Mr. Mertle, the eccentric recluse in town, needs a band of brave adventurers to help him deal with a problem. Goblins have taken up residence around the crumbling remains of an ancient fighting pit behind his home, and their presence is becoming increasingly disruptive.

As the adventurers arrive, they discover the goblins are not what they seem. Instead of mindless marauders, these goblins are on a quest of their own: to retrieve a cherished artifact that lies hidden somewhere in Mr. Mertle's walled-off gardens without falling victim to the mysterious and dangerous creature that lives there.

How many of them changed their minds when they were told that DJT is, in fact, over the age of 75?

 

Donald Trump's lawyers are seeking to vacate his New York hush money conviction based on Monday's Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.

 

I guess you could say I swapped Bob a loo mop and got Pam's broom.

 

In a 6-3 decision, SCOTUS rejected the notion that state legislatures have unlimited power to determine the rules for federal elections and draw partisan congressional maps without interference from state courts.

How much effect will this have on existing congressional maps and upcoming elections?
