Attorney General Merrick Garland Delivers Remarks | OPA | Department of Justice – Trump search warrant
Faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the Justice Department and of our democracy.
Upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly, without fear or favor. Under my watch, that is precisely what the Justice Department is doing.
All Americans are entitled to the evenhanded application of the law, to due process of the law, and to the presumption of innocence.
Much of our work is by necessity conducted out of the public eye. We do that to protect the constitutional rights of all Americans and to protect the integrity of our investigations.
Federal law, longstanding Department rules, and our ethical obligations prevent me from providing further details as to the basis of the search at this time. There are, however, certain points I want you to know.
First, I personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter.
Second, the Department does not take such a decision lightly. Where possible, it is standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to a search, and to narrowly scope any search that is undertaken.
Third, let me address recent unfounded attacks on the professionalism of the FBI and Justice Department agents and prosecutors. I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked.
The men and women of the FBI and the Justice Department are dedicated, patriotic public servants.
Every day, they protect the American people from violent crime, terrorism, and other threats to their safety, while safeguarding our civil rights. They do so at great personal sacrifice and risk to themselves.
I am honored to work alongside them.
This is all I can say right now. More information will be made available in the appropriate way and at the appropriate time.

Compared with salar ponds or hard rock mine pits, a geothermal power plant is relatively small, so direct lithium recovery projects require much less land use. The process avoids both the destruction and waste created by hard rock mining. It has a much smaller effect on groundwater sources than solar pond mining, because brine is re-injected into the ground after its use.
The Search For an AC That Doesn’t Destroy the Planet – Slashdot
Technology to build cleaner, more efficient air conditioners does exist. Two major AC manufacturers, Daikin and Gree Electric Appliances, shared the top award at last year’s Global Cooling Prize, an international competition focused on designing climate-friendly AC tech. Both companies created ACs with higher internal performance that used less environmentally damaging refrigerants; the new units could reduce their impact on the climate by five times. […] Another strategy is to double down on heat pumps, which are air conditioners that also work in reverse, using vapor compression to absorb and move heat into a home, instead of releasing it outside. Heat pumps usually cost several thousand dollars, though the Inflation Reduction Act includes a proposal for a significant heat pump rebate, and President Joe Biden has invoked the Defense Production Act to ramp up production.

Les comparto que, en los escasos momentos libres, al concluir mis actividades profesionales, escribo, a mano, con bolígrafo color sepia, la historia de mis antepasados en sus diferentes ramas. Lo hago en una libreta de pasta dura, totalmente numerada, con la idea de que en sus páginas quede inscrita la epopeya del ayer por parte de mis antecesores. Se trata de información, fechas y datos que he investigado y recopilado desde hace décadas, a partir de mi infancia. Un día -hace poco, realmente-, decidí que era momento de dedicarle mi mejor esfuerzo a ese libro, el cual, a diferencia de mis otras obras, no publicaré, ya que lo compartiré exclusivamente a mi familia más cercana, a mis descendientes; sin embargo, confieso que escribir la historia de mis antepasados, ha resultado un ejercicio muy saludable, espiritual y mentalmente, porque con…

♫ Hold On ♫ (Redux)
I was in the kitchen this afternoon, scrubbing my indoor electric grill that I had used to grill chicken breasts ala Marguerite last night (NOT a fun chore, scrubbing the grill!!!) when I found myself humming, then quietly singing this song. I couldn’t remember the title of the song nor the name of the group (have I mentioned that my memory is not what it once was?), but I remembered that the daughter of one (two) of The Mamas and the Papas was part of the group, so from there it was easy to find the song. And then, I remembered that this is a favourite of my dear friend, David’s … and so the conclusion was fairly simple … redux!!! This one’s for you, David!
In this case, the group has a more interesting history than the actual song itself. The group, Wilson Phillips, is a trio of three…

Armed man showed up at Cincinnati FBI office and started making threats: police – Raw Story – Celebrating 18 Years of Independent Journalism (Me: Hate words have consequences)
Local news station WLWT reports that police say that the man made threats at the FBI office and then promptly drove away, which led to Ohio State Patrol pursuing him.
According to the FBI’s Cincinnati office, the suspect showed up at approximately 9 a.m. and “attempted to breach the Visitor Screening Facility at FBI Cincinnati.”
The pursuit of the man has led to the shut down of I-71 and State Route 73 in both directions, WLWT reports.
Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich reports that police are now in a standoff with the suspect and that “multiple shots” have been fired. Source: Armed man showed up at Cincinnati FBI office and started making threats: police – Raw Story – Celebrating 18 Years of Independent Journalism
