Police in Britain Repeatedly Declined to Investigate Epstein. Why?

Exclusive: The Metropolitan Police interviewed Virginia Giuffre 3 times after her lawyers handed them a dossier of evidence saying that she was trafficked to UK by Epstein and Maxwell, and made her have sex with Prince Andrew

But they did not launch an investigation

When I got home after ECCC I forgot to greet Jiji first thing, so he was rather mad at me.

He's forgiven me for my terrible mistake 😹πŸ₯°

A black-and-white historical group photograph of approximately 40 female United States Marine Corps members (Women Marines or "WM") posed in formal rows on the outdoor steps of a building at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, during the 1950s. The women stand in tightly packed tiers, all wearing identical service uniforms: knee-length wool skirts, tailored single-breasted jackets with notched lapels and breast pockets, white blouses, dark neckties, black oxford shoes, and the distinctive rounded "bell-crown" garrison caps (often called "bucket hats") with small Marine Corps emblems. Most appear to be in their mid-20s, with short to medium hairstyles neatly pinned or tucked under their caps, and they maintain serious, proud expressions while looking directly at the camera. The front row stands on the ground level with hands at their sides; upper rows ascend the wide stone or concrete steps of a brick or wooden building entrance labeled "COLLEGE" or similar signage partially visible above. Bare trees in the background suggest late fall or early spring. The image captures the discipline, camaraderie, and expanding role of women in the post-World War II Marine Corps during the early Cold War era.

The uniform: a skirt, blouse, seamed hose, heels, and cover (a black leather purse, not shown in the photo, was also issued as part of the uniform).

Before she died, Clifford Thomas promised his mother he’d keep his family healthy.

But in Albany, Georgia β€” a poor city with a hospital monopoly and no Medicaid expansion β€” that promise is a daily battle.

The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime America has blood on its hands.

New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime

"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

Just been out for the last dog walk and saw these two rather fine-looking chaps (or chapesses?) on the path. Went back out with the camera, turned on the flash, pointed, and hoped for the best. Came out better than I expected!

This week is spring break, and I’m actually taking time off <gasp!>

There’s an art show focused on birds at my local gallery. Thus the bird-specific class from last weekend.

I might futz with the berries more, but I might submit this one.

A spokesman for the National Capital Planning Commission said it received more than 35,000 public comments on the White House ballroom project, which represents the most feedback the panel has received in years.
