Abortion pill "reversals" are "unscientific." Anti-choice groups are hawking them anyway Some crisis pregnancy centers run by anti-choice groups are pushing a procedure called an "abortion pill reversal" Last weekend, outrage ensued in the wake of a disturbing profile in the Washington Post of anti-choice advocate Jana Pinson, who is building a massive $10 million crisis pregnancy center in south Texas. In one of the more shocking moments in the profile, Pinson explains how pregnant girls who are barely post-pubescent should embrace motherhood. "I've seen a lot of 13-year-olds do phenomenal" as mothers, Pinson said. "It doesn't have to be a negative thing." The comments went viral on social media, obviously due to the horror of them, as Salon's Amanda Marcotte recently opined. In the profile, Pinson — whose crisis pregnancy center is far from a pipe dream in part thanks to an already purchased plot of land, blueprints, and a vision for a "coffee shop and a thrift store visible from the road" — also explained how she plans to expand their offerings for "abortion reversals."

Anne Heche under influence of cocaine at time of crash, according to LAPD New information given by the LAPD points towards narcotics as being a primary factor in Heche's near fatal crash New information has been released by the Los Angeles Police Department providing further background on the factors involved in Anne Heche's near fatal car crash last week. While it was widely speculated that Heche had been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash, tests of her blood performed at the hospital show signs of cocaine and fentanyl, according to TMZ. Heche is still considered to be in critical condition following her crash last Friday, and a spokesperson says she is suffering from a "significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention."

We should start a pool wagering on how long Trevor Harris will last before he is pulled and replaced by the flavour of the week. I'm betting half-time.

Using this opportunity to bad-mouth Chaeban ice cream parlour on Osborne South. Unique flavours from Lebanon but not to my taste. Cold Stone Creamery on Corydon is pretty good, though.

There is no need to survey who holds those opinions- it is most of Albertama and half of Saskatchewan.

Trump Responds To Merrick Garland By Blaming Obama Obama Transferred His Documents Through The National Archives The big problem with Trump’s claim is that Barack Obama didn’t steal the documents from the National Archives.

Merrick Garland Says He ‘Personally Approved’ Seeking Mar-A-Lago Search Warrant Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday that he had “personally approved” the decision for the FBI to seek a search warrant to raid former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home on Monday. The Department of Justice has moved to make the warrant public, he said, citing the clear public interest in the investigation. Law enforcement authorities had been searching for any potentially sensitive classified government documents that had been improperly kept at Mar-a-Lago, according to reports that the Department of Justice appeared to confirm Thursday in a court filing. The spectacle of executing a search warrant at the home of a former president led to speculation that the contents of the possible materials were highly sensitive. Garland declined to give any detail about what the FBI may have found at the Florida resort. “Federal law, longstanding department rules and our ethical obligations prevent me from providing further details as to the basis of the search at this time,” Garland said. “There are, however, certain points that I want you to know, “First, I personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. Second, the department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken.” A Trump-appointed federal judge reviewed the evidence at hand and approved the search warrant, as is the usual procedure.

FBI Director details the 'deplorable' threats he’s received since Mar-a-Lago search The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) recently shared details about the disturbing threats he's received since agents searched former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property in Florida. On Wednesday, August 10, Christopher Wray called the threats leveled toward the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice “deplorable and dangerous.” "I’m always concerned about threats to law enforcement,” Wray said during a news conference at the FBI's Omaha, Neb., office. “Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you’re upset with.” Many of the threats have been made via social media platforms that typically cater to far-right extremists and Trump supporters. Per HuffPost, "reactions included the ubiquitous 'Lock and load' and calls for federal agents and even U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to be assassinated." On the social media platform Gab, one social media user who only goes by the name Stephen said that he was "awaiting 'the call' to mount an armed revolution. “All it takes is one call. And millions will arm up and take back this country. It will be over in less than 2 weeks,” the post said. Another posting on the same platform also said, “Let's get this started! This unelected, illegitimate regime crossed the line with their GESTAPO raid! It is long past time the lib socialist filth were cleansed from American society!” https://www.alternet.org/2022/08/fbi-director-sheds-light-on-the-deplorable-threats-he-s-received-since-the-mar-a-lago-search/ AND: Gunfire With Police: Reports “Law enforcement has traded shots with a male suspect who is wearing a gray shirt and body armor,” an alert said. Police have exchanged gunfire with an armed man after he made threats at an FBI building in Cincinnati, according to reports. The incident began Thursday morning after a man armed with a gun showed up to the building and began making threats, the FBI said in a statement. “At approximately 9 AM this morning an armed subject attempted to breach the Visitor Screening Facility at #FBI Cincinnati,” the FBI’s Cincinnati bureau said on Twitter. “After an alarm and a response by FBI special agents, the subject fled north onto Interstate 71.”

I think fake outrage (actually Trump probably believes he is a victim) is the only item in his tool kit. Rage and lies have served him handsomely for most of his 77 years, so that is his "go-to". He has surrounded himself with enough lickspittles that literally anything he does will be applauded. When all you have is a hammer, you tend to see all problems as nails. We (and America) have not seen the most extreme of Trump yet.

Getting a break away from Fajardo's whining will do that.

At the risk of dooming the Blue, I think the biggest concern that O'Shea & Co need to be concerned about is whether or not to run up the score or which backup to put in once the game is decided.

Should the game plan be for Fajardo to start running, even if its a few dashes at first to loosen up coverage on his receivers, he is gonna get dinged again and we all know how well he does when he gets hit.

Trump Launches Conspiracy Theory That FBI Was 'Planting' Evidence At Mar-a-Lago and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has joined the right-wing influencers backing him up. Former president Donald Trump and his allies are preemptively warning that any incriminating evidence found at his Florida estate was planted there by the FBI. Trump complained on his ersatz social media platform Wednesday that his lawyers were not allowed to observe the federal agents who searched the property on Monday. “Everyone was asked to leave the premises, they wanted to be left alone, without any witnesses to see what they were doing, taking or, hopefully not, ‘planting,’” Trump wrote. “Why did they STRONGLY insist on having nobody watching them, everybody out?” The FBI searched Trump’s home in Palm Beach, Florida, reportedly as part of an investigation into Trump’s well-documented refusal to turn over presidential records at the end of his term. The Justice Department has not divulged any details about the investigation. The National Archives and Records Administration has said Trump belatedly delivered 15 boxes of documents this year. Because the boxes contained classified material that the president had removed from the White House, the agency said it notified the Department of Justice. Instead of waiting for any information about the investigation, Republicans in Congress have rushed to Trump’s defense, saying they will retaliate against the Justice Department and suggesting that it’s fundamentally improper to investigate whether the former president broke the law. Now Trump’s allies are also saying that if a crime was committed, Trump didn’t do it. Right-wing influencers such as Newt Gingrich, Charlie Kirk, Alex Jones and Steve Bannon on Tuesday came up with the theory that the FBI raided Trump’s property to plant evidence. Fox News host Jesse Waters amplified the baseless claim on his show that evening. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-fbi-conspiracy-theory-planted-evidence_n_62f3fe83e4b001e175d9f874

Much as I am a Bomber booster, the Lions-Stampeders game ought to have the most drama. Two well-matched teams with good offences and quarterbacks who are really playing for second place homefield advantage in the playoffs.

He is definitely a passing (short-lived) talent.

Bailey is a good player but few on this team are so well ensconced that they do not need to be challenged.

Law enforcement had serious concerns': Reporter reveals FBI gained access to Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage 'Law enforcement had serious concerns': Reporter reveals FBI gained access to Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage Former President Donald Trump speaking at the "Rally to Protect Our Elections," hosted by Turning Point Action at the Arizona Federal Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona, Gage Skidmore Meaghan Ellis August 10, 2022 A new report is shedding more light on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) findings during the search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. According to CNN, new details have emerged about the FBI gaining access to Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage. During Wednesday's segment of CNN's "At This Hour" with host Kate Bolduan, Katelyn Polantz offered a brief update on what transpired at the former president's estate on Tuesday, August 9. "There were new details about FBI's Florida home," Bolduan said. "CNN has learned from investigators that the former president or his team did not return the government documents that were taken when they left the White House." Polantz chimed in with further details about what was retrieved during the search. "It's been two days since the search and we are learning more about what prompted it in Mar-a-Lago on Monday," Polantz explained. "So, law enforcement had serious concerns about what was happening there on the Trump side," she noted. "Back in January, the national archives went to Florida to reclaim 15 boxes of records from the Trump presidency that were not Trump's to keep. So, we knew that." Polantz added, "And then that incident launched this criminal investigation into the handling of classified records. Then this week, of course, the DOJ goes back in with a search warrant for more boxes and documents and those records, if they had gotten out, could have national security implications and that's according to our sources now." The CNN correspondent went on to share details about the surveillance videos the FBI gained access to at the former president's estate. "So we also know in this investigation that federal authorities subpoenaed and received access to Mar-a-Lago's surveillance videos so that they were able to understand the security around these documents in recent weeks," she said.
