What caught your attention in the world today?

Published

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.

How can you not consider Zelensky a terrorist when you have a documented terrorist group holding a nation hostage?  By definition the man is a terrorist.  There are billions of dollars being funneled over there stolen from the hands of American citizens.  The United States just gave an audience to dictator Zelensky in arguably the most disgusting act since Obama praised the genocidal black supremacist, Nelson Mandela.  Does this not further prove the close ties between the Bidens and the terrorists holding Ukraine hostage?

As for your Yahoo News article..... ". 

Ukrainska Pravda

Ukrainska Pravda is a Ukrainian online newspaper founded by Georgiy Gongadze on 16 April 2000. Published mainly in Ukrainian with selected articles published in or translated to Russian and English, the newspaper is tailored for a general readership with an emphasis on the politics of Ukraine. Wikipedia"

You cannot crust Ukranian sources at this time as Zelensky has seized all news outlets and is using it for terorrist-state run propaganda.  Thankfully Putin is liberating the people and we only have 2 more years under Bidens "leadership" until Governor DeSantis takes office and cleans house.

Xenophobia offered up as acceptable Liberal American perspective 

Who exactly is indoctrinated enough to believe the 2014 coup in Ukraine was justified?

 

This makes me wonder why a nursing discussion board is targeted every year for this kind of right wing craziness.  Every year.  More during election cycles.  What other clubs and groups do they join to spread this pro-Russia propaganda?

I’m starting to think it’s practice - or market research - trying out the various propaganda schticks to see which one starts the most fights, maybe? Or just basic training, like skills lab in nursing school. At least they’ve stopped with the de-nazificaion fairy tale.

At least he's admitting his lies but says he's not a criminal.  My guess is it will blow over and people won't really care.

Ahh, I disagree. I think ppl care a great deal.  And also is he admitting his lies?? Things seem convoluted to me

At least he didn’t claim to be Native American and steal a job from a deserving minority.

Aaargh  I was gonna comment, but I just can’t. I’ll just sit here and stew a bit

It will blow over among republican voters for certain... they don't give two cares about having liars or conmen represent them in government. Character isn't important to the people who celebrate Trump.  We see that in abundance from MaybeeRN...

LOL

You believe that you've pointed out hypocrisy by using deflection, projection and trolling techniques. That's funny as hell. 

Ha ha! And deflected from their original deflection…?

It’s keeping me awake tho… thanks maybee, maybe IDK

The only thing countries will be giving to Africa is weapons to kill each other.  No one cares.  If they did Democrats could have given a few billion from that 1.7 trillion inflation creating bill.

Hunger is a global problem but it's African nations that seem to be on the verge of famine.  Climate change will make this worse in more places. 

Quote

According to the IPC's Acute Food Insecurity Scale, famine can be declared if:

At least one in five households faces an extreme lack of food

More than 30 percent of children under five are suffering from acute malnutrition 

At least two people out of every 10,000 are dying each day

At least our current president doesn't refer to these as "sh!thole countries" as the people die from starvation.

You commented, so I'm guessing you care.  If you don't then, if everyone thought the way you did then we would readily accept chaos, destruction, genocide, and might as well just kill one another.  But that's not the case, a lot of people care so don't make this into an if/then statement once again bashing democrats.  This is a global problem that we all should be concerned with because to stand by and do nothing makes us as humans culpable.

He might not refer to those nations as "shithole countries" but his longstanding history of racism against African Americans is pretty upsetting.  Referring to places as "racial jungles" is very disrespectful.  Its unfortunate that we went from a President who is arguably this generations most important civil rights icon to someone like Joe Biden.

No one cares about Africa.  We have mechanisms in place to prevent the genocides and famines.  NGOs and the UN.  But the UN and many NGOs are nothing more than grifting operations for self serving politicians.  The only one investing in Africa is China with their belt and road initiative which is nothing more than taking natural resources while leaving those countries indebted to China.  Many African countries are run by dictators who could care less about their people starving. How much of the 1.4 trillion went to Africa?
