https://patch.com/new-york/northfork/s/h6148/long-island-man-seriously-hurt-when-firework-explodes-in-his-faceAccording to Suffolk police, Carlos Diaz was attending a family gathering in the backyard of a home on Robert Court in Port Jefferson when he attempted to light a mortar-style firework at about 10:05 p.m. The device exploded and struck Diaz in the face, severely injuring one of his eyes.
Diaz, of Port Jefferson Station, was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
Consumer fireworks are illegal in New York, but they were certainly abundant in Long Island skies Saturday night.
On average, 180 people go to the emergency room every day in the United States with fireworks-related injuries during the month around the Fourth of July holiday.
About Kanye running-- I mentioned this earlier, but he's one of 1,112 registered with the FEC...
If he's actually registered, that is.

A candidate for president must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, at least 35 years old, and a resident of the United States for at least 14 years.[2]
A candidate may declare his or her candidacy at any time, but once he or she receives contributions or make expenditures in excess of $5,000, the candidate must register with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) within 15 days.[2]

Then follows the full list of everyone registered so far.
I have somehow found myself checking out a Diablo 12 gauge pistol and have a question...
Does this thing have a problem with shotgun short barrel lengths, or is it considered a pistol so can have 6" barrel?
(At any rate, I'm not sure it's all that useful, but it is fascinating.)
Fireworks have started-- big time.
Joey Chestnut does it again..

Listening to Biden speaking. It's not that difficult to sound presidential, but...
we haven't heard it for so long it feels damn good.
Treason doesn't really cut it-- Trump ignoring Russia's bounties is revolting, but...
may not actually rise to treason.
Historically, treason meant to try to displace the King, or his Lords. The Confederacy could be argued to be treason, but even there it fall short since we don't have a King. I suppose it would work just saying overthrow the government without getting personal. But, even then they weren't overthrowing the government, just getting away from it. And they lost, so fuck 'em.
(Note that the Rosenbergs weren't tried for treason, just espionage. Tokyo Rose, Axis Sally, and Lord Haw Haw, were tried for treason, since they worked for the enemy during war time. Haw Haw was hanged by the Brits, but the American women who took up the other roles were given jail time.)
But, I digress. The crime that fascinates me is the old Admiralty offense of barratry. Nowadays it often means filing frivolous lawsuits (also a Trump habit) or ambulance chasing, but it also means the captain and/or crew attempting to steal the ship from the owners. This was once a bigger problem with crews taking over cargo ships and becoming pirates. That kinda sounds like what Trump & Crew is doing with the Republic.
Charge Trump with taking over the government from the people, its rightful owners, and taking off for a life of international piracy.
Sound right?
Mikey, Mikey, Mikey... I just heard that you said earlier that you had so much concern for our...
rights for free speech and thought that wearing masks makes us all almost un-American.
That First Amendment allows us to refuse vaccinations, masks, scientific education of our children, and all sorts of other things.
WELL, NO IT DOESN'T!
It allows us free thought, but does not allow us to endanger others with those thoughts.
Cat and bear become friends...
Unfortunately, this is one of those hated clickbait things where you have to hit the "Next" button to get through it, but it is worth it.
