[NYPOST] A Manhattan parking-garage worker who was shot in the stomach by a would-be thief before wrestling the gun away and injuring the suspect, holds no ill-will towards his assailant, a family friend told The Post. When I was a young man, back in the Upper Paleolithic, people would occasionally shoot at me, or at least in my direction. I always held it against them. Still do, in fact.
Moussa Diarra, 57, was initially hit with an attempted-murder rap for shooting his alleged attacker, Charles Rhodie.
The charges were quickly dropped.
The two men tussled during an April 1 altercation at a Meyer’s Parking garage on West 31st Street.
“He’s happy to be doing better and to be released soon. He keeps a positive mind, he’s a good person. He’s not even angry about what happened to him. We’re thanking God everyday,” said Mariame Diarra Souabo, a family friend who used to live in the same apartment as Diarra and his family in the Bronx, said of the attendant.
Souabo, like Diarra and his family, hails from West Africa, Ivory Coast. She said the only person currently visiting him is his wife. Souabo said she spoke with Diarra over the phone on Thursday.
The parking attendant is “undecided on whether he will return to work,” she said.

Fool. He’s not even angry about what happened to him.
It's the drugs.
[NYPOST] A Houston teen sucker-punched a teacher in the face after his cellphone was confiscated, video posted to social media shows.
In a 12-second viral clip making the rounds on Twitter, the agitated student towers over the paunchy educator and repeatedly asks for his "f—king phone."
"Give me my f—king phone, n—a! I told you to give me my phone! Give me my phone!" the 15-year-old demands.
The teacher calmly replies, "Go sit down," before the teen steps back and rocks the unsuspecting older man with a right-handed roundhouse punch.
Screams of horror from a bystander out of frame can be heard before the video ends. Incredibly, the teacher stayed on his feet.
Neither student or teacher have been publicly identified
The incident occurred at Lamar High School in Houston, where school principal Rita Graves sent a letter to families vowing such behavior will not be tolerated, according to KHOU 11.
"We do not condone and will not tolerate this type of behavior. It is always our top priority to maintain an environment where our students and staff are safe," the principal wrote, adding, "Administrators will be looking into the cause of the altercation and continue to evaluate ways to prevent these occurrences in the future."
"Unfortunately, this kid’s made a huge mistake," Zeph Capo, union president of the Texas American Federation of Teachers (AFT), told the station.
When the teacher instructs the student to sit down, the student sucker-punches the educator.
Capo called for the student to be punished and kept away from the high school.
"By all means, he should not be allowed back on a regular campus," Capo said. "This is not something that needs to be tolerated. ... Unfortunately, we see too much of this. We see too much of this happening toward our teachers and toward our school employees."
KHOU recently gathered data on reported assaults against school employees in the Houston area’s largest districts.
The stats revealed at least 520 incidents in the 2021-22 school year, which is more than double any of the five previous years, the outlet reported.

[News Punch] According to Klaus Schwab’s WEF, misinformation on the internet is an "infodemic" that is "potentially deadly" and requires a "cure." The definition of misinformation, according to the WEF, is any content on the internet that they disagree with. This means the WEF’s hundreds of thousands of information warriors will be engaged in the act of shutting down dissent against the globalist elite.
The WEF are subliminally influencing the masses in order to push their narratives onto the people.
Announcing the news on a WEF podcast, UN communications director Melissa Fleming said "So far, we’ve recruited 110,000 information volunteers, and we equip these information volunteers with the kind of knowledge about how misinformation spreads and ask them to serve as kind of ’digital first-responders’ in those spaces where misinformation travels."
Also on the podcast, mainstream journalist Mark Little sets out potential solutions to the so-called "infodemic."
Little has worked for Twitter and founded Storyful, a social media news agency closely linked to the fact-checking program. He has now launched Kinzen, a company which is threatening to use artificial intelligence to censor online content on behalf of the elites.
"I’ve started to see the spread of misinformation as a global health crisis," Little tells World Vs Virus. "Misinformation is that serious a threat to our society.
"Misinformation is happening within our friends and families. So we have to find strategies to, first of all, recognize it. And, secondly, as active citizens, just like we wear masks to protect others, we need to be the good citizen, the active vector fighting back in our daily lives."
The WEF are determined to control the internet and they have had a major hand in pushing Senate Bill 686, also known as the TikTok Ban Bill, which gives American citizens 20 YEARS in prison for spreading so-called disinformation.
This is the most dangerous bill since the Patriot Act in 2001 and we made a whole video exposing how it will allow the globalist elite to colonize America and the free world. The link is under this video in case you haven’t seen it.
Raising awareness about this bill and ensuring it is rejected is of the utmost importance. So far, we the people have done a great job at exposing the evils inside the bill. But we can’t rest on our laurels. The globalist elite are attacking us on numerous fronts.
The World Economic Forum is not the only globalist organization setting its sights on controlling the narrative on social media by unleashing hundreds of thousands of "information warriors."
A global influence campaign funded by the Israeli government had a $1.1 million budget last year, a document obtained by The Electronic Intifada shows.
According to the leaked documents, the state of Israel employs an army of 15,000 people to "influence foreign publics" and they maintain three offices in three different countries solely dedicated to controlling the narrative on the internet.
[The Blaze] JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently suggested in his annual letter to shareholders that the federal government and large corporations may have to seize private property from U.S. citizens to advance climate initiatives, which he claimed are not being implemented fast enough to avoid potential climate-related crises.
According to Dimon's Tuesday letter, in order to acquire "adequate investments fast enough for grid, solar, wind and pipeline initiatives," governments and businesses may need to implement "eminent domain."
Eminent domain is the ability of the government to take private property and convert it for public use following just compensation to the property's owner.
Dimon argues that private properties may need to be seized to permit green energy projects and grow the nation's grid infrastructure. He expressed concern about having limited time to tackle the climate crisis and noted that not enough resources are being invested in green initiatives. Therefore, Dimon argued, it may be the right time to consider invoking eminent domain to avoid climate-related disasters.

Sorry about those property and school tax increases. The country seems to suddenly be awash in newly arrived school-age children. New indoctrination centers must be built !
Climate change? No, it's got nothing to do with 'climate change' but you knew that.

Ironic, isn't it. Utilities have always had imminent domain to build necessary infrastructure, but many such projects are stifled by environmental 'issues'. Now the climate envrio cult will push their own 'essential' necessary projects. But the old 'birds and bunnies' crowd will be pushed aside.

Not for climate insanity, but I recall about 20 years ago when some New England jurisdiction pulled that eminent domain b.s. on some residential area to build a shopping mall (private to private, not a highway or something more 'public'), and they justified it by claiming the tax revenue was worth the endeavor.

I remember the Kelo v New London case. Some opponents suggested the homes of the Supreme Court justices who ruled in favor of that travesty be seized and converted into Bed and Breakfast's as the tax revenue would justify it.

4% of the people over 65 are taking care of their grand-children. Isn’t life terrible? Are they counting couples? If so them it is only 2%. A better question is how much financial assistance does the government provide.

I know a fair number of grandparents providing various degrees of care or support for grandchildren, for various reasons. As the ‘family genealogist’ I know this is nothing new. Reasons change with time but it’s probably why we have evolved with a lifespan of TWO generations.

In 1930, for reasons unknown, wife’s grandmother left the family and disappeared; wife’s 3 year old mother was raised by great-aunt, who to this day remembers that pain. Wife’s mother raised eight kids, total of one divorced (after 20+ years). 15 grandkids, total of two divorced, and the ratio continues (I can’t count that high without paper even with my shoes off..)
[Kansas City Star] Leaders of the largest county at Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks say they will not answer questions from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives about local gun businesses.
At Thursday’s county commission meeting, Presiding Commissioner Ike Skelton notified the public that the ATF had recently sent emails to county staffers asking whether four gun businesses were in compliance with local zoning and business licensing regulations.
Skelton said the county would not cooperate and read aloud from a letter he intended to send to the ATF on Camden County letterhead.
The commissioner said the ATF had been "weaponized" under the Biden administration and said he viewed the information request as part of a larger attempt to revoke federal firearm licenses.
"I believe it is their intent to revoke as many licenses as possible to squeeze them down to the large sellers such as Bass Pro, Academy Sports, things of this nature, so they can keep a very close eye on who is and who is not selling firearms," Skelton said. "I think they want to squeeze the small business person out the best possible way they can."
John Ham, spokesman for the ATF’s Kansas City field division, said the agency’s inquiries were routine: the law requires that the ATF check whether gun manufacturers and sellers are in compliance with local zoning and business regulations. The only time those questions are asked, he said, is when the agency is considering issuing new licenses or renewing existing ones.
"That’s what is prompting our inquiries — trying to put people into the firearms business," Ham said. "It has nothing to do with taking people out of the firearms business."
Reached on the phone Thursday afternoon, Skelton rejected that explanation.
"I do not trust the ATF at all," he said. "I think they will use anything they can to revoke licenses."
#1
The Chinese box stores remain in ATF regulatory compliance, others may not. Eventual confiscation is made much easier with a government database of owners.
Squeezing the small, licensed firearms dealer out of business is also an objective. It's ultimately about government control.
I can't help but wonder if there is a Federal database somewhere of gasoline powered F-150's ?

WA State is one vote away from putting FFLs out of business with new law that allows the AG to declare anything (just about) a public nuisance. A devoted gun grabber, if this law passes, watch for it.

I can't help but wonder if there is a Federal database somewhere of gasoline powered F-150's ?
State vehicle registrations have make, model and year, so it should be easy enough to query for F-150s made before a certain date. That would not give you all of them, but a big percentage.

There was a time when I thought that the Dems were not stupid enough to try a confiscation. I do believe that they are stupid enough, but I don’t believe that a confiscation wil go any better than the evacuation of Kabull.

[Shafaq News] China launched military drills around Taiwan on Saturday, in what it called a "stern warning" to the self-ruled island's government following a meeting between its president and the U.S. House speaker.
Dubbed "United Sharp Sword", the three-day operation will run until Monday, the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) Eastern Theatre Command said in a statement.
It will take place in "the maritime areas and air space of the Taiwan Strait, off the northern and southern coasts of the island, and to the island's east", said Shi Yin, a PLA front man, according to state news agency Xinhua.
China on Thursday began deploying warships around Taiwan. In the past 24 hours, three Chinese warships sailed through waters surrounding Taiwan, according to the island's defence ministry.
The exercise will also include live-fire drills on Monday off the coast of China's Fujian province, which faces Taiwan, the local maritime authority said in a statement.
missiles and fighter jets around Taiwan in its largest show of force in years, following a trip to the island by McCarthy's predecessor, Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments... Enjoying well-deserved retirement in Corleone, Sicily, or someplace like that McCarthy had originally planned to go to Taiwan himself. The decision to meet in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, instead was viewed as a compromise that would underscore support for Taiwan but avoid inflaming tensions with Beijing.
There were no immediate signs of heightened military activity on Pingtan, a southwestern Chinese island that is the closest point on the mainland to Taiwan.
A handful of cargo ships cruised through the waters near the coastline, while tourists in sunglasses and baseball caps snapped selfies on the viewing platforms.
But Fujian's provincial maritime authority has warned vessels not to enter waters near the live-fire drills on Monday.
Tsai returned to Taiwan on Friday after visiting her island's dwindling band of official diplomatic allies in Latin America, with two US stopovers that included meetings with McCarthy and other politicians.
"We let the international community see that Taiwan is more united when facing pressure and threats," she told news hounds, describing her trip as a success, adding: "We will never yield to suppression."
Hours before her meeting with McCarthy on Wednesday, China sent its Shandong aircraft carrier through Taiwan's southeastern waters on its way to the western Pacific.
Beijing said earlier Friday that "Taiwan is an inseparable part of China", after repeatedly warning against the Tsai-McCarthy meeting.
"China's illusory sovereignty and territorial integrity will never be divided," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said at a regular press briefing.
"The future of Taiwan lies in reunification with the motherland."

What's to say the Drill story is media cover?
Because the only differences between a Drill and Invasion is about the 48 to 72 hrs it takes to perform the landing and Military Occupation. Otherwise, isn't everything is already loaded for bear (troops, logistic supplies, food, fuel, Amphibious craft, ammo, air support, (Drones) and etc..)

[Zero] Walmart announced plans to build out a nationwide electric vehicle fast-charging network. This initiative will support the Biden administration's 'clean energy' efforts to expand EV charging coverage.
"By 2030, we intend to build our own EV fast-charging network at thousands of Walmart and Sam's Club locations coast-to-coast. This would be in addition to the almost 1,300 EV fast-charging stations we already have available at more than 280 U.S. facilities," a Walmart press release said.
Although Walmart did not specify the exact number of charging stations it plans to construct, the retailer has roughly 4,700 US stores and 600 Sam's Club locations.
Vishal Kapadia, Walmart's senior vice president of energy transformation, noted all store or club locations are within ten miles of approximately 90% of Americans. The idea is to "meet the needs of customers and members where they live and open the road to those driving across the country," he said.

Some thoughts:
My Walmart is five minutes away. Why would I need a recharge?
Tesla drivers don’t shop at the Walmart.
My average Walmart shopping experience is 30 minutes. How long will I need to dredge the discounted DVD septic pile, for a full battery recharge on the EV that I never intend to own?

Many Walmarts are located near interstate exits. My local one for example. And you can bet Walmart will offer a deal on charging if you buy a Walmart Plus membership. They already have huge parking lots and most are located in commercial developments that are already served by more electrical infrastructure than the average residential neighborhood.
This is something Amazon has no way to compete with, short of making a big real estate and infrastructure investment.

Christians need eggs for colouring, Jews need eggs for roasting, everyone needs ‘em for baking all sorts of delicious things to eat...
[Dallas Morning News via the Wisconsin State Journal] Egg prices are expected to continue to drop after the annual Easter spike and as more and more chicks grow up into adult laying hens.
Dallas-Fort Worth area shoppers could find a dozen eggs priced between $2.50 to $2.99 at most area grocers this past week. That’s still about 40% higher than before the avian flu, but a bigger improvement from the peak price in January of almost $5.
The hen supply is recovering from the deadly avian flu that forced U.S. farmers to kill more than 40 million egg-laying hens last year. Wild birds, which were the source of the avian flu, are migrating north again. "By midsummer, we’ll know if the virus has run its course," Anderson said.
It takes six months for chicks to become fully grown and begin producing eggs. The supply of hens laying eggs to be hatched and hens producing eggs to be eaten are both up from a year ago, Anderson said. "But we’re still behind."
Eggs were an average of $1.79 a dozen in December 2021, a couple of months before the avian flu caused 43 million laying hens to be euthanized. Eggs were big contributors to inflation last year as Dallas-Fort Worth grocery prices increased more than 14%, one of the highest for metro areas tracked by government economists.
Prices for cage-free, vegetarian-fed, organic and omega-3 eggs, which are produced by hens fed a diet containing flaxseed, are about twice as expensive as USDA Grade A eggs.

Thehipchick, “ In general, your flock won’t lay any eggs until it is at least 6 months of age.
Between 6 and 9 months, you are going to have fairy eggs.
Between 9 months and 3 years is where you will get the most medium to large-sized eggs with most laying chicken giving off consistently sized eggs.”

I used to write little quality presentations for weekly construction meetings, one of them was on the Thresher, (below). Sorry about the verbosity.
The Soviets were hard pressed to keep up with the Americans, so schedule pressures drove their ballistic missile submarine program. Roger Mudd said, in the History Channel program, that there are 17 nuclear submarines at the bottom of the ocean. Thirteen are Soviet. That’s 76%.
At least two submarine losses were American – the Thresher, in 1963 and the Scorpion, five years later. I’m old enough to remember both. The Thresher was the first of the Navy’s new attack subs – the fastest and quietest yet produced. Like the K-19, it had a problem with consistent and uniform welds. Submarine pressure hulls are 3-1/2” inches thick, and the welding of such thick metal requires precise procedures and precision work. The Thresher experienced some problems with welds on her shakedown cruise, so she returned to port for some weld repairs.
Not enough repairs, apparently. On the next dive of the Thresher, the Captain reported “a minor difficulty” from a maximum-depth dive. The Captain said he was about to “emergency blow”, which would rocket the sub to the surface and carry her halfway out of the water in white foam. But then the Thresher was silent, and moments later, sonar crews heard the hull of the Thresher crush. All 129 sailors and military and civilian technicians aboard were lost.
The subsequent investigation suggests the sub had another weld defect show up at the maximum depth, but the Captain was confident he could surface with the emergency blow procedure. Later tests discovered, however, that at that pressure, a filter in the emergency blow piping instantly froze over, rendering the procedure useless. The sub’s “Plan B” failed, and she lost depth control, and was crushed.
While the U.S. Navy had better quality control in the nuclear submarine program than the Soviets, one unforeseen condition that could have been discovered in a thorough testing program was a significant factor in the loss of the Thresher. Her loss at sea is often considered a watershed event in the implementation of the Navy’s rigorous submarine safety program called SUBSAFE.
That’s why many people do not like being on the ‘cutting edge’ of technology, and why State Agencies are so reluctant to change. Cutting edge technology is fraught with hidden disasters unless you have conducted a thorough test program to evaluate all “practical” potential operational conditions where a failure – or string of failures - might lead to catastrophe. So the “moral of the story” is to have some respect for the conventional means and methods, and approved plans and specifications of the contract. Approach the “cutting edge” with caution and respect.

The reason the Thresher sunk was because we were still using using WW2 construction and safety proceedures. At test depth we were going slow because WW2 subs were battery driven and went slow at deep depths. WW2 subs also had strainers on there ballast tank blow vents. The Thresher broke a valve during test depth test and headed up at ver slow speed. The strainers froze and stopped air flow into the ballast tanks when sub made it to about 300 feet. The sub stopped accenting because strainers froze, at about test depth blow started again and they made it to 600ft and then sunk. All subs were taken into dry dock to install “sub safe”, ie remove the strainers. And test procedures at test depth were changed.

[Epoch Times] The zero-calorie sweetener erythritol marked off all the boxes for the perfect sugar substitute until a recent study published in Nature Medicine claimed that the popular sweetener causes increased blood clotting and significantly elevates the risk of heart attack, stroke, and even death.
Media outlets pounced on the study results, broadcasting them loudly across the internet, stating the dangers of dietary erythritol. But key aspects of this study warrant further examination before clearing erythritol out of the kitchen cabinets. Studies usually outline their paramters, limitations, and need for further studies. But reading that takes all of the fun out of 'media reporting'.
Erythritol occurs naturally in fruits like grapes, pears, and watermelon, as well as fermented foods like beer, wine, and soy sauce. In addition to occurring naturally in foods, commercially produced erythritol has provided sweetness to foods and beverages since 1990.
The popularity of erythritol in the United States and worldwide is due to several benefits: it’s more easily digestible than other natural sweeteners; it’s often recommended for diabetics because it doesn’t raise blood sugar levels; and it reduces dental plaque and tooth decay.
Erythritol is also very popular among the keto diet community because it can satisfy sugar cravings without impacting blood sugar and kicking someone out of ketosis. A thourough discussion of the several studies, and their limitations, follows at the link. Skipping down to the conclusions:
Johnson-Arbor and Hunnes agreed that it’s difficult to draw conclusions from this study because it doesn’t relate to real-world use, and isn’t clear whether it can be applied to the general U.S. population.
Johnson-Arbor adds, "Several factors, including dietary habits, may have played a role but were not explicitly examined, and the exact relationship between erythritol and heart/vascular disease requires more investigation."
"I definitely think more research is needed," said Hunnes. "But I also think the media tends to oversell certain outcomes to studies because of the shock factor." And most Journolists and Media "personalities" are idots
