I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news. I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.
According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.
Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.
The arrested the guy the next day.
What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.
You are correct. This is one of those topics that doesn't deserve comment right now, but I thought we got off on the tangent of who disciplines whom.
Unbelievable....I can only laugh and shake my head....haha LOL

It certainly warrants comment which is why I brought it up. But it's one of those FYI things I'm keeping on my radar. There's not much to comment about.
I honestly don't know how congressional censure and discipline works. In the AOC case, no one knows anything, and the committee doesn't want anything out until January, and apparently it's coming from within not an outside law enforcement investigation (as in the Gaetz case, but even then they didn't comment except to say no comment) so why would Pelosi step in and defy that?
Over the weekend, Elon Musk called for the prosecution of Anthony S. Fauci, the leading infectious-disease expert in the Biden administration. “My pronouns are Prosecute/Fauci,” Musk tweeted. For Elon Musk, the "Triggering of the Libs" is the point, writes Greg Sargent in Opinions.
I've seen it on social media, in real life (a coworker told me "Let's Go Brandon"), and here in these forums. No offense is too vile, as long it triggers the libs...some of them admit it.
(Deflection so you don't have to: yeah but liberal trigger MAGAphiles too! In fact the word MAGAphile is designed to trigger)
The lead story on Fox is a story about a former Navy Seal transgendered woman, now man, that is detransitioning. Robby Starbuck is making the point that "His story was used as propaganda to allow trans people in the military and to popularize the issue. Now Chris is ready to expose the truth." Beck, even though he says he went on CNN and isn't a victim, is now anti-trans and feels victimized by CNN.
They also show a picture of him when he was a she speaking at an ACLU convention. So I'm not buying into the idea he was used by CNN and victim. He was an activist.
But Fox News wouldn't use him to promote the anti-trans agenda of Republicans now would they? This is the most important story in the world right now, it's not their propaganda machine kicking in.
You're right, he was on Fox today. Whatever their motive, I think his story deserves some attention. People thinking of transitioning should know there are those like him out there.
I don't take him to be saying he was a victim. He even specifically says he was not a victim. He was doing what he wanted at the time.
By being used, he says he was used to promote the transgender ideology. He doesn't seem to be "anti-trans", and I'm not aware of a "anti-trans agenda". But, maybe I don't know exactly what you mean by "anti-trans"?
A new surge of migrants, as Tweety mentioned. Mexico gave a police escort to a caravan of 20 buses full of migrants who were then dropped of in Juarez, across the river from El Paso.
"El Paso Deputy City Manager Mario D'Agostino was speaking to the City Council when he laid out the latest migrant figures. He said the city was seeing an average of 2,500 apprehensions daily. Over the weekend, the Border Patrol's El Paso Sector saw a daily average of more than 2,400 migrants."
I came across this on the City of El Paso website. If I understand correctly, living in an area of "economic devastation and extreme crime" doesnt qualfy one for asylum.
"The people crossing come from all parts of the world to escape economic devastation and extreme crime. The situation is dynamic. However, the main countries migrants are coming from today are Venezuela, Ecuador, El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Cuba. Though the numbers have been as high as 90% and as low as 50% from Venezuela, the number is currently holding at approximately 70%. The remainder of the migrants is from other countries including Ecuador, El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Cuba."
Migrants unexpectedly show up in Denver. Initially it was unknown where they came from but apparently they are from El Paso. El Paso, a "Dem Run City" with a Mexican American Mayor, is apparently asking for in-land areas to help out.
Yes, and and at least one shelter is in a recreation center that is now unusable by those who pay taxes for and count on it for their health and wellness.
Just the tip of the iceberg on how illegal immigrants to the area will effect daily lives of the citizens.

So with Fox it's a story that deserves attention. When CNN does it, it's to promote a trans agenda. Gotcha
He has an agenda above and beyond being visible to others wanting to detransition. They might be minority but not unheard of. They don't need a role model. But okay with me.
I'm not buying into the idea he was used to promote the agenda. He clearly was an activist. Now he's a different kind of activist.

You're saying the same thing in your first post, but the other way around. And, so far Fox has had a 5 minute, if that, interview vs CNN's hour and a half documentary.

I'm not trying to be a wise a, but what is his agenda?

A man transitioning that's a former Navy seal might have been worthy of a documentary 10 years ago. Many people have made documentaries while transitioning. Fox does their fair share of documentaries. So..
His agenda aligns well with conservatives wanting to stop youth from transitioning for one thing. Another is he said it was too easy to transitionin in the Army. Again only an opinion. People would not call this anti-trans but pro-chold welfare. As I suspect you would too.
Maybe he has no agenda and wanted to get it off his chest and then will go back to his life. But something made him want to go on Fox.
Sorry you missed the sarcasm in my first paragraph. I was parroting what you said.
A small Kansas county became a site of a significant pipeline failure last week as the Keystone Pipeline leaked an estimated 14,000 barrels of crude oil into a creek — the largest spill in its history. Now, officials are scrambling to clean up the mess made by the system, which stretches more than 2,600 miles from Canada to the U.S.

IDK, I guess "agenda" seems like a strange term. Like he or I benefit somehow from children being stopped from transitioning. It seems he has that belief based on his experiences that most of the rest of us don't have.
I simply believe there is such a thing as being too young to make such a decision. Also, I run into a fair amount of kids in my peds ER who are also seen at our Center for Gender Diversity. A large % of them also have a psych history. I feel like the psych issues should be handled before going down the road of gender reassignment.
I've also said I don't think I should have to conform to such silliness as referring to a person as "them or they", even though I usually do.
That doesn't mean I'm "anti-trans", or have an agenda. If someone is an adult, they can have at it. But don't expect special treatment from me.
