According to numbers compiled by the Harvard Law Review, U.S. District Courts have issued more sweeping injunctions against Trump in the past two months than they have against three former presidents over their entire terms.

Since Jan. 20, lower courts have imposed 15 nationwide injunctions against the Trump administration, compared to what the Harvard Law Review recounts as six over the course of George W. Bush’s eight-year presidency, 12 over the course of Barack Obama’s eight years in the White House, and 14 during Joe Biden’s single four-year term.

During his first term, Trump was subjected to 64 nationwide injunctions. If inferior courts continue issuing nationwide injunctions against the Trump administration at the current rate (15 for every two months in office), then the second Trump administration will have accumulated 360 nationwide injunctions by the time the president leaves office—and a grand total of 424 over the course of both of Trump’s terms. However, there have been a total of over 45 rulings or more targeted injunctions leveled against the second Trump administration overall, according to The New York Times. //

The Harvard Law Review’s tally (published in 2024) also noted the increased partisanship of the federal judiciary. Of the six injunctions imposed against Republican Bush, half came from judges appointed by Democrats and half from judges appointed by Republicans. Of the 12 injunctions imposed against Democrat Obama, seven (less than 60%) were issued by judges appointed by Republicans. Of the 64 injunctions Trump’s first Republican administration was slapped with, 92.2% were issued by judges appointed by Democrats. All—100%—of the 14 injunctions issued against Democrat Biden came from Republican-appointed judges. //

The growing use of nationwide injunctions by inferior courts, the prestigious legal journal warned, necessarily has a chilling effect on the development of law and precedent. When several inferior courts of different jurisdictions issue conflicting rulings, the matter often winds up at the U.S. Supreme Court, where a definitive standard is set for addressing similar issues going forward. However, nationwide injunctions halt the continued challenging of executive orders, executive actions, or laws, since, as the Harvard Law Review pointed out, various other inferior courts simply refuse to take up related cases, determining that there can be no demonstration of injury in fact while the nationwide injunctions are in place.

Israel armed forces “eliminated the terrorist Hossam Basel Abdul Karim Shabat, a sniper terrorist from the Beit Hanoun Battalion of the Hamas terrorist organization, who cynically posed as an Al-Jazeera journalist,” the IDF said in a statement Tuesday. //

The ties between Al Jazeera and Hamas are so deep that Israel in May 2024 had to ban the Qatari state-funded broadcaster from operating in the country.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Al Jazeera a “terror channel.”

“Al Jazeera harmed Israel’s security, actively participated in the Oct. 7 massacre, and incited against Israeli soldiers,” Prime Minister Netanyahu said in March 2024.

Where were these Guardians of Justice when Joe Biden illegally invited and lured in millions and millions of "new Americans and undocumented immigrants?" Where? Why nowhere, of course. These robes seemingly had very little to say about U.S. Code § 1325 (based on Article IV, Section IV of the Constitution) and its undeniable violation. A violation that has, and will continue to for decades, fundamentally changed the history of America. Letting in millions and millions of aliens, and then making the citizenry pay for their everything from schooling, health care, drunk driving deaths, rapes, murders, and any other crimes they committed while here has changed life for us all on many different levels.

The loquacious Enten detailed what the numbers mean:

“If the polls have historically underestimated Donald Trump, what is a metric that might get an understanding of how popular he may actually be. So let’s take a look at the percentage of the country who say that we’re on the right track,” Enten said. “It’s actually a very high percentage when you compare it to some historical numbers. What are we talking about? According to Marist, 45% say that we’re on the right track. That’s the second highest that Marist has measured since 2009. How about NBC News? 44%? That’s the highest since 2004.”

“The bottom line is the percentage of Americans who say we’re on the right track is through the roof….

“And also keep in mind, back when [former Vice President] Kamala Harris lost and the Democrats were turned out of power, only about 27 to 28% of the country said the country was on the right track.”

But then he dropped the real kicker:

But in reality, he’s basically more popular than he was at any point in term number one and more popular than he was when he won election back in November of 2024…

China’s geopolitical strategy was always to create dependencies with other nations. It’s amazing we allowed it to get so far into a one sided game. Correct me if I’m wrong but an American company has to partner with a Chinese company then transfer technology to the Chinese one in order to set up shop there. The list of one sided nonsense goes on and on. Who loves Greenpeace more than China? EU and US decimate the industrial base while they build a coal plant a week. Can’t use a windmill to run a steel mill, sorry. Look at how people like McConnell voted pre and post WTO admission for China. Oh, and look at his family business. Chinese shipping!! And his father in law James Chao? Founder of Chinese shipping company Foremost, and also close friends and classmates with former president Jiang Zemin. This is just Mitch, any others make a nice living like this? Did this affect how this relationship between the world, US, and China evolved? Who knows? //

Since the tariff is on the wholesale price, a $10 item that costs Walmart $6 would see a $1.20 tariff. That makes the item $11.20 - just to clarify.

Francos said the order to release the files came directly from the president, and it would be part of a larger Milei project to declassify and release information about the 1970s military crackdown on government opponents, many of whom disappeared.

The government announcement came on March 24, which in Argentina is a public holiday to commemorate the victims of the political strife during the so-called Dirty War. The Dirty War ran roughly between the 1974 death of President Juan Peron and the subsequent 1976 military coup, through to the junta’s fall in 1983.

Peron, who was sent on a 1939 mission to learn about Italian fascism, is an essential figure in the Nazi migration to Argentina. He was a senior member of the fascist government coup that took over the country in 1943. That government declared war on Germany in February 1945, which could be seen as a fig leaf for its true leanings.

In a 1969 interview with historian Felix Luna, quoted by Tomas Eloy Martinez in his Wilson Center paper, “Peron and the Nazi War Criminals,” Peron said he reached out to influential members of the German community to explain that the war was over and Argentina needed to act. “Please understand, we have no choice but to go to war, for if we do not, we will go to Nuremberg.”

Eloy Martinez said Peron told him in 1970 that he orchestrated the effort to collect as many worthy Germans as possible—just as the United States, Russia, England, and France were doing—and because they were technically on the winning side, they would have a free hand.

Peron, who began his first of three presidential terms in 1946, also said he coordinated with Spain’s Generalissimo Francisco Franco, who had remained formally neutral throughout the war.

There are a lot of things that God cannot do, by his very nature. For example, God cannot lie (Numbers 23:19, Hebrews 6:18). God cannot commit an unloving act. God cannot act unjustly. God cannot do an unholy thing.

God is much more consistent in himself than we are. One could even claim (probably an exaggeration) that there are more things humans can do than God can do because we are inconsistent and we can do things which violate our beliefs. We can do one thing one day and then a completely contradictory thing the next. God never acts this way. We can lie. God cannot. We can treat other people with hatred. God cannot. We can be unjust. God cannot.

My conclusion is that God cannot do anything which violates his nature. There are many things that God is… God cannot do anything which violates what he is…

The typical (and really rather shallow) example used by skeptics is that God cannot create a rock so big he cannot lift it. By his nature, since God is omnipotent, then he cannot create a thing he cannot lift. To do so would be to make him not be omnipotent, but he is omnipotent, therefore he cannot do this thing.

This question is based on a popular misunderstanding about the definitions of words like “almighty” or “omnipotent.” These terms do not mean that God can do anything. Rather, they describe the amount of God’s power. Power is the ability to effect change - to make something happen. God (being unlimited) has unlimited power, and the Bible affirms this (Job 11:7-11, 37:23; 2 Corinthians 6:18; Revelation 4:8; etc.). Therefore, God can do whatever is possible to be done. God cannot, however, do that which is actually impossible. This is because true impossibility is not based on the amount of power one has, it is based on what is really possible. The truly impossible is not made possible by adding more power. Therefore, unless context indicates otherwise (e.g. Matthew 19:26 where man’s ability is being shown in contrast to God’s), impossibility means the same thing whether or not God is involved. //

So, the first part of the question is based on a false idea—that God being almighty means that He can do anything. In fact, the Bible itself lists things God cannot do - like lie or deny Himself (Hebrews 6:18; 2 Timothy 2:13; Titus 1:2). The reason He cannot do these things is because of His nature and the nature of reality itself. God cannot do what is not actually possible to be done, like creating a two-sided triangle, or a married bachelor. Just because words can be strung together this way does not make the impossible possible—these things are contradictions, they are truly impossible in reality.

The OED includes a specific sense of this usage of introductory and, and provides early examples from hymns and poems, citing works by Thomas Wyatt, Isaac Watts, John Wesley, and Charles Wesley. This usage is grammatical, though it follows an older stylistic convention, particularly common in verse, hymns, and elevated or rhetorical language.

Here is the definition along with the three earliest citations from the OED:

In expressing doubt at, or asking the truth of, what one has already heard.
Frequent in earlier use in verse, esp. in poems of lament or elegy.

When you run a command in bash it will remember the location of that executable so it doesn't have to search the PATH again each time. So if you run the executable, then change the location, bash will still try to use the old location. You should be able to confirm this with hash -t pip3 which will show the old location.

If you run hash -d pip3 it will tell bash to forget the old location and should find the new one next time you try. //

for most bash features it's easier to use help instead of man, so here help hash

Over the past 30 years you have probably seen multiple articles on constant pressure water pump control valves (CPV). Every article talks about the "magic" of these simple mechanical valves, but rarely do they talk about the benefits of constant pressure during variable water demand for your entire water system.

Adding life to your pump is what CPV's are all about. Additionally, you have the benefits of longer life on all other well components such as pressure switch points and pressure tank bladders/diaphragms. This is due to a CPV limiting excessive cycling on your system.

The goal of these valves has always been to control the pump and keep it from cycling itself to an early death. Your customers enjoying constant pressure is icing on the cake.

Let's look at the most common myths about constant pressure water pump control valves:

Before we get into what Tailscale is or how it compares to a traditional remote access VPN, let’s take a quick look at Tailscale in action. The main problem Tailscale solves is remote access to your internal workloads.

In my homelab, I have a server running Linux. When I’m on my home network, I can access it directly without any issues. But if I step outside and want to access the same server over the Internet, Tailscale makes that much easier and you can have it up and running in about 10 minutes for free.

My take is that this signal app was used extensively during the “Biden” administration and they created the original list of regular participants. How much do you want to bet that Goldberg was a regular participant in those classified briefings during the Biden years and this was a result of an incomplete purge of the unauthorized participants?

Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47

.@CIADirector: "One of the first things that happened when I was confirmed as CIA director was Signal was loaded onto my computer ... One of the things that I was briefed on very early was ... the use of Signal as a permissible work use — it is."

11:03 AM · Mar 25, 2025. //

RATCLIFFE: It is permissible to use to communicate and coordinate for work purposes, provided — provided, Senator — that any decisions that are made are also recorded through formal channels. So, those were procedures that were implemented — my staff implemented those processes, followed those processes, complied with those processes, and finally — just please — so, my communications, to be clear, in a Signal message group, were entirely permissible and lawful — and did not include classified information. //

As Bonchie rightly noted earlier, Goldberg's inclusion on the chat was an unforced error, and frankly, none of the administration should be in contact with him — ever — given his previous bad-faith reporting.

But as Ratcliffe's testimony clearly demonstrates, the use of the app itself by officials for non-classified communication and coordinating for work purposes is both allowed and legal — just as it was under the Biden administration. Hopefully, this will serve as a valuable lesson and help underscore the importance of mindfulness as to proper channels and participants when officials communicate with one another.

In typical applications, magnetic flow meters are sized so that the velocity at maximum flow is approximately 2-3 meters per second. Differential pressure constraints and/or process conditions may preclude application of this general guideline. //

For slurry service, be sure to size magnetic flow meters to operate above the velocity at which solids settle (typically 1 ft/sec), in order to avoid filling the pipe with solids that can affect the measurement and potentially stop flow. Magnetic flow meters for abrasive service are usually sized to operate at low velocity (typically below 3 ft/sec) to reduce wear. In abrasive slurry service, the flow meter should be operated above the velocity at which solids will settle, despite increased wear.

It’s hard to have a conversation with anyone in Washington these days without using Signal. I hate the app. It’s just one more messaging app that must be checked. Everyone in Washington, it seems, has Signal. Government officials use it. Reporters use it. Politicians on Capitol Hill use it. Hillary Clinton used an insecure email server. Everyone else just uses Signal, which, at least, is end-to-end encrypted.

With China thoroughly infiltrating our telecom system, no officials in DC are using built in phone messaging apps or voice to communicate important information now. Apple’s iMessage is robust and secure if the bubbles are blue. But someone may have their iCloud backup turned on, which would capture the chat. What’s App is fine and secure. But, again, someone might have a backup. Signal is secure and once a message is deleted, it is deleted. It is the preferred app.

For members of the Trump Administration, which last term saw rogue embedded progressives leaking classified information and even now has seen ICE raid information leak, bypassing government approved means of communications for Signal makes sense — the rogue bureaucrats provided the incentive.

But that is no excuse to add a reporter to a secure group chat trading information related to bombing the Houthis as the Trump national security team did. //

• This whole mess really does suggest that the Trump Administration, like the Biden Administration, has no clue how to get the Chinese out of our telecom networks.

It is unclear why the D.C. Circuit has allowed Dellinger’s Motion to Dismiss to linger, as opposed to denying it with a note reprimanding his attorneys to follow the controlling procedures for dismissing a case. But by failing to immediately nix Dellinger’s efforts to manipulate the court, we are now seeing other litigants, such as those in the Maryland case challenging the termination of DEI initiatives, trying similar tacks.

The appellate courts need to make clear to litigants that such jockeying will not work, and then they need to put an end to the outrageous preliminary injunctions. And if they refuse to do so, the Supreme Court needs to end its delusional view that it is maintaining the reputation of the judicial branch by allowing the normal process to play out in these politically charged cases—because there is nothing normal about the lower courts’ efforts to unconstitutionally control the Executive Branch.

China has said it will not honor the judgment. “The so-called lawsuit has no basis in fact, law or international precedence,” Chinese embassy spokesman Liu Pengyu told The New York Times. “China does not and will not accept it. If China’s interests are harmed, we will firmly take reciprocal countermeasures according to international law.”

China was not represented at the trial, resulting in a default judgment.

It's unclear why China is buying farmland in the United States. Granted real estate can be a valuable part of an investment portfolio, but China has ample land of their own. Interestingly, China is far from the largest foreign owner of American agricultural land; that largest foreign owner, as of 2021, would be Canada, followed by the Netherlands, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Germany. China's ownership, also as of 2021, is about 383,935 acres. It's likely, though, that the Canadian and other interests represent ownership by large agricultural business concerns, whereas China's purchases are disturbing due to some of the lands' proximity to important U.S. military installations. For example: Chinese interests have purchased 300 acres of land near Grand Forks Air Force Base, which is home to a B-1 Lancer wing, along with other assets.
