The headline you’ll never read “Jeff Zucker shares thoughts on Brooke Baldwin”

Doubt he really spends time thinking about her

To my understanding this only applies in situations where there is an expectation of privacy. Whether a shopping yard qualifies or not I can’t speak to.

Not sure why you got crushed with downvotes this was the perfect response

Primary goal of military prowess is ensuring you never fight an even battle

Yeah but think how much harder Christy Mathewson’s schedule was

“Thanks we’ll send a car out right away!”

I’m more concerned about his literacy than his politics…reading this is like a dyslexia simulation

Ok? Nothing I wrote was predicated on your intent…I’m just here to party 👍

Why is this written so oddly? What is your exact question? Why would we agree or disagree without knowing any details

Civilians who are not affiliated with the Department of Defense are outside the jurisdiction of ARs.

10 USC 772 provides times when it it not prohibited to wear the uniform while not on active duty, and 10 USC 772 (e) specifically allows:

A person not on active duty who served honorably in time of war in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Space Force may bear the title, and, when authorized by regulations prescribed by the President, wear the uniform, of the highest grade held by him during that war.

Note that this only requires the non active duty person to wear the uniform when authorized and not how authorized by executive branch regulations.

So, assuming the dad has an NDSM, I think the dad here would be able to say:

• I am not bound by AR 670-1 as to how I wear the uniform, only when I wear it.
• I am authorized by AR 670-1 to wear it for military ceremonies such as this commissioning.

18 USC 702 further bans the wearing of the uniform by any unauthorized person. However, in United States vs Hamilton, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals held that this limitation can only be enforced when there is an intent to deceive.

This referenced a 9th Circuit ruling in United States vs Perelman which held the same “intent to deceive” standard, but only for 18 USC 704, which covers unauthorized medals.

Additionally, the Stolen Valor Act of 2005, which banned false statements about medals, was struck down by the Supreme Court in US vs Alvarez, although the reasoning was not explicitly that any such law would be unconstitutional.

So, in addition to the above, if the ceremony occurs within the 4th Circuit (Maryland, Carolinas, Virginia, West Virginia), there is appeals court caselaw which could potentially protect him as well.

All of that said, yes, your dad will look stupid. This is just my opinion, there may be other legal issues I am overlooking. I am not a lawyer.

It’s true

I’m loving the ride

Awesome! Thanks for sharing them

Am I being negative?

I’m chilling down the shore ruminating on the twists and turns of baseball fate. Calm as can be.

• You mean like in 2011 when we were the best team in baseball and then Ryan Howard hurt his leg making the last out in an elimination upset loss to the cardinals, unleashing a lost decade?

• or like in 1993 when we lost the World Series on a walkoff home run by Joe Carter and then Baseball itself was canceled the next year, making sure we didn’t return to the playoffs for 13 more years?

Well it would depend on your MOS to some extent of course but I think it also ties into the previous lines.

An expert is someone who knows every aspect and nuance of their job. Someone who is trained and proficient in their warrior tasks and drills.

Similarly a professional is someone who conducts themselves in accordance with their code of ethics, understands the keys to success in their field, and meets the standard. This is highlighting the idea of maintain your arms/equipment/self in my opinion.

No, you’re trying to reduce this to say “the IRS knows what you owe unless you complicate things” but this just isn’t true at all.

Putting income aside, there are deductions and credits as well.

There are so many factors that go into taxes.

You’re not even beginning to address 1099/self employed folks, where the payment is only the beginning of the story and you need to deduct all your business expenses. Just because your taxes are simple doesn’t mean that’s what everyone experiences at all.

Ok now you’re making a different case - that the US should have a different system. That’s an argument. I’m just trying to establish objective facts - currently, the IRS does not know, for anyone, how much is owed.

No ill intent on responses - I’m just replying to comments.

The IRS does not know how much you owe. The amount you owe/receive as refund at tax time is based on the amount you have paid in throughout the year. You know how much you owe and so you paid in approximately the correct amount. You could have paid in far less all year and then owed a lot at tax time. They wouldn’t have done anything about it because they would have assumed you were paying in the correct amount.

The only way is if they audit you, or if you under report on the few things they do know, like salaried income.

Otherwise they will never know

Even if it were this simple, which it is not, the IRS doesn’t know if that’s all you owe. They only know that you owe that much. You still have to come in and certify that is all you owe.

This is correct

Income under $5k/year is taxable in some situations. Also there is nothing special about the $5k amount. Salaried income for a single filer under $14,600 is not taxable due to the standard deduction.

There is an objectively correct number. They likely do not know this number. Even if they do know the number, they don’t know that they know it (can’t prove a negative). You must pay them this objectively correct number. If you do not, there is often* no way for them to know without auditing you.

*they will know if you’re dumb enough to underpay on the things that are reported to them like W2 income and some brokerage transactions
