The 8th Amendment comes out in favor of Trump On February 16, 2024, a judge in New York State imposed fines totaling just over $360 million on former president Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, and several related Trump companies and trusts in the civil case brought by the New York attorney general. President Trump's sons Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump were fined just over $4 million each. The court imposed additional sanctions, including injunctions against former president Trump; Donald Trump, Jr.; and Eric Trump from serving as officers or directors in New York corporations for specified numbers of years, among other sanctions. The media reporting on the court's decision has been massive since the decision was rendered. However, little or no reporting focused on the constitutionality of the fines under the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution. President Trump and his co-defendants all have substantial 8th Amendment "excessive fine" challenges to raise. In fact, a review of the facts and applicable law reveal that this decision is simply more election interference.

Biden Claim of Possible Imminent Ceasefire Appears to Have Been Nonsense, and That's Concerning [...] Kirby said he couldn't speak for why Netanyahu was surprised, ducking the question about why Biden said it.

You have a knack for finding cool websites! Interesting article. Quote from it: Moreover: gear and supplies cannot be airlifted all the way to Base Camp. Helicopters will have to leave their loads at Syanboche, above Namche Bazaar, a day and a half away. From that point, yaks will have to carry the loads. "The idea here is to spread economic benefit to the local yak herders and porters," explained Dawa Steven. "The practice of yak herding is slowly dying out because of a lack of incentives. It also creates other problems, like having less yak dung for cooking and heating." Yak dung is the main source of fuel above tree line, located at around 4,000m. -------- Yakkity yak.

There Are New Rules for Pooping on Mount Everest Poop it out, pack it down. That's the new directive for climbers on Mount Everest this year. On Thursday, February 9, Nepali officials told the BBC that mountaineers ascending the world's highest peak will have to bring their feces down to Base Camp using plastic wag bags. The rule was instated by the Pasang Lhamu municipality, the local government that oversees much of the Nepali side of the peak. "Our mountains have begun to stink," Mingma Sherpa, chairman of Pasang Lhamu rural municipality, told the BBC. "We are getting complaints that human stools are visible on rocks and some climbers are falling sick. This is not acceptable and erodes our image."
