NYCHA shows off new state-of-the-art vacuum-powered trash system in Harlem

*** begin quote ***
NEW YORK — A new state-of-the-art trash system in NYCHA’s Polo Grounds Towers in Harlem promises to tackle energy, rodent and recycling issues.
It is the first public housing building in the country to use the pneumatic technology.
*** and ***
Currently, staff spend eight hours a day moving garbage between buildings by foot. Now those crews will be better used, contributing to NYCHA’s partnership with Compost Power on the property, raking and repurposing fallen leaves, grinding them up into ground cover, as residents drop off food scraps for the community garden.
*** end quote ***
Sad that there is nothing in this for the Taxpayer.
And why is it a Federal issue?
(Remember: The Taxpayer funds extracted by the Federal Gooferment are decreased by handling costs for each level those fund pass thru. Into “Federal”, there goes 50%. Into NYC, there goes 50%. Into NYCHA, there goes another 50%. So, ½ times ½ time ½ equals a “friction effect” of losing 87.5%. Quibble about the exact percentage but you get the point. Pay for it as close to the service as possible!)
Also, why don’t private owners of rental properties do something similar? Maybe it’s not cost-effective? Or, maybe, the owners and / or renters would prefer a different amenity in stead?
Bottom line: The Taxpayers get to pay for something that most people could care less about. Except for the Socialists with their “religion” of Leftist issues. Argh!

FEMA’s Real Purpose: Suppressing Americans And Preventing Civilian Organization
By Brandon Smith Alt-Market.us
October 24, 2024
*** begin quote ***
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was founded on April 1st, 1979 under the Jimmy Carter Administration during the height of a nearly decade long stagflationary crisis and the Iranian oil crisis. Under Executive Order 12127, its stated goal was to centralize all disaster related efforts under a single top-down entity. Specifically, FEMA ended the more localized Civil Defense Agency, which was focused on community based emergency response, and it federalized all disaster coordination under a single top-down system controlled by the Oval Office.
*** and ***
We just witnessed a repeat of this behavior from FEMA and the affiliated agencies within their oversight. We saw local EMS being advised to prevent civilians from helping their communities. Supplies were once agaun being blocked, people with drones were being told not to help find survivors, people with helicopters are were threatened for helping save survivors and little aid reached Helene victims for weeks. Elon Musk’s Starlink was even been prevented from providing satellite internet services to affected regions until the story went national and the Department of Transportation was forced to address the problem.
*** and ***
I argue that this is all deliberate. FEMA and the federal government at large are still using Operation Garden Plot-like protocols with two goals in mind…
First, they are trying to acclimate the populace to the idea that civilians can’t help themselves and that they should do nothing. They do this by constantly interfering with civilian efforts and disrupting donations. If civilians are working on their own to save US communities from calamity then they might one day realize they don’t need the Federal Government for anything. The establishment NEEDS people to believe that they can’t survive without government aid and protection. Luckily, at least in the aftermath of Helene, it seems that many communities are working on their own to fix the situation.
If civilians start doing things for themselves, the establishment machine becomes obsolete.
Second, I suspect FEMA is testing the waters to see how much they can get away with. Katrina was a clear beta-test for martial law disguised as an emergency response. Katrina was Garden Plot and Rex-84 realized. They want to see what Americans will put up with. Helene is yet another opportunity for these agencies to apply overt control and see if Americans will conform or rebel.
*** end quote ***
Time to end FEMA, DHS, and bunch of other Federal Gooferment agencies.
People need to help each other and send the Federal Gooferment back to their offices. They just actively interfere with “We, The Sheeple” doing what they have done for eons — survive by helping each other.
Argh!

Op-Ed: Americans Once Again Betrayed by Their Own Uncle Sam
Dale Glading
Cross-Posted from DaleGlading.com
*** begin quote ***
It may be the greatest betrayal of Americans by their own government in U.S. history, right up there with Congress raiding the Social Security “lockbox” to pay current expenses. In that latter instance, the $2.8 trillion surplus that the Social Security Administration amassed from the mid-1980s through 2020 has been invested in interest-bearing Treasury securities. In other words, by investing in T-bills, the SSA has loaned the federal government money for its general operating budget, money that will have to repaid to cover future benefits by borrowing even more money (with interest) down the road.
Got it?
As a result of that “rob Peter now to pay Paul later” mentality, Social Security is expected to deplete its trust fund by 2037, after which benefits will have to be reduced by approximately 25% for the program to remain solvent. That means that a government program that was built upon the shoulders of Baby Boomers in the workforce is projected to collapse when those same Boomers are fully retired.
Sounds like a Ponzi scheme on steroids to me.
<< EDITOR ADDED: Absolutely!>
*** and ***
Even worse, FEMA is now in no position to assist American citizens in the path of Milton because it mismanaged its $33 billion budget, only $20 billion of which is actually designated for major disaster relief. How incompetent, unconscionable, and unforgiveable is that?
By comparison, Samaritan’s Purse operates on a $1 billion annual budget and provides far more emergency relief in a far more effective manner. According to Christianity Today, “the organization’s 160,000-square-foot warehouse and offices in North Wilkesboro, NC employ 385 people who buy, repair, maintain and retrofit millions of dollars’ worth of medical equipment, generators and water filtration systems, much of them donated. The warehouse has six emergency field hospitals ready to ship, four with tents, hospital beds, anesthesiology equipment, X-ray machines, and surgical suites – all engineered to fold into a plane’s fuselage. There are also miles of plastic tarps, mountains of clothing and boxes full of small brown teddy bears with the Samaritan’s Purse logo – a cross inside a circle.”
*** and ***
And so, I suggest the following: impeach Secretary Mayorkas for a second time and turn the rest of FEMA’s annual operating budget over to Samaritan’s Purse.
*** end quote ***
Clearly, the Federal Gooferment is a complete failure in so many many dimensions. Time to start over. Let’s dissolve “The United States” into its component parts and let the individual States figure out the problem. Just declare bankruptcy and let the chips fall where they may.

Exclusive: Feds and State AG Investigate an Alleged Human Trafficking Empire Run in Springfield, Ohio, for Years by ‘King George’
*** begin quote ***
Dispatches from Springfield, Ohio – The story in this town is not about cats or dogs. It’s about mules. It’s a twin tragedy of migrant workers from Haiti exploited and locals from Springfield marginalized. Just about every week since 2019, First Diversity Staffing Group Inc. has shuttled vulnerable Haitian migrants in unmarked white Ford and Chevy vans from Florida to Ohio, where they are allegedly exploited for cheap labor by companies like Dole Food Company Inc. It is a secretive and sinister operation that has gone unchecked for more than five years. The mastermind behind this scheme lives in a $1.35 million mansion on Pawleys Plantation Court. His name is George Ten, but in that underworld, his nickname is “King George,” because of his opulent lifestyle of luxury cars, cash handouts and fast-talk. For years, he has operated his reign of alleged exploitation openly and freely out of a former mansion on E. High Street.
Asra Q. Nomani
*** and ***
What began as my efforts to track down a rumor about animal cruelty has turned into an investigation that reveals a malignant system of labor exploitation involving a local businessman, George Ten, whom Haitians and local residents call “King George,” the chief executive at First Diversity Staffing Group Inc., a Springfield company that has been the tip of the spear in the alleged trafficking operation of Haitians to the town.
While Haitians have lived in homes condemned now with an “X” on the front door, he lives in a $1.35 million mansion on Pawleys Plantation Court in a ritzy neighborhood called “Estates at Country Club of the North.”
*** and ***
This is a story of unchecked greed and cruelty, committed not by the immigrants, but to the immigrants, with local residents of Springfield also a casualty.
As most journalists learn through experience, things are rarely as they seem. When the allegation of migrants eating cats and dogs exploded across the media, I knew there was more beneath the surface. What began as an investigation into animal cruelty quickly revealed a much darker reality—a large-scale human trafficking operation.
I arrived in Springfield from my home in Morgantown, W.V., a town much like Springfield in size and scale. I wanted to get to the bottom of this story. I came to Springfield because I felt a connection to the immigrants and the locals here, both their stories echoing my own experience growing up uniting two worlds. I moved to the U.S. with my brother when I was four years old, joining our parents as they made the difficult move in search of a better life, and when I was 10, we settled in West Virginia.
*** end quote ***
Maybe DJT45 may have gotten the story wrong about animal cruelty, there is an underlying story that’s a lot worse.
He should make this a campaign issue about Human Trafficking and Election Interference.
Argh!

10 Million Illegal Aliens: What Is to Be Done?
By Randall Childs
<< 2024-09Sep-25 Wed >>
*** begin quote ***
After the economy, illegal immigration ranks highest among voters’ concerns. President Trump has spoken of “mass deportations” of the more than ten million illegal aliens who have flooded our country under Biden-Harris. That’s appealing political rhetoric to the base, but he needs to build policy muscle upon the rhetorical bones.
First, the optics. We’re talking ten million people, and then some. Men, women, children, oldsters, families. Some are the “hardworking people seeking a better life,” as they claim; others are gangsters and terrorists, plus lots in between. Rounding them up and arranging transport of a population equal to Michigan will be no small feat. Prepare for nightmarish images of armed agents descending upon “immigrant” motels and shelters; rounding up families and frog-walking them onto buses, trucks, trains, and planes; and shipping them out. We can expect horrific portrayals of “children in cages” revisited, oldsters with ailments, detention centers portrayed as internment camps, all that. Wouldn’t the anti-Trump media have a field day? Families torn apart! Lives disrupted! Local economies hit hard. And what if their nations of origin refused their re-entry? More ugly media attention.
Candidate Trump needs to present a credible plan to repatriate these people in an orderly, efficient, humane, and politically palatable way. This can be done by arranging deportations in cohorts according to immigrants’ harm and costs to our nation.
We start with the criminal elements: murderers, rapists, drunk drivers, drug-dealers, and professional shoplifters. By legal and administrative means, illegals who have been involved in criminal activity will be prioritized in “grab” lists and subject to arrest and detention. Being flight risks, they must be denied bail, then given a simple choice: be prosecuted, or be deported with the understanding that re-entry will be a mandatory five-year felony. The point is to get bad actors out of the country.
*** end quote ***
Well, it seems like a no brainer to start with the high priority criminals.
I’m sure that would make a huge difference in “the problem”.
I like the idea of having a plan for the “sanctuary cities and states”. Cut off the federal funds seem like a way to get “cooperation”.
Argh!

Tayler Hansen Loses YouTube Account Days After He Is Mentioned in a DOJ Indictment as the Victim of an Alleged Crime
by Jim Hoft Sep. 7, 2024 7:30 am
*** begin quote ***
On Wednesday, the Biden-Harris Regime announced it was launching a “whole government action” to purge so-called ‘Russian propaganda’ and ‘disinformation’ ahead of the 2024 election.
Biden accused Russia of a sustained effort to influence the upcoming election, according to CNN and NBC News.
Then, on Wednesday afternoon, the Department of Justice announced that employees from Russia Today’s media outlet had invested in a $10 million scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging.
Crooked AG Merrick Garland announced, “The Justice Department will not tolerate attempts by an authoritarian regime to exploit our country’s free exchange of ideas in order to covertly further its own propaganda efforts, and our investigation into this matter remains ongoing.”
*** and ***
According to the Biden DOJ, the RT employees set up Tenet Media, a media startup company linked to conservative heavyweights Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, Dave Rubin, Lauren Southern, and Tayler Hanson.
These leading conservative talkers quickly condemned the allegations by Joe Biden’s lawless DOJ.
But the damage was done, and the DOJ tied these prominent conservatives to their latest “Russian scandal.”
It didn’t take long before these conservatives, despite being innocent, were targeted by the social media elites.
On Friday, YouTube banned Tayler Hansen’s account. Tayler had hundreds of videos of his undercover work over the years. Now it is gone. They don’t even warn you so you can save your videos!
*** end quote ***
Sure, and it just so happens that this is right in front of the election.
How about holding announcements until you’ve won in court?
Just because Merrick Garland says something, it must be true.
Argh!

Elon Musk’s Starlink Offers Free Emergency Phone Coverage in Wilderness Areas Worldwide
By Andy Corbley – Sep 2, 2024
*** begin quote ***
The satellite internet service Starlink is seeking approval to facilitate 911 calls from wilderness areas to help improve search and rescue efforts and reduce deaths.
Elon Musk’s satellite constellation has served a variety of publicized uses, like giving Ukrainians the ability to communicate during wartime. The most recent is a partnership between Starlink and T-Mobile seeking FCC regulatory approval for a direct-to-cellular service that would allow those deep in the mountains and forests to reach emergency services.
“SpaceX Starlink will provide emergency services access for mobile phones for people in distress for free,” Musk wrote on his social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
“This applies worldwide, subject to approval by country governments. Can’t have a situation where someone dies because they forgot, or were unable to pay for it.”
Direct-to-cellular functions would have a greater scope than just emergencies. Speaking about their application to the FCC, the chairwoman of the regulatory agency referred to it as the beginning of the “Single-network future” which she described as one in which the user “won’t need to think about what network, where, and what services are available; connections will just work everywhere, all the time.”
*** end quote ***
Excuse me, but in stead of the the FCC chairwoman “speaking”, why hasn’t this been “approved” without further “Barbara streisand”?
Sorry, but I don’t understand.
Musk made an offer. The response should be: “Go ahead with all due haste”!
Argh!

Researcher sued for sharing data stolen by ransomware with media
By Bill Toulas — August 30, 2024 10:44 AM
*** begin quote ***
The complaint notes that Goodwolf’s sharing of law enforcement data and the alleged plans to create a website for people to see if their data was exposed interferes with police investigations.
The City seeks a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and permanent injunction against Goodwolf to prevent further dissemination of stolen data. Additionally, the City is seeking damages exceeding $25,000.
A reported by NBC4, a Franklin County judge issued the temporary restraining order yesterday, barring Goodwolf from accessing, downloading, and disseminating the City’s stolen data. The order also requires the defendant to preserve all data that was downloaded to date.
In a press conference about the lawsuit, shown below, City Attorney Zach Klein says that the lawsuit is not about suppressing free speech, as Goodwolf can still talk about the leak, but is aimed at preventing him from downloading and disseminating the stolen information.
*** end quote ***
Of course, it IS about suppressing free speech. Especially when a politician is proved to be a liar! Argh!

California lawmakers approve legislation to ban deepfakes, protect workers and regulate AI
By TRÂN NGUYỄN
Updated 3:06 AM EDT, September 1, 2024
*** begin quote ***
Lawmakers approved legislation to ban deepfakes related to elections and require large social media platforms to remove the deceptive material 120 days before Election Day and 60 days thereafter. Campaigns also would be required to publicly disclose if they’re running ads with materials altered by AI.
A pair of proposals would make it illegal to use AI tools to create images and videos of child sexual abuse. Current law does not allow district attorneys to go after people who possess or distribute AI-generated child sexual abuse images if they cannot prove the materials are depicting a real person.
Tech companies and social media platforms would be required to provide AI detection tools to users under another proposal.
*** end quote ***
Yeah, passing “laws” makes everything better. How is it working for drugs?
I think the word “LAW” should be restricted to real laws. Like the Law of Gravity, Law of Unintended Consequences, or Law of Gravity.
What Gooferments passes are diktats. Bureaucrats make “regulations”.
Useless for all those who just don’t follow the rules.

The Sad Lesson of School Sex Abuse: It’s Pass the Trash, Not Catch the Trash (Part 3 of a Series)
By James Varney, RealClearInvestigations
August 28, 2024
*** begin quote ***
Ashley quickly told her mother and school officials, including a school security officer she confused with a police officer. They assured her the matter would be handled. But Allen was never arrested or charged with any crime. He resigned quietly from Little Axe in 2002. In the years since, he has coached or taught at seven other Oklahoma high schools, according to state records, a development Ashley found appalling.
“I watched them pass the trash right in front of me,” said the woman, now Ashley Rolen, 39, an Oklahoma City entrepreneur married to a pastor. She is working to publicize the problem of sexual misconduct, particularly among K-12 school employees. “My story is significant but not unique,” she notes ruefully.
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but this should NOT happen. All resignations, “quiet” or otherwise, should be reported to the press and investigated by the police. Bring the bureaucrats (i.e., principal; the vice; and anyone else in the chain of command) down to the police station, put them in an interrogation room, and ask “routine questions”. Anyone that doesn’t cooperate is immediately suspended pending an appearance at a Grand Jury. If crossing state lines is involved the FBI should be conducting the investigation. I’d insist on an audio and video record be kept.
This <synonym for excrement> would quickly stop. No “education” bureaucrat would risk their job, pension, and possible jail time to cover for a criminal. I suspect that there would enthusiastic cooperation.
And, anyone convicted or loses misconduct suit in court is FOREVER banned from school or Gooferment employment at any level.

Zuckerberg admits Biden admin pressured Facebook to censor COVID content, says it was wrong to suppress The Post’s Hunter laptop coverage

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted Monday that the Biden administration pressured Facebook to censor COVID-19 content and acknowledged it was wrong to stifle The Post’s coverage of Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop.
In an explosive letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Zuckerberg wrote that “senior Biden administration officials, including the White House, repeatedly pressured” Meta to “censor” content related to the coronavirus pandemic in 2021.
The content the Biden administration requested that Meta take down included “humor and satire,” according to the Facebook founder, and he said he regrets complying with certain demands.

Biden-Harris Admin Warns Kindergartners Climate Change Will Leave Entire US Cities Underwater
- Kids warned of ‘inescapable death spiral’ of climate change by federal government
Thomas Catenacci — August 26, 2024
*** begin quote ***
NASA’s “Climate Kids” webpage offers fun environment-related educational activities, films, and video games for children in kindergarten. It also warns children that the world is undergoing cataclysmic warming, sea levels are rising, global ice coverage is diminishing, and their future may very well be doomed.
Climate Kids proclaims that the cost of fossil fuels is “pollution, the destruction of landscapes and natural habitats, oil spills in the ocean, and nasty fracking chemicals in the ground,” while the “biggest problem of all” is global warming. The website separately shows an image of what it says may soon occur to the United States’ Eastern Seaboard: a calamitous sea level rise covering entire cities, including New Orleans and Miami. The website fails to include a timeline for such an event.
*** end quote ***
Maybe NASA should gocus on warning the billionairs buying beach front property … …
Or maybe how to rescue the astronauts stuck on the ISS because their ride home is broken?
Argh!
The Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. As well as untrustworthy.
And, in this specific incident, “way out of their lane.”
If the Obamas believed in global warming’s sea rise, why to they have TWO ocean front mansions. Could this be evidence that they don’t believe their own propaganda “mis information”.
Maybe NASA should warn Kindergartners about zombies, Pennywise, and not brushing their teeth,
Argh!
I have an idea, let’s defund NASA. It’s good start. Let Wall Street sell off their facilities and use it for the 35T$ of “national debt”. And, while we are defunding things, #endtheFED. Repeal the 16th and 17th amendments too.

A cute, cheap death trap? Japanese Kei cars banned by yet another US state
Limited in size and power, Kei cars are like fishes out of water on US roads.
Jonathan M. Gitlin – 8/15/2024, 3:36 PM
*** begin quote ***
Kei cars are the antithesis of the big American SUV. Where EPA regulations effectively penalize automakers for building smaller, more efficient cars, Japan’s Kei car regulations cap size, weight, and power to just fractions. Kei cars aren’t just small, they’re also pretty cheap, a fact that has made them a sales success in Japan and highly desirable as a gray-market import, particularly by people who think new cars have gotten too large, too complicated, and too expensive. A few years ago, Ars even wrote a guide on how to go about importing one from Japan.
But not everyone is a fan of the diminutive Kei import. As far as the federal government is concerned, as long as it’s more than 25 years old, an imported car does not have to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards or fuel economy standards; just makes sure you pay all your import duties.
That’s because the federal government doesn’t license vehicles to operate on public roads. That task belongs to the individual states, and increasingly, they are giving Kei cars the thumbs down—sometimes even in cases where previously those cars posed no problem.
*** and ***
<<< a comment on the story >>>
Mungus the Unhyphenated
The root of the problem stems from an organization called AAMVA — the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. It’s an organization that’s part non-governmental regulatory organization (managing the Commercial Driver License system), part advisory organization, and part lobbying organization. They create more or less ready-to-deploy rules and legislative proposals.
AAMVA has had it in for “mini trucks” (Kei trucks) for years, and has expanded their efforts to all Kei vehicles now.
Do we really want an organization like this — which isn’t answerable to the public at all — effectively dictating to states’ motor vehicle departments? My thought is “no”, but how many average people even know of its existence, let alone agendas, to speak up about it?
August 15, 2024 at 8:43 pm
*** end quote ***
Just what we need an entrenched bunch of bureaucrats for the benefit of Gooferment bureaucrats. What could POSSIBLY go wrong? Everything!!!
The Federal Gooferment is worried about Google? How about worrying about stuff closer to home. Here’s an organization that is a non-governmental regulatory – advisory – lobbying organization. Argh!
Close the borders and open up trade.

A California judge has ruled that teachers were right to punish a seven-year-old girl over a Black Lives Matter drawing because ‘she’s too young to have First Amendment rights.’
*** end quote ***
Assuming that Gooferment Skrules gets Federal money, then where does the Bill of Rights say that?
Sorry but just another example of the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats taking away RIGHTS that imbue from our humanity.

My emails with the County Executive’s office of Santa Clara County
- These people need to be held accountable for their decision to look the other way when confronted with evidence of public harm. If you live in Santa Clara County, please share your thoughts with them.
Steve Kirsch — Jul 13, 2024
*** begin quote ***
I had a discussion with the Director, Civic and Community Engagement of Santa Clara County whom I was referred to when I attempted to ask for a meeting with the County Executive.
Here’s the tl;dr:
“The Santa Clara County Public Health Department isn’t interested in answering any questions about malfeasance regarding their data and we’re not interested in the answer either.
We don’t give a shit that people were injured or killed as a result of the public health recommendations so we’re not going to answer any more of your questions.
Have a nice day. Goodbye.”
This is an unacceptable response and I’m not going to let them get away with it. I plan to hold them accountable for their actions. All legal of course!
*** end quote ***
It’s time that Gooferment bureaucrats were held accountable for being non-responsive.
The Gooferment politician in charge should fire them. If they refuse or can’t, then they should be cvoted out of office.
I bet that this only has to be done a few times to correct bad behavior.
Argh!

Boston is getting more speed humps. A LOT more.
The humps themselves are about three inches high and about 12 to 14 feet long. Cars can smoothly travel over them at 20 miles per hour or slower.
By Molly Farrar — July 11, 2024
*** begin quote ***
A speed hump could be coming to a street in your neighborhood soon, as the city unrolls a years-long effort to promote traffic safety.
The City of Boston will install more than 2,000 of the humps, as part of “Safety Surge,” which began in October. The City plans to have installed more than 400 humps by the end of July.
*** and ***
More humps are planned for Mission Hill and Allston-Brighton. According to the city’s website, there will be no opportunity for resident feedback, but residents will be notified before a speed hump is built on their street.
*** end quote ***
I wonder if the elite are getting speed bumps like it or not?
Somehow I suspect not.
And, I guess all the potholes have already been filled?
Yet, another example of Gooferment arrogance.

Small businesses accuse Missouri city of forcing them out with baseless blight label to score lucrative deal
Small businesses file lawsuit against St. Louis suburb in eminent domain case
By Megan Myers, Hannah Ray Lambert Fox News
Published June 5, 2024 5:00am EDT
*** begin quote ***
Three small businesses are suing a St. Louis suburb, accusing the local government of sneakily steamrolling them to make a hefty profit through a deal that could financially cripple longtime mom-and-pop shops.
“All the politicians say every day on the news how great we are, but when we’re in their way, we’re not so great,” Feather-Craft Fly Fishing President Bob Story said about small businesses. “You can be a part of a community for 30-plus years and be treated like you’re worthless.”
The city of Brentwood, Missouri, is threatening to use eminent domain to force out businesses on a major road for a multi-million dollar redevelopment plan. A few longtime business owners accused the city of making a groundless claim that the area has been “blighted” to justify the lucrative project on Manchester Road, leading them to file their lawsuit.
*** and ***
Property owners could either sell willingly or be forced out by eminent domain.
In 2005, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of cities using eminent domain to seize property for economic development in the Kelo vs. New London case. Certain states, including Missouri, have since taken steps to protect property owners, but loopholes have allowed cities to take advantage of vulnerable areas like Manchester Road, the business owners said.
In Missouri, state law allows the government to seize private property that has been deemed blighted, broadly defined as having “insanitary or unsafe conditions, deterioration of site improvements” or other factors that present “economic or social liability.”
*** end quote ***
In Kelo, a neighborhood was seized and flattened for a Pfizer Headquarters that was never built.
Wonder whose nests got feathered by that “deal”? Wasn’t the home owners.
Sounds like the same type of “deal” here.
Argh!

My neighbor has a sea-faring vessel which he parks on the side of his home. A few weeks ago, he received a letter from the city stating he needed to build a new fence to hide said vessel from view of the street. After reluctantly building the fence and driveway, he presented a sassy idea to me that would require my artistic skills.
So here it is…
A painting of boat in a driveway next to a house on a fence in front of a boat in a driveway next to a house!

I love this response to a Gooferment diktat!

Why Not Abolish All Foreign Aid? – LewRockwell
By Jacob G. Hornberger
*** begin quote ***
Here is the alternative: Abolish all foreign aid to every regime, including the Israeli government. Moreover, abolish the taxes that fund foreign aid. Then leave Americans free to donate their money to Israel or anyone else in the world.
Wouldn’t that be a more just system? Wouldn’t that system be more consistent with the principles of individual liberty, personal responsibility, and voluntary charity? Don’t care and compassion come only from the willing heart of the individual and not from than the coercive apparatus of the tax system, the brutal and tyrannical agency that enforces it, and the federal agency that distributes the loot?
Reprinted with permission from The Future of Freedom Foundation.
*** end quote ***
Ron Paul says to cut foreign aid to all countries, even to Israel, because it essentially takes money from the poor in the U.S. and is given to the rich in poor countries.
I remember post WW2 when real people sent CARE packages to war torn Europe.
Let “real people” contribute “foreign aid” when they see fit in ways they see fit. I like “DONOR SEE” for the way real people can help real people without force or fraud.
OxFam and other such charities are good ways to do it.
Just nothing with the Gooferment, the UN, or other NGO’s .
Argh!

California mocked over $11 billion high-speed rail bridge to nowhere that took 9 years to build
By Rich Calder
Published May 4, 2024, 5:17 p.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
California is taking of heat for celebrating the completion of an high-speed rail bridge that has cost taxpayers $11 billion and took nine years to build — and clearly goes nowhere.
Critics — including Tesla founder Elon Musk and Dogecoin creator Billy Markus — are ripping the California High Speed Rail Authority after it boasted about last year’s completion of a “Fresno River Viaduct,” a mere sliver of the state’s long-delayed, bullet-train project attempting to link San Francisco to Los Angeles
“This is the most remarkable human achievement ever,” joked Markus, the creator of the jokey cryptocurrency, on X Friday.
*** end quote ***
If this wasn’t so sad and frustrating, then it might be funny ha ha.
As it is, it is evidence that the political class of the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah need to be replaced by nothing,
11 BILLION dollars to go no where?
Who’s brother-in-law got that contract?
If nothing else, the time value of money is ignored. And, by the time something connects with it, it’s going to be obsolete or decayed.
Argh!

NC Court Rules Federal PREP Act Protects Forced Vaccination Without Parental Consent
by Carolyn Hendler, JD
Published April 8, 2024
*** begin quote ***
A North Carolina Court of Appeals found that a clinic, where personnel gave a 14-year-old boy a COVID-19 shot without his consent or parental consent, was protected by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act). The court concluded that the Guilford Board of Education, which hosted the clinic, was also covered by the PREP Act.1
Despite calling the act of forcing a child to get a COVID-19 shot against his will and without his parent’s consent, “egregious,” the court unanimously concluded that the PREP Act preempted state law and protected the defendants from being held liable for battery, violation of Tanner’s mother’s constitutional liberty and parental rights, and violation of Tanner’s bodily autonomy and plaintiffs’ federal constitutional rights.2
The minor child, Tanner Smith, attended Western Guilford High School in Greensboro, North Carolina when the school district sent a letter to his parents stating that Tanner was one of the students who may have been exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and that, unless he got tested, he would not be able to “return to football practice until cleared by a public health professional.” The letter set forth that one of the local schools would be hosting a free clinic offering testing the following day. The letter explained that, “consent for testing is required.”3 4
The following day, Tanner’s step-father took him to the clinic at the local school for the free testing so that Tanner could return to football practice. The school district failed to inform the parents that a there was also a free vaccination clinic along with the free testing at the school that same day. While Tanner’s step-father waited in the car, Tanner filled out a form that he believed was for the free testing needed to return to football practice. At that time, one of the clinic workers attempted to reach out to Tanner’s mother but she was not available. Tanner’s step-father who was waiting outside the clinic was not called.5
*** end quote ***
I’d be more than <past tense synonym for urine output> off if it was my child.
And, what about all the vaccine injuries we now know about?
Also, that the EULA was wrong because Ivermectin was available when they declared it an “emergency”.
Sorry but this was nothing more than a raid on the Public Treasury that trampled all the People’s rights.
Where is the outrage?

NYC’s Upper West Side already becoming commuter parking lot for congestion-pricing evaders
By Chris Harris
Published April 6, 2024 — Updated April 6, 2024, 9:16 a.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
The Upper West Side is about to become a commuter parking lot.
Already notorious for its scarcity of spaces, the parking situation on the UWS has reached new lows of desperation ahead of the mid-June implementation of the Big Apple’s much-maligned, five-years-in-the-making congestion parking plan, which the MTA’s board authorized last month.
“The situation up here is untenable,” said longtime West 79th Street resident Renee Baruch, who’s noticed a steady uptick since January in the number of cars with out-of-state plates circling her block each morning.
“They’re on Riverside Drive, on side streets, with plates from all over, and you’re seeing the same ones every day,” explained Baruch, part of a consortium of Manhattanites that continues to push pols for a parking permitting system.

A ‘traumatized’ single mom has claimed Southwest Airlines accused her of child trafficking while she was traveling with her four-year-old son from Florida to Ohio.
Video footage shows the moment Mary Bridgetta Tomarchio, 45, was confronted by two armed police officers at at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport on February 17 after receiving a suspicious report from ‘a pilot’.
Tomarchio told DailyMail.com she thought the officers were joking at first but quickly became terrified as they questioned her and asked for proof she was his mother.

While “child trafficking” is a terrible problem, there must be a better way of checking?
