Go nowhere.

One would think that all the soccer moms and the crazy divorced Cat ladies and the Leftist College students would all create an outcry about the devastation of the habitat of these “indigenous peoples” that are losing to the loggers in Indonesia.

This is the moment tribespeople threaten workers on their territory in an Indonesian rainforest before running away when a bulldozer driver revs at them. The video, the contents of which have been described as evidence of a ‘human rights catastrophe unfolding’, shows two men from the Hongana Manyawa, a tribe in Halmahera, who live far from outsiders.

Make no mistake, I too think it is a tragedy….and if there was a way to donate to purchase the land that they are living on to ensure that they have a reservation in which to live peacefully, I’d donate (assuming it wasn’t a scam or that the organizer wouldn’t rake-off 97% A-La the Clintons and their “Foundation”).

But there will maybe be a bunch of tik-tok and Twitter X posts and then these poor folks will be overrun as people forget to care in a day or a week.

From a comment at Ken’s place:

“The GOP is just the worthless spineless controlled opposition of the Dems. Tell me: What have they done about election integrity? What have they done about getting us out of foreign wars? What have they done about rolling back gun control or the welfare state? What have they actually done about the weaponization of the FBI and the CIA and the IRS? What have they done about the criminal grifter in the white house? I’ll wait right here.”

Pretty much spot-on. They haven’t done more than promise and then fail to even TRY to deliver. They haven’t accomplished anything, even when they held the reigns of power.

If we use the methods of the Climate Change/Glowbal Warming crowd then the fact that we had SNOW on Halloween is evidence of Global Cooling and we are about to enter an ice age.

Just sayin’. If “Hot in Summer” is evidence of Glowbal Warming, then surely SNOW on Halloween is evidence of a massive cooling event, right?

I mean, first snow of the season.

Crashes everywhere. Automobile carnage in spots.

Who would have thought the roads would be slick?

Christ-on-a-Pogo-stick, the utter foolishness and stupidity of my fellow citizens sometimes even surprises me.
