An entire small factory explodes, and after a few hours on the news, it's mostly forgotten. Meanwhile, there is tremendous hoopla about the hostages being freed. Out of all they took, only twenty came out alive. Palestinians are now fighting among each other, which is how it always starts. They fight with each other, one group becomes the big dog group, they terrorize their citizens, the terror group amasses money, the money is used to attack Israel, Israel steps in, the current group of terrorists are mostly eliminated, and it all starts over. Will there ever be peace? Sure, but one side has to be decimated to the point there is little left.
Inflation is being taken under control...or not. Out of my multiple decades of watching this show, it will never be under control, unless some drastic measures are taken to reel in the ass-clowns that are elected to perform their particular form of grifting. Their grift is a small percentage of the thievery, but they manage to convince those that help them steal elections their share will be worth the effort to enrich those slipping the money under the table.
Some cities are refusing to accomplish one of the most basic of reasons people accumulate in one place. The crime they allow, and promote, guarantees someone will find their short trip to the corner store will not be a pleasant experience. To add insult to injury, illegals are sucking up public funds, and attacking the officers trying to round them up for deportation. The city officials are not only condoning the actions, they're promoting the violence. Trump wants to have the military return the peace. I wouldn't. I'd just cut off access to the city, declare it a disaster zone, make anyone wanting to travel to the city go through a checkpoint, and wait for the reaction. It would take less than three days for the cities to straighten up.
The United States government is shut down...kinda...not really. It's the dog and pony show that happens when the grifters try to perpetuate their current grift. Some type of arrangement will eventually be made, the expendables will be announced, the deficit spending will continue not being addressed, and the machine will continue its laborious clanking purpose to finance those with few scruples, with plenty of waste. The increasingly ignorant will still not have a clue, but will fight for their place at the public trough.
Insurance costs are rising. The exact reasons are never really clear, but there's money to be made on those that have enough to try and pay the costs. Those on a fixed income don't really have a chance. The elderly are most affected, since their income is eaten by inflation at a rate that constantly places them further behind.
There's more, and I'm just preaching to the choir, but I feel better by complaining. It doesn't do much, but as they say: "It ain't rape if you don't scream."
this is the last 20 hostages. hamas returned about a hundred earlier in the year and a bunch of dead ones. they were supposed to return a bunch more dead ones today but nobody is mentioning they haven't. last time they returned some goat bones instead of a baby's corpse so.....the factory was an explosives plant, a very small one. they go up all the time. we have one in radford, it blows a couple times a year....don't scream, you'll just die with a sore throat, and they like it.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I saw on Google Earth, the facility was very small, and there is nothing left of the production, or office building. Whatever exploded was enough to set it all off.
DeleteThings fall apart - the center cannot hold.
ReplyDeleteIt's a huge mess, and solving it will lead to some times many people are totally unprepared to handle.
