NEVADA LEGISLATION WOULD ALLOW TECH COMPANIES TO FORM SEPARATE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

SUPREME COURT WILL DECIDE WHETHER POLICE CAN ENTER A HOME TO SEIZE GUNS WITHOUT A WARRANT
Unlike the “exigent circumstances” and “emergency aid” exceptions, the community caretaking exception is not limited to circumstances where there is no time to apply for a warrant. And the question of what sort of caretaking falls under this exception is extremely vague. Will the police be able to use it to, for example, conduct warrantless searches of political protesters’ homes to make sure they aren’t planning on violent behavior at their next political rally?
The 4th Amendment is supposed to protect the home above all other places. And whatever one’s views on gun control may be, the Supreme Court has clearly held that the right to keep handguns in the home is at the core of the 2nd Amendment. [ Article ]

Despite all of that, Omar’s husband's firm was somehow ALSO awarded over HALF-A-MILLION DOLLARS in bailout cash via the Payroll Protection Program, while thousands of businesses received nothing. [ Article ]

The FBI are asking for help in identifying possible victims in a child sextortion investigation involving this man from Port Chester, New York.

World food prices rose in January for the eighth consecutive month, led by cereals, vegetable oils and sugar, according to a report by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
The FAO said that its food price index marked a 4.3 percent increase from December, reaching its highest level since July 2014. The index tracks monthly changes in the international prices of commonly traded food commodities.
The cereal price index showed a sharp 7.1 percent monthly increase led by a global surge in the price of maize, the crop North Americans call corn.
Maize prices spiked 11.2 percent and are now 42.3 percent above their January 2020 level, “reflecting increasingly tight global supply amid substantial purchases by China and lower-than-expected production and stock estimates in the United States of America as well as a temporary suspension of maize export registrations in Argentina.” (More)
