Likely true, but might be AI generated.

I dunno

So we got high winds today in NW Indiana. 55 plus MPH gusts, sustained 40…

And, of course, that leads to trees falling.

Which is what happened on a state highway here on my way from one appointment to another.

A fairly large-ish tree fell across the road, stopping traffic in both directions.

Some folks turned around; me, I got out and went to see what was holding up traffic.

Several other men did as well.

I had the car, not the truck, so no saw, but I did have a camp axe in the car. 2 other dudes had small chainsaws.

Between us, and with the help of another half dozen or so guys, we got the pieces of tree mostly piled up on the sides of the road….got the mess cleaned up such that cars could get by and traffic could flow in both directions.

The Porter County sheriff (two of them, one in uniform, the other (I think) off duty) showed up late, were NOT helpful, and actively discouraged the folks moving the broken tree…and generally just got in the way (although they did turn their lights on). We ignored their orders and just got on with it. Frustrated the uniformed one to no end.

In less that 15 minutes we had the road cleared enough, and were on our way.

No one led, no one gave orders, we just pitched in and worked together. Amazing how much mass a half dozen men can drag off the road when they work together. Guys just stepped up and lent a hand and we got things done. No one asked what to do, we just did it.  We actually had more hands than we had work at the end as more and more men got out of their cars and came to help.

Funny how communities of european ancestry folks do shit, innit?

This is still true:

Denying it doesn’t change things

For those liberal readers that are offended by this, feel free to prove me wrong.

But give cites and show your work.

Also:  Note that the past two terror attacks weren’t done by Amish boys.

that Trump can’t get a dollar for every time one of the Democratic candidates in the Chicago primary election ads says “Trump” or “Trump’s policies”.

All of them are running against “Trump”, in some manner or another.

Seems that they , none of them, have anything to run ON, only things to run AGAINST. None of them can tell you why you should vote for them, just why you should NOT vote for their opponent.

are trying to get the hell out of england:

Fox stows away on ship carrying cars from Southampton to the Port of New York and New Jersey.

I guess that the Muslim invasion is even driving the wildlife away.

As will the bad planning by the County and State people responsible for all the road construction (and the c0mplete lack of coordination between them). And the engineering that appears to be done by particularly well connected first year Civil Engineering students

(and the substandard work that somehow gets past the inspection and such that requires redoing the next year at the taxpayers expense, but that’s a conversation for another time for another time)

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
