The terrorists were operating within a terrorist command and control center embedded in a designated humanitarian area of Khan Yunis, the IDF added. The military specified that Mabhouh was a senior Hamas terrorist, Abu Daqqa was the head of Hamas's Aerial Unit in Gaza, and Tabesh served as chief of the Observation and Targets Department in the terror group's Military Intelligence Headquarters. The military further noted that all three had been directly involved in the October 7 massacre and had carried out attacks against IDF troops and the state of Israel.

This is the best early review of the debate that I've seen so far. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ABC News 'Moderators' Made a Joke of the Presidential Debate If moderators do their job correctly, nobody talks about them afterward. Unless one becomes a legendary moderator like Jim Lehrer, debate watchers don't remember who the moderator was. Back in 2012 CNN debate moderator Candy Crowley let her bias get the best of her and incorrectly "corrected" Republican nominee Mitt Romney's remarks about Barack Obama and the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, and her credibility was ruined. [...] Not a single sentient being expected ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis to be impartial in any way given their history of reporting on the candidates, but the partisanship and unequal treatment of the candidates went far beyond any expectations and set a new standard for how not to moderate a debate.

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man: Fizzicle-Therapy lady came, unbelievably blessed relief man. No hurricane today, just regular-seeming intermittent rain man. An errand was run, and Subway for lunch was obtained*, ingest we man. *WUOC, financially savvy we man A lengthy siesta was then taken, zzz we man. Mini-B.'s skool Band was to perform the Natural Anthem at the ball game, honor for Honors Band man. We T-B.-mobiled to ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa, travel we man. The Rojo drove the ex-Mrs.-T-B.-mobile through rain and traffic to the ballpark, chauffeur Rojo man. The impromptu financial arrangements were as follows, see man: 1. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. bought the Many (2+2) tickets, expen$ive man. 2. We were to buy the parking, see below man. Many. The Rojo ended up funding the vittles, see below man. We had been advised by Band Director to purchase parking on-line in advance, advise he everyone man. We dutifully did this, si man. We found the nearest lot at a seemingly reasonable $Many ($2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 -1), si man. The total was $Many ($2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 +1), tax and "service fees" man! As we drove up, lots across the street were advertising $Many ($2x2x2x2x2 -2), man. Many highly foxy chicas populated the stadium corridors, including rubias man. Tuesdays are $1 for beef hot dogs, reasonable man. Every other food/beverage item costs $Many -- si man, $Many -- outrageous rip-off man. Fortunately, the Rojo funded the vittles, final total probably more than we paid for parking man. We consumed Many (2+2) hot dogs, ingest we man. The Rojo also ordered Many (2+2), ex-Mrs.-T-B. consuming one man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. kept disappearing, trying to check up on Mini-B., aysheep helicopter-mommy ex-she man man. Our seats sucked, foul-ground area of left field man. We had to keep getting up to let idiots pass through, get all your damned food at once please man. Mini-B.'s band performed, we presume acceptably because acoustics sucked man. Mini-B., ex-Mrs.-T-B., and the Rojo finally showed up during the Many'rd inning, delays and long walk man. Mini-B. had an "endless" popcorn bucket that cost $Many, share popcorn we and wee man man. Lady behind us got hit in mouth by scorched foul ball, bleeding mouth man. Game sucked until home team tied score in Many'th inning, finally some excitement man. We left during the Many'th inning, getting late and needed to beat traffic man. Drive back was as easy as the trip in was not, straightforward and without delays man. Got Mini-B. embedded only an hour later than usual, exhausted wee man man. We conclude that one must be a damned $Many,000,000-aire to afford ball games, why even bother man. However, Mini-B. said that he would do the experience again, so that part was worth it man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Mini-B. has after-skool basketball** on Wednesday, take we man wee man man. **where maybe attractive-but-married mom-of-amigo will be seen again, sigh we man And that was/is our thrilling Tuesday, report we man.

Acknowledged. The couple should agree on as much as possible and consult a lawyer for the rest (even seeing one or more for the usually-free initial half-hour consultation). The USC might even be able to submit divorce papers himself, with competent guidance. Investigate the possibilities.

As hard as it is, I'd still wait and honor the 90 days, then follow up or involve your Congressman's office.

It can and has been done. Is it advisable? It's usually recommended against. If there's going to be absolutely no argument between the parties about division of assets, etc., it can be OK.

A hijack post has been split from this thread into its own topic in this same forum.

The above was split from someone else's thread. Corinna, someone will be along to answer soon.

Now tell us how you really feel, si mam ma'am. (Note to self, self-see man: Do not displease, irk, or enrage the fearsome mam ma'am, no man!) We miss DHL, si and sigh man -- the very best for ground and air, si man.

We need more threads like this.

VERY well-stated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remember when Democrats (and everybody else) thought Kamala Harris was a bad vice president? In the weeks since a group of secretive Democratic powerbrokers pushed President Joe Biden out of the race, the party as a whole has embraced Vice President Kamala Harris with astonishing speed. Now, on the eve of the first, and possibly only, debate with former President Donald Trump, Harris is still riding a seven-week "sugar high" of celebratory media coverage and polls showing increased Democratic enthusiasm for a race many once viewed with dread. Watch a Harris rally and you'll likely see the audience chant a trance-like KA-MA-LA, KA-MA-LA. They’re in love — for the moment. But it wasn't too long ago that many Democratic insiders, and many in the party in general, considered Harris a failure at the job of vice president. Their unhappiness with Harris, which started with disappointment and evolved into something stronger, spilled into media reports and the general political conversation. There was broad agreement that Harris had just not been a very good pick for the nation's second-highest position.

VDH comes as close as he ever has to losing it. This is a pointed, eloquent piece. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Biden-Harris World Is Afire Somehow the United States ended up this summer with no engaged president and an absent vice president who avoids the missing president and is frantically repudiating everything she co-owned the last three years. The world was already confused over how President Joe Biden was apparently declared by unnamed Democratic insiders and donors unfit and unable to continue as their presidential candidate—as if he were a dethroned Third-World usurper. It further wondered how those who staged his removal had no problem allowing him, in his debilitated state, to continue as America's commander-in-chief until January 20, 2025. They demonstrated their priorities that focus on retaining power, not the welfare of the nation or the will of over 14 million Biden primary voters. Vice President Kamala Harris, until Biden's forced abdication, was judged by these same backroom fixers as too incompetent to ever be commander-in-chief and thus for three years a good reason why Biden apparently was not forced out earlier. Now nominal Vice President Harris is on the campaign trail nonstop, while Biden has taken the most vacation time off and worked the shortest workweek in presidential memory. The world again wonders who is in charge, what they believe, who is a friend, and who is an enemy. Harris is busy trying to get elected on three premises: [...] https://amgreatness.com/2024/09/09/the-biden-harris-world-is-afire/

This Senate race means control or no control... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Moderate' Tester Goes Kamikaze in Montana If you don't live in Montana, you can be forgiven for thinking that "Shady Sheehy" is a mixed drink popular in the old-time Irish saloons of Butte. But it's not. "Shady Sheehy" is the disparaging nickname hung on his election opponent by U.S. Sen. Jon Tester. Long before Montana's June primary, Tester and his super PAC surrogates had dominated the airwaves with ads targeting Montana businessman Tim Sheehy as the worst possible candidate – an out-of-state millionaire who was seemingly shady because he had too much money! Those ads mostly complained about how Sheehy had glitzy mansions and a ranch where he charged other "out-of-staters" to come and hunt on his wildlife-rich property. If you didn't know any better, you would think that Jon Tester was running as a far-left anti-capitalist liberal whose campaign was based on class envy. But no. Tester is a candidate who [...] https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/09/09/moderate_tester_goes_kamikaze_montana_151578.html

Why Does My Cat Sit on My Stuff? Anyone who is familiar with cats knows that they will lie on the book in front of you, the piece of paper you just set down, the object you want to take a picture of, the box you are about to start packing with, or anything else that you seem to need right at that moment. But why? Is it for attention? Neediness? A sense of feline superiority and overall ... cattiness? Let's take a deep dive into the inner motivations of our feline friends when they choose to sit on or in whatever object we might need.

38-Pound Cat Rescued After Being Fed a Diet of Cookies and Soup Often, homeless and stray animals must survive on whatever they can find - or are given by humans - to eat. That was the case for Kroshik, a Russian cat found living in the basement of a hospital who was surviving on a diet of cookies and soup. Kroshik, which translates to "Crumbs," weighed a shocking 38 pounds when he was rescued, and he was unable to walk because of it.
