лет 25 назад столкнулся с коронером, он цифру сказал. но часть выживших при выстреле скоро умирают, другие становятся (полу)слабоумными инвалидами - % тех и других не называл.

По сравнению с таблетками или мостом например это более гарантированный путь в ад минуя middleman.

Хмм.... Пошла статистику самоубийств посмотрела (на CDC странице). 2 факта заинтересовали: 80% самоубийц это мужчины; и на каждую смерть от самоубийства приходится 45 попыток (разные люди конечно)......

Нападающие надели жилеты, однако потом покончили с собой

Нападение на мечеть в Сан-Диего: Община скорбит по трем мужчинам, которые погибли, защищая прихожан в Исламском центре Сан-Диего. Нападавшие были в бронежилетах и оставили записки с расистскими лозунгами. https://www.whec.com/ap-top-news/commun ... go-mosque/

Полиция идентифицировала стрелков как Кейна Кларка (17 лет) и Калеба Васкеса (18 лет). Они были одеты в камуфляжное тактическое снаряжение и вели прямую трансляцию начала засады в интернете. ФБР подтвердило, что подростки познакомились в интернете, сошлись на почве экстремистских взглядов и подверглись сильной радикализации в сети. Следователи изъяли из автомобиля подозреваемых манифесты и «антиисламские записи». Тексты содержали идеи белого превосходства, неонацизма, антисемитизма и ненависти к ЛГБТК+. На одном из видов огнестрельного оружия была нанесена надпись «язык вражды». Из-за быстрого закрытия дверей и прибытия полиции подростки были вынуждены бежать. Они отъехали на несколько кварталов от мечети и покончили с собой в салоне своего автомобиля.

Примерно за два часа до стрельбы мать Кларка в отчаянии позвонила в полицию Сан-Диего. Она сообщила, что ее сын пропал, высказывает суицидальные мысли и украл из дома несколько единиц оружия. Офицеры все еще опрашивали женщину, когда поступили первые звонки о стрельбе в мечети. В ходе обысков федеральные власти изъяли более 30 единиц огнестрельного оружия в домах, связанных с подозреваемыми.

Ten thousand losses.

That’s the Trump administration’s track record in court as federal judges grapple with the way ICE agents have swept through major U.S. cities and detained thousands of people in support of President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation agenda.

More than 10,000 times, judges have said those detentions, typically carried out with no opportunity for detainees to plead their case, were illegal. That’s roughly 90 percent of all cases — a staggering rejection of a core piece of Trump’s immigration agenda...

...The trend is clear from every angle. The administration has lost nearly 10,400 of the cases that have been decided, and prevailed in about 1,200. While some judges have heard more cases than others, the overwhelming majority of judges — more than 425 — have reached the same conclusion. Even a majority of Trump-appointed judges have sided against the administration...

...These more than 10,000 cases include a nursing mother who was detained despite active refugee status and another mother separated from her one-year-old child and released from custody only when her son landed in the hospital. They include parents of U.S. military servicemembers, trafficking victims or witnesses, a 5-year-old boy detained by ICE on his way home from school...

... arresting parents dropping off school kids, positioning agents in courthouses to make arrests after immigration hearings, detaining people at ICE offices after routine check-ins, grabbing people once promised protection from enforcement through programs like DACA, and executing after-the-fact warrants that judges say have been used to paper over unjustified arrests...

...“Despite hundreds of similar rulings in this and other courts resoundingly in favor of the ICE-detainee petitioners, ICE continues to act contrary to law, to spend taxpayer money needlessly, and to waste the scarce resources of the judiciary,” said U.S. District Judge Harvey Bartle III, a George H.W. Bush appointee from Pennsylvania.

И какой ответ у нашего любимого правительства на все это? А ответ простой:

Justice Department spokesperson Natalie Baldassare, asked about the more than 10,000 rulings against the administration, replied: “That’s great, now the American people can see how judges are putting personal policy preferences ahead of proper interpretations of the law.”

Недавно в соседней теме один из сторонников Трампа обвинил меня в том, что я "хочу жить в стране беззакония". Интересно, кто из нас на самом деле хочет жить в стране беззакония - я или он?

The tobacco company Reynolds American donated $5 million to a super PAC backed by President Trump last month, about one week before his administration rolled out a new policy that could prove lucrative to the tobacco industry.

The donation, which came through a Reynolds subsidiary and brings to $8 million the total donated by the subsidiary to MAGA Inc., the Trump-backed super PAC, was revealed in a campaign finance report filed Wednesday night.

The donation came on April 30.

Two days later, a top executive at Reynolds and two lobbyists who represent the company had lunch with Mr. Trump at his golf club in Jupiter, Fla. Also attending were two executives from Altria, another tobacco company.

At the lunch, the tobacco industry representatives expressed dissatisfaction with the way the Food and Drug Administration was regulating the industry, as The New York Times reported last week.

Mr. Trump interrupted the conversation to call Dr. Marty Makary, the F.D.A. commissioner.

When Mr. Makary did not answer, the president dialed Dr. Makary’s boss, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and another top health official, Dr. Mehmet Oz, the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

The president complained to the men about the F.D.A.’s regulation of e-cigarettes, according to three people briefed on the meeting who were not authorized to discuss it.

Less than one week later, the F.D.A. issued new guidance that could pave the way for major tobacco companies to begin selling flavored vapes and to snare a chunk of the $6 billion e-cigarette market away from illegal Chinese competitors.

The new policy, which bypassed the F.D.A.’s regular rule-making process, also could allow higher nicotine levels in nicotine pouches. It includes a pledge to prioritize efforts to stop the import of illegal foreign vapes, an idea that has bipartisan support in Congress.

Four days after it was announced, Dr. Makary resigned, telling associates he could not in good conscience remain the head of an agency that backed such a policy.

There is no definitive evidence linking the new F.D.A. guidance to the lunch, the donation or specific lobbying. But the episode represented a victory for an industry that mostly had been on the defensive for years.

Kush Desai, a spokesman for the White House, suggested that the donation had nothing to do with the administration’s shift in vape policy.

“The only guiding factor behind the Trump administration’s health policymaking is gold standard science,” he said in a statement. He added that the F.D.A.’s regulatory treatment of vapes and nicotine pouches “is rooted in recent evidence that has found they can help adults quit smoking.”

Reynolds did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday night...

Наконец-то люди стали получать обещанный еще в августе прошлого года трампофон. Как и все остальное, что делает наш любимый Президент - посредственность, которая резко уступает практически по всем показателям современным телефонам, но при этом гораздо дороже бюджетных устройств, сходным ему по показателям.

- Чувак, его не смотрят! Его показывают!!

Цитата из статьи, которую я привел в прошлом посте:

If you bought a Trump phone hoping to make a statement, I have some bad news for you: Not one person at a party of over 100 people I attended knew what it was and certainly not by sight. When showing others the phone, I had to direct them to look at the block-lettered "Trump Mobile" below the 11-striped American flag before they knew what it was. Even two Trump supporters I tracked down at the party hadn't heard of the phone before.

I got a lot of questions about the Trump Mobile network (it appears to piggyback off T-Mobile's 5G and 4G LTE coverage), and comments about the gold being the color of pee. One teenager said it looked cool, while another refused to touch it. One person asked a very polite but direct question about what exactly I was doing with a Trump phone -- but the overwhelming reaction was one of bemusement, a puzzled look and a brief question about it before moving on with their night.
