I have now been on the phone for an hour and 15 minutes with Kaiser Permanente. They called me to tell me there is a billing problem. It was an auto-call. When I went through their phone tree I got an operator, finally. Three operators and an hour later we are finally getting to the fact that the billing error is their fault and on their end. Frankly I have a bit of a murderous rage going at Kaiser right now.

Mike Lynn is long gone.

Flip that over and you have an owl.

By the Way, the questions on a juror questionaire are some standard ones the Court always asks and then questions submitted by both the Defense and the prosecution to the Court and then argued over before the Court agrees to include them. the longest questinaire i was ever associated with amounted to 112 questions and it went out to a venire of 500 potential jurors. How much of that information we really processed who can say, though we believe we had a handle on it all.

In most high profile and first degree murder cases, and capital cases The jury pool gets sent a questionaire, often fairly in depth, before they report. We Prosecutors have a fairly in depth profile just from that. We can, and do, frankly, conduct additional searches on some of the jurors, if not all of them. Doing so is not unscrupulous. Only contacting them or their family and employers would be unscrupulous, but information we humans put out there in the ether, reputations we have, records we have created or have been created on us that are in the public domain are free game.

The difficulty is that idiots think their fantastical doubts and fantasies are reasonable doubts. A good defense attorney looks for that juror, tries the case to them, and in closing tries to butress that jurors self-image by implying only the truely uniquely insightful can see things as do they.

No responsible judge would allow that irrelevant and immaterial information as it is not a legal defense that you don't like the industry. So maybe Judge Merchan.

Getting 12 Americans to agree gravity seems to work pretty consistently on this planet is a difficult proposition. Getting 12 Americans to agree on anything is a difficult proposition, particualrly getting them to agree beyond a reasonable doubt. That said, that is what Prosecutors do, routinely. In this instance, if they feel the defense is making a run at jury nulification because folks don't like insurance companies the Prosecutor, in their close needs to address that. We Americans also don't like bankers, lawyers, real estate agents, telemarketers, auto repair places, the post office, congress, the DMV and a host of other occupations or agencies. In closing the Prosecutor need simply argue that persons in those occupations are not deserving of vigilante executions with the vigilante being exonerrated. The Prosecutor need only list the occupations of the jurors themselves as not justifying vigilantism as there is a good chance the jury can be packed with persons from unpopular occupations.

I am confident he will be properly welcomed back into his community by those he wrongfully sentenced, those who were educated in an institutionalized environment and who are now in their twenties and thirties.

Looks like we may have a Trinity.

I like it. Mine is equiped with a speaker and I blast Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells through it. Tthinking of changing to Pink Floyd's Meddle album tonight.

Life boats have a capacity limit. Those who out of compassion seek to take in more than the capacity end up sinking the boat and killing all on board..

Ahhh, payback. A time honored tradition. Revenge, the dish best served cold. Seems possible.

You clearly do not understand the highlighted words. "is" is a present tense. "was" is the past tense. As for "whole" it means entire or sole. Being a refuge for citizens of another country, if it were and remains our entire raison d' etre would have been enshrined in our Constitution. It is not. Sure, at one time, primarily before we were an independent country of our own, one of the motivations for settlement here, against the better interests of the natives I might add, was as a religious and economic refuge. That was one of the reasons, but not the primary reason as the primary reason then was exploration for exploitation. Early on as a country we tolerated or welcomed immigrants as we had space, did not spend government resources on immigrants, and perceived ourselves as weak and in need of a population to maintain our selves as a country least we be conquered by the very State we rebelled against. You may have heard of their efforts to do so, we named it the War of 1812. Again, at that time we did not amend our constitution to enshrine being a refuge as our reason for being. The world has changed over the centuries. You might have heard something about it. There has been an industrial and then tech revolutions, women can own property now and vote, we no longer enslave Africans physically, we simply economically enslave Uighers. In this new age persons seek government resources when they come here. That would be alright by me if government had resources, but they don't, they take their resources confiscatoraly from folks like me. We cannot be a country if we do not control our membership. That does not mean cutting off immigration, but it does mean cutting off illegal, uncontrolled immigration.

Remembering back to when I was a 13 year old boy I would say these girls could have goten me out of my funk over a damn vido game player pretty quickly. https://media.gettyimages.com/id/628833492/photo/orlando-magic-v-charlotte-hornets.jpg?s=594x594&w=gi&k=20&c=Dv0uq1hb9LDHg9CtSMJqN8r6qtCWLgE5HA-AbwBbdiM=

Or maybe they will try another country for their refuge. Or maybe they will spend all that effort trying to make their country a better place. Lets find out.

I don't think that will offer much deterrence. I think what offers more deterrence is those we stop and the border and ship back to where they started from so they can tell others that risking their lives, risking rape and starvation and months of depradation are definately not worth the effort since in the end all that happens is you get sent back.

Since the story originally broke and was criticized we have had 4 of the individuals shown in the original video arrested and charged with murder. We have had at least two arrested for a running (driving) gun battle down Havanna Street following the Venezualean election results in which gun battle an unmarked police car was hit with gunfire and a pedestrian shot. (the investigation and arrests took many months, they were just completed) Now we have the latest incident where 14 to 19 (depends on the reporting) Venezualans who seen like the belong to Tren De Aragua have been arrested for kidnapping and torturing illegals who reside in the apartment complex featured in the original story from late summer. The local paper, the Aurora Sentinel also has had a story reporting that these individuals gather at a local park weekend nights, taking over the place, before heading out to race around the city, defying police efforts to pull them over.

I welcome the transparency, if partisan investigations can actually offer such. As the investigation had partisan overtones I will take the report with a grain of salt, though I believe it will be based at least partially, if not in fact mostly on truth. As an attorney I do worry about precedent. Now that the door has been cracked open a bit who or what will batter that door completely down. In trials we attorneys look for the opposing side to open the door to admission of inadmissable evidence. It happens all the time. Me, when it happened I did not gently dip my toe in those waters, I dove right in. Asfopr this particular incident, my mind is already made up on Matt Gaetz. I pretty much accept that he paid for sex snd drugs with under-aged girls.

Historically.History can be an interesting marker, a reference point, some guidance, but it is not a prohibition against change. Historically women could not vote, until they could, Blacks were not allowed to become members at Augusta National, and governments paid bounties for Indian scalps.

That is an unattractive woman.

If he is going to stare at his meat he should do so in private, not at a diner.

My Jesus knowledge is limited, but didn't Mary and maybe Mary Magdeline tend his body when it came down from the cross? If so that would have made his mother remarkably old for those times. She would then have been 48 or 49.
