The IDF has lots of experience finding people in rubble after buildings are destroyed, thanks to Islamic terrorists.

They travel all over the world to help in these types of situations.

But to a Leftist, they show up because they must have brought the building down.

For the record, it was brought down because it posed a risk to the rescue teams.  It was unstable and a controlled demolition that had it fall away from where the rescue teams were operating was safer than having it fall on the rescue teams as they removed rubble.

But why understand that when you can blame the JOOOOOOOOOSSS!!!

An enormous swath of Americans live with no real serious problems.

They have no fear that they may not have a next meal or clean water to drink.  That if they get sick they will be unable to see a doctor and be healed.  That the next time the weather gets too hot or too cold they might die of exposure.  Or that an animal might eat them or a neighboring tribe or warlord might kill them or enslave them.

I  might go on to say that perhaps human beings are not evolved to live in such a relative paradise.

It’s funny, but in the movie The Matrix, Agent Smith explains that in the first few iterations of the Matrix, simulated life was idyllic and the humans died.

In the Bible, humanity gets itself cast out of Eden.

Nevertheless, when people live lives of such ease, all they do is become resentful of the tiny imperfections they see.

All of America everywhere isn’t perfect to their standards so they hate it.

Nothing demonstrates this more than sponsored athletes, given every advantage in life, showing disrespect to the nation and to a veteran who fought real evil to protect this nation.

See you when I see you

I was reminded of this today.

After America has won the War of Independence and established itself as a nation, one of the largest Jewish congregations in the new country reached out to the father of this nation, George Washington, with their concerns given the history of the treatment of Jews in Europe.

This was Washington’s Reply:

Gentlemen.

While I receive, with much satisfaction, your Address replete with expressions of affection and esteem; I rejoice in the opportunity of assuring you, that I shall always retain a grateful remembrance of the cordial welcome I experienced in my visit to Newport, from all classes of Citizens.

The reflection on the days of difficulty and danger which are past is rendered the more sweet, from a consciousness that they are succeeded by days of uncommon prosperity and security. If we have wisdom to make the best use of the advantages with which we are now favored, we cannot fail, under the just administration of a good Government, to become a great and a happy people.

The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.

It would be inconsistent with the frankness of my character not to avow that I am pleased with your favorable opinion of my Administration, and fervent wishes for my felicity. May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. May the father of all mercies scatter light and not darkness in our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in his own due time and way everlastingly happy.

Go: Washington

This was the first time that the leader of a nation welcomed the Jews with equal rights as all other citizens without reservation.

Another unique example of American exceptionalism.

This is the ONLY tweet today, Independence Day, from a sitting member of Congress.

When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people.

This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.

This mush racism in hatred towards America from a Member of Congress on Independence Day should come with some sort of official reprimand.

At least he did not go on the floor. That should count for something.

And in moving news, we are down to painting the living room/Dining area. We are finishing papering & covering with plastic and then I will get the airless gun going. Having pop corn ceiling is nasty and than gun for the gun.

Oh yes, I almost forgot! I caught some nasty stomach virus who had me parked at the toilet most of the night. I am feeling weakly so I have to take breaks too often not including the literal runs to the bathroom. You figure after alll the evacuation done, I may have lost a pound or two but nope.

Oh well.

Happy Fourth of July and returning fire is contraindicated even if the dumb neighbor deserves i

There is no reason to study STEM anymore.

There is a good chance your career will be shit and you will be eclipsed by some “I fucking love science” social media attention whore.

‘I’m grateful for Richard Branson’s vision to democratize access to space’: Meet the Florida mom, 32, who has fulfilled her dream of becoming a citizen astronaut for Virgin Galactic – without a science or engineering background

The 32-year-old mother-of-one from Jupiter, Florida, is still in somewhat of a daze after being announced as a research specialist on an upcoming Virgin Galactic flight to conduct various experiments ahead of the company’s commercial flights coming into play.

Gerardi’s space obsession even stretched to her 2015 marriage to private equity specialist Steven Baumruk, where they walked down the aisle to the Imperial March from Star Wars with Storm Troopers in tow.

The wedding invites included a custom-designed mission patch by NASA patch artist Tim Gagnon and American Cosmonaut and Martian Sunrise cocktails were in free flow.

The couple went on to name their daughter Delta Victoria, or Delta-V for short as a ‘deeply geeky’ play to the delta-v symbol which is used in spacecraft flight dynamics.

Luckily, Delta, now aged three, shares her mom’s fascination with all things space she regularly makes appearances on Gerardi’s hugely successful TikTok channel, which has almost half a million fans.

With a background in communications, operations, and business development, Gerardi pursued her dream to work in space by applying these skills within the industry.

During her mission, she will be wearing a smart undershirt, developed by Canadian company Carré Technologies with the support of the Canadian Space Agency, which will be fitted with sensors to detect the biological effects of spaceflight on humans.

Another experiment Gerardi will carry out will look at how liquid behaves in a confined environment in microgravity.

She concludes: ‘Companies like Virgin Galactic are leading the way, not only by enabling a new generation of scientist-astronauts like myself to conduct research in space, but also by creating access opportunities for civilians of all disciplines: like poets, athletes, and musicians.

I actually made parts for Virgin Galactic but the payload specialist is going to be some TikTok influencer, married to a millionaire, because tits on social media are more important than technical knowledge.

This shit ruined the gun industry for me too.

Years of dedication to engineering, design, and testing and yet the industry focused on gun bunnies with hundreds of thousands of YouTube subscribers who figured out that running an AR while wearing skin tight pants was a great business model.

This shit makes me want to go all Gault.

There is a reason that when they poll kids today on what they want to do for a living YouTube star and influencer is at the top of the list.

Engineering takes real work. Showing your tits online while saying “I love space” gets you to the front of the line as an astronaut.

The endarkenment is coming because the West will be filled with people who want internet fame and few people who know how to keep the internet and electrical infrastructure operational.
