If you just arrived here and are following me, hi! I have a couple lists in my profile you might be interested in. You might even be on one, if you are just getting back into an old account. If you want to be taken off, just let me know.
Otherwise, there’s a cheese tray and crudite in the back….

This is my one conversation with him, back when he was at the height of his WWE fame and just starting out as an actor. He came across as funny, self-aware and modest. I liked him instantly.

Not My Job: John Cena

Pro wrestler John Cena plays our game called "Sure, pro wrestling is a good gig, but when you win, do they throw teddy bears into the ring?" Three stories about the verbiage of figure skating.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

I am not trying to imply there is an insurgency within PBSO or the Army Reserve.

I'm implying that there's a good chance the stand was set up by PBSO to protect the usual motorcade route, and then forgotten or else agencies just weren't talking to one another.

Just for the record, there are #florida reports about a "hunting stand" found in a tree overlooking Air Force One. The trees appear to be these, below... on the sheriff's office forensics lab grounds, next to the US Army Reserve.

This is not a wilderness. It's government buildings.

A screegrab of the southern edge of PBI, Southern Blvd (the road to Mar-a-Lago) and the three lots for the Water Management District, the US Army Reserve, and the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office Forensics Lab on Gun Club Road. "Sniper's" trees are just about center, below the canal.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

Invest 98L is getting better organized in the eastern Caribbean, and looks as if it will become a tropical cyclone this week. The longer term forecast is still uncertain - but I am growing increasingly concerned about the potential for serious impacts in Hispaniola. More: tinyurl.com/3657e942

This is still a revelatory cover. Of course this was inside the White Stripes all along... it was right there. Right there.

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.
