facilities fell below these levels over 14 ,126
times from 2020 to 2024. Attorney General Rob
Bonta stated, Sweetwater violated the law and
betrayed the trust of communities, emphasizing

tech. DJI remains committed to the United States
market despite the alarming absence of its drones
from local retailers. A recent visit to a Best
Buy store revealed zero DJI drones available
for purchase with the aisle completely cleared
of products. A store employee cited concerns
over U .S.-China relations as a reason for the
lack of stock. DJI's own U .S. web store also
shows no drones in inventory, and third -party
listings on Amazon are limited. As concerns about
tariffs and import scrutiny grow, DJI may face
challenges ahead, with a possible ban on new
products looming. Entertainment news. The Karate
Kid Part 3 sees Daniel and Mr. Miyagi returning
to the Valley. but the film feels like leftovers
from earlier installments. Director John G. Abelson
envisioned a high -flying adventure set in 16th

Instead, the film features Daniel investing his
college savings into a bonsai tree shop, while
Cobra Kai's Kree steams up with the sinister
Terry Silver to turn Daniel against Miyagi. Critics
noted that the film's violence overshadowed its
heart, leading to a disappointing box office
return of $39 million. Roger Ebert lamented the
exhausted character arcs, indicating it was time
to move on. Well, alrighty folks, it's time for
