So he's going to form a militia to recapture escaped slaves?
Yes. Your terminology is wobbly but yes. You are Klan, notklan that knows their place and behaves, or a death target. Take your pick. His verbiage clearly indicates that the President is assigned the latter category. This is how these people live. And they will kill you.

In October 2020, Fox, 44, described Drag Race UK‘s Crystal, former Stonewall trustee Simon Blake and Coronation Street actor Nicola Thorp as “paedophiles” after they criticised him for accusing the supermarket Sainsbury of “discrimination” for honouring Black History Month.
This wasn't a hearing of the case itself. This was an application by Fox for a jury trial, rather than by a judge sitting alone, on the grounds the single judge might be guilty of involuntary bias.

“I think it would be fair for me to say that this was an ambitious application,’ Mr Justice Nicklin said.
The application was dismissed and Fox now has to pay the other side's costs for opposing the action. The trial itself will be later in the year.

Nadine Dorries' communications team must really hate her to allow her, time and again, to humiliate herself by releasing videos like this


She's our Minister for Culture, Media and Sport.

When our government is working against the people.

The chairman of the US Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, said his goal is “to get wages down.”

In a press conference on May 4, Powell announced that the Fed would be raising interest rates by half a percentage and implementing policies aimed at reducing inflation in the United States, which is at its highest level in 40 years.
According to a transcript of the presser published by the Wall Street Journal, Powell blamed this inflation crisis, which is global, not on the proxy war in Ukraine and Western sanctions on Russia, but rather on US workers supposedly making too much money.

“Employers are having difficulties filling job openings, and wages are rising at the fastest pace in many years,” Powell complained.

The Fed’s proposed solution: bring down wages.
Here's a better idea: CREATE MORE JOBS.

It took a foreign journalist, Mark Stone of Sky News, to ask a question the world is thinking. Cornering the US senator Ted Cruz after the Texas shooting, he said: “Why does this only happen in your country? Why is this American exceptionalism so awful?” Cruz balked, feigned affront at British impertinence, then scuttled away.

The whole exchange. A country that prides itself on breaking away from an empire.

Aren't those the departments they normally foist some politically inconvenient nebbish upon because they're owed a favor or are too well connected to ignore? I can't imagine they can do any real damage there, it's almost like the childrens' table at a family gathering.

The grieving family should never have to deal with billing errors, but it was a billing error, not a policy decision. As numerous people pointed out on the Twitter thread, the hospital should have immediately switched over to billing the donor network for all charges related to keeping the body on life support.

Somewhere in that chain of automated accounting mistakes, a real person should have stepped in to the process. But nope, didn't happen.

This is how the thread ends:


Possibly UCLA wrote it off because they'd submitted the claims in error, and should have billed someone else, but that's not what she says happened. I know what someone in one of the replies says should have happened, and probably they're correct, but it didn't in this case, nor in a couple of other cases, at least according to other replies.

Accounting error or not, to those of us who are, by a happy accident of birth, used to public health care as of right, it seems grotesque that anyone other than another hospital should receive the bill, or that anyone other than the taxpayer would cover it.

I will never understand why this doesn't scare people to death with everything going automated. The less humans are involved in the process the more room for errors leading to death. Sorry but I just can't welcome the new Skynet overlord.

That actually does make a lot of sense. In many smaller cities, a significant portion of the budget comes from fines. It makes people think of every interaction with the police in terms of what it is going to cost them, especially as fees compound when they can't pay, leading to bench warrants. And it doesn't help that those same cities often disproportionately pull over people of color.
