The means by which bureaucrats and politicians can stand in the way of public safety are both myriad and murderous. A thread by John Konrad.
She is a 20 year USCG Veteran and should understand the importance of marine pumping to refill fire department water supplies.
This topic is a MAJOR pet peeve of mine.
Let’s explore how California and Hawaii have utterly failed to use the natural resource we have: salt water.

National Post- Calgary courts kept busy with a variety of cases during 2024
Sex parties; elder abuse; a Calgary father who wanted his daughter’s killer to burn in hell; and one dad desperately trying to save his own daughter’s life.
Those were just some of the issues Calgary judges had to deal with during another busy year in our city’s courtrooms in 2024.

In 2020, three prolific burglars were on the loose in Leinster, Ireland. Together they had accumulated over 200 convictions. But one day, they all died in a traffic accident. As a result, the robbery rate plummeted.
OOF: Kamala Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff cheated on his first wife with daughter Ella’s nanny Najen Naylor — and got her PREGNANT.
Some days I’m floored at how many nonsensical concepts can be packed into one article, but someone seems to have outdone themselves once again. These folks might want to take a step back from the race baiting mill and acknowledge the benefits of a technology that exists thanks to a culture of entrepreneurship and individual rights that they routinely conflate with colonial oppression.
“It’s really a decolonial effort where it returns the power into our hands so that we can again assert our own self-determination, determine how it unfolds within our region,” said Jacob Taylor.
“There have been no treaties signed for the sky, so Indigenous people have an inherent right to participate in the aerospace industry.”

Guinness World Records- 57-year-old runs across Africa in record time while avoiding kidnap
A British-South African man has run the entire length of Africa in 301 days, breaking a 25-year-old world record.
Keith Boyd, 57, achieved the fastest journey from Cape Town to Cairo on foot, beating the previous record by 17 days.
It turned out to be Ethiopia where he encountered the most issues, describing that portion of the run as “hell on Earth”.
If not for the setbacks he experienced there, which include being assaulted and held at gunpoint, he could have completed the journey a few weeks earlier.
Next to FDR, Woodrow Wilson stands out as my least favorite President. Wilson ushered in the era of a meddlesome federal government and countless violations of individual rights. It’s not surprising to find that he was motivated by the collectivist philosophies that long dominated the field of education and consequently took root in our political systems.
“Wilson attended lectures about how history could be theorized in systematic terms that describe a progressive improvement of the human condition. He became absorbed by the philosophy of Georg Hegel. … In Hegel’s works, personal freedom was framed as a national ideal — only achieved when each individual fit a hierarchy that served the larger whole. Hegel’s ideas from the early 1800s aligned with an idea emergent in intellectual life in the early 1900s: applying biological principles to social and political conditions. Wilson … began to view individuals as cells or cogs within a living organism, which he analogized to the nation. As Wilson’s worldview solidified, he came to believe that the individual rights described in the Constitution, championed by Jefferson and Madison, were not immutable triumphs, but were instead subservient to transcendent ideals of national order and societal hierarchy.”
The only real anomaly in this narrative is the fact that certain political leaders do not understand the concept of evidence.
A search of the grounds of a former residential school in northern Manitoba has uncovered 187 anomalies, according to First Nation leaders.
To know for sure what the anomalies are, Monias said the sites would have to be excavated and DNA testing would be required.
To do that, he said the First Nation would need funding from the federal government.
In what universe would the discovery of a potential crime scene require federal funding prior to investigation?
John Campbell sees some light at the end of the tunnel: the New York Times actually published an article acknowledging problems with vaccine injury and the compensation process.
I can’t help think what the reaction might be if someone published a study on Auschwitz and termed the facility “terrifyingly humongous” and otherwise never mentioned that it was a venue for mass murder.
Archaeologists have discovered a new section of the historic site, which was first uncovered in 2015. The new find adds 119 skulls to the previously known 484, for a hair-raising total of 603 skulls, stacked atop one another and mortared together.
The tower is believed to be one of seven similar structure that once stood in the Aztec capital city of Tenochtitlán (now Mexico City).
It’s the thought that counts.
Telegraph- Is the Church paying reparations on a false premise?
Between 1720 and 1723, it is true, the Bounty did invest £14,000 (about £2.4 million today) in the unsplit company and so, for a time, could have profited from slavery. As it happened, however, it did not. When Parliament divided the South Sea Company in 1723, it split the Bounty’s shares equally, too. The Bounty sold off its trading company shares quite quickly but retained and greatly expanded its annuities.
Discreditably, the Bounty’s managers in 1720 appear to have felt no moral qualms about the slave trade. Subsequently, however, they did not further invest in it or make money out of it.
