Also:

4 African billionaires have more money than 8ish billion people on earth.

Bill Barr's father also wrote some sci-fi.

Becky Ferreira has described the novel as "highly unsettling", due to its depiction of rape of enslaved people, particularly teenage girls, and other coercive sex acts. The sex acts described are performed "for the dual purposes of entertainment and controlled procreation".[5] Ferreira found disgusting the novel's fixation on the sexualization of adolescents. She notes that the adult characters are subjected to infantilization.

Because he knew he could continue his lifestyle afterwards.

This is not a political party, it is something else.

A component of a political platform is often called a plank – the opinions and viewpoints about an individual topic, as held by a party, person, or organization. The word "plank" depicts a component of an overall political platform, as a metaphorical reference to a basic stage made of boards or planks of wood

Platforms are built with planks, Elon has no platform.

UFSea?

That asked about their phone SPYING on them. So I'm taking this at face value and assuming more than just targeted advertising.

Block all the IPs you want, you can't block a Stingray

Then you could also have mesh network built into devices inside your WiFi connecting to similar devices.

And my favorite for right now, and the thing I finished my last response with, your phone.

Your phone is most likely unique, between the device id, your carrier, location, other apps, contacts, operating system, etc. I personally assume most large websites could find you in minutes.

Both your TV and phone hooked to the same WiFi?

Shazamm like program for detection of TV audio.

If the phone is not moving (known by phone) the TV and your voice could be differentiable.

You're voice is within a certain range of Hz

Most important: it doesn't need to. Just the stuff you do on your phone is probably more than enough data

But wait, there's more: May I present, America's only successful coup d‘état.

He's a Democrat, but this is not a simple situation.

Judge rules someone ineligible, mayor disagree

Sheriff's show up to candidates house, possible intimidation

Haven't read much else yet

Just snuck that right in there

One aerial imaging technology company common among insurers says it has eyes on 99.6% of the country’s population.

Maybe check your link, looks like phishing.

I see a reference to Airheads, I upvote! Thanks for reminding me of this gem.

That's one of the dumbest things, it's easier to build an Air Force One from scratch than to retrofit. At a dead minimum your paying extra to take it apart.

Think of it like The Beast https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_state_car_(United_States)

That's not an updated Cadillac, it's a tank with a Cadillac wrap.

Well I don't doubt tariffs and inflation are having an effect here. Let's not forget Target abandoned their DEI goals and programs.

Costco did not, they doubled down. There quarterly earnings will be reported on the 29th of May.

No suppressor, no super long mags, no belt feed, no barrel mounted grenade launcher, no incendiary rounds.

What is and what is not legal is funny in the US

The history on this is interesting

Trump banned bump stocks as a reaction to the Vegas massacre.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-administration-issues-rule-banning-bump-stocks-year/story?id=59884493

Then the supreme court ruled that unconstitutional.

Now the trump admin is going to permit more things like the bump stock to be sold legally. Specifically, something that makes a semi automatic gun fire much more rapidly.

The United States will have to pay more interest to borrow money.

Think of it like credit scores, the US is making sketchy monetary decisions, so the score went down.

“Further investigation has revealed that Ms Backeberg’s disappearance was by her own choice and not the result of any criminal activity or foul play,” the sheriff’s office said.

Around the time of her disappearance, Backeberg had filed a criminal complaint against her husband, alleging that he beat her and threatened to kill her, the BBC reports, citing the Wisconsin Missing Persons Advocacy non-profit group.

Not to disrespect (I'm assuming) your fledgling news site. Is flyemu.com a trusted news source here? Also this is a repost.
