News & Politics / Re: No! No! No! No, Renew of FISA Section 702

Had to fly out of LAX this morning and TSA had a new wrinkle (at least for me) to add into their prodigious efforts at keeping us all "safe".
Apparently it wasn't enough (to keep us all safe) to simply match a photo ID (DL or Passport) with boarding pass...'Nope, they added in a digital photo-taking - so now, my facial recognition data is just about as official as the non-existent gun/ammo registry that simply isn't being compiled, a work in progress (because that would be in violation of the law, dontcha know).
On the plus side, my plane wasn't blown up mid-air, even though they gave me back my shoes, belt and Chapstick.

It was an incoherent mess. 90 minutes of following the "journalists" around then a 20ish minute of a battle for DC. No idea who is in the right or wrong.

I don't stream.  Yet anyway, cable bill is rising and needs reduced.  Looking into it.

But anyway, I will wait on the $3 cheap seats at the local theater.  Just seems to me to be one of those big screen worthy movies.

And cost is good.

Review below with spoilers.  Has me interested.

It probably was choreographed but to what end? Save face? I think this is going to escalate but I hope not. Israel needs to respond with force or every other pissant country over there and terrorist group is going to be coming after them

Maybe biden needs to be a little more firm the next time he says "DONT"  :faint:

The team at Forward Observer reviewed this movie.  This saves me going there myself then getting arrested for throwing trash at the screen...  F.O. already took a hit for the team, by watching it and posting a review so that we don't have to spend money on a Hollywood product.

I agree with Jackalope's assessment 100%. Gold did open at $2,440 though this morning. It is back down, however, you can see what war & rumors of war can do to the PM markets.

Brent Crude is also just hovering around $90 a barrel.

A nothing burger. Which by the way, is totally fine with me. Let's wait and see.
