Attention whoring as she finds her life choices were not what she expected after scoring the big ticket and birthing the paycheck for life Archie. Your were a brief shiny thing after pissing on the Queens leg but now you are just another fading pretty thing whose grifter character has ruined a clueless royal who was trying to find relevance...
In 1966, a fire at Urta-Bulak gas field in Uzbekistan had been raging for 3 years. It pumped out 12 million m^3 every day, so the Soviets decided to... nuke it. A 30 kiloton yield explosive was inserted to 1500m depth and detonated to close off the well.https://t.co/UJzDv0fGp0pic.twitter.com/G1mG09yMSt
the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance
monitoring of Switzerland, since its first report about the country was published in 1998, is an illustrative example of the organization's persistent efforts -- and considerable success -- over the past two decades in limiting free speech in Europe.
Already in its first report on Switzerland, in 1998, ECRI -- despite admitting that "a decrease in manifestations of racism and intolerance has been noted over the last 2-3 years" and that "overt manifestations of [racial prejudices and xenophobia] are rather rare," told the Swiss media to promote specific narratives...
"ECRI is concerned that a climate of intolerance or xenophobia towards non-citizens and those who are different from the native Swiss population appears to persist". No substantial documentation was offered as basis for the allegation -- ECRI even criticized in the same report that "little information is systematically collected in Switzerland regarding the extent of racism and discrimination" -- but none seemed to be needed, as ECRI's motivation appeared to be political...
Throughout the years, ECRI has stressed the media's central role in promoting specific, politicized agendas.
ECRI noted that Swiss journalists already have a code in place that states that they "must avoid any allusion by text, image or sound to a person's ethnic or national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation as well as to any illness or physical or mental handicap that could be discriminatory in character."
As for the Internet, ECRI noted that Swiss authorities had informed the organization that they were "seeking cooperation with relevant Internet service providers to improve the identification of authors of hate speech and to have such content removed as quickly as possible..."
ECRI has done a good job helping Europeans kill free speech.
[FREEBEACON] A state ethics committee ruled on Friday that former Colorado governor and current Senate candidate John Hickenlooper ... former governor of Colorado, yet another of 2020's innumerable Dem candidates. His selling points include being less grabby than Biden, less Cherokee than Warren, assuming that's possible, and taller than Gillebrand... (D.) violated a ban on accepting gifts while in office.
The Colorado Independent Ethics Commission decided that Hickenlooper's flight on a campaign donor's private jet, as well as his attendance at a conference in Italia, violated the ban, according to the Colorado Sun. Hickenlooper initially refused to appear at the hearing, prompting the condemnation of a federal judge and members of the commission.
"If we allow this kind of special privately financed treatment for elected officials it just accentuates the cynicism in the public that led to Amendment 41," one commission member said. The amendment, adopted in 2006, placed a ban on elected officials accepting gifts while in office.
The commission unanimously voted to hold Hickenlooper in contempt of court after he refused to appear at a remote hearing. He became the first person in the state to be held in contempt by the commission, and he eventually appeared on Friday.
Hickenlooper defied both a judge's order and a subpoena from the commission to appear at the hearing. He claimed the remote format, adopted because of the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic, would not lead to a fair trial.
His Senate campaign spokeswoman also called the complaints "politically motivated."
[THEHILL] Republican operatives are attempting to link vulnerable Democrats to progressive members’ calls to disband police departments and reduce their budgets as they look to flip key swing districts in November.
Top progressive politicians and outside groups have called for substantial changes to the structure of U.S. law enforcement after the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in Minneapolis who died during an arrest after a police officer knelt on his neck.
Rep. Ilhan Omar ...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side... (D-Minn.) tweeted Friday: "The Minneapolis Police Department has proven themselves beyond reform. It’s time to disband them and reimagine public safety in Minneapolis."
Rep. Alexandria Boom Boom Ocasio-Cortez Dem Congressgirl from da Bronx in Noo Yawk and leader of the Mean Girl Caucus in Congress. One of the Great Minds of the 21st Century, she is known as much for her innaleck as for her dance moves. She is all in favor of socialism, even though she's fuzzy on the details. She was the inventor of the Green New Deal, though she doesn't talk about it much anymore... (D-N.Y.) also took to social media to blast New York’s police budget, tweeting: "If police budgets bought peace, the $6 billion NYPD budget would’ve bought the most sophisticated de-escalatory operation in the world. Clearly, it didn’t."

Abolish police?? Every major city doing this would be given over to the criminal element. I'd give it no more than a week without police before these progressive politicians would be begging for the police to return.
"Only time will tell!"
[ORLANDOSENTINEL] Val Demings’ meteoric rise from the Orlando Police Department to the halls of Congress and a starring role in the impeachment of President Donald Trump ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election... has reportedly landed her on the shortlist of contenders to join former Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... atop the Democratic ticket this fall.
But Demings’ background as a former police chief at a department that has been accused of using force excessively, including during her tenure, could prove a challenge on the national stage, particularly when people across the country are protesting in the streets against police brutality.
To national Democrats, Demings is a rising star who has already once taken on Trump. In Central Florida, she’s half of a political and law enforcement power couple, along with husband and Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings, himself a former Orlando police chief and county sheriff.
"One could argue she is uniquely qualified to help find solutions [and] help craft policies for departments across the country struggling to overcome the image that many of them use force recklessly, particularly against African Americans and other minorities," said Aubrey Jewett, a professor of political science at the University of Central Florida.
But, Jewett cautioned, many progressives "are already not that comfortable with Joe Biden. And if he picks someone who was a police chief — even though she’s an African American woman — that might be a deal-breaker for some of those voters."
As the nation has been roiled by protests since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis at the hands of police, Demings, 63, has touted her law enforcement credentials but also framed herself as a reformer with a strong connection to marginalized and minority communities.
"What happened to George Floyd should not have happened under any circumstances," Demings told the Orlando Sentinel on Friday. "It certainly was not a deadly force situation, yet deadly force was used."

Unfortunate, yes. Was the restraint part of the Minneapolis Police training?

Demings hubby and wife pretty much run Orange County, which will vote blue anyway, so I don't see the vote pickup here.

Of course, "some people" want another Valrangoutan influencing what goes on in the Oval Office...

[Bloomberg] Rod Rosenstein says he was kept in the dark about important parts of the probe.
He must now know who pulled down the shades. As a demonstration of his pure-hearted anger, a full and detailed list would be welcome.
The FBI’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential campaign has taken a beating in the last six months. Late last year, the Justice Department’s inspector general found the bureau’s application to eavesdrop on a former aide to then-candidate Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... ’s campaign was riddled with factual errors and omissions. The surveillance court that approved that warrant has barred the agents who submitted it from appearing before it. And last month the Justice Department dropped its case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
"Worse" than what? Worse than Waco, Ruby Ridge, 9/11, Nadal Hasan, the Tsarnaev Bros, Roger Stone, the FBI investigative team sent to Benghazi, the DNC IT repairman - Shahid Imran Awan & family, the Clinton 'home brew' IT servers......?
Is there one brave member of Trump’s cabinet who would move to initiate the 25th amendment to remove him from office? Now is the time to save our country before this would-be dictator takes us all down!

If Trump were the dictator that Mad Maxine and others claim he is, most of them would have disappeared long ago. Or be found hanging from lampposts.

Idiots such as Maxine, Nancy, et al., can't formulate any logical (winning) arguments, so it is just the usual use of emotional words (dictator, racist, xenophobe). When you hear that rubbish, you know they've lost the argument. But sadly, people out there believe that nonsense, the ones who [re-]elect these a-holes.

They'll circle back to Covid-19; us Star Trek fans call that 'rotating the shield frequencies'.
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] A three-judge appeals court panel heard arguments this week from Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do... ’s lawyer and Judicial Watch as the former secretary of state seeks to avoid a deposition about her private email server and the Benghazi attack talking points.
Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, argued Tuesday that the depositions of Clinton and Clinton's former chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, ordered by a D.C. district court judge was necessary to understand whether Clinton attempted to avoid the Freedom of Information Act when she improperly used a private server to conduct her State Department business and whether the agency adequately searched for all her emails. "We have no recollection of any of it"

[PJMedia] Employees of the cosmetic giant Estee Lauder have written a letter to Chairman William Lauder demanding that he fire board member Ronald Lauder because of his contributions to Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... and conservative causes. They are also demanding the $3 billion company show more support to black groups, including Black Lives Matter.
The company told employees they were doing all they can and that Ronald Lauder does not speak for Estee Lauder.
Seeking to destroy Ronald Lauder — a distinguished public servant who served as ambassador in the Reagan administration and is president of the World Jewish Congress — is an exercise in activist politics. Who will be targeted next?

They should read that article about all the interns at the major financial firm who turned in a petition complaining about the dress code and they wanted to wear sneakers like this one woman there. 25 of 26 interns signed it. Well, turns out the woman in sneakers was a vet injured by IED's and it was a medical accommodation and every intern that signed it got shown the door. #26 was smart.
[DAILYWIRE] The Minneapolis mayor is asking for federal help cleaning up and rebuilding his city after rioters caused at least $55 million worth of damage through looting, burning, and defacing public and private property.
That cost estimate is likely to increase in the coming days as government officials continue to tally the damage done in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Mayor Jacob Frey said according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and the state’s congressional delegation are also pushing the Trump administration and Congress for funding.
On Tuesday, city officials released an initial estimate of $55 million in damage done to at least 220 buildings. The mayor said that the number was likely a lowball estimate and that the total cost of the riots across Minneapolis and the state capital of St. Paul is likely to be "tens, if not hundreds of millions" of dollars.
"We will do everything we can as we shift to recovery mode," Frey said, according to the Star Tribune. "We’re recovering from crises sandwiched on top of each other, from COVID-19 to the police killing and then the looting which took place afterward."
City and state officials are attempting to get financial support from Congress or through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Neither option looks promising, Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN) said.

City employees are paid as much as $191,000. And there are thousands of city employees. The Mayor is paid about $156,000.
So what you have is a bunch of crooks running and working for the city whose only goal is to reduce services, increase pay checks and run up a huge deficit ($1.6 billion in debt) with no rainy day savings for emergencies.
Emergencies like riots. Riots that Velma Korbel, Director Civil Rights, is paid $158,531 to prevent.
#11
Ten $100,000 salaries of bureaucratic functionaries is $1,000,000. With benefits and pension promises maybe $2m? So dump 250 admins and section heads.

All that matters is, people in 49 other states had no say in your comfy union deals. Taxation without representation? We do have it now, but it's not a forever thing.

Use the cash you're de-funding the police with.

Hopefully the Feds won't cave. Out here in the rural counties of MN, though we're still screwed. State gov't almost top to bottom Democrats - guess who'll end up paying for Mppls rebuild? Reminds me of a line I read in Churchill's History of the English-speaking People: "They were almost entirely democratic and much given to robbery."
#15
That's smacks of a shakedown. Riots---> money. Reinforcing bad behavior. We are and have been paying the bills for these poorly managed leftwing money pits for a long time. The looting, violence and burning should have been stopped; such things tend to be costly. Perhaps when the citizens of Minneapolis have to pay this bill, it won't occur again. Maybe they won't elect the dingbat politicians who are simpatico with the mobs, street thugs and criminals.
#18
Minneapolis city council just disbanded the police department. Considering they technically did this when they ran out of the police station they are making it official. Lots of homes for sale in 5,4,3....

Been trying to imagine this "community public safety" the moonbats are talking about. Near as I can figure it'll end up being gangs of officially recognized vigilantes.. or more like the Mafia families.. This is our turf - stay out. Can't see that there's be much actual city oversight or co-ordination between "territories".
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
