You sure nothing changed with your insurance? Is it a yearly deductible, etc.?

Supper is what my parents called the evening meal. I always call it dinner myself. I think of "supper" as more of a special ocassion. "Come to our church supper."
I can accept supper or dinner for an evening meal. However, calling a noon meal "dinner" always seemed very weird to me. "Hey, baws, I am clocking out for dinner."

Here is one of the Dutch chicks who lived at the complex. She seemed frightened enough that she began wearing burqas. Incredible.

NCAA literally can't do any of that. The House vs. NCAA case pretty much took all authority away from the NCAA to enforce anything to do with NIL. The NCAA can still make rules for the sports (a hold is a 10 yard penalty), they can enforce gambling rules, they can enforce some other stuff, but they have NO POWER at all over NIL.

re: Oglala Sioux Tribe says three tribal members arrested in Minneapolis are in ICE detention
Posted by AUstar on 1/16/26 at 9:04 pm to LSUTANGERINE
Why are any Sioux living in homeless shelters?
Don't care. None of them have an education in any relevant field to have an opinion on anything. If they have degrees at all, it is usually from a film school, etc.
Some of them just go with the flow to avoid controversy. It's peer pressure.

Technically religious groups cannot spend tax money for religious purposes. They can only spend it for charity and the charity must serve ALL citizens (you cannot say this charity is only for Muslims).
From what I understand the Muslim center that got $11 million runs a shelter for women who get beat up (oh the irony). If they truly do leave the shelter open for everyone, they are in the clear.
Also, you cannot "preach" with government money. You cannot use the shelter as a way to try and convert people. It must remain secular.
I don't like it, but that's the way it works for Christian charities and all the rest.
Personally I hate all of these 501 c3's. it should not be the government's job to be a charity service. If people want to run charities with private money, have at it.

re: Congress passes legislation to end gov't checks to dead people.
Posted by AUstar on 1/16/26 at 5:34 pm to Mushroom1968
I did some digging and the reason SSA could not share their death file is because of the 1974 Privacy Act which was passed after Watergate. People were scared of the government having agencies easily coordinate to create a master "dossier" on every citizen. Supposedly Nixon was calling up the IRS or SSA and other agencies and compiling dossiers with the info.
So they made it where data on Americans had to be in a silo within each agency. That agency could only collect data they needed for their purpose and could not share it.
It's pretty outdated now that everything is computerized and the fact we've had the Patriot Act and other shite since then.

No, from my understanding all they did was go to the government website and look for state funded transportation services and then went to those addresses and found no such business. What they do is bill for "rides" they never provided people. It's called non-emergency medical transport (like taking elderly or disabled to their doctor).
So they bill medicare/Medicaid for shite they don't do.

re: Trump Administration Creativity: Bypassing Congress & VZL Oil Money in Qatar Bank Account

It's my understanding they put it in Qatari accounts so Western creditors couldn't put a lean on it. Venezuela owes about $170 billion in money they have already been instructed to pay by international courts.
And if it was in the U.S. Treasury, Congress would make it disappear with a quickness.

re: Israel to award Charlie Kirk for fighting antisemitism
Posted by AUstar on 1/15/26 at 5:31 pm to conservativewifeymom
I am pretty sure Israel is just trolling (or co-opting Kirk's movement for their own ends). Kirk certainly wasn't anti-semitic but he wasn't some crusader for Jewish causes either.

Basically the prosecutors are to blame. However, the female judge did not have to accept the deal, but did anyway. She protested from the bench that she didn't like it, but ultimately caved because her prosecutors said they would likely lose a jury trial.

According to reporting from the Las Vegas Review-Journal and other outlets:
Problems with the evidence
Prosecutors told the judge that weaknesses in the evidence — especially inconsistent witness statements and a lack of direct eyewitness testimony — raised the risk that a jury might not convict him at trial on the more serious charges.
Plea deal negotiation
Because of those evidentiary concerns, prosecutors agreed to accept the voluntary manslaughter plea rather than risking an acquittal. Under Nevada law voluntary manslaughter is a less serious offense than first-degree murder and carries a sentencing range that can include probation.
Judge followed the agreement
The judge said she disagreed with the plea deal and with the probation outcome, but because the prosecution and defense agreed to it, she felt obligated to impose the negotiated sentence.

These groups are funded by 501 c3's. And the donors hide their names behind things like the Goldman Sachs charity fund (the law does not require GS to provide names).
I am not sure what legal mechanism they can use. Unfortunately, the whole 501 system is a big scam.
