Western Boots

Most people I know who wear western boots have pretty solid tastes.

I prefer a round toe, simple stitching, a slanted walking heel or slanted cowboy heel, and leather sole. I also like cutter and snip toes, and I'm OK with a rubber sole if it suits the boot material. I'm a fan of Tecovas for everyday boots.

Man Who Stole and Leaked Trump Tax Returns Sentenced to 5 Years in Federal Prison

And he deserves it. Good analogous grouping with the 1/6ers. They all deserve the time they've earned.

Trump is still a stupid phuck for not releasing them in the first place.


The man who stole and leaked former President Donald Trump and thousands of others’ tax records has been sentenced to five years in prison.

In October, Charles Littlejohn, 38, pleaded guilty to one count of unauthorized disclosures of income tax returns. According to his plea agreement, he stole Trump’s tax returns along with the tax data of “thousands of the nation’s wealthiest people,” while working for a consulting firm with contracts with the Internal Revenue Service.

Littlejohn leaked the information to two news outlets and deleted the documents from his IRS-assigned laptop before returning it and covered the rest of his digital tracks by deleting places where he initially stored the information.


Judge Ana Reyes highlighted the gravity of the crime, saying multiple times that it amounted to an attack against the US and its legal foundation.

“What you did in attacking the sitting president of the United States was an attack on our constitutional democracy,” Reyes said. “We’re talking about someone who … pulled off the biggest heist in IRS history.”

The judge compared Littlejohn’s actions to those of the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, noting that, “your actions were also a threat to our democracy.”

“It engenders the same fear that January 6 does,” Reyes added.

Prosecutors said Littlejohn went through great lengths to steal the tax records undetected, exploiting system loopholes, downloading data to an Apple iPod and uploading the information on a private website he later deleted.

Reyes was also critical of the Justice Department’s decision to only bring one count against Littlejohn.

“The fact that he did what he did and he’s facing one felony count, I have no words for,” the judge said. Prosecutors argued that the one count covers the multitude of Littlejohn’s thefts and leaks.

“A free press and public engagement with the media are critical to any healthy democracy, but stealing and leaking private, personal tax information strips individuals of the legal protection of their most sensitive data,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing recommending Littlejohn be sentenced to the maximum of five years in prison.

“I acted out of a sincere misguided belief,” Littlejohn said in court Monday, adding that he was serving the country and that people had a right to the tax information.

“We as a country make the best decisions when we are all properly informed,” Littlejohn said.

Littlejohn added that he was “aware of the potential consequences” of his actions and knew he would one day be here, in federal court, facing those consequences.

“My actions undermine the fragile faith,” in government institutions in the US, Littlejohn said.

Payton was dealing with stuff outside of basketball

I know some posters like to quickly throw players under the bus but most of the time we have no idea what's going on with them outside of basketball.

The full text of the tweet:

Payton Sandfort reveals that his grandmother passed away Wednesday morning, the day that Iowa played Maryland. She had battled dementia and wasn't able to watch games at the back end of her life.

"Her getting the opportunity to watch Wednesday, watch today from Heaven with my Granpa has been a really special thing," Sandfort said. "I think I have peace in knowing that. It gives me joy that she was watching today."

Lesbians are mean

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PEAKS MORE THAN EVER FOR THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY
Abusive relationships are characterized by consecutive acts of degradation, physical and verbal abuse, intimidation, and excessive control. While abusers will attempt to normalize such behaviors to maintain power in the relationship, these acts are and should always be recognized as domestic violence. What many do not recognize is that aggressive behavioral patterns and violence are even more common in non-heterosexual couples and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Williams Institute of Law:

Black and African American members of the LGBTQIA+ community are more likely to experience physical violence.
Around 44% of lesbian and 61% of bisexual women have experienced forms of rape and physical violence by an intimate partner as compared to 35% of straight women.
26% of gay men and 37% of bisexual men have experienced forms of rape and physical violence by an intimate partner compared to 29% of straight men.
Lifetime intimate partner violence among the transgender community from purposive studies ranges from 31% to 50%
Behind these statistics are real people with real experiences of abuse. LGBTQIA+ individuals face unique challenges in their journey towards safety and stability. Taylor Brown and Jody L. Herman from the UCLA School of Williams Institute list out just some of the challenges that include:

Legal jurisdictions of domestic violence that only refer to heterosexual couples
Low levels of confidence in the sensitivity and effectiveness of law enforcement officials and courts
Criminalization in the legal system because of gender identity and sexual orientation
Increased risk of losing their homes or of experiencing homelessness
Difficulty securing quality healthcare and preventative services
The risk of “outing” oneself and potentially being rejected or isolated from family or friends
How DCVLP is Assisting LGBTQIA+ Clients
DCVLP offers direct legal and advocacy assistance to LGBTQIA+ victims of gender-based and domestic violence through our immigration practice, including:

Asylum applications for individuals who fear persecution in their home country
U and T visas for those who were victims of a crime in the U.S. or of trafficking
VAWA self-petitions to assist survivors of partner or family member abuse to obtain permanent residency without the abusers’ knowledge
Adjustment in Status to assist individuals in the process of applying for long term permanent residency, citizenship, or familial sponsorship
Other Community Partners Assisting LGBTQIA+ Survivors

Is This Reckless Endangerment of a Child?

If a child was eligible but did not receive the MMR vaccine and then contracted one of the diseases?

USA Today reports:

CDC Issues Nationwide Alert Over Measles Outbreak​


U.S. health officials are warning clinicians to be alert for cases of measles following several outbreaks, largely among children who were eligible for the vaccine but did not receive it. The CDC urged vigilance among health providers across the U.S. following reports of nearly two dozen cases of the preventable virus since December.
Most cases were in young children and adolescents who had not received the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine even though they were eligible. There have been similar upticks in measles rates around the world. CDC spokesperson Jasmine Reed confirmed this was the first nationwide alert to clinicians about the latest cases.

Pope: Africans Are A “Special Case” On Homosexuality

Seems to me the love of Jesus and God shouldn't vary by race or culture.

Reuters reports:

Pope Francis said in an interview published on Monday that Africans were a “special case” in the opposition of bishops and many other people in the continent to homosexuality.
But he said he was confident that, except for Africans, critics of his decision to allow blessings for same-sex couples would eventually understand it.
“Those who protest vehemently belong to small ideological groups,” Francis told Italian newspaper La Stampa. “A special case are Africans: for them homosexuality is something ‘bad’ from a cultural point of view, they don’t tolerate it”.
