Of Course She Didn't Vote For It

Every Michigan representative, Republican and Democrat alike voted on a bill to fight organized retail crime and cargo theft and impose more severe sentences on the criminals performing those acts.

All except one that is.

You guessed it, the rep who voted against it was, of course, Rep Rashida Tlaib (D-Dearbornistan).

 The Detroit News:  Michigan lawmakers join push to cut cargo theft, gift card scams

All but one member of Michigan's U.S. House delegation — progressive Detroit Democrat Rashida Tlaib — supported the CORCA bill when it passed the chamber in May.

"I voted against this bill because it would vastly expand the power of Trump’s Department of Homeland Security to surveil and criminalize our communities," Tlaib said in a statement.

Too many of her constituents are criminals and she clearly doesn't like the idea of cracking down on international criminals that she supports, and not leaving these large scale thefts in the hands of soft-on-crime local prosecutors that slap them on the wrist as they steal billions from law-abiding Americans.

If You Haven't Figured It Out Yet - Don't Trust And Do Verify

 

Ol' Honest Abe certainly knew what he was talking about when it comes to AI.

The Detroit Free Press: Attorney who used AI to cite fake cases sanctioned by Michigan court

The Michigan Court of Appeals has ordered financial sanctions against an attorney and referred him to the Attorney Grievance Commission for using artificial intelligence to cite non-existent cases in an appeal he filed. 

As an attorney, contrary to the general public's belief, you cannot make stuff up to support your case, nor can you use AI to make stuff up to support your case. 

That constitutes a fraud upon the court and is very much disfavored.

We've talked about this before, indeed a few times now, and some attorneys who certainly should absolutely know better by now are just not getting it.  

Whether it is laziness, or falling for something that sounds so good for your case that it has to be true, or the desire to win at all costs, its a major problem and needs to stop.

When it comes to AI, or any other source that you plan to submit to the court,  you do not trust it and you need to verify that it is correct and properly represents the proposition you claim you are are using it for before you file it. 

This is especially so for the siren call provided by hallucinogenic AI responses that just happen to perfectly provide the exact support for your case you asked from it. 

The AI isn't going to be sanctioned for making stuff up, You as the attorney using it without verifying it will be, and properly so. 

Race Card A Tad Overdrawn There

A homeowner in upscale Birmingham on a residential street rented his pool out to a third party who then rented it out to another third party for a pool party (this is a tad unusual). It drew over a hundred and fiftypeople, with  people gathering on the street, dancing on cars, and was loud, disturbing the neighborhood and blocking traffic.

Some media-blurred video of the party scene here.

This led to neighbors not being happy about the disturbance, and understandably so. 

The Detroit News: Birmingham pool party homeowner to appeal citations, vows to party on

The homeowner initially denied anything happened warranting such a response. 

And of course, after that denial, he has to play the race card as the reason why he was cited for the disturbance:

"Unfortunately, I am Black, I’m in Birmingham, and I throw parties, so I get the police called on me almost every time I have people over here," he said. "It comes with the territory,  

The race card is getting a tad overdrawn here. Its not cause he os Blakc, its because he held a raucous party in a nice residential neighborhood, not the hood, and apparently invited the hoodrats to attend:

On that note, the homeowner said he doesn't appreciate comments on social media about Saturday's partygoers, who were Black. He said he's seen people on social media call them "animals." 

He then said he would continue:

Asked if he'll keep throwing pool parties in the future, the homeowner said he will — just not as large, crowded and raucous as the one on Saturday.

"I live here. I pay taxes. I have a right to have gatherings here just like anyone else," he said.

So much for the nothing happened initial defense, now it is he'll make sure to be not as crowded next time.

Since the race card didn't work,  he next stated he would keep doing it, but at least he then did a half-ass sorry, not sorry, apology. 

Click on Detroit: Birmingham pool party homeowner breaks silence, apologizes for neighborhood disruption

In a statement released on Facebook on Friday (June 19), the homeowner (who wants to remain anonymous) acknowledged that guests leaving the June 13 gathering caused significant traffic congestion and inconvenienced nearby residents.

“Regardless of how the event began, I understand that many neighbors were inconvenienced, and for that I am genuinely sorry,” the homeowner said. “I value this community and want to be a good neighbor.”

The homeowner said future events would include additional planning, oversight, and crowd-management measures to prevent similar issues.

It is the "I did it, it happened even though I claim it didn't happen, and I'm gonna do it again" kind of apology.  

A trifecta of fail: Starting with the Dindu Nuffin, Followed up with the Race Card, c;losing out with the sorry not sorry fake apology. 

Very classy, and I'm sure his neighbors don't appreciate it one bit.

Juneteenth

As much as Democrats made Juneteenth a national holiday in order to attempt to maintain America's racial wounds and keep Blacks on the Democrat plantation by pandering to the grievance mongers, we should instead celebrate it in line with its original intent:

Juneteenth commemorates Republicans taking action and freeing slaves from their Democrat masters.

Democrats have been mad at Republicans ever since. 

The Flag Of The Only County In The Middle East

Where gays and trannies don't get flying lessons by being thrown off buildings, is now considered by progressive LGBTQEIEIO idiots to be a "hateful symbol".

The Detroit News:  Michigan LGBTQ group labels Israel flag 'harmful symbolism'

Apparently the mere presence of Israeli flag at the pride march caused trauma and, per the director of the pride festival, "real harm" to gay Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrian, and other LGBTQs from those hotbeds of toleration for LGBT rights.

This is, of course, totally unlike the trauma and "real harm" they might experience of being thrown off buildings or being stoned to death for being LGBTQ in those hotbeds of toleration like Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.

Democrats Becoming The Party Of Terrorism?

Jane's Law says it well: “The devotees of the party in power are smug and arrogant. The devotees of the party out of power are insane.” 

When five out of eight arrested terrorists in a single case are not just progressives but full fledged members of the Democratic party, it certainly constitutes evidence that the Democrats, the party out of power, has indeed gone insane, or at least back to their historic roots.  

The Detroit News: 5 UM threat case suspects were Democratic Party members, ex-chair says

Yes, Democrat party members are the majority of the terrorist suspects. Five Democrat party members, and one of them not just a member but a paid campaign staffer for US Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed. 

Well, Democrats are currently busy supporting Hamas, Hezbollah, the Mullahs of Iran, BLM, and any other anti-American group they can find so it's really not a reach for the party membership to get hands-on, now is it?

The UK Is Probably Wishing It Had An Effective Navy Right About Now

The Guardian: Russian frigate fires warning shots at British yacht in Channel

Yes, in the English Channel, a Russian warship fired rounds at a British yacht that was getting too close  for the Russian's liking.

A Russian warship fired warning shots within a few hundred metres of a British pleasure yacht sailing across the Channel on Tuesday morning amid a period of heightened tensions between London and Moscow.

The rare incident took place at 11.40am more than 20 miles south of the Isle of Wight and less than 40 miles north of Normandy, France, when the yacht, identified as the private vessel Bright Future, sailed close to the Admiral Grigorovich and ignored at least one warning.

“We assess that this is an isolated incident and not linked to the UK’s interception of the Smyrtos this weekend. HMS Mersey has been monitoring the Russian vessel and support has been provided to the crew of the yacht. ”British sources said initial indications were that more than one shot was fired by Russian sailors after the yacht had got close to the heavily armed frigate. “Following attempts to contact a British vessel in the channel, the Grigorovich fired warning shots. These were not aimed at the vessel and were an attempt to prevent a possible collision,” the Ministry of Defence said.

 

Do note that the only ship the Royal Navy could manage to have in the area,  HMS Mersey is a fishery protection patrol vessel and badly over-matched by the Russian Frigate.

 

That the Royal Navy can't even sortie a frigate to shadow the Russian frigate in  the English Channel is a sad commentary on the state of the Royal Navy.

 

Britannia used to rule the waves, now it can't even rule its own home waters.
