I expect that the outrage will….

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.

 

 

I cannot argue with anything he says:

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.

 

 

 

Snow on Halloween….

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?

 

Absolute Chaos

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.

Funny, no one even comments on THIS mass shooting event

‘Cause it is a typical Saturday night in the more urban neighborhoods.

At least 15 shot, 2 critically injured at Lawndale Halloween party; suspect in custody, police say

Y’know, my Dad’s Dad always told me that black people were really generally nice, but GROUPS of black people were trouble….

And the older I get the more I see he was correct.

You’d think, what with the terrible shooting in Maine, that the Media would be all over this…but because it involves Black people in a black neighborhood instead of a white man, they all but ignore it….

Pretty much the same thing in Tampa.

If you bother to look, you’ll find it happened in Philadelphia, Detroit, and nearly any  larger Blue City. The sum total is greater than the Maine shooting.

But no one bothers to make a big deal about it because it is expected behavior from that demographic….

 

If you gotta do it in secret….

Then perhaps there is something wrong with your actions…..and you know that there is.

Charlottsville Robert E Lee statue given to Black History Museum….then broken up and melted down in secret

Were they ashamed of what they were doing? Or did they know that the public would object and try to stop them? Either way, the secrecy shows they knew that they were wrong….

 

Shame that the Black people cannot build things up on their own, only tear down what whites have built, innit?

One foot on the dock and one on the boat

Never works out well.

 

Mike Pence drops out of the race.

He simply couldn’t take a stand and couldn’t take a side and therefore appealed to no-one.

He wouldn’t stand up for Trump but wouldn’t condemn the election “reindeer games” either but wanted to stand for Law and Order when he knew that there were shenanigans taking place that were illegal election interference….

You can’t stand for something if you refuse to stand up at all.
