Damn! A Dem mayor who's not tolerating crime? What's the world coming to? [NYPOST] The New Orleans Police Department has deployed anti-looting teams throughout the city — which is currently without power — in an attempt to stop criminals from destroying local businesses.
"#NOPD has deployed anti-looting teams across the city in order to protect our citizens’ property as we continue the recovery process," the department announced in a tweet. "Looting will NOT be tolerated and encourage everyone to be good neighbors and say something when you see something."
While videos circulated on social media of some New Orleans businesses appearing to be cleaned out by looters, Mayor LaToya Cantrell emphasized at a presser on Monday that "there is no widespread looting operation going on throughout the city of New Orleans," and vowed to lock up anyone caught in the act.
Cantrell confirmed that the police department has already arrested some individuals.
"My directive has been very clear: Lock ’em up," she said. "We will not tolerate it and we have not tolerated it. So we have apprehended those individuals associated with the looting that we have been able to identify, but there is no widespread looting going on in the city of New Orleans."
She instead chose to highlight the good Samaritans who’ve helped their neighbors since the hurricane passed.
"What we do have that’s widespread are residents who are neighbors, who are understanding and exhibiting the spirit of humility, of empathy, who are clearing up their lawns, who are servicing their community. That’s widespread in the city of New Orleans."
The city suffered widespread damage, including in its iconic French Quarter as a result of the Category 4 hurricane, and the true extent of the damage has yet to be realized.
The storm has claimed the lives of at least two individuals so far.

Bearing in mind that the police and fire stations and hospitals are running on emergency generators, if at all.

This would be the same NOPD that was up to its ears in the Katrina looting. But let's not lick a gift horse in the mouth - being on the anti-looting team is a sweet gig. You get first pick of all the loot, both stolen and pre-stolen.
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The CDC has released new, inclusive language that they want the American public to use in place of lots of already extant words that we typically use to describe individuals or groups. Essentially, in place of single words that are used, the CDC wants us to put the word "person" first, before the descriptor, except in the areas where they believe that group identity supersedes individual identity, as in race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation.
There are many examples of this, in many categories, such as "Corrections & Detentions," where words for "prisoner," "criminal," and others are to be replaced with "People/persons who are incarcerated or detained," or "Persons in pre-trial or with charge." In the category of "Disability," terms like "Differently abled" should be replaced with "People with disabilities/a disability." "Drug-users/addicts/drug abusers," etc., should be instead "Persons who use drugs/people who inject drugs."
The idea behind this is clear even without reading the CDC's preamble: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention want Americans to see and think about each other as people first, before they consider the person's condition. The CDC's intention is to humanize us, and seem to believe that their function is to tell us how to speak, and how to think, in order to do that.
However, women persons who identify as female are made to be loved, not understood... it is poorly designed, and will only be replaced by new missives in very short time.
The CDC has as its mission to protect public health, "to protect America from health, safety and security threats, both foreign and in the US." But they also write that they have the goal of "Promoting healthy and safe behaviors, communities and environment." It must be under this aspect of their purview that they have suggested that Americans change their language. Defund the language police!

The whole idea is to constantly change the language. You can tell at a glance who is and is not in your tribe. Changing it makes everyone stay on their toes and you can see who pays attention and who doesn't. Moreover it's a useful form of mind control, getting people used to the idea that external forces may control what they think and say.

WTF has CDC have to do with language? Is it becoming the Center for Decontamination of Colloquialisms?
Implicit in this is the assertion that the American population is largely mentally ill, just because they say some things that are 'hurtful' to some whiny attention wh0res. Intrusive, fascist gaslighting by federal agencies, ordered by Gawd knows who and why.
How far is it to:
'Shhh... This is to protect you from thinking too hard.'

Given their new emphasis on "gun violence research," how long before they start asking the guns what their pronouns are?

What if we don't comply with their idea of the type of language we should use? I don't give a damn if they know what side I'm on, I am their enemy .

phuque the CDC, they have NO authority, as per the Supreme Courts latest ruling...

I'm old enough to remember when we used to refer to "disabled" people as "crippled." Then that was deemed too cruel, so we had to call them disabled, or "differently abled" or something.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] ...said teachers should only teach on Zoom for four hours a day says it doesn't matter kids don't know their times tables because they learned about BLM riots in 2020 instead They're paid to teach, but that doesn't say what they're teaching. God help those poor Chinese kids who have to go through life not knowing about the BLM riots. They'll have to piss their educations away with math and physics and that sort of thing. Look for the union label, bub.
Cecily Myart Cruz is the head of the United Teachers Los Angeles union
She quit teaching in 2014 to work in the union and became president in February 2020, a month before schools shut down around America
She has however fought Gavin Newsom on his plans to reopen them - which are among the slowest in the country - and claims they are racist
In a profile with Los Angeles Magazine, she brushed off the educational harm the last year has done to kids
'There is no such thing as learning loss. Our kids didn’t lose anything. It’s OK that our babies may not have learned all their times tables. They learned resilience,' she said
She previously said teachers shouldn't teach remote on Zoom for more than four hours because it was bad for kids to be on screens for so long
She also said reopening schools was racist and would harm minority communities which have higher COVID case numbers
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Just one day after the last of US troops left Afghanistan, President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity, except maybe for abandoning Afghanistan... addressed the nation on the situation within Afghanistan including his plans to remove the remaining Americans from the country, taking a moment to slam former President 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...... in the process.
Biden applauded his administration's success in ending "the longest war in American history," adding that "we completed one of the biggest airlifts in history, with more than 120,000 people evacuated to safety."
"That number is more than double what most experts thought were possible," Biden continued. "Only the United States had the capacity and the will and the ability to do it, and we did it today."
In regards to the August 31 withdrawal deadline, Biden stated that the "assumption was that more than 300,000 Afghan national security forces that we had trained over the past two decades, and equipped, would be a strong adversary in their civil wars with the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... "That assumption, that the Afghan government would be able to hold on for a period of time beyond the military drawdown turned out not to be accurate," Biden added.
Biden claimed that the military was ready for all events that may occur, even the case of the Afghan military and government folding, and that he had planned for all contingencies.
He stated that his administration reached out to Americans within Afghanistan 19 times since March with warnings about the situation in the country and about evacuations.
Of the 120,000 people evacuated from Afghanistan, Biden said around 5,500 were Americans. He assured the nation that they were able to get 90 percent of Americans out that wanted to leave, noting that many Americans who stayed are dual citizens of both countries and have deep roots in the war-torn nation.
"For those remaining Americans, there is no deadline. We remain committed to get them out if they want to come out," said Biden. "We will make arrangements to get them out if they so choose."
He assured the public that troops and officials were working around the clock to get Americans out of the country, noting that sometimes Americans were walked by troops to the airport.
Biden addressed the timeline of the evacuations, blaming it in part on a deal signed by former President Donald Trump that looked to get troops out of Afghanistan by May 1.
"Let me be clear. Leaving August 31 is not due to an arbitrary deadline. It was designed to save American lives," Biden said.
"My predecessor, the former president, signed an agreement with the Taliban to remove US troops by May 1, just months after I was inaugurated," said Biden.
Biden noted that the agreement did not include a requirement for the Taliban to work out a "cooperative government arrangement" but authorized the release of "5,000 prisoners," many of whom were affiliated with the Taliban and aided in taking over the country.
Biden added that when he came into office, the Taliban was at its largest military strength since 2001.
Biden said he was left with a simple decision from the previous administration. Either leave by May 1, under the previous agreement that stated the Taliban wouldn't attack US forces if they left, or stay in Afghanistan and "commit another tens of thousands more troops."
"I take responsibility for the decision," said Biden slamming the critics of his withdrawal efforts.
"There still would have been a rush to the airport. A breakdown in confidence and control of the government." said Biden, referring to if these evacuations had been held in June or July. He left without taking questions.

One consolation is, he was left holding a turd in his hands and everybody will always remember just that image of him.
Let's be honest, there was always going to be a pullout. It was going to be messy in some way. But Biden has made it worse by bringing Afghans home, many of whom will turn out to be ISIS and Paki plants. If this clusterfcuk doesn't see a Republican in office by 2024, something resulting from it shall.

Let's be honest, there was always going to be a pullout.
The Pentagon generals fought President Trump’s orders on the subject for four years, when they could have been organizing the thing, yes. And then President Biden dramatically rejected those plans while the generals fought him, with the result that today embassy staff are trying to stop self-organized private rescue attempts that need not have been necessary.
The Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...the gang of subgeniuses trying to pass themselves off as the adults in charge of the series of calamities characteristic of the administration of a mentally challenged geriatric case... wants credit for the Afghanistan evacuation as measured by the sheer number of people it flew out amid a security and humanitarian crisis of its own making.

[The Last Refuge] There have been some recent reports about hospitals, doctors and health officials now refusing to treat U.S. patients with vitamin D, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine and another effective therapeutics. A recent notation about HHS changing liability waivers under the PREP Act, might provide some insight.
"Enacted in December 2005, the PREP Act authorizes the Secretary of HHS (Secretary) to issue a declaration (called a PREP Act declaration) that provides immunity from tort liability (except for willful misconduct) for claims of loss caused, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from administration or use of countermeasures to diseases, threats and conditions determined by the Secretary to constitute a present, or credible risk of a future public health emergency to entities and individuals involved in the development, manufacture, testing, distribution, administration, and use of such countermeasures." (link)
A PREP Act declaration is specifically for the purpose of providing immunity from tort liability, and is different from, and not dependent on, other emergency declarations.
A COVID watchdog group recently noted: "It appears that the Prep Act had been amended such that private hospitals and entities were covered in their actions taken with Covid-19 patients and relieved of all liability as long as they were prescribing ’Covered Countermeasures’. ie. NIH approved medications. This may be why hospitals are refusing to use effective COVID treatments like vitamin D, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, etc"
In short the CDC in its highly documented questionable C-19 wisdom. Repeatedly called into question by almost a dozen of Top National Medical R&D Groups looking into viable inexpensive alternative treatments and prevention for C-19.
Continues to cover its numerous mistakes and push even greater use of a clearly Known & Verified 6 to 8 month Seasonal Vaccine over other viable alternatives.
[NYPOST] If moderate Democrats, furious over the disastrous Afghanistan pullout, want to ensure the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know... doesn’t produce any more overseas disasters, they should demand the head of National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
He’s reportedly the only top adviser who fully agreed with the president’s decision to pull out all US forces. More trouble lurks if he stays in the job, reinforcing rather than challenging President Joe The Big Guy Biden Continued on Page 49

Moderate Democrats? Oh, you mean like Romney, Chaney, et al.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
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
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
