WOW

The money (and bribes, and graft, and rake-off) from the USAID “efforts” must be HUGE.

 

All 3 major TV networks are pushing the USAID program, and are showing all of the people that (might) be forced to actually fend for themselves if (when!) the United States stops giving away food as we have for decades.

 

The only reason I can see for the Media to be standing with USAID is that the powers that be are upset at the thought of loss of all that revenue. I find it hard to believe that any of the news anchors, or the folks in the networks really give a a shit about the dirty sand people in Sudan and other places. It has to be the amount of money that is siphoned off along the way to the points of distribution.

Preventative overkill

So the weather guessers say we might get as much as a half inch of ice tonight, temps at about 31 F for a while with rain….so possible supercooled droplets making for Freezing Rain with some accumulation. before it warms up later and melts the ice…

 

1/2 inch of ice predicted…maybe…so the county road folks put about 1 inch of salt on the road as a preventative measure. Seriously thick.

But it’s better than nothing at all on the roads like the folks down south had a week or more ago, I guess.

Notice something:

The folks on the Left Coast did a fundraiser called “FireAid” to raise money for the victims of the wildfires that burned many homes and businesses on the West Coast around LA….Which is a wonderful thing (although I would like to see the books to see how much actually goes to the victims and how much is absorbed internally)…

 

But no one raised any money, never even tried, to raise money for the poor people who were flooded out in the Appalachias during Helene.

 

Interesting, innit? If it happened near their home, then these stars were willing to be bothered to spend n hour or two to help raise money. But out in the hills, where they’ve never been, they couldn’t be bothered to help.

Odd, that.

Next up: Energy

Seems that there is a plan afoot to dismantle the Department of Education

It’s a start. This, alongside the Department of Energy, may be the most negatively productive government agency we have. It produces nothing, and other than employing a whole bunch of bureaucrats, doesn’t make any citizens’ life better….It simply wastes money that could be returned to the local school boars and mandates programs that are unproductive and help few, if any students.

All those soon to be out of work bureaucrats can learn to code or something.

Then we can go get started on the Environmental Protection Agency.

 

 

Wednesday Words of Wisdom Twenty

 

Admit it when you are wrong, be silent when you are right”

“Fate rarely calls upon us at a time of your choosing.”

“Sometimes you have to look inward and ask yourself: “Who am I and what do I want?””

“We are products of our past, but we need not prisoners of it”

“If your absence doesn’t affect them, your presence never mattered”

“There are those who confine themselves to criticism of the way others do what they themselves would never dare attempt”

Science is settled….

People believed bullshit then just as much as they believe the pseudoscience now.

Logic seldom appears in their thought process. Just feelz. No science, no real evidence, no “studies” that have any merit:

 

 

Thus it is for the followers of the beliefs of RFK. No evidence, just what they want to believe. Especially about vaccines.

But truth maters not.
