Droughts, Delays, and the Global Economy - AFNN

Droughts, Delays, and the Global Economy - AFNN - John F. Di Leo 

"...The current drought in Central America has caused a severe water shortage in Gatun Lake, which supplies water for the Panama Canal...
With the lake suffering much lower levels than usual, the water in the locks is not high enough for fully laden modern vessels...

• The delays have increased as water levels drop; ships wait a week or more, as much as three weeks of dead time. 
• And with ship lease rates averaging between $50,000 and $100,000 per day, a week of unplanned idle time means somebody’s books are really taking a bath.
• The Panama Canal could handle 32 ship crossings per day just a month ago… Panama reduced that number to only 22 per day on December 1. On February 1, they expect to have to further drop their maximum to 18 ship crossings per day...

But it IS the fault of the Biden-Harris regime’s kind of policies – socialist policies. 

• Destructive, big government, tax-and-spend, anti-market policies.

You see, what Central America really needs – or should we say, what the world really needs in Central America – is a second canal. 

• Why is Panama still the only one after a hundred years?...

Unfortunately, Nicaragua is a socialist country, run by semi-stalinist communists. 

They can’t print the money needed for such a project, and they sure can’t raise the money needed for it...

Michael Smith - Just read that two of the three people who burned... | Facebook

"Just read that two of the three people who burned down the Wendy's in Atlanta where police shot and killed Rayshard Brooks got a $500 fine and no jail time.
Brooks was another bad dude who chose to fight police, strip a taser from one officer and aim it at him, so he got shot.
BLM rioted, of course, and three rioters decided to up their game to arson and torched the Wendy's for the racial crime of having a parking lot.
Cost them $500.
Contrast that with...

• the J6 protesters who are getting years, sometimes decades long sentences. 
• How about the ones who have spent years in a DC jail without trial? 
• Or Trump prosecutor Jack Smith trying to get the names of any person who ever liked a Trump tweet?
• Maybe having a FBI swat team in armored vehicles (and CNN) raid your house at 6 AM after you had offered to turn yourself in the way they did Roger Stone?
• How about getting your home raided and being taken away in restraints for praying at an abortion clinic - in front of your wife and kids?
• How about the dude who posted a meme about Hillary and got 7 years?

"Justice" has become a matter of skin color and party affiliation and as such, there is no justice.

Explains much.

 

Biden threatens business owners who raise prices to keep afloat during inflation

Biden threatens business owners who raise prices to keep afloat during inflation: 

Those who don't learn from -- or are in any condition to remember -- history are apparently condemned to repeat it. All three presidents who held office during the 1970s -- Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter -- all faced issues with inflation. All tried price and/or wage controls to get it under control. All, rather predictably, failed. President Joe Biden either didn't learn anything from that malaise of a decade or has (rather plausibly) forgotten it. He's taking the same approach, albeit with a slightly different tack: Instead of implementing price controls directly, he's taking to the bully pulpit to tell those lying dog-faced pony soldier corporations not to mess with Corn Pop and start messing with prices or they'll have something to worry about, jack.

Chicago migrants blast Biden ignoring them: We need permits too

Chicago migrants blast Biden ignoring them: We need permits too: 

At least 20,000 migrants have poured into Chicago since August 2022 with growing concerns over housing them during the winter. As for undocumented immigrants who have previously lived in the city, they are calling for equal treatment. DACA recipient Erendira Rendon insisted, "We deserve a job permit. It is only fair." "Biden, listen to us, we want to work without fear, like our Venezuelan brothers and sisters," Consuelo Martinez implored during a rally. Thousands of immigrants marched in Washington, D.C., last month demanding Biden provide work permits for the additional millions of undocumented migrants still in the country.

Melugin also noted that there was a sunken panga boat in the same area.

How George Soros funds anti-Semitism | Blaze Media

How George Soros funds anti-Semitism | Blaze Media: 

In his 1995 book, “Soros on Soros,” the Hungarian-American financier declared that Zionism “doesn't appeal” to him because it is “the founding of a nation [Israel] where the Jews are in the majority.” For Soros, "being a Jew [is] being in a minority." He also asserted moral equivalence between the Jews’ response to attacks and that of their attackers, saying that sometimes Jews choose to "identify with their oppressors" and even "try to become like them."

In 2003, at a Yivo Institute for Jewish Research event, Soros blamed the rise of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hatred in Europe on the George W. Bush administration's war on Islamic terrorism and "likened the behavior of Israel [in defending itself against Arab terrorist attacks] to that of the Nazis, invoking some psychological jargon about victims becoming victimizers." He was booed, and many walked out of the event.

Why is the "west" allowing this? And, at the same time, supporting many of the same hell-hole country's leaders?!!

Gatestone Institute - UN and Hamas: Partners in Crime - by Robert Williams
"To understand how the UN effectively runs the Hamas propaganda war, it is important to know that the UN, through its agency for Palestinian refugees, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), is effectively embedded with Hamas in the Gaza Strip...

• "The UN has 13,000 employees in tiny Gaza. They know exactly what's going on... They all knew Hamas' terror infrastructure was in the hospital compound, where Israel wouldn't attack. They lied to the world for 16 years. To paint Israel as evil." — Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, November 16, 2023.
• [T]he UN has sustained an incessant campaign, especially on social media, that accuses Israel of deliberately targeting schools, children, civilians, hospitals and healthcare workers. While those are protected from attack during war by international law, that protection does not apply to schools, hospitals and other civilian sites that are used for military purposes...
  

When a rocket fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad exploded outside Gaza's Al-Ahli hospital, Hamas claimed within minutes that Israel had bombed the hospital and falsely asserted that hundreds of people had been killed there. 

The United Nations rushed to blame Israel, and UN Secretary-General António Guterres used his speech at the Belt and Road Summit in China to condemn Israel for the explosion...

Forget the ‘tripledemic.’ The U.S. is headed for a ‘syndemic’ this winter—and experts warn we’re not prepared 

"COVID will likely reach levels this winter not yet seen this year, combining with surges of

• flu, 
• RSV, and 
• other pathogens 

for a “syndemic” winter not so different from last year’s “tripledemic,” experts say.
Raj Rajnarayanan, assistant dean of research and associate professor at the New York Institute of Technology campus in Jonesboro, Ark., told Fortune that the U.S. is a “sitting duck” in the face of a “syndemic” winter.
It’s a term he prefers to “tripledemic,” as it recognizes the impact of more than three pathogens on the healthcare system, and the need for policies to address the phenomenon, in addition to medical interventions... ("policies" means "more money". Unaccountable money!)

• The climate lobby is now aiming to use taxes and regulation to restrict your meat consumption. - By Allysia Finley

"Climate has become religion for the global left. 

Yet unlike most organized religions that are genuinely committed to helping our fellow man, today’s climate movement figuratively burns heretics at the stake and demands communal sacrifices that serve no purpose but to immiserate humanity.
Consider the calls at the United Nations’s COP28 climate confab this month in Dubai to reduce meat consumption. 

• Banishing fossil fuels and gasoline-powered cars isn’t enough to achieve the climate lobby’s net-zero promised land. 
• Now people must give up their rib-eye steaks and pepperoni pizza...
