They’re silent about a lot more than that. Cowards. Zero spine in most of them.
By Forcing Americans Into Electric Vehicles, Leftists Ensure Road Trips’ Demise
That did cross my mind. The DS people must be regular drivers on I-95. Most crowded highway I’ve been on…well, other than the Pennsylvania turnpike.
Trust in media is so low that half of Americans now believe that news organizations deliberately mislead them
I call this progress.
Why not a ‘He Gets Us’ campaign for traditional values?
‘Isn’t Fear News?’
No, it’s a base emotion used for control in the news by those who either don’t like us, or want to sell something.

A lot of immigrants did, though.

Excess size caused train to break down in days before it derailed in Ohio, employees say
Actually, after reading the article, it sounds like excess weight. It was too heavy. As someone who lives in a metro area where every American train line has a presence, getting stuck at a train crossing with a two mile long one happens. A lot. But, a lot of times those long dudes have a lot of empty coal cars or empty automobile carriers, and extra engines in the middle. 9,300 hundred feet is not quite two miles. Sounds like it was heavy.

Some of us who are close to rail lines AND major waterways in this nation are NOT happy. It could happen to any of us and not just hit the northeast, but a whole lot of farmland.
As a matter of history, the New River runs through Charleston, West Virginia, which is in a valley where EVERY major chemical company has a plant. That valley is called “chemical valley” for a reason. My dad claims that dead fish were a regular feature of the river in the late 1940s and 50s. By 1997, the last time my family was there to bury my grandmother, the New River had recovered, but it took decades. This will pass, but it’s going to take time.
Now we know why ObamaCare installed that massive online chart system. It’s handy for ER doctors who are dealing with drug addicts, but can be used for nefarious purposes.
In the comments, someone explained that this is a short spur of sorts, not a main line. From observation, the main lines are quite well maintained. The tracks themselves are not an issue.
I’d settle for potholes being filled. The streets in the city are a mess. Tell me again why we poured asphalt over the bricks that are still functioning fine on the back streets, side streets, and allies.
Uh-oh.
Getting that idea.
Damn straight I agree with her.
Easier said than done. It’s a side effect of the shot, and may not be related to any drug. And…long COVID is real. Really real.
Apparently, it’s only one car that didn’t turn over. But, still….
The people are working on it.
Reminder from yesterday on SIDS happening over 90% of the time the week after a vaccine:
And the discussion on putting babies on their backs to sleep…a relative of a relative lost a baby who spit up and aspirated the spit in the middle of the night. I will NEVER put a baby on his or her back again.

MEME STASH:
And now for the business portion of the post borrowed from Tuesday:
Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.
This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion. In that spirit, though, threats of violence real or hypothetical are out of bounds.
Fellow tree dweller the late Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
And Auntie DePat’s requests:
If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.
The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.

GENESIS 11:1-9
1Now the whole earth had one language and few words. 2And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 4Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” 5And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. 6And the LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9Therefore its name was called Ba’bel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
PSALMS 33:10-15
10The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nought; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. 11The counsel of the LORD stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. 12Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! 13The LORD looks down from heaven, he sees all the sons of men; 14from where he sits enthroned he looks forth on all the inhabitants of the earth, 15he who fashions the hearts of them all, and observes all their deeds.
MARK 8:34–9:1
8 34And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? 37For what can a man give in return for his life? 38For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” 9 1And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”
SATIRE!
Have a good weekend!
