Jeff Sessions Resigns as Attorney General, But He's Not Done Serving Yet. Here's What He Might be Up to Next.
Michael Cantrell
Jeff Sessions was forced to resign from his position of Attorney General on Wednesday, but those who are big fans of what he accomplished during his time in office may not have to say their goodbyes just yet.
As it turns out, Sessions might be contemplating a run for his old Senate seat in Alabama. The seat, which he left vacant, went to a special election between Judge Roy Moore and Democrat Douglas Jones. Jones was able to pull off a victory after Moore was sunk by allegations of sexual misconduct involving an underage girl.
Jones is up for re-election (this time to a full term in the Senate) in 2020, when Sessions himself was due to come up for re-election (had he not taken the job in Washington) and Jones is by no means a lock on the seat. In fact, local Republicans, including former Republican Senator Luther Strange (who lost to Moore in the special election primary), seemed giddy about the possibility of Sessions returning to compete for his old position.

"Jeff Sessions for Senate in 2020!" Strange tweeted Wednesday.
The problem for Sessions is that, while he's a beloved fixture in Alabama, his time as Attorney General has done little to improve how potential 2020 voters see him. In fact, Politico reports, his former constituents have "soured" somewhat on their former Senator, largely because of President Donald Trump's "relentless attacks" on Sessions' character.
Since excusing himself from the DOJ's Russia probe, Trump has routinely eviscerated Sessions — who was among Trump's first and most ardent supporters as Trump was running for President in 2016 — over his refusal to intervene in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, allowing Mueller to have all the time and resources he needed to make a thorough inquiry into whether Russian officials effectively colluded with Trump campaign officials to impact the outcome of the 2016 Presidential election.
Sessions himself has yet to confirm these are his plans, but this sort of move would make a lot of sense. He'd certainly be a much better fit for the Senate seat than Jones.
The question, however, is whether or not Trump's attacks on him have damaged his reputation and credibility so much that folks won't back him in a race against Jones. Only time will tell that one.

Dave and Colin went to Creekside Community Centre to hold a pickleball clinic: volleys, drop shots, dinks, non-volley zone and positional play. They met 8 players including Bob, Georgia and Hugh. Angela Kong also visited from Sunset Community Centre. The Creekside facility is brand new and very modern. This is a great place to play in Vancouver with a very friendly group of players. They were all very welcoming to Dave and Colin. It is located in the Athletes Village on False Creek. Free parking available on the street or underground parking $2/hr. Drop-in pickleball $2.
This is a plaque from Surrey School District #36 for Pickleball Canada Association:
"In gracious recognition of Pickleball Canada Association for their generous support of the DREAMS Spring Break Programs in the Surrey School District, signed by Laurae McNally, Chair, Board of School Trustees, School District No. 38 (Surrey), April 4, 2011"
During this Spring Break Program, Dave, Shirley, Mike Shepherd and Herb Peters from Abbotsford gave free 20 hours of Pickleball instructions to approximately 180 students at five schools in Surrey, B.C.
It was an excellent tournament, well attended and everyone had a good time, note all the smiling faces, 77 in photo. There was a table with about 25 homemade cakes, muffins, cookies, fruit and coffee which we could snack on all day and a very nice lunch included.
Colin Caldwell and his partner's won GOLD in Men's Doubles and also Mixed Doubles, competitive. Dave Shepherd won Bronze in Men's recreational. Jim Saunders (organizer of this event and his partner Doug Ross won Silver in Men's Doubles. Then Jim & Terry (his wife) Saunders won Silver in Mixed Doubles.
Two of the best players in Canada, SJ Lehman and Ronnie Pitcher were there, as a team they won every game they played but had to leave before the final game so had to accept 3rd Bronze. It was both fun and entertaining to watch all players. Kelowna Global TV was there capturing s video of the tournament.
The great news is we signed up 14 new members on the spot and might get a few more in the mail. Pickelball Canada now has over 400 members.

Yesterday about 14 players from Abbotsford went to South Surrey Recreation Centre for the Playdown for the B.C. Seniors Games. There were a total of about 25 players there. We played some games in mixed, mens and ladies doubles. We met John Kusch and his wife Beryl and Fred Hubbick who helped me find a partner. I met my new partner Valerie who is very nice and friendly, we played well together. We will try to do some practise before the games in August.
Bill Vroom was born in the Netherlands in 1929. He came from a large family of 10 boys and 3 girls. They lived on a farm and Bill enjoyed milking cows.
During the war in 1945, the Germans bombed a big hole in his family's farm and flooded their house. People had no food. Some people came to get food at his farm and some were hiding there. The Germans pointed a gun to his Dad's head and asked to see his papers, he showed them false papers, luckily they believed him.
At age 17, he came to Canada with two brothers and the rest of his family came a year later. He married his wife in 1953 and they have five children, 23 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
Bill was a home builder in Oshawa, Whitby and Bowmanville of Ontario, he owned a construction company. He moved to B.C. about two and a half years ago.
At age 64, Bill had prostate cancer and underwent surgery. That was 17 years ago, so he is a cancer survivor. His wife has Alzheimer's and they live in Manor House which provides home cooked meals for seniors.
Bill has played pickleball for two years. He is very friendly, active and fit, he can jump up to hit a ball hard like a strong younger man. He is a kind gentleman who brought a lot of food for our snack time. He has an excellent memory and he can add numbers very fast. I was impressed when he helped me to add up the scores of our round robin tournament in seconds (most people need a calculator) really incredible!
Eight courts were full with 39 players. Many new players: Nigel, Leslie and their daughter Caroline, two new players from Vernon. Some players from Chilliwack: Carol, Elaine. Glad to see John Kusch (best player who won many gold medals) and his wife from South Surrey. They both registered to play at our upcoming pickleball tournament. I played with John and it was fun winning against Dave and Rod. At snack time, about 25 players gathered for coffee and snacks. Thanks to Henrietta for bringing chocolates and refreshing fresh fruit which were so delicious after playing pickleball!

The Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile–Extended Range (JASSM-ER) is now fully operational on the F-15E.
The news statement by Lockheed Martin on Feb. 6 says the F-15E is the first Universal Armament Interface (UAI)-compliant platform to field JASSM-ER. UAI-compliant aircraft feature standardized interfaces to support future weapon integration.
Baseline JASSM was the first missile ever to be integrated onto a UAI platform. The U.S. Air Force (USAF) Seek Eagle Office led the F-15E Strike Eagle JASSM-ER and JASSM integration.
Noteworthy as we have previously explained Japan too is exploring the possibility of modifying the F-15J all-weather air superiority fighter to arm them with the JASSM-ER. Civil servants are working on the fiscal 2018 budget to allocate funds to research on how to carry out the modifications.
Thanks to JASSM-ER standoff capabilities, Japan would be able to attack North Korea directly from the airspace over the Sea of Japan without approaching the country.
Effective against high-value, well-fortified, fixed and relocatable targets, JASSM-ER is also integrated on the B1-B and currently in the process of integration on the F-16C/D and the internal bay and wings of the B-52H. JASSM is integrated on the USAF's B-1B, B-2, B-52, F-16 and F-15E. Internationally, JASSM is carried on the F/A-18A/B, F-18C/D and F-16 Block 52 aircraft. Produced at the company's manufacturing facility in Troy, Alabama, more than 2,150 JASSMs have been delivered.

on October 29, 2018 October 29, 2018 By Felix Eberstark
There's a very thin line between love and cruelty, revenge and redemption.
What's the worst feeling in the world? For most people, it's the end of a love relationship. A termination so painful it could leave both parties heartbroken for a long time. But there's always the possibility of finding love again, one that's greater and more special than the one before. For that to happen, though, one has to be capable and willing to let go and move on.
Matthew has been given the death penalty. That's the decision made by the judge. I didn't want to acknowledge it before because doing so would've confirmed its truth. I'm completely fazed by the idea of him being put on death row. Imagine being trapped in a jail cell knowing the countdown to your death is getting closer with every passing second.
There's something raw and admirable about people who embrace their dark side and make no apologizes for their actions instead of blaming things on others, making up lame excuses or even worse, going around and obliviously inflicting random damage. I've also come to notice that when I love too much, I end up hating; sometimes even with great passion. Naturally, I'm supposed to harbor deep feelings of hatred towards Matt than towards Warren, but it's the other way around. Although he kept a big part of his life a secret, Matt did nothing but show his true colors to me; he was never ashamed of who he was. On the other hand, Warren sometimes says and does things that are supposed to mean one thing but end up meaning something entirely different it's become hard for me to know his true intentions which makes him immature in my view. He rarely acts like an adult when it comes to interpersonal relationship. For me, this kind of behavior doesn't differ from lying or deceiving. I find it despicable.
There's two ways people can hurt you; knowingly or unknowingly. When you first think about it, you'd think a person intentionally hurting you is bad and it is, but it also allows you to immediately cut the person out of your life. On the other hand, you have the kind of people who accidentally hurt you; even though forgiving them is easier, those are most likely to hurt you over and over again; always unintentionally. When you look at it that way, you quickly realize how toxic and unhealthy keeping someone from the latter can be.
Warren's reason for definitively breaking things off with Cooper wasn't because he realized he didn't love him, but because he realized he wasn't safe. He's young and good looking, comes from a wealthy family, went to the most prestigious schools and graduated with a medical degree. Unlike Warren, he's a big extrovert who enjoys circuit parties and traveling whenever his schedule permits. Warren said their relationship was forced, that they were incompatible. I'm sure he knew that from the very beginning but decided to ignore it. Being with a guy like Cooper would've opened doors for him and exposed him to a better lifestyle filled with excitement; fun parties, pretty boys and plenty of hot sex. Deep inside, though, he's a little bit like me; he doesn't think he deserves to be happy and so he decided he wanted out before he got hurt. When he was with me, he seemed way more relaxed, but that's not necessarily because he loved and trusted me, it's because unlike Cooper, I was safe. I didn't really care when he eventually chose to be with me, I was just glad I had him, but now I can't help but feel used, so after careful consideration I've decided it was better to quit instead of dragging something we both know won't work. It would've made more sense for me to have ended things the day I saw him kissing Cooper, but I was too overwhelmed that morning I couldn't bring myself to close the chapter once and for all. I was filled with mixed and extreme emotions which made it hard for me to make a decision. Instead, I put myself in limbo to allow myself to process things and make up my mind.
Since the night I've met Warren, I've been fantasizing about the moment I'd walk into his home and become part of it. But reality differed. I dreaded every step I made walking inside of it. We probably would've made a great couple and led a good and fulfilling life together, but I'd have to be somebody else to do it. Warren doesn't know the real me. If he did, he wouldn't be able to handle it. If he knew of my previous relationship with Matt, the man who almost shot him to death, he'd lose his mind. I don't know why I keep convincing myself I'm fully capable of making a normal healthy relationship work. I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to be with him. I'll be living a double life manipulating some innocent man and tricking him into thinking I'm the person he thinks I am. That's not the only issue. This isn't just about me, it's about him as well. He hasn't been faithful to me to even seriously consider building a future with him. He's been comforting me with lie after lie about needing to settle and commit to one person. He made me feel like I could trust him, like he was honest. I guess we're both to blame, that's why I've decided to end things once and for all. This whole romantic whirlwind we found ourselves in is a massive clue our relationship was doomed from the start. With every minute spent at his place, I knew it was coming; the break-up. Every time he made a move on me, I'd cringe knowing that his whole life will turn upside down in a few minutes. I kept waiting for a moment of silence, or for him to shut down his extremely positive enthusiasm so I could spill out the words, but every time I thought I was ready, he'd do something sweet, like wrap his arms around me, kiss me, or suggest going on a trip sometime in the near future. I didn't know how to break it out to him. He was making so hard, so I just said it.
"I think it's better if we stop seeing each other," I calmly said.
He paused and looked at me, not taking me seriously. He asked me what I meant and I repeated, my tone firm and assertive. "It's over. This is over."
"Why? Where is this coming from?"
I turned away from him and started putting my clothes back on.
"Felix, we need to talk about this", he begged.
"There's nothing left to say."
Holding things against someone and not allowing them to prove they've changed might seem unfair, but sometimes you can't forget or ignore the past. Warren threw me on the back-burner, put me through hell emotionally and decided he wanted to be with me just because I provided him with a sense of security, all of which prove I'm better off without him. Then, there's the fact I'm unreliable, and staying with him would've been a total waste of both of our time. I didn't want to hurt him, so letting him go was the right thing to do. I mean, who am I kidding? I'm not made to be in a normal relationship.
In the moment of our separation, I didn't say anything more. I could've but I didn't. He stayed quiet because he was totally blindsided he didn't know what to say. However, the fact he didn't also proved he was unsure about our future together. I got closer to him and gave him a warm, tight embrace, and I could feel his resistance to cry as he buried his breathing in my hair. His grip got tighter, and the comfort it provided made me weak and helpless; I felt like I was trapped. For a second, I was about to reconsider, but I knew the tender moment we were sharing was clouding my judgement. We stood still and in total silence for what seemed like forever. I could almost hear his heart racing while mine slowed down. We eventually let go of one another and locked eyes. There was no kiss. There was no goodbye. Just a separation. Me leaving him. I walked to the door without looking back, opened it and left.

Leading a downline is a challenging part of any MLM or network marketing business. But effective leadership is a vital part of helping your downline to produce at top levels. Here are eight success strategies for effective MLM leadership. 1. Ask questions.
Effective leadership involves empowering your downline to do things for themselves. Allow your downline to solve their own problems and answer their own questions. Guiding them to the answers is a matter of asking the right questions as an upline: "What do you think you could do in that situation?" "What worked out the best for you with this business-building event?" "How would you handle that differently next time?" When you are tempted to tell team members what to do, ask a question instead and allow them to discover the answer for themselves. 2. Find each individual's personal strength.
Many times, the network marketing industry is so focused on duplication that we forget the fact that each individual brings a unique set of skills, strengths, and experiences. Invest some time identifying particular ways that a person can be successful with your business - even if they are beyond the duplicable system that you have set up. 3. Lead, don't push. Effective leadership doesn't involve pushing, dragging, or bribing people to success. Leading is about walking out in front of people, successfully working the business so that they will want to follow you on their own accord.
It's about making personal relationships with people so that they can ask you questions. Provide the information and tools they need, and then inspire them by successfully demonstrating the example yourself. 4. Manage your time effectively. As a leader, you're constantly identifying the one thing that is the most valuable use of your time, right now.
Effective leaders don't allow each of their team members to chat away for hours on the phone. View yourself as a businessperson, and keep each conversation on task. 5. Teach that consistency is the key to success.
Help your downline to understand that success is never about one isolated event. It's a marathon - not a sprint - with continual and consistent baby steps. Create a list of simple business building tasks, and teach them to keep a log of the tasks completed each day.
Whether it's 3, 5, or 10 tasks, let them know that success depends on how many of these tasks they commit to completing on a consistent basis. 6. Keep consistent communication. Send team updates or newsletters via email to your downline at least every two weeks. Recognize achievements as much as possible.
Everyone loves to see his or her name in print. This, in itself, can be tremendously motivating. 7. Know when to move on. Recognize that you can't make anyone do anything.
You can lead, but if one of your downline won't follow - it might be a better use of your time to find a more self-motivated person than to beat yourself up to motivate someone who, for one reason or another, isn't working at the business. 8. Take five.
Creating a large and successful network marketing team is so fun and rewarding that we sometimes forget to take breaks - and that can lead to burnout. Take some time off every now and then, and enjoy the journey.
Would you be interested in a business opportunity that would teach you skills and techniques for motivating your present downline - while giving you another income at the same time? Details are here: Network Marketing Success.

Craig Gordon says Hearts need to target European return as he outlines ambition for second spell
The Jambos 'keeper says the Tynecastle club need to be competing towards the top of Scottish football again

Join your fellow Jambos and subscribe to the Hearts FC newsletter now
Craig Gordon has outlined what he wants to achieve during his second Hearts spell, and feels European football should always be the aim for the club.
The 37-year-old Jambos 'keeper is currently in pre-season training ahead of the 2020/21 Scottish Championship season.
However, despite preparing for a campaign in the second tier, Gordon feels the club need to be competing towards the top of the Scottish game sooner rather than later.
He told the Scarves Around the Funnel podcast : "The sort term [aim] is to get back up. That's what we're all trying to do as quickly as possible to be successful. We've got a semi-final coming up and that's as far as we really want to look.
"I want to continue playing as long as I possibly can and I think Hearts have the potential to get right back up the top end of the league and start qualifying for Europe again, and hopefully we can have a few more nights we can speak about.

To receive one WhatsApp message a day with the top Hearts stories of the day, as well as breaking news alerts, text HEARTS to 07899068921. Then add the number to your contacts as 'Edinburgh Live Sport'.
"That has to be the aim for everybody at the club. I really think it's achievable. That's why I've come back to Hearts. To try and get us back there as soon as possible, and work as hard as we can to get there."
Gordon reckons the Jambos will be in good shape come their Scottish Cup semi-final against Hibs which will take place on either October 31 or November 1.
"The semi-final is one everybody is going to be looking forward to. Hibs are in the Premiership. They are going to have played more games. They are going to go into the game as favourites, as you would expect. They have already started the season pretty well, so it's going to be tough but one really looking forward to.
"It is an aim for us because it does come so early in our season. So it's just up to us to get ourselves in as best possible shape going into that game, and give ourselves the best possible chance, and give it our best shot.
"We know what's at stake, to get into a final, and it's a derby match. Anything can happen and we have and always have had a good record. I've had a good record against them when I've played against them before, so we'll go into that game and give it our very best shot to get into a final, and see what happens if we get there."

I'm Rina, a Wellness practitioner, Yoga teacher and healthy-living enthusiast.
After a five-year successful career as a TV news producer and a wonderfully hectic social life, I was diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid and a few years later with Type 1 diabetes. Suddenly I was faced with a huge and scary health crisis. It seemed overwhelming at the time and for a while I was at a loss to know what to do. I would never have thought that this would turn out to be my own personal blessing.
I set off on a pilgrimage of healing.
First to India to deepen my understanding of Ayurvedic medicine, Yogic conscious living and the age-old laws of the Mystics. I was initiated into the ancient art of Yoga at the Sivananda ashram in Kerala. The Kundalini yoga kriyas that I learned brought many benefits including the increased strength of the nervous system. This has become the bedrock on which my journey back to health was able to begin.
One insight came as a surprise to me: Serotonin, (the happiness hormone!) which the body uses to regulate the brain is not produced there.

I'd heard before of Dr Gabriel Cousens, the nutritionist/therapist working out of Arizona, USA. During an intensive and fascinating course with him I became more and more convinced of the importance of two things. The healing power of living food – and the deep spiritual aspect of human nutrition.

SOCIETY / ILLEGAL CENSORSHIP
Whose films are these, anyway?
West Bengal officials recently called off screenings of various films scheduled to be shown at Kolkata's premiere culture centre, apparently displeased over one of the entries at the film festival. Shoma Chatterji reports on the government's censorship, and the outcry following it.
22 May 2008 -
Media Solidarity, a forum of artistes, cultural activists and intellectuals and other democratic minded organisations and individuals, called a press conference on 2 May to condemn the sudden decision by officials at Nandan (the State Government's film complex that also organizes the Kolkata Film Festival every year) to scrap all Indian Panorama films sent by the Directorate of Film Festivals Delhi, to be screened for the local audience at a festival.
Evidently, this was prompted by the response of the audience to a particular film being screened at the festival. Ladly Mukherjee's documentary Whose Land is It Anyway? was part of this 42-film package. The film was scheduled for screening for the 2:00 PM show on 26 April 26, the penultimate day of the festival. It was postponed to the 6.00 pm slot. Immediately after its screening, a section of the audience turned restive and began condemning the state government's industrialisation of Singur detailed in the film.
In response to this agitation, Nandan called off the entire festival by a Government Order. Further, Nilanjan Chattopadhyay, the Director of Nandan dashed off a fascimile to DFF the same evening, asking them to explain why the directorate had sent a film that "directly violates the ethical principles of centre-state relationship." The fax further states, "I am directed to state that it is highly objectionable to include such a controversial film in the Indian Panorama package ... I am further directed to inform you that all the screenings earmarked on 27 March, 2008, will remain suspended till a satisfactory reply is received from your office."
For those film-makers whose films were to be shown on the last day, the decision to stop the screening of the remaining films was an unfortunate fall-out. Adoor Gopalakrishnan's Naalu Pennungal was among these films, and the early closure of the festival denied cine buffs in the city the opportunity to catch this latest film from the maestro.
• No longer a spirited festival
• Tales of eviction
The communication did not reveal what was so 'objectionable', and who was objecting. In what way were these films so 'controversial', if the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has already considered it fit for public exhibition? On this too, the letter was silent.
Nandan was clearly fumbling, presumably on orders from the government. The package of films was selected by eminent filmmakers like Arun Khopkar and Pankaj Butalia whose documentaries have been screened and awarded across the world. Well in advance of the festival itself, the DFF had sent the synopses of all IP films to Nandan. Whether the authorities there bothered to look through these before the festival began is not clear. They also neglected to mention what 'ethical principles' they were referring to. It is also noteworthy that the film was made in and about West Bengal, and had already been screened at IFFI Goa last year.
To briefly reiterate the content of the film, it details how and when the West Bengal Government handed the Tata Group a plot of 997 acres to establish an automobile factory. This would affect not only the peasant population of Singur itself, but also put at risk other families of working peasants who came there from neighbouring villages everyday, small tradesmen, shopkeepers, hawkers and everyone, amounting to a staggering figure of 50,000 affected persons. Only 800-1000 of these people would be employed in the Tata factory itself, the promoters themselves say. Has the government prepared alternative channels of employment for the 49,000 who would lose their livelihoods in the process? Ladly Mukherjee has raised these very pertinent and uncomfortable questions through visuals, comments and some authoritative opinions given by experts from different fields.
Through telling graphics, the film shows how, in 1977, the West Bengal Government had opened the doors to an agricultural renaissance in Singur. It dug 37 shallow tube wells and three heavy-duty tube wells to irrigate 15 acres of land. It also provided for water supply from the Damodar Valley Corporation. What then, the film asks, triggered this sudden about-face.
A pattern of censorship and harassment
Ladly Mukherjee who spoke to Neelam Kapoor, Director, DFF, on the phone, said, "they have replied to Nandan after they received the FAX from CEO, Nandan on April 30. DFF has reacted strongly stating that a film gets selected for the prestigious Indian Panorama by an eminent and independent panel of juries. Since all these films are censored, no objection can be raised against the selection whatsoever… DFF do not and cannot discriminate between film A and film B for any reason and IP is showcased as a whole package. It is most unfortunate that Nandan took such a step and cancelled the last days screening of IP films."
"We feel that the Nandan authority's decision to cancel the Panorama screenings is a direct attack on our freedom of expression, and a blatant transgression of basic democratic norms. It is thoroughly autocratic and dictatorial in nature. We strongly condemn this action and appeal to all of you to join us in protest," says Media Solidarity in a press release jointly signed by its members.
Related news: Counting of votes in the recent panchayat polls in 17 districts of West Bengal has just ended today (May 22). News reports indicate that the opposition Trinamool Congress party has defeated Left Front candidates in both Singur and Nandigram.
"Stopping a screening or arbitrarily withdrawing a film from Nandan is nothing new. In the recent past Nandan authorities have stopped the screening of Josy Josef's film on the hangman Nata Mullick, A Day In The Life Of a Hangman, and Suman Mukhopadhyay's Herbert, which won a National Award, without any prior notice or showing any valid reason. The state government's stand is not confined to stopping 'discordant' films from being screened in Nandan. Theatre groups and theatre workers, critical of and condemning the government's and the ruling party's atrocities in Singur and Nandigram are facing the outrage too, encountering direct as well as indirect hindrances in staging their plays in different parts of the state," said documentary maker Nilanjan Bhattacharya, member, Media Solidarity.
"The fascistic attacks of the CPI(M) have spread out from political intimidation into the realm of art and culture. All the cultural organisations actively involved in the anti-land grabbing movements are now being subjected to a variety of strong-arm tactics and intimidations from political and administrative quarters. Theatre groups are being denied access to government halls for their shows; last-moment cancellations even after monetary booking of halls, have become a regular feature. Shows in the districts are being cancelled as the authorities claim their inability to continue with the programme due to instructions from political quarters and administrative levels," say noted Dehi-based historians Sumit and Tanika Sarkar. "We feel the trampling of the freedom of speech and expression is in direct defiance of our basic Constitutional Right to Freedom. Yet the state government of Bengal seems to be pursuing this fascistic atrocity with persistent obstinacy," they add.
Sunanda Sanyal, an intellectual of renown, has written in to state, "We know what kind of culture buff the West Bengal Government Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee is. I am none myself. But I think you need not be one to be able to separate out the good, bad and indifferent. I have seen your work and have recommended Whose Land is It Anyway? to many of my friends including those who live abroad. It is a wonderful documentary on exactly what happened at Singur.

Fulfilling his wish that it was still the 1990s in the most literal way yet, Adam Sandler's next Netflix movie will find him once again slipping into the baggy cargo short of decades, playing a '90s-era talent manager in the just-announced Sandy Wexler. According to a press release, the third stage of Netflix's rapidly advancing Adam Sandler condition will find him starring alongside Jennifer Hudson, who will play the aspiring singer and assenting love interest to Sandler's struggling title character. Director Steve Brill—the man behind Little Nicky, Mr. Deeds, and Sandler's most recent Netflix dropping The Do-Over—completes this blessed union of contractual circumstance.
Sandler's character reportedly "diligently represents a group of eccentric clients on the fringes of show business" (a description that could just as easily be applied to Sandler himself), though that diligence is soon tested after he discovers Hudson's Courtney Clarke at an amusement park and finds himself falling for her. For Hudson, the film is another chance for the American Idol finalist to show off her singing and acting talents, which she's done in roles as varied as Dreamgirls, Chi-Raq, and The Three Stooges. For Sandler, as USA Today notes, it's a chance to prove that—as with Salma Hayek in Grown Ups—he is an equal opportunity employer when it comes to casting his disproportionately beautiful female leads. And it's a move toward diversity he still sorely needs, after his previous Netflix outing The Ridiculous 6 offended Native Americans on its way to offending most Americans.
But mostly, Sandy Wexler is a chance for Sandler to return to the formula of nostalgia plus music plus romantic comedy that made The Wedding Singer one of his last genuine successes—and, let's be honest, most likely squander it. Still, the fact that Adam Sandler is making a movie set in the 1990s has to be welcome news for Vanilla Ice, at least.


Originally conceived in Australia, the Haumana is a 118 foot yacht intended for you to discover French Polynesia from the ocean. Offering short cruises of three days in average only, the ship evolves in the middle of the Leeward islands and endeavours to get as close as possible to the mythical islands which contribute to the fame of French Polynesia around the world. The holy island of Raiatea, the mysterious Bora Bora and Taha'a, the Vanilla island, will progressively give away their secrets as you sail in the Pacific ocean.
The small size of the Haumana and its small draught are perfect for small cruises, as it allows it to navigate at sea and through shallower waters. The ship dedicates a great place to intimacy, which is why only eleven double cabins and one panoramic suite were installed, in order to welcome just a few guests.
On the lower deck, you will find a marina at the rear of the ship, which offers a direct access to the lagoon. It will enable you to get into water and practice nautical activities. This platform is also the starting point of your excursions aboard our dinghy.
On this very floor is located the main restaurant of the Haumana where our chief will take a great delight in making you discover the exhilarating savors of Polynesia.
There, are to be found the two Ninamu cabins and, at the front of the ship, the sundeck : a place dedicated to relaxation and farniente only, where you can take a sunbath away from prying eyes or organise a romantic dinner under the starry sky.
On the main deck, a small space is at your disposal outside so that you can enjoy the breeze while gazing at the astounding landscape. Inside, you will find the reception desk and a small library waiting to be explored.
The nine Mahana cabins and the panoramic suite occupy the rest of the floor.
Eventually, if you go upstairs on the upper deck, it will lead you to the bar, a convivial space where you can drink a succulent cocktail while enjoying the whole panorama.
Beyond, the living room offers a great air-conditionned space. Must place for reading, it is also favourable to meet new people and share with the other guests. Perhaps will you have the occasion to play cards or watch a movie on the flat TVscreen of the ship.
As you walk on the top deck, seize the opportunity to meet the captain on the bridge, he will be more than pleased to share its knowledge about navigation and Polynesia.

And He's Gone
When I suggested that Biden aide TJ Ducklo should be fired for his abusive behavior to a reporter, I did not expect this to happen, but now the former Assistant Press Secretary has resigned.
His behavior was indefensible, so it wasn't:
White House deputy press secretary TJ Ducklo has resigned, the day after he was suspended for issuing a sexist and profane threat to a journalist inquiring about his relationship with another reporter.
In a statement on Saturday, Ducklo said he was "devastated to have embarrassed and disappointed my White House colleagues and President Biden".
"No words can express my regret, my embarrassment and my disgust for my behavior," he said. "I used language that no woman should ever have to hear from anyone, especially in a situation where she was just trying to do her job. It was language that was abhorrent, disrespectful and unacceptable."
It is the first departure from the new administration, less than a month into President Joe Biden's tenure, and comes as the White House was facing criticism for not living up to standards set by Biden himself in their decision to retain Ducklo.
During a virtual swearing-in for staff on inauguration day, Biden said "If you ever work with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I will fire you on the spot. No ifs, ands or buts."
Ducklo was suspended for a week without pay on Friday after a report surfaced in Vanity Fair outlining his sexist threats against a female Politico journalist to try to suppress a story about his relationship, telling her "I will destroy you".
Thoughts and prayers, I guess.

If He Were Black, They Would Have Already Shot Him Multiple Times
Instead, it appears that, on the recommendation of an anonymous Kenosha police captain, teen murderer Kyle Rittenhouse and his legal team has been deliberately deceiving the court as to his whereabouts.
Obviously, this from my perspective as a non-lawyer, but this appears to be a BIG no-no for someone who is out on bail:
Prosecutors apparently couldn't find admitted Kenosha killer Kyle Rittenhouse, so now they are seeking a warrant for his arrest.
On Wednesday, the Kenosha County District Attorney's office said Rittenhouse had violated the conditions of his release. Prosecutors said they need a new arrest warrant specifically because Rittenhouse failed to inform the court after changing his address. The defense, however, responded by saying they intentionally concealed Rittenhouse's true whereabouts because a local police captain instructed them to lie about where he was staying.
According to the conditions of his bond, Rittenhouse was supposed to relay such a change within 48 hours of moving. The motion asks Judge Bruce E. Schroeder to issue a new arrest warrant and increase Rittenhouse's bail by $200,000.
The Illinois teenager was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, attempted homicide, and two additional felonies over the admitted shooting deaths of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber. Rittenhouse also severely wounded Gaige Grosskreutz with a rifle carried across state lines. He further faces one misdemeanor charge of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under the age of 18. Rittenhouse was 17 at the time of the August shooting and is now 18.
In sum, the defense says it intentionally wrote the wrong address on the release papers after being advised to do so by local law enforcement. This, the defense claims, was to protect the location of a "safe house" for Rittenhouse.
The motion notes [emphasis in original]: "Pierce was directly informed by a high-ranking member of the Kenosha Police Department not to provide the address of the Rittenhouse Safe House because of the numerous threats made against Kyle and his family."
"While I was completing this form, I was approached by a Kenosha Police Department Captain, who offered his assistance," Pierce continued [emphasis in original]. "I asked the Kenosha Police Captain what address to put on the form. The Kenosha Police Captain told me that I 'absolutely should not' provide the address of the physical location of the Rittenhouse Safe House on the form, but to instead provide his home address in Antioch, Illinois."
There are a couple of points here:
What lawyer doesn't pass this by the f%$#ing judge? (I'm already regretting ending my swearing for February)
What cop tells a defendant in a murder trial to lie to the court?
Well, I guess the answers to this question are pretty straightforward, and the expression, "Racist dirtbag," figures prominently in both.
Rittenhouse needs to spend his pre-trial in jail, and his lawyer should be his cell-mate, at least until he gives up whatever police captain told him to lie to the court.

And In Gender Equity News
A study has shown that weakening unions increases gender inequality:
Barbara Biasi, assistant professor of economics at the Yale School of Management, recently published a study that concluded that eliminating unions increases the gender gap in wages.
She looked at data from Wisconsin, before and after Scott Walker eliminated collective bargaining rights in 2011, in his Koch-funded effort to destroy unions.
Barbara Biasi, an assistant professor of economics at Yale SOM, had an opportunity to examine this question when Wisconsin passed Act 10, legislation that essentially weakened the power of teachers' unions. Afterward, schools had much more latitude in deciding how much to pay teachers.
Five years after union agreements expired, male teachers earned about 1% more per year than female colleagues with similar experience and skills, reported Biasi and her co-author, Heather Sarsons at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. The gender gap was even higher among younger teachers.
The anti-union wing of the Democratic Party (the identity politic folks) has always dismissed unions as bastions of racism and sexism, and the history clearly shows that, but dismissing unions hurts the people that they claim to want to help.
Pass the damn Pro Act, and strengthen the rights of workers to organize.

Oh, Canada!
The Canadian Parliament has passed a resolution asking that the white supremacist group the Proud Boys to be declared a terrorist organization.
I don't think that this could happen in the US, because the Republicans see the Proud Boys as a critical part of their base.
Without Racism, the Right is Nothing
WaPo writer Phillip Bump defends Joe Biden from accusations that targeting racism is in fact an attack on the whole right wing movement in an essay titled, "Biden's targeting of racist extremism is being portrayed as an attack on the right itself."
The ever-racist Rand Paul has accused Biden's of, "Calling us white supremacists, calling us racists, calling us every name in the book."
Paul is saying that, "Biden thinks Republicans are racist liars."
I think that Joe Biden's entire political career shows that he is willing to work with Republicans, and he does not think that they are [all] racists liars.
This is complete bullshit. It is clear that Biden's efforts and pronouncements are a NOT apart of deliberate effort to demonize and perhaps prosecute the his political opposition.
His entire career mitigates against this accusation. Biden has always gone along to get along with the most contemptible people in politics.
However, there is a way that Rand Paul's accusation IS accurate.
Specifically, it should be noted that the modern conservative movement, at least back to the days of William F. Buckley's endorsements of segregation (And arguably as far back as the founding of the Republic), racism has been inseparable from the political right in the United States.
It is transparently obvious that meaningful sustained efforts to fight racism in will necessarily target the right wing.
Short version of this argument: If Rand Paul is concerned that Joe Biden's fighting racism is an attack on him, then Rand Paul needs to stop being a racist dirt-bag.
In Case You Were Wondering Just How Toxic the BJP Is………
It appears that the veneration of Nathuram Godse, the man who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi, is now a thing in India.
I would argue that India is further down the road to Fascism and genocide that Trump ever got, and that the opposition, though careerism and incompetence, cannot seem to do anything to stop it:
Last Sunday, in a nondescript building in the India city of Gwalior, 200 miles south of Delhi, a large crowd of men gathered. Most wore bright saffron hats and scarves, a colour evoking Hindu nationalism, and many held strands of flowers as devotional offerings.
They were there to attend the inauguration of the Godse Gyan Shala, a memorial library and "knowledge centre" dedicated to Nathuram Godse, the man who shot Mahatma Gandhi. The devotional yellow and pink flowers were laid around a black and white photograph of Godse, the centrepiece of the room.
On 30 January 1948, Godse stepped out in front of Gandhi and shot him three times at point-blank range. A fervent believer in Hindu nationalism, Godse thought Gandhi had betrayed India's Hindus by agreeing to partition, leading to the creation of Pakistan, and by championing the rights of Muslims. In 1949, Godse was hanged for Gandhi's murder.
In the following decades, Godse was widely decried as a terrorist and traitor, the murderer of the "father of India". Yet, in recent years, as Hindu nationalism has moved from an extremist fringe to mainstream Indian politics – the ruling Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) has a Hindu nationalist agenda at their core – Godse's public reputation has steadily shifted from being condemned as traitor to being venerated as a misunderstood Indian patriot.
Meanwhile, Gandhi's vision of a secular India with equal rights for all religions has been eroded and subjugated since the BJP came to power in 2014.
"Godse did the right thing by killing Gandhi," said Devendra Pandey, 53, national secretary of Hindu Mahasabha, the Hindu nationalist organisation behind the memorial library. He was vocal in his belief that India should be declared "a country rightfully for Hindus" and that its 200 million Muslims should move to Pakistan.
"Godse considered Gandhi as his father, so to kill him must have caused him great pain but he had a very real reason," he said. "Godse took action because Gandhi betrayed India – this library will teach the next generation how Godse was a true nationalist martyr."
At some point there will be a reckoning in India over the country's embrace of bigotry and its increasingly aggressive attempts to expel and subjugate Muslim Indians.
Would Have Been Better to Address This Early
It turns out that the FBI is conducting background checks on National Guardsmen in the Capitol for the inauguration to make sure that a right-wing terrorist is not embedded in the force.
White Nationalists and their Talibaptist Christian Dominionist brethren have been infiltrating the US State Security Apparatus, both the military (particularly the USAF) and law enforcement.
It comes as no surprise that they are concerned about a random soldier might choose the occasion to engage in assassination.
Getting these folks out of these institutions may be the most important national security issue of the next decade:
U.S. defense officials say the federal government is conducting insider-threat screening on the 25,000 National Guard troops who have begun flowing into the nation's capital to secure the inauguration, as concerns intensify about extremism in the ranks.
The extra precaution comes after a number of pro-Trump rioters involved in storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 turned out to have military ties, raising questions about extremist sentiment within the armed forces. Dozens of people on a terrorist watch list were in Washington as the deadly riot unfolded.
A U.S. defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive preparations, said the Army is working with the FBI to vet all service members supporting the inauguration. The Army maintains awareness of threats but does not collect domestic intelligence itself, the official said. It was not immediately clear how extensive the FBI vetting of the military personnel would be.
As the great Walt Kelly noted, "We have met the enemy, and he is us."
It is going to take a very long time to fix this.
Stochastic Terrorism
The Pigs Walk
The Kenosha County District Attorney has announced that no charges will be filed against the officers that shot Jacob Blake.
The prosecutor is claiming that it will be too tough to convince a jury.
Another corrupt prosecutor covering up for the police:
The top prosecutor in Kenosha, Wis., declined to bring charges against the police officer who shot and gravely wounded Jacob Blake outside an apartment building in August, an episode that sparked protests and rioting and made the city an instant flash point in a summer of unrest that began with the killing of George Floyd.
The decision not to file charges against the officer, Rusten Sheskey, was announced on Tuesday afternoon by Michael Graveley, the Kenosha County district attorney. He said that investigators had reviewed 40 hours of video and hundreds of pages of police reports before making the decision.
The prosecutor said a case against the officer would have been very hard to prove, in part because it would be difficult to overcome an argument that the officer was protecting himself. He said Mr. Blake had admitted to holding a knife — even describing switching it from one hand to another as he moved to open a car door — and that statements from officers and other witnesses indicated that Mr. Blake had turned toward an officer with the knife immediately before he was shot.
"This decision does nothing but shore up that message that Black people are not safe in the United States of America in 2021," Corey Prince, chair of the criminal justice committee of the N.A.A.C.P. in neighboring Racine, said Tuesday. "They continue to devalue Black lives, Black humanity, Black freedom, even when we're with our kids."
The case incited emotions in large part because of the gruesome scene captured by a cellphone video: A Black man being shot in the back multiple times as he moved away from the officer. Even those arguing that the officers acted appropriately conceded that law enforcement needed to figure out how to reach better outcomes in such situations.
They shot him in the back, but the prosecutor cannot be bothered to even try, because it's just a Black man, and notwithstanding the protests, Black lives DON'T matter.
Oh, Snap
The leader of the white supremacist group Proud Boys has been arrested in Washington, DC.
He publicly copped to vandalizing black churches during their last round of rioting, and when he got busted, he was found to be carrying illegal weapons:
The leader of the Proud Boys, the violent far-right group, was arrested in Washington DC and charged with destruction of property and a firearms offense, according to local police.
The arrest of Enrique Tarrio on Monday comes ahead of pro-Donald Trump protests in Washington planned for Tuesday and Wednesday to coincide with the US Congress' vote on Wednesday affirming Joe Biden's election victory.
The demonstrations are organized by the Proud Boys and other rightwing activists, who falsely allege election fraud and want to see the results of the presidential election overturned in Trump's favor.
The property destruction charges are related to Tarrio's admitted role in burning a Black Lives Matter banner torn from a historic Black church during a previous pro-Trump protest in Washington on 12 December, which DC police and the FBI said they had been investigating as a potential hate crime. Police said Tarrio, who lives in Miami, Florida, was arrested after his arrival in the District of Columbia on Monday.
DC police said Tarrio had also been charged with possessing two high-capacity ammunition magazines, which were with him when he was arrested. The District of Columbia, which has some of the strictest firearms laws in the nation, bans the possession of firearm magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.
The National Park Service said it had received three separate applications for pro-Trump protests on Tuesday or Wednesday, with estimated maximum attendance at 15,000 people.
The US capital has mobilized the national guard ahead of the planned protests. Mayor Muriel Bowser requested a limited national guard deployment to help bolster the metropolitan police department, and has asked local area residents to stay away from downtown DC.
"There are people intent on coming to our city armed," said Robert Contee, the acting police chief, on Monday.
Am I a bad person for being VERY amused about all of this?
Why did This Take 9 Months
The Louisville Metro Police Department intend to fire two more police officers involved in the shooting of Breonna Taylor.
Gee, it only took 9 months.
We all know that without the protest, all three officers would still be on the force, and that there would be no criminal charges filed:
The Louisville police officer who fired the shot that killed Breonna Taylor, a Black emergency room technician whose death set off a wave of protests on American streets, was told on Tuesday that the department was moving to oust him from the force, as was a second officer who obtained a judge's approval for the poorly planned nighttime raid on her home.
"Second officer who obtained a judge's approval," is an awfully circuitous way of saying, "LIED TO A JUDGE."
The move is the most significant acknowledgment by the department that its officers had committed serious violations when they burst through Ms. Taylor's door late one night in March, encountered gunfire, and then fired a volley of shots at her and her boyfriend. The terminations mark an effort by the city's interim police chief, Yvette Gentry, to achieve the reckoning she promised when she came out of retirement to lead the troubled department into the beginning of the new year.
Lawyers for Detective Myles Cosgrove, one of the officers who shot Ms. Taylor, and Detective Joshua Jaynes, who prepared the search warrant for the raid, said each had received notices of termination. Both have been on administrative reassignment as the investigations have been underway.
Until now, the only officer held accountable in the case had been Brett Hankison, a detective, who was fired in June for violating the department's deadly force policy by shooting off 10 rounds from outside the apartment through two of Ms. Taylor's windows. He was indicted by a grand jury in September on three counts of wanton endangerment because shots he fired entered a neighboring apartment.
This sort of sh%$ is not going to end until police start being held accountable for their actions.
I may be wrong but I think there's room at the Four Seasons.

Your Monolith Update
The "whacko, my parents are first cousins, X-Files wannabe, black helicopter, tinfoil hat wearing, stupid, dim-witted, thinks pro wrestling is real," has weighed in on this whole monolith thing.
I suppose that it was inevitable that the Christo-Fascist right would decide that we were being too nice to aliens.
No, I don't mean foreigners, I mean that they are bigoted against, "With her pink antenna and her polka dot skin And the 24 dimples on her chinny chin chin, And the hydrogen sulfide of her hair," people.
They tore down the metal menhir, and erected a wooden cross.
I guess we should be grateful that they did not set the cross alight:
The new California monolith was torn down overnight by a group of right-wing young men who livestreamed their vandalism in a grainy video posted on the blockchain streaming site DLive.
In the video, a group of three men are seen pushing the statue over and chanting "America First" and "Christ is King." The men, one of whom was wearing a "Make America Great Again" headband, called part of the monolith's construction "gay" then replaced it monolith with a wooden cross. It is a decidedly bleak turn in the ongoing monolith saga that has generally been a delightful distraction for a world wracked by a pandemic.
"Christ is king in this country. We don't want illegal aliens from Mexico or outer space," a man in the video says. "So let's tear this bitch down."
Seriously, this monolith has had the shortest life cycle of any meme ever.

You Know How Indian Workers Sometimes Beat Their Bosses to Death?
If the American workforce were less compliant, this would be happening at the Tyson pig processing plant in Waterloo, Iowa, where managers had a betting pool as to how many employees would get Covid-19.
Honestly, it probably SHOULD be happening:
A wrongful death lawsuit tied to COVID-19 infections in a Waterloo pork processing plant alleges that during the initial stages of the pandemic, Tyson Foods ordered employees to report for work while supervisors privately wagered money on the number of workers who would be sickened by the deadly virus.
Earlier this year, the family of the late Isidro Fernandez sued the meatpacking company, alleging Fernandez was exposed to the coronavirus at the Waterloo plant where he worked. The lawsuit alleges Tyson Foods is guilty of a "willful and wanton disregard for workplace safety."
Fernandez, who died on April 20, was one of at least five Waterloo plant employees who died of the virus. According to the Black Hawk County Health Department, more than 1,000 workers at the plant — over a third of the facility's workforce — contracted the virus.
The lawsuit alleges that despite the uncontrolled spread of the virus at the plant, Tyson required its employees to work long hours in cramped conditions without providing the appropriate personal protective equipment and without ensuring workplace-safety measures were followed.
The lawsuit was recently amended and includes a number of new allegations against the company and plant officials. Among them:
In mid-April, around the time Black Hawk County Sherriff Tony Thompson visited the plant and reported the working conditions there "shook [him] to the core," plant manager Tom Hart organized a cash-buy-in, winner-take-all, betting pool for supervisors and managers to wager how many plant employees would test positive for COVID-19.
John Casey, an upper-level manager at the plant, is alleged to have explicitly directed supervisors to ignore symptoms of COVID-19, telling them to show up to work even if they were exhibiting symptoms of the virus. Casey reportedly referred to COVID-19 as the "glorified flu" and told workers not to worry about it because "it's not a big deal" and "everyone is going to get it." On one occasion, Casey intercepted a sick supervisor who was on his way to be tested and ordered him to get back to work, saying, "We all have symptoms — you have a job to do." After one employee vomited on the production line, managers reportedly allowed the man to continue working and then return to work the next day.
In late March or early April, as the pandemic spread across Iowa, managers at the Waterloo plant reportedly began avoiding the plant floor for fear of contracting the virus. As a result, they increasingly delegated managerial authority and responsibilities to low-level supervisors who had no management training or experience. The supervisors did not require truck drivers and subcontractors to have their temperatures checked before entering the plant.
In March and April, plant supervisors falsely denied the existence of any confirmed cases or positive tests for COVID-19 within the plant, and allegedly told workers they had a responsibility to keep working to ensure Americans didn't go hungry as the result of a shutdown.
Tyson paid out $500 "thank you bonuses" to employees who turned up for every scheduled shift for three months — a policy decision that allegedly incentivized sick workers to continue reporting for work.
Tyson executives allegedly lobbied Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds for COVID-19 liability protections that would shield the company from lawsuits, and successfully lobbied the governor to declare that only the state government, not local governments, had the authority to close businesses in response to the pandemic.
The lawsuit claims that while Tyson has repeatedly claimed that its operations needed to remain open to feed America, the company increased its exports to China by 600% during the first quarter of 2020.
They didn't care, because it wasn't Wypipo at risk, it was "Mexicans", and who cares if they die.
These people need to go to jail for a long, long time.
Wypipo
Objectively Pro Nazi
Not the Republican Party this time, though they are to Nazis what hot fudge is to a sundae, but rather the overwhelming majority of the state security apparatus of the United States of America, at the federal, state, and local levels:
As protests over police brutality and racial justice broke out this summer, often resulting in harsh responses from law enforcement, police officers across the country have been accused of favoring a violent extremist group that took to the streets to oppose those demonstrators.
The latest example of a cozy relationship between law enforcement and the far-right Proud Boys happened in the nation's capital last week when the Metropolitan Police responded to a stabbing involving members of the Proud Boys and an associate.
Provocateur Bevelyn Beatty and the chairman of the Proud Boys, who was with her, told police they were both stabbed by people associated with Black Lives Matter in a street fight early the morning after the presidential election. The Metropolitan Police Department repeated their claim to media outlets, leading to headlines around the country claiming Black Lives Matter had attacked the Proud Boys.
There's no evidence Black Lives Matter had anything to do with the incident. Police officials have since walked back their initial statements, saying it's unclear whether anyone involved was affiliated with political groups.
The department's willingness to echo the accusations of the Proud Boys is another example of law enforcement's deference to the group, said Michael German, a former FBI special agent who is now a fellow with the Brennan Center for Justice's Liberty and National Security Program.
It's been transparently clear for years that police support white supremacists, and white supremacist violence, while clamping down on left wing protests, particularly when law enforcement misconduct is at the root of those protests.
This must be destroyed root and branch.
Yeah, This Is Appalling
Talk about burying the lede.
In a Washington Post story about Republicans pressuring the (Republican) Secretary of State to throw out legal ballots, we find this bit of horror from Lindsay Graham:
In the interview, Raffensperger also said he spoke on Friday to Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who has echoed Trump's unfounded claims about voting irregularities.
In their conversation, Graham questioned Raffensperger about the state's signature-matching law and whether political bias could have prompted poll workers to accept ballots with nonmatching signatures, according to Raffensperger. Graham also asked whether Raffensperger had the power to toss all mail ballots in counties found to have higher rates of nonmatching signatures, Raffensperger said.
Raffensperger said he was stunned that Graham appeared to suggest that he find a way to toss legally cast ballots. Absent court intervention, Raffensperger doesn't have the power to do what Graham suggested because counties administer elections in Georgia.
"It sure looked like he was wanting to go down that road," Raffensperger said.
(emphasis mine)
The road that Graham was speeding down was, "Invalidate all the mail in ballots from counties with lots of black and brown people."
This has been a core Republican value since (checks notes) before John Roberts worked at the Reagan White House.
The party of Abraham Lincoln is now the party of Jefferson Davis, and one of their most important values is, "Stop n****** from voting."
I do not know how you find common ground with that.
Again, I invoke Robert Graves' paraphrase of Germanicus Caesar.
H/t Atrios.

Boy, I Screwed up This One………
In 2014, as Gamegate affair was metastasizing into an orgy of white male privilege and terrorism, I made fun of what I referred to the "Quinnspiracy", seeing it as little more a controversy about gaming and gaming journalism.
Shortly after that, what was a kind of an inside-baseball controversy became the blueprint for white male (and it is almost always white male) terrorism via the internet.
At the time, I thought that it was a metaphor for the corruption in game journalism, and how it made it difficult for independent studios to get any coverage. (Valid, but irrelevant to what it revealed)
The real story, which was that an army of violent racist, sexist, and homophobic dirt-bags poised to terrorize our society, and in 2016, our electoral politics.
Of Course He Did
In New York City, the commander of the police department's Equal Employment Opportunity Division was just suspended for repeated unhinged racist rants on a law enforcement discussion board.
This is my shocked face:
For more than 20 years, an online chat board called the Rant has been the place where New York City police officers have gone in secret to complain about their jobs — not infrequently using blatantly racist and misogynistic language.
But even by the website's vitriolic standards, scores of recent posts by a user who calls himself "Clouseau" have been especially disturbing.
Between the summer of 2019 and earlier this fall, "Clouseau" posted hundreds of messages on the Rant, many of which attacked Black people, Puerto Ricans, Hasidic Jews and others with an unbridled sense of animus.
He referred to former President Barack Obama as a "Muslim savage" and called the Bronx district attorney, Darcel D. Clark, who is Black, "a gap-toothed wildebeest."
Now, city investigators say they have amassed evidence that "Clouseau" is a high-ranking police official. And not just any high-ranking official — the one assigned to an office responsible for combating workplace harassment in the Police Department.
The police official, Deputy Inspector James F. Kobel, adamantly denied that he had written the racist messages. The posts have been taken down since the Council began its inquiry, and the profile deleted.
Inspector Kobel denied the allegations to his superiors, a police official said. But on Thursday, he was relieved of his command of the Equal Employment Opportunity Division and placed on modified assignment pending completion of the department inquiry.
"That is a drastic step, but we thought it was the appropriate step due to the nature of his given assignment as well as the allegations and what we have learned thus far," the police commissioner, Dermot F. Shea, said. He added that the comments posted by "Clouseau" were "utterly disgusting."
This guy is a deputy inspector. They would not be going after him so aggressively unless they had him dead to rights on this. (The cynic in me considers the possibility that he is being taken down to prevent evidence of law enforcement misconduct from becoming public).
BTW, there is no reason that the rant should not be routinely monitored by internal affairs and civil rights and EEOC staffers.
A racist garbage man can screw up your recyclables, but a racist cop can make you dead.
A Fitting Capstone to the Elections
A group of noe-Nazis defaced a Jewish cemetery in Michigan, but instead of Swastikas, we goe "Donald Trump" and "MAGA".
The world is a truly horrible place:
The red spray-painted letters were first spotted on Monday morning, scrawled on the tombstones in a century-old Jewish cemetery in Grand Rapids, Mich.
"TRUMP," they combined to read across several headstones. Two more gravesites displayed another message in red graffiti: "MAGA."
This act of vandalism at Ahavas Israel Cemetery, discovered hours before President Trump arrived across town to stage his final rally of the campaign, has rattled the tightknit Jewish community in western Michigan's largest city. The crime is being investigated by law enforcement officials, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
Near the end of a bitter, divisive presidential campaign, the desecration marks yet another instance of political tensions apparently producing ugly and sometimes violent attacks. In Florida and the Berkshires, yard signs have been bulldozed and lit on fire. In Boston and Southern California, ballot drop-off boxes have burned to the ground. Across the country, dueling political rallies and protests have devolved into physical confrontations.
Jews need to remember that even if they aren't first on some bigot's hit parade, they are ALWAYS second.

External users are encouraged to access the internet and to monitor email information updates which will help them minimise disruptions to their business.
PACMan and the way suppliers do business with BMW?
Payment and variation claims will be lodged electronically through the PACMan portal.
General Conditions will make the certification in PACMan.
For contractors engaged on AS 2124 (1992) General Conditions and BMW 10 Minor Works General Conditions, the process will remain unchanged. Claims will continue to be submitted according to current practice.
In future contractors will also be able to submit claims online, but this will be developed at a later stage.
Click here for a list of PACMAN glossary of terms. This provides a definition of each field, what data should be entered, the rules, controls and approvals for each field, and what the field is used for (PDF 41 kB). This information continues to be reviewed and the document updated.
Q. Can we have more than one designated user to affect claims processing in PACMan?
A. Yes. Organisations have administrators who are able to log in to do tasks for claims, however please note they cannot act on behalf of the Supers Reps in approving claims for payment. Each individual transacting in PACMan should have their own login to the system.
Q. Are there differing access levels depending on the roles undertaken by external suppliers?
A. Yes. A consultant lodging claims for their services through the Supplier Portal as they did in OCM does not access the PACMan system. A Superintendent's Representative can access the Supplier Portal to lodge their claims for payment. They can also log in to PACMan to enter claims on behalf of contractors and fulfil their role as a Supers Rep.
A. If the version of Internet Explorer you are using is more recent than IE7, you need to ensure compatibility mode is enabled. To do this, open an internet browser page and go to tools > views and select compatibility.
Q. I can log on but have no items in my drop down list.
A. Please contact your Project or Contract Manager. If you can log into PACMan but cannot see any projects/contracts, this means you have not been "named" correctly in the system.
