For once a cop is getting the same treatment as the people they are supposed to police:

A former female Dallas cop who wrongly shot and killed a black man eating ice cream in his apartment has been denied parole…Amber Guyger, now 35, has served just five years behind bars for shooting and killing Botham Jean, 27, when she mistook his apartment for her own on September 6, 2018.

Personally, I think there is more to her story and she killed him on purpose.

The one with the “Commercial Grade” house and all that? 

Apparently, she did.

Her “Commercial Grade” home apparently did ok, just a few roof leaks and some minor stuff. 

Apparently her husband did a good job building the home, as it survived.

Seems that Hezbollah now wants a ceasefire.

One would expect that since that is what those kind of people do, and have done for all that I can remember: Lose a fight, ask for a break, rearm, reorganize, reestablish themselves, and then attack again.

Do you think they are gonna change the playbook? I don’t.

Israel should double down and destroy that organization and any “civilians” who support it. (It was an excuse for firebombing Tokyo in WWII ( “there are no civilians, every Japanese is a part of the War effort” ) and it is still valid today.

Why give your enemy time to gather themselves? Beat them and pound them, harry them and hound them and bomb them and shoot them until there is no one left. It’s the best way to ensure peace.

(Of course, I am a great proponent of Disproportionate Response….I find it’s the best way to win a fight….(I believe it was General Curtis LeMay that stated “If you kill enough of them, they stop fighting”). )

How she fared?

Woman brags on Social Media how she was gonna stay in her “Hurricane Proof” house in Florida.

I guess when the reporters don’t have to go out and actually travel into the hinterlands, but can instead just drive a few hours on roads in good repair, to places where the biggest issue is lack of power and maybe running water they will actually bother to cover the storm damage.

One the one hand we have unprecedented damage from Helene in the hills of North Carolina and Tennessee, and on the other hand we have what is, effectively, “normal” post hurricane damage in Florida from Milton….But one gets covered well and one doesn’t.

Is it laziness? Or is it something else?

of debris that hit him

Anderson Cooper hit by hurricane wind-borne debris during live broadcast

Apparently he is unharmed, but I still am not sympathetic.

Why he thinks that he needs to be there (yes, I know, …Ratings) when everyone else is told to leave, I don’t know. He endangered himself and his crew for popularity and street cred.

I just wish it had been a big enough piece to teach him a real lesson.

at the local diner.

“If only the federal government would hand out free meals, free hotel room vouchers  and $2000 debit cards to the Helene victims like they do illegals”

When the Media states that something that Trump or any other Conservative says

“The False Claim that…….”   I give the story full credence….assume that the statement that is being “debunked” is true.

Cats and dogs and Hattians, Voter Fraud, Failure of FEMA to react well to the devastation(as well as their spending money allocated to them for disaster relief on “Migrants”)…..All “False Narratives”

“Who you gonna believe? Me or your lyin’ eyes? ”

From the FEMA website before it got scrubbed:

“Die with memories, not dreams”

“To see the right, and not do it, is cowardice”

“Life is not fair, but it beats the alternative”

“No one ever got tired of loving, they get tired of waiting, tired of lies, tired of assuming the other is truly sorry, and tired of hurting”

“If you can’t acknowledge your mistakes, you will never learn from them or change your behavior”

I really wish that the meteorologists and reporters would learn what a “Flash Flood” is,

There is no “Flash Flooding” in the panhandle of Florida….Flooding? Yes. Lots of that. But Flash Floods are a totally different thing. It takes elevation and large areas that gather water and concentrate it which then runs downhill rapidly, leaving a wall of water that inundates things in it’s path. There is no geography like that in Florida. “Flash Floods” simply can’t happen there. Floods there don’t grow at a rate of tens of feet in minutes. They happen (relatively) slowly. Flooding? yeah, Florida has a lot of that…But even storm surge doesn’t happen that quickly.

“Flooding” is not “Flash Flooding”. If you’ve ever experienced a Flash Flood, you’d know the difference.

I know they think it is more dramatic to say “Flash Flood” but that is really untrue.
