…why does it need any federal government money at all?

This Is Not Your Grandma’s Humane Society
The pet overpopulation lie, exposed:
Bruhn-Worm has arranged the transportation and rescue of 21 dogs in all from India, including the orphaned and unrelated puppies at the Tri-County Humane Society.
“I was actually in a town that was smack dab in the center of the country where there was no readily accessible air transportation for live animals, so there was a bunch of taxi cabs that I actually had to hire for the pups,” she said.
The medium-sized puppies are up for adoption for $300 each at the Tri-County Humane Society. As of Friday, Shelly and Salman already had deposits put on them by potential adopters.
Before you donate, ask if they import.
The Decline And Fall Of The American Empire
Right Scoop: …while hundreds of active duty soldiers are getting pink slips on the battlefield, Bowe Bergdahl is returned to active duty.
Too Late Smart
Noted Israeli leftist: “We were incredibly stupid…. We thought they wanted a state, and a two-state solution, but it turns out that they want to destroy Israel…”
Cold, Wet Hands
A law unto themselves;
…the draft manual (obtained through access to information by independent firearms researcher Dennis Young) shows that RCMP’s K Division is intent on making gun grabbing a permanent part of its disaster action plan.
Since it remains a criminal offence in Canada to store a gun in your home without a trigger lock or outside a locked cabinet, the Mountie manual urges officers in the middle of a rescue operation to round up all the guns the see.
“You may seize any item in plain view that may provide evidence of the commission of an offence, if there is a pre-existing lawful reason for intrusion upon the person or premises,” the document claims.
Operation Empty Chair
Move along folks, nothing here to see: US officials have also reportedly played down the threat, saying the materials were not believed to be enriched uranium. They added that it would be difficult for the rebels to use the materials to make weapons.

Earlier today Fußballspieler Mario Götze scored twenty-three minutes into extra time to defeat Argentina in a sternly contested match and give Germany it’s fourth FIFA World Cup. Tonight, accompanied by images of nicely rebuilt statues and edifices, the quintessentially German Heino rubs the victory in the noses of every other nation on earth with his unrelenting rendition of Das Lied der Deutschen, aka Deutschland über alles.
If that’s too much to take, watch a recap of the 1966 World Cup instead. Pip-pip!

Best Caption?
Yesterday evening, while in Los Gatos, California, I came across this banner:
As a Canadian, I couldn’t resist taking a photo of it. I’m convinced that something with the words “Justin” and “Pizza Tosser” are screaming for a great caption, but my humour engine is not coming up empty. Hoping some clever SDA’ers have some ideas! 🙂

The Sound Of Settled Science
I’m starting to think that “Astro” is code for “kook”: Astrophysicists are mystified after concluding that 80% of the light in the universe appears to be missing.

Confessions of a subsistence freelance writer;
The transition from hunter-gatherer to farmer has always fascinated me. The ability to plant, cultivate and harvest crops stands alongside the emergence of self-awareness, control of fire, the wheel, and the development of mathematics and written language as one of humanity’s transformational events. We became something different once we began to farm.
I have found something like that taking place in me. For a variety of reasons – partly financial, partly intellectual – I have approached my land with tools that, for the most part, would have been available in 1014: scythes, sickles and mattocks recognisable from paintings and tapestries of 11th-century farms. How long would I last if thrust back by time machine or a collapse of the sort popular in apocalypse porn?

British Columbia First Nations are wasting no time in enforcing their claim on traditional lands in light of a landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision recognizing aboriginal land title.
The hereditary chiefs of the Gitxsan First Nations served notice Thursday to CN Rail, logging companies and sport fishermen to leave their territory along the Skeena River in a dispute with the federal and provincial governments over treaty talks.
And the Gitxaala First Nation, with territory on islands off the North Coast, announced plan to file a lawsuit in the Federal Court of Appeal on Friday challenging Ottawa’s recent approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline from Alberta.
The Kwikwetlem First Nation also added its voice to the growing list, claiming title to all lands associated with now-closed Riverview Hospital in Metro Vancouver along with other areas of its traditional territory.
No, not their money. The Supreme Court’s money.
