A TSA supervisor cleared grandfather Kermit Warren to fly with $28,000 in his bag. Then the DEA ROBBED him of every dollar. His crime? Nothing. The government calls it “civil forfeiture.” Everyone else calls it theft. Kermit Warren flew to Ohio to buy a truck so he and his son could haul scrap metal for a living after losing their jobs during COVID. The truck was too big for what they needed, so they headed home with the cash. At the airport, he told TSA exactly what was in his bag. A supervisor said he could travel with it and waved him through security. Then the DEA showed up. Warren tried to show the agents the truck he’d flown in to buy. He offered to call the seller. They weren’t interested. “We think y’all are up here doing something illegal.” That’s it. That’s the evidence. A man’s life savings, gone on a hunch — and they wouldn’t even let him make a phone call to prove them wrong. WARREN: “When they seized my life savings, every penny that I’ve worked for, every honest dollar that I earned over the last 25–30 years, it made me feel like I was the dirt on the ground.” CONTEXT: Fortunately, the government didn’t get away with this one. After roughly a year without his savings, federal prosecutors agreed to return all $28,180 to Kermit Warren and dismissed the case.

Analysis 1💡: Sanji told Killingham, "Your head is too high!😡" Interestingly, 20 years ago, Zoro said the same thing in Japanese version to Kaku. Kaku had a giraffe Devil Fruit, while Killingham's is based on the mythical kirin/Qilin. Both are called "kirin" in Japanese. Amazing connection after two decades!😆 In Japanese, "Your head is too high" is an expression used to put arrogant people in their place. Notice how Zoro jumped onto the upper part of a Sommers ship, while Sanji jumped onto the top of a building, literally standing above Celestial Dragons Sommers and Killingham.💚 Celestial Dragons believe they're gods who stand above ordinary humans. But Oda has *physically* reversed that hierarchy. Those who look down on humanity are now being looked down upon by Zoro and Sanji in both literal and figurative meanings.🔥 And there's another great contrast. Killingham, as a Celestial Dragon, thinks too highly of himself, while Sanji has always valued his own life too little.💔 What's unusual is how Killingham keeps calling Sanji by his name. I can't recall another enemy repeating Sanji's name so insistently since Gin back in Baratie arc. Why does Oda emphasize his name so much??🤔 Killingham's powers brought back Ivankov, reminding Sanji to "love yourself." Perhaps this is all connected. By repeatedly hearing his own name and confronting his past, Sanji may be learning to recognize his own worth.🙏 Killingham may be playing a much deeper role in Sanji's character development than we realize. It is amazing how Oda turns abstract ideas like social hierarchy and self-worth into physical positions and actions during fights. Even the height at which characters stand can tell a story.😍

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting in Virginia after police showed up at a mother’s home at 2 A.M. and TOWED HER CAR over a SH00TING she had NOTHING to do with... ...because a FLOCK CAM pointed them to the WRONG CAR!!! Now her car is a TOTAL LOSS and she MIGHT LOSE HER JOB!!!! Yes, you read that right, a Flock camera got it wrong, the cops took her car ANYWAY, and she’s the one paying for it. Her name is Rosalyn Crump, she’s a mom raising 3 boys in Richmond VA On July 29th, just before 2 in the morning, Richmond police officers showed up outside her home on Sussex Street. She was ASLEEP, but someone woke her up and told her police were outside and her car was being towed. Police say the Flock system had linked her 2012 Hyundai Elantra to a sh00ting near Gilpin Court and body camera footage shows the officers shining flashlights through her windows. At one point, one of them seemed to doubt they even had the right car. They noticed her KIDS’ CAR SEATS were buckled in the back, but they towed it anyway. Rosalyn came outside and told them flat out: “Y’all got the wrong car.” She told them she’d been at her mom’s house all day, came home at 4, and waited for her kids to get off the bus at 5. Nobody had driven her car. An officer decided her story didn’t match the Flock data and said on camera that she was, “definitely not telling the truth.” Minutes later, Seibert’s Towing hauled her car away. If you think that was insane... well, IT GETS WORSE. About FOUR DAYS later, she finally got a phone call. Her car had been released FOUR HOURS after they took it... because police had already found the person they were actually looking for. NOBODY FROM THE POLICE TOLD HER!!!!! When she went to get her car back, she found it DAMAGED from the tow. The towing company’s VP admitted fault in writing. Then the claim went to insurance, and the company said it could no longer settle with her directly. Her mechanic’s verdict: TOTAL LOSS. Richmond police now admit Flock cameras led them to the wrong vehicle. Meanwhile, Rosalyn has lost wages, can’t get to work on time, and is paying for a RENTAL CAR out of her own pocket just to get her boys where they need to go. She literally did nothing wrong and was home with her kids. THIS IS INSANE!!!!!!!!

I started reading Weekly Shonen Jump in the 1980s, and to me, these panels of Zoro and Sanji, the two wings of Pirate King, are among the greatest manga panels I've ever seen. Peak artwork, Oda!🔥😍

Apparently, the WNBA still can’t define what a WOMAN is, but they’re absolutely certain they know what a MAN is!

How convenient!

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has declared that I am a man.

Who gave her the authority to decide who I am?

Who gets to define my identity?

And how can the WNBA determine who is a man without explaining what qualifies someone as a woman?

College professor left completely stumped after @KaiSchwemmer started talking in Spanish after the professor said he welcomed mass migration. Schwemmer: Would it be an issue if every city spoke a different language? Professor: No. Schwemmer: "Entonces sería bastante difícil si estuviéramos hablando, entendernos, porque nosotros no podemos entender lo que estamos diciendo y no podemos alcanzar tener respeto mutuo." Brilliant.

💡Important: Ivankov taught Sanji to "love yourself," while Mihawk taught Zoro to "know yourself" in chapter 52. Interestingly, in Japanese version, both describe Sanji and Zoro as living as if they're "in a hurry to die." What amazes me is that Mihawk said this 28 years ago. Oda bringing back such an unusual expression nearly 3 decades later feels deliberate.🔥 In a 2009 interview with Slam Dunk mangaka Takehiko Inoue, Oda himself admitted that he might be living as if he were **in a hurry to die**, too. This makes me wonder if Zoro and Sanji are reflections of Oda himself. Perhaps "Love yourself" and "Know yourself" are messages Oda is sending not only to his readers, but also to himself.🧡🥺

So if all the reports are true, Ilhan Omar lied about her age to make it seem like she naturalized through her father, who apparently she lied about being a citizen in the first place, then used her illegitimate citizenship to marry her brother so that he could inherit her fake naturalization before remarrying and starting a fraudulent winery that sold empty bottles of wine?

This will forever be one of the most goated quotes of all time So many people take for granted the level of all around ability needed to be serialized at the highest levels. With things like Disney today it's become bureaucratic because of the amount of money required. What makes manga(and books) great is the mangaka is god. Almost total unilateral control once you've made it, and you don't need a budget of millions. You are trying to appeal to many people obviously, and you can look to others for advice, but ultimately you put pen to blank paper. And what ends up being created is the story they think is best, that they enjoy creating the most. And within this world the cream naturally rises. These people are monsters
