Seems T-mobile are updating their terms of service. I see some lawsuits coming if they actually enforce their new code of conduct. BTW who decides what hate speech is. I wonder if they will fine people who are Trump supporters who say they will vote for him. They even say about swearing they will fine you. . We will see what will happen. I thought about t-mobile but not now. Look at the video 11:45 and it has terms of service that shows about campaign content. Are they going to start fining all republicans if they do not agree with their views. Also why are they reading your texts etc?
 
 

The Michigan Supreme Court has rejected an attempt to disqualify Trump from the ballot 

Because Trump is a supposed Anarchist without it even being proven.  Parts of our country are stark raving nuts!

CHRIS BENNETT For Farm Journal       How much power does the government claim on private land? “Unfettered,” according to a Commonwealth Court decision in a case pitting the Pennsylvania Game Commission against two private gun clubs.
On Sept. 29, a court ruled against two hunting clubs in their lawsuit accusing the Game Commission of private property rights violations. The Institute for Justice represents both clubs and will appeal.
In its ruling, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania noted the government’s absolute power to “roam private land without consent, warrants or probable cause.”
“Private land isn’t public property,” says institute attorney Josh Windham. “That might seem obvious. But all too many officials, at every level of government, disagree. They think they have a blank check to invade private property. We’ll see what the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has to say about that.”
On Dec. 16, 2021, Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney hunting clubs sued the Game Commission after game wardens consistently entered club lands without permission or warrant, and secretly monitored club members, including photo collection via installation of a hidden game camera. The wardens’ behavior, the lawsuit asserted, was a direct violation of Pennsylvania’s state constitution, which explicitly protects “persons, houses, papers, and possessions.”
Most Americans assume law enforcement must obtain a warrant to enter or surveil private land, but for roughly a century, the Open Fields doctrine has allowed government officials, at state and federal levels, unqualified access to private land.
In its judgment Sept. 29, the Commonwealth Court detailed the alarming powers and “unfettered discretion” assumed by government via Open Fields:
“The facts of this case are not in dispute. The Hunting Clubs are member-owned hunting clubs that own thousands of acres of private land in Clearfield County. Members use the properties to hunt, vacation, and enjoy nature. To ensure their members’ privacy, the Hunting Clubs have posted their properties with no trespassing signs and have installed gates at all entrances to exclude nonmembers and intruders. However, the Entry Statutes empower game wardens with unfettered discretion to enter upon and roam private land without consent, warrants, or probable cause.”
In ruling against the two hunting clubs, the Commonwealth Court was bound by precedent set in Pennsylvania v. Russo (2007), when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court said “possessions” do not include private land.
The Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney lawsuit now moves to appeal. The hunting clubs, represented by Institute for Justice, will seek to overturn the Russo decision, and ask the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to address a pressing question: Does the state constitution protect citizens from warrantless searches on private land?
“Russo was wrongly decided and we’re eager to show the Pennsylvania Supreme Court why,” Windham says. “The Open Fields doctrine destroys the point of having private land. It treats fences, gates, posted signs and everything else you might do to keep your land private, as irrelevant.
“And, in turn, it gives the government unfettered power to enter your land, roam around, spy on you, take photos, record videos, take soil samples, ride around in bikes, trucks even horses, all without a warrant. We’re supposed to think that’s constitutional?”
Presently, six states place state constitutional authority above the Open Fields doctrine: Mississippi, Montana, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.
The Pitch Pine and Punxsutawney arguments before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court should take place in 2024, with a decision likely in 2025. Institute for Justice is currently litigating similar Open Fields cases in Virginia and Tennessee about warrantless intrusions on private land.
In an Oct. 2 Institute release, Frank Stockdale, president of the Punxsutawney Hunting Club, summarized the private land ownership case: “The government has no right to spy on us on our own land without cause. This entire endeavor has been outrageous and needs to end now.”

None of the questions are worth answering.  Should anyone dare to answer with anything positive, you would consider them to be stupid.
I do feel a bit sad for you, but no doubt contributed highly to your situation.  I feel sad for you that you think your life sucks and that you believe you don't count for anything. (Why else would you ask these questions?)
Is my my life perfect?  Probably not, but it far from sucks.  I have a great wife of about 40 years, 3 great, successful kids,  and some grandkids running around.  Not rich, but financially sound.  I don't have everything I want, but have more than I need.  In reasonable good health, barring a few aches and pains and the general wear and tear of getting older.  Have a modest number of (nearly) life-long friends with whom I can share a drink, meal, and a laugh or two. 
I may not matter much in the the grand scheme of things.  Nothing I have done altered the history of mankind.  Surely, within 50 years after my death I will be largely fogotten.  However, at this time, I count for those people I call friends and family.  And they count for me.
No doubt you will call me delusional or some other attempt at a derogatory term.  It matters not.  You can wander off into your pit of gloom, doom, and woe.

What's going on in the Senate Hearing room??
 

BOO HOO Hunter!! 
 
 

Thanks COVID!! 
 

PS ... Wait until you hear the actual election count. It wasn't even close 

find a welder and have them make you one

Try VanDykes Restorations. They have a lot of hardware options/styles/ products.

That's not exactly what I was looking for, but it would work!  Our door handles are not round, but a lever which the dogs have learned to open on their own. I have to tie the door shut to keep them out of the bedrooms and bathroom during the day, but then you have to untie and retie it all the time.  We thought of a hook lock, but if anyone was back there and tried to get out while the hook lock on the other side was fastened, I'll bet there would be some human yelling involved!
I love the idea of something antique and novel that would work, and this might do the trick.

Big Bonuses, Vast Powers and Corruption Charges: 5 Takeaways from an Investigation into DuBois’ Herm Suplizio – GantNews.com
Yes, they all deserve their day in court to answer the questions of the people and defend themselves from the charges levied. Now that Election Day and Thanksgiving has passed (which shouldn't have anything to do with anything) let it ALL come down. Gant Daily has done some 'real' journalism on this. It's sad so few journalists exist. Again and I stress, they deserve their day in court. We The People absolutely deserve answers as well.

and so the butts seated at city council wanted so badley to keep paying them , to provide benefits and pensions 
 So how many of these gifters will appear on the list or had accounts  that the supposed accused  kept in secret ?

It looks like Herm may have been abandoned by his government cronies!  45 years....yikes!
Now the Federal Government has finally stepped in.  I guess that I'm surprised, yet not surprised that Bobbie had a hand in this.  Too bad.
Just wait till the IRS gets its day in court.

If convicted, everyone that had a part, needs hung, including the waste company that made the pay-offs.

Gambling has been a goal for this area for a long time.  At some point in time in the past, there was an attempt to start a casino at the Tannery Dam hotel.  It was in the Courier and it was denied.  Gambling goes hand in hand with sports.  
Now, you fill in the blanks.

If I were a betting man in VEGAS? Some looked the other way.

Much damage has already been done to this area and if convicted, the public must demand full disclosure of everyone involved.  There are parties on the peripheral that may not have done anything illegal (assuming a conviction), but they certainly should have known something was not right.  If the indicted are found guilty, I certainly hope the city pursues a civil trial to claw back identified money (this is in addition to criminal penalties).

Sad story. There are thousands of these stories on both sides but Israel did not start this. The last 50 to 60 years who are the ones who keep attacking people.
Between 1979 and May 2021, we counted 48,035 Islamist terrorist attacks around the world, which have resulted in the deaths of at least 210,138 people.
France was the country most affected by Islamist terrorism in the European Union, with 82 attacks committed on its soil between 1979 and May 2021. At least 332 people were killed in these attacks.

If these Islamist terrorists would just stop the killing imagine how the world would begin to heal and maybe just maybe everyone could prosper.
The problem is war is big business for America, Russia and China profiting off of weapons sales.
