If you find a stray cat, if you take it to a vet or rescue centre they will give the cat a free scan for a microchip, and they will try to contact the registered owner.

Cats are commonly microchipped as a primary method for identification and recovery.

Also check local lost pet social media groups.

If the cat doesn't have a collar put a paper one on, with your telephone number asking to contact you.

If the cat is not friendly, do not try to touch it. If it looks healthy and has a tipped usually left ear, the cat is likely part of a managed colony.

If no owner is found, contact your local animal shelter, or Cats Protection for assistance with rehoming.

NYS Republicans file federal lawsuit challenging planned switch to even years for local elections

GOP officials are trying to get federal courts to intervene after a similar lawsuit failed in state courts. Just two weeks ago, New York's top court ruled the law constitutional in a 7-0 decision.

The suit argues moving county, town and other elections to even-numbered years is a violation of candidates' free speech rights. The plaintiffs claim the fact that local candidates will be trying to communicate with voters at the same time as statewide and national candidates amounts to an illegal restriction.

The law "imposes a direct and substantial burden on core political speech and association under the First Amendment - not merely by raising costs, but by degrading visibility, distorting content and increasing bias in the act of voting. This burden cannot be justified by generalized appeals to convenience."

Their other primary claim is that the switch will "exacerbate racially polarized voting" and, therefore, violates federal voting rights laws. The Republicans assert: that "minority-preferred candidates... will face reduced visibility and increased racially polarized voting, resulting in minority voters losing the ability to elect candidates of their choosing."

The Democratic-led State Legislature and Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, enacted the law making the switch in 2023. Democrats and good-government groups noted voter turnout is always better in even-numbered years, so the law would boost participation. Also, Democrats in New York have higher turnout in even-numbered years.

Republicans opposed, saying local races and candidates would be overlooked by voters. Also, the GOP historically had seen better turnout numbers than their rivals in odd-numbered years.

Last Sunday, a 40 year old Michigan man named Thomas Jacob Sanford rammed his f*cking pick-truck in a Latter-Day Saints church in Grand Blanc, MI, got out, opened fire, killed four people and set the church on fire:

"In recent weeks, locals said, Sanford began behaving oddly – nearly running over a longtime friend with his truck in a seeming joke, asking a local political candidate questions about his positions on guns and then openly declaring his hatred for the LDS church, even saying that “Mormons are the Antichrist.”

According to people who knew him:

"[...] he “harbored unkind feelings toward certain groups” and “definitely talked about groups of people in ways that weren’t acceptable.”

"[...] you couldn’t miss [his] truck,” Allen said. Sometimes, he said, Sanford would “switch one of his [american] flags out for a ‘F*** Biden’ flag.”

"A Google Street View photo from June 2025 shows a “Trump Vance” campaign sign on his home’s fence, and a social media photo from 2019 showed Sanford wearing a Trump shirt."

He also was a veteran of the Marine Corps who was deployed during the Iraq War. He was an avid hunter and outdoorsman. Or, in other words, a typical libtard.

Unsurprinsingly, MAGA is still busy trying to milk every last drop they can from the assassination of Charlie K-K-Kirk. Sorry, I'm just stuttering here. Trump barely mentionned it and offered his usual "it's wrong but I don't really care and I can't exploit it".

So, will MAGA be declared a terrorist organization? Provided, of course, that you consider the fact that Antifa and the "left" in general has been declared public no. 1 following the murder of one conservative man by a white boy from a conservative family whose motives and allegiances are still unclear.

Will MAGA fill another stadium to mourn for these four victims of political violence?

The Department of Homeland Security is now barring states and volunteer groups that receive government funds from helping undocumented immigrants, according to a Washington Post analysis of updated guidelines and interviews with Federal Emergency Management Agency employees.

Some members of the national volunteer disaster group network also questioned whether the new requirements are constitutional and point out that they seem to violate some local and state laws that prevent asking about a person’s immigration status.

By accepting the federal grants and awards, the new documents state, volunteer organizations that help after disasters must agree to not “operate any program that benefits illegal immigrants or incentivizes illegal immigration.”

That could put groups that provide food, housing, mental health support and other assistance in disaster-stricken states in the position of having to verify aid recipients legal status before providing assistance, experts said.

They are also barred from “harboring, concealing, or shielding from detection illegal aliens;” have to agree to “provide access to detainees, such as when an immigration officer seeks to interview a person who might be a removable alien;” and not leak or publicize an enforcement operation.

Several members raised concerns that federal contracts cannot make nonprofits violate local laws that protect people’s privacy. The bulk of disaster-volunteer groups that work with the federal government are also faith-based organizations, which some groups said could create constitutional concerns.

"First, the federal government has never attempted to tell the nonprofit sector who we can and cannot serve. Further, as a faith-based organization we have the right to determine who we serve.”

WWJD?

This image taken by NPR depicts what liberal folks are calling a “spontaneous diversity pilgrimage." Members of the local woke community were seen walking toward a rainbow in solemn unity, presumably searching for reparations, climate justice, or the last remaining pronouns. Armed with umbrellas and moral superirority, the group paused only to reflect on the systemic oppression of weather itself.
