Santa Fe is the upper class deep blue city where Left Coasties have second homes (along with the associated high living costs they bring with them and housing displacements). Meanwhile, the people actually sitting on plutonium is Los Alamos where they store the stuff because of obstruction to properly dispose of it at Yucca Mountain NV. That's when the Forest Service isn't trying to set fire to the place.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A beloved high school janitor got the surprise of a lifetime after a group of students gifted him a Jeep Wrangler - his dream car.
Francis Apraku, a custodian at James Madison High School in Vienna, Virginia,
…a nice, upper middle class bedroom community for the DC crowd…
was left speechless after students banded together to give him a birthday gift on Monday.
The group of freshman fundraised for months on GoFundMe and ended up exceeding expectations after raising more than $20,000 for Apraku. They also got support from a local car dealer, Andy, who helped them pick out his dream vehicle.
Apraku, who dropped to the ground in complete shock, expressed how grateful he was to God and the students for the gift.
With tears in his eyes, the custodian told Fox5: 'I will give thanks to Almighty God for making today for me. I hope today is a great day for me.'
He turned around to face the boys and said: 'And also, I thank my junior brothers around me - through them this dream has come true.'
'May God richly bless them and make all their dreams come true in their life.
One of the students, Bennett, told the outlet that the group 'never thought it would come this far' and revealed that they collected $5,000 the first day.
Another student, Logan, said they received $19,000 in about three months and after six months they collected more than $20,000 for the custodian.
'Ever since we met Francis he has been super kind and friendly and sometimes even says prayers for us,' the boys said on the donation page.
Apraku said he will never forget the day the students made his dreams come true.
'I feel happy, happy, happy, and I don't know how to describe it,' he said.
After the amazing surprise Apraku and the students gathered at a local restaurant, Vienna Inn, and commemorated the joyous day together.

[REGNUM] Three citizens of the United States of America and one from Great Britain were among 37 people who were sentenced to death for an attempted coup in the Democratic Republic of Congo, The Guardian reports .
Recall, this was a project of Congolese emigré Christian Malanga, on which he took his son and one of his son’s school friends.
It is noted that among the accused there are also citizens of Belgium and Canada. They are accused of terrorism, murder and organizing a criminal community.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on May 19, the representative of the Armed Forces of the DR Congo, Sylvain Ekenge, reported that the Armed Forces of the DR Congo had prevented an attempt to carry out a coup d'état in the capital of the country, Kinshasa. According to him, the military detained all the participants in the plot. Later, the media reported that the uniforms of the detained and liquidated rebels had the flag of Zaire (the former name of the country). At the same time, the men spoke English, French and Lingala and claimed that they were "representatives of the diaspora." Third try. Fred and badanov — there a bug somewhere that keeps erasing the content of this article.
To summarize, dear Reader:
This article reported more information about this story from yesterday. badanov usually keeps copies of the translations he does for us, so hopefully at some point he will copy/paste that in this space.
[Slaynews] All airports must be closed and the consumption of meat and dairy products among the general public must be completely banned in order to comply with the globalist "Net Zero" agenda, according to a disturbing government report.
The report was produced by Oxford University and Imperial College London for the UK government.
By then the UK will be experiencing both a violent civil war and open jihad, so they’ll have other concerns.
In the U.S., 14 cities have set a "target" to comply with the WEF green agenda goals by banning meat, dairy, and private car ownership by 2030.
2030? That’s two presidential terms from now. Still, that’s plenty of time for the residents of those cities to move somewhere less restrictive, taking their tax payments with them…
The American city members of C40 include:
Austin
Boston
Chicago
Houston
Los Angeles
Miami
New Orleans
New York City
Philadelphia
Phoenix
Portland
San Francisco
Washington, D.C.

Is the Biden/Harris LSD Regime at it again?
The FBI and CISA are warning citizens of attempts to convince voters that US election infrastructure has been compromised.
(It hasn't been.)
The FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) are warning US citizens that the spread of disinformation is high, as false claims of cyberattacks compromising US voter registration databases begin to unfurl.
The agencies say that malicious actors are behind the discord, which is an attempt to manipulate public opinion as well as undermine trust in US democratic institutions. The tactics the malicious actors use involve obtaining voter registration information to support their false claims that election infrastructure has been compromised.
According to the agencies, access to this kind of information is not in itself an indicator of voter registration database compromise. In fact, voter registration information can be viewed through sources that are publicly available.
"The FBI and CISA have no information suggesting any cyberattack on US election infrastructure has prevented an election from occurring, changed voter registration information, prevented an eligible voter from casting a ballot, compromised the integrity of any ballots cast, or disrupted the ability to count votes or transmit unofficial election results in a timely manner," according to the announcement.

[YouTube] Hacking is more than just a term for rogue programmers breaking into computer systems. Bruce Schneier, adjunct lecturer at Harvard Kennedy School, thinks hacking goes well beyond the digital realm. Tax accountants hack the tax code by finding loopholes for their clients. Silicon Valley hacks the taxi system with rideshare companies. And now, the biggest tech companies are using artificial intelligence to hack their way further into our lives. His latest book, "A Hacker's Mind: How the Powerful Bend Society's Rules, and How to Bend Them Back," explores the ways that society is manipulated by those seeking and exploiting loopholes.
On this episode of Behind the Book, Bruce Schneier discusses how hacking has become so prevalent in so many areas of society, and how we can rebuild our political, economic and legal systems to resist it.

Tax accountants hack the tax code by finding loopholes for their clients
Those 'loopholes' are put there intentionally by the same politicians that demagogue on class warfare for votes from the proles in order to extort money from the patricians to protect what's theirs in the form of 'campaign funds'.

Never heard of a well costing that much to plug. Landowners share responsibility for knowing where these old well casing are located. Walk the woods or visit the county cleark's office. Permits are on file, many dating back over 100 years.
If you've got a bad well plug, you'd better look after it. Oil field water flooding can pressurize a formation and cause a huge mess. If it seeps oil or water, it's bad. If it smells of sulfur, it's bad and may need attention. Land owners can be held liable under certain circumstances.
If you're a smoker, leave your Lucky Strikes back at the truck.
Shocking discovery, "Bird Flu" requires no birds or animals.
[LI] In our last few reports on Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), otherwise known as ’bird flu,’ ten Colorado poultry workers had developed symptoms of bird flu (mainly pink eye), and California dairy cows were reported to be infected.
No cases of human infection with bird flu that couldn’t be traced to exposures to sick animals had ever been reported. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) now says a patient in Missouri was hospitalized with bird flu despite having no known contact with animals. OR they were too embarrassed to actually report the "contact" they had?
The patient, who had underlying medical conditions, was successfully treated with antiviral medications at the hospital and has since been discharged, according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS).
This marks the 14th person (in three states) to contract bird flu in the U.S. this year — and the first infection to occur without any reported exposure to sick or infected animals, the CDC alert stated.
The prior 13 cases came after exposure to dairy cows or poultry.
Dr. Benjamin Anderson, assistant professor in the Department of Environmental and Global Health at the University of Florida, said the fact that an individual has tested positive for H5 without any reported animal exposure is "very concerning," but noted that very little is known about the case.
"We don’t know if the individual had indirect exposure to people or products from agricultural settings," he told Fox News Digital.

Here's a thought game.
Viruses are not considered alive by most definitions.
That would mean it's simply out there once it has been distributed via various means of contraction.
It really doesn't go away.
Rather the population develop an immunity or resistance to it.
Now introduce a 'jab' that reduces immunity among that population, then the virus can once again make its appearance among the population.

#3 I certainly had something in early August that closely resembled the flu. Of course a lot of bodily discomforts have flu like symptoms. So, it might not have been, but it felt like it.
Some animals are known as "reservoirs". The virus can live in them but they don't get sick and can spread disease through contact or mosquitos. Pigs are notorious for this.
