[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] This would be War on Police if they were unfairly criticized for properly doing their job. Since they’re being fairly criticized for deliberately doing such a bad job that they helped a mass murderer kill, it’s Lurid Crime.
Five Department of Public Safety officers in Texas are under formal investigation over their actions on the day of the Robb Elementary School shooting in May
In total, 19 children and two teachers were murdered in the shooting
Infamously, hundreds of law enforcement officers arrived at the scene of the shooting but waited over an hour before engaging the gunman
Two of the five officers have already been suspended without pay as the investigation continues
This new investigation comes on the same week that school students in Uvalde are returning to class for the first time since the massacre
This comes on the back of a massive $27 billion class action lawsuit seeking accountability and justice for the families of the victims that will be filed against law enforcement in Texas this month.

[ConservativeReview] Planned Parenthood ...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party... has found something besides abortion to sell. Few people realize that, nationally, "Planned Parenthood is the second largest provider of hormone therapy" for "transgender and gender non-conforming patients," it reports. Certainly didn't plan on that before I became a parent.
Even in states that have banned all or most abortions, Planned Parenthood affiliates are fighting to stay open under the banner of "gender-affirming care." A term unheard of by most people as recently as a few months ago, "gender-affirming care" has become the umbrella term for addressing gender dysphoria, especially in children and young teens, through surgery, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones. It is better thought of as profitable, appearance-altering, experimental protocols, with very little oversight or regulation, though sometimes it is funded by taxpayers. More at the link.

These bastards got my daughter. After a 50 minute phone call they hooked her up with a nurse practitioner who wrote the scrip for testosterone. Less than 2 weeks after her 18th birthday. She took off less than a month later. I haven’t seen her since. They can rot in Hell as far as I’m concerned.

I’m so sorry, Remoteman. My prayers for her and your family There is increasing anecdotal evidence many come to regret that decision within a few years — may your daughter come to her senses soon, and with little permanent harm.
Trailing daughter #1 has gender dysphoria in addition to all the other problems that stem from trying to deal with autism and narcolepsy — apparently there is a much higher level of that among those with autism than in the general population. Because of all her problems, she may never be able to live independently, despite an IQ in the genius range and a history of hard work that goes back to age eleven..

‘I'm done with Portland' : Furious residents of the Dem-led city reveal to DailyMail.com why they have no choice but to sell their homes as 'homeless drug addicts' set up camp right outside their front doors.
Residents of Portland are selling their homes due to the homeless epidemic that is ravaging the city.
Some homeowners say they are 'terrified' to leave the house due to mental illness in homeless communities.
The city has set up Safe Rest Villages, a program that shelters homeless people in designated lots.
But unauthorized homeless encampments are popping up in many neighborhoods, spreading to the suburbs.

Seriously. we need to STOP using the PC title that lumps in the typical Street Bums, derelicts, system moochers, drifters, psycho's, addicts and general scum of the earth...all into the same category as a Family or citizen that lost their home.

...Well, as the old saying goes, even a flatworm knows to turn away from pain.
The 'pain' in this case being the fact that we would lose more people than we lost in our last three wars put together to the vaccine mandate, and lose them within a space of a month or so, and all of that within a few weeks of an election.
And any bets on whether or not this policy does a 180 if the Democrats stay in power?

J'Ouvert is a Caribbean tradition and carnival that signifies the freedom of slaves and is heavily celebrated by New York City residents
Participants from Caribbean descent prepared months for the event as some dressed up in cultural attire while styling the flag of their homeland
The festivities officially resumed for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic
Officers had about 13 security entry points lined up at the festival with metal detectors to remove any alcohol and weapons from participant's possession
Footage shows the moment a single-engine Cessna nearly crashed into a Delta Boeing 757 passenger jet in midair over Orlando International Airport
The near-miss that could have seen mass casualties if the two planes collided - and is currently being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
The video, filmed from inside the Cessna, shows the pilot's reaction to the crisis, which saw him take quick, evasive action by ascending over the climbing aircraft
The pilot, Malik Clarke, recalled the encounter in a recent interview, detailing how he was forced to take 'evasive action' to avoid the passenger plane

That is class B airspace, presumably over Orlando international airport. You MUST be in radio contact and have permission to be there. Somebody wasn't communicating with the correct people, not sure I'd put a video of that in public...

General Aviation planes drop out of the air and kill people all the time. There were 21 fatal crashes in August 2022 alone and more happening every month. One wonders why GA is even allowed, what with the colossal waste of gasoline it is and that it's only open to the wealthy.

Cessna probably had no business being where the big boys fly - they move 3-4 times as fast as you. And if you’re uncontrolled close to a big airport your head better be in constant motion. Sure could have been a disaster.
#9
Reminds me of all the times birds flew in front of my truck but only hit one (owl, glancing blow, and he flew off a few minutes later) - I guess the air flow around the truck diverted them, wonder if the same would happen with most Cessna-757 close encounters?
Several cities, including New York City, Jackson, Mississippi and Benton Harbor, Michigan have had issues with their main water systems this year
Baltimore is encouraging its residents to use only bottled water after a boil water advisory was issued earlier this week after the detection of E. coli
E. coli contamination can cause intestinal distress, with symptoms that include stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting

What's the deal with all these failing water systems? You just turn the tap and clean, drinkable water comes out. It's always been like that. If it is not working, it must be racism. We need more laws!
#4
Probably should change your refrigerator filter after the order is lifted or your ice cubes will be giving you the business down the road and we will run out of toilet paper again.

"6. The Age of Decadence After a long period of wealth and power, Sir John established that all empires decline in this pattern. “Frivolity, aestheticism, hedonism, cynicism, pessimism, narcissism, consumerism, materialism, nihilism, fatalism, fanatics and other negative behaviors and attitudes suffuse the population. Politics is increasingly corrupt, life increasingly unjust. A cabal of insiders accrues wealth and power at the expense of the citizens, fostering a fatal opposition of interests between haves and have nots. The majority lives for bread and circuses (panem et circusem); they worship celebrities instead of divinities…. throw off social and moral restraints — especially sexuality; shirk duties but insist on entitlements.”
The actual collapse of a civilization is much like the bankruptcy of an organisation. It happens very gradually over a long period of time, and then suddenly, it folds. Eminent historian and anthropologist Sir John Glubb wrote The Fall of Empires in 1976 and said this:
“The life expectation of a great nation, it appears, commences with a violent, and usually unforeseen, outburst of energy, and ends in a lowering of moral standards, cynicism, pessimism and frivolity.”
Sir John Glubb lists the six ages of a civilization's growth and collapse ...most have lasted 10 generations or so, around 250 years.
In ways very prescient as we are in the 246th year of the Republic.While wary of simplified historical analysis, it is interesting nonetheless.

A number of years ago, Birmingham AL got nailed with fines from the EPA for wastewater and potable water issues. Goldman Sacks had talked the city into selling their bond program to them, so there was no money available for fixes: bankruptcy ahead.
Regions Bank (headquartered there, big buildings) bought up the bonds (pennies on the dollar), and arrainged with the city to take over and run it. Fixed the system (out of bank profits, they gotta protect their investment), set up a corporation to manage things, and spun it off. City input not wanted.
Shareholders said "Attaboy, try not to let this happen again."

PLZ-5s 155mm has range of 40k.
The Taiwan Strait is a 180k.
Perhaps the story is wrong or they have something with a much longer range.
Possibly these are to bombard Kinman or one of the close islands and claim a fairly easy victory to satisfy the Mob.

Arty is the last bit or combat power to come ashore in an amphibious assault. Whether SP or towed - very heavy, not vey mobile, and needy logistics trail w/fuel and ammo. Might be some small stuff in late waves but heavy/big guns come much much later. Taiwan is not an arty fight IMNSHO.

As I recall one of the problems at Omaha Beach was that the artillery was sent ashore long before it could be of any use. Not what the assault troops needed at that point in time.

Abu U,
Can't rule that cause out, and I'm pretty sure not one of those little snowflakes would know HOW to use a pencil and paper.
Am reminded of an instance in the late 80s where my Air Force base went computerized for all maintenance work orders - and it was going to take us so far into the millennium that we were told to dispose of the paper forms, and to be found in possession of said forms would get your section a write up.
The obvious happened; the new computer system crashed and stayed that way for three months.
With the exception of my Combat Munitions Unit, because I had the good sense to take all those forms and put them in my trunk. We never missed a job.

[ZeroHedge] "In America people are not in this shit," exclaims mayor of Antwerp, Bart De Wever during an interview on Belgian TV.
"They are now exporters of oil and gas, but they certainly weren't twenty years ago. Climate standards are not of much use if all your companies go to America and China to produce, then you are bankrupt and the climate is not yet saved. This is the green dogmatics. People should start realizing this."
The outspoken mayor held nothing back during the Flemish current affairs program De Zevende Dag.
“Oil, gas and coal were no longer allowed. No investments were allowed in reserves. Germany does not have a single LNG terminal (a terminal for liquefied natural gas, ed.). The dumbest countries, Germany and Belgium, have phased out nuclear energy in parallel. We have pushed away all energy sources, making ourselves dependent on Putin. Now we hang on to it.”
The previous government, of which De Wever's party was part, decided that the Belgian nuclear centers Tihange 2 and Doel 3 should close.
“It's a purple-green law. We now have a purple-green government. That is a recipe for catastrophe.”
Prime Minister Alexander De Croo says the country is 'in an economic war situation'.
“Everything has to be on the table.”
According to De Wever, it is time 'for bitter truths'...
“This country is bankrupt.”

Watch the full interview (in Dutch but you can select translation to English subtitles with the CC section - not available fort Embed) below:
[ArsTechnica] Ireland’s data regulator has fined Instagram 405 million euro for violating the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and failing to safeguard children’s information.
The fine from the Data Protection Commission followed a two-year investigation into the Meta-owned social media platform. The investigation covered complaints that Instagram defaulted the accounts of all users, including those under the age of 18, to public settings. It also related to how the contact information of children using business accounts on the platform was publicly available.
Instagram, which allows users over the age of 13, said the fine related to old settings that were updated more than a year ago. It said it had released features to keep teenagers’ information private, including automatically setting children’s accounts to private when they sign up since July last year.
Teens are now also prompted on business accounts that their contact information will be displayed publicly unless they choose to remove it.
"While we’ve engaged fully with the DPC throughout their inquiry, we disagree with how this fine was calculated and intend to appeal it. We’re continuing to carefully review the rest of the decision," the company said.
The fine is one of the largest under GDPR and the third the Irish regulator has handed to Meta, which also owns Facebook and WhatsApp. Full details of the regulator’s decision on Instagram will be published next week.
Meta was fined 17 million euro in March by the Irish regulator following an investigation into data breach notifications on Facebook. Last year, it was fined 225 million euro for violating privacy laws on WhatsApp.
Meta is appealing against the WhatsApp ruling but has accepted the Facebook decision.
The platform last year paused plans to launch Instagram Kids, a bespoke version of the app for users under the age of 13, in response to global government scrutiny and concerns from child safety campaigners. It is unclear when it will launch, and the company confirmed the project is still paused.
In the UK, changes to social networks were introduced last year to protect children’s privacy when the Children’s Code, or age-appropriate design code, became law.
The regulations, which demand stricter requirements to collect and process children’s data, have inspired other countries, including Ireland, Australia, and Canada, to draw up similar rules.
Last week, California lawmakers in the state senate approved their age-appropriate design code, which could come into force in 2024.
"There is an urgent priority for a universal settlement for children’s privacy so that children across the globe are protected," said Lady Beeban Kidron, who proposed the Children’s Code and is chair of children’s digital rights charity 5Rights.
"No environment is 100 percent safe, but social media companies have been slow to act and cavalier about accepting the negative impacts of their products on children. Safety-by-design is not an aspiration, it is the minimum we should expect," she added.
Speaking which, anyone ever come across a satisfying explanation for what described as a submarine ICBM launch off the coast of California however many years ago that was?

[Free Beacon] The American people got a terrifying glimpse into the tech-driven childless dystopia President Joe Biden and his liberal allies are striving to achieve after a urologist in Texas last week performed what is believed to be the world's first vasectomy powered by an electric vehicle. Shocking!
Dr. Christopher Yang congratulated himself on Twitter for using his $70,000 Rivian electric truck to power the castration-esque procedure after his clinic in Austin (where else?) suffered a power outage. "Power in clinic went out, patient didn't want to reschedule cause he already had time off," Yang wrote. "Procedure went great!"
The only way to keep 'Universal Health Care' solvent, until they discover that no more new tax revenue is forthcoming.

[Jpost] Scallops: enjoyed by many, dreaded by some, and pretty expensive across the board. Due to overfishing and stagnating fish farm growth, supply of the protein-rich mollusks is far from maintaining an equal stride with its demand – but luckily for seafood lovers with light wallets, the engineers at Jerusalem-based foodtech start-up Mermade Seafoods have developed a way to grow scallops in a much cheaper and more streamlined way.
Earlier this week, following the company’s completion of an oversubscribed $3.3 million seed round, Mermade unveiled a new method for growing cultivated scallops to maximize the use of materials required for production, which it calls “circular cellular agriculture technology.” This new method improves upon those typically employed by meat cultivators by recycling the cultivated cells’ growth medium.
With its innovative and novel technique, Mermade expects that it can streamline the global scallop market and provide a high quality, tasty product at prices far lower than what is currently available.
