One would thing the Left would analyze his negotiation strategies. Or read his book Art of the Deal.
Those expectations would be crushed by reality. The Left, including media, are unlearned and uneducable.

There's a new comedy on Fox about a big city doctor who faints at the sight of blood so relocates to a small town, Doctor Best. I thought it might be funny but no. He's an asshole brilliant doctor (and we haven't seen enough of those!) who first meets an outgoing (read asshole) AWFL Karen who, no doubt, will be his love interest, an interracial gay couple, another interracial hetero couple, the wife being adventurously adulterous, and a screwball secretary.

The preface, Dickens talks about meeting a farmer in Yorkshire while doing research, and he says: [my comments]
“Weel, Misther, we’ve been vara pleasant toogather, and ar’ll spak’ my moind tiv’ee. Dinnot let the weedur [widow] send her lattle boy to yan o’ our school-measthers, while there’s a harse to hoold in a’ Lunnun, or a gootther to lie asleep in. Ar wouldn’t mak’ ill words amang my neeburs, and ar speak tiv’ee quiet loike. But I’m dom’d if ar can gang to bed and not tellee, for weedur’s sak’, to keep the lattle boy from a’ sike scoondrels while there’s a harse to hoold in a’ Lunnun, or a gootther to lie asleep in!
[that last bit is "while there's a horse to hold in London, or a gutter to lie asleep in.] [holding a horse was way for street kids to earn a shilling for food.]

Doc Martin was amusing because at least it was filmed in Cornwall, and there were a lot of humorous local characters that played off him.

"Apple is not relocating its headquarters from Cupertino, California, to Texas.Apple's headquarters remains in Cupertino, as confirmed by official announcements and its ongoing operations there. Recent news from Apple's own press releases (e.g., in 2025) lists announcements as coming from Cupertino, California, and describes expansions elsewhere without any mention of moving the core HQ.
Apple has significantly expanded in Texas, particularly in Austin (where it has a major campus with over 13,000 employees as of recent updates, including ongoing construction and a second campus) and Houston (a new 250,000-square-foot advanced manufacturing facility for AI servers set to open in 2026 as part of a massive $500–600 billion U.S. investment commitment)."

High number of new trolls hitting. I saw this shit all the time when I worked on zoning issues, memaw and papaw want to sell out of Meglamart for handfuls of cash but have to get their property rezoned from residential to commercial for the sale to go through. In most cases, it would dump on their former neighbors in light, noise, and car exhaust for a stop n go or worse.
People have a right to sell property but that does not mean that they have the legal or moral right to get whatever price they want from their property nor force changes in existing law to do it. Never has been true generally and why zoning got instituted at the beginning of the 20th century.
Basically zoning codified centuries of common law that you cannot use your property to the extent that it damages your neighbors.
Our Constitution was founded on negative rights to be left alone but once one engages in commerce, then it can and has been regulated since colonial times for the common benefit.

I played 12 years of football and even more years of baseball, and I have three prominent scars that ALL came while pole vaulting during my 8th grade year.
Two ripped open wounds in my legs from the sharp track cleats during a jump (one ascending, one descending), and one busted open my chin from coming down hard on the metal crossbar after clearing it my a couple of feet. There were a couple of times I came down from 10-11' without hitting the cushioned pit -- once on the cement upon which a standard was sitting.
Back in the days when we didn't even slap a hot iron on the bleeding ... let alone clean the wound or get stitches.

Riparian damage from construction, destruction of border trees, escaping cows, illegal hunting or fishing, the list goes on. So yes, if you ever read old court cases, much of it was about property including border disputes.
And in cities, they did such things as tight regulations to prevent fires, quarantines locking you in your own house during epidemics, etc.
The only reason that the frontier did not have as much was not due to existing laws but lack of people to actually enforce them. Still true today, assholes in the country dump trash on neighbor's land, burn tires, let their livestock run loose from shoddy fencing, and so on.
They even conscripted men to work on public roads, sewers, etc. as a public duty as well as requiring service in militias, etc.
Libertarianism is largely a mythic view of the past that any sober student of history knows is skewed history of the past.

It just could not enforce such during the war. Same thing for its presidency. State's rights was largely like it is today for places like MN, an excuse to ignore federal law contrary to what it wants. Aided by one of the worst decisions that Scotus ever issued in Dred Scott, appalling morally, legally, and politically.

The only caveat I would make is take care if there are Finnish troops. To my knowledge the only NATO country that has mandatory military service. They know how to fight in a cold environment.

It's amusing that a lot of people get super twisted about dudes occasionally getting TBIs in high school football or soccer, to the point where they're trying to ban the sports outright, but chicks ruining their legs and backs to where they're getting major surgeries in their early 20s to hopelessly try to cobble their shit back together for them isn't even noteworthy.

About 20 years ago a buddy and I were duck hunting on a very frozen river. A herd of deer ran across the ice upstream and one fell and broke his hip bone.
Nothing left to do but put him to sleep and load him in the canoe.

My dissertation was on another area of law altogether, criminal law actually.
A history of one of the original colony's Bill of Rights. To do it right, had to spend about three years researching old law from ancient England back to the Magna Carta and before, canon law, Judaic law (reading the Babylonian Talmud slowly), and colonial law from about 2016-2020. Then Covid hit and my health went to shit and was trying to keep teaching despite mounting physical problems. Couldn't fit in the research among doctor visits and teaching.
After my back surgery coming up, I am going to revisit my work and try to push through and finish. Lots of footnotes along the way. I would actually teach ancient laws now and again upon demand dating back to the origins of canon law, Mosaic law, and items like the Code of Hammurabi. I also used to teach Comparative law which is simply Roman law cubed and squared in most of the Western World that does not speak English.
Chinese and Islamic law I know slightly as an outsider not speaking Chinese or Arabic.

The Jerusalem Talmud is interesting as it focuses more on agrarian issues but the Babylonian is the mainstream of talmudic thought. Mosaic law in the Bible has to be filtered through the lived experiences and rise of rabbinical Judaism in the absence of a central priesthood. Fascinating stuff and you can see where the Judaic influence mingled with Roman law to create canon law which then begat civil law for most of Europe.
I can literally lose myself for hours reading and cross checking references in such matters.
Islamic law is like trying to nail jello to the wall depending on which of the four major schools you favor. I 've read some Ottoman law, primarily on the treatment of minorities and some current Islamic treatises but you really have to speak the language to know much about what is going on there. Ditto in spades for China where you have communism overlaid over older Confucianism and Empire law.

So I am taking a break from the law and reading Pope Benedict's three books on Jesus and his life. Benedict was probably the most theological of all the recent popes and very sound compared to his successor. Very readable but reading the new Testament provisions to understand Jesus in multiple levels can limit me to about one or two chapters per night. It will open your eyes before it puts you to sleep. LOL.

I found the more I read and try to understand, the more ignorant I feel. My discipline since Covid and lack of concentration since my physical problems worsened has caused a bit of withdrawal from active research for the moment and more to just absorb the background behind what I am trying to explain.
By more fully understanding the roots of something like two witnesses std (Mosaic law) which then was adopted as a standard for treason by the US, the distinction of twelve jurors relating back to the twelve tribes, and so on. I found myself going back and forth to the black letter law in the Bible but then the understandings by the rabbis in the Talmuds or even the Essenes in the Dead Sea Scrolls that can explain how these came about.

So my covid years, not productive in a traditional research sense, have been so in deepening my understand of ancient law and how it relates to my particular beginnings in English Common law and the Magna Carta which was then affected by the Glorious Revolution and the colonial experiences to cause a particular old state to determine which rights were important to protect and why in its Bill of Rights.

@NYCPDDEA
Last week, two NYPD Detectives were mistreated while seeking medical attention at NYU Langone – Cobble Hill Emergency Room after being injured on duty during the arrest of a violent perpetrator. Upon arrival, they were met with rudeness, disrespect, and a lack of basic professional courtesy by hospital administrators.
It is an outrage that any NYPD Detective injured in the line of duty should have to worry about being treated at any hospital in the city they protect. As nurses across the city strike over issues like workplace safety, treating Detectives poorly is not how to make hospitals safer.
No one—especially Detectives injured in the line of duty—should face such treatment. The DEA is investigating this matter and will pursue all available remedies to ensure our members are treated with the dignity and respect they have earned.

It says ICE agents are allowed to forcibly enter a person’s home using an administrative warrant if a judge has issued a “final order of removal.” Administrative warrants permit officers and agents to make arrests and are different from judicial warrants, which judges or magistrates sign allowing entry into homes.
Lyons notes in the document that detaining people “in their residences” based solely on administrative warrants is a change from past procedures.
“Although the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone to arrest aliens subject to final orders of removal in their place of residence, the DHS Office of General Counsel has recently determined that the U.S. Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the immigration regulations do not prohibit relying on administrative warrants for this purpose,” the memo reads.
The memo says agents may “arrest and detain aliens” in their places of residence who are subject to final orders of removal issued by immigration judges, the Board of Immigration Appeals, or U.S. district or magistrate judges.
