More than a dozen Capitol rioters have pleaded guilty – San Gabriel Valley Tribune

San Antonio loan officer Matthew Mazzocco pleaded guilty Friday to a misdemeanor charge related to the US Capitol insurrection.

A dozen Capitol rioters have already pleaded guilty, out of more than 510 defendants. And prosecutors are filing new cases at a steady clip — including in the past week against members of right-wing groups, QAnon supporters and people who allegedly smashed media equipment.

At least 13 Capitol rioters have pleaded guilty so far, according to CNN’s latest tally.

These guilty pleas have largely fallen into two categories. The first group includes rioters like Mazzocco who aren’t accused of violence and might avoid jailtime by pleading guilty to a single misdemeanor. The other category includes defendants with ties to extremist groups who are pleading guilty to felony charges, could face years in prison, and are now helping prosecutors.

Three Zion Images

I remember Zion well at sunset

Michael Stephen Wills Photography

“Water seeping out of the Navajo sandstone creates tranquil springs and the unique “hanging gardens” for which Zion is famous, full of ferns, wildflowers, and mosses.”

Here are three exposures of the same scene.

Can you spot the foot path?

Here is a gallery of the three photographs, to flip back and forth. the primary difference is the exposure within the shadow under the projecting cliff face.

Do you want a long term relationship?

The behaviour of successful long term partners

We are living in a time where everything in our life is unpredictable. If we look 20 years back, it was much better and most of us were at peace with our lives. On the contrary, today we are living in a time where everything looms over us. Any time we can lose our job, our partner, our travel plans. We cant even plan the education of our children in this pandemic time as lockdowns are imposed because of increased susceptibility to the virus.

However when there is no guarantee for anything at least relationships are expected to stand by in these hard times. People seeking long term relations have failed despite sincere and intense efforts. They have gone through every phase of finding the right partner, and read relationship advice books. Yet they have not…

Who will govern Afghanistan? Democracy or Militancy?

Beyond The Lines

Source – arabnews

The Biden government may be lagging behind its July 4 commitment to vaccinate all adults but it is doing a commendable job at evacuating all its troops way before the September 11 deadline.

Judging by the current pace of evacuation it seems that by July 4 only a handful number of soldiers will be left behind to protect U.S. diplomats in Afghanistan, who may then get struck in the looming Civil War once the evacuation of U.S. and NATO troops is completed in the country of uncertainty.

How much of Afghanistan is governed by the Taliban?

The Taliban has its own set of laws based on the interpretation of Sharia. It has also developed a…

A Poet’s Song

Shayan's Sphere

As poet I may not acquire a name
In the insoluble pages of time,
Nor ever get renown, nor earn acclaim
With the tremendous potency of rhyme.
You may immerse my lines in rancid grime
And put on my serenity all blame,
Or shove in a hollow I can not climb
With my heavy loaded body in shame.
But midst all aches, taunts and leaden dire days,
There’s hope that doth say: art shall be on way!
And words shall sing blithely till my poor death,
Putting their soothing touch in each hot breath.
And though at last I’ll die without my fame,
I’ll be proud I’ve seen inward fair flame.

¿Qué hicimos? ¿Dónde estuvimos? ¿A dónde vamos? Llegó julio, julio de 2021, con su equipaje, y se instaló en el mundo, en nuestras habitaciones, en cada rincón, como inicio del siguiente medio año; pero lo más sorprendente es que, casi sin percatarnos, se fue junio. Sí. Se marchó junio con el primer medio año de 2021, con lo ue logramos y con lo que perdimos, con lo que vivimos y con lo que morimos. Se fue como llegó, sin anuncios, indiferente a la risa y al llanto. Se llevó una parte de nosotros y de nuestras vidas, si acaso somos tan ingenuos y tontos para creer que raptó algu de lo que nos pertenecía, cuando fue indifrente, como los otros meses que se desvanecieron, acaso como invención nuestra para organizar las actividades y los ciclos de la vida, quizá…
