To all those who have posted comments with regards to the whereabouts of the Princess of Wales she has spoken for the first time about her desire to tell her children first before making a public announcement.
My thoughts are with her and her family at this moment in time.
Kristel Candelario, enjoying some time on a beach. She posted it to her social media with the caption: “The time enjoyed is the time truly lived.” For ten days, Candelario had the time of her life in Puerto Rico...
Ohio woman gets life in prison after toddler starved at home while she was on vacation..
The judge who oversaw Candelario’s case, Brendan Sheehan, said traveling out of state while leaving a toddler home alone without food was “the ultimate betrayal” that deserved one of the harshest legal punishments available.
judge convicted Kristel Candelario of a life sentence without parole. As he passed down the sentence, he spoke the following words: “Just as you didn’t let Jailyn out of her confinement, so too you should spend the rest of your life in a cell without freedom. The only difference will be, the prison will at least feed you and give you liquid that you denied her.”

I studied Uilleann (Irish) pipes in a former life and pipers often talked about their 'big gig' was to play in a pub on St. Patrick's Day. Some made the most money on that event, more than any other performance.
Good music, great craic... lots of brew.
I quick scanned the forums and blogs, but not to see any mention of this holiday today.
Tradition for those living in Chicago is to witness them adding dye into the river!

I see in the news, Russian president Vladimir Putin is up for reelection and there is no one (who survived) who is running against him. He's expected to win the election this week, making it his 7th consecutive term.
That means parades and parties in the street to celebrate...
only thing left to do is pick up a torch and burn down certain buildings and hotels.
Had Tip taken a leaf out of a Galwegian book as to how they resolved their matter 4wks ago,

I'm a short distance from a golf course. On top of the clubhouse is a weather station with a device for monitoring lightning strikes. I've read that Coral Springs (not far from me) is the lightning capital of the world. It's where marshland easterly winds meet ocean westerly winds, causing temperature and humidity changes.
The weather station system has sirens (that can be heard a mile away) to alert golfers of impending danger.
It was dark when I got up to go walking, only to hear rains and the sirens around 6:30am
Thinking who the fuk plays golf in the dark?
Maybe they should put a timer on that device!
A clip of the weather radar showing the storm this morning. It traveled across the state west to east with most of the rain during the night.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) required a loyalty pledge from the 2024 presidential candidates to endorse the party's nominee and to be allowed on the debate stage. Trump declined to sign and didn't participate (directly) in any of the debates.
Nikki Haley is the last GOP candidate standing against Trump and said she no longer feels bound to pledge her support for Trump if he becomes the nominee.
Stated in an interview that aired this past Sunday on NBC's show Meet The Press, Haley said: “The RNC is now not the same RNC,” adding “I'll make what decision I want to make."
Hang in there Haley... Trump was found guilty of defamation, corporate corruption and is teetering on insurrection, theft of classified documents and an attempt to overturn the Georgia election.
Who knows, if he goes to jail you will become the Republican nominee with a chance to win the 2024 election against Sleepy Joe. At that point... they will be asking your pledge to pardon Trump's sentence.

Daniel Gwynn found himself on death row at 25 after Philadelphia prosecutors said in court that two witnesses had picked him out of a photo array in a fatal arson case.
The photo spread had by then gone missing, and his trial lawyer in 1995 may not have asked for other proof of the supposed match. But appellate lawyers who spent decades pursuing his innocence claims finally unearthed the police photo — with a federal judge's help — in 2016 and Gwynn was noticeably absent.
“He was nowhere to be found," said lawyer Karl Schwartz, who joined Gwynn as he left prison this week after 30 years, most of it spent on death row in western Pennsylvania. “It shocks the conscience.

Trump's hush money trial is scheduled to start on March 25. It's about his then lawyer Michael Cohen violating federal campaign finance laws with payment to 'hush' adult star Stormy Daniels, who Trump had an affair with back in 2006. Cohen spent time in jail for tax evasion related to this case.
It's a full-time job keeping up all the back and forth of the players as there were other payments that included former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who says she had s*xual encounters with Trump.
As expected, Trump has denied affairs with either woman.
Yesterday, I read that Trump (via his lawyers) is seeking to block testimony from Stormy and Michael.
Huh?? That means, should Trump get his way, the two main components in the case would not be allowed to testify in a case directly about them.
Yeah, I get it... Hush
