7 people shot inside Mall of Louisiana, building locked down; incident involves 'weapon or weapons'

Oh yes they do.

The Trump administration is reclassifying state-licensed medical marijuana. Here's what that means — and doesn't mean​

The reclassification doesn't suddenly make pot legal in the U.S., but it does mark an important shift in the country's relationship with the drug.​

What a dumb thing to say Harry.​

You are all idiot. Here is why so many of you vote Republican. You think it won't hurt you. You got yours. No way that they'll bankrupt your company and renig on your pension. My retired cop buddy is the same way. He's in a union too right??

Police are just as dumb as you

The National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the largest US law enforcement organization, officially endorsed Donald Trump for President in 2024, citing his strong "law and order" stance and support for law enforcement, a move echoed by the Michigan Police Officers Association. The endorsement followed an internal polling process across its 377,000+ members.

I wonder that too.

Hey, tag me when you think I should chime in. Do you know how to do that? You go @ and type seal and you'll see me and you tag me in the post. Bring me into these conversations.

Do you know how to go back and find these threads? It's easy. Go tag me. Show me.

I'm sure now that Trump has softened his stance on pot, they will too. It's like all of you liked Bush in the 2000's but I can't find hardly any of you who will admit it today.

Oh that, yes, now you know how Palestinians felt when hordes of European Jews were encouraged to settle in Palestine under the British Mandate.

Rubbish. Most of them hid out in the hills, avoiding paying taxes and getting drafted into the Ottoman armies. Jews bought empty lands along the coastal plains.

Towards the end of the 19th century, the creation of the Zionist movement resulted in many Jews immigrating to Palestine. Most land purchases between the late 1880s and the 1930s were located in the coastal plain area, including "Acre to the North and Rehovoth to the South, the Esdraelon (Jezreel) and Jordan Valleys and to the lesser extent in Galilee".These were mostly the less inhabited coasts and valleys, which had high rates of malaria. The migration affected Palestine in many ways, including economically, socially, and politically.

...

The Ottoman Land Code of 1858 "brought about the appropriation by the influential and rich families of Beirut, Damascus, and to a lesser extent Jerusalem and Jaffa and other sub-district capitals, of vast tracts of land in Syria and Palestine and their registration in the name of these families in the land registers". According to Palestinian-American anthropologist Nasser Abufarha, "In 1858 the Ottoman Authority introduced the law of tabu to fix rights of ownership of the land. Land owners were instructed to have their property inscribed in the land register. The tabu was resisted by the fellahin. They saw a threat to their community in registering their land for two main reasons: 1) the cultivated fields were classified as ardh ameriyeh (the land of the Emarit) and were taxed. Owners of registered fertile land were forced to pay tax on it; 2) data from the land register were used by the Turkish Army for the purpose of the draft. Owners of registered lands were often drafted to fight with the Turkish Army in Russia."

Most Arabs avoided paying taxes and being drafted, hence the Ottomans selling lands to Jews and in fact encouraging them to migrate to Palestine, but of course the Wiki articles hopes to down-play that, for propaganda reasons. the Ottomans' own tax records tell a much different story.

Private lands were sold to them by the owners who had been paying taxes on it; the rest were just assorted squatters and drifters and non-citizens.

Check it out

"Free" houses in Italy are available in 2026, primarily in declining rural villages (Sicily, Sardinia, Puglia) to boost population. These properties are usually severely dilapidated, requiring mandatory renovations (often $20k–$50k+) within 1–3 years, along with a €3,000–€10,000 security deposit.

So you sell your home in California, Harry Dresden sold his for $800,000. He can live like a king in Italy.

Yes, add in MAfia extortion payments of 10x that and you're set ....

Was that land for sale though...

The Jews arriving were already well aware that the British intended to create Zionist state, run by Zionists, that is what Arabs were opposed to, an artificially created self governing province that would impose itself on the majority Arabs who happened to find themselves in the eventually designated region.

I've studied more about this period of history than you've watched trump speeches, posting copy/paste diatribe doesn't an argument make.

RElly? Then why lie do blatantly about it? That's more than stupid, it's downright brain dead.
