#1  I'm going to guess neither side is as pure as the Floridian snow.

I was nodding along until I saw the hacktivist Crump is involved. Then I noticed there was no reason to be at the Sheriff's station because Lorincz had been arrested. The tranny convinced me of the crises actors.

I have questions - Are those kick scuffs on the door? Where is this mystery iPad? Why is every incident on Lorincz's property?

Wild moment unhinged woman attacks a mother and baby in Manhattan and then went on a violent rampage for 30 minutes lunging at people before NYPD arrested her
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] 30 minutes before NYPD officers arrived
Mentally ill? Drugs? Got up on the wrong side of the bed? No matter — she’ll be out on the street after the standard three-day mental health hold. Unless holding her is racist, in which case she’ll be let go after being offered a good meal.
  • A woman went on the rampage in New York's East Village attacking a woman and her baby, flipping over tables and smashing drinks

  • Video footage shows the woman lunging at a mother, pulling another woman's hair, and causing chaos by overturning tables on the sidewalk

  • The disturbance lasted for around 30 minutes before NYPD officers arrived on the scene and placed the woman into an ambulance to be taken to Bellevue Hospital for a mental health evaluation

-Great Cultural Revolution
Outrageous! Christian Man Arrested for Reciting Bible Verse at Pride Event in Pennsylvania (VIDEO)
[Gateway] A Christian man was arrested while exercising his first amendment right at a Pride event held in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

Reading the Bible in public places is generally considered a protected form of free speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The First Amendment guarantees individuals the right to freedom of speech, which includes the right to express religious beliefs.

Damon Atkins, a devout Christian, attended the event to share his religious beliefs and to express his interpretation of scripture.

Reading’s first-ever "Pride March and Rally," supported by Mayor Eddie Moran, drew dozens of people outside the City Hall.

Atkins walked up to a public sidewalk just across the street from City Hall, holding a slogan that says "Jesus said go and sin no more."

Police Sergeant Bradley T. McClure approached Atkins to intervene and prevent him from reciting the Bible verse, emphasizing respect for the LGBTQ+ community’s pride rally. Atkins responded by asserting his right to freely express himself, citing the fact that they were in a public space.

Atkins continued and chose to read from 1 Corinthians 14:33, which states, "For God is not a God of disorder but of peace." However, before he could finish reading the verse, McClure rushed toward Atkins and placed him under arrest.

It took less than sixty seconds for Atkins to be placed in handcuffs, according to The Lancaster Patriot.

#9  I just watched the video that covered the incident from a local police sergeant giving a "warning" that the individual on a public sidewalk across the street from the rally held a small sign and was preparing to read a bible verse. The sergeant loitered nearby and the moment the man began to read the verse the sergeant proclaimed "Thats it, you're done" And arrested him for the exercise of free speech on public property. Watch the video and then note the arresting charges: "As per a court document acquired by The Lancaster Patriot, Damon Atkins faced charges of “Disorderly Conduct Engage in Fighting.”

The criminal complaint entails “the intent to cause substantial public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof, he engages in fighting or threatening, or in violent or tumultuous behavior” and that Atkins “despite being warned by police just moments prior, yelled derogatory comments at an organization that was holding a permitted event.”

This is a shocking abuse of police power and outright perjury by the arresting officer.

Anheuser-Busch in Hot Water with EPA
[NH Union Leader, hat tip to Epoch Times] Anheuser-Busch will pay $537,000 in penalties and conduct a safety review of all 11 of its breweries that use anhydrous ammonia, the Environmental Protection Agency announced Monday.
NOT included here is the picture of the plastic-faced twit with cans of Bud Light.
The settlement, which includes the company’s brewery in Merrimack, resolves violations of the Clean Air Act’s chemical accident prevention requirements and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act, the EPA said in a news release.

Are There Peppers Hotter Than the Carolina Reaper?
[Pepper Joe's] If you consider yourself a chili pepper guru, you know by now that the Carolina Reaper pepper is on record as the hottest pepper in the world. However, you’d also know that other pepper gurus are constantly trying to out-do the Reaper by growing pepper strains that pack some serious (we mean serious) heat. And so far, there have been some contenders that want to take the title of the World’s Hottest Pepper.

According to Guinness World Records, the Carolina Reaper is still officially the hottest chili pepper in the world, reaching 1,569,000 Scoville heat units, although some Reapers have apparently tested even higher! This pepper earned its title on November 14, 2013 and has since dominated the pepper growing community with its unique flavor and high-intensity heat.

But is the Carolina Reaper sitting in the hot seat? Unofficial tests held around the world indicate that there are peppers out there that blow the Reaper away in terms of heat. We’ve gathered our list of super-hot peppers that have either come close to, or are close to, officially knocking the Carolina Reaper off its throne as the World’s Hottest Chili Pepper.

Europe
France announces massive state aid to chips factory
[AlAhram] La Belle France is ploughing 2.9 billion euros ($3.1 billion) of public money into a factory to make microchips, officials said on Monday, heating up a global race for the lucrative market.

Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
and the United States have both passed so-called Chips Acts to boost investment in the sector as fears grow that China could gain a stranglehold on global supply.
"Don't trust China. China is asshole"
Chips, also known as semiconductors, are vital for every electronic device, from smartphones to electric cars, and control of supply chains has become a major priority for the world's biggest trading blocs.

La Belle France's economy ministry said the state aid was the biggest subsidy it had offered since 2017.

The funding would go towards a 7.5-billion-euro project announced last year to be run by European multinational STMicroelectronics and US company GlobalFoundries.

The European Chips Act aims to unlock 43 billion euros of investment and for the bloc to produce 20 percent of the world's chips by 2030.

Europe currently accounts for less than 10 percent of the global total, with most of the world's chips being made in Taiwan.

The French ministry said the project, in the Alpine town of Crolles near Grenoble in southeastern La Belle France, would boost European production capacity by almost six percent by 2028.

The battle to secure supplies of semiconductors was supercharged during the pandemic when lockdowns and other measures caused a supply crunch and brought industries across the world to a grinding halt.

The US Chips Act is one of several laws aimed at funnelling hundreds of billions of dollars to US firms at the expense of foreign competitors.

Beijing has denied it is seeking to seize global supply lines and has slammed the US Chips Act as "100-percent protectionism".

Government Corruption
The Air Force Is Using Taxpayer Money To Fly Service Members To Branch ‘Pride' Events
[Federalist] The U.S. Air Force has authorized Air and Space Force commanders to use taxpayer money to cover the travel costs for service members seeking to attend the branch’s upcoming "pride" events.

On June 1, Marianne Malizia, the director of the Air Force’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion, issued a memo notifying branch commanders of several upcoming LGBT-related events in Washington, D.C., hosted by the Department of the Air Force (DAF). According to the memo, Air and Space Force commanders will be permitted to utilize "unit funds" to pay for service members under their command to "travel to, and participate in, this year’s DAF Pride events if approved by their individual supervisory authority."

"Service members or civilian employees may attend conferences at the unit expense to maintain and improve professional competency or to improve management of the Department’s functions and activities," the memo reads. The DAF justifies the use of taxpayer money to pay for such travel under Section 030201 of the Defense Department’s Joint Travel Regulation, which establishes "travel and transportation allowances" for military service members.

Is the end nigh? NYT goes after ethanol
[HOT Air] The Climate Solution That’s Horrible for the Climate

Do tell!

...It’s fairly well-known that farm-grown fuels like corn ethanol and soy biodiesel accelerate food inflation and global hunger, but they’re also a disaster for the climate and the environment. And that’s mainly because they’re inefficient land hogs. It takes about 100 acres worth of biofuels to generate as much energy as a single acre of solar panels; worldwide, a land mass larger than California was used to grow under 4 percent of transportation fuel in 2020.

Actually, in the Green world, it’s not "fairly well known," as climate advocates have done everything they can to pummel the fossil fuel industry and bury any whiff of hypocrisy, environmental harms, deleterious effects on society, or misstatement of efficacy as far their biodiesel and alternate fuels claims go.

Russiagate Prober Durham Neglected DNC Hack Claim, Despite Evidence It Too Was a Democrat Sham
[RealClearWire] Special Counsel John Durham’s final report faults the FBI for opening the Trump-Russia collusion investigation on baseless grounds and relying on Hillary Clinton-funded material to pursue it, all while ignoring a warning that Clinton was plotting to frame Trump as a Russian asset. Yet Durham does not address the Clinton campaign’s equally central tie to Russiagate’s other foundational allegation: that Russia interfered in the 2016 election by hacking Democratic party servers and releasing the material through Wikileaks to help elect Trump.

Durham’s silence on the Clinton team’s role in generating this unproven claim comes despite his unearthing of evidence that newly calls it into question.

Incredible video tour of a state-of-the-art U.S nuclear submarine - which has an onboard diner, wood-panelled officers' quarters and a periscope operated by an XBOX CONTROLLER
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The USS Indiana is a multi-billion-dollar state-of-the–art U.S nuclear-powered submarine, capable of staying submerged for three months at a time and firing 16 Tomahawk cruise missiles in a single salvo.

She has the latest in stealth technology, can travel at up to 29mph (25 knots) and can dive to depths of at least 800 feet (her actual dive capabilities are classified). What's more, Navy Seal forces can exit and enter the submarine while she's under the water from a chamber within the vessel.

By all accounts, she's one of the most lethal boats on the planet – and now you can peek inside thanks to fascinating footage vlogger Terry Fields filmed when he clambered down the hatch for a tour during 'Fleet Week' at Port Everglades in Florida.

The video, which has been viewed over 200,000 times on YouTube, shows the captain's quarters, the stylish mess hall and Fields clambering inside a torpedo tube.

What aspects of the submarine impressed him? 'Certainly, the control room,' Fields told MailOnline Travel. There, he learns from his tour guide - the submarine's commander, Scott Bresnahan - that sailors use an Xbox controller to control the periscope.

#1  Tell me again why space force was a spin off from the Air Force? This is how people are going to operate in any sustained exo-earth environment.

#2  Now you know why the things have such a cost overrun. Those damn Xbox controllers cost a fortune.

#3  How is this not classified? The Navy put a sailor in prison for snapping pics - although his pics were in the nuke section of the boat...

How dare you assume pronouns!

#5  spent 4 years underwater before leaving the Navy. The crews on these boats are ... fill in the blank. They are unable to run-in-place or lift weights because that creates noise. Food is great - perfect thing for filling veins with plaque. After getting married I also did not want to go back to cold bunking.
