Seems that the arctic ice is growing by great leaps and bounds….In fact Arctic ice has very nearly DOUBLED in area in the last two years….And it is thicker too
Doubled. In. Area. And. Thickness.
Odd, last I heard, we were supposed to be ice free by now.
AlGore did not comment.
I wonder how he is gonna get out of the psych eval?
Seems some dude wrote two books. One in 2012 and one in 2013. One of the books mentions a school massacre in 2902.
Now this dude is a teacher. And someone connected his pen name to hsi real name. And apparently went nuts.
He has been pulled in for psychological evaluation and his home and workplace searched.
His whereabouts are currently unknown. He has been, effectively, disappeared.
On ‘Administrative Leave” from his job and tossed into a psych ward. For a book he wrote over a year ago.
This is wrong on so many levels. That a law enforcement officer would do such a thing, that any law enforcement agency would condone such behavior, and that it can happen in a society like ours.
I see a 7 or 8 figure settlement for him coming soon from the Dorchester County Sheriff. Plus some more from the School Board…..Lots of time for him to hone his writing skills in the future.
Now where I live, shooting at a burglar is not Kosher unless you can prove that he was a threat you.
Having said that, I think this story is grand.
The fruits of last weeks labors:
We got firewood for next year:
 |
| those rounds are 40″ + diameter. Tree was somewhere around 130 years old. |
Lots and lots of firewood:
 |
| Wind damaged trees supply most of my heat every winter. The smaller rounds are 20″-25″ dia, the larger one in the foreground is 34″ |
This was a big tree:
 |
||
| Unloading these from the trailer without the tractor and log tongs to lift them required a lot a careful work with a large bar….. |
There is more to get, but what with all the rain (nearly 7″ since the last Saturday when cleanup began), the ground near the tree is of a consistency somewhere between oatmeal and pudding. Kinda hard to carry rounds weighing in the range of 400-600 pounds through that. Traction becomes an issue, even with 4 wheel drive…..and he doesn’t need his yard torn up any more.
Now we just gotta split it into “stove bolt” sized chunks.
The cool thing is that in the 19 years that I have been heating with wood, I have never had to cut down a live tree. There is enough storm and wind and ice damage every year that I get plenty of firewood selected for me by Ma Nature. I just haveta cut it up and split it.
I mean, really. WHY NOT? (seriously, for those who are (ahem) challenged, click on the blue letters to see what I am talking about…..)
Seems to me that this should also be front page news….and there should be protests….and marches.
Oh, wait, White people aren’t subjects to mass media blitzes and propaganda to stir us up. It apparently doesn’t work that way for us. And we (generally) don’t do protests, and they seldom turn to riots.
We aren’t as stirred up as easily as other racial demographic groups either. We don’t (generally) wish to lynch people, but rather let the courts do their job.
Of course, if we were subject to such behavior, then there’d be charges of racism……
Only he was in too nice a prison.
How many kids and pilots died during the Vietnam war due to the messages that the Soviets intercepted and decrypted and passed on to the North Vietnamese? Decryptions that his espionage enabled?
So the most popular Baby name in Norway is…..
Mohhamed.
Bringing in Muslim workers to prop up their welfare system will soon lead to the destuction of their culture and their country.
Bet on it.
With the US it’ll be the Mexicans and then, eventually, the Muslims who destroy the “America” as we know it.
Perhaps Norway should have listened to this guy:
Deputy who killed former Napster COO after drifting into the bike lane while distracted by his laptop will NOT face charges because he was answering a work-related email on the laptop in the police car…..WHILE DRIVING.
Now….if you or I were to do this…say texting while driving…we’d be charged, jailed, and likely convicted of Manslaughter (or worse). …..maybe Negligent Homicide.
Even if we were to be responding to a “work email”.
This is negligence. Period And stupidity, but that goes without saying. Any lawsuits should be on the police officer, and not a burden to the taxpayers.
But he won’t be charged. Because he was “on duty” at the time of the incident. And because he was typing while driving on a police owned computer and responding to a work related email.
Like I said…Blue Suit of Immunity. When one is of (or at least a minion of) the Power Elite, one can, it appears, literally get away with murder.
It would seem that there are now, finally, limits to “Qualified Immunity”.
And it would appear that the INDIVIDUAL officers will be on the hook for their behavior in the botched SWAT raid…..Not the Taxpayers. Less payout for the plaintiffs, but still….
I expect that Cops will have to get liability insurance. Which might well not be a good thing. But then again, they ahve lost that blue suit of immunity that some wear to hide their behavior.
Now make no mistake, I don’t want to see cops sued over every little mistake, nor over everyday things they do in the performance of their duties.
But there does need to be a limit on their immunity.
So my sidebar links disappeared, then came back.
Now the links are there, and the description and times of last post are gone
Or not
THen gone again.
WTF are they doing at Google?
I mean, I am getting exactly the service I am paying for, I realize….But still, why is it brokeen so often?
