They are hoping seniors won't notice. The "One Big Beautiful Bill" gives a temporary tax deduction for seniors over 65 until 2028, but this is mostly twisted words. It won't wipe out taxes on Social Security for everyone. If you're under 65 or making too much, good luck getting any relief at all.

I miss the days when all the cool websites used Flash. I think Macromedia killed it for some reason. Probably because it had security flaws, back then it was pretty bandwidth-intensive too, but it made for some dynamic web designs.

The plot thickens. If anybody wants to save a click this is the article from 2001.

HAYDEN, Idaho -- Firefighters burned some of the remaining buildings on the former Aryan Nations compound during training exercises this week.

The 20-acre property is owned by the Carr Foundation, which offered the abandoned buildings to Northern Lakes Fire District officials for training, fire inspector Dean Marcus said.

The foundation bought the compound in April from Victoria and Jason Keenan, who won a $6.2 million judgment against the Aryan Nations and its founder, Richard Butler.

Firefighters said they had no political agenda in burning four of the seven buildings during sessions that started Tuesday evening.

"It just gives the folks the opportunity to train how we work," Chief Jeff Welch said.

A bomb squad dog searched the buildings Thursday to make sure they were safe.

Firefighters plan to torch Butler's former home and the neo-Nazi sect's former church July 15.

Amazing! The sugar amounts seem kinda excessive for me at least, but you sound like a cook that knows measurements, loving the references to half and full palm fulls, going to try this recipe out. Different styles of cooking necessitate different styles of approaches. Appreciate the post.

Is this a mulberry? It looks to me like a plant sport which is a variation arising from a single plant that differs genetically from the parent plant, it is essentially a mutation that manifests as a noticeable change in a plant's characteristics, it can sometimes happen when the cellular structure has been messed with (say cutting off a limb) and the dormant buds grow and divide in differing ways giving the variation in the leaf characteristics. It's just a guess though.

Surveillance goes both ways, at least for now. Every LAPD officer to be issued full face masks in 3,2,1

Would it be ingenuous to ask what brand of hot sauce it was? Hot sauce lover here.

Hundreds of international students in the US are getting an email from the US Department of State (DOS) asking them to self-deport owing to campus activism. Immigration attorneys’ contacted by TOI affirmed this development and added a few Indian students may also be at the receiving end of such emails – for something as innocuous as sharing a social media post.

It is not just international students who physically participated in campus activism but also those who shared or liked ‘anti-national’ posts that are the target of these emails, said an immigration attorney.

This crackdown is based on social-media reviews being conducted by DOS (which includes Consulate officials). Thus, even new student applications be it for an F (academic study visa), M (vocational study visa) or J (exchange visa) will also come under such social media scrutiny.

Applicants will be denied the opportunity to study in the US.

 

"The administration has downplayed the importance of the text messages inadvertently sent to The Atlantic’s editor in chief." By Jeffrey Goldberg and Shane Harris.

“In light of statements today from multiple administration officials, including before the Senate Intelligence Committee, that the information in the Signal chain about the Houthi strike is not classified, and that it does not contain ‘war plans,’ The Atlantic is considering publishing the entirety of the Signal chain.”
