  1. (Michael Moore) directed and produced Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) a critical look at the early presidency of George W. Bush and the war on terror, which earned $119,194,771 to become the highest-grossing documentary at the American box office of all time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Moore NB on a budget of $6 million -- revenues now $222.4 million NB2 Michal Jackson This Is It! is now the biggest
  2. Hate Crimes: Key Federal Statutes 18 U.S.C. § 241 prohibits conspiracies to interfere with civil rights. Examples of covered rights might include the right to vote, or to occupy a dwelling. The federal government has relied on § 241 to prosecute a variety of bias-motivated conspiracies involving conduct such as vandalism, assault, and murder. Conviction under § 241 requires the government to show an agreement between two or more persons. The government must also prove that the purpose of the agreement was to injure, threaten, oppress, or intimidate. A range of violent and destructive conduct may qualify, as can threatening conduct like cross burning (subject to First Amendment limitations). 18 U.S. Code § 248 - Freedom of access to clinic entrances (d)Rules of Construction.—Nothing in this section shall be construed (1) to prohibit any expressive conduct (including peaceful picketing or other peaceful demonstration) protected from legal prohibition by the First Amendment to the Constitution;
  3. Trump lawyers call BBC's Panorama defence 'untenable' 4 hours ago Court papers filed earlier this month by the BBC showed the broadcaster will argue that the Florida court lacks "personal jurisdiction" over it, that the court venue is "improper", and that Trump has "failed to state a claim". But in Trump's filing on Monday, his team maintained its argument that Floridians did have access to the BBC programme, Trump: A Second Chance?, which was broadcast in the UK just before the 2024 presidential election. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cg5gjev099yo NB While the original Trump complaint stated that there was an "immense likelihood" that the Panorama doc was viewed in Florida, the current response says that it was "in fact" viewed by citizens Florida but they do not say by whom or where. NB2 via Gemini: In federal civil procedure, a complaint is subject to dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) if it fails to state a claim that is "plausible on its face". This standard, established by the Supreme Court in Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly (2007) and Ashcroft v. Iqbal (2009), requires that the complaint provide enough factual matter to move a claim across the line from "conceivable" or "possible" to "plausible".
  4. Letter from Chief Judge Schiltz of the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA to Chief Appeals Court Judge Colloton In re. United States of America (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit) 23 JAN 2026 Pg. 3 (click to enlarge) https://clearinghouse.net/doc/167534/
  5. OK you are right on that if there is a conviction it is a state conviction. What I earlier read on the Good case via Gemini: Federal Defenses: If a federal officer demonstrates a "colorable federal defense" (e.g., Supremacy Clause immunity), the federal court may dismiss the state charges. Procedural Dismissal: Under Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 48, the government can move to dismiss an indictment, which the court may grant.
  6. NB per MN Star Tribune: · Homicide means the death came at the hands of another person and does not necessarily mean the person died from a criminal act.
  7. Washington Post via https://archive.ph/lJJKO#selection-607.0-607.114 The chief federal district judge in the state, Patrick J. Schiltz, a well regarded conservative who began his career as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, subsequently reviewed the matter and wrote of Lemon and his producer that “there is no evidence that those two engaged in any criminal behavior or conspired to do so.” Kyle Boynton, a former federal civil rights prosecutor, said there is no precedent for using these sections of the federal criminal code to accuse private individuals — as opposed to the government or a government official — of violating someone’s religious rights. “I think they are going to face a serious uphill battle getting this case past a motion to dismiss,” Boynton said.
  8. As noted page 1: A presidential pardon can be issued before charges are filed, during proceedings, or after conviction.
  9. And as I said page 1 this topic: As with the Good case, if the state charged the 2 officers in Pretti shooting with state criminal charges, the first thing the defense would do is motion to have the case moved to federal court and plead immunity. Civil charges esp. wrongful death at the state or federal level are not subject to Presidential pardon.
  10. Apologies for the photo as it was straight into the early morning sun this AM at MAKRO
  11. Per the indictment in the OP pg. 8: while gesturing in an aggressive and hostile manner, which congregants and the pastor perceived as threats of violence and a potential prelude to a mass shooting. Per AI Gemini:
  12. And as this is US ACA, claims are not denied for pre-existing conditions as is the case most mentioned on here. Per KFF on the reasons for ACA denials: Denials due to lack of prior authorization or referral xx Denials due to an out-of-network provider Denials due to an exclusion of a service Denials based on medical necessity (reported separately for behavioral health and other services) Denials due to enrollee benefit reached Denials due to a member not being covered Denials due to investigational, experimental, or cosmetic procedure Denials for administrative reasons (which include claims that were duplicate, missing information, untimely, for an unapproved provider, or that met other criteria) Denials for all other reasons not specified above. https://www.kff.org/private-insurance/claims-denials-and-appeals-in-aca-marketplace-plans-in-2023/
  13. Letter from Judge Schiltz to Chief Judge Colloton (Jan. 23, 2026) In re. United States of America (U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit) 23 JAN 2026 Pg. 3 https://clearinghouse.net/doc/167534/
  14. And there ae some on here, that if you say your claim was paid, will say Bernie Madoff paid off at first, too.
  15. Maybe they couldn't handle and just snapped in the Minnesota cold.
  16. No because if I paid for everything myself, I may not have money for the next claim.
  17. As with the Good case, if the state charged the 2 officers in Pretti shooting with state criminal charges, the first thing the defense would do is motion to have the case moved to federal court and plead immunity.
  18. So if you say you saved 3 million baht over 13 years in Thailand that works out to about 230,00 baht average per year saved in health insurance premiums. When I was still with BUPA pre-Aetna age 60 I was paying about 75,000 baht per year.
  19. A presidential pardon can be issued before charges are filed, during proceedings, or after conviction.
  20. I deal with the 65,000 baht per month FTT retirement extension of stay. at 30 baht per USD that = about $2170 per month. at 25 baht per USD that = $2600 per month. so extra $400+ per month. I wouldn't like it but I wouldn't call it 'disaster'.
  21. 18 U.S. Code § 248 - Freedom of access to clinic entrances (18 USC 248 a(2) places of worship) (d) Rules of Construction.—Nothing in this section shall be construed— (1 ) to prohibit any expressive conduct (including peaceful picketing or other peaceful demonstration) protected from legal prohibition by the First Amendment to the Constitution; NB as to what problems there may be with this or any defense is based upon what evidence is allowed by the judge and what the jury decides if it ever gets that far.
  22. One of those in the 'Don Lemon' indictment is NEKIMA VALDEZ LEVY-ARMSTRONG Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nekima_Levy_Armstrong "Levy Armstrong was a professor of law at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis from 2003 to 2016." NB Hard to believe she did not know what she was getting herself into whether Pastor Easterwood was also an ICE guy or not.
