You may like these - and a bunch of other people on this site will as well. I just replaced my old Steelcase desk (the giant metal desks with the wood-like top that was also metal) with a new 81"x59" L-shaped executive desk. It actually has wood, so I wanted coasters.
When I saw these I absolutely had to have them. I use them every day.
Just remember - treason is REALLY hard to get charged, and even harder to prove. There are a few cases that could go to treason (0bama, Biden, Hillary, Brennan, Clapper, and Milley) but the rest would likely be Sedition.
Yes, but it is a little more difficult. If another crime (related to the first) has been committed within the last five years prosecutors can open a RICO case and use the first crime to show a pattern and establish the RICO case. So - if the good guys can open a case on the electronic voting and/or tabulating machines (for example) and show that they were hacked/abused/modified in 2020 and 2024 they have a pattern and thus a RICO case can go forward. Then other stuff related can be brought in as well.
Personally I don't see any issues stopping a RICO case for these issues. They've been using the same methods and actions for a LONG time. We'll see how the activist judges feel.
You just have to play their game.
That's what I think. By the time charges are disputed and the restaurant finds out about it the woman is gone. Unless they have cameras or the same waiter is there when she comes back - and recognizes her as the dispute queen - they won't know it's her. How would they know she's even there (unless they have someone monitoring any cameras they have) until she even gives them her credit card?
I don't buy it. But - the plastic gloves while eating seafood isn't a half-bad idea. Shrimp stink can stay on your hands a while if the restaurant has crap soap.
According to Google it is legal tender. From what I know, if the mint produces a coin with a dollar value on it (regardless of whether it is commemorative or not) it is legal tender. No dollar value, not legal tender.
The US Mint is already striking the coins. Incidentally - the Treasury is the parent of the Mint (for coins) and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (for bills). The Treasury itself doesn't print or strike anything - they tell their divisions below them what to print/strike.
No - it makes you responsible for staying inside of the guardrails they give you for how much money the indigent person has from their Social Security and Pension at the end of every month. You have to pay the Nursing Home or Hospice, a fee for the person doing the work (you have a signed contract), and certain personal care items like haircuts, hearing aids, glasses - whatever the person medically needs. In my case I had to setup a special trust (Qualified Income Trust) so the pay-out money would be sent by ACH or Check from there according to a schedule. Mom's pension put her over the limit so I had to be careful to make sure all of the income over the tiny amount she was allowed to keep each month went through the trust and to the nursing home by check - delivered by a specified date. I was allowed to use a bit of that overage to Fedex the checks.
If Mom had actual assets they would've been liquidated and outside of what they gave me in the contract, all of that would've gone to Medicaid. The only thing she did have was a couple of life insurance policies worth a total of about $16k - just enough to bury her, but thanks to the lawyer they were protected and transferred to me via the personal-services contract as part of the "spend-down" process. I just kept paying the premium for the last couple months (out of my money) before Mom died and I activated them for the funeral home/cemetery. She lived in an apartment with her grandson (my sister - his mom died during COVID and he was a minor). They had a car but it was his. Most of the small amount of cash she had was put towards the lawyer.
Fortunately she used to babysit the Funeral Director's kids when they lived across the street from her, and he handled everything for me, including dealing with the 2 insurance companies and the Florida funeral director. Mom already had a plot beside Dad up in Maryland, so she had to be shipped across state lines, by plane to MD. There are all kinds of laws and regulations that deal with that scenario. I was trying to figure out how to pick a Florida funeral director to begin that process around 1am and he called me and told me he already took care of all of it - the morgue called him in MD directly. He also did a decent discount for her so the $16k would fully cover everything (including the FL required stuff). Great guy.
The kind of guardianship they do in Florida is difficult, and I found out today they probably would've denied me anyway since the guardian is supposed to live in Florida - even though she was in a nursing home. I planned to move her to Texas but that would've probably been denied by Florida as well.
Back to paying the bills - both the US and FL governments won't allow you to pay the bills because that money is allocated to go into Medicaid. She had a couple of credit cards with small balances that weren't being paid for several months before she ended up in the ER with an infection and never came back out. They both charged off when they were notified she died.
I'll reiterate this again - talk to your parents about Durable Powers of Attorney, or even guardianship while you can still protect some of your assets you worked hard for so you could pass them to your kids. Medicaid will look back 5 years and charge high penalties if they see someone transferring assets or giving stuff away. More than 5 years and you are ok. And for the seniors here - talk to your kids about the same since they aren't thinking about any of this. I think you can enact a DPOA with a lawyer and have it written in such a way that it becomes effective only after some threshold is met (like being declared incompetent, or being diagnosed with dementia/alzheimers, or on a certain date). Check on your state - most are different.
This may hasten the arrival of Y'all Street.
Can you imagine all of the Wall Street brokers and bankers moving somewhere with no state income tax (Texas)?

Something has been bothering me with all the sister stuff. I've heard he adopted her, he got guardianship over her, and he just raised her - all from the MSM. Which is it? Can a 22 year old adopt his 13 year old sister? Was he her brother daddy or her daddy brother? Why can't the media just pick one and roll with it? I would lean towards guardianship - it doesn't sound as weird. Supposedly he did it partly to make sure she had health insurance. Guardianship would be legit for that purpose.
Side note - the State of Florida was trying to get me to take guardianship over my mom when she was dying. The hospital even had "lawyers and doctors we work with". That is a major hassle and would cost $15-25K for lawyers, doctors, and court costs. I beat their game by getting a Durable Power of Attorney when I found out the doctors at the hospital actually weren't the ones who declared her incompetent - it was the administrators. As soon as I found out they were lying to me I sent a lawyer over to the hospital with my nephew as my proxy (I live in TX and he lived with her in FL, so I was on video) and he executed the DPOA with Mom signing it while an administrator tried to stop it. That cost under $1k and gave me the same rights as guardianship would have, while also making some things easier in regards to the Medicaid "pay-down" they make you do so she will be indigent. I sincerely hope none of you ever have to deal with that.
Note that getting guardianship over a child because of a case like Graham's where both parents died is far easier when you are dealing with a minor than it is when you are dealing with an elderly dementia patient - especially in Florida. Many of their Medicaid and Elder laws suck.
Sounds like a great tool. Is it only for windows or will it work in Linux? I'm curious because I very rarely do anything in windows (other than work stuff that relies on M$FT). I'll look more at it tonight myself, but just hoping it will work in Linux.
I'm not a fan of this one. I am assuming that his sister Darline is the executor of his estate. That is a LOT of work - especially when dealing with someone who was - or almost was - a millionaire.
Side note - for him to be in the Senate for so long and not be a multimillionaire, maybe he was actually decent and didn't cheat the system. He was still a warmonger though.
Darline will serve from whenever they swear her in, until January 3. She has multiple jobs, a family with adult children and at least one grandchild, and very little time to serve as a Senator. I'm sure his estate will go through probate, and there could be fights in the family. She will have to deal with all of that while learning what to do in the Senate.
I get the sentiment, but I'm not sure she knows what is in store for her and her family. Maybe one of her adult children can be executor, but who knows.
I just think these kinds of appointments should be very rare, and thought about for more than a day. The appointee may not have any idea what they are in for with the learning curve and the executor duties - and the press watching every move.
... wallet? 🤣
