[ad_1] From Gouldy v. Chiasson, decided Wednesday by the Florida Court of Appeal (Judge Robert Gross, joined by Judges Melanie May and Spencer Levine): This appeal arises from a frivolous underlying lawsuit Gouldy brought against Chiasson, an attorney, in connection with Chiasson’s actions in representing appellees Amanda Munyan and Michael Peak in a related probate matter involving Gouldy. We affirm the appeal in all respects and issue a separate order to show cause as to why Gouldy should not be barred from further pro se filings in this court. Gouldy’s excessively long pro se brief contains frivolous arguments, misrepresentations of…

[ad_1] Arnie Saiki, Decolonize Accounting. There has been an abundance of information around China’s oil strategy of recent, some of it sensible, most of it unremarkably a part of the western led China-bashing package, and as a whole, the glut of analysis has all been quite confusing. That confusion should not be surprising considering our political climate. China is responding to an international economic system experiencing the United State’s own existential instability. Washington has increasingly treated tariffs, sanctions, financial restrictions, and executive orders as instruments of economic statecraft. Markets move according to abrupt policy reversals that seem to often reflect…

About an hour before going on stage Hendrix, Noel Redding, and Mitch Mitchell hastily rehearsed “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band.”…

[ad_1] The implosion of scandal-ridden U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner’s campaign in Maine and the sudden passing of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham in South Carolina give a fresh pack of candidates a chance to make history. With Maine’s Democratic Party having until July 27 to name a new nominee, and a fast-tracked special Republican primary in South Carolina set for August 11, who stands to gain from an unexpected and condensed primary season? From a candidate standpoint, those who recently campaigned or have been appointed, have national endorsements, and a clear partisan flair are most likely to emerge victorious. Throughout…

[ad_1] From Davis v. Surefire Hospitality Group, LP, decided Wednesday by Judge Marilyn Horan (W.D. Pa.): Plaintiff has identified herself as Kimberly Davis in all filings in this case, while Defendant argues that Plaintiff’s legal name is Matthew Grinage.

The parties do not dispute that Plaintiff has not yet completed a formal legal name change process. In her brief, Plaintiff argues generic allegations that the…

[ad_1] The BIP 110 proposal would cap arbitrary data on Bitcoin for a year, but Michael Saylor, Adam Back and others say turning a spam dispute into a consensus fight could create a bigger risk than the spam itself. An infamous proposal to purge non-financial data from the Bitcoin blockchain is heading toward a hard deadline in early August, and the initial support it has gathered from miners is less than 1% so far — a signal of outsized opposition despite the immense social chatter around the topic. BIP-110, formally titled the Reduced Data Temporary Soft Fork, is basically a…

[ad_1] The Trump administration is laying the groundwork for blacklisting and criminalizing all left-wing, progressive, anti-war and anti-imperialist dissent. Your Death is My Command by Mr. Fish. By Chris HedgesScheerPost The State Department’s 100-page report on Cuba’s “campaign of subversion against the United States,” along with Donald Trump’s assertion that “Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure,” lays the groundwork for dictatorship. Elections will be sabotaged in the name of “national security.” Left-wing dissent will be criminalized in the name of “combating terrorism.” Democracy will be snuffed out in the name of protecting “freedom.” Trump, who…

[ad_1] Image Source: SALlM BlN YOUSUF – CC BY 4.0 On 20 July, thousands of young people attempted to march from Jantar Mantar to Parliament. They carried placards, shouted slogans, and demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over repeated examination irregularities, paper leaks, cancelled tests, and the government’s refusal to accept responsibility for the devastation inflicted upon students. The Delhi Police answered them with barricades, batons, and tear gas. Some protesters were detained, while others reorganised themselves into smaller groups and continued towards Parliament. The movement had crossed an important threshold: what began as satire on social…
