I'm watching it on Amazon Prime. I noticed Ensign Griggs.
Wait! That looks like a really young Robert Mitchum! Can't be, movie was made in '65. It's James Mitchum, his son.

This dramatic moment captures the moment the United States Navy light cruiser USS Santa Fe (CL-60) experienced a severe roll of approximately 53 degrees while encountering giant waves in the South China Sea during Typhoon Cobra in December 1944. This near-fatal angle of roll demonstrates the ferocity of nature's wrath on a fleet operating in the Western Pacific.
Typhoon Cobra—which struck the US Third Fleet—created sea conditions with hurricane-force winds and waves tens of meters high. In these conditions, the USS Santa Fe struggled to maintain stability, as seawater swept across the deck and the ship's weight shifted dangerously. The 53-degree roll was beyond the ship's ability to right itself, making every second a gamble between survival and capsizing.
The USS Santa Fe's success in weathering this storm demonstrated the robustness of American warship design, the skill of its navigational officers, and the crew's discipline in damage control procedures. The incident also served as a bitter lesson for the US Navy about the importance of weather forecasting and fleet management during combat operations.

"The Formation of Kings County. Shown here is the proposed map of Kings County that was published in the Hanford Journal on January 24, 1893. At the time, there was considerable opposition against the formation of Kings County from Tulare County. Opponents even went so far as to propose other two other counties to be formed as well: Putnam County, which would have Porterville as the county seat and Buena Vista County, which would have the City of Tulare as the county seat.
The next exhibit being planned for the Carnegie Museum of Kings County will be titled "Building Kings County" and will showcase the creation of the county, along with all the towns, businesses and organizations that existed at that time. I will be one of the co-curators for the exhibit. The exhibit will begin in early February."
"The north western boundary of Kings County separating Fresno County runs right through the Kreyenhagen Ranch. Supposedly, at the junction of 3 counties, Monterey Fresno and Kings County, the three points were marked by a small notice on a big oak at the top of Castle Mountain."
Great land description.

It's an easy way to get ideas for oddball combinations, either to break me out of a rut, get me started playing in new directions, or just bounce ideas around.

I'll admit that when she was introduced I thought, "Lord, help us!" and was ready to hit the Mute button. But, butter my butt and call me a biscuit! This was quite lovely!
A few personal flourishes, but all in all, well done.

I saw a comment on another forum, "Maduro said he would meet President Trump any time, any place...so we sent an Uber."
On a more serious note,
President Barack Obama did not seek or receive a specific, new congressional authorization for the operation that killed Osama bin Laden. Instead, his administration relied on the existing...
Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) passed by Congress in 2001.
Legal Basis for the Operation
The legal justification for Operation Neptune Spear was based on several factors:
2001 AUMF: This authorization, passed after the 9-11 attacks, allowed the president to use force against those involved in or supporting the attacks, a category that included Osama bin Laden.
International Law: The administration viewed the action as a lawful act of self-defense within an ongoing conflict with al-Qaeda, citing Article 51 of the UN Charter and arguing that bin Laden remained a threat and a legitimate military target.
Executive Authority: The President's constitutional role as Commander-in-Chief was also cited as providing inherent authority for the use of force in defense of the nation, distinguishing the operation from a prohibited assassination.
The operation proceeded without Pakistan's advance knowledge, with the U.S. asserting the right to act in self-defense if a nation is
"unwilling or unable" to address a terrorist threat within its borders.-

If these weapons were smuggled into the US and traceable to Maduro, I can see the charge.
I can see a gun smuggling charge if that's what happened, but from what I've seen, the charge is possession.

New Year's Eve is a night to stay home. If we do anything special, it's buy three or four different appetizer or meaty snack foods - egg rolls, tacquitos, etc. or chips and dips. One year we did go out to a local eatery/bar that we liked. A place we went about once a month and had good relations with the staff. Made taxi reservations the day before to be taken there and picked up. It was crowded. It was way too loud. It was expensive. But, we never have to do it again.
New Year's Day is a day for watching the Tournament of Roses Parade (this year was pretty darned good - television actually showed the marching bands for more than 2 seconds before spending 10 minutes on the next float, or focusing on the professional rap singers) , then watching college football. Food is leftovers or make your own. I did make a pot of soup. -
I'm not quite sure what I think about it. Especially the charges of possession of machine guns and destructive devices. How would those AMERICAN laws apply to a foreign leader in his own country.
QuoteThe specific charges are:- Possession of machine guns and destructive devices.
- Conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices against the United States.
These weapons charges are ancillary to the primary allegations that Maduro and his associates used their positions of power in Venezuela to provide political and military protection for rampant cocaine trafficking. The indictment alleges that this operation involved using "machineguns that were capable of automatically shooting more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger, as well as destructive devices" to facilitate the movement of large amounts of cocaine into the U.S..U.S. authorities contend that Maduro and his top lieutenants were operating a vast drug-trafficking enterprise (known as the "Cartel de Los Soles" or "Cartel of the Suns" within Venezuela) that intended to flood the U.S. with cocaine. The weapons charges stem from the use of heavy weaponry to support these criminal activities.The U.S. Department of Justice announced the indictment in March 2020, during the Trump administration, and does not recognize Maduro as the legitimate head of state, which it argues invalidates any claim to head-of-state immunity from prosecution.-

how are black eye peas normally served?
@Blackwater 53393 gave a fairly typical version.
I'm partial to Cowboy/Texas/Confederate/Southern Caviar
https://www.spendwithpennies.com/cowboy-caviar/#wprm-recipe-container-134523 but without the avocado and I use bottled Italian Salad Dressing. More like https://www.food.com/recipe/southern-redneck-caviar-371374
I'd put it out for lunch at reenactments, along with a stack of flour tortillas. It's nutritious, filling, vegetarian, and kosher so everyone could eat it. Nobody had cilliac so the tortillas weren't an issue. Even then, they could have had it with one of the versions of cornbread i brought.

It’ll be referred back to the 9th circuit court for en banc hearing before the ink gets dry!!
In over a hundred years, the 9th has only upheld ONE decision of a positive nature to the Second Amendment rendered by a three judge panel and then only because the state failed to file their motion in a timely manner!
This will likely get the same treatment!
Yep. There's a thread over in TEAM SASS.
It's as Blackwater said, law gets struck down by panel, State requests en banc, en banc upholds law.
Lather, Rinse, Repeat ad nauseum .
To expand on his comments about the history of en banc hearings. Something like 3% of requests in other types of cases for en banc hearings are granted. 100% of cases about firearms are accepted. The one case in 130+ years in which the 9th hasn't upheld a California anti-civil rights law was only because State missed a filing date, not on the merits of the case.
There's a thread, or maybe just a video, about it in TEAM SASS.
