On one hand, yes, she hits (slaps?) him, but his reaction is clearly just out of anger and not measured in any way. He's just pissed.  I suspect he gets charged with something and is fired.  Probably the right decision if it works out that way

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/evacuation-order-telling-residents-to-leave-los-angeles-is-broadcast-on-tv-in-error/ar-AA11kYz3?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=b5ed5308f0a84fbcefd28fa00f54fd72

For real, on TV and on tweets in English and Spanish, Cali Ventura County Sheriff Office issued an Immediate Evacuation Order for LA and surrounding communities. Apparently they now know what many of us have known for years. 



An evacuation notice that popped up on television Wednesday telling residents to “immediately” evacuate Los Angeles was broadcast in error, a sheriff’s office said. 
Viewers in Ventura County were watching TV when programming was interrupted to show the message: “Emergency alert system. A civil authority has issued an IMMEDIATE EVACUATION NOTICE for the following counties or areas.” The list included Los Angeles, Eastern North Pacific Ocean, and Port Conception to Guadalupe. It is not yet known how many viewers received the alert.

Two tweets — one in English and one in Spanish — were later posted by the Ventura Country Sheriff’s Department stating the message was sent in error.
The false alarm came as a series of wildfires erupted in California Wednesday, prompting a number of localized evacuations in northwestern Los Angeles county. It triggered concern on Twitter, with one user posting: "That was scary! I called the Sheriff’s Office to see what was going on. LA better get it together."

In order to keep peaceful, primarily Islamic, undocumented immigrants coming into their country from Belarus, those nazi loving white supremacists built a wall. And then posted angry white men militia (oh, they say it's their "army") with assault weapons along their border. They are destroying democracy! And oh yeah, walls never work. 

Am I doing this right?

It's a 550 km (342 miles for you backwards hayseeds) fence composed of chain link and topped with concertina wire.

Duke volleyball player's racial slur allegation receives pushback from witnesses: report


Witnesses have reportedly come forward saying no racial slurs were heard during the BYU-Duke women’s volleyball match last Friday, in which Duke’s Rachel Richardson, the only Black starter for the Blue Devils, said she was heckled throughout "the entirety of the match."
Richardson said in a statement that BYU officials were not quick enough to address the situation upon the initial grievance from the Duke bench. BYU noted that the fan, who the Salt Lake Tribune said was a Utah Valley University student sitting in the student section, was banned from all athletic venues on campus. 

The BYU Cougar Chronicle — a conservative-leaning student newspaper at the university — said "a source inside the BYU athletic department" said: "Ms. Richardson complained of hearing a racial slur during the second set but didn’t not point anyone out. Officials discussed briefly and stationed policemen there…there were no more complaints until after the match."


The Chronicle spoke to several students seated in the student section during the game that claimed they "heard absolutely nothing," and that the banned fan did not yell a racial slur before being escorted out of the game. 

A BYU spokesperson told Fox News Digital what they can confirm about the incident at Smith Fieldhouse last Friday:

- Right before the start of the third game, Duke first brought up that a racial slur had been heard.

- No individual was identified.

- Four event staff members were dispatched to speak with the student section and one uniformed officer.
- There were no complaints made by Duke for the remainder of the match.




The fan was escorted out of Smith Fieldhouse due to "interfering with guests," not for shouting racial slurs, said the BYU Athletics official. 

BYU officials said that several athletic employees have been going through footage of the game and have yet to find any evidence of racial slurs being shouted. 


"Various BYU Athletics employees have been reviewing video from BYUtv and other cameras in the facility that the volleyball team has access to for film review," BYU officials said in a statement. "This has been ongoing since right after the match on Friday night. The person who was banned was the person identified by Duke as using racial slurs. However, we have been unable to find any evidence of that person using slurs in the match."

An investigation is still ongoing as BYU police Lt. George Besendorfer confirmed the initial footage didn’t show the person banned shouting anything while Richardson was serving. 
There is also the police report from BYU police Det. Sgt. Richard Laursen, who stood next to the banned fan throughout the fourth set, saying the man may have "(A)sparger syndrome or could have autism," per the Deseret News.

Sam Harris says Donald Trump is 'worse' than Usama bin Laden: 9/11 terrorist ‘demonstrated many virtues’

Harris previously came under fire for defending censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop as 'a left-wing conspiracy to deny the presidency to Donald Trump'

Podcaster Sam Harris doubled down on his attacks against former President Donald Trump, suggesting that he is "a worse person than Usama bin Laden."
[Image: hunter-Biden-laptop-2021-v2.jpg?ve=1&tl=1]
Sam Harris came under fire for saying he would not if Hunter Biden "literally had the corpses of children in his basement" so long as Trump was not re-elected
The prominent atheist argued on his "Making Sense" podcast last Thursday that the claim is a frequent statement he’s made to grab attention and continued to defend it.

"I’ve said on several occasions that I think Donald Trump is a worse person than Usama bin Laden. The statement is obviously meant to get your attention. I get that it’s surprising, but it’s not meant to be hyperbolic. I can defend every word of a statement like that. What I can’t defend are people's misunderstandings and erroneous extrapolations of a statement like that," Harris argued.

He went on to argue that bin Laden, despite the harm he caused, was "a more or less normal human being psychologically."




"But within the framework of his [bin Laden's] odious beliefs, he demonstrated many virtues. He was a man who certainly seemed to be capable of real self-sacrifice and he was committed to ideals beyond his narrow self-interest. He was by all accounts personally quite courageous. I don’t claim to know that much about him, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he was generally a person of real integrity and generosity and compassion in his dealings with his fellow Muslims. None of these things can be said about Donald Trump. Trump is without question one of the least honest and malignantly selfish human beings I have ever come across," Harris argued.

This response followed a controversy Harris faced on Aug. 17 after defending social media censorship of the New York Post’s coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop story. While Harris acknowledged it was a true conspiracy to limit the story to help President Biden in the 2020 election, he claimed that the effort was justified.

"At that point, Hunter Biden could have literally had the corpses of children in his basement, I would not have cared," Harris said, claiming the laptop story was "infinitesimal compared" to Trump’s corruption.





Over one week later, Harris continued to claim that Trump "isn’t psychologically normal" and is a morally despicable human being.

"The seeming paradox is that if Trump were a better person he would be worse in many ways. If he were brave and self-sacrificing and idealistic, if he were capable of being strongly committed to something beyond his self-interest, he would be capable of creating much greater harm in the world. But he’s not. He is a child in a man’s body. He lies as freely as he breathes and just as compulsively. He can’t even put the interests of his children above his own, much less commit himself to any ideal that requires real self-sacrifice," Harris said.

He concluded, "When I say that wherever you are on earth, you could probably walk 1000 miles in any direction and not meet a less admirable being than Trump, I mean it in the terms I just described. The man is almost completely lacking in personal virtue. If he weren’t funny, and I admit he can be funny, he might actually be the least admirable person on earth."




While Harris noted that people can take his statement as "hyperbolic," various Democrats and media pundits have made similar comparisons for Trump and his supporters.

Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell compared Trump to the former al-Qaeda leader in 2021, claiming that both were responsible for "radicalizing" violent individuals after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Frequent CNN columnist Dean Obeidallah admitted on Twitter in August that he "literally" viewed Trump supporters and bin Laden supporters as the same.

  Giant hailstone: Toddler killed in violent Spanish storm
Posted by: Guest - 08-31-2022, 01:07 PM - Forum: ZigbeeNutHouse List of topics for discussion - No Replies

A 20-month-old child has died in Spain after being struck on the head by a hailstone.

About 50 other people reported injuries - ranging from bruises to bone fractures - from the freak 10-minute-long storm that hit the Girona region of Catalonia on Tuesday evening.

It destroyed roofs, downed power cables and shattered windows.

One of the hailstones measured 10cm (4 inches) in diameter, Catalonia's meteorological service said.
It the largest to rain down on the region since 2002.

Firefighters received more than 40 calls from members of the public about damage caused by Tuesday's storm, mostly from the town of Bisbal d'Emporda.

One of the stones hit the 20-month-old child who was transferred to a hospital in the nearby city of Girona but later died from her injuries, local channel 324 reported.

"The hail only fell for 10 minutes, but it was 10 minutes of terror," councillor Carme Vall told local radio, according to AFP news agency.

Catalonia's president Pere Aragones described the accident as a "tragedy".

Local officials have now reissued violent weather alerts, warning residents that more large hailstones could rain down on the coastal area.

According to advice from Catalonia's meteorological service, hailstorms can occur throughout the year but are most frequently recorded between March and September.

An unusually hot summer has meant the nearby Mediterranean sea is warmer than usual for this time of year, making violent tropical storms more likely.

For nearly two years now, we've been told that people who question our election integrity are a "threat to our democracy" and anyone who says otherwise is just leading the American people "down this path of lies." It was strange then, that President Joe Biden told a group of rallygoers in Maryland on Thursday that Democrats have plans to "make sure no one, no one, ever has the opportunity to steal an election again."

  I'm frequently reminded of something I heard Rush say many years ago
Posted by: Guest - 08-31-2022, 09:24 AM - Forum: ZigbeeNutHouse List of topics for discussion - Replies (47)

back when I was a hardcore Conservative and thought Climate Change (or Global Warming as it was called then) was hoax.  

I remember Rush saying that, in general, the US gets about the same amount of rain every year; it just sometimes falls in one area and not another.  That seems to be what's happening not only in the US but worldwide, now.  On one hand, there are crippling droughts in parts of the country/world and, in other parts, they're getting crushed by historic amounts of rain - Kentucky and Pakistan for example.
