The study is called, “The Growth, Scope, and Spatial Distribution of People With Felony Records in the United States, 1948–2010.” Springer Nature: The steep rise in U.S. criminal punishment in recent decades has spurred scholarship on the collateral consequences of imprisonment for individuals, families, and communities. Several excellent studies have estimated the number of people who have been incarcerated and the collateral consequences they face, but far less is known about the size and scope of the total U.S. population with felony convictions beyond prison walls, including those who serve their sentences on probation or in jail. This article develops state-level estimates based on demographic life tables and extends

As Xavier Becerra looks to move up the polls in the California Democratic primary for governor, one of the biggest controversies shadowing his record is the scandal involving missing migrant children during his tenure as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The scandal reportedly stemmed from the massive surge of immigrants, specifically unaccompanied minor children. (snip) The images of these children put pressure on the Biden administration to do something, so they reportedly began imposing demands on staffers to begin moving kids quickly out of the shelters and to their sponsors meant to protect the kids from human trafficking or other forms of exploitation

An interesting article in Japan Times reinforces several insider trade discussions that have been taking place over the past eighteen months. Essentially, all trade deals with Canada are contingent upon their access to the USA market. Lose the USMCA trade deal, and any trade terms between Asian and Canadian counterparts are null and void. This is not the first time this background from key trade nations has been shared with Canada. Japan told Canada last year that most sector trade, specifically the auto industry, was contingent upon tariff-free access to the U.S. market. If Canada loses the USMCA, the terms of trade change completely.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) has suspended 27,486 borrowers in Ohio linked to approximately $1.1 billion in COVID-19 financial assistance fraud, the agency said in a June 4 statement. The borrowers are alleged to have defrauded the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) initiatives. PPP was a COVID-era program that sought to help businesses retain their workforce during the crisis, while EIDL provided loans and advances to help businesses recover from the economic impacts of the pandemic. While the PPP initiative ended in May 2021, the SBA stopped accepting applications for EIDL as of January 2022.

California Democrats have been using mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting to win local elections for eons. It wasn’t until 2018 that we saw their scheme go national. It was the 2018 midterms, and everyone went to bed believing a slew of Republicans had won their U.S. congressional seats. But when America woke up, they discovered that mail-in ballots had changed everything. Days later, all the “victorious” Republicans were declared losers and sent packing. Now, thanks to the mayor and governor’s race, we’re watching this same scheme unfold in real time.

LA Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt has dropped to third place and will not make the runoff. Leftist city council member Nithya Raman, who previously conceded defeat, has now leaped into second place after winning approximately 40% of all mail-in ballots received in the past few days. A stunning, remarkable, incredible and some say unbelievable outcome. There are still several days of ballot counting ahead. After all, the creation of ballots takes time and resources, and as noted by several people in/around the LA area, locally sourced, artisanal ballots can take much longer to be grown and curated. (snip). Remarkable.

TERRA CEIA, Fla.—Lifelong citrus farmer Sidney Tillett cut a path through a grove that has endured in his family for four generations, stopping his SUV between two rows of trees. On one side was a long plot of lush green saplings, covered with protective mesh bags tied to stakes in the ground. Directly on the other side, a row of petite orange trees with withering leaves were all battling a bacterial infection, caused by an invasive insect that has decimated the state’s orange industry in just two decades. “It’s a story of survival,”

Imagine putting your taxes in the mail a full week before the April 15 deadline, only to be fined by the Internal Revenue Service for a late filing. (snip)Like the IRS analogy above, they contend that by “election,” Congress did not merely mean the act of casting a ballot. They argued before the Supreme Court in March that “election” “plainly refer[s] to the combined action of voters and officials meant to make a final selection of an officeholder.”

California ballot counting will continue until the key republicans in each race are pushed into 3rd place. That’s when ballot counting will conclude. (snip) This X message from the First Asst U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of California is a case study in pretending not to know things.(graphic)(snip) Eric Holder was hired by California govt to advise on the election changes created by linking DMV database to Secretary of State database. The tech team that wrote the code to link the DMV and SOS were given specific instructions. The affirmative flag, the checkbox in the DMV system that says the applicant is legally eligible to vote, was neutralized.
