In short, the Court interpreted FAAAA of 1994 to preempt state laws “related to a price, route, or service” of a broker. It does not, however, preempt laws concerning “the safety regulatory authority of a State,” and "common-law duties and standards of care form part of a State’s authority to regulate safety.”

Not fight to keep the vestiges of a war that tore this country apart because some people wanted to keep black people as chattel property.

Really not that difficult to figure out.

re: Just Heard A Pretty Decent Joke.....

I always say there's nothing like a good joke.




And that was nothing like a good joke.
quote:

A team of researchers — 4 statisticians, 2 pharmacologists, 1 former FDA regulator — published their findings on a decentralized server Wednesday. The paper is 147 pages. Peer review was impossible because no journal would touch it. So they released it directly to the public.
Peer review was impossible?

quote:

Lot numbers ending in 20A through 20F: near-zero adverse events. Saline. Placebo. Water with a label.

Lot numbers ending in 21K through 21X: moderate adverse events. Fatigue. Myocarditis. Blood clots. Hospitalization rates 300% above baseline.

Lot numbers ending in 22R through 22Z: catastrophic. Stroke. Cardiac arrest. Neurological damage. Death rates 8,100% above the statistical norm for any pharmaceutical product in history.

Three tiers. Three formulas. . . .

The distribution pattern wasn't random. The catastrophic lots were sent disproportionately to specific zip codes. Zip codes with high concentrations of military veterans. First responders. Independent business owners. Communities with historically low compliance to federal mandates. The people most likely to resist were given the most dangerous doses.

The moderate lots went to urban centers with high media consumption — populations that would report mild symptoms, be told it was "normal," and return for boosters without question.

The placebo lots went to politicians, media figures, and pharmaceutical executives. The people who promoted it on camera. The people who told you it was "safe and effective" while receiving saline.
They took the same shot on television. They did not take the same formula.

Earlier this month, Fayetteville Police arrested an 18-year-old for painting swastikas on buildings, public equipment, etc.

Although the police press release clearly identified that suspect Taquon Jameek Vereen was black

Curiously, this fact was omitted from mainstream media reporting in WRAL, CBS17, and the Fayetteville Observer


However, the latter publication did make sure to note that swastikas are "commonly associated with Nazi ideology and white supremacist groups" and are "widely recognized as symbols of hate"
I wonder if the "mainstream media" provided his name (Taquon Jameek Vereen) and a picture of him?

And the Rosenberg's were electrocuted.
Julius Rosenberg was convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage. He was a spy who passed atomic secrets to the Soviets.

While Ethel Rosenberg was convicted of the same crime, she was probably not guilty and should not have been executed.

Eileen Wang, mayor of Arcadia, did not commit espionage. To the contrary, she disseminated propaganda.

re: Data center land grab in Jawja

Because they are allowing data centers to be built? WTF is going on here?
The title of the thread suggests that land is being taken to build a data center.

That is NOT what happened.

Georgia Power is using its eminent domain power to increase its powerline easements. The powerlines in question go to a data center.

This same thing could have happened in any state in the country.

In fact, Georgia amended its constitution after Kelo to restrict eminent domain specifically to "public use," making it harder for private, for-profit entities to acquire land.
quote:

That brings the death penalty option. Not the act of Treason itself. Defined by the Constitution as levying war against the U.S. or aiding enemies.
Do you know the definition of "enemy" for treason?
quote:

Since when is that a prerequisite for treason?
Since the founding of this country.
quote:

They used to call that treason!
It's not treason.

KELO v. New London really needs to get overturned or massively reigned in.
This is not a KELO situation. The land for the data center was not taken.

The property at issue was taken as part of a typical powerline taking.

We are not currently in open, armed conflict with China.
Since when is that a prerequisite for treason?
Article III, Section 3, Clause 1 or 18 U.S.C. § 2381:
quote:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
Enemies requires open, armed conflict. While China is a top geopolitical threat, competitor, and adversary, treason requires open and armed conflict, not just adversarial rivalry.

Currently, Iran is an enemy; China is not.

How is this not treason?
We are not currently in open, armed conflict with China.

Where does the "Tigers" nickname come from
Shhhh
quote:

The LSU Tigers nickname, adopted in 1896, originates from Civil War history, specifically honoring the "Louisiana Tigers," a famed brigade of Confederate soldiers known for their ferocity.

Every five years or so, this myth is posted on TigerDroppings.

The "Tigers" nickname came from the way the players were dressed when they played Tulane in 1895:
quote:

It was the custom at that time, for some occult reason, to call football teams by the names of vicious animals; the Yale Bulldogs and the Princeton Tigers, for example. This is still the vogue. It struck me that purple and gold looked Tigerish enough and I suggested that we choose “Louisiana Tigers,” all in conference with the boys.
It is true that the Louisiana Tigers had represented Louisiana in the Civil War and had been known for their hard fighting. Tigers was applied collectively to the New Orleans Zouaves, the Donaldsonville Cannoniers, and to a number of other Louisiana companies sent to Virginia.

The Tigers head symbol came from the Washington Artillery of New Orleans that adopted the symbol years before the Civil War.

We know O needed the money.

We know O wanted to get back into D-Line coaching.

I guess he couldn't get a college job, so he's coaching privately.

It's a shame how far he has fallen.
