Echoes of Deutchland Uber Alles and the Panzerlied are in my brain at the moment.
What could go wrong with Germany militarizing for a third time?
Would that be a 4th Reich?
I am so confused...

SPLC isn't "government"
The DOJ refered to the SPLC as a most credible source internally and externally for many years. They used SPLC assertions as very credible without any oversight.

Cruel ailment.
5 stated goals of criminal dispositions:
Deterrence
Punishing in a manner to make people avoid criminal behavior.
Retribution
Vengeance. Not sugar coated.
Restitution
Paying victims back for the heir loss. Rarely, if ever truly happens, but politicians like to talk about it.
Incapacitation
Rendering the perpetrator incapable of harming others - temporarily by incarceration or permanently damaging them by maiming or executing them.
Rehabilitation
Hoping miscreants will become good people through training and counseling. This has had mixed results but is plan A for most courts in the modern area - whether or not it works.
Even worse is our bail reform movement combined with the failure to prosecute serious crimes.
We are encouraging crime through such lapses.
The truth is that our societal failures have produced a large number of offenders who will just not ever quit offending. If we value innocent life, we need to consider taking some guilty ones.

I do photography and make mine a card with several images and a message. It makes her happy and she looks at it many times and rereads it. Lessens the number of times that I have to explain who I am.
No other gift really has any effect.
Cruel condition.
Her confusion is heartbreaking, but the images get smiles.

I can just imagine seeing you tell your mother that you chose to kill her cat because it was convenient for you at the moment.
Seriously, I would give the cat a chance to adapt to the new environment.
I say this mostly out of respect for your mother as I am really not a fan of most cats.

This man did not just randomly react.
He was prepared.
I would bet that this man has been through serious training. That immediate action comes from having made a plan in advance, rapidly recognizing what is happening, knowing what will happen if there is any delay and committing to what must be done now.
He knew what he was risking and measured up when it mattered.
Hero on display.

I would make the appointment and then tell him it’s time to leave. Don’t let it become a conversation or argument. Be insistent and demanding until he gets in the car with

But you need to make sure that the neurologist actually works memory care issues as their specialty rather than other areas within that general area. It is easy to wind up in the wrong environment if you do not check things out before you get there.
Been dealing with this ailment with one family member for a long time and it is on the horizon with another.

quote:You should realize that this is a volcanic island and much of the improvements are high and dry. Most will just close their storm shutters and wait while the storm passes. Hopefully, they have stock piled water and durable food with a method of cooking the food, because they will lose power for a while.
My though would be, the island is gonna go under water
The buildings along the beaches are mostly restaurants, shops and hotels which are along the relatively protected Tumon Bay area.
I spent some time there and saw a smaller storm, so I am familiar with the situation.
Saipan is more vulnerable in position and infrastructure. They have my greater concern.
