Sleet (possibly pea-sized hail) from one small thunderstorm cell that just nailed the SBD foothills of Highland and Yucaipa.

About 90% of Migrants Deported to El Salvador Had No US Criminal Record Trump administration officials have described the men deported to El Salvador prisons last month as “the worst of the worst,” suggesting they were gang members involved in murder, rape and kidnapping.

This is not about one man. MOST of the people Trump disappeared have NO criminal record. Yet they had no due process, and have no outside contact.

Merwil—reportedly grabbed by mistake.
Arturo—a musician.
Andry—a makeup artist.
No record, no explanation.

Not a gift call if the referee did not follow the Law of the Game. He made a mistake by not blowing his whistle to restart play. If a caution is issued, a whistle must be blown to restart play. Nothing nefarious, just a mistake by the center referee.

Nothing. They just know the Laws of the Game and made sure the referee crew followed them. When the referee stops to caution a player, the match has to be restarted with a whistle. No whistle when Messi kicked the ball into the empty far side of the goal.

Sadly, it looks like it's going to get worse throughout the day. The NOAA forecast is that the flood will crest at 49.5 ft on Monday morning. After breakfast, I'll download the historical peak annual discharge data for Frankfort to see where this flood plots.

#LadyVols defender gets shoulder barged & it is called a flop, but then the same play goes for a foul for Texas a few minutes later?

And on the rebound as well. Houston is getting quite fortunate.

I guess they're trying to get you up and out quickly. So sorry you can't rest.

The Core is a terribly fun movie. Preposterous, yet sill fun.
