Heard a bunch of old guys singing in an Irish pub in Cooperstown. Turns out they were members of the Pitt glee club in the 70’s.

Here is ‘Hail to Pitt’ courtesy of them:

ICE AGENTS KILL DOG
DURING UNLAWFUL SEARCH, REFUSE TO RENDER AID, AND LEAVE WITHOUT IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES

weratedogs This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE.
Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

So basically this is Iranian Hostage Crisis 2.0, just with a 9-month delay in the payoff for no particular reason.

This seems like confirmation

Then Mr. Trump won the presidency back, and the Biden administration was determined to get a cease-fire in place by January, before it left office. It drafted a peace plan, much of which was quite similar to the “20 point plan” Mr. Trump recently issued. There was slow progress: More than 130 hostages had been released by the time the January cease-fire took place.

“We handed over a cease-fire that silenced the guns, had hostages coming out and aid going in, along with a day-after plan to make it permanent,” Mr. Blinken said. But when the new administration took over, “the moment was squandered,” he added. “Israel and Hamas went back to war for eight months.”

Israeli officials tell a different story. Mr. Biden was a lame duck, they noted, and disengaged. Mr. Trump was a known entity, less likely to lecture Mr. Netanyahu in private or public. They put their money on a new president, and a new negotiating team

I think I just saw an ICE vehicle pull
into the Dollar General on McNeilly Rd.

Black suburban, spotlight on the driver side, black and gold construction zone sticker on the back bumper, and a plastic shield over the license plate that made it completely indecipherable.

Eyes open, Pittsburgh

New levels of hell: just got an email from our local AYSO cancelling today’s youth soccer games because ICE is at the Home Depot across from the soccer fields at James Park in Evanston.

Mason Heintschel’s postgame interview has been on at least 3x in this house and until this point, I was unaware of how babygirl-coded he is (complimentary)
