youll recall how the Arrogant Dipshit Brothers, Mark Meadows and Jeffrey Clark, tried to pull their yeah sorry, were just not into being arrested act. Fani Yours In Service Willis was having none of it. she wrote,
Defendant Jeffrey Bossert Clark has moved this Court for an Emergency Motion to Stay the pending State court criminal proceedings against him based on an apparent misread of the applicable statutes, a misapprehension of the binding caselaw, and a fundamental misunderstanding of criminal procedureboth state and federal.
misreading and misunderstanding the law that sounds about right for the oil spill lawyer whom Trump wanted to make his Attorney General.

'A barrage of gunfire': Police respond to active shooting in Pittsburgh's Garfield neighborhood
Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Hundreds of law enforcement officers are responding to an active shooting situation in Pittsburghs Garfield neighborhood, and residents are being warned to stay away.
Pittsburgh Public Safety said to avoid the 4800 block of Broad Street and North Mathilda Street in Garfield. The area is near Allegheny Cemetery and around the corner from Childrens Hospital in a busy corridor of Penn Avenue.
Allegheny County Sheriffs deputies went to a residence to serve an eviction notice when the suspect began shooting, sheriffs office spokesman Mike Manko said. A sergeant leading the incident suffered a minor injury while avoiding the gunfire, Mr. Manko said. The sergeant was not shot.
Law enforcement officials were trying to get people in the area safely evacuated from their homes. Hundreds of shots had been ringing out in the area starting around 11 a.m., and the shooting continued into the early evening.

So it's 4:30 p.m. and right now, it's raining in Pittsburgh. I haven't heard an update with news about victims injured or dead. This is a densely populated area of the city, so any random shooting in this neighborhood could cause problems.
Tiedrich rant: Mark Meadows: poster boy for the entitled male dipshit
Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/mark-meadows-poster-boy-for-the-entitled
but Mark Meadows is an entitled male dipshit and so he thinks that being booked in some dingy Atlanta jailhouse is beneath him.
Mark believes what so many entitled dipshit criminals believe: my crimes arent really crimes, and therefore, Fani Willis has no business prosecuting me for them. check and mate!
Meadows wants his case moved to federal court where he thinks his my crimes arent really crimes strategy will have a better chance of success (spoiler alert: nah, bro), and so he wants Willis to give him a free pass on Fridays booking deadline.

I think Fani Willis has the warrants already written up, just in case he doesn't show.
PA Gov. Josh Shapiro will headline New Hampshire Democrats' convention on Sept. 30
Philly Inquirer link: https://www.inquirer.com/politics/clout/josh-shapiro-new-hampshire-presidential-primary-20230822.html
New Hampshires Democratic Party described the Sept. 30 gathering at Bedford High School as a premier Democratic political event in the country, in a release announcing Shapiros appearance. Every national Democratic leader in the last 50 years has spoken at a NHDP convention, attracting sitting presidents, vice presidents, potential presidential candidates, every chairman of the Democratic National Committee and other notable national leaders.
Shapiro will talk about his campaign and beating state Sen. Doug Mastriano ahead of New Hampshires own battle for an open gubernatorial seat next year. The New Hampshire governors race is widely viewed to be one of the most competitive in the nation.
In Pennsylvania, we defeated extremism and showed the rest of the country what it looks like to come together behind a vision for a better future one where we create real opportunity while defending our rights and advancing real freedom for all. Shapiro said in a release. New Hampshire voters face a similar choice next November. ... Im grateful for the opportunity to speak to Granite Staters at this critical time for both New Hampshire and our nations future.

Our Governor Josh Shapiro will say great things about President Joe Biden, I'm sure. He's always willing to help other Dem candidates and he gives exciting campaign speeches.
PA Supreme Court says state police can't hide how it monitors social media
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette link: https://www.post-gazette.com/news/crime-courts/2023/08/22/pennsylvania-supreme-court-police-social-media-monitor-policy/stories/202308220089
This is a breaking Associated Press story.
All four Democratic justices supported the majority decision, which said the lower Commonwealth Court went beyond its authority in trying to give the state police another attempt to justify keeping details of the policy a secret. Tuesday's order appears to end a six-year legal battle. A state police spokesperson said the agency is reviewing the court decision.
Andrew Christy, a lawyer with the ACLU of Pennsylvania, said the ruling sort of puts law enforcement on the same playing field as all government agencies. If they have a legal justification to keep something secret, then they have to put forth sufficient evidence to justify that.
People need to know what police are doing in order to decide if it's appropriate, he argued.

Thank you ACLU of Pennsylvania - once again!
Sandra Bullock Reportedly Feels The Blind Side Is 'Tainted,' But Here's Why She Is Not
The Root link: https://www.theroot.com/report-sandra-bullock-feels-the-blind-side-is-tainted-1850759247
Superstar actress Sandra Bullock was widely praised for her performance as Leigh Anne, and swept through awards season, winning nearly every Best Actress honor. By the time the 82nd Academy Awards in 2010 came along, she was a lock to win the Best Actress Oscar. But the lawsuit between Oher and the Tuohys has left that win with an asterisk next to it.
- snip -
Some people are calling for the Bird Box actress to return her Oscar. Let me be clear, theres no reason for Sandra Bullock to give up her award. Plenty of actors have won for playing dishonest characters, so she shouldnt be punished for someone elses faults. Plus, if were taking back Oscars, theres a long list of problematic men we need to start with. If the lawsuit proves that Michael is telling the truth about the Tuohys, and they knowingly misrepresented themselves as the people who saved his life, when they were actually the ones who stole from him, Im not sure it makes much difference where Bullock or her Oscar are concerned. Lets be honest, if they didnt strip Will Smith of his Academy Award after he slapped the hell out of Chris Rock during the ceremony, theyre not going after hers.
Theres a reason movies like this say theyre based on a true story. What those words actually mean is weve taken a lot of dramatic license with this boring life story, so only a small part of it is actually true. Yes, theres a big jump between adding a speech into a scene and completely rewriting the facts, but the most that will come out of this is The Blind Side being taken out of rotation on TNT. And dont bet against the Academy awarding Bullock with another Oscar, just so this one can be negated.

Senators Casey & Fetterman are urging Norfolk Southern to join feds' close call reporting system
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette link: https://www.post-gazette.com/news/politics-nation/2023/08/21/casey-fetterman-norfolk-southern-close-call-report/stories/202308210087
The Federal Railroad Administrations Confidential Close Call Reporting System allows employees to report near-misses or close calls on railroads and protects them from discipline for reporting such incidents.
Norfolk Southern said in March that it was engaged in a working group on the program and planned to join, noting it would build on its own close-call reporting system and mark another step we are taking to further our commitment to safety, according to CEO Alan Shaw.
But the senators, both Pennsylvania Democrats, say the Atlanta-based company hasnt met its pledge. In a letter to Mr. Shaw, they called the FRAs close call reporting system a promising program with real potential to improve rail safety, protect employees, and reduce incidents if adopted by a larger swath of the rail industry.

Come on Norfolk southern! It's time to get your head out of the sand.
My daughter was killed by a hit-and-run. A simple step makes it easier to catch drivers who flee
Philadelphia Inquirer link: https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/jay-alert-pennsylvania-bill-senator-anthony-williams-20230821.html
My four children were walking home from school around 3 p.m. when Paul Woodlyn III drove around a stopped trolley car at North 63rd Street and Lansdowne Avenue and hit two of them: Jayanna and her brother Hassan Cox, 12, who had been holding her hand. Jayanna was thrown 100 feet in the air; she died later that day at Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia. Hassan suffered injuries to his leg.
Woodlyn fled the scene. The Philadelphia Police Departments Crash Investigation Division found that there were no tire marks on the roads, indicating that the driver didnt even try to stop.
- snip -
After running into my children in broad daylight, Woodlyn took his vehicle to an auto body shop in Chester County. His girlfriend, who dropped off the car at the body shop, said that the damage to the car happened when it hit a deer. When the owner of the auto body shop saw the news reports of the fatal crash, he reported the vehicle and the suspect to authorities. If that shop owner hadnt seen the news, we might never have found my daughters killer. A matter this important shouldnt be left up to chance.

This is a worthy proposal, and it should be turned into a state program for reporting possible hit-and-run drivers. If Amber Alerts can help nail kidnapping child abusers, then this "Jay Alert" can help too.
Tiedrich rant: don't give me any bullshit about how unfairly Donald Trump is being treated
Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/dont-give-me-any-bullshit-about-how
Kalief Browder was a 16-year-old kid from the Bronx. he was accused of stealing a backpack. cops arrested him, handcuffed him and took him to jail, where he was fingerprinted and photographed. at his arraignment, he pleaded not guilty. he was denied bail and was sent to Rikers Island to await trial.
Donald Trump was indicted in Florida on 40 felony counts of stealing classified documents and hiding them in the unspeakably ugly bathroom of his shitty vermin-infested Florida golf motel. he flew in his private jet to Palm Beach, where again he was driven by motorcade to his arraignment. again, he pleaded not guilty, and again he was neither handcuffed nor fingerprinted. no mug shots were taken, and he was released without bail. afterwards, he went on TV to whine about it.
after arriving at Rikers Island, Kalief Browder spent the next three years there two of them in solitary confinement waiting for a trial that never came. surveillance footage shows Kalief being beaten by both corrections officers and fellow prisoners. trial dates were set, and then postponed, and then set again, and then postponed again and again for three years.

It's truly sickening how Chump has been pampered and coddled his entire life. And yet he's a career criminal and all he can do is complain and tell lies.
New bills would let Pennsylvania local governments hire firms as managers
Spotlight PA link: https://www.spotlightpa.org/statecollege/2023/08/pennsylvania-legislature-local-government-management/
Three sets of bills in the legislature would amend the governing laws for Pennsylvania boroughs, second class townships, and third class cities classified by population sizes and provide an alternative municipal management option. First class townships have had the choice since 2020.
Under current law, Pennsylvania municipalities can only appoint individuals as managers, a rule that state Rep. Bob Freeman (D., Northampton) said can be particularly burdensome for smaller communities that are unable to pay the salary and benefits of a full-time administrator or manager on their own.
The change would allow municipalities to hire a range of professional groups to serve as managers, said Freeman, a prime sponsor for one of the bills. The option also would address increased costs and a shortage of municipal managers that have made hiring difficult, he added.

I'm not aware of any "first class townships" in Pennsylvania that have already taken this step. Can anyone enlighten us? If you know of any PA township that's currently being run by a professional management group, please post it here.
