"What is this @CommunityNotes , @elonmusk ?
None of this evidence has been presented before the Court yet.
My team & I can map exact movements in this video to specific KEY strokes because of Maricopa County's OWN data logs.
This is a smoking gun of election sabotage." - Kari Lake
Musk said during a Miami tech conference in May that he may have never voted Republican and overwhelmingly voted Democrat throughout his life.
"You know [Musk] said the other day 'Oh, I've never voted for a Republican,'" Trump said during a Saturday rally in Anchorage, Alaska. "I said 'I didn't know that.' He told me he voted for me. So he's another bullshit artist."
Trump also said he knew the Musk Twitter deal would fall through. In May, he said that Musk would not buy Twitter at such a "ridiculous price." "Elon is not gonna buy Twitter. Where did you hear that before? From me," Trump said.
Musk had been slated to purchase Twitter for $44 billion, but notified the SEC on Friday that he would no longer be acquiring the social media company. Twitter, who said Musk is contractually obligated to follow through with the deal, said they will be taking Musk to court.
Trump called Musk's contract with Twitter a "rotten deal."
"He's not going to be by buying it," Trump said. "Although he might later. Who the hell knows what's going to happen? He's got a pretty rotten contract. I looked at his contract. Not a good contract."
AG Paxton Celebrates End of Roe v. Wade; Announces Abortion Now Illegal in Texas
AUSTIN – Today the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992), thus bringing an end to a half century of the unconstitutional and unconscionable national “right” to abortion. Attorney General Paxton also released an official advisory setting forth Texas law in light of the Supreme Court’s decision. Additionally, he announced the statewide closure of his agency’s offices today in honor of the nearly 70 million unborn babies killed in the womb since 1973. June 24th will be an annual Office of the Attorney General holiday in recognition of this momentous decision—and the many lives lost before it. “Roe v. Wade and its successor case Planned Parenthood v. Casey have absolutely no basis in the U.S. Constitution,” said Attorney General Paxton. “Nevertheless, for half a century, Americans have had to live under these illegitimate, illegal, and unconstitutional dictates of a partisan, willful Supreme Court. No more. Today, the question of abortion returns to the states. And in Texas, that question has already been answered: abortion is illegal here. I look forward to defending the pro-life laws of Texas and the lives of all unborn children moving forward.” “Further,” added Attorney General Paxton, “we cannot forget the extraordinary violence that Roe and Casey unleashed on our nation. Because of those decisions, almost 70 million babies have been killed in the womb. And so, today at noon, I am closing all my offices as a memorial to these babies. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of them. Never again should something like this happen in America.”
Truck hauling quarter-million eggs crashes on freeway Posted on May 20, 2022
(FOX NEWS) – A tractor-trailer hauling a quarter of a million eggs crashed on a Dallas freeway on Monday, spilling a scrambled mess of raw egg, according to local reports. The crash happened around 4 a.m. on I-30 near downtown Dallas, FOX4 Dallas-Fort Worth reported.
The big rig’s trailer, which contained over 35,000 pounds of eggs, was split open when the driver struck the overpass bridge, according to the station.

Melioidosis is a rare tropical disease caused by exposure to water or soil containing the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Barely a dozen cases are diagnosed in the United States every year, and they are often found in people returning from traveling around Southeast Asia or northern Australia.
But over the course of the first half of 2021 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) picked up four cases of melioidosis is people with no history of travel. Initial genomic sequencing of the bacterial strains indicated a common bacterial source linked the four disparate cases who resided in four separate states.
By August the CDC was hard at work trying to track down a common link between these four cases, two of whom had died from their infection. Hundreds of different samples from each patient’s household were tested and now the CDC detectives believe they have homed in on the culprit – an aromatherapy room spray sold at Walmart.
The positive detection of Burkholderia pseudomallei was found in a product called "Better Homes and Gardens Essential Oil Infused Aromatherapy Room Spray with Gemstones." The product comes in six different scents and all have now been recalled after Walmart indicated they had been available in around 55 stores, and online, between February 2021 and October 2021.
Genomic testing confirmed the bacteria found in the spray bottle sample is linked to strains of the bacteria usually found in Southeast Asia. The product itself was manufactured in India.
A CDC spokesperson says there is no evidence of intentional contamination. Instead, the most likely explanation at this stage is accidental contamination at some point in the manufacturing process.
The aromatherapy spray bottle that tested positive for Burkholderia pseudomallei was found in the household of a melioidosis case in Georgia. Further work is needed to connect this positive detection to the other three melioidosis cases, but the CDC says because of the widespread availability of this product across the country it issued a public notice as soon as it detected the positive sample.
“Our hearts go out to the families that have been impacted by this situation,” says the director of CDC’s Division of High-Consequence Pathogens and Pathology, Inger Damon. “We at CDC have been very concerned to see these serious related illness spread across time and geography. That is why our scientists have continued to work tirelessly to try to find the potential source for the melioidosis infections in these patients. We hope this work can help protect other people who may have used this spray.”
Depending on how early an infection is caught and treated, melioidosis can have a fatality rate of anywhere from 10 to 40 percent. It is generally not transmitted person to person.
Symptoms can appear between two and four weeks after infection, and manifest in a wide variety of signs depending on the route of infection. For example, a localized infection starting in a skin cut or scratch can lead to fever, swelling and ulceration, while an infection that begins in the lungs can present in coughs, chest pain and headaches.
Needless to say, the CDC advises anyone who has this product in their home to stop using it immediately. The agency recommends anyone with recent exposure to the spray contact their doctor and discuss a potential antibiotic course as a preventative measure. Plus, the CDC advises anyone with one of these products in their house not dispose of it as regular trash.
“Double bag the bottle in clean, clear zip-top bags and place in a small cardboard box,” the CDC advises. “Return the bagged and boxed product to a Walmart store.”

11.3 END OF OCCUPATION AND DURATION OF GC OBLIGATIONS
The status of belligerent occupation ends when the conditions for its application are no longer met. Certain GC obligations with respect to occupied territory continue for the duration of the occupation after the general close of military operations.
11.3.1 End of Occupation. Belligerent occupation ceases when the conditions for its application are no longer met.81 In particular, as discussed below, the status of belligerent occupation ceases when the invader no longer factually governs the occupied territory or when a hostile relationship no longer exists between the State of the occupied territory and the Occupying Power. 82
Belligerent occupation ends when the Occupying Power no longer has effectively placed the occupied territory under its control. 83 For example, an uprising by the local population may prevent the Occupying Power from actually enforcing its authority over occupied territory. Similarly, the Occupying Power’s expulsion or complete withdrawal from the territory would also suffice because the former Occupying Power generally would not be able to control sufficiently the occupied territory.
Belligerent occupation also may end when a hostile relationship no longer exists between the Occupying Power and the State of the occupied territory (although, as discussed in the following subsection, certain GC obligations may continue to apply). 84 For example, if a new, independent government of the previously occupied territory assumes control of the territory and consents to the presence of the previously occupying forces, then such a situation would no longer be considered a belligerent occupation. Similarly, if a peace treaty legitimately transfers the territory to the sovereignty of the Occupying Power, then the Occupying Power would no longer be characterized as such. However, an Occupying Power is not permitted, under the law of belligerent occupation, to annex occupied territory.85
11.3.2 Duration of GC Obligations in the Case of Occupied Territory. In the home territory of parties to the conflict, the application of the GC shall cease on the general close of military operations. 86
In the case of occupied territory, the application of the GC shall cease one year after the general close of military operations; however, the Occupying Power shall be bound, for the duration of the occupation, to the extent that such State exercises the functions of government in such territory, by the provisions of the following Articles of the GC:
• 1 through 12 (general provisions and common articles, e.g., the Protecting Power continues to function, and the derogation for security reasons continues to apply); • 27, 29 through 34 (humane treatment); • 47 (preserves rights as against change by annexation or arrangement with the local authorities so long as occupation lasts); • 49 (transfers, evacuation, and deportation); • 51, 52 (prohibitions against certain compulsory service and protection of workers); • 53 (respect for property); • 59, 61 through 63 (facilitating relief programs); • 64 through 77 (criminal proceedings); and • 143 (access by Protecting Powers and the ICRC). 87
The one-year time limit for the cessation of the application of the GC (apart from the provisions that continue to apply to the extent that the Occupying Power exercises the functions of government in occupied territory) was proposed to account for situations like those of Germany and Japan after World War II. 88 AP I provides that the 1949 Geneva Conventions and AP I shall cease to apply, in the case of occupied territories, on the termination of the occupation;89 coalition partners that are Occupying Powers and Parties to AP I would be bound by this rule.
In any case, individuals entitled to GC protection who remain in the custody of the Occupying Power following the end of occupation retain that protection until their release, repatriation, or re-establishment. 90 In addition, it may be appropriate following the end of occupation to continue to apply by analogy certain rules from the law of belligerent occupation, even if such rules do not apply as a matter of law. 91
11.4 LEGAL POSITION OF THE OCCUPYING POWER
Military occupation of enemy territory involves a complicated, trilateral set of legal relations between the Occupying Power, the temporarily ousted sovereign authority, and the inhabitants of occupied territory.92 The fact of occupation gives the Occupying Power the right to govern enemy territory temporarily, but does not transfer sovereignty over occupied territory to the Occupying Power.
11.4.1 Right of the Occupying Power to Govern the Enemy Territory Temporarily. The right to govern the territory of the enemy during its military occupation is one of the incidents of war.93 By the fact of occupation (i.e., the Occupying Power’s established power over occupied territory), the Occupying Power is conferred the authority to exercise some of the rights of sovereignty.94 The exercise of these sovereign rights also results from the necessity of maintaining law and order, indispensable both to the inhabitants and to the occupying force, and the failure or inability of the legitimate government to exercise its functions, or the undesirability of allowing it to do so.95
11.4.2 Limitations on the Power of the Occupying Power Stemming From Its Lack of Sovereignty Over Occupied Territory. Belligerent occupation in a foreign war, being based upon the possession of enemy territory, necessarily implies that the sovereignty of the occupied territory is not vested in the Occupying Power. 96 Occupation is essentially provisional.
Because sovereignty is not vested in the Occupying Power, the fact of military occupation does not authorize the Occupying Power to take certain actions. For example, the Occupying Power is not authorized by the fact of belligerent occupation to annex occupied territory or to create a new State.98 In addition, the Occupying Power may not compel the inhabitants of occupied territory to become its nationals or otherwise to swear allegiance to it.99 Similarly, in view of the provisional nature of belligerent occupation, the authority of the Occupying Power under occupation law has been interpreted as being subject to limitations on the ability of the Occupying Power to alter institutions of government permanently or change the constitution of a country.100
11.5 DUTY OF THE OCCUPYING POWER TO ENSURE PUBLIC ORDER AND SAFETY
The authority of the legitimate power having in fact passed into the hands of the Occupying Power, the latter shall take all the measures in its power to restore, and ensure, as far as possible, public order and safety, while respecting, unless absolutely prevented, the laws in force in the country. 101 This principle has been recognized as customary international law.102
The Occupying Power has a general duty to maintain public order and to provide for the preservation of rights of the inhabitants, including rights to their private property.10
11.5.1 Authority Conferred by the Occupying Power’s Duty to Ensure Public Order and Safety. The Occupying Power’s duty to take all the measures in its power to restore and ensure, as far as possible, public order and safety also provides it authority take such actions. For example, the Occupying Power may enact provisions to maintain the orderly government of the territory.10
11.5.2 Duty to Respect, Unless Absolutely Prevented, the Laws in Force in the Country. The duty to respect, unless absolutely prevented, the laws in force in the country prohibits the Occupying Power from arbitrarily exercising its authority to suspend, repeal, or change the municipal law applicable to occupied territory. 105
The duty to respect, unless absolutely prevented, the laws in force in the country has been interpreted not to apply to local administrative laws, such as regulations, executive orders, ordinances, and decrees.106
