Tip 1: Not having a device like the one shown here will help protect you against identity theft. Smartphones are to data breaches as holes in your roof are to water leaks.

Tip 2: Keep your credit score poor. They want to steal your identity mainly to run up a bill on a fake account.

US Supreme Court spurns Native American challenge to Rio Tinto's Arizona copper project The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Tuesday to hear a Native American group's bid based on religious rights to block Rio Tinto and BHP from gaining control of Arizona land needed to build one of the world's largest copper mines - a project situated on land long used for Apache sacred rituals.

“Conservative Justice Samuel Alito did not participate in the decision. While the court did not give a reason, Alito's 2023 financial disclosure report stated he held investments in BHP.”

The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied. JUSTICE ALITO took no part in the consideration or decision of this petition. JUSTICE GORSUCH, with whom JUSTICE THOMAS joins, dissenting from the denial of certiorari. For centuries, Western Apaches have worshipped at Chí’chil Biłdagoteel, or Oak Flat. They consider the site a sacred and “direct corridor to the Creator.” Pet. for Cert. 8. It is a place where tribal members conduct “religious ceremonies that cannot take place elsewhere.” Ibid. Recognizing Oak Flat’s significance, the government has long protected both the land and the Apaches’ access to it. No more. Now, the government and a mining conglomerate want to turn Oak Flat into a massive hole in the ground. To extract copper lying beneath the land, they plan to blast tunnels that will result in a crater perhaps 1,000 feet deep and nearly two miles wide. 101 F. 4th 1036, 1131 (CA9 2024) (en banc) (Murguia, C. J., dissenting). “It is undisputed” that the government’s plan will permanently “destroy the Apaches’ historical place of worship, preventing them from ever again engaging in religious exercise” at Oak Flat. Id., at 1129.

The Supreme Court refuses to consider whether the Religious Freedom Restoration Act bars the government from destroying a sacred Western Apache site by turning it into a copper mine. Gorsuch, joined by Thomas, has an incandescently angry dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

I'm not bipolar, but I live on a bipolar planet.

I heard there's a new drug that reverses bipolar. It's called Ralopib.

I bet she was great cheerleader at Central Catholic High School, though.

Mari and Ari feel exonerated, redeemed, valued, welcome, etc., and we wanted to thank you for your support by sharing this with you.

I'll look for it on X. Thanks for the heads-up.

Hasta luego, Maricarmen.
