This woman comes from a social class were nobody was ever forced to suffer the consequences of their actions and choices. Now reality is quite literally spitting in her face and the only thing she can do is complain about the lack of police or bystanders willing to help her.
I see these videos and I don’t feel a tiny ounce of pity.
I look at the voting record.
Did you vote Democrat?
Did you march with BLM.
Defund the police?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Then you literally CREATED the environment for this to happen to you.
Stop crying.
Police in New Zealand have executed a search warrant after a rainbow crossing on Auckland's Karangahape Road was painted white on Thursday.
The vandalism is being treated as a “hate crime”, with police continuing their search for the three people seen in the video.

You guys noticing how the time period where mainstream archaeologists say Humans first started making cities and fortresses keeps getting pushed back further and further?
This is incredible.
Researchers in Russia just found evidence of stone age military fortifications made by hunter-gatherers.
In some places, defensive forts might have preceded agriculture!
Here's an aerial view🧵
Well, it takes about 4-5 years to build a factory in the United States under the best circumstances; got to thank the EPA and all its little rules for a good chunk of that.
Oh, and you need coal to fire up the steel furnaces and the Democrats have been waging war on America's
The fact that we do not have enough conventional artillery to send Ukraine should be a wake up call. Most of the top 15 steel producers now are Chinese & we don’t have a single one. The US urgently needs a strategy to become a manufacturing superpower.
In case you were wondering what it was like to live in the late Roman Empire and watch Germanic tribes fighting each other before crossing the border have I got some good news for you.
War has broken out between Mexican Defense Forces and the Sinaloa Cartel in Culiacan in response to the arrest of El Chapo’s son.

This looks like a pretty strong sign that German government is about to ban the AfD, the largest opposition party in the country. This is likely to cause the biggest political crisis in Germany in decades.

Some people would view the destruction of a bridge, a human construct connecting two lands together, named after the writer of the Star Spangled Banner and built during America's Bicentennial in a city that once served as this nation's capital as an omen.

Seven cars alleged to have fallen into the water - with rescue efforts under way.
Have never seen anything like this before.
Funny after decades ignoring these drugs tearing apart the rural South, Appalachia and Midwest at best and mocking the people it was affecting at worst - remember the term "pillbillies"- now that it is affecting the children of the West Coast 'elite' it is a problem.
So incredibly sad- Susan Wojcicki’s 19 year old son died from a drug overdose at Cal after taking a drug that was potentially laced with fentanyl.
2mg of fentanyl (~10-15 grains of salt worth) is a lethal dose.
You know one of the things that kicked off the French Revolution was Turgot's failed agricultural reforms which lead to a wave of agricultural worker strikes and food riots called the Flour War; resulting in food shortages and food inflation.
This in turn led to a popular theory

About the only reason you would think of doing something like this is if you are afraid both the Suez Canal and the Horn of Africa are about to become hostile to your shipping.
Oh that has got to be some of the biggest cope ever. The backbone of the military recruitment has been Southern and Midwest Rural White populations and have been for a long time.
@jeetsidhu_
No. The military has always been a vehicle for social progress. Women. Blacks. Gays. Immigrants. All of it. Nothings changed in that regard. The problem w recruitment numbers is the young generation - Z - is numerically smaller. Dealing that w that was always going to hurt.
The US trained and equipped Iraqi Army failed to perform and collapsed. The US trained and equipped Afghan Army failed to perform and collapsed. The US trained and equipped South Vietnamese Army failed to perform and collapsed. Now the US trained and equipped Ukrainian Army is
The first several weeks of Ukraine’s counteroffensive have not been kind to its Western-trained troops. Now, the Ukrainian brigades have set aside U.S. fighting methods and reverted to tactics they know best.
Anybody else starting to get the feeling the gamer with 500+ hours in Hearts of Iron IV has a better grasp of military strategy and logistics then what passes for the general staff at the Pentagon?
There is no game plan. They thought the Russian sanctions would collapse the Russian economy. Instead they backfired and caused severe damage to the EU and US economies. They thought OPEC and especially the Saudis wouldn't cut production; but they did. They keep raiding the SPR
US oil reserves are now at their lowest level since 1985.
The decline of US reserves over the last 2 years is faster than any time in history, and it’s not even close.
Just last week, the US said they are delaying refilling reserves again due to “market conditions.”
Meanwhile,
There is one tank factory left in the United States and its located in Lima, Ohio. They are currently making about 10-15 tanks a month and that is with them refurbishing old hulls instead of building new tanks from scratch. The AbramsX ain't going to be available any time soon.
A lot of 'blue' and purple states tend to be a couple of very urban blue counties ruling over a proverbial sea of red rural counties. Illinois is a typical example of this so the sheriff revolt over Chicago's dictates is not a surprising development.

Show me a character who is supposed to be a 30 year old war veteran still acting like a rebellious teen and I will show you a hack writer.
Was reading a little on Arnold Toynbee the other day and one of the things mentioned is how Toynbee characterized the typical mental responses of people realizing that their civilization is in decline and heading towards collapse.
Old school aristocrats like Louis XIV would inscribe "Ultima Ratio Regum," which is Latin for "the last argument of kings", on the barrels of their cannons. Old military aristocracy mindset had much more in common with the modern working class mindset then with the modern middle
Texas installs fencing along NEW Mexico border.
Our barriers around El Paso forced the migrants crossing illegally to enter into New Mexico. They then entered into El Paso from there.
To end that, we are building a barrier on the New Mexico border.
This guy is treating OPEC's production cuts, which are effectively a form of economic warfare against America, as a political victory for Joe Biden. With geniuses like this running the country small wonder our nation is edging closer to collapse.
Genetics was quite literally invented by an Augustinian friar in a monastery. It seems being a self-proclaimed 'skeptic extraordinaire' is kryptonite to learning history.
I was reading about the collapse of the Byzantine Empire and came across mention of one Georgios Gemistos Plethon, a Greek scholar who lived in the last century of Byzantine rule.
This video tells you two things. One, the military's manpower situation is pretty dire. Two, they are afraid of instituting the draft with the country divided as is.
A new bill before Congress, the "Courage to Serve Act," would allow illegals to get citizenship with benefits as a reward for service in the US military.

I am beginning to sense the first signs of panic in the Beltway concerning both the American Empire's strategic situation and its domestic political situation.
Biden's "defense of democracy" in Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan is not delivering. His approach intensifies conflicts without resolving them, while entangling the United States within them. And it's playing into Trump's hands. My thoughts in

A town in Gretchen Whitmer's Michigan just announced that not only is not going to be enforcing red flag laws on gun and ammo purchases, it is also forming a militia outside the governor's control to safeguard these rights.
The news of Nippon Steel moving to acquire US Steel is an opportunity to post this important chart; and to remind ourselves that steel is the backbone of civilization, necessary for industrial production, essential to our daily life, and a sustaining element of military power.
I think the Democrats are about to have a few little problems in their ranks. A lot of these jobs being cut at major corporations right now exist mainly to serve as a patronage scheme for Democratic voting blocs. Unmarried women being one of the biggest.
I think a lot of people underestimate how much America's leadership has worked to suppress a lot of political, cultural and economic fault lines in Western Europe since the Second World War. As American power wanes those fault lines are going to reopen rather quickly.
@Tinkzorg
Defeat in Vietnam, start of the Drug Wars, failure of the Great Society programs, US dollar taken off the gold standard and the start of the petrodollar system. Pretty much this is when the American Empire began to decline.
Former President Obama quietly advised the White House over the past 5 months on its strategy to address AI, engaging behind the scenes with tech companies and holding Zoom meetings with White House aides at Biden’s request, aides to both men say.
So it turns out the EU is experiencing a gunpowder shortage because they relied on nitrocellulose for manufacturing gunpowder made from Chinese cotton imports which they in turn boycotted because of China's treatment of the Uyghurs without a replacement being available.
@grifter_expert
I don't think they have a plan or thought through the implications. They are just winging it and hoping the problem goes away eventually.
It is going to take a decade or more of work to fix both the US's shipbuilding industry and armaments industry of all the damage that's been done to it over 20-30 years.
Toynbee argued in that environment of civilizational decay people tend to gravitate towards one of four intellectual responses: archaism, futurism, escapism and transcendence. You can see this playing out on social media these days.
So I found out today there is this guy in Abu Dhabi named Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan who built a replica of a 1950s Dodge Power Wagon 64 times the size of the original truck. It is also a 4 bedroom mobile home and it is capable of moving under its own power.
The fact the Russian Army gets 2 152mm artillery shells for the price of one German 30mm autocannon round should probably be a wakeup call for the NATO defense industry.
The Russians pay half the amount for a 152mm shell compared to what the Germans pay for a 30mm ammo.
A while back, I wrote a post about Rheinmetall selling their Caracal 4x4 to the German government for over $600,000. Recently, I've been looking into the variations in ammunition
Did Abbott ever arrest BLM protesters for antiwhiteism? Is antisemitism the only hateful ideology not permitted in Texas? Are you legally allowed to hate some groups but not others?
I suspect a lot of people are getting real tired of the "Something bad happened to my parents/grandparents/ancestors. They had a tough life so therefore I should not be held accountable for my misdeeds" trend among public figures.
🇺🇸 America's Jewish Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas gets challenged on his open border policies.
You'll never guess what card he plays next.
It turns out that having the public school system relentlessly demonize your country as an illegitimate nation, politicians and celebrities' tearing down statues of your nation's historical figures while calling them evil incarnate, having Democratic Party leaders routinely
Apparently not taking care of your soldiers and telling everybody their nation is illegitimate along with demonizing past military and political figures has some bad consequences if you want to maintain an army.
Only 16% of Americans would volunteer to serve if a World War broke out and America was under threat of invasion
Only 6% would volunteer to serve if the US was involved in a World War
In the last 500 years the world has had the following countries currencies function as the world reserve currencies:
1. Portugal from roughly 1450–1530 AD
2. Spain from roughly 1530–1640 AD
3. Netherlands from roughly 1640–1720 AD
4. France from roughly 1720–1815 AD
5. Great
It only took around 30 years for Britain to go from having the undisputed World Reserve Currency to getting bailed out by the IMF.
Something to think about.
The level of ignorance here is really something. Large portions of Russia still don’t have indoor plumbing. They have fixed up a few cities to serve the oligarchs that have, through theft and corruption, bled the rest of the country and all of its resources dry. That is not

"Pentagon leaders recently issued guidance to troops on how to cope with inflation eating their paychecks. Army leaders suggested soldiers and their families consider going on food stamps or talk to an Army-provided financial adviser."

This is why city governments back before mass transit and the automobile tended to have a zero tolerance policy towards anybody they caught and made sure people knew about the offenders.
What is especially ironic about this is the United States got its start as industrial power because people like Francis Cabot Lowell stole the secrets of British industry and brought them to America after Britain banned the export of both artisans and machinery in the 18th

You know, I was reading the other day that Plato placed the end of Atlantis about 9,000 years before his time. That would have been around 9,400 BC. That is in the same time period as the Meltwater Pulse 1B that occurred at the end of the Younger Dryas which saw a sudden sea

You know how the Army is having trouble meeting its recruiting quotas, right? Well the people that are still joining up are both not the best and getting increasingly fed up with the situation in the Army.
They're trying to go the foreign legion/foederati route to fixing their manpower problem. Also they apparently have not read the up on either the fall of the Roman Empire or the Spanish Civil War; both of which would show this being a bad idea in the long run for them.
Senator Dick Durbin wants to make it possible for illegal immigrants to join the US military: "Do you know what the recruiting numbers are at the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force? They can't reach their quotas each month. They can't find enough people to join."

Time for its adversaries keep pushing, play the arsonist, make more Happenings.
Because the US Navy retired its long range attack aircraft at the end of the Cold War. If they want to attack targets in Yemen or Iran it means moving the carrier within range of Yemeni and Iranian anti-ship missile batteries.
Forget sanctioning the Houthis. Why hasn’t the US Navy leveled their military bases yet? And if Iran resupplies, destroy the Iranian navy too. You can’t let this two bit militia disrupt global trade. Enough already.
