How not to attend a bond hearing... The judge's reaction to the defendant's answer is priceless.

The facts don't really match up though I would say that the reaction was true.

Reality as I have learned is that the gentleman had his driving privileges restored but they messed up in the required updates and when he got pulled over he came up as suspended - but again - he was supposed to be able to drive.

I saw the update and didn’t add the link promptly. Mea culpa.

The correction to that correction came out yesterday or the day before where it was disclosed that he actually never had a driver's license, only a state ID. Apparently he's never had a driver's license in any state, ever.

seems strange in the context of specific reporting that his DL had been restored to active status but not properly conveyed to licensing records. You don't restore a State ID but I guess if that is the case then he really was reporting in to a hearing on his driving without a license case while driving his car.

I think this was Michigan, and there was definitely a snafu in their system. This catching national attention and playing out in real time is wild.

but i can't understand restoration of a state ID. If he was never licensed he couldn't have it restored so that he can drive again.  The intermediate reporting made it sound like a typical beaurocatic (I hate spelling that word) screw up but if the case before him was 'driving without a license' it was totally understandable how the judge reacted.

I'm not 100% sure of the details but I think it was a DWLR charge, which went through the hearing by mistake. When in actuality he didn't have a DL to begin with. My guess is their state DMV system has...issues.

Six months ago my niece had a baby girl.

Friday my sister told me that the baby was delivered at Butler Memorial Hospital, the same hospital Donald Trump was taken to when he was shot!

My niece has a few friends from church who were at the rally.

I wonder about the quality of beer produced China 🧐🤔 ....

Considering that there is not a lot of it exported, we will likely never know. In my area, we only see Tsingtao beer on the shelves, which may be because Anheuser-Busch owned as much as 27% of the company until 2009. I actually like the stuff, even though that leaked video of someone urinating into one of their vats kinda soured me on it a bit. That story might've made for a "Weird news tonight" post on its own. :)
