I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news. I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.
According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.
Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.
The arrested the guy the next day.
What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.

In reaching that result, Judge Cannon took several steps that specialists said were vulnerable to being overturned if the government files an appeal, as most agreed was likely. Any appeal would be heard by the Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit in Atlanta, where Mr. Trump appointed six of its 11 active judges.
Paul Rosenzweig, a former homeland security official in the George W. Bush administration and prosecutor in the independent counsel investigation of Bill Clinton, said it was egregious to block the Justice Department from steps like asking witnesses about government files, many marked as classified, that agents had already reviewed.
“This would seem to me to be a genuinely unprecedented decision by a judge,” Mr. Rosenzweig said. “Enjoining the ongoing criminal investigation is simply untenable.”
"Unprecedented" is the current state of Trump's influence in politics, public commentary and personal conduct.

Food waste is a thing on a massive scale in rich countries. When I used to work some with the homeless one of the local groceries stores contributed perfectly good expired food to the kitchen.
So is waste in general. My sister is part of a group that gets things stores throw out. A package is ripped, the whole thing gets thrown out. A pan has a dent, it gets thrown out. She's gotten silverware, pots and pans, vacuum cleaners, all kinds of toiletries, on and on and on. She donates a lot of things to hospice and other groups.
I agree. We have a problem with our trash. Especially trash that isn't in any way biodegradable. That trash problem was featured (at least visually) in the comedy movie "Idiocracy".
Let's review Trump's recent thinking and measure it against American democracy...
Quote
Trump sketched out a vision that a new Republican Congress could enact sweeping new emergency powers for the next Republican president. The president would be empowered to disregard state jurisdiction over criminal law. The president would be allowed to push aside a “weak, foolish, and stupid governor,” and to fire “radical and racist prosecutors”—racist here meaning “anti-white.” The president could federalize state National Guards for law-enforcement duties, stop and frisk suspects for illegal weapons, and impose death sentences on drug dealers after expedited trials.
Much of this may be hot air. All of it would require huge legal changes, and some of it would require the 6–3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court to overturn established precedents. You should listen to Trump’s speech less as an agenda of things to be done, and more as an indication of the direction of Trump’s thought.
Which conservatives are elevating Trump or dismissing his intentions?

A sobering article. Trump has a knack for hiring incompetents who are mainly interested in padding their back accounts. The few competent experts quit when they find out how really stupid and craven he is. He could have done so much more damage if Rudy wasn't a drunken fool.
A New Mexico judge on Tuesday removed January 6 rioter and Cowboys for Trump founder Couy Griffin from his elected position as a county commissioner for his role in the US Capitol attack.
The ruling was the result of a lawsuit seeking Griffin's removal, which alleged that he violated a clause in 14th Amendment of the Constitution by participating in an "insurrection" against the US government. He had been convicted of trespassing earlier this year.
The historic ruling represents the first time an elected official has been removed from office for their participation or support of the US Capitol riot. It also marks the first time a judge has formally ruled that the events of January 6, 2021, were an "insurrection."
The challenge to a peaceful transfer of power after President Donald J. Trump lost the 2020 election has worsened “an extremely adverse environment” for the U.S. military, according to an open letter signed by several top generals and former defense secretaries.
The letter does not mention Mr. Trump by name. But in 16 points on the principles that are supposed to define civil-military relations, the signatories issued a thinly veiled indictment of Mr. Trump and the legions of his followers who called on the military to support his false claim that the election was stolen from him.
“Military officers swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution, not an oath of fealty to an individual or to an office,” the bipartisan group wrote, adding later, “It is the responsibility of senior military and civilian leaders to ensure that any order they receive from the president is legal.”

Like I said above, without announcing that he's even running, he's laid out the agenda of what it's going to be like with him as President.
I've always thought that Dr. Oz promoted quackery. Something he said back in 2014 is coming back to haunt him. When a listener was concerned about having sex with a cousin.
Blowing off the listeners anguish, he said "That’s fine...benign even" and later talked to the host: "You know, that’s why children, girls don’t like their fathers’ smell. Their pheromones will actually repel their daughters because they’re not supposed to be together,” Oz told the hosts. “My daughters hate my smell.”
I tried to Google this and there was some article that a father's smell but not much out there, but admittedly I didn't use the academic side of Google. I'm sure it was peer reviewed but not sure if it's replicated.

Chemical cues from fathers may be delaying the onset of sexual maturity in daughters, as part of an evolutionary strategy to prevent inbreeding, according to researchers at Penn State.
The study, reported in this Saturday's British weekly New Scientist, suggests that the aversion family members have for each other's scent helps prevent incest.
A T-shirt sniffing test has revealed that women unwittingly prefer the smell of men who have similar genes to their dads. But this is no Freudian Oedipal complex.
Instead, it appears to be a tactic in a poorly understood evolutionary game, where the prize is either greater resistance to disease, or an unconscious ability to spot distant relatives in a sea of strangers.
The genes in question form part of the major histocompatibility complex, or MHC, and encode various components of the immune system. These genes are thought to be tightly linked to others that dictate our natural odour.
Research on animals has shown that female mice sniff out males with different MHCs to their own, prefering them to mates with a similar genetic make up. Women were also thought to do the same, according to one study in which women sniffed T-shirts worn for a couple of nights by men.

Might seem a weird topic and statement, but not really in the context of a discussion on the radio show he was on. And, he wasn't necessarily wrong.
Nit even relevant, imo. But his opponent can make some hay out of it. Especially as he continues to campaign mostly by Twitter.
There's already some hay being made out of because I came across it. By tomorrow it's sure to go away.
Using social media to campaign is nothing new. Obama used it very effectively.
This is the time of year I really tire of rhetoric. For example here Crist is saying people are going to lose their home over the state owned insurance company getting approval for a 6% increase. He lives in an area here in Tampa Bay that still has double digit inflation and unfavorable housing during his tenure as our congressman. This at a time when private insurers are going up as much as 50% in some instances (25% in my case). Also DeSantis is getting the blame for the insurance situation here. It's very bad and he's trying but he's not the cause. It's his to own however.
Republicans are no better. I'm particularly tired of Trump. I have to accept the fact he won't go away.
Apparently spreading lies and misinformation and overblowing minor events is the norm. I tire of it.
