Trust the government to protect you!-----Candice Miller: Rumors rampant on Detroit flooding cause
Candice Miller: Rumors rampant on Detroit flooding cause
"A frustrated Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller said Wednesday she's waiting for answers on whether human error played a role in the weekend failure of the Detroit's Conners Creek Pump Station that contributed to massive flooding in Detroit and the Grosse Pointes.
Miller said she's heard second-hand reports that
- backup generators didn't work at the facility run by the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA)
- and that the outside gates wouldn’t open, keeping workers from turning on generators.
If true, she said she would have expected employees to ram the fence in such an emergency.
"The rumor mill is running rampant, I am asking the questions," Miller said.
"I would like to know the answers. If there are no answers, well I guess I got to know that, too. Then we will know that we are sort of on our own."...Read all.
Nancy Pelosi Short-Circuits During Speech - Louder With Crowder
Nancy Pelosi Short-Circuits During Speech - Louder With Crowder:
It shouldn't be funny to watch our leaders fall apart before our very eyes. Yet here we all are. Laughing as the president of the United States gets confused mid-story on the regular, makes up brand-new numbers, and forgets what we're supposed to be holding self-evident. Sadly, our puddingbrained president is NOT the only geriatric in the line of succession. There is also the 217-year-old Nancy Pelosi. Who at this point is more Botox than organism. Her programmers might need to download the latest updates. She can't handle all the lying without blowing a gasket.
Mental health crisis: Children at breaking point during COVID-19
Mental health crisis: Children at breaking point during COVID-19
"...In southeast Michigan, Marisa Springstead has sought more intensive mental-health services for her son, eventually filing suit.
She’s still fighting.
The photo has been blurred to shield the name of the school district.
Marisa Springstead’s son is 15 years old.
He now tops 200 pounds.
He has broken her nose and twisted her wrist, she said.
...This was true even before COVID-19.
But over the last 16 months, as the pandemic closed schools and isolated young people, a mental health system held together by good intentions and Scotch tape is failing tens of thousands of children in places like Michigan and its neighbor, Indiana, leaving many families to manage despairing children on their own, particularly in rural areas...Read all.

Our new overlords-----Trans-Riot In Los Angeles | Power Line
Trans-Riot In Los Angeles | Power Line
"At a Los Angeles spa, a “trans woman” used the women’s locker room and waved his unit around in front of a group that included small girls. The women were understandably unhappy.
Violence erupted between dueling protesters outside an upscale California spa Saturday after viral video showed a woman complaining about a transgender female being allowed to disrobe in the women’s section — allegedly exposing their penis in front of young children, according to reports.
***
“So, it’s OK for a man to go into the women’s section, show his penis around the other women, young little girls — underage — in your spa? Wi Spa condones that, is that what you’re saying?” the woman asks a counter employee.“He is a man. He is not a female. There are girls down there, other women who are highly offended by what they just saw and you did nothing. You sided with him,” the irate woman adds.
The incident led to dueling demonstrations in front of the spa. The trans activists were violent...Read all!
Yes, they hate America. And they hate you too!-----For July 4 NPR Portrays Declaration of Independence as Racist
"Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR) reluctantly repeated its tradition of staff reading the Declaration of Independence, this year framing its report to point out the “flaws” and racist elements of one of the most cherished U.S. documents.
- The left-wing media outlet said it started the tradition as “a way of marking Independence Day”:
...But a racist slur about Native Americans stayed in. The passage charges that King George III “excited domestic insurrections” among the colonists by Native Americans, who the founding document called “merciless Indian Savages.”...
The unedited Declaration of Independence actually states:
[King George] has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured[sic] to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions...Read all.

No Hansel, Just a Greta Fairytale | Homesteading Forum
"One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named Greta woke up to a perfect world, one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth.
- She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks. “What’s this?” she asked. “Pulverized willow bark,” replied her fairy godmother. “What happened to the carpet?” she asked. “The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response.
- Greta smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush her teeth where instead of a toothbrush, she found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fibre bristles. “Your old toothbrush?” noted her godmother, “Also nylon.”
- “Where’s the water?” asked Greta. “Down the road in the canal,” replied her godmother, ‘Just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it” “Why’s there no running water?” Greta asked, becoming a little peevish.
“Well,” said her godmother, who happened to teach engineering at MIT, “Where do we begin?”...Read all!

Whom to Believe: Big Brother or Your Lying Eyes? | The Pipeline
Whom to Believe: Big Brother or Your Lying Eyes? | The Pipeline
"... Among the minority who deal in facts is Mark Mills, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. If you haven’t already, it is well worth while keying in to his presentation on February 9, 2021 to the U.S. House Energy Subcommittee on Environment and Climate Change. Here’s just a taste:
- Building a single 100-MW wind farm requires some 30,000 tons of iron ore and 50,000 tons of concrete, as well as 900 tons of nonrecyclable plastics for the huge blades.
- A storage system to back-up such a wind farm would require using at least 10,000 tons of Tesla-class batteries.
- The tonnage in cement, steel, and glass is 150% greater for solar than for wind, for the same energy output.
- Under the scenarios for clean energy imagined by the World Bank, the 700 tons of neodymium currently mined would need to increase by between 1,000 and 4,000 percent. Indium by as much as 8000%. Cobalt by 300 to 800%. Lithium by more than 2,000%.
- The Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology Sydney, concluded last year that the supply of elements such as nickel, dysprosium, and tellurium will need to increase by 200 to 600%.
As Mills explains, while the minerals required are there, digging them up will be daunting and pricey. Count among the costs: environmental degradation; increased threats to the West’s national security in view of China’s dominance in many of the supply chains; the use of child labour in countries not so sensitive to human rights; the massive amounts of energy required to mine, transport and process these exotic minerals; and, the bottom line, the demise of reliable and affordable hydrocarbon power...Read all.

Massive Ransomware Attack May Impact Thousands of Victims
(Bloomberg) -- Just weeks after President Joe Biden implored Vladimir Putin to curb cyber crime, a notorious, Russia-linked ransomware gang has been accused of pulling off an audacious attack on the global software supply chain.

...Biden said he had ordered a “deep dive” by U.S. intelligence officials on what happened in the attacks.
