☆ Ex-Kansas detective dies by suicide as long-awaited criminal civil rights trial set to begin, sources say

The retired detective was accused of using his position as a police officer in Kansas City, Kansas, to sexually assault vulnerable Black women over the course of decades. Prosecutors said in court filings that Golubski hand-picked his victims because he was confident they would never be believed. The second case accused him of being in cahoots with a drug kingpin in the sex trafficking of underage girls. Developments were chronicled on the front pages of the local newspaper, The Kansas City Star, and resulted in a crusading newspaper columnist winning one of journalism’s highest honors — a Pulitzer Prize. “This trial will turn entirely on victim credibility,” prosecutors wrote in a court filing last year.

Dealing with a lot of ups and downs on the golf course has taught me to regulate my emotions. I still remember one of the first times I lost it on the golf course. When my round was going well, I was on top of the world — but when the ball wasn't going where I wanted it to, I was exasperated. In time, though, I learned how to regulate my emotions while playing — a valuable skill that eventually carried over to other aspects of my life. But swing by swing, I learned how to regulate my emotions even when the game wasn't going as I'd hoped.

But here's the thing: It's not just that tens of thousands of middle managers have lost their jobs. But hiring had plunged by 43% for middle managers and 57% for senior leaders. But it's unclear whether getting rid of middle managers actually made companies run more efficiently. But study after study found that when middle managers do their jobs right, they bolster performance more than either top executives or ground-level employees. Companies are already discovering that having few middle managers is placing an enormous strain on their operations.

☆ Biden’s pardon of his son pours fuel on Trump’s claims of politicized justice
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-02 | by ( Stephen Collinson | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +10 min

CNN —President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter deepened an entanglement of politics and the rule of law that has tarnished faith in American justice and is almost certain to worsen in Donald Trump’s second term. And the cases against Hunter Biden lack the constitutional gravity or historic importance of the indictments against Trump and his frequent attacks on the rule of law. Already, Republicans are arguing the Hunter Biden pardon shows that the current president, and not the next one, is most to blame for politicizing the system of justice by meting out favorable treatment to his son. Yet at the same time, Hunter Biden put himself in a position in which he created a political vulnerability and potential conflict of interest for his father. Then, the investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign’s ties to Russia soured many of the 45th president’s supporters on the justice system.

CNN —Australian police seized the country’s largest haul of cocaine aboard a fishing boat that had broken down near the coast of Queensland, arresting 13 people alleged to be part of a drug-smuggling syndicate. Authorities tracked a recreational fishing boat as it traveled out to sea where it allegedly met a mothership in international waters to fetch the cocaine – some 2.34 metric tons with a street value of nearly half a billion dollars. Police seized their chance to board the boat, arresting two men at sea in a joint investigation between federal and local forces. Police found 2.34 metric tons of cocaine wrapped in bales with roped netting around them on a recreational fishing vessel. Among the haul was 225 metric tons of cocaine, 5 tons of which was found aboard a semi-submersible vessel plying a marine trafficking route from Colombia to Australia, according to the Colombian Navy.
