BIG WIN: Judge agrees to appoint ‘special master’ to review Trump-FBI documents

Published

on

Federal judge temporarily blocks the government from using the materials seized from Trump’s home

A big win for former U.S. President Donald Trump on the day that America celebrates the Labor Day holiday.

Federal Judge Aileen Cannon ordered Monday that an independent special master be appointed to review the records taken by the FBI during its raid of former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

The U.S. District Judge from the Southern District of Florida also ordered the Justice Department stop its own review of the material for investigative purposes saying in the ruling that the special master be appointed to “review the seized property, manage assertions of privilege, make recommendations, and evaluate claims for return of property.”

The ruling comes after Trump and his team have maintained that FBI agents seized boxes containing records covered by “attorney-client privilege” and potentially “executive privilege” during the Aug. 8 early morning and unprecedented raid of his private beach estate.

Executive privilege is a president’s ability to shield internal conversations with his aides.

In a major blow to the Department of Justice—Judge Cannon also ordered that Trump could assert attorney-client privilege claims as well as executive privilege in this matter.

Over the weekend, Trump talked about the on-going battle during a rally in battleground state, Pennsylvania, “The FBI and the Justice Department have become vicious monsters controlled by radical left scoundrels, lawyers, and the media who tell them what to do—you people right there—and when do you do it.” [Cheers]

The order directs the involved parties to confirm and return to the court by September 9 with a list of candidates able to serve as the special master along with a draft order defining the master’s exact responsibility.

United Airlines boss addresses recent incidents, assures safety

Published

on

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has moved to reassure passengers following a series of incidents involving the carrier’s aircraft, ranging from engine and structural issues to a wheel falling off during takeoff.

In a letter addressed to United customers, Kirby emphasized the airline’s commitment to safety and pledged to thoroughly investigate each incident.

“Safety is our highest priority and is at the center of everything we do,” Kirby stated in the letter.

“Unfortunately, in the past few weeks, our airline has experienced a number of incidents that are reminders of the importance of safety.”

The incidents, which occurred on both Boeing and Airbus planes, were all unrelated but have raised concerns about safety standards within the airline industry.

Kirby acknowledged the seriousness of the incidents and emphasized that they have prompted United to intensify its focus on safety protocols.

Recent incidents

Among the recent incidents cited by Kirby were a Boeing 777 forced to return to Sydney midflight due to a hydraulic leak, an Airbus A320 making an emergency landing in Los Angeles due to reported hydraulics issues, and a Boeing 737 veering onto the grass after landing at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.

Additionally, a Boeing 777-200 bound for Japan experienced a tire loss shortly after takeoff from San Francisco, and a flight from Houston to Fort Myers, Florida, had to make an emergency landing due to an engine issue, with flames seen spewing from one of the engines in a video captured by a passenger.

In February, a Boeing 757 operated by United diverted to address an issue with the wing slat, prompting concerns from passengers about the integrity of the aircraft.

United Airlines is currently conducting a comprehensive review of each incident to gain insights into what happened and to inform safety training and procedures across all employee groups.

Kirby announced plans to provide pilots with an extra day of in-person training starting in May and to implement a centralized training curriculum for new-hire maintenance technicians. Additionally, the airline is dedicating more resources to supplier network management.

Micro shorts: How short is too short?

Published

on

Confusion and criticism erupted among shoppers in response to the latest offering from fashion brand Free People, as they unveiled their “micro shorts” collection on Instagram earlier this month.

The controversial post, featuring a series of images showcasing the ultra-short denim shorts, sparked a wave of bemusement and disapproval from Instagram users.

“We are wearing micro shorts this season. Link in bio to shop the styles,” read the caption accompanying the post.

However, instead of sparking excitement for the upcoming season, the micro shorts received a barrage of mocking comments, with many expressing bewilderment at the impracticality and extreme tightness of the garments.

Comedian Nicole Aimèe Schreiber quipped, “If you look closely enough, you can see her ovary release an egg,” while fellow comedian Ellen Skrmetti simply stated, “No ma’am…no ma’am.”

Lifestyle blogger Lee Anne Benjamin concurred, stating, “Ya it’s gunna be a no for me dawg,” echoing the sentiments of many who felt the micro shorts were simply too extreme for everyday wear.

Among the chorus of disapproval was Andrea Allen, founder of Deliciously Fit N Healthy, who said, “Who is ‘WE’? We are not. Leave the micro anything for the baby section at target. Bring back adult size clothes!!!”

Similar sentiments were echoed by social media influencer Mandi Lidgard, who humorously remarked, “Nothing like a good ol jean diaper.”

Micro bottoms

The Free People website currently features a range of “micro bottoms” products, including pants, shorts, skirts, and jumpsuits, with sizes ranging from XS to XL and prices spanning from $30 to approximately $400.

Interestingly, the trend of “micro shorts” for men gained traction in 2021, with predictions of their popularity among fitness enthusiasts during the summer months.
