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.

QuoteAccording 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.
38 minutes ago, heron said:I believe Judge Dearie was appointed by Ronald Regan, not Trump. All the left-wing commentary I’ve seen has been that he is conservative, highly respected “no nonsense” judge who can be depended on to follow the law.
[...]
Most of the lawyers talking about the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago lawsuit have stated that Judge Dearie is a quiet spoken no-nonsense judge who runs tight courtroom; hearing started on dot of 2PM EST today. He has 7 yrs. experience on US Intelligence Surveillance Court, so has experience with classified material; he anticipates 3 week review of search materials --quicker than Trump camp expected. Will be interesting how this turn out.

Family passes down $100 wedding gown for 72 years
Eight brides have worn this wedding gown. Great story and pics how each succeeding woman chose this gown. Still have my 1975 gown with beautiful lace hem, hoping that a loved one will wear it someday.

Daughter's surprising their grandmothers by wearing their wedding dress handed down by their mothers is a thing on Tik Tok. A good thing that Gen Z brides seem to be embracing rather than gazillion dollar gowns.
We need help Puerto Rico because they are Americans (and not with paper towels toss to them), but they seriously need to answer for the incompetence of the last five years since we gave them so much money to fix their power grid. Schumer says only 2% of the money has been used and the grid is out yet again.

My wife is not sentimental about things. I regularly stop her from throwing out my treasures. Our daughter is not anywhere near the same size as my wife so she was not fixated on saving "the dress" instead, our son wore it one Halloween and our daughter dyed and remade it into a goth masterpiece while honing sewing skills.
My mother did not have a "wedding gown". They married in front of a judge at the court house. My parents stored the gown my mother made for me and it was chewed by mice. There is no way my daughter would have fit in it. I purchased her a nice cocktail dress that she sold on consignment.
This caught my attention...a unanimous resolution in the Senate.
QuoteLast month, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a joint intelligence bulletin detailing an increase in violent threats and acts of violence against federal law enforcement officials following the August 8 Mar-a-Lago search. In response, and at Durbin’s request, the agencies held a private briefing with Members of the Senate Judiciary and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committees last week.
Durbin continued, “I cannot share the specifics from this closed-door briefing, but I will say this: it should go without saying that the men and women of the FBI risk their lives every day on our behalf. But the increase in threats to their personal safety since the August 8 Mar-a-Lago search warrant [is] shocking. Beyond the direct threats and violence, there are also rising concerns about the public spread of personal information about FBI employees and families, a practice known as doxing… Let's condemn these baseless attacks on the men and women of the FBI and the despicable political game they represent.”
Durbin went on to ask for unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the consideration of S.Res.775, expressing the sense of the Senate that violence and threats of violence against the employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation are unacceptable and should be condemned. The resolution passed without objection.
Durbin concluded, “This resolution, which just passed without objection of any member of the Senate, will be a reminder to the men and women who serve in law enforcement, particularly the Federal Bureau of Investigation, that we stand behind them. That those who would exploit political events at the expense of the safety of these men and women are beyond the pale of constitutional conduct. We want to stand behind those who are standing for us, to protect us and our families.”
In addition to today’s resolution, under Chair Durbin, the Judiciary Committee has prioritized supporting our federal, state, and local law enforcement officers and their efforts to keep our communities safe. On July 26, 2022, the Committee held a hearing on law enforcement officer safety—specifically on the threat America’s gun violence epidemic poses to law enforcement. One week later, the Committee held an oversight hearing with FBI Director Wray—the Director’s third appearance before this Committee this Congress—on the greatest threats to both this nation and to the work of the FBI and its law enforcement partners.
I know that Puerto Rico has suffered another run in with a powerful storm, but they should expect them and have infrastructure to withstand the typical storm. Alaska isn't experienced with typhoons.

Doesn't matter, experience or not, a disaster is a disaster. Florida is familiar with hurricanes but it doesn't mean it's not a disaster when one comes through. That was a huge typhoon.
