This is so enraging.

Not that our history is better - we have committed so many atrocities that we can't even keep track of them all.

Why would you comment on this article by citing the US?

He's part of the Hate America crowd.

Hate the sin, love the sinner, Ham.

No room for your chauvinist bullshit, let alone Ward's and Kid's.

Says the guy who just said, "He's part of the Hate America crowd."

You are oh, so tolerant.

After all, your use of "the woke" speaks volumes to your tolerance, too.

Hypocrisy is the go-to for the Ham.

A single (partial)building collapse in Florida is due to Climate Change?
The hundreds of thousands of USA buildings still standing strong are due to what?
I am so confoosed.

[Oilcanary]

Buildings that stand are not over sinkholes caused by pumping out aquifers or by saltwater infiltration.

The latest flare-up of violence in the Gaza Strip has been accompanied by a “catalogue of violations” committed by Israeli police against Palestinians in Israel and occupied East Jerusalem, according to research from Amnesty International.

Arab citizens of Israel have been subjected to unlawful force from officers during peaceful demonstrations, sweeping mass arrests, torture and other ill-treatment in detention, and police have failed to protect Palestinians from premeditated attacks by rightwing Jewish extremists, the human rights watchdog said on Thursday.

Well, you know what they say. When you are tired of Vegas you are tired of life. Which explains its rising suicide rate.

Yes, you are very confused.

(a) You think this is a single building's collapse, when it is not - it is just the most recent substantial building to be lost in the US. And I did observe that it is a possibility that it was caused by or influenced by a combination of climate change and water usage. So hard to keep these things in mind.

(b) The vast bulk of the USA's buildings are not in Florida, Ward. I don't know if you knew that. Florida is one of the areas of the country most prone to have sinkholes. "The most damage from sinkholes tends to occur in Florida, Texas, Alabama, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania."

https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/water-science-school/science/sinkholes

(c) You are disingenuous the vast bulk of the time in your posts in this forum, Ward, which makes it challenging to know when you are sincerely confused vs. being a doofus, but this time I think it's both. You mean to be mock-confused, while managing to demonstrate real confusion.

Good job!

Climate change is not the only cause of sinkholes, but it is one factor. Mines are another. Earthquakes. Plenty of others.

Giuliani's been suspended from practicing law in New York. (State)

A New York court ruled that Giuliani made "demonstrably false and misleading statements to courts, lawmakers and the public at large in his capacity as lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump."

"These false statements were made to improperly bolster respondent’s narrative that due to widespread voter fraud, victory in the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from his client," the court wrote.
"We conclude that respondent’s conduct immediately threatens the public interest and warrants interim suspension from the practice of law, pending further proceedings before the Attorney Grievance Committee."

The liberal swoon over Kamala Harris is ebbing.
It was just five months ago that the LA Times announced a new feature  "Covering Kamala Harris," a on-going feature  dedicated to her “ historic rise to the White House".
The Times justified its coverage with  Kamala Harris is the first vice president who is Black, South Asian, female and the direct descendants of immigrants.

Well, now.
Yesterday the Times entry in “ Covering Kamala Harris” was hardly complimentary. 



Essential Politics: Failure of elections bill shows limits of Kamala Harris’ influence

There was justifiable skepticism this month when President Biden announced Vice President Kamala Harris would lead an effort to expand voting rights and pledged the administration would “fight like heck with every tool at my disposal” to pass a major bill in Congress.

Fast forward three weeks, and Democrats are where many thought they would be: nowhere. The Senate killed the House-passed “For the People Act” on Tuesday, with Democrats lacking the 60 votes to overcome a Republican filibuster.

As for Harris’ role, the takeaway was how little we saw of her. No dramatic trips to the Senate to court votes. No statements on how to find compromise. No known talks with West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, the sole Democratic holdout in supporting the bill, or Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky Republican who kept his members from breaking ranks in opposition to even debating it.


All those nice diversity check boxes Harris claimed as assets seem to have been canceled by the one left unchecked:
COMPETENCE

More hero worship on display for the criminal class: https://news.yahoo.com/protesters-light-fire-outside-south-145500538.html

Cocaine, weapons, and then assault on a police officer, but it's a "racist system" that caused the problem?

 Who needs Willie Horton, when you have so-called activists protecting the criminals who are in their neighborhoods and preying on them.

Chauivin (sentencing scheduled for tomorrow) will likely get more years in prison than this traitor: A female linguist who worked for the Pentagon in Iraq was sentenced to 23 years behind bars for giving classified information to a Hezbollah-tied foreign national.

Mariam Taha Thompson was charged in May 2020 in federal court with “transmitting highly sensitive classified national defense information to a foreign national," who she believed would provide the information to Lebanese-based Hezbollah, a foreign terrorist organization tied to Iran.

Court records show Thompson signed an extensive statement of facts in late January admitting to the covert plot, and she pleaded guilty in March. Thompson faced a maximum sentence of up to life imprisonment.
