GOP Conflict In Va-5th

-
What’s going on in the Va-5th Republican Congressional Primary?
-
Apparently some folks are Not Happy with Bob Good!
Apparently that includes Donald Trump!

How did Virgil let this happen?
Trump blowback hits House Freedom Caucus chair Bob Good (axios.com)
“House Freedom Caucus Chair Bob Good (R-Va.) is now paying the price for his decision to endorse Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis instead of former President Trump in the presidential primaries.
Why it matters: The Trump team's decision to get involved changes the dynamics of the race, and a quirky primary format that helped Good in 2020 isn't available in 2024.”

Gunshot Wounds Good News?

-
Two men shot in Roanoke's 7th nonfatal shooting of 2024

Two men were shot Wednesday evening in Roanoke’s 7th nonfatal gunfire incident since Jan. 1.

At about 7 p.m., city police were summoned by a shots fired call to the 3800 block of Stratford Park Drive Southwest, according to a news release from the department.

Roanoke took a victory lap over reduced violence
-
Roanoke officials were celebrating a drop in serious crime brought-on by ‘jaw-boning’!
If we talk about crime enough and hold enough status meetings it will fix itself!
-
Now this headline takes the blue ribbon!
THE GOOD NEWS --- THE 7 SHOOTINGS WERE NONFATAL!
Really? Apparently the Roanoke antiCrime initiative is working – the bad guys are either bad-shots or are aiming to wound and cripple – not to kill!

-
With progress like this we’ll all feel safe to wander downtown for dinner next week.

Back to the Grapes of Wrath Dust Bowl?

Dave Duttlinger's first thought when he saw a dense band of yellowish-brown dust smearing the sky above his Indiana farm was: I warned them this would happen.
As solar capacity grows, some of America's most productive farmland is at risk | Reuters
About 445 acres of his fields near Wheatfield, Indiana, are covered in solar panels and related machinery – land that in April 2019 Duttlinger leased to Dunns Bridge Solar LLC, for one of the largest solar developments in the Midwest.
On that blustery spring afternoon in 2022, Duttlinger said, his phone rang with questions from frustrated neighbors: Why is dust from your farm inside my truck? Inside my house? Who should I call to clean it up?

Energy policy should be based on facts, not hopes and dreams. Our study shows that the best way to pursue a cleaner future – one that’s economically affordable, reliable and clean – is to double down on natural gas and nuclear.
The worst path is more solar and wind, yet that’s the road that policymakers have chosen. By choosing energy sources that get failing grades, policymakers are setting America itself up for failure.

Damn Those Christian Schools

-
It has been common practice for the LeftWingers to marginalize and attack Christian Schools!
Primary motivations appear to be ‘eliminating the competition’:
* Funding: those paying ten-thousand-plus a year for nonpublic schooling are Not motivated to support public schools.

* Compatibility: children attending nonpuhlic schools appear to be pro-school and better behaved and compatible with the school environment.

* Academic: children attending nonpublic schools appear more focused on learning and academic achievement with more parental support.
-
The private schools that stayed in-session during covid set a major example of comparison between private and public education.
-
It now appears that the Biden administration has targeted Religious Private Colleges for harassment.

In testimony before Congress, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona vowed to "shut down" Grand Canyon University (GCU), one of the nation’s largest and most successful private colleges – and the motive appears purely political.
-
GCU is known for helping the low-income community of Phoenix. It has a successful record of graduating students into good jobs, including in the trades. It celebrates diversity of viewpoints and ideas. And most impressively, GCU has not raised tuition for their students in over 15 years.
-
What a stark contrast to Biden’s current ‘Pontius Pilot hand-washing’ of the AntiSemetic riots in process at many US colleges that is diminishing the education many paid tens of thousands of dollars to secure.

Republican Jewish Coalition backs primary challenge to Virginia Rep. Bob Good | The Hill
A major Republican Jewish group became the latest notable organization to back a primary challenge to Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.).
The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) announced Monday that it was backing state Sen. John McGuire (R) in the GOP congressional primary for Virginia’s 5th Congressional District, citing Good’s vote Saturday against a foreign aid package that included money for Ukraine, Israel and humanitarian aid for Gaza.
“This vote showed who Israel’s true friends are, and exposed those like Congressman Bob Good who are not,” he (Republican Jewish Coalition CEO Matt Brooks) added.

Barbarians At Our Gates
Antisemitism on campus surges as agitators take over
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2024/04/barbarians-at-our-gates.html
Can this rioting metastasize back into 1968 or even back to 1932?
-
Some Reflections:
-
The spring and summer of 1968 was a tumultuous time of civil unrest across the United States.
The Revolution That Was 1968 | HISTORY
-
Highlighted by the riots at Democrat Chicago Convention of 1968.
1968 Democratic National Convention protests - Wikipedia
-
Followed by Kent State National Guard shooing in 1970
Kent State shootings - Wikipedia
-
To reflect on civil ‘camp-ins’ and civil disobedience one can flash back to The 1932 WW-I Bonus Army camped out on the National Mall around the reflecting pool.
They were violently removal by US troops led by MacArthur, Eisenhower and Patton (later, all major leaders and general officers in WW2).

These incidents in contrast to the empowering treatment that illegal squatters and intruders receive today for their abuse of people and personal and public property!
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2023/01/illegal-encampments-reflect-back-to.html
-
In perspective, the rioters are a small percentage of the university membership and many of the rioters may not even be enrolled students at the targeted schools!
-
The antiSemetic actions and Rhetoric are not only hate-speech but are criminal and should result in arrest and jail.

     (may have to copy-paste link into browser to view fox article)
The bombshell essay penned by veteran NPR editor Uri Berliner this week is reportedly causing "turmoil" at his news organization.
Berliner made waves on Tuesday for calling out the liberal groupthink that has plagued NPR's newsroom, pointing to their mishandling of Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, the COVID lab leak theory and the ongoing Israel-Hamas war as examples of its left-wing bias while prioritizing racial diversity over ideological diversity.

      (may have to copy-paste link into browser to view fox article)
Longtime NPR editor Uri Berliner, who was suspended after blowing the whistle on liberal bias at the organization, announced Wednesday he has resigned.
I cannot work in a newsroom where I am disparaged by a new CEO whose divisive views confirm the very problems at NPR I cited in my Free Press essay," Berliner wrote in a statement published on X.
Berliner was referring to Katherine Maher, who took over last month as President and CEO and has gone viral for past social media posts showing far-left personal views.
Berliner penned a piece in the Free Press that criticized NPR’s coverage of Russiagate, the COVID lab leak theory, Hunter Biden’s scandalous laptop, embrace of the theory of systemic racism and accused the organization of downplaying antisemitism following Oct. 7.

College Athletics Now ‘Pay To Play’

-
Virginia law allows state's colleges, universities to directly pay athletes through NIL deals - Washington Times
“If this law gets us closer to a federal or a national solution for college athletics then it will be more than worthwhile,” University of Virginia athletic director Carla Williams told ESPN. “Until then, we have an obligation to ensure we maintain an elite athletics program at UVA.”
-
Is that really the universities 'obligation' to their students?

Apparently ‘scholarships and stipends’ aren’t enough for our athletes.
We have now crossed the Rubicon into real Pay2Play.

‘The Idea … Is Crazy’: National Guard Official Says Mark Milley’s Jan 6. Warnings Led To Deployment Delay | The Daily Caller
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley’s fretting former president Donald Trump would commandeer the military for political reasons, warning of a “Reichstag moment,” influenced senior Army leaders to delay deploying the National Guard to quell the Jan. 6 riots, a witness told Congress during a hearing Wednesday.
-
Four current and former leaders of the Washington, D.C. National Guard testified to a panel from the House Committee on Administration, alleging two senior Army generals lied about their failure to give an order rushing National Guard troops to secure the capitol grounds as rioting escalated. Retired Col. Earl Matthews, then chief legal adviser to the D.C. National Guard, accused Milley of “impeding the ability of the president” with disparaging comments heralding a potential coup attempt that influenced key Army leaders against ordering troops close to the capitol.
-
“The conditions were set by this talk of a ‘Reichstag moment,'” Matthews said. “The idea that, let me be frank about it, that a bunch of black kids in the D.C. Guard are going to usurp the election for Trump is crazy, but that’s what they were talking about.”

Energy prices soar almost 30 percent under Biden — 13 times faster than previous 7 years: analysis
(Why isn’t this mentioned on ABC CBS NBC CNN MSNBC?)
(Why isn’t this mentioned in Biden stump speeches?)

Electricity costs soar under Biden administration (nypost.com)
Energy prices, particularly the cost of electricity, have skyrocketed since President Biden took office, outpacing inflation and putting a dent in Americans’ wallets.
Since January 2021, electricity prices have soared 29.4% — 50% more than overall inflation — rising 13 times faster than the previous seven years, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
Meanwhile, in those seven years before Biden took office, electricity prices rose just 5%.
News of the astronomical increase in electricity came in the wake of March’s Consumer Price Index, which showed US inflation rose 3.5% in March.
-
-
In addition to being expensive, too bad renewables are intermittent and unreliable.
Probably means we should maintain lots of current energy supply for backup when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine -- you think?

Hamas Rejects Biden’s Hostage Deal—Again - WSJ
President Biden’s strategy of pressuring Israel and pleading with Hamas for a cease-fire and hostage deal has met one more dead end. Hamas rejected another offer over the weekend, countering with new demands designed to throw negotiations into disarray.
-
As State Department spokesman Matthew Miller explained, “Israel moved a significant way in submitting that proposal,” but Hamas rejected it. “It is Hamas right now that is the barrier and the obstacle to a cease-fire in Gaza.” The Times of Israel reports that Hamas rejected every clause of the proposal brokered by the U.S., Egypt and Qatar.

How Israel and allied defenses intercepted more than 300 Iranian missiles and drones | CNN
-
Israel’s military said Sunday that “99%” of projectiles fired by Iran were intercepted by Israel and its partners, with only “a small number” of ballistic missiles reaching Israel.
In total, around 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles and more than 120 ballistic missiles were launched at Israel by Iran overnight Saturday, the military said.
US officials said more than 70 drones and three ballistic missiles were intercepted by US Navy ships and military aircraft, without giving details of exactly what defenses were used to bring down the projectiles.
The US Navy shot down at least three ballistic missiles using the Aegis missile defense system aboard two guided-missiles destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean, officials told CNN’s Oren Liebermann at the Pentagon.

Unfortunately, no sooner was the engagement over when
Biden reverted back to his pathetic directives to Israel:

BIDEN Iran’s Man In DC

-
Israel hails ‘success’ in blocking Iran’s unprecedented attack.
Blocking Iran's unprecedented attack, Israel hails 'success'. Biden now seeks diplomatic response - Washington Times
Israel on Sunday hailed its air defenses in the face of an unprecedented attack by Iran, saying the systems thwarted 99% of the more than 300 drones and missiles launched toward its territory. Regional tensions were high amid fears of an Israeli counter-strike that could fuel further escalation.
-
-
The most successful antimissile defense event in history!
Saturday night, 2-hours engaged in deadly war of wack-a-mole with 300 Iranian airborne weapons headed for Israel and its people.
Biden told Iran ‘don’t do it’!
Then Biden told Israel ‘do not retaliate’!
Biden is reminiscent of the permissive parent in the grocery store admonishing his kids to play nice while they tear-up the store and terrorize other shoppers!
-
Let’s not forget it was Obama-Biden who had embellished, enriched, and emboldened Iran from their diminished Trump-reduced state.
-

-
A Brief summary of Obama-Biden actions that have elevated and empowered Iran to be The premier actor in the antiIsraeli jihad group and emboldened them to take this action.
-
-
A touch of good news:
* Lebanon was immensely helpful in protecting Israel from what could have been overwhelming air defense attacks.
* Other neighboring Arab countries refrained from launching major simultaneous attacks. Perhaps they are more adverse to Hamas than to Israel.
-
A touch of bad news:
The antiIsraeli gang now know much more about the Israeli antimissile defense systems than before.

What Hostages?

-
Hamas Took More Than 200 Hostages From Israel. Here’s What We Know. - WSJ
Israel says 129 hostages abducted on Oct. 7 remain in captivity, including the bodies of at least 34
WSJ: The Palestinian militants who raided Israel in the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7 killed over 1,200 people, according to Israel, and abducted over 240 civilians and soldiers, bringing them back to the Gaza Strip.
-
-
-
It appears that the Hamas held hostages have suffered a sad fate since Oct 7th.
It now appears that the so called ‘cease fire talks’ have failed again because the Hamas refuse to disclose what hostages are still alive (if any).
-
At this point Israel must be close to assuming the hostages are lost and its time to launch an all out assault on the tunnels with explosives and flooding and tear-gas.
-
Iran, the major Hamas supporter, has concluded they need to intercede with a direct attack on Israel to ‘save face’ and try to save the core of Hamas leadership to continue the Jihad.

Biden ‘must threaten Iran with devastating US response’
Israel-Hamas war latest: Biden 'must threaten Iran with devastating US response' (telegraph.co.uk)
Joe Biden must warn Iran that the US will join a “devastating” response if Israel is attacked, Republicans have said.
-
The US president is under pressure to provide a public security guarantee to Tel Aviv, the day after he said America’s commitment to the country was “iron-clad”.
Ayatollah Khamenei, the Iranian Supreme Leader, has threatened to attack Israel directly in response to a suspected Israeli strike on an embassy building in Damascus earlier this month. US officials believe the strike is “imminent”, and Israel has pledged to respond in kind.
-
Tom Cotton, a Republican senator from Arkansas, said: “Israel is under threat of imminent attack by Iran. President Biden needs to warn the ayatollahs immediately that the United States will back Israel to the hilt and the joint American-Israeli retaliation for any attack will be swift and devastating.”

The Church Still Has Values --- Really?

-
After observing The Pope’s proclamations on numerous subjects, over time, it appeared he was unencumbered by church doctrine or law or rules.
New News!
Clear message to the faithful and others: The Church still has values!
Vatican blasts gender-affirming surgery in new 20-page doctrine | AP News
-
Pope Francis' Monday declaration, called "Dignitas Infinita," addressed over a dozen individual issues of the modern day through the lens of scripture and church teaching, including abortion, human trafficking, poverty, euthanasia, the death penalty and more.
Latin for "Infinite Dignity," the document was released after more than five years in development by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) and focuses on threats to human dignity in the modern world.
-
(5-years!  Really?  What took so long?)
-
"Regarding gender theory, whose scientific coherence is the subject of considerable debate among experts, the Church recalls that human life in all its dimensions, both physical and spiritual, is a gift from God," the document states. "This gift is to be accepted with gratitude and placed at the service of the good. Desiring a personal self-determination, as gender theory prescribes, apart from this fundamental truth that human life is a gift, amounts to a concession to the age-old temptation to make oneself God, entering into competition with the true God of love revealed to us in the Gospel."
-
The document also reaffirms the Church's teachings on abortion and elaborates on its long-standing ethical criticisms of surrogate pregnancies, for which the pope recently called for a worldwide ban.

It was Al-Quds Day last Friday. To celebrate the occasion, protesters in Dearborn, Michigan, chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” while a speaker named Tarek Bazzi declared the United States — a place that’s afforded him the liberty to openly support rapists, murderers, and terrorists — one of the “rottenest countries” on the planet. “It’s the entire system that has to go,” he explained to cheers of, what I assume, were American citizens.

-

-
Did Colonial America capitulate after Bunker Hill 1776?
-
Did Texas capitulate after The Alamo?
-
Did America capitulate after Pearl Harbor Dec 1941?
-
Did America capitulate after Hitler took most of Europe?
-
To avoid massive US casualties associated with an invasion of Japan
The US dropped A-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
No one made any request for US withdrawal and capitulation those days.

Did America capitulate after WTC 9-11-2001?

Who are these people making demands upon Israel to capitulate to Hamas?
Allowing the Hamas elements of Oct 7th to escape will empower them to continue on with their jihad and will ensure more ongoing attacks upon the Jewish people!

Roanoke’s Absurd Endangered Species Act

-
Absurd: wildly unreasonable, illogical, or inappropriate.
-
Roanoke log perch no longer an endangered species,
The Roanoke log perch, an endangered species that lives in the path of major projects such as the Mountain Valley Pipeline and a Roanoke flood control plan, is no longer at risk of extinction.
Roanke logperch no longer in danger of extinction (roanoke.com)
-
Roanoke SnailDarter was also removed from the Endangered Species Act in 2021.
Snail darter, tiny and notorious, is no longer endangered | WFXRtv
-
No longer endangered! They served their ‘obstructionist’ purpose of making major disruptions to dams and flood-control projects and now that they’re no longer an issue, the little fish are doing just fine on their own! Amazing!
-
The Corps of Engineers set out to perform flood control on the Roanoke River adjacent to Roanoke. Upon starting the project the EPA demanded that the river bottom Not be dredged deeper to accommodate flood waters because of two cute little endangered fish.
The result was $72-Million dollars of river bank beautification and ongoing tens of millions of additional dollars of buying flooded homes and businesses and relocation of residents.
-
But NOW the cute little endangered fish aren’t endangered anymore and all this cost and ongoing never ending flooding disruption was all in vain! Who knew?
-
Would be appropriate for the Roanoke Times staff to hold a party for all those associated with this disruptive fiasco so that the residents of Roanoke can thank them personally for their good works.
-
Really? – Flood Reduction — that’s what ‘they’ like to say now!
The reality is that this major $72-Million dollar Corps of Engineers ‘flood control’ project became a ‘river bank beautification’ project because the river bottom was ‘off-limits’ due to the Log-Perch and the Snail-Darters alleged to reside there.
-
Therefore the river was Not Dredged down to improve the volume, velocity and thru-put of the flood waters and therefore it continues to back-up into the same low-lying areas it has always done since it was known as Big Lick. So much for $72+++Million of taxpayer money and no relief for the Roanoke people!
