About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

TIL the Pioneer League, to which the Oakland Ballers belong, has an extra innings rule: if the score is tied at the end of the 9th, the do a home run derby. 5 batters each side. Most home runs wins.

The Qatar thing is being misrepresented. It’s a dorm and associated training facilities for fighter planes sold to them during the Biden administration. Singapore has a similar facility at the same base. The deal that sells the equipment incudes the training.

Not a new AF base in Idaho. Dorms and associated training facilities for the fighter planes sold to them during the Biden admin. Singapore has similar training faculties at Mountain Home AFB.

That’s extraordinary. Less than 10 years ago they were on the verge of financial collapse. (Also I was roommates with Fr. Greg Boyle when I was a Jesuit.)

Holy footnote, Batman!

Hamilton: What kind of stupid, self-defeating, tyrannical maniac would send the National Guard hundreds of miles from home to oppress people in other states?! Sit down, Don.

$1 “A sample of this is to be observed in the exaggerated and improbable suggestions which have taken place respecting the power of calling for the services of the militia. That of New-Hampshire is to be marched to Georgia, of Georgia to New-Hampshire, of New-York to Kentuke and of Kentuke to Lake Champlain. Nay the debts due to the French and Dutch are to be paid in Militia-men instead of Louis d’ors and ducats. At one moment there is to be a large army to lay prostrate the liberties of the people; at another moment the militia of Virginia are to be dragged from their homes five or six hundred miles to tame the republican contumacy of Massachusetts; and that of Massachusetts is to be transported an equal distance to subdue the refractory haughtiness of the aristocratic Virginians. Do the persons, who rave at this rate, imagine, that their art or their eloquence can impose any conceits or absurdities upon the people of America for infallible truths?$

If there should be an army to be made use of as the engine of despotism what need of the militia? If
there should be no army, whither would the militia, irritated by being called upon to undertake a distant
and hopeless expedition for the purpose of rivetting the chains of slavery upon a part of their countrymen
direct their course, but to the seat of the tyrants, who had meditated so foolish as well as so wicked a
project; to crush them in their imagined intrenchments of power and to make them an example of the just
vengeance of an abused and incensed people? Is this the way in which usurpers stride to dominion over a
numerous and enlightened nation? Do they begin by exciting the detestation of the very instruments of
their intended usurpations? Do they usually commence their career by wanton and disgustful acts of
power calculated to answer no end, but to draw upon themselves universal hatred and execration? Are
suppositions of this sort the sober admonitions of discerning patriots to a discerning people? Or are they
the inflammatory ravings of chagrined incendiaries or distempered enthusiasts? If we were even to
suppose the national rulers actuated by the most ungovernable ambition, it is impossible to believe that
they would employ such preposterous means to accomplish their designs.”
The Federalist No. 29, at 186-187 (Alexander Hamilton) (Jacob Ernest Cooke ed., 1961).

FWIW I took the Intro course with the Miller Program at AJU without having a rabbi. Though they make clear you would need to find one to actually make a conversion.
