Vladimir Putin says the "persecution of President Trump" has exposed the US political system as "Rotten"

[US Oil & Gas Assoc.) Don’t believe them. The national movement to ban gas appliances is already underway. Dark-money leftist environmental groups and elitist elected officials are going to kick in our front doors and seat themselves at the very epicenter of our family life — right in our own kitchen. If successful they will be able to start dictating every other aspect of our lives; right down to how we prepare our meals, do our laundry, and heat our homes. This is a grotesque invasion of personal privacy. It is where we draw the line.

Gas stove or furnace? They'll just 'condemn' my property. I cannot live there. I cannot sell it. It soon becomes the property of the State.
I too, am now homeless and on the street. It all happened so quickly.

The truly sick part is if they can get a large population commie state to go along with it, it changes the overall economics of manufacturing stoves.
Once again, who cares who you voted for or more ridiculous, 'Why'? All they need is a coterie in a commie state legislature and Bingo.

[REGNUM] The US Conference of Catholic Bishops postponed the adoption of a document on pastoral work with indigenous peoples, fearing that an apology for the Church's past policies would lead to a wave of lawsuits claims. Apologizing for the sins of our fathers has become a risky business - and it's worth looking into why.

No, father apologies are impractical. Based on a lifetime of experience with my father, that would require a full time employee with a staff. I haven’t got that type of time.

""What do you mean when you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying: 'The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children's teeth are set on edge'?
3 "As I live," says the Lord God, "you shall no longer use this proverb in Israel.
4 "Behold, all souls are Mine; The soul of the father As well as the soul of the son is Mine; The soul who sins shall die."
--Ezekiel 18:2-4

[AmericanThinker] I grew up in a world in which most authorities could be trusted most of the time. True, it was already a cliché that Washington, D.C. was full of liars. And yes, everyone knew about medical malpractice. Even people who weren’t Marxists understood that corporations, from time to time, were guilty of committing genuine wrongs against the public. Still, overall, the people who were running things were usually accountable. There was an ingrained, unspoken sense of decency and social responsibility long before the current twisted understanding of social justice (i.e., revenge) had a chance to muscle it out. People in authority may have seen themselves as a bit better than the common run of humanity, but they didn’t quite see themselves as an entirely different species. They were the best and brightest of us, but not yet an utterly alien aristocracy.

Oh, I don't know...
my local gas station/grocery/grill/post office is as good as it ever was. Reminds me of my youth with a Nehi orange soda and a moon pie for lunch.
[FOX] First lady Jill Biden was blasted Wednesday night after posting a video to X showing dancers tapping around the holiday-decorated White House, whose theme this year is "Magic, Wonder and Joy."
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the first lady shared the video from the official @FLOTUS account, along with a caption.
"A bit of magic, wonder, and joy brought to you by the talented tappers of Dorrance Dance, performing their playful interpretation of The Nutcracker Suite. Enjoy!" the first lady's post read.
But social media observers didn't seem to be enjoying the musical content.

“I am a white tap dancer with Black cultural ancestors in a society that privileges white people and whiteness,” Michelle Dorrance, the company’s founder, writes in a note on the troupe’s website titled, “Why antiracism work is important to me.”
The comprehensive “antiracism” section of Dorrance Dance’s website includes links to numerous far-left organizations, such as Black Lives Matter and INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence — the latter group trumpets the antisemitic slogan, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free!” on its website.
Dorrance Dance encourages visitors to “get involved in abolition work” linking to essays titled, “What Is Prison Abolition?” and “How I Became a Police Abolitionist.”
The prison abolition movement considers immigrant detention centers, city and county jails and state and federal prisons, “social evils” that “must be eradicated.” Link

Somehow, given the moral vapidity of that entire family, a tasteless trailer-trash video of prancing gays and every imaginable Woke-themed costume on display is the epitome of this administration. I wonder what medication the Secret Service must provide to overcome the widespread outbreak of gag-reflex and gurd that each day brings?

Seeking, when the Volcano erupted in the pacific last year it raised the water in the atmosphere by over 10%. This caused an immediate cooling effect on our atmosphere, it absorbed the heat, then once stabilized out planets temp went up as you say because it retains the heat. It was also responsible for the wet winter we had last year and the experts, not the climate gas lighters, are saying we will have for the next few years until the atmosphere gets back to normal.

[RealClearDefense] Not what you thought it was and not what it needs to be
The Russian invasion of Ukraine, along with increased tensions in the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific region, has generated many debates. Debates about the stability of the international order, the cohesion of NATO, and many others. But for the United States, one significant debate regards the size and expansibility of the American defense industrial base. It’s a discussion that is well past due.
Last year, Under Secretary of Defense Colin Kahl testified to Congress that, “What the Ukraine conflict showed is that, frankly, our defense industrial base was not at the level that we needed it to be to generate munitions.” But the challenge with ammunition is more symptom than cause, in economic terms something of a “leading indicator.”
The ammunition shortage reflects the reality of a production base that over the past thirty years has shrunk from sixteen to five ammunition plants. But that is merely a specific reflection of a general concern applicable to aircraft, surface ships, submarines, missiles, and ground combat vehicles.
Simply put, the basic question is this: Is the current American defense industrial base large enough? And if not, what should we do about it?
Let’s go back to the origins of an enduring myth – the enormous size of the American “military industrial complex.”
When President Dwight Eisenhower gave his farewell address in January 1961, his comments included the caution, “we must guard against the acquisition of un-warranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex.” Although Eisenhower also cautioned against a lack of military preparedness, his “military-industrial complex” comment became the line for which the speech is remembered. And despite the passage of more than sixty years, the phrase has endured even though the “complex” itself has not.
At the time of Eisenhower’s speech some fifteen companies in the Fortune 100 were engaged in the defense effort. But, as a group, those fifteen were operating at a loss as the companies and their pentagon customers were still finding a moving “price point.” The defense business had changed after World War II, shifting from a largely government domain – now known as the “arsenal system” -- to the commercial sector. Tellingly, Eisenhower’s first two defense secretaries, Charles Wilson, and Neil McElroy, were former corporate executives.
When President Ronald Reagan initiated his “defense build-up” in 1981, the defense industrial base had experienced enormous growth. There were over forty major companies engaged in it, fourteen of them able to design and manufacture high-performance military aircraft. Today there are only three.
Since the end of the Cold War, the American defense industrial base has compressed from those forty or more firms down to five, driven by changing strategic circumstances and federal budget priorities.
The 2023 Fortune data finds that in its top 100 there are only three firms listed in the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) sector – Raytheon Technologies, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin. In the larger Fortune 500 there are eight, and in the Fortune 1000 there are sixteen.

I assumed that they were remote working. There used to be a good Rugby Pub down there. The neighborhood is sort of upscale. Skid row is not too far. There is room for the requisite dive bars, strip clubs and tattoo parlors. Planning note - all the drawings might need Spanish versions and versions that can be read by someone with 3rd grade reading capabilities.

I can see it now, some "Save The Sea Weed" Eco-Freaks, will demand it be shutdown. Then, Biden will direct the US Navy to have it built by Communist China. Hunter will be the point man for the building.

Where is the people to build them?
The next USN frigate will be an Italian design because US just keep making Arleigh Burke destroyers for 40 years, it is after all a 1980's design and lost know-how to design a frigate/destroyer.
[WhatFinger] Mistakes Were NOT Made: An Anthem for Justice The Armenian Genocide was not a mistake. Holodomor was not a mistake. The Final Solution was not a mistake. The Great Leap Forward was not a mistake. The Killing Fields were not a mistake. Name your genocide—it was not a mistake. That includes the Great Democide of the 2020s. To imply otherwise is to give Them the out they are seeking. It was not botched. It was not bungled. It was not a blunder. It was not incompetence. It was not lack of knowledge.
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.
