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.

I've always thought that the .223/5.56 NATO is too small to be sufficiently effective.
The old .308/7.62, and the older .30-06 are a good size for hunting bear,
but are too large (too much recoil) for tactical use.

They're now introducing the .277 Fury, which is a little larger than halfway between the two.
I was thinking that a .270 would be about right, but the military wants longer range.

The .277 Fury has a chamber pressure of 80,000 psi!
I suspect that those rounds will be reserved for the military,
and that a lower pressure version will be sold to the public.
(That, and the full pressure round is likely to cost about $2.00 each!)

 Where the hell are the parents of these deluded Columbia students chanting about attacking Jews?
By Social Links for Piers Morgan
Published April 30, 2024, 11:15 a.m. ET

It costs around $90,000 a year to attend Columbia University.

Most undergraduates do four years of studying there, which means that if they’re not getting any subsidized grants, their parents are coughing up a total of $360,000 just for their tuition, housing, food and books.

Add in other expenses like travel, and Mommy and Daddy won’t be getting much change out of $400,000.

That’s a lot of money.

But those parents would doubtless consider it a price worth paying to give their child what is supposedly one of the best educations in the world at such a supposedly elite institution with a supposedly world-class reputation.

I use the “supposedly” because Columbia has now proved itself to be none of those things.

Instead, it’s become a disgraceful hotbed of toxic terrorism-supporting insanity and its lunatic students have literally taken over the asylum.

Another Biden lie.  The man barely passed Law School. 79th out of 86.  I'd like to know who the dude was that finished last.  He'd make a better president then Lieden.

If that guy is still alive, I'm guessing he had enough sense to retire at least 15 years ago.

I find it a hoot that Tump thinks he can tap into RDS' supporters for cash, after all the shit the orange menace threw last year.

RDS might forgive, but I bet over half of RDS supporters won't.

The guy campaigned in all 99 Iowa counties without winning one of them.  Is this the support you reference?  88devil

Illinois / Brandon Johnson to reinstate guaranteed income in Chicago using remaining COVID-19 relief funds

Brandon Johnson to reinstate guaranteed income in Chicago using remaining COVID-19 relief funds

.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson will reinstate a guaranteed income program to use up remaining COVID-19 relief funds instead of returning the money to the federal government.

The city received the money in 2021 and must allocate all of the remaining funds by the end of 2024 and spend the money by 2026, or else it must be returned. Chicago officials are hopeful all of the money will be allocated by November.

Last year, thousands of families participated in the pilot guaranteed income program, and it was popular. More than 176,000 families applied to the program, which only had 5,000 openings. The previous program gave eligible participants an extra $500 per month with no strings attached.

“The bulk of the dollars on the community initiative side will go out and have gone out under this mayor. And so it is really critically important to him that we get this done correctly and that we return $0 to the Treasury, and so that’s what our focus is,” Johnson Budget Director Annette Guzman said Monday.

Guzman said details about when the program will start again are still being finalized.

Under former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, the city received $1.9 billion in COVID-19 relief funds. Now, the city has a remaining $374 million in federal funds it’s left for community projects.

Chicago has spent 79% of the federal funds and already allocated 88%. The money saved for community projects, however, has been spent and allocated at a lower percentage. About $576 million was saved for community programs. The city has spent 35% of that and allocated about 59%
