My trumpet tree is in full bloom for the 2nd time this summer. Notice there are still plenty of unopened buds?

Today I’m going for a background check and fingerprinting. Why? Because my teaching certification ran out two weeks ago. Might I have committed some heinous crime in those two weeks? What about during the 30+ years my original certification was valid? 🙄

PROTECT THE MOST BIODIVERSE MARINE HABITAT IN THE WORLD

Have you heard of the #VerdeIslandPassage (VIP), a water channel that cuts through the #Philippines?

Wray defers to filing in Proud Boys case about informants on Jan 6. What he SHOULD say is that those informants were tasked to inform on Antifa.

Also fails to mention former FBI Agent being prosecuted.

Garland denies whistleblower claims of DOJ interference in Hunter Biden investigation

Politics Jun 23, 2023 5:54 PM EDT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Merrick Garland pushed back Friday against claims from IRS whistleblowers that the Justice Department interfered with the investigation into Hunter Biden, saying more broadly that attacks on the department’s independence are corrosive.

The Republican-led House Ways and Means Committee on Thursday released a transcript of testimony from Gary Shapley, an IRS official who, among other things, claimed that Garland had denied a request from U.S. Attorney David Weiss of Delaware to be appointed special counsel. That designation would have would have given Weiss the same status as the prosecutor leading the investigation into former President Donald Trump.
