Perhaps. I don't think so. I just have more trouble on the keyboard. I can blame it on all the ads that stall the site. I type and type and can't see what I type, as it stalls. Then all of the sudden it all appears with spelling issues galore. Musty Moo Moo Moo!! mspart

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-strips-security-clearances-alvin-bragg-letitia-james-others-2042541 Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced on Monday that her office has revoted revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James, among others. Gabbard said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, "Per @POTUS directive, I have revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman, along with the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden 'disinformation' letter. The President's Daily Brief is no longer being provided to former President Biden." So that's a thing. mspart

Ask ICE. I am not privy to those documents. But if you want to know what this guy was a part of and probably lead others to do at Columbia, that was illegal. There is no doubt about it. Being part of illegal activity can be, and often is, a mechanism to revoke government provided privileges. mspart

I fat fingered that title. I'm doing that more and more lately. mspart

https://apnews.com/article/tesla-cybertruck-fire-seattle-7cd720096694b8455684db31159ed666 SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle fire officials said a late Sunday fire that damaged four Tesla Cybertrucks is under investigation. The four Cybertrucks were parked in a Tesla lot in Seattle’s industrial district. No one was injured, and the four trucks were the only property damaged. The first call came at 11:13 p.m. Sunday, said David Cuerpo, Seattle Fire spokesperson. Tesla has been a target of protests and vandalism in the U.S. and elsewhere after CEO Elon Musk took a prominent role in President Donald Trump’s administration. People have protested Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, which has been moving to slash the size of the federal government through large-scale layoffs, contract cancellations and other moves. Police in Oregon last week said they are working with the FBI to investigate gunshots fired at a Tesla dealership. That shooting came a week after federal prosecutors in Denver charged a woman in connection with vandalism against a Tesla dealership in Colorado, including Molotov cocktails being thrown at vehicles and the words “Nazi cars” spray-painted on the building. The PNW is not kind to Tesla or Musk apparently. msaprt

Apparently you have trouble placing your posts in the correct sequence. Or quoting what you are addressing. I admit to doing the same thing myself. That's why I said "I hope you are not talking about...." I thought it might be that you were referring to something else, but it was right after mine. mspart

Read my post. The police were called. Woke politics gave the protestors a pass. Those who camped illegally and those who took over hamilton hall should be prosecuted. They are adults and responsible for their actions. You can say they were not arrested for illegal activity, but you cannot say they did not engage in illegal activity. Which is what you are trying to say. mspart

Gotta pace yourself for sure. mspart

You guys are hilarious. Trying to mold the law into what you want it to be. He was a leader of illegal protests at Columbia period. I'm sure he will have his hearing and he will have the due process that he is entitled to. mspart

85 pages and who cares if Twitter is better or not. It is running well and efficiently. It is not a publicly traded company, it is a privately held enterprise. You guys are worried that Musk might lose money on the deal? LOL!!! mspart

Please state the statute that makes these actions legal. Setting up a tent city on the quad? https://blog.simplejustice.us/2024/04/24/columbia-blinks/ Columbia’s president, Nemat Shafik, calling in the NYPD to arrest students who refused to leave what they called the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” Taking over Hamilton Hall? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/professional-outside-agitators-behind-illegal-takeover-of-columbia-university-academic-building-nypd/ar-AA1nXf7h NYPD brass and Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday blamed outside agitators for the illegal takeover of an academic building at Columbia University as officials urged the Ivy League student protesters to call it quits. Not allowing Jewish students onto campus? Disrupting classes and the learning of students? Protesting or demonstrating without a permit to do so? You get the idea. mspart

Some funny stuff guys! mspart

That's awesome! I love to hear that. I tried to get my kids interested and only two actually play but they noodle around mostly. Which is essentially what I do. I played piano, flute, and french horn and didn't last very long on any of those. But the guitar has been a 50 year quest and I really love playing. I'm no good, but I love playing along with backing tracks I find on youtube. That way I am the guitar on the song. The keyboardist of our band recently wrote some songs one of which really grabs me. I'm waiting for some spare time to add a bit of slow lead to it. The time never seems to come. You can hear it here: mspart

Turley doesn't have much patience for academic law profs that cry crisis every other day. They want the constitution abolished. So that tells you where they are in this grand experiment of ours. Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky published a book titled “No Democracy Lasts Forever: How the Constitution Threatens the United States.” So that's the ilk of the folks telling us Trump is breaking the constitution. They don't like the constitution so it is a problem when someone follows it. They do their usual thing where everything is opposite day. mspart

I started as a teen so it was probably easier to pick up. I am not a fast picker or on the fret board by any means. Any leads I play sound like a rote scale. But I love playing guitar and learning new things. Most recent new songs (minus leads): Back in Black Hell's Bells Rock Bottom (UFO) Layla Nothing else matters (I can almost do that easy lead, the beginning tricky picking is really tricky) Ten years gone It's been fun for sure. I played bass in a semi successful band in college. After we broke up (due to graduations etc) we got called by our favorite place to play to be the house band. And the biggest place in the area called and offered us a spot. There were 3 of 5 left (drummer and keyboardist/lead singer) and we decided we couldn't continue with out the two that left. So that was it. Got me through college for the most part the last year or two. It was a fun time. mspart

This brings up a good point. Why would we continue to fund the postal service that can't keep a budget and where there is competition that does? The only reason is subsidized and worse service. If USPS had to make money, they would be much more expensive. mspart

RV, this guy broke the law with his protest. He took over university property, illegally formed a camp in the quad, did not remove when directed to do so. He was a ring leader for the illegal protest at Columbia. Unfortunately for you, Trump campaigned on dong this, and wonder of wonders, he's doing it. Your original post makes him sound like an innocent guy just protesting. He was not. He was here with permission but knew that he was a visitor and that privilege could be taken away at any time. With Biden and Kamala, he was safe. mspart

Hi all, I am getting a new guitar. Felt like we could use something less controversial for a change. Unfortunately it is stuck in Boardman, OR. Where is that you ask? Coming from Portland, it is before you get to Pendleton, home of the famous Pendleton Roundup rodeo. It is along the Columbia River that unfortunately for Pres Jefferson, did not run all the way from west coast to east coast. There was the little thing called the Rocky Mountains and Continental Divide that kept that from happening. As it turns out, the Columbia comes from Canada. So Lewis and Clark had to hoof it for part of their adventure. Anyway, the guitar is a Hagstrom Viking semi hollowbody similar to the Gibson ES-335. I have heard reviews on Youtube and everyone that plays it thinks its great. In a side by side comparison with the ES-335 (which I have always wanted but is too spendy), it sounds great. It is pictured below. I am no great guitar player but the price was right and I made the leap. I'm hoping to have a lot of fun with this one. mspart

That water looks toxic in the pool. You might want to be careful there. The sunset is awesome. We rarely see that here in Seattle. mspart

Punjabi!! mspart

So says the red bottom feeder crustacean. mspart
