What caught your attention in the world today?

Published

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.

Howell, in a sealed ruling that served as her final before stepping down as chief judge, ordered Corcoran to testify in the probe, determining that the Justice Department had presented sufficient evidence that his legal advice may have been in furtherance of a crime — igniting the crime fraud exception that allows the piercing of attorney-client privilege. 

Bold mine. 

If there's actual evidence then it's not a political witch hunt, right? 

The official Trump response;

Quote

"Shame on Fake News ABC for broadcasting ILLEGALLY LEAKED false allegations from a Never Trump, now former chief judge, against the Trump legal team,”...

Do those seem like the words of a world leader of like the words of a crazy man trying to avoid accountability and legal consequences for unacceptable conduct?

Arkansas has a long-standing teacher shortage.  It's completely understandable why it won't improve when teachers are required to become a part of a gestapo.  Another poor state that just keeps shooting itself in the foot in a revolving door of poverty.  

Almost every state has teacher shortages.

I watch it listen to most WH press briefingsand have four years so I have a good basis for comparison.  Decorum is nearly dead in the era of Trump.  TUCKER Carlson is going to have the disrupted as a guest so that he can turn this into a divisive moment for his fans... just imagine how someone with no journalistic ethics or integrity can spin that story.

The fellow loses credibility when he believes its more important to investigate Hunter Biden than to investigate the family members who were actually working as government officials in the Trump administration as they made their lucrative personal business deals.

So? Arkansas has underpaid teachers for a very long time compared to other states in their region.  Their teacher shortage is compounded by that lack of investment and support.

All teachers claim they are underpaid.  Again your point is moot.  It's the blue city teachers that constantly go on strike and could care less about kids education and are beholden to teachers unions.  I don't even go there about teachers unions looking out for kids because the unions have already stated when kids pay dues they will care about kids.

"Prone star".  That's what happens when one is not careful with their words - bad puns.  This person probably isn't old enough to remember Clinton's dalliance.

I notice you have nothing to say about the context of my post. 

You attack my age. Perhaps your age causes you a loss of retaining and processing information? 

It was a great pun actually. Media stars often possess a great range of motion in their joints. Particularly their hip joints. Often they can manipulate the anatomical position greatly. Some are quite acrobatic as well. It really does take talent.

I think you watch Tucker more than the adverage conservative does. 

What's that word you use? Titilated? You seem to find it titillating to talk about Tucker and Trump getting arrested!

Oh that's easy. In my children's school. If a student is transgender or doesn't feel comfortable in the traditional sex assigned bathrooms, they use the staff bathrooms. 

This eliminates a biological girl from feeling uncomfortable from a transgender girl early in their transition who still possesses the masculine traits.

My other child in high school has a gender neutral washroom so everyone has a choice. The transgender youth are very acceptable and understanding. Being that they have felt uncomfortable for much of their lives, they do not wish to make others uncomfortable. 

There is simple solutions that do not have to include politics.

He also most likely believes that all the suicides are trans youth and all because of bathrooms. Like the bathroom is the primary mental health issue these youth have.

If only you said something in this remark that was related to any of the topics at hand.  It's almost like your objective is to muddle discussion, not participate in discussion.
