American Homeland A Target Again?

-
Back to 1957 and the Russian Sputnik satellite that threatened the US with a vision of hitting anywhere in the US with nuclear bombs launched from satellites flying at-will over the US.
-
Back to Feb 2023 and Russian Military Balloons flying over the US with unknown payloads and capabilities.
-
Now the night skies are lit-up with car-size drones of unknown origin and capabilities flying uninterrupted at-will over NY, NJ and other areas.
-
The Biden Team says “Not to worry!” i
“Most sightings are commercial airplanes!”
Really? How dumb do they think the American public is?
-
Finally NY Democrat governor has declared “this is Not OK!” and shut-down Stewart Airport in Newburg NY.
Shouldn’t the FAA be the entity shutting down International Airports?
If birds can bring down an airliner, imagine what a car-size drone can do!

New York governor calls for federal assistance after mysterious drones shut down airport runways
Mysterious drones in New York temporarily shut down runways at an Orange County airport, a frustrated governor said, calling for federal assistance and declaring that "this has gone too far."
The New York Stewart International Airport was forced to close runways Friday night for about an hour "due to drone activity in the airspace," Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement.

WSLS10at5 Features Pubic Shaving Video For Family Dinner

-
The WSLS10at5 Roanoke News included, for family viewing at 5-PM, 12-12-24, an ad for pubic-area shaving that was far more graphic and totally inappropriate for any family viewing, no less at dinner time and, no less for children or ladies.
I would proffer that it also isn’t appropriate for many of the WSLS10 staff and comes very close to workplace inappropriate material.
-
Who reviews material for public family viewing at WSLS10?
Who approves what material goes out to families at dinner time?
How do they relate to the families and community of SouthWest Virginia?

HealthCare Blood Lust

-
The cold-blooded killing of a health-care executive, by a filthy-rich, smart, empowered young male, on the streets of NY, shot in the back and then executed on the ground, should be an outrage to not only NYers and American’s but to all decent people everywhere.
Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, fatally shot outside NYC hotel
-
The killer’s animalistic hunting and stalking and travel and living conditions and his animalistic execution of a healthcare executive, husband, father and human-being and the killer’s violent reaction to being taken into custody all belie any sympathy that might have been granted even to a ‘sad medical case IF there is such a thing’ in this case.

US Hurricane Reality Dec 2024

-
The US Hurricane 2024 Season has “officially” ended.
For those impacted by hurricanes, your lives have been changed, never to be fully restored. Hopefully friends, neighbors, relatives and the-government have lessened your burdens.
-
Although hurricanes have swept across the US for thousands of years, each season we now are instructed that all negative events are man-made and therefore by implication we deserve what we get.
-
The reality is that we are in another interglacial period and changes in weather and climate will continue as they have multiple times before.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2024/04/earth-day-4222024.html
-
Contrary to the Global Warming narrative the reality is that the hurricane and CO2 data for the past 200-years does NOT support the Gore, Kerry, Greta story-line that man-kind is causing evermore destructful hurricanes.
In fact, the data indicates that destructful hurricanes of all categories have decreased over the past 200-years.
-
Unfortunately businesses and citizens have chosen to build in high-risk areas where people and structures are at significant risk.
Something akin to building in a known flood-zone.

Historical Reality: Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1780 --
(one hundred years before any significant man-made CO2):
A massive hurricane tears through the Lesser Antilles, creating a swath of destruction from the Grenadines to Bermuda that leaves 23,200 souls dead and no fewer than 65 naval vessels from France, the Netherlands and Great Britain lost at sea or smashed to splinters on a lee shore, to say nothing of the devastation ashore, where thousands of homes and business were swept away by the storm's surge. The Great Hurricane of 1780 remains the single most destructive weather event in the history of the Atlantic Ocean.

Today’s Australia A Different Penal Colony

-
Australia has a strange perspective of youth online socializing and sexuality.
Parents can have sex change surgery on their children of any age.
However, the state is now restricting what youths under 16 can view on the internet, including ‘social-sites’ with draconian penalties for companies that ‘allow’ wayward youths to see ‘restricted content’.
Apparently parents have no responsibility or accountability – Really!

Australia Passes Landmark Social-Media Ban for Under-16s
Platforms ‘including’ Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat could face fines for allowing underage children access

Australia Passes Landmark Social-Media Ban for Under-16s - WSJ
Australia is set to become the first country to ban social-media use by under-16s after the country’s Senate overwhelmingly voted in favor of strict new legislation.
-
The ban, which will take at least 12 months to come into effect, could see technology companies fined up to 50 million Australian dollars, roughly $32.5 million, if they fail to bring in steps to prevent children from holding accounts. Parents and teenagers won’t be fined.
-
Advocates of the legislation—which is considered among the strictest in the world—hope it will make it easier for parents to keep their children off the platforms until they are more mature.
“Social media is doing harm to our children, and I’m calling time on it,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said when the bill was introduced to Parliament earlier this month. “I’ve spoken to thousands of parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles. They, like me, are worried sick about the safety of our children online.”
The country’s Senate passed the bill 34 votes to 19 Thursday. The House of Representatives Wednesday approved the legislation 102 votes to 13.

Trump Won The Gaetz AG Game

-
Gaetz ends AG bid amid renewed sex misconduct claims
Matt Gaetz withdraws as Trump's pick for attorney general - Washington Times
Former Rep. Matt Gaetz said Thursday that he is withdrawing from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general, amid persistent allegations he had sex with a minor and paid women for sex.
-
-
Why do Republicans get disqualified for sex stuff while Bill Clinton used Ak State Troopers to gather-up women for him with no adverse consequences and the Monica thing actually improved his popularity?
-
-
In retrospect, Trump played this political-card very well.
He catered to the Gaetz-TeaParty folks with the nomination.
Gaetz dropped out on his own and was Not dropped by Trump.
Trump now gets to choose a better and stronger AG candidate.
Gaetz now gets to fight for his 2025 House Seat again.

Johnson’s HUD Is Really FUD

-
HUD stands for Housing and Urban Development
-
FUD stands for "fear, uncertainty, and doubt" and is a manipulative tactic used to spread negative information and influence perception. It's often used in sales, marketing, politics, public relations, and cults.
-
-
In the signing ceremony for the HUD Act of 1965, Lyndon Johnson promised that it would “become known as the single most valuable housing legislation in our history.”
-
-
What are the results? In 1967 the U.S. homeownership rate was 64%. Nearly six decades and $3 trillion of spending (in 2024 dollars) later, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the home ownership rate is nearly . . . 64%.

Saving Owls By Killing Their Cousins

-
To save spotted owls, officials plan to kill a half-million (500,000) of another owl species
To save spotted owls, officials plan to kill a half-million of another owl species : NPR
-
To save the imperiled spotted owl from potential extinction, U.S. wildlife officials are embracing a contentious plan to deploy trained shooters into dense West Coast forests to kill almost a half-million barred owls that are crowding out their cousins.
-
The notion of killing one bird species to save another has divided wildlife advocates and conservationists. It's reminiscent of past government efforts to save West Coast salmon by killing sea lions and cormorants that prey on the fish, and to preserve warblers by killing cowbirds that lay eggs in warbler nests.

Biden Pokes Russian War-Bear On His Way Out

Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US long-range missiles to strike inside Russia: report | Fox News

Biden's announcement came just hours after Russia concluded one of its largest missile and drone attacks in months, launching over 200 targeting Ukraine's power and energy infrastructure.
-
-
Biden has been walking a narrow and dangerous line in the Russian-Ukraine war.
Supplying Ukraine with war materials to ostensibly be used for Defense-Only within Ukraine.
Now, with only two months to go in office, Biden has authorized the Offensive use of US War materials onto Russian soil and cities and thereby has exposed the US as a Direct participant in the War.

FDR used the “Lend Lease Program” to supply England with war materials to counter German aggression.
Germany launched its U-Boats against US merchant marine shipping.
They then joined Japan and Italy in the Axis war on the US.
We were at War Then --- We are at War Now.

Yet another war initiated on the Democrat's Watch.

LATimes Editorial Board Annihilated

-
Sadly The LeftWing PravdaMedia have abused the public trust as “Not fair & balanced news” and are now suffering self-immolation.
-
Unfortunately our local Roanoke Times still blindly pumps out material, with an ‘in-your-face’ delivery, totally contrary to their founder,
Mr. Claytor’s promise:
• It has no pets to reward and no enemies to put down.
• It will endeavor to be truthful.
• It is the mouthpiece of no order, corporation, party nor clique.

Russia behind plot to plant bombs on cargo planes, Western official says
Russia was responsible for sending two incendiary devices to DHL logistics hubs in Germany and the United Kingdom in July as part of a wider sabotage campaign to possibly start fires aboard aircraft bound for North America, a Western security official told NBC News.

The Wall Street Journal first reported on the suspected plot.
Polish authorities have arrested four people and are searching for two more in connection with the case, according to government officials and Polish media.
German and British authorities have said they were investigating suspected Russian sabotage in two incidents in July. A package en route to an aircraft exploded at a DHL logistics center in Leipzig before a scheduled flight. Also in July, a package burst into flames at a DHL center in Birmingham, England.
The packages included electric massagers that contained a magnesium-based flammable substance, the Western official said.

Historic Examples of similar attacks that led directly to WAR:
-
The British-owned steamship Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915, killing 1,195 people, including 128 Americans:
The sinking turned public opinion in many countries against Germany. It also contributed to the American entry into the War two years later;

On February 15, 1898, an explosion of unknown origin sank the battleship U.S.S. Maine in the Havana, Cuba harbor, killing 266 of the 354 crew members. The sinking of the Maine incited United States' passions against Spain, eventually leading to a naval blockade of Cuba and a declaration of war.
