Right_Wing_Madman :" This was the IDF's primary objective in Rafah: to shut down the tunnels from Egypt, or Hamas's lifeline."

It sounds to me as though the IDF nneds to establish a buffer zone between Egypt and Hamas right at the border
and post out electronic hearing or esensing devices to determine if digging occurs in order to prevent additional tunnels being built.
We already know that the United Nations organization (UNRA) has been compromised, since many of the Hamas tunnels originate ore end within the UNRA buildings, with their consent.
Interesting that Hamas continues to be well fed and armed, while the general population is publicized as experiencing famine.

The courts in New York have just established a 'legal precedent' of unconstitutional law persecution
which will be overturned
It was a "Show Trial" of Marxist concocted and contorted drama which ignored Constitutional law and the Bill of Rights.

Right Wing Vegan :" Imagine the propaganda jackpot for climate change if this guy succeeded in getting firefighters entrapped and killed by the flames,
and arson had never been discovered."

Arson is a psycho-sexual crime; there is an almost 95% of a chance of recidivism unless the underlying provocation is addressed.
Most arsonists derive a sexual pleasure by starting and observing a fire.
The fact that so much damage occurred from three (3) separate fires that he admits to is significant in terms of firefighters salaries, expense, and damaged damaged property.
However this legal case totally ignores the threat to firefighters lives by setting fires behind active firefighters,
who could have been caught simultaneously between two active fire fronts
who could have been caught off from safe escape though backfires.
This would essentially be acting with depraved indifference to human life, and also should have been taken into account at the time of sentanceing.

Article Title :”George Floyd Biopic ‘Daddy Changed the World’ in the Works With His Daughter Executive Producing “
FReeper : https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4240086/posts

(From the FR article) :” A family-authorized George Floyd biopic titled “Daddy Changed the World” is in the works from Radar Pictures, 8 Queens Film & Media Productions
and Night Fox Entertainment.
Floyd’s daughter, Gianna Floyd, and her mother, Roxie Washington, are involved in the making of the film, serving as executive producers. “

”Gregory R. Anderson (“Stomp the Yard”) will write the screenplay for the movie, which will capture the life of the man whose murder in 2020
sparked a global racial reckoning and fueled the movement against police brutality.
The film is still in search for a director.
Ted Field serves as producer for Radar Pictures, alongside Dr. Kaeita Rankin for 8 Queens and Timothy Christian for Night Fox.

”The 46-year-old Floyd was killed on May 25, 2020, after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for more than nine minutes
while Floyd was handcuffed and forced to lie face-down on the street.
Floyd was arrested after allegedly attempting to use a counterfeit $20 bill at a store. “

Prepper Ping - The WEF Proposed Carbon Footprint is a means by which others control you, and your activities
It is truly the beginning of population control administered thru the hoax of "climate change"
This carbon footprint policy eliminates all 'free agency' by compulsion, intimidation, and coercion - we become state manipulated : "The BORG"

(From the article): " Total Control: Individual Carbon Footprint Trackers that will definitely be programmed to Central Bank Digital Currency’s.."

"“We're developing through technology an ability for consumers to measure their own carbon footprint. What does that mean?"
- That's where are they traveling.
- How are they traveling.
- What are they eating.
- What are they consuming on the platform.

"So individual carbon footprint tracker. Stay tuned.
We don't have it operational yet, but this is something that we're working on.”

Infectious Disease ping - Study suggests that another member of this family of viruses [ H5N1 influenza ] has evolved some degree of airborne transmissibility, at this point only a minimal capacity
“The study suggests that another member of this family of viruses has evolved some degree of airborne transmissibility “
“In March, the United States reported its first detection of the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in dairy cattle, with outbreaks spreading to nine states by May. “

(From the article) : “ New findings show that a strain of the H5N1 influenza virus has developed only a minimal capacity for airborne transmission.
In March, the United States reported its first detection of the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza in dairy cattle,
with outbreaks spreading to nine states by May.
The transmission method among cattle remains unclear.
However, a study published in Nature Communications revealed that a similar H5N1 strain, subtype clade 2.3.4.4b,
which previously caused an outbreak in farmed mink in 2022, was capable of airborne transmission to a small group of ferrets. “

”” This is the first time that a member of the group of H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b viruses has been shown to exhibit this ability.
According to the Penn State researchers who led the study, the findings suggest these viruses are evolving to infect mammals and with potentially increased risk to humans.”

”“While there is no evidence that the strain of H5N1 that is presently affecting dairy cattle is capable of airborne transmission,
our study suggests that another member of this family of viruses has evolved some degree of airborne transmissibility,” said Troy Sutton, associate professor of veterinary and biomedical sciences, Penn State, and corresponding author on the paper."
(Emphasis Mine)
“This finding underscores the importance of continued surveillance to monitor the evolution of these viruses and their spillover into other mammals, including humans.””

”Methodology of Virus Assessment According to the researchers, assessing a virus’s potential for airborne transmission in mammals could inform the understanding of its potential risk to humans.
Since virus samples could not be readily obtained after the outbreak in mink had been controlled,
the team reconstructed the virus using publicly available genetic sequences.”

”Next, the researchers evaluated the ability of the virus to transmit in ferrets, which have respiratory tracts that are more similar to humans
in their susceptibility to viral infection and transmission than other model organisms, such as mice.
The team measured both direct transmission of the virus by placing infected ferrets in cages with uninfected ferrets and indirect airborne transmission by placing infected and uninfected ferrets in cages that enabled shared airspace but prevented physical contact.
To assess disease severity, the team examined the ferrets’ weight loss and signs of clinical illness. “

”Findings on Virus Transmission The researchers found that the virus was transmitted by direct contact to 75% of exposed ferrets and by respiratory droplets to 37.5% of exposed ferrets after about nine days of exposure.
The team also found that the virus had a low infectious dose, meaning that even small amounts of virus caused an infection.”

Germany is proposing no driving on weekends in order to reduce CO2 emissions and meet their emissions agenda

(From the article) : " ..Personal automobiles, long a symbol of freedom and prosperity, especially in the United States, are coming under increasing attack,
as are the internal combustion engines which have historically propelled them.
Moreover, there is proposed legislation in the works to equip all vehicles with absolute speed governors, to make it easier for government entities to “spy” on drivers,
and to even simply shut off vehicles if Big Brother doesn’t care for the way you’re driving. Etc.
In many urban areas, car lanes are being pushed aside in favor of bike and foot paths.
The elderly, handicapped, and infirm? The hell with them, apparently."

"Ride your bike to work? No driving on the weekends?"

Remember the commercial song :" See the USA in your Chevrolet " ? It really wasn't all that long ago
That's what weekends are designed to do: relax from the work experience, enjoy activities with family, visit family elsewhere, go to religious activities, and renew family ties.
Weekend travel is essentially escapism from the same old work drudgery day in and day out, and allows for relaxation and happiness .
One would have thought that a lesson of the lock downs from the Covid social epidemic would have made government more responsive to the needs of the people.
I guess that's not true in Germany where this proposal is being made.
The government politicians may want the people to live in drudgery and monotony
What say you ?

“They are not stupid. They are evil. “

Tolerance Sucks Rocks :”They are an inversion of Hanlon's Razor, which says, "Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence."

The inversion, which is true today, is: "Never attribute to incompetence what can be adequately explained by malice."

(From the article):” Joining “Fox News Tonight,” Marc Morano, author of “The Great Reset: Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown”
outlined the slippery slope such an endeavor was careening down. “
“First they came for your energy. Then they came for your gas-powered cars, your freedom of movement, your cheap flights,” he contended. “Now they’re coming for your food.”

(My Opinon) : So says Mayor Adams of NYC, where you can't grow food in the concrete jungle.
It has to be transported into the city from farmland, or grown hydroponically which is energy, water resource, and human labor intensive.
Talk about hypocrisy from an elected politician, and being short-sighted and purposely ignorant !
He'd rather we all be 'vegans' and be fed plants, insects, and vitamin supplements rather than protein as Mother Nature and God provides.

“The lab tests (USDA) found that retail ground beef cooked to at least medium − meat with an internal temperature of 145 degrees − was safe.
Grilling bird flu-infected burgers at medium killed the H5N1 avian influenza.
In patties cooked at lower temperatures, including juicy medium-rare ones that clocked in at 120 degrees,
the virus remained present in small amounts, federal health officials announced at a news conference Thursday."

”Overall, officials emphasized beef is safe if you heat it sufficiently on the grill.
Nationally representative samples of beef, officials said, did not appear to show traces of the virus.”

Prepper ping – Alert, but not a warning, about the bird flu and beef consumption
“The beef industry is undeniably under attack,” whether it is a concern or not is up to the consumer
The WEF (World Economic Forum) wants you to eat insects rather than meat as your primary protein source

(From the article):”Cases of bird flu found in cattle are minimal, and diagnosed cases in humans are rare.
But everyone from the CDC to the FDA are using mainstream corporate media to spread fear among consumers.”

”Mainstream media has been covering bird flu incessantly for weeks.
It has been compared to COVID-19 and even the Bubonic plague with talking head “doctors” practically declaring it to be the next pandemic. “

”Whether their concern is real or part of an election year operation is debatable, but what has become crystal clear is that Americans are viewing the sudden bird flu attention from government agencies as a reason to stock up on long-term storage beef. “

“The beef industry is undeniably under attack,” said JD Rucker, CEO of Prepper All-Naturals.
“Whatever risk, if any, that bird flu poses to cattle and thereby to beef-eating humans, it’s being amplified 10 times or more.”

Prepper Ping - As a Nation , we are now a debtor nation and its only getting worse
We have to control the current administrations spending, or risk insolvency in the near future
We can't even keep up with the interest payments, alone, much less reducing the principle debt

(From the article):”Interest payments on the ballooning national debt have now for the first time exceeded every other individual item in the budget except Social Security.
Debt interest through the first seven months of this fiscal year has just topped $500 billion, reports the U.S. Treasury
— about $4,000 for every household in the country. “

“Repeat: This is just the interest. (Emphasis mine)
Think of the national debt as an interest-only mortgage.
Or, better still, as a negative amortization loan, where the bill just keeps getting bigger year after year.”

”That interest bill was bigger than the entire Medicare budget
— a “mere” $465 billion
— through the same seven months.
It was even bigger than everything we spent on national defense.”

(From the article): “In response to the decreasing market for EVs, Ford has begun cutting orders from its battery supplies, according to Bloomberg.”

”Even though this changeup will be beneficial in the long run, Ford will not come out of its EV experiment unscathed.
Sources told Bloomberg that Ford lost over $100,000 per EV in the first quarter of 2024, more than double its deficit from last year. “ (Emphasis mine)

”The news comes as the EV market across the country has taken a hit in 2024.
The Associated Press reported last month that sales of electric vehicles only grew at 3.3 percent during the first quarter of this year,
a sharp decrease from the 47 percent growth seen last year. “

”The EV share of total U.S. sales also fell year over year from 7.6 percent to 7.15 percent in the first quarter.
The declining sales numbers support some automakers’ belief that they moved too aggressively in expanding their EV production, the AP reported.
Given the state of the EV market, Ford is trying to reinvent its EV strategy.
The American automaker has decided to reduce its spending on battery-powered models by $12 billion, Bloomberg reported.”

”Ford’s already forecast it will lose up to $5.5 billion from EVs alone this year. “

”Bloomberg reported that Ford CEO Jim Farley recently said Ford’s EV division, known as Model e, “is the main drag on the whole company right now.”

She is still getting paid at the government largess trough
See what she has said about Medicare and its future

(From the article):” Inflation at the wholesale level rose much more than expected in April,
the latest sign that price pressures within the economy remain elevated and difficult to tame."

”The Labor Department said Tuesday that its producer price index, which measures inflation at the wholesale level before it reaches consumers,
rose 0.5% in April from the previous month.
On an annual basis, prices remain up 2.2% — the highest level since April 2023.

While the monthly gain is notably higher than the 0.2% increase forecast by LSEG economists, the headline figure is in line with expectations.”

”HIGH INFLATION IS COSTING AMERICANS AN EXTRA $1K A MONTH “(Hot Link)

”High inflation has created severe financial pressures for most U.S. households, which are forced to pay more for basics like rent, groceries and gasoline.
Price hikes are particularly devastating for lower-income Americans, because they tend to spend more of their already-stretched paycheck
on necessities and therefore have less flexibility to save money. “
