Hiring a hit man is not a crime of violence -- even in cases where the killer fulfills his contract and his employer is convicted in the conspiracy, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled this week.
In a unanimous decision, a three-judge panel vacated two felony convictions that stemmed from a pair of contract killings negotiated to settle an oil well dispute in North Dakota.
The court found that although trucking and drilling magnate James Henrikson had paid Timothy Suckow tens of…

I haven't been posting much lately...
Over the weekend one of our cats had to go do the emergency vet due to crystals blocking his urinary tract. An x-ray then showed kidney stones and he needed surgery.
He's back home recovering, on drugs, not happy about the cone, making a mess of everything, and we're thankful we could save his life.
I mean, we are now broke, in credit card debt, and canceling next years holiday, but, hey... cats! We love 'em!

For years Natalie Harp has only been a minor character in the Trump Cinematic Universe.
But all that changed this week when Jon Ossoff, a Democratic senator and possible 2028 presidential contender,
accused Trump in a campaign speech of wanting to “build his ballroom and travel with Natalie” instead of doing his job.
The remark triggered a tsunami of online speculation about the precise nature of the relationship
and a furious backlash.
On Monday Trump lashed ou…

Georgia State University has rescinded a job offer given to a high profile activist
who is currently fighting a case in which he allegedly wiped a security-focused Android phone
before Customs and Border Protection (CBP) could search it.
The case, which 404 Media first covered and has now received widespread and national attention,
has important ramifications for privacy
and when someone can still be charged with an offense even if authorities don’t have suspic…

"I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in The Hague,” Mamdani said.
“He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court,
and what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many,
purely because of what his actions have wrought over these past many years.”
The International Criminal Court issued a warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest in 2024 for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Palestine,
including “s…

We know from polling that voters want us to be talking about preserving their rights and freedoms (No Kings)
and not just “kitchen table issues”
and that there is nothing more intrinsically American than fighting for freedom and democracy.
We also know from polling, lots and lots of polling, that voters believe that our hearts are in right place
but question our toughness, and whether we are strong enough to be able to fight and deliver for them.
So we should se…
