One, “Operation Praying Mantis” II coming up. Did you want Freedom Fries with that?

Someone in a bed was shot, based on the blood stain, yes. “Point blank” and “barrel on his temple” are not supported by the article. I was simply asking for facts rather than speculation.

The military did not provide details on how the three were killed. Its statement said Jalamneh was armed with a pistol, but made no mention of an exchange of fire.

Some guy named Jalamneh, according to the article.

I’ve seen this article in several places. This particular article states that at least one of the guys was armed with a pistol, while neglecting to detail the others. Nowhere did I read that there “were three unarmed men”. Do you have a source, please?

Their density makes them ring like a bell, if suspended by a wire through the center. Good wind chimes.

IANAL, but some states specifically state you can refuse entry unless they present the warrant. Other states advise you to let them do whatever or risk facing charges (obstruction, etc).

In any event, get their names and badge numbers so you can sue. ALSO, the warrant should state what it is they’re looking for, which should in theory limit their search. For instance, if the warrant is to search your home looking for a stolen motorcycle (or whatever) they cannot look in your kitchen cabinets, bedside table, etc, because no motorcycle could possibly fit in those spaces. “Hey we found a pound of cocaine in a shoe box while looking for a motorcycle” would be thrown out of court. Doesn’t keep them from getting a new warrant and coming back, though.

Sen. Dusty Deevers just can’t stop thinking about breasts, and yummy penises, and… won’t someone help him? Won’t the legislature pass a law keeping his hands in the open and off his crotch? Anyone, pass a law!

The article would have been better if they’d explored how making a 10 cent coin was profitable to counterfeiters, especially when the craftsmanship would seem to indicate they had the skills to do so much more.

OR, Ukraine could go all Kelly’s Heroes on them. “You know what’s behind you? All of RUSSIA. And all you have to do to get an equal share is turn that tank around…”

Hanlon’s razor: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

the carmaker keeps its costs low partly by owning the entire supply chain of its EV batteries, significant since a battery accounts for roughly 40% of an electric vehicle’s price.

And this impossible for other carmakers because… ?

And here poor Gregor came to the party with a window. Windows are so last month! Silly Gregor!

Have these guys made any demands? I’d love to know what they think they’re going to accomplish. Or are they just being pirates for the fun of it?

This headline makes it seem as though Trump requested permission to give $400K to the NYT. Suck headline.

“The unauthorized practice of medicine is a criminal offense in all states. Criminal offenses range from misdemeanors to felonies. Civil penalties range from education to the revocation of a medical license”.

How does this not apply to legislatures who are, in effect, attempting to direct actual doctors?

Wait a minute, can this be considered a confession? “Yes, I did it, BUT…” ?

I really don’t want the Russians to win in Ukraine, but if they were to outfit all their troops with windows instead of bullets… just sayin’.

All snuggled under the covers with just his orange forehead peeking out over his eyes so he could see the pictures, as he drifted off to sleep each night. Yeah, I could see that.

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before. Make sure future statues are in pentagrams, and put a little side blurb that “maiming, disfiguring, or destroying this statue will complete the act of sacrifice to the deity”. Basically, anyone who defaces the display is, in effect, performing the “ritual of display destruction” - which pleases TST.

Edit: Make it a three- or four-panel cartoon. Reading is a tough concept for some people.

I’m sure responding to Kim in the appropriate manner could, conceivably, trigger a seismic event in the region which might harm our allies, eg Japan. Apologies in advance.
