FL Court: Cities must cooperate with ICE or elected officials will be removed from office
We finally have people standing up to the Sanctuary City mob.
There was a new Florida state law that put a ban on sanctuary cities. It also ordered law enforcement officers to continue full cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Miami U.S. District Court Judge Beth Bloom upheld a majority of the components of that law on Monday, just one day before SB 168 went into effect.
On top of banning sanctuary cities in Florida, it also creates a new mandate. It requires police departments to hold inmates for an additional 48 hours to give ICE enough time to take custody of them.
The article doesn’t indicate just how government officials can be removed.
The majority of the article seems to center on problems between ICE and officials of Fairfax, County, VA.
Two Giuliani Associates Who Helped Him on Ukraine Charged With Campaign-Finance Violations
Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, two Florida businessmen, have been under investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan, and are expected to appear in federal court in Virginia later on Thursday, the people said. Both men were born in former Soviet republics.
Attorney General William Barr discussed the case on Thursday with federal prosecutors in Manhattan, where he was making a preplanned visit. A Justice Department official said Mr. Barr was supportive of their work on the case, on which he was first briefed shortly after being confirmed as attorney general in February. He was aware the pair would be charged and taken into custody last night, the official said.
Dozens of articles on it all over the web.
Ukraine Gave More Money To Clinton Foundation That Any Nation On Earth @ https://magadailyreport.com/2019/10/ukraine-gave-more-money-to-clinton-foundation-that-any-nation-on-earth/?fbclid=IwAR3wnmFHhgICCXwCFFBlxoOypXLRc4N1YtDLxUTi6AqLzaMasyOR6m_XNAU
How is it okay for foreign governments to give money to the Clintons but not a group supporting President Trump?
President Trump: U.S. ‘should have never been in the Middle East’
Other than for helping Israel defend itself, he’s absolutely right.
Fighting between various groups that has been going on for hundreds of years. USA should never have been in Middle East. Moved our 50 soldiers out. Turkey MUST take over captured ISIS fighters that Europe refused to have returned. The stupid endless wars, for us, are ending! https://t.co/Fbcem9i55Z
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2019
U.S. involvement in the Middle East has cost the country $8 trillion so far, along with many thousands of lives. President Trump said this was the worst decision ever made in the history of America. A Sunday press release confirmed that the U.S. was officially withdrawing from the region, stating “The United States Armed Forces will not support or be involved in the operation.”
“I held off this fight for almost three years, but it is time to get out of these ridiculous endless wars…and bring our soldiers home,” the president emphasized.
All sides have had 3 years to ponder how the president was elected partially on the promise to get us out of continual wars. So, that he’s acruallt keeping that promise cannot surprise anyone.
Biles by miles:
U.S. gymnast claims record fifth all-around world title.
In 1976, I watched Nadia Comaneci get a perfect 10 on the uneven bars at the Montreal Olympics. I remember thinking that something was going to be required to review the scoring system. And it always has galled me that a bunch of judged are able to decide the outcome based on their own biases and political leanings.
(Reuters) – American Simone Biles became the first woman to win five all-around titles at the gymnastics world championships in Stuttgart on Thursday, building on her legacy as one of the greatest of all time.
It was Biles’ 16th gold medal at the worlds and added to her all-around world titles from 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2018.
Needing 12.301 in the floor exercise to reclaim her title in the final rotation, Biles scored 14.400 points to finish with an overall score of 58.999 — beating China’s Tang Xijing by a huge margin of 2.100.
Russia’s Angelina Melnikova took bronze with 56.399.
I‘ve never seen her perform in real time but her videos are astonishing. While other athletes have that look of dedicated determination on their faces, Biles just goes out there with the attitude of having fun – as if the results don’t count.
How can anyone beat that?
Kids Aren’t Suffering From ‘Video Game Addiction.’ They’re Suffering From A Lack Of Parenting.
Parents in Canada have filed a class action lawsuit against Epic Games, the company that made the popular video game Fortnite. The distraught plaintiffs accuse the devious minds behind Fortnite of intentionally creating it to be “as addictive as possible.” This addiction has destroyed their children’s lives, they say.
Another generation taught not to take responsibility for their own actions?
10-year-old children aren’t going out and buying their own games. They aren’t buying their own TVs, phones, and computers, either. If a child is playing games for several hours a day, it is because his parents have chosen to invest a considerable amount of money into fueling the hobby. So, why is your kid playing video games so much? Let us solve the mystery: it is because you are allowing and funding it.
It’s nice to read a common sense approach to a supposed epidemic.

Humans can regenerate cartilage
Lord above, I hope so. The cartilage in my left knee is almost completely gone and the same in my right isn’t far behind. It’s got me stuck to walkers, a wheelchair, and an electric scooter.
If you get a cut, it’ll heal. If you lose some skin to road rash, it’ll grow back. But lose a limb, and it’s gone for good. Unless you’re a salamander, a zebrafish or an axolotl, of course — all of which can regrow missing limbs. Now, scientists find that some of the molecules crucial to that process are at work inside of us.
Confirming that similar processes are working in different species means the scientific community can identify which microRNAs humans lack or have in short supply. Boosting their production in joints could, for example, slow cartilage degradation and maybe stop osteoarthritis. The condition, where joint cartilage degrades and makes moving painful, is one of the most common causes of disability in the world. Currently, the only option for treatment is to replace the joint entirely. If the tissue could be prompted to regenerate itself, then patients could avoid the pain and intense surgeries.
It may be a decade away – far too long for me – but there’s a possibility that researchers might assemble the right combinations of microRNA to heal arthritis.
Dems Want to Know: Who Paid Rudy?
The president’s personal lawyer has been digging up dirt for him in Ukraine. Now Congress wants to know: who picked up the tab?
A member of the House Intelligence Committee is calling on Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to disclose information on who financed his attempts to dig up dirt on Joe Biden amid a wave of reports that the work has dovetailed into official government business.
Reports indicate Rudy represents the president pro bono, meaning he receives no money for travel or the meetings he holds. He claims his expenses are paid by clients of his law firm.
In an interview with The Daily Beast this week, Giuliani steadfastly denied that he was paid for any work he did in Ukraine, saying that he helped Trump on a “pro bono” basis. He said that the costs of his travel were covered by private clients for separate work that happened to correspond with his Ukraine portfolio. Speaking specifically about an August trip he made to Madrid to urge Andriy Yermak, a top Ukrainian official, to reinvestigate the Bidens, Giuliani said that he happened to be going to the Spanish capital already for “business and vacation.”
And he’s digging up dirt the Dims have done their best to keep buried.
The best wireless mouse
Logitech sweeps the field.
Exactly what I have, along with a Logitech wireless keyboard.
After researching 42 wireless mice and testing 14, we found that the Logitech M720 Triathlon Multi-Device Wireless Mouse is the best wireless mouse for most people because it is more comfortable to use than nearly every other mouse we tested, connects easily via a USB dongle or Bluetooth, and tracks well on most surfaces.
The article then gives a very good series of things to look for when looking for a mouse.
Comfort
Connection
Battery life
Buttons
Useful software
Sensor
I’m very pleased with my simple – and inexpensive - Model M215. It meets my needs and I can’t begin to remember how often I’ve had to change the batteries. And, if I remember correctly, it came with the K330 Logitech wireless keyboard I bought at OfficeMax.

Inside Cirque du Soleil’s technology lab
I’ve never been to one of their shows but have seen lots and lots of promos for the various shows they put on here in Vegas. They appear to be astonishing.
This 7 minute video gives one a look inside their operation and is worthwhile watching.
Cirque du Soleil is iconic: both a smooth corporate machine and pop culture staple. The company's approach has been to launch its latest innovation lab called Nextasy. At the global headquarters in Montreal, the lab is playing with motion sensing to make a soundtrack respond to dancers' actions, AI to spark new makeup ideas and augmented reality to overlay animations onto live performance. In our feature video, we visit Cirque du Soleil to see how it's trying to create spectacle more than 200 years after the first circus, and how it harnesses technology for its own whimsical purposes.
If you see one of these, kill it. Immediately!

DNC colluded with Ukraine to help Hillary win
Golly gee! I thought the media was positive it was the other way around. Didn’t we just spend $46 million to see if Trump did it?
The connection between the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Ukrainian government was veteran Democratic operative Alexandra Chalupa, “who had worked in the White House Office of Public Liaison during the Clinton administration” and then “went on to work as a staffer, then as a consultant, for Democratic National Committee,” Politico reported.
Chalupa was working directly with the Ukrainian embassy in the United States to raise concerns about Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and, according to Politico, she indicated that the Embassy was working “directly with reporters researching Trump, Manafort and Russia to point them in the right directions.” More
This is not the only piece claiming this.
Trump To Exit ‘Open Skies’ Treaty
Another “America first” decision.
The ‘Open Skies’ treaty which the US signed in 1992 and went into effect in 2002 is the agreement which allows Russian surveillance planes to occasionally fly over the heart of North America, in an unusual arrangement which has US residents understandably freaking out when they might look up and see a large Russian Tu-214ON aircraft overhead.
The post Cold War treaty allows its 34 member states to conduct short-notice, unarmed observation flights to monitor other countries’ military operations in mutual verification of arms-control agreements.
However, following the Trump administration’s pullout of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), it seems the White House increasingly views the ‘Open Skies’ agreement as also obsolete. CNN reported late Tuesday the administration is expected to soon exit the treaty. “The Trump administration is expected to soon announce that it plans to exit the Open Skies treaty, a US official tells CNN, a move that has already drawn condemnation from Democrats in Congress,” according to the report.
Makes no sense to stay with the accord as satellites provide coverage equal or better than what can be picked up by aircraft.
Seattle solves homeless crisis – with one-way bus tickets
Only Libtards could come up with solutions like that.
(Maybe not. Seems to me more of a right-wing solution than the other way around.)
The program would provide a bus ticket and meal vouchers to any homeless person who could prove they were going to live with a family member. They would not be allowed to move to a county adjacent to King County.
Get ;em far enough away that they’re not likely to come back.
LA gas prices go above $5 while resident learn solar panels don’t work in blackouts
Saudi Arabia, local refineries gearing up for winter blends, weird eco-laws and regulations all leading to a 1 day spike to over $5 per gallon in various locations.
But wait, there’s more: America’s most “environmentally conscious” state got a harsh lesson in electrical engineering when many of the tens of thousands of people hit by this week’s blackout learned the hard way that solar installations don’t keep the lights on during a power outage.
That, as Bloomberg reports, is “because most panels are designed to supply power to the grid, not directly to houses. During the heat of the day, solar systems generate more juice than a home can handle. However, they don’t produce power at all at night. So systems are tied into the grid, and the vast majority aren’t working this week as PG&E cut power to much of Northern California to prevent wildfires.”
A whole lot of people suckered over the solar power scan.

October 10, 2019
Things are starting to look a lot better. One of my aides did a little research and it turns out that the order of succession for the presidency says the Speaker of the House takes over if the Vice President is removed. Time to start a separate inquiry methinks. President Pelosi. Madam President. I like the sound of that.

Navy patents compact nuclear fusion reactor
If this is true, it could change the entire field of energy generation for the entire world!
This has been the goal of scientists since the Manhattan Project that created the first nuclear power plant.
If scientists were able to harness fusion energy, all it would do is completely change the course of humanity. One kilogram of fusion fuel produces the same amount of energy as 10 million kilograms of fossil fuels, according to the Science Museum in London. It’s the perfect energy source; it doesn’t emit greenhouse gases or leave behind harmful byproducts such as nuclear waste—unlike nuclear fission. In fact, its sole byproduct is helium: an inert, extremely useful gas.
Think of it, 1 kilogram of fusion fuel producing the same energy as 10 million kilograms of fossil fuels. With a byproduct of helium.
The success of the device, developed by researcher Salvatore Cezar Pais of the Naval Air Warfare Center - Aircraft Division, relies on a part called a dynamic fusor. According to the patent, Pais’ plasma chamber contains several pairs of these dynamic fusors, which rapidly spin and vibrate within the chamber in order to create a “concentrated magnetic energy flux” that can squish the gases together.
One can only keep ones fingers crossed with the hope that this actually works.

Israeli police arrest Palestinian officials in Jerusalem
This is definitely going to cause demonstrations/riots and missile attacks from PLO territory.
Israeli police have arrested the Palestinian governor of Jerusalem and a local official of the mainstream Fatah party in dawn raids on Monday in the disputed city, AFP reports, citing the men's lawyer.
Police arrested governor Adnan Ghaith and the Fatah general secretary for Jerusalem, Shadi Mutour, in raids on their homes in east Jerusalem, lawyer Mohammed Mahmud said. The officials were accused of engaging in activity on behalf of the Palestinian Authority in the city.
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said that “two representatives were arrested by police and are being questioned,” but did not confirm their names.
PA activities in Jerusalem are barred by Israel, which occupied east Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day War and later annexed it in a move never recognized by the international community.
