[PJ] In the year 410, Alaric, the leader of the Visigoths, attacked Rome and succeeded in sacking it. Rome had been battling with enemies for years along its far-flung borders, and in some cases had admitted some of these people into the empire. But Alaric and his army did what many Romans thought was unthinkable: entered the city itself. The invasion was blamed by some on the rise of Christianity and a shift away from the ancient traditions and gods. This moved Augustine to write "The City of God," in which he argued that Rome was suffering retribution for its past sins and unrighteousness, not because of the rising religion. The city would be hit again by the Vandals in 455, before finally falling in 476 to Germanic tribes.
[ZH] As governments around the world begin instituting Covid-19 'passports' which will dictate the level of participation one is afforded within society - regardless of naturally acquired immunity or actual risk to the public from the unvaccinated (considering that the majority of transmission occurs in the home), people have begun to push back against authoritarian tactics to control privileges and push vaccines.
In America, the 'my body, my choice' crowd has suddenly invented conditions for their own mantra. Of course, some will have explanations for how this is all wrong. "Lies! All lies!"
Regardless of how well vaccination rates and lockdowns actually work. See the charts in the article

[Wirepoints] UPDATE 10/9/21: A request has now been made for an investigation over what appears to be an orchestrated effort to silence parents at school boards and gave rise to Garland’s directive.
It’s tempting to see the new directive by Attorney General Merrick Garland as merely a transparent attempt to intimidate parents into silence on opinions that the Biden Administrations doesn’t like. But it’s worse than that. It’s worth going though the reasons why this misconduct by federal law enforcement is so appalling, and to remind parents why they should not be deterred.
Many parents in Illinois and across the country have spoken out recently with unprecedented anger in unprecedented numbers at school board meetings and beyond. Their complaints have been about Critical Race Theory in classrooms, mask mandates and explicit materials for minors about sexuality and gender. We’ve written here often supporting some of those complaints. My colleague Ted Dabrowski and I have participated in some of the efforts directed toward our own childrens’ schools.
But on Monday, Garland issued a directive to the FBI and federal law enforcement officials across the nation to focus on alleged criminal conduct in protests by parents.
Outrage ensued immediately, and appropriately, from parents, their organizations and commentators who are infuriated that a threat of federal law enforcement is being used to try to scare them out of constitutionally protected speech.
Garland’s Department of Justice has responded simply by saying it isn’t true, and its defenders, particularly MSNBC, have cited examples of conduct by parents that allegedly were either inappropriate or illegal.
Linked here are Garland’s directive and an accompanying DOJ press release. They should be read in conjunction with a letter sent by the National School Boards Association late last month to President Biden, which gave rise to the directive. It claimed that school officials are "under immediate threat" and asked Biden to sic nearly the full force of the national security establishment on offending parents.

Surround Garland's house and make a shit ton of noise, like the left did with Tucker Carlson a few years ago. Follow him around and record him in bathrooms like the left did with Sen. Sinema earlier this week.

Sue the teacher/education unions for slander and libel. Then go after Garrick's daughter and son in law for conflict of nterest. Finally haul Garrick up for ethics charges at his bar.
[DW] Twenty years ago, the US-led allied forces went into Afghanistan and toppled the Taliban ...Arabic for students... 's hard-line Islamic regime. Twenty years later, the Death Eaters are back in power, but is Afghanistan the same country?
On October 7, 2001, the US invaded Afghanistan to avenge the al-Qaeda-orchestrated September 11 terrorist attacks. The primary aim of the US invasion was to hunt down the late Osama bin Laden

[Regnum] The miracle never happened in the Far East. On April 23-24, 1905, despite the ban, a new Zemstvo congress was convened in Moscow - after what happened, the authorities did not dare to move from words to actions.
[DW] Unauthorized immigration to Europe went down at the peak of the pandemic. As EU countries reopen, migrant flows are back up.
As European countries emerge from the peaks of the pandemic, the masks are off and lockdowns seem to be a thing of the past. With high vaccination rates, many European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... countries are facing a brave new post-COVID-19 future.

Add to it we already have almost 19 Million Illegally here in the US, not paying federal taxes and only state/local sales taxes.
There is no doubt they are a drain on our economy and medical resources. Plus where Illegals congregate serious violent crime tends to increase.
Not to mention failing to properly secure border is allowing Gangs and the Drug Cartels do as they please (eg.. drugs, guns, sex trafficking of kids and more.)
[Babylon Bee] WASHINGTON, D.C.—CNN has just released a bombshell interview with an anonymous White House whistleblower, who gave a harrowing account that could spell trouble for the Biden administration.
Speaking with Jake Tapper, the whistleblower—who identifies as a "White House aide who is young, with no hair plugs or dentures and definitely not Joe Biden"—gave an account of brutal working conditions in the White House.
"Listen, folks, here's the deal," said the unidentified whistleblower through a distortion filter to protect his identity. "It stinks here, Jack! Strangers drag me from place to place and make me sign papers and read words on monitors and I hardly get any ice cream!"

Might warn us that this is from the Babylon Bee.
Of course, the lead "CNN has just released a bombshell interview...that could spell trouble for the Biden administration" is pretty much a dead giveaway. CNN would never, ever do that.

Perhaps Joe is "tired of that hotel" and wishes to stay elsewhere ?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
