How fast were you going? Take a guess, officer...
The Ohio Supreme Court decided in 2010 that a cop’s VISUAL determination of speed is all that is needed to support a speeding ticket. The facts show that an officer gave a ticket to the defendant for going 79 mph in a 60 mph zone. He testified that he was trained and tested to guesstimate speed to within 3 or 4 mph back in the Police Training Academy. The case is silent on how often he is re-tested, but indicates that he has made 'hundreds' of visual estimations since then. It doesn’t say if his estimations were measured against radar.
He estimated the defendant’s speed to be 70mph and had a Doppler radar that showed 82. However, at trial the officer failed to produce his 'papers' showing him to be certified in the radar so the conviction was based solely on his testimony and estimate of speed.
The Ohio Supreme Court held that the officer’s visual estimate was sufficient to support the conviction. The reason? He passed the OPOTA training course and was 'experienced' at estimating speed.

Liberal logic? Nah - they just think their voters are morons. Case in point?
Rep. Lauren Underwood is sounding the alarm over the SAVE America Act, claiming it could strip voting rights from 69 million women who have changed their names after marriage. While Democrats are quick to call it voter suppression, the truth is that this bill seeks to secure our elections and prevent fraud by ensuring that voters provide accurate documentation.
Republicans are fighting to protect the integrity of American elections, not punish law-abiding citizens. Liberals/Democrats know full well a well-maintained and verified election will work against them. That's why they're so willing to lie to their constituents. It's their only chance at continuing the cheat.
It was staged. So what? It's still dynamic...
Although a "staged" photograph, this is perhaps Doisneau's most well-known. Francine Deroudille (Doisneau's daughter) explains: "The picture was taken in the spring 1950. My father's agent had pitched a series on 'The lovers of Paris' to American publications and Life magazine had commissioned it"
At the time, image rights were already protected by law and a cautious Robert Doisneau preferred to use people he knew in some of his commissioned reportage, in order to avoid legal issues. One afternoon in March 1950, Doisneau went out into the streets of Paris with young actor friends and just let them be: they walked, held hands, talked, and kissed, with Doisneau never far behind. "His models weren't models in the sense that they didn't pose. Doisneau was simply catching them flirting and kissing, in a very natural way", says Deroudille
The result, a kiss caught at the corner of rue du Renard and rue de Rivoli right across from the city's town hall, feels like the best of Doisneau: a suspended moment whose beauty is known only to the lovers and the photographer. Around them, indifferent Parisians walk, hardly noticing the young couple.
Here it is colorized and color corrected by me. It loses a lot of it's 'character' in doing. Proof positive that sometimes Black and white photography is the defining format. Juss' sayin'...
of the most celebrated exponents of the Photographie humaniste that swept through the 1950s. Cherished in particular for his soulful portraits of Paris, Doisneau demonstrated a unique ability to find – and perfectly frame – charismatic characters, entertaining episodes, and fleeting moments of humor and affection.

Breaking news: Italy's Al Dente takes home gold in the Stuffed Shell Luge...
More importantly, however is the fact that their isn't one single 'sport' they're sporting at that I'd ever have one drop of interest in doing myself. Downhill skiing? Pass. Luge? Double pass. Hockey? Yeah, no thanks. Is there anything else I might be even remotely interested in? Yeah, no. Sorry. Just can't give a fuck about any of it. But that's just me...
Imagine you spend damn near your entire life - more than 50+ years building a catalogue of work that is so expansive - and impressive - that you are lauded by your public and your pears for all you've done in film.
Yeah - all the leftie loon news outfits talked last week

The FCC launched a probe of ABC's The View not granting equal interview time to political candidates, a rule that applies to ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. I hope jokes about The View are exempt. I always found it hilarious that the three angriest women in America are named Whoopi, Sunny and Joy.

Don Lemon went on Jimmy Kimmel to discuss his arrest for his anti-ICE protest in a St. Paul church. It could result in jail time, prison shower action and further TV stardom. Netflix executives saw Don Lemon's mug shot and immediately green-lit a new TV series called Lemon is the New Orange.

Do you remember hearing last week about this video that somebody posted on Tryth Social with the Obama's as monkeys? Yeah, welll there were a bunch more people included in the vid but of course we only heard the 'racist' claim becuase the Ob's were monkeys. Fair enough, and I'll agree it's both juvenile and stupid, it is kinda funny. Some guy reposted it on X, and you'll find it here...

Then, one day, you open your mouth thinking we give a fuck what you think about anything but film, and you destroy whatever legacy you might have created for yourself. Imagine being this jerkoff...

This image shows the colorful town of Qaqortoq (yeah - go ahead and pronounce that one with a Brooklyn accent) in South Greenland during winter. Qaqortoq is the largest town in Southern Greenland, with a population of approximately 3,500 people.
Historically, houses in Greenland were painted different colors to signify their purpose or trade (e.g., red for a church or shop).
The town does not have an airport, so access is limited to helicopters or boats. It is known as a scenic location, often referred to as a "hidden gem" of Greenland.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against a San Diego hospital Friday for complying with President Trump's order to halt gender-affirming care for minors.
I have one question on the matter. If trans-gender children go missing, do we put their pictures on cartons of Half and Half?

The Kid knows about hypocrisy...
My personal favorite. I have one in the kitchen and one in my shop.
What else did they to us about in Grade School?
Who really designed the US flag? While the story goes that Betsy Ross was responsible for assisting George Washington with the finalization of the design, historians believe that it was in fact created by Francis Hopkinson, who also designed the Great Seal. June 14, Flag Day, commemorates when the design for the first flag was approved in the US.
There have been 27 versions of the flag, and for many years the official design was actually not standardized and could vary by flag maker. President William Howard Taft standardized the stars into rows of eight in 1912. The current version of the flag dates to 1960, the year after Hawaii became the 50th state.

Fuck the commercials - show the fights. Jeez...
While this issue has been prevalent throughout the games, it's biggest offense came during Sunday morning's coverage of the men's hockey match between Canada and France.Canada, the heavy favorites for the gold medal, was up 10-2 in a demolition of Les Blues when the streamer suddenly cut to a commercial break in the middle of the action. By the time the broadcast resumed, Canadian enforcer Tom Wilson had discarded his gloves and was being skated to the penalty box.
Fighting in Olympic hockey results in an automatic ejection, which means this may have been the only altercation fans will see in the entire tournament. But, thanks to the error, the only way fans watching on the streaming service knew what happened came from a brief replay of the melee.
The truly sad thing is, a lot of people will buy in to her bullshit...

The Dims don't want you to think about stuff like honest, legitimate elections. If that happens, their whole house of cards would collapse...
