LA Times: The Mar-a-Lago search could signal the end of another 'long national nightmare'
https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2022-08-08/donald-trump-mar-a-lago-fbi-warrant-searchWhy now? What explains the thunderous revelation that the FBI — doubtless with the approval of those at the highest levels of the Department of Justice — executed a search warrant on Monday at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence? The apparent focus was documents the former president removed from the White House. A very plausible answer is that a charge related to official documents could swiftly and cleanly serve as the basis for a satisfactory resolution of the pox on the country that is Donald Trump.
A more straightforward, prosaic answer to why the warrant was served is that the Department of Justice has assembled evidence of probable cause that evidence of a crime would be found at Trump's Florida home...
If Trump were convicted of this charge, the plain meaning of the law would permanently take him out of commission as a candidate for president, and all talk of his 2024 candidacy would be dead in the water. Likewise, all the support and polarization that the mere possibility of another Trump presidency raises...
Trump would be duly punished. Were he exiled from office, it would remove at a stroke the most dangerous and polarizing aspect of his continued defiance of the rule of law. To adapt the words of President Ford when he pardoned Nixon, Monday’s Mar-a-Lago search could well be the beginning of a fitting and broadly — if not universally — accepted end to our latest “long national nightmare.”

Need recommendation on a slow cooker
Earlier this afternoon i packed my 7-quart Gourmia crockpot with ingredients to make pho soup. Plugged it in & it crapped out on me.
I 've had this one for almost 4 years, and purchased a manual one on purpose since my previous expensive digital slow cooker only lasted 2 years. I have a 4qt manual original Crock pot brand that is over 20 years old still works but i need a large one for soups, etc. Would love your recommendation on a good one &whether i should go manual or digital. Thanks!

Austonia: Men are stepping up, saying Roe v. Wade ruling was 'the final push' to get a vasectomy
https://austonia.com/austin-vasectomy-roevwadeAccording to vasectomy specialist Dr. Luke Machen of Austin Fertility and Reproductive Medicine, the clinic received over 150 vasectomy appointment requests combined on Friday and Monday following the ruling. Typically, the clinic performs 45-50 vasectomies per month.
The Austin Urology Institute reported that they received about 70 calls in the first hour after the ruling was released. OBYN at Women’s Health Domain reported receiving over 100 requests from women interested in getting their tubes tied.
“I would say a significant number of patients who scheduled recently have mentioned the Supreme Court case,” Machen said. “A lot of guys have said they were thinking about having a vasectomy over the last year or so, and the ruling was the final push to get it done.”
The average patient at Austin Fertility who receives a vasectomy is about 37, though Machen said he has started to see an increased number of patients with zero children choosing to get a vasectomy. While they put together a study, Machen expects demand for the procedure to plateau but stay higher than before the ruling.
Machen said vasectomy is the most effective form of permanent birth control, requires only about a week of recovery time, is reversible with success rates of up to 95% and has no effects on sexual function or testosterone.
Nicholson said the procedure was less than $700, he was never in any pain, had very little recovery time and has never regretted the decision—in fact, he has happily recommended the procedure to friends."
About time!
Question for Nevadans re: Catherine Cortez Masto's senate reelection
Heard Steve Kornacky earlier saying her reelection is in danger. The polls indicate Nevada is currently right-leaning:

What are yall hearing on the ground? I certainly hope with her strong fundraising and being a sitting senator she'll come out strong in November.
Need help on assessment of the VFW
Question for military members of the forum:
My hubby is a navy veteran and recently just joined the VFW since he wants to participate in volunteering activities to help other vets. My concern is we don't quite know the political affiliations of the VFW and would like your input re: whether the organization overall is liberal or RW, and your assessment of their various causes for vets. TIA
Breaking: Finnish Parliament's Defence Committee Recommends NATO Membership
Source: U.S. News
HELSINKI (Reuters) - Joining NATO is the best option for Finland to guarantee its national security, the Finnish Parliament's defence committee said on Tuesday, ahead of Finland's official decision on whether or not to join the Western defence union in the coming days.
Finland's membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) would significantly increase the deterrent for becoming a target of Russia's aggression, the defence committee concluded in a statement.
