[Bee] CANAAN—In a somber press release outside the burning gates of torment and suffering, the fire god Moloch warned of looming supply chain issues regarding child sacrifices.
Moloch added that human sacrifices, purifications, ordeals by fire, mutilations, etc., would cease until the supply chain shortages were sorted out through democratically violent means.
"My demon logistics department is reporting a supply chain shortage of children to sacrifice upon burning idols and in fiery pits," said the god of brazen gratification and hedonism. "The scarcity of innocent young lives to be brutally murdered at my feet is mostly due to the US Supreme Court's upcoming reversal of Roe v. Wade, led by white supremacist Clarence Thomas."
An uncomfortably large percentage of the US population cried out in fear and terror at the prospects of not being able to sacrifice children of a loving Heavenly Father for their own, selfish desires. Eyes rolled back in their sockets and blood-curdling screams pierced the air in the name of egomaniacal convenience.
"What about my career as a corporate drone who loves binge-drinking on the weekends!" cried one woman at the steps of the Supreme Court building while holding a protest sign reading "My Body, My Choice, My Vanity, My Career, My Parties, My Barren, Loveless Life."
At publishing time, Moloch was considering the allowance of back alley child sacrifices using common household objects and horse medication.

Nancy Pelosi's pigs, the Capital Police, are warnng after the Supreme Court appear to be ruling in favor of their cause, turning over Roe vs Wade, they plan to attack the Supreme Court. (Breitbart.com)
It seems there is a lot more to switching from Ethanol 90/10 to 85/15 blended gas than just making it and pumping it through the same lines, thus initially mixing it up for a few days.
Having spoke with Fire Personnel in on the loop. It involves everything from the Factory, its lines to the interstate Pipelines to the Metro area tanks and the 1203 Semi-Tankers hauling gas. All must all be must be made ready for the switch.
Note: 15% based fuel is more likely to evaporate and be ignited by static electric discharges than 90/10, especially in warmer months.
The Gas Tank Farm (storage facility) in Doraville, GA area recently alerted Metro-Atlanta FD's they were starting the initial prep work for the switchover process and would be "temporarily" halting the incoming pipeline flow to do the work. Because the prep work itself would cause some additional potential fire and safety issues.
Gas prices are already increasing in many areas.
NOTE: In general, ethanol has about 33 percent less energy than gasoline. So, the more ethanol in the fuel, the worse the fuel economy you are going to get (Less Miles per Gallon).
BTW: Ethanol evaporation is a major source of air pollution in the USA. And it takes more energy to produce Ethanol for Gas than the Energy it saves using it.

When you have people in office who have never run anything in their lives, you get a lot of this. They say something should be done and are astounded when it doesn't just happen like magic.

NN2N1 — the post is your own thinking, correct? Because there’s no URL.

TS correct...
Some data was gleaned from casually speaking several sources that work the Metro-Atlanta and surrounding counties Fire Dept's.
Plus a simple D2D search on:
"Ethanol pollution"
"Mileage differences between Blends"
"Energy to needed to produce Ethanol"
then weeding out BS, verse actual research.

Casual discussion this morning with my mindlessly knee-jerk dem voting neighbor who had no idea that the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is for, you know, strategic events, like being in a war, as opposed to being a piggy bank for Bidet to fail at manipulating gasoline prices.
And the guy's thinning hair almost fell out when I told him about the E-15 thing.

“ Most of the fuel ethanol produced around the world is made by fermenting the sugar in the starches of grains such as corn, sorghum, and barley, and the sugar in sugar cane and sugar beets. Denaturants are added to ethanol to make fuel ethanol undrinkable.” plants require water produced in an aquifer, then more water to produce ethanol. If the USA and the rest of the world have food supply problems, we will let them starve! Let’s go Brandon.

You could "un-denature" it with the appropriate column distillation rig. But if you had that, you'd be better off starting with a good mash recipe.

Most of them, in fact, if asked the right question when they’re in the right mood — isn’t it marvelous! I don’t doubt quite a few of our visitors would be, too, if only they’d stop trying to sell the unsellable and answer the questions we would have asked if we knew what they do. (Or answer the questions our various subject/methods experts do ask...)
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[DONRF] Yesterday (May 4th)
, for the second day in a row, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched massive strikes against Ukrainian railway infrastructure facilities. The damaged Amur railway bridge in the Dnieper became a target, the pictures of which got into the media and social networks. The bridge is damaged, not destroyed, but for a single missile.
VKS did well. Well done here, in Zaporizhia, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine "modestly" kept silent about the results, in Kirovohrad, in Cherkassy too, but in Kyiv - an interception near Brovary. VKS is an acronym for Russian Aerospace Forces
In general, it is difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ukrainian air defenses and our missile weapons, it is very difficult - everything is secret there, except for cases when it is technically not possible. That's how in the Dnieper, in the city center, no bans will help.
Meanwhile, two missiles were fired at the target, and the second dropped in the Dnieper, officially intercepted by air defense, was so intercepted that photos of the collapsed ceiling in one of the apartments were circulating on the Web. This means that either the air defense took a rocket over the building at the last moment, or somewhere they arrived in the industrial zone.
It must be understood that this is the maximum that can be issued simultaneously by the videoconferencing system. A total of 12 missiles from submarines in the Black Sea in salvo. No more.
There is K-55, but the accuracy is much lower there, there are Onyxes, but the price is much higher there. There are Iskanders, but they work on the front lines. Send strategists to live air defense ... The authors of this asks, will you personally be in the cockpit? Just the case when myths and reality painfully collide with foreheads. The people then assured that bang and answer no. Something the Americans experienced in 1999. A reference to the War at 10,000 Feet in the Balkans.
I am calm, firstly, the geography of the strikes says that they are stretching the already scant means of Ukrzaliznytsia (about 200 diesel locomotives, of which less than a hundred are relatively new western ones, there are still maneuverable and non-working, but the first ones are slow, the second repairs of incomprehensible complexity), and secondly, they hit, on measure of strength, in critical places.
Is that enough? Of course not, but as with fuel and lubricants, it seems to me that the calculation is more likely to increase the cost of this war for the West. Quietly Calibers burned 80 percent of Ukraine's fuel and lubricants, now they are busy with railways. So to some extent, especially if they repeat it today, and repeat it again tomorrow, the goal will be achieved, freight traffic will drop. We are all talking about weapons, it is clear, but there is also passenger traffic and transportation of products, household chemicals, clothing, fertilizers, the same fuel and lubricants.
According to my information, before the strikes, Ukrzaliznytsia worked with maximum voltage even before the strikes, there are several reasons for this:
1. Paralysis of part of the roads due to blown bridges
2. Export of products to the EU
3. Providing sowing with the chemical industry stopped
4. Maneuvering fuel and lubricants after the destruction of oil depots
5. Troop transportation.
6. Evacuation trains
Even failures for hours in this schedule lead to the fact that less than 200 working diesel locomotives (for October 2021 - 120, but there were deliveries of at least 40 from the EU and there is a reserve of about 300 to be repaired) stupidly do not pull out without overvoltage, which is already fraught with Railway disasters, and puts Kiev in front of a choice - what to fix. I think they will screw up the sowing campaign, the transportation of consumer goods and that's it. The rest is impossible.
So the strategy is working, well, if you don’t crave in the trash right away, and at least force the West to transfer heavy trucks to Kyiv and supply Western Ukraine with food / household chemicals / fertilizers. And the bridges, with the continuation of work (I would not spare expensive missiles, one bridge - minus 20 percent of the cargo traffic), will interrupt the connectivity of the right and left banks.
Py.Sy. Again, without claiming that it is a geo-victory or zrada, there are simply boring laws of logistics and economics, and they have been boringly and routinely beaten for two days in a row. There will be no Armageddon, there will be such boredom with an incomprehensible result in the end, and the whole world will go to dust, or abandon nuclear weapons in general, or:
"Where the hell to return, to a pile of ruins? Dig up the corpses of neighbors in the smoking ruins and look for their own refugee camps relatives? No, thank you, I'll manage somehow. I'll look at the photos and cancel the trip. And for the weekend I'm flying to Crimea. If the only way to take the city is to demolish it and thousands of dead, then let's take something else. London, let's say , or something else"
It’s from a frightened someone who is cynical, like Dimetriev’s, they say it’s possible for Donbass subhumans, but for Odessa people, who are vindictive, we suffer from them too ... Let’s be frank - with the tasks within the framework it didn’t work out at the first stage, at the second we expected that it will come to partners that they can only win at the cost of the death of their country, now people are doing it, and there is no need to interfere with them, especially since it is fraught. Possible reference to Radko Dimitriev, a Bulgarian general who fought for the Russians in WWI and was executed by the Bolsheviks
And I know what I'm talking about - I have close people where they are in the Donbass, and where they are calibrated in the krajina. And from the fact that in the DLNR there is a desire to howl at times. But the defeat of haste will not help, neither one nor the other. Neither liberation at ANY cost, nor tactical nuclear weapons in that territory will help anyone. The dead have nothing to do with it. krajina is a reference to Serbia. In the last eight years when discussing the breakaway republics relationship to Russia and the west, Serbia was mentioned repeatedly, especially when discussing Serbia' fate.
The most terrible thing at this stage is that there are no quick solutions left, and a part of the population, who is shaken by misfortune, does not believe in long ones. For lies down on Donbass. With blood, big blood. And not everything is perfect of course, and not even everything is good. Are there alternatives? Well, except for fantasy.

It is my understanding that the Ukrainians have been attacking this area for eight years now. Pro Russian I understand and so subjected to Ukrainian target practice.
#5
Half the track in Ukraine is designed for electrified trains (9,000+ km) and the Russians have been targeting hard to replace transformers. The transformer manufacturers and stockpiles, as well as locomotive repair yards have been subject to attack. Back in February the Ukrainians had 173 diesel locomotives - current number operational is unknown.
[Real Clear Investigations] The FBI decision to spy on a former Trump campaign adviser hinged on an unsubstantiated rumor from a Clinton campaign-paid dossier that the Washington Post's Moscow sources had quickly shot down as "bullshit" and "impossible," according to emails disclosed last week to a D.C. court hearing the criminal case of a Clinton lawyer accused of lying to the FBI.
Though the FBI presumably had access to better sources than the newspaper, agents did little to verify the rumor that Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page had secretly met with sanctioned Kremlin officials in Moscow. Instead, the bureau pounced on the dossier report the day it received it, immediately plugging the rumor into an application under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to wiretap Page as a suspected Russian agent.
The allegation, peddled to both the press and FBI in the summer of 2016 by Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm hired by Hillary Clinton’s campaign to dig up dirt on Trump during the presidential race, proved to be the linchpin in winning approval for the 2016 warrant, which was renewed three times in 2017 — even though the FBI learned there were serious holes in the story and had failed to independently corroborate it.
#1
It will likely soon be revealed that Carter Page was a vehicle, a recruited intelligence community source who knew exactly what he was doing and whom he was working for.
No one was "spying" on Carter Page, he was not the target. Intelligences sources are monitored. Carter Page was the source of the reporting. His reporting was being monitored, until he was forced to leave the campaign team.
#2
It seems like a lot of people inside and outside the government "wanted" to believe the B.S. Maybe they all knew it was B.S. and pushed it anyway to try to get rid of Trump. They knew Trump was a danger to all their Deep State cozy relationships.
[REASON] Did you know that in some states, if you miss one tax payment, local politicians will take your home, sell it, and keep all the profits?
Really.
Tawanda Hall was behind on her taxes. She was on a payment plan but had missed $900. She didn't expect Southfield, Michigan, to take her entire house because of that. It was worth $286,000 more than what she owed.
"I'm still in shock," says Tawanda Hall in my new video. "They took my whole house, my whole family's livelihood."
John Bursch, a lawyer for the county, says while this practice may sound unfair (yes, it sure does), "It's also unfair to force those who pay their taxes to subsidize those who don't."
"I pay taxes!" Hall responds. She works as a nursing assistant. "I lift people. I bathe people. I work hard."
When Hall found out she was going to lose her home, she tried to pay off the debt.
"I went to the mayor's office, I went down to the city county building," she says. "They didn't want our money. They said no."
They wanted her house.
Taking it should be illegal.
"I think it's unconstitutional," says Christina Martin, senior attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation. "The government can't take more than it's owed."
The Foundation is suing local governments in six states for this type of home theft.
Martin won one case in Michigan's Supreme Court. Oakland County had taken an entire home over an $8 debt.
Matthew Hodges, the county's lawyer, argued, "There couldn't be anything more fair than informing property owners of what is going to happen, giving them time to act and then letting them make an informed choice."
Martin's response: "Do you think if he knew he owed $8, he would have paid it? Of course! He didn't know, and there wasn't the proper incentive to let him know."
In fact, the town has an incentive not to let him know. Officials rarely tell people: "Pay! Or we'll take your home!" Towns that do this write notices in legalese: "a tax lien acquired under a certain Instrument of Taking from the Collector of Taxes for the city...said instrument of Taking covers a certain parcel of land..."
Hall doesn't remember receiving "anything other than, 'Get out.'"
Despite the Michigan Supreme Court ruling, a judge dismissed Hall's case because the government itself did not make the profit. In her case, the town gave her home to a private business. That business, the Southfield Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative, sold the house and kept the money.
The business says it uses the town's donations to maintain attractive, safe neighborhoods, protect and raise property values.
"Government shouldn't be able to steal from its own people and then give it over to their friends," says Martin.
I ask her how she knows Southfield Neighborhood Revitalization officials are "friends" of the politicians.
She replies, "The company is literally run by the mayor and the city administrator!"
I wanted to interview them. Neither would agree to talk to me.
I'm surprised how common this kind of government home theft is. If you are behind on taxes, even just $10 behind, 11 states allow local governments to sell your home and keep all its value.
In Massachusetts, a 66-year-old grandmother is "sleeping in her car right now," says Martin. "The city took her property, turned around and sold it within days of evicting her."
Although her debt was just $30,000, they sold her house for $242,000 and kept the difference.
The Pacific Legal Foundation has gotten three states to stop engaging in this home equity theft. Good.

Nothing unusual about this. Unless you have an 'in' like Hunter Biden, when the property tax arrives, pay it. It happens once a year. Make sure you remember. It's how most counties across the country pay for fire, police, roads, etc that you take for granted. In some jurisdictions, delinquent property taxes are subject to Sheriff Sales. Upon public notice the sheriff appears on the courthouse steps and an auction is conducted on the claim against the title of the land. In other states, failure to pay property taxes over a period of time allows third parties to go to court and demonstrate that the property has been 'abandoned' and upon payment of back taxes, that party receives title to the property.
The decision in a hearing before a Federal judge was not entirely favorable to the plaintiffs but the case was allowed to go forward against some defendants.
Tawanda owes something north of $22,000 in back taxes.
#4
I think P2K gets to the heart of the matter with the phrase "over a period of time". IOW, the county should not be allowed to take the home just because of one missed payment. The taxes have to be in arrears for a period of time. I could be wrong but I believe that period is five years in San Diego County.
Kinda makes me wonder about the people who are running that county in Michigan.

[Twitchy] Last month President Biden said it was his intention to spend billions and billions of dollars to make the U.S. military "climate-friendly."
If that wasn’t crazy enough (and when is it ever for this administration), today the Justice Department announced a new federal office:
Allow Attorney General Merrick Garland to introduce you to the Office of Environmental Justice:
Here’s part of Garland’s statement announcing that the federal government is getting even bigger:
Today, I am announcing three actions that the Department is taking to advance environmental justice.
First, consistent with the President’s Executive Order on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, we are issuing a comprehensive environmental justice enforcement strategy. Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta will discuss that strategy in just a moment.
Second, I am pleased to announce that we are launching the Justice Department’s first-ever Office of Environmental Justice to oversee and help guide the Justice Department’s wide-ranging environmental justice efforts. Like all parts of government, it will get its own acronym: OEJ.
And third, the Justice Department is issuing an Interim Final Rule that will restore the use of an important law enforcement tool — supplemental environmental projects — subject to new guidelines and limitations that I will also be issuing today.
Administrator Regan and I know that the communities most impacted by environmental harm are not isolated in any one part of our country. Environmental crime and injustice touch communities in all our cities, towns, rural areas, and on Tribal lands.
Although violations of our environmental laws can happen anywhere, communities of color, indigenous communities, and low-income communities often bear the brunt of the harm caused by environmental crime, pollution, and climate change.
You get the point. There’s nothing these people can’t and won’t turn into a racial issue.

I'm sorry to have to tell these clowns that wars are not "climate-friendly." But that's most likely not the real issue. I'd bet it's yet another self-enrichment scheme.
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.
