Former President Donald Trump can "probably take money" for pardoning January 6, 2021, Capitol rioters due to the Supreme Court's recent presidential immunity ruling, legal analyst Melissa Murray said on MSNBC's The Weekend on Sunday.

On July 1, the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that former presidents have immunity for official acts conducted while in office, but not for unofficial acts.  

Meanwhile, over 1,488 people have been charged for their alleged actions on January 6.

"The moment we win, we will rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner unjustly victimized by the Harris regime and I will sign their pardons on day one," Trump said at a campaign rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, on Saturday.

Melissa Murray, a New York University (NYU) law professor and MSNBC contributor, told the co-hosts of The Weekend on Sunday in an interview appearance that "the Supreme Court has actually made it possible for him to do this."

Survival..

The foreign secretary, David Lammy, announced on Monday that London was suspending 30 of the 350 existing arms licences.

Nose..

 

A recent study has revealed a tenuous but plausible link between picking your nose and increasing the risk of developing dementia.

In cases where picking at your nose damages internal tissues, critical species of bacteria have a clearer path to the brain, which responds to their presence in ways that resemble signs of Alzheimer's disease.

 It was demonstrated that in mice, the bacteria could travel up the olfactory nerve (joining the nasal cavity and the brain). What's more, when there was damage to the nasal epithelium (the thin tissue along the roof of the nasal cavity), nerve infections got worse.

This led to the mouse brains depositing more of the amyloid-beta protein – a protein which is released in response to infections. Plaques (or clumps) of this protein are also found in significant concentrations in people with Alzheimer's disease.

Perversion..

 

A spokesman for the Manhattan US Attorney’s office apologized following the release of a secretly recorded video that captured him slamming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hush money case against Donald Trump as “nonsense” and a “perversion of justice.”

Nicholas Biase, chief public information officer for the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement, “I was recently made aware of a video where I regretfully made some statements in a private and social setting that don’t reflect my views about two local and state prosecutions.” The statement was previously reported by the New York Post .

Biase’s statement came hours after conservative podcaster Steven Crowder released a secretly recorded, edited video of conversations between Biase and an unidentified woman.  Just a thought.

VW..

 

German automaker, one of the world’s biggest car companies, said that it could not rule out plant closures its home country. Other measures to “future-proof” the company include trying to terminate an employment protection agreement with labor unions, which has been in place since 1994.

“The European automotive industry is in a very demanding and serious situation,” said Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume. “The economic environment became even tougher, and new competitors are entering the European market. Germany in particular as a manufacturing location is falling further behind in terms of competitiveness.

STNKY..

 

A senior US Navy enlisted leader was demoted after she was caught running illegal WiFi on a warship used a leadership association's debit card to pay for its monthly bills and named it "STINKY," according to a new report.

Grisel Marrero, who was the command senior chief of the USS Manchester, installed and operated the unauthorized network during a deployment in 2023, lying to her commanders and falsifying records to cover up its presence, according to a Navy charge sheet seen by Business Insider.

A new report from Navy Times , citing documents from a Navy investigation, reveals new information on Marrero's conduct, saying she worked secretly with other enlisted chiefs to install and maintain a $1,000-a-month Starlink network on the Manchester.

Patriot..

 

Ukraine is facing allegations that its first loss of an F-16 may have involved friendly fire with a Patriot missile battery, though its armed forces haven't confirmed those reports.

It's still unclear exactly what caused the crash , which killed the Ukrainian Air Force pilot Oleksiy Mes and was reported by Kyiv on Thursday.

Ukraine said the pilot, a 30-year-old lieutenant colonel, was killed in combat on August 26 and had downed three cruise missiles and one attack drone before his death. Mes was posthumously promoted to the rank of Colonel.

The crash is still being investigated, but The Telegraph reported on Saturday that early findings suggest the aircraft was shot down by a US-provided Patriot missile battery.

Yaste..

 

The commander of a Navy destroyer that’s helping protect the San Diego-based aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Middle East has been relieved of duty about four months after he was seen in a photo firing a rifle with a scope mounted backward.

The image brought the Navy considerable ridicule on social media. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Cameron Yaste, commanding officer of the destroyer USS John McCain, was removed on Friday.

The Navy said Yaste was relieved of duty “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command the guided-missile destroyer” that's currently deployed in the Gulf of Oman. The statement didn't elaborate about why Yaste was replaced.

Destress..

 

High blood pressure is fairly common, impacting nearly 50% of adults in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), though that doesn’t mean it should be taken lightly. 

High blood pressure is often without symptoms but can wreak havoc on your health. Continued high blood pressure puts stress on the arteries, leading to heart damage and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke, per the CDC. Focusing on a heart-healthy eating pattern.

 This healthy eating pattern emphasizes a high intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and healthy fats like nuts, unsaturated oils and fish while limiting fatty meats, processed foods and sugar-sweetened foods.  It’s a good idea to watch your intake of Sodium, increase your daily exercise, and de-stressing may all help as well.
