I am no longer commenting on the Ukraine crisis because I cannot tell what is real and what is not and I don’t want to draw conclusions if I don’t have the facts.

That and what I personally believe about Ukraine is immaterial to the outcome. I would rather focus on domestic issues and the midterm elections where I can make an impact.

I pray for the people of that region. Strange and dangerous times.

NRA Cannot Be Dissolved by New York Attorney General, Judge Rules

Wednesday, 02 March 2022 03:48 PM

A judge said New York’s attorney general cannot dissolve the National Rifle Association (NRA) for alleged corruption and mismanagement, but can still seek the ouster of the gun rights group’s longtime Chief Executive Wayne LaPierre.

Justice Joel Cohen of a New York state court in Manhattan said Attorney General Letitia James’ accusations mainly concern private harm to the NRA, its members and donors, not financial mismanagement or an inability to serve its members.

He said James’ claims could be addressed without shutting down the NRA, which is incorporated in New York, and without potentially infringing its members’ free speech rights.

“The complaint does not allege the type of public harm that is the legal linchpin for imposing the ‘corporate death penalty,” Cohen wrote.”
