Seems that he would want her out of state, or should have.Woman who gave server generous $5,000 tip allegedly used her boyfriend's credit card for revenge
... Serina Wolfe, 24, allegedly used her boyfriend's credit card without his knowledge after he would not buy her a plane ticket back home to Buffalo, N.Y., Fox 2 Now reports.
Smart. Does that constitute implied permission to use the card?While Wolfe's boyfriend had initially put a hold on his credit card, so Wolfe would not be able to use it to buy the ticket, he eventually lifted it.
Bummer. The woman scorned giveth, the credit card company taketh away.Wolfe then allegedly used the card to leave a tip of $5,000 on a bill that cost $55.37, which was reported four days ago by multiple outlets.
It is not known if the server will get to keep the money. The restaurant has already paid out the tip to the server. However, Wolfe's boyfriend marked the charge as fraudulent.
It was previously reported that the server, Ryan, had been going through a tough time, including having to recently put her dog down.

I guess the full 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has some doubts about "likely prevail".Appeals court takes up fresh challenge to Trump abortion 'gag rule'
The full 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday said it would take up a fresh challenge to the Trump administration's overhaul of the federal family planning program just weeks after three of its Republican-appointed judges said the policy change can take effect nationwide while several legal challenges play out.
The appeals court froze the administration's rule revamping the Title X program while it hears the case, according to Brigitte Amiri, deputy director at the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project.
The court's order marks the latest turn in a battle over the administration’s changes to the program, which seek to steer federal dollars away from providers such as Planned Parenthood that offer abortions and abortion referrals. Critics have dubbed the Trump policy a "gag rule."
The order covers several challenges to the rules, but it's unclear whether they will be heard together or separately.
Some major provisions of the overhaul were due to take effect in early May but halted in April by national injunctions ordered by lower federal courts in Oregon and Washington state, as well as a statewide injunction in California, after nearly two dozen states and providers including the American Medical Association and Planned Parenthood sued.
A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit lifted those injunctions on June 20, finding that the administration will likely prevail in the legal battle since the Supreme Court held up similar Reagan-era rules almost 30 years ago....

A 24-year-old Florida mom is accused of killing her boyfriend Saturday night – just 20 minutes after allegedly warning her Facebook followers that a woman should never let a man “put his hands on you,” say police.
Shortly after midnight on Sunday, Ja’Quoia XiaXiana Collins was arrested and charged with second-degree murder for allegedly killing her boyfriend, Quartez McShane, the Escambia police department confirms....
He was stabbed in the chest and was found with a one-and-a-half-inch puncture wound in his sternum, the report says ...

In court Monday, McShane’s mother, Samantha Allen, tearfully asked the judge to set bond for Collins, the Pensacola News Journal reports.
“I know Jaquoia and I would like her to have bond, if you don’t mind,” she told the judge. “I know she’s a good mother. I’m hurting, I’m broken. But I know she has kids and I want her to get her affairs in order, for her kids. She has my grandbaby.”
“And I forgive her. And I love her. I don’t know if she intentionally tried to do it. It’s up to you.”
The judge ordered Collins held without bond, saying there was probable cause to believe she committed the crime, the Pensacola News Journal reports....
Just stumbled on his press conference. I thought he was resigning at first and kicked myself for giving him 6 days. He handled himself pretty well in the bit that I watched.
Here we go:
Ok, I'm in the pool but without a towel. I will give Jim July 31 for his resignation. That way he can get one more full paycheck. I try to place myself in the position of the person I disparage and imagine how they would think about the situation. This is generally very difficult for me to do since I don't share the mindset of those I target. But it's kind of fun.Vrede too wrote: ↑Wed Jul 10, 2019 3:59 pmJust stumbled on his press conference.

He puts a lot of blame on the Florida state's attorney, idk if it's accurate. He also talks about how 'different things were back then' - victims rights, our understanding for victims, transparency, prosecutorial standards and conduct, etc. Ummm, it was 2007, not 1958.
I could only infer the coming reactions from the reporters' questions, but he MIGHT survive. I'll stick with 7/16, though.

Yeah, hardly even got wet.....I posted it on the "fired/quit" thread not knowing you'd already put it here. I like how trump mentioned, twice, that Acosta is Hispanic; as if that has anything to do with why he resigned or is in any way relevant to that. What a moron we have in trump. Opps!
