The BBC is reporting that: — 21+ Ugandans have died from a landslide in a garbage dump near the capital city of Kampala. —-Kampala has a population of 4 million people —-The dump covers 36 acres and is the only one servicing Kampala
—-More than 1,000 people live in homes in or directly adjacent to the dump. That has to be one ripe smelling neighborhood.
This one little 36 acre slice of paradise is one of thousands, if not tens-of-thousands, of places where good people in bad circumstances are condemned to live out miserable lives.
I am genuinely surprised that our southern border is not more busy than it is.
By now I guess everyone who wanders onto my little stoop on the interwebs knows that I have a real hard on for a manipulative press. Is the truth not startling enough without them adding both content and context?
An overlooked element of the hostage rescue in Gaza is where they were rescued from. Take a gander at the print on the bottom of the screen beginning at the 45 second mark and running to the 55 second mark. I’m not saying that all journalists are full of shit and willing to do whatever it takes to claim some fame, I’m just saying I think all journalists are full of shit, etc.
Hats off to the brave souls that traversed hostile territory to rescue their fellow countrymen, they are true heroes.
There is another way of understanding where we are as a country, it’s by looking at two distinctly separate events and examining how they are received by our citizenry.
First the invalid that has been installed as President doesn’t have a clue. This is bad, real bad. As bad as you think it is, it is much worse. Here is how: half of the country won’t admit that he’s well beyond his use by date. They hate the R’s with such passion that they are blind to the hazards generated by having him stumble around on the world stage.
BIDEN: "I made it clear to the Israelis — don't move on Haifa!"
Secondly, the left has not cornered the market on morons: Rep Matt Gaetz (R-FL) may not be the bellwether, but he’s not trailing by much. Breitbart brought forward a report that Gaetz generated. Saying:
“More than 1,000 U.S. troops are effectively being held “hostage” in Niger with medical supplies running low — stuck between the military junta-controlled government’s demands for them to leave and the Biden administration’s refusal to let them go home after the end of their deployments, according to a report prepared by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).”
🚨 The U.S. State Department is engaging in a deliberate COVERUP on the conditions of U.S. Forces in Niger, leaving our troops in harm’s way.
My office has conducted an investigation into this coverup, and we have learned that our troops in Niger have been pleading for help.… pic.twitter.com/RvYS7L5tvb
Now there are R’s that hate the D’s with such passion that they’ve abandoned all rational thought and suck in what this egotist spews out as if it were mothers milk. That the D’s hate with equal enthusiasm is no consolation.
We are not only a nation failing to rise to it’s potential, we’ve weakened ourselves such that some industrious foreign actor might just take a run at the brass ring.
As Bob would say, “It’s a-hard rain that’s gonna fall’.
Bob says this about the last verse: “when I say,: the pellets of poison are flooding the waters,. . . that means all the lies that people get told on their radios and in their newspapers.
I should have known she would kiss and tell. Next time I’m going for a non-disclosure agreement as God knows I don’t need any trouble from the regulators in the fertility industry.
Misguided? Do you think? I can just imagine the look on the faces of the ICE guys when they patted him down.
He wouldn’t have robbed Macy’s if they had hung him last time.
You’ll recall that Rachel had a little trouble with both her heritage and her integrity a while back. I can’t understand what school district thought it would be a good idea to have someone like her around the kiddies, but apparently they did. I wonder how many of her associates went delinquent on their union dues in order to have her school them on Onlyfans.
I can think of a thousand of things to say on this, but not one of them does topic the justice it deserves. I guess we can expect to see marches in the street proclaiming Oak Trees Matter.
What struck me first about this headline was the over the top portrayal of the firm she honcho’d is/was an American enterprise. A little digging showed why: she is the younger sister of Elaine Chou; the wife of Mitch McConnell and former Secretary of Labor and former Secretary of Transportation.
My sympathy to the family, but this over the top portrayal of her enterprise has me asking why all of the effort?
That line in the sand that constitutes our southern border is rapidly fading and the wild west, complete with Comancheros, is returning.It’s what the environmentalist might call reverting to it’s native condition.
The po-po, using the latest in artificial intelligence software and professional programmers have produced images of two of the victims. Kinda hard to believe they were able to identify the perps but not the victims. If you know of a village absent it’s idiots you may want to call those boys in blue.
I’m not on a Latinx kick today, all the attention they are getting they have earned on their own merit. Fruit of their own making I suppose.
I was sorry to hear that a three US Soldiers bought it in Jordan over the weekend. Today they released the names and the unit they were affiliated with. They were reservists. I have no idea why they forward deployed these folks, but it seems to me they would have gone through a whole slew of active-duty units and staff before reaching for reservists.
I don’t mean to short those that serve our nation in the reserves; I do mean to question what the hell happened to the active-duty end-strength for engineer units that necessitated that staffing solution.
Photos and maps of the area show that territory to be on the pointy edge of the spear. My condolences go out to the family of those who gave all and those injured in Jordan.
On a related note I saw this headline and it gave me great concern. Either the leadership at the Pentagon, the Biden administration, or the snowflake reporters over at Reuters don’t understand how the national command authority works or where (what body) the constitution allocates the authority to wage war.
Sadly, most Americans don’t understand that either.
On a brighter note, I found this while I was passing through the pasture a short while ago.
Wars and rumors of war in far flung lands while life goes on and anew here in rural Tennessee.
Remember when ‘they’ told you the vaccine was perfectly safe? Remember when they blocked social media sites and folk who raised the alarm?
Well, it looks like the those that tried to inform the public on the risks were right all along. Turns out the CDC did not send an alert on COVID-19 vaccines and heart inflammation because officials were concerned they would cause panic. That’s what The Epoch Times is reporting:
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2021 drafted an alert for heart inflammation, or myocarditis, and the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. Officials prepared to release it to the public, taking steps including having the agency’s director review the language, internal documents show.
The alert would have been sent through the CDC’s Health Alert System (HAN) network, which goes to state and local officials, as well as doctors, across the country.
The alert was never sent.
I guess what comes next is a well reasoned argument. It would go something like this.
Damn. I knew Drudge had become pretty much a joke, but this Chicken Little BS is likely to to touch off a panic with those who are imbalanced and impressionable. Perhaps we should restart the schoolhouse air raid drills from the 60’s?
Did you know Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Lunatic) has a new movie out? Don’t feel bad. Neither did anyone else. Her Climate Change (which is a hoax) documentary grossed just $81 per screen.
Director Rachel Lears’ To the End screened at Sundance, features AOC and made its weekend debut on 120 screens.
On those 120 screens, it grossed just $9,667, which averages to $81 per screen.
If you do that math, To the End probably played four or five times daily on those 120 screens. So you’re talking about an average of two people per screening… You’re talking empty matinees.
Had this been a movie where AOC opened her blouse instead of her mouth, I see much better box office results. But what do I know? I’m no hotshot producer.
School board associations would appear to be wonderfully tyrannical bastards of the first order, but even they cannot match the Machiavellian weasels in government. If I understand the play-by-play of the drip, drip, drip from the fourth estate, the school board leadership coordinated the development of their letter to the government (Biden administration) with the ‘White House’ (Biden Administration) who in turn coordinated the response with the Justice Department (Biden Administration). Essentially, the ‘White House’ coordinated both the complaint and the response. The school board didn’t target the parents, the White House did.
This stinks on so many levels what with the nail-biter gubernatorial elections, the targeting of the white middle class, the corruption in the justice department, white house, state house, school boards, and schools (not to mention political parties). All this to perpetuate the false narrative on transvestites and the safety of children in schools. What all of this hullabaloo was designed to do was to cover up the first crime and to mask the reality of liberal social policies: the rape of a child by man who claimed to be a woman so he could abuse innocent children.
There are bunches of assholes that should be praying earnestly that there be no God.
There is a ‘rule’ in congress known as the Byrd Rule (named after the long dead Senator Byrd), which limits the ability of the majority to stuff extraneous legislative goodies into budget-related proposals and still pass them with a simple-majority vote under that process.
There was a time when all rational senators saw the danger of using reconciliation, which limits amendments and debate, to pursue broader, non-budgetary legislation outside regular order. This rule defended the rights of all senators to debate and amend legislation.
What this means is that major legislative policy changes can be made only when all senators have the right to fully debate and amend legislation — and to filibuster. Now, if you are in the majority, but not a 60/40 majority, the Byrd Rule means you cannot sling crap down the throat of the nation and have it go unnoticed.
You cannot do whatever pleases you as long as the Byrd Rule exists. That’s a real problem for this new democrat majority, and there is a move afoot to retire this constraint. It’s through these types of expediencies that the nation will fall.
It’s absolutely amazing how quickly this nation is collapsing.
A quick gander at the news on Yahoo shows that Goebbels’ methods are still in use today. The first article (below) shows success, if the outcry is building then the press has succeeded.
Here is a neat little headline guaranteed to keep the descendants of African imports dissatisfied. I was going to say ‘African Americans’ but I’m tired of trying to figure out which phrase(s) is/are socially correct.
Oh by the way, if you are free to self identify anyway you choose, then I’m free to identify you anyway I choose. Two way street folks.
Then there is this:
Goebbels Rule 18 (propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.) appears to be in play.
On Monday, September 21, 2020, at the request of Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis, the Office of the United States Attorney along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Scranton Resident Office, began an inquiry into reports of diverted mail-in ballots at the Luzerne County Board of Elections.
Since Monday, FBI personnel working together with the Pennsylvania State Police have conducted numerous interviews and recovered and reviewed certain physical evidence. Election officials in Luzerne County have been cooperative. At this point we can confirm that a small number of military ballots were discarded. Investigators have recovered nine ballots at this time. Some of those ballots can be attributed to specific voters and some cannot. All nine ballots were cast for presidential candidate Donald Trump.
From Fox News: The Los Angeles County district attorney apologized Monday for her husband for allegedly pointing a gun at about 50 Black Lives Matter demonstrators and threatening to shoot them for showing up to their Los Angeles home before dawn.
I’m front of DA Jackie Lacey’s house for that community meeting she promised with the @BLMLA crew. Rang her bell to invite her.
I’ve managed to delete my list of links! No easy feat, as WordPress (supposedly) protects against such things. Will go back and resurrect what I can find…..your patience appreciated!
Drudge has crapped on conservatives so much in the last month or so that they are no longer tolerable. Bongino has kicked off a mo-bedder website that I’ll be visiting for my news.
According to what a Publix employee told the police, it was Georgia State Rep. Erica Thomas who allegedly “continuously” yelled “Go back where you came from!” at Eric Sparkes.
If you recall, over the weekend, the wretched Erica Thomas jumped on Twitter and Facebook to straight up lie about a “white man” telling her to “go back where she came from” during a Publix grocery story spat.
“Today I was verbally assaulted in the grocery store by a white man who told me I was a lazy SOB and to go back to where I came from bc I had to many items in the express lane,” she tweeted. “My husband wasn’t there to defend me because he is on Active Duty serving the country I came from USA!”
In a tear-stained Facebook live video she repeated the same lies.
What we later learned, though, soon after our corrupt national media spread Thomas’s lies without question (and even managed to blame Trump
for the altercation), is that the man in question, Eric Sparkes, is a
Cuban Democrat who is not a Trump supporter and who says he probably
voted for Thomas.
Oh, and he never said “go back” and now two witnesses back him up.
Turns out that dear ole Erica Thomas was the one that continually yelled at Sparkes to go back to where he came from.
I spent the morning mowing fields and just now got to the keyboard. My TV tells me that much is going on in the Sodom area of the Potomac, so will let the dust settle before I dig into what is sure to yield commentary fodder for weeks to come. I’m certain that the major networks are all crafting emotional messages to hook their respective audiences emotionally on the outrage. My first take? Same shit, different day.
I’ve seen the video that Patrick notes in the article below. I tried to capture it to share on this site, but it was ‘locked ‘ on CNN’s site. An hour later it had completely disappeared. Cuomo did everything he could in the video to discourage folk from looking at who is involved. He was almost begging. His rationale? The real crime was not in what the pedo’s are doing, but rather that the DA is/was corrupt.
