Pam Bondi could not be reached for comment. Nor could her boss.

While the news media would like to have you believe that the somewhat epic rainfall in southeast Wisconsin is somehow a new thing, along with the accompanying flooding, it turns out that it just ain’t true.

Nowhere that flooded over the weekend had flooded for the first time. In fact, the last floods in the same areas were about 15 years ago.

20+ inches of rain in 48 hours is an unusual occurrence, but not unprecedented. It isn’t record rainfall even. It happens every few years.

More people living in the areas means less fields for water to go….and more roofs and parking lots to help make faster runoff to the lower areas. and floods happen there.

(And, BTW, there were not “Flash” floods, just flooding of lowlying areas. The water didn’t rise at the rate of feet in an hour, or even inches a minute. I really wish the media would learn the difference between flooding and Flash Floods, and stop using the wrong term.

They claim it’s climate change, but we all know it is because of Donald Trump’s policies and the cuts done by DOGE at USAID.

The girls, I mean, they weighed a lot less too….

and wish him a Happy Birthday.

Japan couldn’t learn the first time.

So the US dropped the second bomb….Fat Man, the second time an implosion-type plutonium bomb was ever detonated by anyone on this planet.

I mean, the firebombings that burned much of Tokyo and other cities actually killed more people, and did more to damage the Japanese ability to make War.

But the single bomb causing such damage scared the hell out of the Japanese military and eventually, the Royalty.

It was supposed to be Kokura, but the gods of chance saved the city and it’s inhabitants….weather and the smoke from bombings the night before made Kokura impossible to bomb visually….This doomed Nagasaki, as it was the secondary target.

on August 14, Emperor Hirohito recorded his surrender announcement.

This surrender likely saved most of million allied servicemen from death, and likely ten times that of Japanese citizens.

A Spanish town has become the first in the country to ban Muslims from using public facilities to celebrate religious Eid festivals

I guess that the people of Spain just want their Christian based culture to remain the same. Tired of the Muslims invading and trying to change things.

History may not repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

On this date, back in 1945, the United states detonated the second ever Atomic Bomb…over Hiroshima, Japan.

Despite the firebombings killing many Japanese people over the preceding months, the allied bombings had not broken the will of the Japanese to make war….

and, of course, the US has spent all that money on the Manhattan Project….

But, either way, on Aug 6th, 1945 the Enola Gay, piloted by Col. Paul Tibbetts, dropped the uranium bomb at 8:15 Am local time.

The bomb detonated approximately 44 seconds later, killing approximately 110,000 people.

Welcome to the atomic age.
