An abuse of the rules

and, quite frankly, an abuse of power.

 

Biden invokes Defense Production Act (wasn’t that for Domestic manufacturing in times of war???) for Solar Panels from other countries for the next 4 years…..

Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam are gonna get special treatment….waiver of tariffs. and other considerations.

One wonders how much commission Hunter Biden will make on this deal. (10% for the Big Guy” and all that, remember?)

There is no war, so the use of the Defense Production Act is a joke and an abuse of power.

Reducing the price of imported Solar Panels is a great way to jump start production of those panels domestically, innit?

Can you imagine the screaming if Trump had done something like this?

D Day

Dark of the moon, happened on the 6th of June

And thousands of men stormed the beaches of Normandy (and others) to invade.

Facing near-certain death they went. Many died. Others succeeded in gaining a toehold on the beach.

Other parachuted or flew in in gliders to behind the enemy lines…no chance of reinforcement or rescue.

They did it anyway.

Balls. Those men had balls.

What would they think of the country they fought for…today?

 

 

Seems I’ve see this dance before

Or one an awful lot like it

Suddenly there are two strains of monkeypox….

Of course, if you read the whole thing, there have been money pox cases for the past few years. even as far back as 2017.

So other than the fact that it is now being spread by gay men to other gay men, no new news.

But I bet it becomes another manufactured crisis.

Next thing it will be the cause of high food and gas pricing, and then who knows what else they will find to blame it on instead of blaming Brandon.

 

City folks

A whole Brooklyn bar is terrorized when a possum wanders into a bar, (“So, this possum walks into a bar…..”)

And a lady from Alaska simply picked him up and took him outside.

Now she’s a hero in the bar.

All for taking charge of a frightened and lost animal.

And these folks think that when the Shit hits the Fan they are gonna take charge. And that they are superior to all those country folks.

Frightened by a 12 lb possum.

An odd discrepancy in the story

So the police in Uvalde used the excuse that they were unable to enter the school in order to secure and rescue the children from the gunman because they were unable to open the door.

Amother was initially handcuffed by the officers on-scene  (but not in the school) before getting released when somehow, she was  was able to enter the school and get her kids out. (why not take the rest of the class as well?)

IF she could get in why mot the cops?

Lots of discrepancies, but this is just one more.

Question:

Why is it that all the mass shootings (that we hear about, anyway,) are perpetuated with AR-style rifles exclusively? Why not AK or other style firearms? There are a lot of different types available, many even less expensive.

It seems odd that what with the abundance of other types of semi-automatic “Assault Weapon” types of rifles available that there would be others used nearly as much as AR-Types.

Unless, of course, they aren’t random mental health issue caused massacres, but rather incidents planned (and paid for) to specifically focus attention to the AR types.

Just sayin’
