Whew. Judge Biery (Clinton appointee) is not messing around, dropping on the feds the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, the Fourth Amendment, Ben Franklin, and the Bible.

The Pentagon DMV is probably the biggest perk of working in the building. In and out for registration renewal in 10 minutes.

If I had a nickel for
(1) every former Army SOFer who told me they were going into rare earth & critical minerals exploration / extraction internationally
and
(2) were ashen after I told them the Pentagon would never bail them out,
I would have a small fistful of nickels at this point.

Pour one out for one of my neighbors who didn't shovel his car out until today and had to end up using an axe to try to break up probably a foot of snow turned solid ice.

I love how this graphic is totally unhelpful for determining whether you're going to get 30 inches of snow or half an inch of ice.

Defense attorneys today challenging attempts by the feds to link their client to the Latin Kings through his "affinity" for the gang:
"Counsel has an 'affinity' for the Chicago Bears, lives in Chicago, and even wears Bears' colors, but alas, is not a member of the Chicago Bears."
"Counsel has an 'affinity' for the Chicago Bears, lives in Chicago, and even wears Bears' colors, but alas, is not a member of the Chicago Bears."
![First, an “affinity” for gang members is completely different from “gang membership.” An affinity for gang members can stem anywhere, including family relationships, professional experiences, community involvement, or even media exposure. See Fonoifua v. Robertson, No. 222CV4280PAKES, 2023 WL 4423603, at *28 (C.D. Cal. Apr. 25, 2023) (“Prospective Juror No. 2947 showed an affinity and sympathy to gang members based on the juror’s statements that gang members attending her school had acted as her ‘protectors’ and that she had taught famous gang members.”). Anyone can have an affinity for anything, including gang members or sports teams.2
The Seventh Circuit in Irvin explained “that common membership in any group, whether it be a gang or a church group, makes it more likely that two people are involved in a given activity together.” 87 F.3d at 864. However, it cannot be fairly said that Mr. Espinoza Martinez’s “affinity” alone makes it more likely that he was involved in any given activity with the Latin Kings. As the Eighth Circuit recognized in Street, the government can only introduce evidence of the defendant’s own gang membership. In this case [Mr. Espinoza Martinez] was not nor ever had been a gang member.” See Street, 548 F.3d at 632 (emphasis in original).
Footnote:
2 For example, the undersigned counsel has an “affinity” for the Chicago Bears, lives in Chicago, and even wears Bear’s colors, but alas, is not a member of the Chicago Bears.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:elipdmmf5istuvtyituspske/bafkreigp57ksr27tlpptcgxuekzdhk2ug2szpwv4thh2mlg7xbmmavqqay@jpeg)

Never bet against the USAF when it comes to air defense. Just don’t.
Financial Times quoting experts:
"Experts had warned that Venezuela's layered air-defence network could complicate US air operations. But it apparently presented little or no resistance to the US strike that captured President Nicolás Maduro."

The thing to realize is that while the Marine Corps spent the interwar period developing amphibious doctrine, we and the Army got it wrong just about every time up to OVERLORD.
They are doing OVERLORD into the Swiss Alps, covered in Fallujah, COLD. Zero warm up.
