Sailors didn’t know what to do in USS Bonhomme Richard fire, Navy probe finds

When a fire broke out aboard the amphibious assault ship USS Bonhomme Richard in July 2020, its sailors did not know how to react and its leaders didn’t take control, a Navy investigation found.

The 400-page report, officially released on Wednesday, found that 36 individuals, including the ship’s commander and five admirals, were responsible for numerous errors and breakdowns that followed after the vessel was purposely set on fire while it sat pier-side in San Diego.

“Although the fire was started by an act of arson, the ship was lost due to an inability to extinguish the fire,” the report said.

Once the blaze started, “the response effort was placed in the hands of inadequately trained and drilled personnel from a disparate set of uncoordinated organizations that had not fully exercised together and were unfamiliar with basic issues to include the roles and responsibilities of the various responding entities,” the document notes.

As I understand, a fire aboard ship is about the worst case scenario, on par with a breach in the hull, as something that can cause the total loss of a ship and hands at sea.

And this crew handled it in the worst way possible.

It is shockingly bad that a US Navy crew didn’t know how to handle a fire aboard ship.

But I bet that crew knew all about microagressions, white rage, and non-binary pronouns.

The ship may have been lost but at least nobody was offended.

Colorado teachers are TAPING masks to middle school children’s faces to stop kids from pulling them down in class

Teachers in a school district in Colorado are allegedly taping face masks to kids’ faces.

An investigation is underway after a sixth-grader from Chinook Trail Middle School sent a selfie to her mother with her mask taped to her face using blue painter’s tape.

Stephanie Butler, the young girl’s mother, told Fox21 she posted the photo on Friday to make other parents aware of the strict mask policy and to see if other students were ‘being taped’. The disturbing photo has since made its rounds on social media.

‘It’s a type of restraint to me,’ Butler told the news station. She said that her daughter explained that her teacher gave her one warning to keep the mask over her nose or she would have to tape it to keep it up.

The sixth-grader told her mom that the harsh mandate went into effect weeks ago and teachers have been enforcing it. ‘It’s a new thing, if we can’t keep our mask on our nose, we get taped,’ she wrote in a text message.

Furious parents blast ‘inhumane treatment’ after California school district told parents to send children in with ‘warm jackets’ as they would be forced to eat lunch in the rain because of Covid-19 restrictions

A California school district sparked a huge backlash after one of its schools sent an email to parents earlier earlier this week telling them their children would be forced eat lunch outside in the rain due to coronavirus restrictions.

The email from Patwin Elementary School notified parents that ‘students are required to eat outside’ and instructed families to send kids to school with ‘rain gear and warm jackets’.

Each one of these incidents, by themselves, are an obscenity.

Together they are a trend.

I know I keep bringing up Ordinary Men, but that phenomenon is everywhere today.

COVID restrictions are our invasion of Poland.

It is a situation that encourages ordinary people to release their inner monster.

Politicians, the media, and popular culture praise restrictions and promote hatred and discrimination against those who are are unmasked or unvaccinated.

Consequently, the weakest in our society, children, get the full brunt of this cruelty.

Masks are taped or tied to their faces and they are forced to sit outside in the rain to eat.

Teachers and administrators get to put themselves on the back for being good and loyalty government servants by making children suffer needlessly.

I’m glad there has been some pushback, but honestly, I hear the wall beckoning for teachers and administrators.

Reading this makes the Pinochet in me bubble to the surface and I have but one desire, to repay their cruelty in kind.

They revealed their monster to the world and that bell can never be unrung.

Anyone who tapes a mask to a child’s face or makes a kid sit in the rain to social distance deserves a date with the great grandson of Albert Pierrepoint to dance the Danny Deever.

Not a troll, not a parody account.

So much self deception that words escape me. Next thing he will probably say Gulags were just low security facilities which generated educative, healthy and productive citizens.

UPDATE: And I just found this one:

Nothing about Libyans actually having a shitty quality of life, nothing about political prosecutions, nothing about executions nothing about the 2 decades of financing, supporting and cuddling of every terrorist organization in the World and the killing of untold innocents. Nothing about that.

Oh yes, and nothing about the assassination of Egypt’s President Anwar Sadat.

The re-writing of history is proceeding at full speed and we will be excised from it as well if we let them.

I have no idea if she drove or not for that amount of time, but It is simply stupid to select a delivery that far or the restaurant to take an order like that. I will admit I do not know how those services work, but she should had just rejected that delivery, specially how much is gas going for.

The Oregon Court of Appeals on Wednesday reversed a lower court’s decision to throw out an age discrimination lawsuit against a gun retailer, declaring it illegal to deny gun sales to buyers between the ages of 18 and 20.

Brandy Dalbeck filed a $10,000 lawsuit against Bi-Mart in 2018 after the company’s Florence store refused to sell her a hunting rifle when she was 18.

Bi-Mart had announced that year it would no longer sell guns and ammunition to people under the age of 21. Companies like Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods made similar changes around the same time after 17 students and staff members were killed in a school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

Oregon appeals court rules it’s illegal to deny gun sales to buyers between 18 and 20 – oregonlive.com

Well done for the court, but understand that these were private companies creating a policy that went against the anti discrimination laws in the State.  It is not properly a Second Amendment case, but we will take it. Next, what Oregonians need to make sure is that no legislator decides to write a bill prohibiting 10-20 year-old from purchasing firearms.

In Wednesday’s opinion penned by Appeals Judge Erin C. Lagesen, the court said Oregon’s anti-discrimination law prohibits age discrimination against anyone 18 and older — except in instances explicitly allowed under separate laws.

If a law was in the books, the plaintiffs would have not stood a chance. Keep that in mind.

Next thing they are going to tell us is that he is actually doing great with the country’s economy and the price of gas.
