inflation. Because of this, the savings of retirees are worthless, and the rich profit from the monetization of debt. The congressman also accused the Fed, the Treasury Department and the White House of collusion.
Massie introduced a bill that would repeal the law establishing the Federal Reserve, in force since 1913. The co-authors of the project include 20 congressmen, all of them are members of the Republican Party.
As Regnum reported, the US Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in June 2022 that inflation in the country reached 8.6%. This was a record since 1981. In 2023, inflation in the United States was reduced to 3.4%. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said that it would be possible to reduce price growth to the target of 2% no earlier than 2024.
Washington Post columnist David Ignatius in April 2024, citing a report by the RAND Corporation think tank (included in the register of organizations whose activities are recognized as undesirable in the Russian Federation), said that the United States is approaching decline, from which it will be difficult to recover. He noted that the country is losing competitiveness, and respect for its power is decreasing in the world.
Sadly, the current reign of octogenarians relies on 'Well, back in my time...' reasoning. The world has moved on, needs new fiscal models and criminal proSECution.
[Federalist] B. Jordan spent two years in the Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility on felony drug conviction charges. When she was released, long before her maximum 20-year sentence, Jordan went to work getting felons like her registered to vote.
"I went [Cell-]
door-to-door to stress the fact that we’re felons, that we can vote. And a lot of people didn’t even know that," the activist for the left-wing Voting Access for All Coalition says in a video aimed at getting ex-cons to the polls. "I went through my neighborhood ... to inform my neighborhood that I knew there was a lot of felons in my neighborhood and they could vote."
"I also had a car, and the people that didn’t have a ride I would drive them up to our local voting polls to have them vote and register," Jordan added.
The video is "brought to you" by a coalition of groups that include the clerk’s office and sheriff’s office of southeast Michigan’s Washtenaw County. Washtenaw County’s seat of government is Ann Arbor, home to the University of Michigan, a critical county in a critical swing state that will likely decide the next president of the United States.
Another coalition partner is the League of Women Voters of Michigan. Interestingly, an official from the Michigan LWV chapter told The Federalist the organization was "not familiar with the video." Sent a link to the video, the official said the League had no comment.
"We want to ensure that persons in pre-trial situations, folks about to be released from jail and prison, and their families have the opportunity and knowledge they need to exercise their right to vote in all elections," the video’s narrator asserts.
[Gateway] The Hart Research/Public Opinion Strategies/NBC News survey released on Wednesday found that the percentage of Americans calling the nation "out of control" was the highest on record under any president since the poll began.
Breitbart News reports:
Seventy-three percent of voters believe Biden’s America is "out of control, on wrong track," topping the record high that George W. Bush set in 2008 — 70 percent. Barack Obama set the third-highest rating at 65 percent.
The poll noted several additional findings. It reported that Trump leads Biden in six of the six swing states, including Wisconsin, a state where other polls showed Biden leading Trump.
The survey also reported that non-white voters are trending away from Democrats, while the Republican Party is surging among the demographic. In four years, non-white voters shifted about 40 points in favor of Republicans.
Bill McInturff, a veteran Republican pollster, also noted that the survey found more voters identifying as Republicans.
[Breitbart] The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) announced a holiday called "Menstrual Hygiene Day," a day that is aimed at creating a period-friendly world for "menstruators."
In a post on X, the DOL shared a link to a blog post about Menstrual Hygiene Day and five ways that employers can make their workplaces "menstruation friendly" for "menstruators."
"To commemorate this Menstrual Hygiene Day, the Women’s Bureau is breaking down the stereotypes and stigmas that have made menstruation a taboo topic in the workplace," the DOL’s blog post read. "Menstruation is a natural part of half our population’s life, and yet it has been overlooked in the context of work — perhaps because it is seen as a personal issue or uncomfortable to discuss."
[Washington Examiner] Former President Donald Trump is reportedly considering Elon Musk for an advisory position on policies related to border security and the economy if he is elected in November.
While formerly embracing aspects of both major political parties, Musk publicly shifted to the right in May 2022 when he tweeted that Democrats had "become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them."
The X owner has been vocal about his disdain for policies pushed by Democrats, such as diversity, equity, and inclusion, and he has been very open about his disapproval of President Joe Biden. Recently going a step further, Musk has been hosting gatherings of elite business leaders from across the country with the intention of creating a powerful and organized front to defeat Biden in November, according to the Wall Street Journal.

[Regnum] The B-21 Raider strategic bomber, developed by Northrop Grumman for the US Air Force, will revolutionize strategic bombing. The tasks of the advanced aircraft were named in the publication The National Interest (TNI).
“The aircraft is designed to carry out deep penetration strikes against air defense systems of almost equal strength. Essentially, if the B-21 Raider lives up to expectations, it will be able to deliver conventional and nuclear munitions to high-value targets in China and Russia, which is extremely important for a potential conflict. Such opportunities are not cheap,” the message notes.
According to the publication, the US Air Force plans to create a strategic bomber fleet. It will include the B-21 Raider and B-52 Stratofortress. The first will be used for the most difficult strikes with deep penetration on important targets. The second will be used for lighter missions in the battlespace with better chances for the Air Force.
Several bomber prototypes have already flown, collecting important test data for the production aircraft. The Pentagon has given the green light to full-scale production of the B-21, the publication added.
As Regnum reported, the new B-21 Raider strategic bomber, made using stealth technology, was presented in December 2022. It was noted that this is the first such development to be released in the last 30 years. Previously, the US Air Force planned to purchase at least 100 B-21 aircraft and begin replacing already outdated combat vehicles.
When testing the new bomber, the B-21 nuclear weapons carrier, the US military used simulators with artificial intelligence (AI).

I think it goes without saying you rig the bombs to go off on impact if the right combination of inertial location and loss of flight profile data (shoot down) occurs.
