I don't know about ALL night, but the crane drove in and was being positioned @0230 today. There was active staff moving about on the site before and after.
[WyomingNewsNow] One wind farm in Glenrock and two from the Saratoga area have partnered with the Casper Regional Landfill to dispose of their old wind turbine blades.
More than 900 blades will be brought to the landfill beginning now until the end of next spring.
The Casper Solid Waste Manager, Cynthia Langston, said that though most turbine blades can be reused, there are some that are simply un-recyclable.
"Ninety percent of the turbines are completely reclaimed, recycled, and reused, but there is ten percent that is fiberglass, so those are coming to us from three different farms in the state."
Langston said that though the motor houses can be crushed, the blades are too strong.
To save space, they cut each blade into three separate parts before transporting them, then stack them on each other to be buried.
Expect to see more blades come to the landfill at least until the end of next spring as more turbines are replaced or decommissioned.

During the German Reunification there was a story that the old E German Trabant's had a "duroplast body" made of recycled "Mystery Stuff". Un-recyclable mystery stuff. They ended up compressing it into structural building blocks and using that to build walls lining the Autobahns.

Makes one wonder how many elections are legitimately won by the Dems. The Dems agenda only offers riots in the streets, anger, lies, no jobs, poverty, division, corruption, higher taxes, and the destruction of American.

I would like to see a rundown of how much which countries contribute to these numbers. The idea of a foreigner was not a big deal to me growing up, as my mom and aunt were Canadian (not even naturalized until I was in middle school), but I know that most of the immigrants nowadays come from third world hellholes rather than places that are relatively similar and English speaking.
Similarly, if there was evidence that these people were blending in and adopting American culture, I wouldn't care so much. As it is, it is a very big deal to me because they are trying to morph this country into the same hellish little nightmare that they came from (especially those from the Middle East and Latin America).

The model has flipped: it used to be heavily weighted toward Europe, including an usually high percentage of Irish immigrants plus Russian and Soviet Jewish refuseniki, but now us heavily weighted toward Mexico and Central America.
Mexico provides close to a third of the total and slightly over half of the illegals.
Central American countries provide another 10+ percent of the total and another quarter of the illegals.
The remaining legal immigrants are weighted toward the Caribbean and Asia, who together make up maybe a quarter of the total legal immigrant population.
The remaining quarter of legal immigrants come from Rest of World i.e. small percentages from 50+ nations across South America, Africa, Middle East and Europe.
[IsraelTimes] China has demanded that Washington drop sanctions imposed on Chinese companies and executives for transporting Iranian oil.
The foreign ministry criticizes the use of US laws against Chinese companies and calls on the Trump administration to "immediately correct the wrong approach." Easy answer: "Don't use US Dollars"
A ministry front man, Geng Shuang, says China’s dealings with Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... are in line with international law "and must be respected."
The penalties announced yesterday by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo apply to six Chinese companies and their chief executives. They include units of major Chinese state-owned companies.
Geng says Washington "disregards the legitimate rights and interests of all parties and wields the stick of sanctions at will. It tramples on the basic norms governing international relations."

This goes too show how long the US has pandered too every one in the world pretty much. No one ever seems too ask for anything they always demand it.

Or maybe not.
US Citizens are pandered by their representative government.
The US Government is pimped by foreign governments for the benefit of their clients(?)
[Rudaw] Protestors demanding government action on postgraduate unemployment were hosed down with Iraqi security force water cannons on Wednesday, in an act condemned by a national human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... commission as an act "against freedom of expression."
Iraqi master’s degree and PhD holders have been protesting outside ministry buildings in Baghdad since June, calling for measures to ease unemployment among postgraduates, including an increase in public sector jobs.

Guess they didn't use China's trick of adding water color dye to mark the Hong Kong protesters.

Then there will be a shooting someplace and the parents go berserk trying to get ahold of their child. See Mother Bear, See School Official, See School Official run run run.

What did school kids do before they had cell phones? Learn?
I saw one of those Fox interview on the college campus (Northridge). They asked around 5-6 students to rank five leaders from worst to best. They had Reagan, Clinton, Obama, Trump, Hitler, Zuckerberg, Stalin, etc. in the mix but only 5 at a time.
One guy out of the 5-6 students knew anything about anything. It was hard to watch except for the one informed student. I wonder if these other students vote?

Put them in cubicles or have online school at home. Use the standard approach to creating webinars, grind all the opportunity for personal soap boxing out of the content. Get rid of the barrels of fish that the school shooters like to line up on. Get rid of the teachers unions. Get rid of all the administrators. Get rid of all their pensions. And that's just for starters...

Hear, hear MM. I'd just add one thing - a student should study from books/computer programs with, occasional direction from a supervisor. Can't/not interested, go for vocational training via apprenticeship.

I've always said that School should *not* be free. The parents should be required to pay something - even if it's on a sliding scale - so that they have some actual 'skin in the game'. Yes - even that welfare mother will need to pay $20/month/kid to school. When they do they might ask: "What the hell am I paying for?" which is a legitimate question all parents should ask.
If the parents have to write a $300 / kid check every school year they might pay more attention to what they are paying for.
[NY Post] It's now against the law in New York City to threaten someone with a call to immigration authorities or refer to them as an "illegal alien" when motivated by hate. I can't wait for this to hit the courts
The restrictions ‐ violations of which are punishable by fines of up to $250,000 per offense ‐ are outlined in a 29-page directive released by City Hall's Commission on Human Rights.
"‘Alien' ‐ used in many laws to refer to a ‘noncitizen' person ‐ is a term that may carry negative connotations and dehumanize immigrants, marking them as ‘other,'" reads one passage of the memo. "The use of certain language, including ‘illegal alien' and ‘illegals,' with the intent to demean, humiliate, or offend a person or persons constitutes discrimination."
The directive goes on to list several examples of acts and comments that would run afoul of the restrictions, including harassing people over their accents or grasp of English, or wielding the threat of a call to Immigration and Customs Enforcement as a tool of hate.[NY Post] It's now against the law in New York City to threaten someone with a call to immigration authorities or refer to them as an "illegal alien" when motivated by hate.

The term is enshrined in the statute. It's 100% neutral. It's used by lawyers, judges and law enforcement officials all the time because it is the precise, clear, legally accurate and universally understood way to describe someone who is illegally resident in this country and therefore subject to fine, imprisonment or deportation.
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.
