Entering 2021, our hearts are already broken.

That's exactly why we're ready to fight the good fight

 And let me say this WADR in response to understandably heartbroken, frustrated and passionate people suggesting that I'm an easy touch, a RINO, naive, or insufficiently dedicated to conservatism: >
These remarks come up not only in response to my video saying that we must remember and live by the principles we say we're fighting for, but to my tweets saying that Lin Wood has lost touch with reality or that John Roberts is not being blackmailed. >
I've been a conservative activist since I was a teenager. The announcements for conservative events I was running were torn off the walls at Princeton in the 80's. Interviewers at law firms recommended that I not be extended an offer because the Federalist Society was Nazis. >
More recently I left one law firm partnership after being told I could not represent the Gab social media platform after it the representation been approved up and down the org chart and on the eve of filing.

People might say we were Nazis. >
The next law firm promised that would never ever happen with them.

They fired me without severance after I filed this lawsuit working with @Yoder_Esqq, who lost his job over it too. https://t.co/3ZgE6PWQGh >
This November I made myself available to the @TheRepLawyer to assist with election monitoring and litigation, as I had in 2016.

Despite my seniority and experience I was sent to Scranton to watch them segregate invalid mail in ballots. That was the assignment and I did it. >
That night - Election Night - they told me to go home because there was nothing else to do.

Wisely, my partner @pnjaban told me to go to Philadelphia instead, where I stood with @PamBondi and @CLewandowski_ as we tried to get into the Convention Center. https://t.co/QMg2GTXOEs
I took this picture then. That's not me sitting on the floor, it's the unsung hero Jerome Marcus, literally writing the federal lawsuit that ended up getting belated and virtually useless access to the counting later that night.

Everything was done on the fly.>
I was then told to report to the main operations center for the Trump / RNC legal team in an undisclosed location in an outlying area of Philadelphia - after I got someone to disclose it to me, which took an hour. >
There I took calls from people reporting election irregularities and wrote them up, as I did in 2016.

Then I transcribed voice mails into a spreadsheet for a while. >
At some point after dinnertime when Corey came in to give us a pep talk, someone pulled me aside and asked me to speak to a lawyer in a major form in DC to discuss a special project.

This resulted in my being connected ultimately to another team. >
That team was led by @RudyGiuliani. We spoke several times. I worked through the night preparing a set of papers based on our discussions.

I was unable to continue working with the team over the weekend because of personal commitments, but we were in touch over the next days. >
Ultimately @pnjaban and I were asked to get involved in a couple of different levels in the various efforts taking place in the courts on behalf of the campaign and we decided against it.

We both remained very involved in messaging for the Trump team.>
Everything @pnjaban and I did for the reelection of @realDonaldTrump was unpaid. Harmeet donated many many hundreds of hours (but her advice was seldom taken, hence the circus that emerged). Other lawyers in our firm also traveled and donated time. >
What's my point?

Don't lecture me about activism, going to marches or calling out fools and con men on Twitter.

Everyone knows I'm friendly with @BrianTh37895972 and that I quote Thomas Wictor (and he me). But there's a limit to informed and even silly or playful speculation. >
I admit what I don't know and when I'm wrong.

And I will also say when something sounds ridiculous or the rules of proving an assertion have been turned inside out.

I've been a litigator and trial lawyer for 30 years. >
If you can't handle it you don't have to follow me, but if you doubt my loyalty, commitment or analytical ability - much less mouth off via some fake name and a picture of your damn dog -

why, I'm going to be pretty sore about it.

Good Shabbos. <> https://t.co/U0wbs6EzCV

How about a brief refresher on federal bail, since everyone's got opinions on it this week? Yes?

Okay, here we go. In federal criminal cases, bail is governed by the Bail Reform

/2 Under the Bail Reform Act, a defendant MUST BE RELEASED ON BAIL unless the judicial officer (usually a federal magistrate judge) finds that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure (1) them appearing for trial or (2) the safety of the community.

/3 It's the burden of the government -- the federal prosecutor - to PROVE by CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE that the danger element applies, and no conditions can reasonably control it, if the government wants someone detained without bail. Preponderance burden for flight risk.

/4 HOWEVER there are certain statutory categories of crimes where there is a rebuttable presumption that no conditions will prevent flight or danger -- in other words, for those crimes, the burden shifts to the defendant.

/5 The Federal Rules of Evidence don't govern detention hearings and they can and do proceed by "proffer" -- that is, the government saying what they will prove if necessary.

Dear Texas: When your argument is that election procedures were adopted in violation of the Electors clause, the only evidence you need to "marshal" is "what election procedures were adopted and how"

You don't need weeks, a magnifying glass, and Melissa Carone


Also, why is there no other forum? You couldn't have sued in Federal court in Georgia or PA in advance of the election because ...?

Oh, right. No standing. That's still a problem


Also, Texas? I feel like you should take that up with ... Texas


I kind of feel like "look, what you meant by Purcell was let's just wait until after the election and then invalidate ALL the votes" isn't necessarily the *strongest* argument


Also, you don't just get to make up a new principle of constitutional and election law and just call it "a variant of" Purcell (or anything else).

You can tell it's made up by the total absence of any citation to ANY case, ANYWHERE, saying that

As more folks are arrested for the insurrection we are going to see high rate of people with records of intimate partner violence, stalking, and harassment. 1/

Terrorizing women and girls and internet trolling is directly correlated to being violent and unreasonable in other facets. including work, friendships, school, family, AND POLITICS. 2/

As my colleague, Caroline said, "Violence against women and girls on the micro level of interpersonal IS TERRORISM designed to uphold patriarchy/male supremacy on the macro level. 3/

Some insurrectionists have reported histories of being abusers.
Some in the news have histories of abuse. We know Ashli Babbitt, who was shot dead, trying to climb through the window 4/

into the congressional chambers, had multiple restraining orders for attacking her then-boyfriend’s ex, filing false police reports, rear ending her car, and harassing her with phone calls. 5/

Now, the doctrine of devotion we shall expound.
After having developed all the qualifications necessary for the practice of devotion (atha), the student


feels no spiritual satisfaction, and therefore (ataḥ), he must now diligently walk the path of devotion. According to Rāmānuja, the teacher of viśiṣṭādvaita, there are seven qualifications necessary in a seeker who plans to pursue devotion. They are:


(1) Discrimination in food (viveka), (2) Freedom from desire (vimukha), (3) Practice (abhyāsa), (4) Habit of doing good to others (kriyā), (5) Purity in thought, word and deed, non-violence, charity, and such other virtues (kalyāṇa), (6) Cheerfulness (anavasāda), and (7) Absence

1. The major problem most startups face is marketing and the ability to carve out a niche, find and retain paying customers.

Even with a stellar developer team and a stellar product, your startup may not grow or survive without a great marketing and sales teams.

2. Start growing your audience before you’ve a product or an idea.

You should start promoting yourself and building your audience before you have a finished product or even before you have a great idea that you want to build.

3. Don’t wait to start building your audience after you’ve launched a product.

Most first-time developers actually ignore marketing.

They’re oblivious to the challenge of attracting people to take a look at something they’ve created.

4. At least until they see their first project crash and burn within hours of the launch.

There are so many times that I have seen developers spend countless hours building something, releasing it with no fanfare...

5. and only then trying to figure out how to promote it by asking marketing questions on Indie Hackers, Quora or Hacker News. Don’t make that mistake.

AHOBILAM NARASIMHA SWAMY KSHETRAM: KURNOOL (AP)
#andhratemples

Ahobilam is the place where Prabhu appears in his fierce form, called Ugra Narasimha, who is Svayambhu (self-manifest).
Ahobilam is one of the 108 Divya Desams. It has 9 shrines for different forms of Narsimha.


Ahobilam was the exact place where Sri Narasimha appeared and tore apart Hiranyakashipu to save Prahlad. At that moment, all the Devas appeared and praised him as Ahobala (Aho is mighty and bala is strength). So the place came to be called Ahobilam.


Out of the 9 shrines, most famous is the Ahobila Narasimha Swamy where Prabhu is seen as Ugra Narasimha.
In another shrine, Prabhu appears as Malola Narasimha Swamy. Malola means beloved of Lakshmi. Here Prabhu is in peaceful mudra with his consort Ma ChenchuLakshmi.


Jwala Narasimha Swamy shrine is the actual spot where the fierce anger of Prabhu reached its culmination when he tore Hiranyakasipu.

Ugra Stambham is the pillar from which Narasimha appeared with such force that the entire hill split into two.

I have to make a note before writing about this episode. I was the person (still am) who thinks that bringing back D. was a bad idea. I repeat it that for me the writing of S1 and S2 is like tossed into the bin with that plot evolution, but they had to invent something+

+ to be able to continue to prolong the general story after Aslan’s story did not work out. All the suffering of M., all the crying seems for “nothing” for two seasons and we viewers are also kind of fed up in seeing him cry all the time when with the upcoming episodes+

+he is justified the most to cry. With her resurrection now the attention shifts back to Miran’s storyline and I don’t know if I like this to be honest. This said, Dilsha is here and we have to deal with her.

So, my comments are going to be how I find they wrote her into the story, the details we get to know, the flashbacks we get to see, the way it was filmed and directed, with leaving out if I agree on it or not but describing along the way what I saw.
