    Librarian Kerry Littel recorded video of the arrest, previously telling the Tribune that she saw an agent kneeling on the man’s back and apparently punching him on the side of the head while residents shouted, “He can’t breathe!”

    “They had yanked his shoes off, they were shoving him on the ground multiple times,” Littel said. “It got to the level where they punched him. They kicked him. They slammed his head on the ground.”

    After video of the violent takedown circulated on social media and in the media, the Department of Homeland Security posted on X that the young man “grabbed the agent’s genitals and squeezed them,” which is why the agent “delivered several defensive strikes to the agitator to free his genitals from the agitator’s vise.”

    In her ruling, Judge Ellis noted that witness video did not clearly show the man grabbing the agent’s genitals, and that DHS did not provide evidence to support the allegation.

    The young man’s father had harsher words for the agency’s statement, calling it “an absolute bald-faced lie, and the video proves it’s a lie. My son’s hands never went by the guy’s genitals. … It’s just ridiculous.”

    The father told Pioneer Press he supports Trump “in many ways,” but he doesn’t support the massive sweep of people based on their ethnicity.

    “It’s craziness, and I think what set me over the edge was they put a statement from DHS that said that my son grabbed the guy’s nuts,” he said. “I’m very conflicted, because I voted for Trump. I like many of the policies. I just believe this has gone way too far, and it’s not what he said it was going to be.”

    This looks like a good possibility. Basically an egg and veggie pie, with the crust being made of grated potatoes. Video won't play here, but you can click on the Link to video.

    RECIPE AND INGREDIENTS:
    Ingredients:
    Potatoes — 1 kg
    Butter — 3 tbsp (2 for the dish, 1 melted for brushing)
    Eggs — 5 (1 white for crust, 4 for filling)
    Salt — to taste
    Cream — 300 ml
    Feta — 100 g
    Parmesan — 50 g
    Spinach — 100 g
    Red bell pepper — 1
    Olives — 80 g
    Flour — 2 tbsp
    Dried garlic, oregano — to taste
    Olive oil — for frying

    Preparation:
    Grate potatoes, salt, and let sit for 15 minutes.
    Squeeze out the liquid, spread evenly in a buttered, parchment-lined form.
    Brush with melted butter and bake for 20 minutes at 200°C.
    Brush with whipped egg white and bake for 3 more minutes at 180°C.
    Mix eggs, cream, feta, and parmesan.
    Sauté spinach, add to the mixture.
    Fry diced pepper and olives with garlic and oregano, combine with the filling.
    Add flour, pour into the crust, and bake 25–35 minutes at 180°C.

    Result: A golden, crispy potato base with creamy, cheesy vegetable filling — comforting, flavorful, and truly homemade.

    @Bernard said in Replacing the range:

    @wtg Yes, I read the overview earlier this evening, but the ratings are all behind the paywall.

    This link has their top three. I don't think there's a paywall.

    https://www.consumerreports.org/appliances/ranges/the-best-induction-ranges-a8524766309/

    You can sign up for a month's worth of digital access to CR for $10 if you want access to all the ratings. I did that in the past when we were making some purchase that I thought was worth getting the CR perspective on.

    Then I figured out I can access it for free via the library. 😀

    I have had good luck with LG

    An LG model is their top rated range unit.
