« Last post by catfish1957 on Today at 05:59:02 pm »At our visit last year, saw a photographer get within 5 feet of a bison at Yellowstone. Dozens were yelling at him to get the hell away. Guy got lucky, and was able to escape. Still, he looked like an Antifa Hippy, so I really wasn't shocked at the antics.

Despite Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall's reassurances, the governors are outraged at what they see as a Defense Department end-run around their authorities that they say could set a negative precedent.

WASHINGTON — The governors of 48 US states, plus those of the five US territories, are urging the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) to reject a Pentagon proposal to shift hundreds of serving Air National Guard personnel to the Space Force.
In a letter addressed to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and published today, the governors express their “strong objection” to Legislative Proposal 480 (LP480), which they argue “would would weaken or eliminate their authority over the National Guard and threaten readiness and operational efficacy of their units.”
The letter follows an April 9 press release by the National Governors’ Association protesting the Air Force’s March 29 proposal.

Playboy model Karen McDougal told her lawyer about 'sexual' affair with married Trump
By Ben Kochman
Karen McDougal, the Playboy model who says she had a year-long affair with a married Donald Trump, told her lawyer about the "sexual" and "romantic" relationship, the attorney testified Tuesday.
"Ms. McDougal alleged that she had had a romantic affair with Donald Trump some years prior," lawyer Keith Davidson said, while describing a series of texts he traded with National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard in the summer of 2016.
“When you say romantic, does that mean sexual?” prosecutor Joshua Steinglass then asked Davidson.
“That’s what she expressed,” Davidson testified.
Is this hearsay?

These past couple of weeks will yield years of memes.

Protesters at Columbia University who have occupied Hamilton Hall unfurled a new banner on Tuesday from a window in the building.
The banner reads, "Glory to the martyrs." It also has a message in Spanish: "Tortuguita Vive la lucha sigue," which translated means, "Tortuguita lives, the fight continues."
The banner depicts the face of Manuel Paez Terán, also known as "Tortuguita," an Atlanta-based anti-cop activist who was killed for allegedly firing upon law enforcement during a "Cop City" altercation last year. "Cop City" is a derogatory name for the planned Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, a training facility for police and first responders scheduled to open later this year.
