#2  Isn't this a familiar theme on a rather old LDS topic ?

Are we to assume an LDS kiddie scandal is not a mirror image of millstone hanging around the neck of the Catholic church as well ?

What are we talking about here, Red Delicious or Granny Smith ?

Wisconsin school district drops sexual harassment probe into 3 students accused of using the wrong pronouns
[FoxNews] A Wisconsin school district is closing a Title IX inquiry into three middle school students accused of sexual harassment for using improper pronouns.

"We have issued clear directives and expectations to all students involved in this matter for the purpose of preventing bullying and harassment and ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment for all of our students," Kiel School District said. "Based on these actions, and pursuant to District policies and procedures, the School District considers this matter closed."

The students subject to the Title IX inquiry were represented by a conservative legal group called the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty.

"We are pleased that the Kiel Area School District has finally ended its misguided Title IX investigation," the group said. "While the District’s statement attempts to reframe the investigation, it was always primarily about ‘mispronouning.’"

Title IX prohibits sexual harassment at schools that receive federal funding and demands schools facilitate an environment free from sex-based discrimination. It states: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

"The District may not be willing to admit it publicly, but it has recognized that it has no legal basis to demand that our clients refrain from 'mispronouning' other student," the legal group continued.

Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty also said it will ensure the inquiry is erased from the students' academic records.

"We wish they would have dismissed it right away – that could and should have happened," said an attorney with the legal group. "I don’t know why they took two weeks to dismiss it, but we’re glad they finally did.".

Following the Title IX inquiry, the district was plagued with bomb threats.

"Over the last several weeks, our school district and community have been greatly impacted by media attention related to a complaint involving harassment," the district said.

Local police will continue to collaborate with the FBI and the Wisconsin Department of Justice to investigate the threats, according to Fox 11.

Were these students not targeted for their concepts of sexual identity by persons of authority, causing personal damage?

#5  I'm trying to figure out where pronoun harassment lies. When addressing the person: "you" or the name. I can see that "Lardbutt" is probably an uncomfortable address, maybe even harassing.

But if the person isn't present, how is he going to know you're calling him "he" instead of "Xi"?

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Complete Coincidence? At Least 7 Large Farm Fires Occur in US in Last 10 Days
[Western Journal] There were seven major farm fires in the United States over a recent 10-day period.

In the big picture, they were for the most part relatively small-scale events. But with reports of so many fires at food production facilities, you can’t help but notice.

Coincidence? It could be. But it does get your attention.

A barn in Hanover Township, Ohio, burned Monday. Officials initially were concerned that a person was in the burning structure but found no people or animals inside, according to the Butler County Journal-News.

Saturday was a North Smithfield, Rhode Island, horse farm fire. Thankfully, none of the 40 horses was injured, but it was the second fire at the site in two days — a blaze Thursday destroyed a horse ring, WJAR-TV in Providence reported.

#1  A stack of green hay bales will spontaneously burst into flames if tightly stacked in a barn too soon before it has had a chance to dry out which is a common occurance early summer during hay cutting season.
Posted by: Black Charlie Slairt1430 || 06/08/2022 2:04 Comments || Top||

#2  Every farmer has heard stories of someone affected by a hay fire. It certainly isn’t a minor incident since it can damage property and threaten lives. While hay fires can occur during transportation, they are more likely to be caused by spontaneous combustion once the bales are at the farm.

Actually, wet hay is more likely to lead to spontaneous combustion than dry hay. If wet hay with more than 22% moisture is stored in a barn or stacked then the risk of spontaneous combustion is increased. Further, the wet hay loses in forage quality.

When the internal temperature of hay rises above 130 degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees C) it provokes a chemical reaction producing flammable gases that can ignite. Most hay fires occur within 6-weeks of baling. Heating occurs in all hay above 15% moisture, but generally peaks at 125 to 130 degrees F within three to seven days with a minimal risk of combustion or forage quality loss. In the next 15 to 60-days depending on stack density, external temperatures, humidity and rainfall the internal temperature will decline to a safe level.

#10  #2 Every farmer has heard stories of someone affected by a hay fire.

This only happens with fresh green bales when the hay has not been let dry properly in the field.

#18  This is why my mulch pile — tiny in comparison — is situated far from the house. Even damp, a pile of lawn clippings and autumn leaves “cooks” spontaneously as the materials break down into humus, becoming hot enough to kill insects and weed seeds.

I built a compost box three years ago, 1 cubic yard in volume, with pressurized 2" x 6" lumber. I got a temperature of 148 Fahrenheit a day after I loaded it, and the most recent batch (which I fucked up) still got a temp. of 126 F after a few days. Anything above 140 F and held for at least 24 hours will kill all seeds (crabgrass & other crap) and most pathogens.

The temperatures are caused by the nitrogen in the fresh grass (or hay, etc.) being released and interacting with the dead shit (carbon fuel). A small amount of water (sponge wet is how I've seen it described) helps with this decomposition process. Anything above 150 F can and will cause a fire.

Florida: Haiti's Special Olympics team mysteriously vanishes, leaves behind all luggage
[FoxNews] Florida authorities are investigating the mysterious disappearance of several members of Haiti’s Special Olympics delegation who are missing after they checked into their hotel room in Osceola County on Monday and were not seen again.

The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office identified six members of the Haitian Special Olympics soccer team who have not been seen since around 2:30 p.m. at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, the Orlando Sentinel reported. Osceola County is located just south of Orlando, Florida.

The individuals are Atione Joseph Mithon, 32; Nicholson Fontilus, 20; Peter Mianovich Berlus, 19; Anderson Petit-Frere, 18; Steevenson Jacquet, 24 and Oriol Jean, 18, WFTV in Orlando reported.

The Special Olympics USA Games released a statement later on Monday, saying five of the six missing individuals were not athletes and did not have a disability. The sixth has an intellectual disability, per the report.

Osceola County police do not suspect foul play.

While there is no indication the missing Haitian Nationals desired residency in the U.S., WFTV reports the number of Haitians who have attempted to illegally enter the U.S. tripled from 2020 to 2021.

The Human Rights Watch reported last year that political instability in Haiti's government has caused it to struggle to meet even citizens' basic needs. "Haiti is facing one of its worst outbreaks of violence since 1986," the report added.

Mexican President Vows to Influence American Elections
[OffthePress] Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador expressed he would be willing to influence the rhetoric surrounding the U.S. midterm elections if any candidate were to speak poorly about Mexicans, while speaking on his desire about the U.S. reforming its immigration system.

"We are not going to allow Mexican migrants to be questioned in campaigns to supposedly win votes, we do not accept xenophobia, we do not accept racism," he said at a May 20 press conference, referencing the U.S. November elections. He noted that his policy is "non-intervention and self-determination."

Ukrainian Perspective: Invasion of Ukraine: June 7th, 2022
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] 23:07 Military aid from Lithuania arrived in Ukraine - 20 military vehicles, including trucks and SUVs. Another 20 armored personnel carriers will arrive in the near future, Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas said.

22:32 Angela Merkel told why in 2008 she blocked the granting of Ukraine MAP - NATO Membership Action Plan. According to the ex-chancellor, "Ukraine was then a different country, it was strongly divided in the field of domestic politics." In addition, she suggested that then Russia would interfere with the accelerated entry, and "it would not do any good."

22:30 Ukraine wants to buy its Iron Dome missile defense system from Israel , Ukrainian Ambassador Yevhen Korneichuk said. According to him, this is necessary in order to protect cities and military installations from Russian missile attacks.

22:27 The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports that the process of returning the bodies of the dead defenders of Mariupol continues. To date, it has already been possible to return 210 Ukrainian soldiers, most of them are the heroic defenders of Azovstal. "All the dead must return to the territory controlled by Ukraine. And each of them is carried out on their last journey with honors befitting heroes," the message says.

22:24 In Germany, Russian spies have become more active, Interior Minister Nanzi Feser said: "The threat posed by Russian spies has reached unprecedented proportions. Basically, we are talking about cybercrime, but not only."

The minister added that an effective tool of the Kremlin services is the deliberate incitement of Russians living in Germany to spread disinformation about the war in Ukraine. The main direction in the actions of Russia are attempts to penetrate German decision-making centers with the help of agents.

21:50 First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation Sergei Kiriyenko visited Melitopol, the "mayor" of the city Galina Danilchenko said, adding that the region was beginning to prepare for a "referendum."

21:47 Collaborators are preparing a "referendum" in the Kherson region on its inclusion in the Russian Federation before the beginning of autumn, said the head of the OVA Gennady Laguta on the air of the telethon. According to him, on June 6, a meeting was held in the building of the Kherson regional administration, in which about 70 people and a representative of the Russian Federation took part: "There was a high-ranking Russian guest, according to our information, this is the deputy head of the presidential administration of Russia, who set the task for the collaborators of the region to prepare a "referendum" by autumn "On the inclusion of the region in the Russian Federation."

21:44 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that "Ukrainian nationalists" placed armored vehicles and equipped firing positions on the territory of elevators and granaries in a number of settlements of Kharkiv, Sumy regions, as well as the "DPR". In particular, on the territory of the Zolochevsky elevator in the Kharkiv region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine allegedly deployed "Western-style artillery guns, presumably American M777 howitzers, from which they fire at the border regions of the Russian Federation," Moscow said.

21:40 Greece will delay sending Soviet BMP-1s to Ukraine for at least two months, as Germany delays sending the Marder BMP to Athens, a source in the Greek Ministry of Defense told Bild.

21:38 The situation in Nikolaev and the region has deteriorated significantly: Russian troops are shelling the city and region from Pions almost every day, the head of the OVA Vitaly Kim said on the air of the telethon. According to him, Peonies cause much more harm, civilian casualties began to appear. So, in Bashtanka, two people died today alone. The governor advised those who had left not to return yet.

21:25 The Ministry of Culture of Ukraine announced that it plans to create a council on de-Russification, de-communization and decolonization: "Now we have held public discussions and initiated the creation of an advisory body - the Council under the Ministry and the Institute of National Remembrance, which will deal with issues of de-Russification, de-communization and decolonization. Bodies local self-government, in dialogue with society, should come to a common decision on the dismantling or transfer of monuments and other objects of the Soviet past and further coordinate it with the Council.

21:19 In the evening, a rocket attack was carried out in Kharkiv, at least two people were injured, Natalya Popova, adviser to the head of the regional council, said.

20:44 The Russian-appointed "chairman" of the Zaporizhia Regional State Administration Yevgeny Balitsky said that the first train with grain went to the Crimea. In particular, 11 wagons with grain from the Melitopol elevator went in the direction of the occupied peninsula.

20:21 There are currently no agreements on unblocking Ukrainian ports between Ukraine, Turkey and Russia, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said: "We emphasize that decisions should be made with the participation of all parties involved. Any agreements that do not take into account the interests of Ukraine will be rejected by us."

20:19 Russian troops are planning to capture Severodonetsk and cut the Lisichansk-Bakhmut highway before June 10, said the head of the Lugansk OVA, Sergei Gaidai, on the air of the telethon. According to him, for this, the Russians brought a large amount of equipment and personnel. Gaidai also said that Lisichansk was being subjected to massive shelling, since the enemy had no way to get close to the city.

20:10 Grain from Ukraine cannot be transported to the Baltic ports through Belarus, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said. According to him, Lukashenka made it clear that he supports Russian military aggression: “In my opinion, the situation has only worsened recently, and Lukashenka has shown that he is in the same boat with Putin in this vile aggression. My opinion and assessment do not change - We need to look for other alternatives."

Nauseda also said that he does not see the possibility of resuming the transit of Belarusian fertilizers through Lithuania - such a condition for the transportation of Ukrainian grain through Belarus is put forward by Lukashenka.

19:54 Three shooters and a machine gunner of the "DPR" army were sentenced to 15 years for treason and participation in preparations for hostilities against Ukraine, the Prosecutor General's Office said. In court, it was proved that the convicts, being citizens of Ukraine, went over to the side of the enemy. In March 2022, they arrived in the Kharkiv region in order to contribute to the further occupation of the territory of Ukraine by the armed forces of the Russian Federation. There they were detained by servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

19:51 Fake newspapers have been printed for Ukrainian prisoners of war. In the pre-trial detention center, the fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will read that Ukraine has been completely captured, and its army has been defeated. As conceived by the authors of this "idea", the prisoners will become more accommodating, Vladimir Osechkin, founder of the human rights organization Gulagu.net , said on the Air program.

According to him, the FSB has already begun to produce newspapers, as well as television and radio programs that will imitate the Ukrainian and independent press for prisoners of war in the pre-trial detention center in Rostov-on-Don.

UN did not confirm Ukraine's accusations against Russia of stealing grain
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[RIA Novosti] The UN does not have confirmation of Ukraine's statements about the alleged theft of grain by Russia, said the representative of the secretary general of the organization Stefan Dujarric.

"We are in contact with the office of the World Food Program, they do not confirm these accusations," he said at a press conference.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that there were no problems with the export of grain from Ukraine . In addition, he called the allegations that Moscow allegedly hinders the transportation of food, a bluff. The head of state called on Kiev to clear the ports for the safe passage of ships.

Putin noted that grain can also be exported along the Danube through Romania , Hungary and Poland . The cheapest way is through Belarus , but for this you need to lift sanctions, he explained.

However, on Monday evening, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky refused to export grain through Belarus and help "friendly" neighbors.

#1  Belarus allowed Russian troops passage on their way to invade. Why should the Ukraine trade with them?
Posted by: Rob Crawford || 06/08/2022 6:42 Comments || Top||

#2  Unfortunately “UKRAINE” doesn’t have choices, Ukraine will cease to exist in the nexts weeks or months. Right now it’s just noise, It’s over! Capisci.
Did you really think that everything will be as was?
Germans Italian French and the rest cannot compete in the world without Russian resources. Using American resources will put them out of business.
Russia will not permit this to repeat, if the euro wants to keep their standards of life, trading with Russia will demand the American/European military alliances to be terminated.
You will see, in the nexts few months the European military and political detachment from the North American sphere. The CIA screw up biggly…..

Ain't gonna happen. I can see them maybe pinching off a little along their common border, but central Ukraine is flat and undefendable. Not the place to fight the Poles/NATO.

At the same time, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine can be in the hundreds of thousands of fighters, said the former deputy head of the US European Command, Lieutenant General Stephen Twitty.

" A total of 200,000 fighters somehow mysteriously disappeared from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and no one will say where they are today. A huge number of soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine simply fell out of sight of the American curators. Either there was misinformation about the mobilization, or they are crushed," concluded Twitty.

21:45 More than 22,000 people were evacuated to the Russian Federation from the territories of Donbass and Ukraine per day.

21:45 Kyiv, with the support of the West, actually resorts to food terrorism against its own people.

In particular, on the territory of the Zolochevsky elevator (Kharkiv region), the militants placed Western-style artillery pieces, presumably American M777 howitzers, from which they fire at the border regions of the Russian Federation.

Bank MRB opened. Ruble accounts have been opened, and enterprises can carry out activities."

10:40 Today, our artillery has been actively working since early morning, supporting the advancing units of the Russian army. We are advancing from the north in the direction of Slavyansk, which is less than 20 km away.

Subdivisions of the RF Armed Forces have reached the outskirts of Bogorodichne settlement, fire damage is inflicted on the enemy defending the settlement. Krasnopolie and Dolina.

Groups of Russian special forces continue to clear a large forest north of Krasnopolye, from which the enemy received reinforcements and where he went in case of hard shelling.

In the forests, there are shooting battles and mine warfare, fortified areas in settlements (where often every house with a basement is a firing point) fire damage is inflicted by artillery and tanks.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine practically does not try to counterattack, they respond with artillery and mortars, although the fire is quite dense. Apparently, despite the numerical superiority, Ukrainian defense will soon collapse.

08:50 In the new agreement with Ukraine, if Kyiv nevertheless makes contact with Moscow, the status of the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions will not be discussed, just as the issue with Crimea and Donbass is closed for Moscow, a high-ranking source in Russia.

"Moscow was ready to stop the special operation back in March, during the negotiations of the delegations in Antalya. Then Ukraine itself offered a neutral status and security guarantees without including Donbass and Crimea. [President of the Russian Federation] Vladimir Putin was ready to take this step, but the West put pressure on Ukraine, and therefore Kyiv withdrew its proposal," said the source of Izvestia.

Talking to trolls: Confessions of a fake news writer in Bulgaria
[DW] A Bulgarian man who ran a fake news website for four years tells DW why disinformation about Russia is most popular in former Soviet states like his homeland.

"If I can't convince them they are wrong, I might as well make some money out of them," argued Dimitar, a Bulgarian man who spent years earning income from spreading disinformation and fake news at home.

It was this thought that set Dimitar, who would not give DW his real name for fear of repercussions, on the road to becoming an administrator of what he calls a "fake news website" in Bulgaria. The "them" he is talking about are people who fall for disinformation online. Making money out of them turned out to be easier than he ever imagined.

#1  Yup, we've got it in America too. Here's a piece about the deeper psychological motivations behind those who cling to fake news and won't let go.

People Who Defend Empire Narratives Are Really Just Defending Their Worldview From Destruction. If you consider the possibility that the news media and their government are lying about Ukraine, you must necessarily consider the possibility that they're lying about other things, too.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • As prices surge in US amid inflation levels not seen in 50 years, companies have engaged in practice called product downsizing, or 'shrinkflation,' to cut costs

  • Notable brands to 'shrinkflate' their products in recent months as the American dollar continues to lessen in value include Charmin, Bounty, and Gatorade

  • As bottom lines continue to tighten, more companies are starting to follow suit

  • Joining the parade of downsized products is Honey Bunches of Oats, which has seen the weight of its standard box, previously 14.5 ounces, lessen to 12 ounces

  • Another shrinkflation casualty to emerge in recent weeks was instant coffee provider Folger's, which shrank the size of its canisters by 7.5 ounces

  • The US inflation rate hit 8.5 percent in March, the highest seen since 1981

#2  Little Debbie just lost their truck drivers to Walmart.$15,000 more income per year. Raw materials a problem now also. Packaging materials especially difficult. Orders cut. So your income is based on selling product. You still need income to live and cover expenses. Do as many independent truckers are doing, quit and work doing something else but the tight labor market is not going to last.

Mention sizes and prices several months ago.

Coffee now 42 oz down from 48 oz.
In some cases, stores are applying the 42 oz Large Container price to the 22-24 oz smaller containers and not stocking the large ones.


Cans of corn now 15 oz down from 16 oz. and up 19 cents.

Bacon $7.04 LBS being sold in 12 oz packs instead of 16 oz.

BTW: Not surprising, Aunt Jemima, now WOKE renamed and called PERL MILLING Company, is NOT selling and the shelves are loaded. They also used the rebranding to lose 40ml (about 1.4 OZ) in size during their rebranding.

Even the Black Community is pissed off about the name change.

One Black customer comment I heard in Wally World, "They took a successful Black person off the label and renamed it like some damn White company. "

Czech Republic eyes refugee labor boost
Doing well by doing good.
[DW] An estimated 6 million refugees have poured out of Ukraine as they flee Russia's invasion. Their welcome in central Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
has been generous and genuine. Now some hosts are also considering potential benefits.


As it is not a direct neighbor to Ukraine, the Czech Republic has seen fewer refugees arrive than some nations closer. But while many Ukrainians who enter the European Union

International-UN-NGOs
UN Funded Invasion
[Federalist] AUSTIN, Texas — During a recent trip to a Reynosa, Mexico migrant camp, I took photos of a United Nations-supported International Organization for Migration (IOM) operation to hand out cash debit cards to intending and repeat border crossers.

One of two workers at a plastic folding table inside the Reynosa camp, which was filled to capacity with at least 1,200 mostly U.S.-expelled Central Americans, said they were distributing the cards for IOM to help migrants waiting until they cross the Rio Grande at greater leisure to claim asylum, for which most will be declared ineligible years later. Many parents, for instance, got about $400 every 15 days, I was told, or $800 a month if they were still there to collect it, although the support level varied.
Much more at the link. We need to quit financing the UN.

Imagine, for a second, CCP using it as a weapon circling the earth. Or as a commercial venture to sell energy to various cities or countries.

It also brings back memories of a ScFi novel written by Isaac Asimov or Arthur C. Clarke?

Of a Space Elevator, which failed, collapses and wipes out multiple Countries with 22,000+ miles of materials.
