Tornadoes south of I-80 in both Illinois and Indiana. Basically south of Chicago and the areas south of Lake Michigan had a large tornadic supercell that ran for about 60 miles.
The weather presenters though: Not only were they unaware of the areas south of Chicago (and had likely never been anywhere near those areas) , but at one point said:
“Good thing that no one lives in all this farmland so there isn’t much to damage“…Showing that they had no idea how many people live outside cities…
I mean, last time there was a budget battle, the TSA agents and some Air Traffic controllers did a “Sick Out” and caused issues with air travel.
Now it is happening again with the TSA.
Why is the Department of (some) Justice letting them get away with this?
It is illegal for government employees to go on strike or engage in any job action.
Yet they do, and they aren’t being fired for it, nor are they being charged with a crime.
Why is that the case? Why aren’t they being charged? Why aren’t they losing their jobs with those sweet Federal benefits? Why do the TSA management allow their employees, our paid servants, to get away with this? ( I know why, that is a rhetorical question)…Why isn’t congress doing something about it, or Prezident Trump? Why are they getting away with it?
Enquiring minds and all that
‘Yesterday, I listened for several hours to three United States presidents who do not know Jesse Jackson,’
‘He maintained a tense relationship with the political order, not because the presidents were white or black, but the demands of our message, the demands of speaking for the least of these – those who are disinherited, the damned, the dispossessed, the disrespected – demanded not Democratic or Republican solutions.”
Read the whole thing:
I’d say the son of the “Civil Rights Leader’ isn’t happy with the ex-presidents that spoke at this fathers funeral…..
Sometimes SNL gets their sarcasm right:
“I just want to make it clear that I didn’t get fired, I self-deported”
Everyone is talking about the fact that Israel is the power behind the attack on Iran, ….But let’s face it, so is Saudi, and Iman, and Dubai and Kuwait and lots of other Arab and middle east nations.
They all wanted the Persian Ayatollahs reigned in, as they Iranians are a danger to all of them in the region, not just Israel.
Funny how that makes for cooperation, innit?
Methinks they were all responsible in part for the decision to attack Iran by the US.
Britain Reconsiders 78% North Sea Oil Tax as Investment Slows
Who would have thought that a 78% tax on oil would have stopped companies from investing in the North Sea? When they essentially cannot make a profit anymore, why would they just quit investing there and go somewhere else? Find other places to invest their money and resources?
This is my shocked face, shocked, I tell ya.
Neil Khot of is running for congress in Illinois.
His TV ad (low budget and weak (and late) , so I guess the big money isn’t supporting him) says that he is “afraid to leave his house without his passport” because of ICE. (Dude looks like a very Americanized 1st generation immigrant).
Well, “Neil”, that’s because folks like you supported the DNC plan of unfettered illegal immigration, , and while I strongly doubt you’ve ever had trouble with ICE personally, the likelihood of illegals living in a state like Illinois, and that people with darker skin will be illegals in a “Sanctuary City” like Chicago (and most of the municipalities around Chicago) is fairly high…and that one need not be a citizen or a legal alien visitor in Illinois to obtain a diver’s license. …. So you kinda might need that passport (or a passport card). That’s on you and your folks though.
Policies like yours have consequences when the government actually, you know, enforces the law.
Since they won’t act like allies, and since we are the ones that (up ’til now) have been their main defenders….our military should leave the country. Pack up all our materiel, all our people, and all our equipment. Take it somewhere else.
And level all the infrastructure built by the US at the airbases that we share with them.
If we built a runway, leave it as broken and unusable pavement. If we built a building, leave it as a pile of rubble. Remove everything of value: stocks of weapons, materiel, spares, bombs, fuel and food.
Leave it as it was before the US improved it. If Spain didn’t build it then leave it as unusable. Let them build their own airbase and other facilities around the country.
If they can’t play properly, we should take all that we built (and leave them NOTHING) and go elsewhere….Poland isn’t actually all that far away and they would love to have the US based there.
One base at a time, we should dismantle and destroy the infrastructure built by the United States such that there is no value left from what we built for our use that we share with Spain.
Not only the loss of the base, but the economic loss alone would devastate the local economy.
The lesson will not be lost on the other countries.
