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.

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?

How is pointing out the fact that a free and fair democracy in Ukraine was overthrown in 2014 considered to be "Pro-Russian Propaganda"?  What is wrong with siding with Russia and pointing out the issues regarding American imperialism?  What we have done in countries like Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, and other nations needs to be criticized.  This is why Trump was such a breath of fresh air having a pacificist in office after seeing the atrocities committed by Obama and Bush.

I just find it unsettling to see healthcare professionals with obvious bigoted xenophobic viewpoints.  People with hate in their hearts can change and sometimes it takes a voice of reason to spur that change.

I wouldn't say a breath of fresh air. More like the stench of rotting flesh.

You at least have to admit he was much better than Bush, Obama, and Biden.  It was nice having someone free of corruption in office for once.

Huh? How is viewing Putin xenophobic? Were you a big fan of the massacre in Bucha? Do you think it's just a coincidence that his rivals just fall out of windows to their death?

No, I don't have to admit that at all.

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.  

Trump is, arguably, many things but a "civil rights icon" is a stretch. The fellow encouraged police to handle citizens roughly, reversed transgender health rights and sneered at the Civil rights act of 1964. His human rights legacy is worse.  

But somehow that gets translated into "civil rights icon" in the delusional MAGA world.

That was sarcasm, right?  Either that or you need to do some review.

Deep down in the conspiracy theory rabbit hole I see.  Russia denied involvement in whatever went on in Bucha and regarding Putin's rivals do you also believe the Clinton's are out killing their rivals?  You might be more comfortable on 4chan.

Reversing "Transgender" health rights is a step in the right direction.  The government should not encourage mental illness and gender dysphoria.  Health insurance companies should not have to foot the bill for elective cosmetic treatments and dangerous hormones.  

Civil rights icon as in breaking down barriers in the corporate world for African Americans and handing out loans to African Americans in the 70s when systemic racism actually existed.

It was definitely a relief after seeing Obama push alt left conspiracy theories, create racial division, and promote violence against police.

In regards to Trump and the civil rights act how did he sneer it?  Is this more fake news like people twisting him asking for justice for the Central Park victim into some form of imaginary racism?

Joe Biden showing his racist tendencies to Asians now.  Xenophon in Chief.

It's incredible how successful Asians succeed in this nation considering the marginalization of the community through bigoted policies like Affirmative Action.  The Left just hates to see minorities succeed in this nation as it kills their false and extremely racist narratives regarding things like white "privilege".

More propaganda about Ukraine and Russia. Trump isn't a pacifist, he's a bully and an easy mark for someone like Putin.
