Swarm of supersized dragonflies invade Misquamicut Beach in Rhode Island.

 

Beachgoers were seen ducking for cover while others tried swatting them away as the swarm took over the beach.

 

The insects can travel in swarms of billions, so large that the swarms can show up on radar systems.

 

Experts say the insects swarm like this while breeding in the summer or when smaller insects they eat are thrown in the air by weather disturbances.

Mississippi Law Allowing Ballots To Be Received After Election Day Lawful: Judge

 

A Mississippi law that allows ballots received up to five days after an election to be counted is lawful, a federal judge ruled on July 28.

 

U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. pointed, in part, to the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which governs ballots from citizens residing overseas.

 

“So if one federal statute implicitly allows post-election receipt of overseas ballots mailed by election day, that statute is presumed not to offend against the election-day statutes, from which one may infer that the similar Mississippi statute on post-election receipt is likewise inoffensive,” the judge wrote in a 24-page ruling.

 

The ruling dismissed cases brought against Mississippi officials by the Republican National Committee, the Mississippi Republican Party, and the Libertarian Party of Mississippi.

 

The Mississippi law requires officials to count absentee ballots postmarked on or before Election Day, provided that the ballots are received no more than five business days after the election.

 

The U.S. Constitution’s elections and electors clause gives Congress the power to set Election Day for determining electors for president and vice president, as well as the date for voters choosing members of Congress. Congress later established a single day for the selection of electors and voting for members of Congress.

 

The Mississippi law “contravenes those federal laws” because it “effectively extends Mississippi’s federal election past the Election Day established by Congress,” Republicans said in their complaint.

 

They argued that the law was forcing them to spend money to educate voters on the post-Election Day receipt deadline and urged the court to declare the law illegal and block its enforcement.

 

Mississippi officials said the law does not directly conflict with federal statutes because those statutes do not address whether ballots must be received on or by Election Day.

 

Although Republicans and the Libertarian Party did establish standing, Judge Guirola found that they did not show that the law is illegal or unconstitutional.

 

He cited previous rulings from courts, including a 2023 district court ruling that upheld an Illinois law that lets ballots postmarked on or before Election Day be counted if received up to 14 days after Election Day.

 

In that ruling, the judge referenced the UOCAVA and noted that the attorney general of the United States “often seeks court-ordered extensions of ballot receipt deadlines to ensure that military voters are not disenfranchised.”

 

“These longstanding efforts by Congress and the executive branch to ensure that ballots cast by Americans living overseas are counted, so long as they are cast by Election Day, strongly suggest that statutes like the one at issue here are compatible with the Elections Clause,” Judge Guirola said.

 

“In the absence of federal law regulating absentee mail-in ballot procedures, states retain the authority and the constitutional charge to establish their lawful time, place, and manner boundaries.”

 

Since the Mississippi law is legal, there are no violations of plaintiffs’ constitutional rights, the judge said.

@DrEricDing

you’re flat out lying and fear mongering in this video. You just made up the 50% fatality number and didn’t explain it. You dont even know if pasteurization kills the bird flu virus. People are not contracting fatal bird flu from consuming raw milk.

Blackstone is liquidating properties in Florida. “For sale signs are everywhere”.

 

Blackstone is beginning to sell their housing portfolio in Florida, particularly here in St. Petersburg where the inventory of homes for sale has spiked in the last year.

 

This house behind me in this video is behind sold by a Blackstone-owned company called Home Partners of America. They bought it in August 2022 for $380,000 and now they have it listed for $370,000 – at a $10,000 loss.

 

Other Wall Street investors are also now selling homes on the US Housing Market, including First Key, Progress Residential, and AmericanHomes4Rent. The reason these investors are selling is because the local rental market is softening and because inventory is exploding.

‘Bordering on anarchy’: IDF chief sounds alarm after right-wing mob overruns 2nd base

 

After protesters removed from Sde Teiman facility, activists, some armed, spark fresh unrest at Beit Lid base where soldiers suspected of abusing Gazan taken for questioning

 

Far-right activists on Monday evening broke into a military base where soldiers detained on suspicion of abusing a Palestinian detainee were taken for questioning, hours after a separate base was stormed by a right-wing mob fuming over the arrests.

 

The anarchic scenes of mass break-ins Monday, fomented by several members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling coalition, some of whom took part in the forcible entries, sparked angry condemnation from IDF chief Herzi Halevi, who said they harmed the army, Israel’s security and the war effort.

 

Netanyahu, Halevi, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and President Isaac Herzog all harshly criticized the rioting outside Sde Teiman base and appealed for calm, but their words did little to prevent a mob outside the IDF’s Beit Lid base in central Israel from carrying out a similar break-in.

 

The protests were sparked by the arrests earlier in the day of nine Israel Defense Forces soldiers suspected of the serious abuse of a Palestinian terror detainee at the Sde Teiman military facility in southern Israel, causing an outcry among far-right politicians.

 

Right-wing lawmakers including National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu and Religious Zionism MK Zvi Sukkot whipped their supporters into an angry frenzy, calling on them to show up outside Sde Teiman to protest the soldiers’ detention.

Some protesters at Beit Lid wore IDF uniforms, masks and carried guns; MK Gottliv spoke alongside them

 

Some of the far-right protesters who gathered at the Beit Lid base wore IDF uniforms and face masks and carried weapons.

 

Likud Knesset member Tally Gotliv was pictured alongside them, addressing the crowd.

 

Gotliv had earlier posted on X that the soldiers arrested for alleged abuse of a terror suspect at the Sde Teiman detention center were being questioned at Beit Lid.

 

She encouraged her followers to come to the base on their behalf. “Come in your multitudes,” she urged.
