Biden-Harris Admin Upset Over “False” Pets Eating Stories

They aren’t particularly worried about the American citizens of Springfield who had 20,000 3rd World (4th World?) Haitians dumped in their city of 60,000, bringing their 3rd World beliefs, violence and problems, raising rent, stealing, and so much more. They’re just worried about the Haitians

White House Says False Migrant Pet-eating Stories Put ‘Lives In Danger’

The White House on Thursday condemned debunked stories being pushed by Donald Trump about Haitian migrants eating pet cats and dogs in Ohio as “filth” and said they were endangering people’s lives.

“It is spreading filth that makes the lives of the communities that are being smeared here… it puts their lives in danger,” Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told a briefing.

Not a bit of concern for the Americans. None. And a President Harris would simply bring more into this country. People who will never assimilate, just like with the Islamists in Dearborn and Minneapolis. Venezuelan gang members in Aurora, Colorado. She and the rest of her Comrades want your child’s education disrupted by illegals who do not speak the language and care nothing about being an American, only to be given everything and force America to change for them.

(NY Post) Forget about the ducks and geese allegedly disappearing from public parks. In this beleaguered city, residents say the biggest problem, by far, is that wild-driving Haitian migrants — unfamiliar with US road laws — are turning the streets into combat zones.

And the result can be deadly. The family of Springfield grandma Kathy Heaton experienced this firsthand on Dec. 1 — a day after her 71st birthday — when a Haitian migrant ran her down while she was collecting her garbage cans.

And the driver got off scot-free.

Would an American have gotten off?

Mandy and countless other Springfield residents feel the problem is in the roughly 20,000 Haitian migrants who have flooded into this city of just 60,000 people in just a few years. Longtime residents say the immigrants are getting temporary driving permits without having to learn how to drive safely in the US — or even knowing how to drive at all. (snip)

“Haitians are going the wrong way down one-way streets, making unlawful U-turns in the middle of the roadways, damaging property by driving recklessly, there’s been some street signs taken out, people have had their garages wrecked,” she said.

How would the cops treat you?

Totally A Hoax: Springfield Man Reported Haitian Migrant Snatching Geese

Remember, this is totally not real

Springfield, Ohio, man reported Haitian migrants snatching geese out of park just 2 weeks ago

A Springfield, Ohio, resident on his way to work called 911 to report spotting four Haitian migrants snatching geese near a city park just two weeks ago, according to a newly revealed recording.

The call to a Clark County Sheriff’s Office dispatcher, obtained by the Federalist, appears to support a viral claim about some members of the migrant community eating animals in city parks.

Former President Donald Trump blasted the story into the mainstream Tuesday night when he claimed migrants in Springfield were “eating the dogs.”

Local cops and officials denied that anyone has reported pets being taken for food — but residents have previously claimed that ducks and other fowl were being eaten.

“I’m sitting here, I’m riding on the trail, I’m going to my orientation for my job today, and I see a group of Haitian people, there was about four of them, they all had geese in their hand,” the caller told a dispatcher.

All those reporters and Kamala supporters and supporters of unfettered immigration, bringing the 3rd World (is Haiti the 4th World at this point?) have said it’s a hoax, but, have any of them left their cushy offices and traveled to Springfield and interviewed residents? Done some investigation and set up cameras to watch? Of course not. Reporter these days is reading Twitter and Facebook, sending a few emails for comment right before publication, and just making it up based on their political beliefs.

On Tuesday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced he was sending Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers to help local cops, and was also earmarking $2.5 million to fund the city’s overburdened health system. (snip)

Residents attending a Springfield City Commission meeting last month shared a variety of horror stories involving migrants doing everything from harassing locals to throwing mattresses on front lawns to consuming anything on four legs.

You can thank the Biden-Harris administration. The next city experiencing this could be yours if Kamala is elected.

Surprise: Election Officials Say There Could Be Problems With Mail In Ballots

Obviously, there is nothing nefarious going on

Election Officials’ Warning: Widespread US Mail Woes May Disrupt Voting

State and local election officials from across the country on Wednesday warned that problems with the nation’s mail delivery system threaten to disenfranchise voters in the upcoming presidential election, telling the head of the U.S. Postal Service that it hasn’t fixed persistent deficiencies.

In an alarming letter, the officials said that over the past year, including the just-concluded primary season, mailed ballots that were postmarked on time were received by local election offices days after the deadline to be counted. They also noted that properly addressed election mail was being returned to them as undeliverable, a problem that could automatically send voters to inactive status through no fault of their own, potentially creating chaos when those voters show up to cast a ballot.

The officials also said that repeated outreach to the Postal Service to resolve the issues had failed and that the widespread nature of the problems made it clear these were “not one-off mistakes or a problem with specific facilities. Instead, it demonstrates a pervasive lack of understanding and enforcement of USPS policies among its employees.”

Wait, they’re surprised by this? If I do not have 5 days to mail a birthday card to clients who live in a 40 mile radius I wait and send them a bday email, as I have zero confidence it will get there on time. Anyhow, the obvious solution to this is that people go vote in person, like should be happening except in certain situations, like a handicap, being overseas, being military outside the home state, being in the hospital. Not just because you do not feel like going over to the voting building during the usually 2 weeks of open voting.

Of course, what this sets the stage for when it comes to Democrats is for them to caterwaul about late ballots and that they should be counted even if very late. Certainly there will be no shenanigans, right?

The blinding brilliance of the United States Navy

Command Senior Chief Grisel Marrero

The United States Navy is a hugely expensive, and believed to be an extremely capable fighting force, able to project American power around the world, but sometimes things happen which are just do f(ornicating) stupid as to make me wonder just what we actually have for defense in this country. With the build up of China’s navy, and the increasing threats to Taiwan, all while the US has sent tons of military supplies to Ukraine, just what capabilities do we really have?

How Navy chiefs conspired to get themselves illegal warship Wi-Fi

By Diana Stancy | Tuesday, September 3, 2024

Today’s Navy sailors are likely familiar with the jarring loss of internet connectivity that can come with a ship’s deployment.

For a variety of reasons, including operational security, a crew’s internet access is regularly restricted while underway, to preserve bandwidth for the mission and to keep their ship safe from nefarious online attacks.

But the senior enlisted leaders among the littoral combat ship Manchester’s gold crew knew no such privation last year, when they installed and secretly used their very own Wi-Fi network during a deployment, according to a scathing internal investigation obtained by Navy Times.

As the ship prepared for a West Pacific deployment in April 2023, the enlisted leader onboard conspired with the ship’s chiefs to install the secret, unauthorized network aboard the ship, for use exclusively by them.

So while rank-and-file sailors lived without the level of internet connectivity they enjoyed ashore, the chiefs installed a Starlink satellite internet dish on the top of the ship and used a Wi-Fi network they dubbed “STINKY” to check sports scores, text home and stream movies.

There’s more at the Navy Times original, about how then-Command Senior Chief Grisel Marrero arranged for the purchase of the Starlink system, got it covertly installed, and distributed the system among the ‘chief’s mess,’ the grouping of the chief petty officers on a ship.

I first saw this story, from another source, while I was in France, and thought about how stupid it was, but then I got more on it Wednesday evening, and I marveled at the utter stupidity of it all. Chief Marrero was the Chief of the Boat on the USS Manchester (LCS-14), the senior enlisted person on the ship, and is expected to advise the commanding officer and executive officer on all subjects.

That’s the part which really caught my eye: the COB simply can’t be stupid, but Chief Marrero apparently is, as are all of the other chief petty officers aboard the Manchester. All of the chiefs knew of the wifi system, and attempted to keep it a secret, but, as is the case in any small and closed community, the secret didn’t stay secret. Rumors started floating around, the CO called in the COB to question her about it, and Chief Marrero did what so many do when caught with their hand in the cookie jar: she lied through her scummy teeth!

You can read the sordid details in the Navy Times original, and I’ve no reason to repeat them here. The COB and her fellow conspirators conspired to keep the secret once they heard of rumors about it, when the real thing to do, if they’d had any sense at all — that is: assuming some sense other than installing the stupid thing in the first place — would have been to toss any evidence of it overboard. But no, they changed the name of the system to that of a wireless printer to try to conceal it, but kept the thing running. What a great way to get yourself caught!

In the end, Chief Marrero was court martialed, while the other chiefs underwent administrative punishment via a Commodore’s Mast. Chief Marrero? She was sentenced to a reduction in rank, all the way down to E-7, just one grade lower.

She’s still a chief petty officer!

The news stories about this don’t tell us much about what happened to the other chiefs who were in on the deal, but non-judicial punishment is still a limited thing. Chief Marrero loses the rocker above the chevrons, but a top enlisted person, charged with advising her CO and XO, will still be a top non-commissioned officer, and entrusted with duties requiring trust and good judgement. To me, this calls into question not just the intelligence of Chief Marrero and her fellows in the chiefs’ mess aboard the Manchester, but that of the Navy brass, who were tolerant enough to allow her to stay in the Navy, and retain a responsible position. If the Navy brass are that stupid, how can we ever expect them to carry out their duties the way we expect if they ever find themselves in a war again?

We Need New Bread For An Overheated World Or Something

It’s always something with this doomsday cult. Did they have to do this during the previous Holocene warm periods? We know they had a lot of problems growing wheat during the Little Ice Age, which made making bread difficult

Can better bread be a climate change solution? These bakers think so

It’s a drizzly, cold spring day outside, but inside the Washington State University Breadlab in the Skagit Valley, richly scented steam billows out of a toasty commercial oven as baker Mel Darbyshire pulls out a tray of puffy mahogany loaves of bread.

“They look excellent,” she says, inhaling and examining their shiny, domed crusts. She pops one out of its tin and cuts into it. The slice looks exactly like the bread emoji — fluffy-topped and perfectly shaped — only this bread is a rich, warm brown on the inside.

That’s because it’s made from 100% whole wheat flour. And not just any whole wheat: a mix of different types of wheat called a “Climate Blend,” developed specifically to withstand the increasingly intense weather brought on by human-caused climate change. Both of those factors make this loaf a paragon for the future and a symbol of what bread can be in a climate-changed future.

On top of that, “it tastes amazing,” says Darbyshire.

That whole 1.6F increase in 174 years has been dangerous, eh?

That consistency has a price, says Jones. To produce flour that looks and behaves so consistently, the wheat it comes from has to be relatively uniform. That pushes farmers and wheat breeders to create and plant wheat varieties that are also relatively uniform, genetically selecting over time for plants of a certain height, or kernels a certain color and hardness.

Consistency is good for a product like flour; it helps keep a product like bread predictable. But it can be risky for plants themselves. In a field of plants that are genetically similar to each other — like siblings instead of two strangers from opposite sides of the world — a risk to one is a risk to all. A sensitivity to heat could wipe out a whole field, or region, if a heat wave comes along. A susceptibility to disease or pests could ruin a crop.

Jones, and many other crop scientists, have long been concerned that such selection also narrows the biodiversity of crops within a field, a farm, or even a whole region. That could, they think, increase the vulnerability of a crop. There are real-life examples of such disasters: Ireland’s Great Famine of the 1840s, for example, was driven by a potato blight disease that wiped out fields across the country and led to more than a million deaths.

But, that makes sense, because the climate, and the weather that makes up climate, is always changing. However, other reports say that wheat production is even more diversified than 100 years ago.

“If we have a chaotic climate, our strategy is to have genetic chaos in the field,” says Jones. “To strike back, to fight chaos with chaos.”

Reports Says Israel Is Offering Hamas Head Safe Passage For Release Of Hostages

This should make the Hamas supporters happy, knowing that their leader won’t be blown up

Israel offers Sinwar safe passage out of Gaza in exchange for hostages – report

Israel’s chief negotiator for hostages and missing persons, Gal Hirsch, proposed offering Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar safe passage out of Gaza in exchange for the 101 hostages in the terror group’s captivity, a Tuesday Bloomberg interview revealed.

According to the report, the proposal to allow Sinwar’s escape from Gaza has been on the table for two days, yet it is unclear what Hamas’s response has been and whether they would accept it.

The offer was made with the intent of developing new solutions for a deal as ongoing negotiations “look more and more dim,” Hirsch explained.

“I’m ready to provide safe passage to Sinwar, his family, whoever wants to join him. We want the hostages back. We want demilitarization, de-radicalization of course — a new system that will manage Gaza,” Hirsch stated.

Will Sinwar go for this? He doesn’t care a whit about the civilians in Gaza, and, the base Hamas fighters are disposable cannon fodder. He would get safe, taking people with him. But, does he want that more than he wants to continue forcing Israel to battle in Gaza, knowing how many Israel and Jew haters there are out there in the 1st World? In the United Nations?

Meanwhile

Hmm, operating in a designated civilian protection area. Hamas wouldn’t do that, right?

Bummer: Climate Doom Could Cause Big Problems For Pacific Island Tourism

This could have been avoided, but, you like to take fossil fueled flights to Pacific islands for vacations

Climate change leaves future of Pacific Islands tourism ‘highly uncertain’

The Pacific Islands are scattered across a vast area of ocean, with some of the clearest waters in the world, and pristine beaches and rainforests.

They are a magnet for tourism, which is vital for many of the countries’ economies.

But the region’s travel industry, and those who rely on it, are increasingly fearful of the impact of continuing climate change.

“Pacific Island leaders have declared climate change as the foremost threat to the livelihoods, security, and well-being of Pacific communities,” says Christopher Cocker, the chief executive of the Pacific Tourism Organisation.

“Without immediate and innovative action, the future of tourism in the region remains highly uncertain.”

Blah blah blah. It’s a ridiculously long article that shocking, or, being that the BBC is a mouthpiece for the Cult of Climastrology, unshockingly, fails to consider that these islands would revert back to their pre-colonial pasts without fossil fuels. No one is coming on sailing ships. All these island nations have lots and lots of airports for planes and helicopters. They receive most of their goods and tourists via fossil fueled planes, along with fossil fueled cargo ships. They often use fossil fuels for their own fishing boats.

The group champions sustainable tourism and environment protection, and is restoring mangroves and planting trees. But Ms Vakacola tells me that this part of Viti Levu, Fiji’s biggest island, is already living with the consequences of warming temperatures.

Bore water is being contaminated by salinity from the encroaching sea and, more and more, rainwater must be harvested during the wet season.

“Water security is a big risk in terms of climate change,” explains Ms Vakacola.

Considering most of these islands were created from corals, rather than being volcanic in nature, did they ever consider that the seas have been much higher in the past?

Anyhow, what they really want is money. They do not want tourists to stop coming on fossil fueled airplanes.

National People’s Congress Black Caucus Extols Companies Complying With DEI

This kind of governmental interference in private companies goes way beyond socialism

Congressional Black Caucus releases corporate accountability report on DEI

A majority of Fortune 500 companies have maintained their commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) despite growing political and legislative attacks on such practices, according to a new report from the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) released Monday.

The report, “What Good Looks Like: A Corporate Accountability Report on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,” is the first-of-its-kind report to grade such companies on DEI commitments and racial equity investments since the 2020 murder of George Floyd.

Following Floyd’s killing, a host of U.S. companies pledged to invest in efforts to reduce racial inequities across the nation and to strengthen their DEI efforts.

Would these be some of the same companies which were robbed, looted, set on fire during the mostly peaceful but fiery protests?

The report follows months of the CBC leaders meeting with CEOs and other C-suite executives in Fortune 500 companies. It also includes a ranking report card of each sector.

The financials sector had the highest response rate to the CBC’s report and came in fourth on the report card with 34 out of 93 companies receiving a top score for their efforts.

Communications services had the highest ranking, with 9 out of 19 companies receiving a top score for their efforts.

First, by what constitutional provision are these sitting members of the National People’s Congress, er, U.S. Congress, interfering with the operations of private businesses? Second, it sure seems like these CBC members are saying that blacks are unable to succeed unless they are handed everything on a silver platter. Personally, I have a more positive opinion of blacks and their ability to succeed like everyone else.

This is government intimidation at it’s worst.

Warmists Wants Americans To Turn Off Their AC Or Something

Why can’t these nags just mind their own business?

Scientist calls for Americans to cut off air conditioning in summer, claiming it causes global warming

A scientist is calling for Americans to cut off air conditioning after refusing to use it for 25 years during the throes of the summer in order to combat climate change.

Stan Cox is an Ecosphere Fellow at the Land Institute who also believes the U.S. military is an “enemy” to mitigating climate change. He wrote a guest essay in the New York Times on Saturday, “I Swore Off Air-Conditioning, and You Can, Too,” claiming that “air-conditioning is making our summers even hotter” due to climate change.

“The greenhouse gases created by the roughly 90 percent of American households that own A.C. units mean that running them even in balmy temperatures is making the climate crisis worse,” Cox wrote.

Yeah yeah yeah. You do you. Leave the rest of us alone. Of course, you know that these cultists want to get the government to force people to turn the AC off, or, at least keep it at a much higher temperature.

For those who might say it’s a drastic step that’s too far, Cox believes that they’ll get used to living without AC.

“Our species evolved, biologically and culturally, under wildly varying climatic conditions, and we haven’t lost that ability to adapt. Research suggests that when we spend more time in warm or hot summer weather, we can start feeling comfortable at temperatures that once felt insufferable. That’s the key to reducing dependence on air-conditioning: The less you use it, the easier it is to live without it,” he said.

Piss off. No one asked for your opinion or advice.
