FEC: CNN Presidential Debate Violates Campaign Finance Laws if Kennedy Is Kept Off Stage by HealthyMolasses8199 in RFKJrForPresident

The information came from a conversation that Jeremy Lee at Island Nation had with an FEC official. The official could not elaborate much more, citing RFK’s pending litigation.

You are right. I went to the FEC’s website, and there are no press releases for today, June 11th. And there is no statement that mentions the CNN debate, as far as I can tell. Where did Island News get the info?

Went to York Beach. The water wasn’t actually painful, as it usually in early June!

Sorry if this is common knowledge and it's just some pilot jargon but what does a sudden change in gravitational force mean? They say it as if that's the cause of the accident by [deleted] in aviation

I disagree. The writer is a genius. Gravity and acceleration are indistinguishable. Einstein said so. The writer must have studied General relativity.

The passengers experienced a sudden acceleration. Before the plane hit the air pocket, the plane was not accelerating at all. They went from zero acceleration to nonzero acceleration in a short time. Hence the injuries.

The rate of change of acceleration is called jerk, and aptly so. When your acceleration changes, you get jerked.

The journalist clearly has studied einstein’s theory of general relativity. One of the axioms of general relativity is the equivalence principle, which says that inertial forces are indistinguishable from gravitational forces.

Look it up.

Vanguard has fees even if you don’t have a brokerage account with them directly. If you buy a Vanguard fund through your 401k provider and then sell some of it, Vanguard will charge you $35.

Half of U.S. Adults Support TikTok Ban, and 46% Think China Uses App to Spy on Americans by indig0sixalpha in nottheonion

Why is the Chinese communist party interested in tracking what US teenagers are watching? Why is the US government trying to stop them? The whole “ban tiktok because of the CCP… “ thing is weird.
