[Bumblebrain’s foreign policy bungling and catastrophes have boosted the fortunes of America’s enemies who have now organized themselves into the Shanghai Cooperation Organization of Asian nations, anchored by China and Russia with India and Pakistan already ensconced, Iran ready to step aboard, and Erdogan working to bring Turkey into the fold. The SCO promises to become China’s answer to NATO and support its Belt and Road advances into the Middle East and Africa. While the US continues tangled up in its political nightmare, Team Biden knows as much about this as it does about our "secure" southern border. (more here) gjr]

Minneapolis Police Pay $100 for Piece of Wood, Pipe During Gun Buyback
“”If we can get guns that people no longer want to have around their house off the streets to where they cannot be stolen from houses and used in crimes that’s a good thing,” Minneapolis Police Officer Corey Schmidt told WCCO.”
Actually I’d hope that if anyone came to my house with the intention of mischief, I’d want them to have a black iron pipe taped to a piece of wood from a pallet.

Of course we are friends! Sometimes we just turn a blind eye, warts and all.
Actually, the pics of Lena aren’t bad, ain’t bad at all. There is something about Lena in her search for meaning….which in her case, the deep craving to BE loved. It’s personal against Lena. Politics and stuff, going back to her days at Oberlin College leading the campus upheaval and grievance office sits in and protests and demonstrations all over the campus cafeteria vendor preparing sushi by a non-Japanese chef. Couldn’t find one in town, so they made peace with a Hawaiian sushi maker. At least the Black students got a separate library section and a separate study hall and fried chicken (not baked!) on Friday night! And the Chinese students got General Poo with fried rices not steamed!
When Trump won the presidency in 2016, she had a meltdown and took off into the wilderness (Arizona) to piece back together what was left of her scrambled brains and quiet the aftershocks. Blew her mind. PTSD big time.
That PTSD gets into your body and settles there as well as in the mental triggering of emotions and bad juju. Gets in your body. So, I cut some her slack. Just kidding,
She looks like millions of Americans do, but she just had a head start on the rest. Peace and love bug. She just as an big want to feel “being loved”. She has the loving others part down pat. Another Jewish American Princess? They are all princesses from whatever tribe, ethnicity, clan, culture they hail from. They are all princesses….the apple of Daddy’s eye.
With Lena, it’s personal. With that Flute Playing Twerker, it’s body shame. Miza of something. Now that is one woman who would provide shade in the summer, warmth in the winter, and moving pictures year round. Has a sparky personality. She a princess too.
Got food insecurity yet?

“NextEra Energy Resources and Portland General Electric celebrate first-in-the-nation combined clean energy facilities. The first utility-scale facilities to co-locate wind, solar and battery storage makes the clean energy future a reality in Oregon – Sept. 28, 2022
Lexington, Ore. — Today, state and local leaders joined NextEra Energy Resources, LLC PGE, and Portland General Electric PGE (PGE) to celebrate the commissioning of the first utility-scale energy facilities in North America to co-locate wind, solar and battery storage, generating renewable power for customers.
Near Lexington in Morrow County, Oregon, Wheatridge Renewable Energy Facilities includes 300 megawatts of wind, 50 megawatts of solar and 30 megawatts of battery storage. Together, these technologies provide reliable power from renewable, carbon-free resources.”
So we should expect to see the entire central area of Oregon disconnected from fossil-fuels within a year. Maybe they will ship some electricity to you guys in N Cali – only if you ask nice though.
Now if they are using Li batteries for storage, they may have an out. Those things catch fire on occasion, and unexpectedly. If they still have one of the coal or gas-fired boilers, they may have the first battery-powered boiler for an electrical turbine-generator. And you thought these fellows were just idiots!

“It is worth noting that the Democrats’ attempt to “Katrinize” Gov. DeSantis over Hurricane Ian fizzled out practically before the storm cleared the state. This, despite credible reports of a significant death toll around the Ft. Myers area. One reason for this is simply the competence of Gov. DeSantis and other Florida officials, which contrasts with the obvious incompetence of the Democrats in charge of New Orleans in 2005. How was the left successful in shifting the blame to President George W. Bush over Katrina? Simple: They were able to place the race card. The left and the media can’t play this card (despite Kamala Harris’s best lame attempt to do so) because most of the deaths out in the coastal areas are likely to be white people.
This is also perhaps another example of a leftist playbook that only works once, like “Borking” GOP Supreme Court nominees, which failed in the cases of both Clarence Thomas and Brett Cavanaugh. Add “Katrinizing” to “Borking” as an obsolete leftist tactic. Though don’t expect to give either of them up any time soon.”

‘Florida Surgeon General Issues Warning For mRNA Coronavirus Vaccines: ‘FL Will Not Be Silent On The Truth’
This analysis found that there is an 84% increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination,” the statement said. “With a high level of global immunity to COVID-19, the benefit of vaccination is likely outweighed by this abnormally high risk of cardiac-related death among men in this age group. Non-mRNA vaccines were not found to have these increased risks.”
“As such, the State Surgeon General recommends against males aged 18 to 39 from receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccines,” the statement continued. “Those with preexisting cardiac conditions, such as myocarditis and pericarditis, should take particular caution when making this decision.”
Most importantly, the analysis found that non-mRNA vaccines, such as the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, “were not found to have these increased risks among any population.”
