Kitchen fire extinguishers are important

Hot burning oil can catch a kitchen on fire fast.

This is why you should have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen that is rated for grease fires (ABC are best) but not next to your stove.

I have a First Alert Tundra that sits on the counter top next to the coffee maker.

I have a bigger ABC fire extinguisher that lives in the garage 10 feet from the kitchen, but the counter top one is there specifically for quick response to stove top fires.

Jews be prepared, the latest blood libel is spreading

Yesterday morning, Al-Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Aqleh was killed in a fire fight in Jenin.

The IDF was engaged in a raid on a refugee camp known for hiding Palestinian terrorists.

Abu Aqleh was covered the raid when she was shot in the head and killed.

It s unclear at the moment if she was shot by the IDF or Palestinians, an investigation is on going and the report from the Palestinian Forensic Institute said that the bullet was too damaged to be identified.

Now, let’s take a step back and cover some recent history.

This has been a particularly bloody Ramadan season in Israel.

There have been six terrorist attacks in Israel since the end of March, which have killed 19 Israelis.  Three Israelis were killed and three wounded in an axe attack just a few days ago.

This camp had been raided recently as suspects from a previous stabbing attack were hiding in the camp.

The raid that occurred today turned into a fire fight with armed Palestinians shooting at the IDF.

It was in the middle of this chaos that Abu Aqleh was killed.

Who killed her and if it was accidental are irrelevant, the narrative is that the Israelis murdered a Palestinian journalist in a war crime.

Al-Jazeera is pushing this, of course.  But so is the Palestinian cause of the US Congress and the US media.

 

 

#ShireenAbuAkleh is trending and overwhelmingly it’s people blaming Israel for “murdering” or “assassinating” her.

This is a blood libel.

Many of the Tweets are filled with antisemitism and anti-Zionist lies.

There are calls for revenge.

Her death is going to be a nexus around which antisemitic violence will precipitate.

The Jewish community is going to have to baton down the hatches and be prepared, because it’s going to get very ugly very quickly.

 

Can we stop with the tampon as hemorrhage stopper?

No and just to be sure emphatic NO!

I love this photo comparison:

And you can search other serious places and find pretty much the same response: Don’t use a frigging tampon to stop massive blood loss.

We need to reduce sentencing on convicts taking care of pedophiles.

Because I am way tired of reading stories like this:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) -An investigation by Metro Police into reported sexual abuse of a Nashville teenager between 2017 and 2018 resulted in the arrest of two educators and a Metro police officer.

Police say that five-year MNPD veteran Corey Redd surrendered at the Downtown Detention Center Wednesday afternoon. He was charged with one count of sexual battery for the allegedly inappropriately touching a then 13-year-old.

Police say the boy spent the night at Reed’s home in December 2017. Reed’s bond is set at $100,000.

According to police, 30-year-old MarVelous Brown was the band director at Joelton Middle School and allowed the teen to spend the night at his home in 2017 multiple times. He’s been charged with one count of aggravated rape, three counts of statutory rape, two counts of sexual battery, and one count of solicitation of a minor.

Until recently, police say that Brown was the band director at Fisk University. He is not currently in police custody. Police say that 25-year-old Derek Calvon Hill Jr. was charged with one count of aggravated rape for the alleged sexual assault of the teenager in 2017.

Hill is a current high school teacher at Kipp Academy and was arrested at the school today. His bond is set at $100,000.

Have them go through the legal system and if found guilty and incarcerated, they should be sent to prison among the other convicts, no solitary confinement for their safety.

Whatever happens, happens and whomever makes it happen should get a reduction in sentence or at least commissary privileges.

Once word get out you diddle a minor, you are going to pay the piper inside prison, I believe incidents like this will drop some.

Let’s do it for the Children!
