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.

QuoteAccording 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.

Interesting. Media Bias Fact Check rated countercurrents.org left biased and mostly factual.

He isn't freezing bank accounts of peaceful protestors nor is he trying to disarm hunters of their weapons.
You obviously have a strong distaste for more masculine alpha males like Trump and Putin. This is obvious misandry,
"Alpha male" hardly describes Trump who, when not bragging is claiming victimhood. You obviously have a strong affinity for authoritarians and liars.
Trump is a weak man who was a weak president. His weakness makes the GOP weak.

It’s interesting, though, to see a psych NP spouting rehashed Tucker Carlson. I wonder if his private practice offers testicle tanning therapy.
I read recently that ole Tucker is a real hit on Russian state tv.
ETA: at least we’ve been spared the sight of a bare-chested trump on horseback. Poorly photoshopped NFTs don’t count …

U.S. lease sale off Alaska coast draws one bid
Quote(Reuters) -The U.S. government on Friday received just a single bid, from Hilcorp Alaska, for oil and gas drilling rights off the coast of Alaska the first federal auction in the region in more than five years.
The offer of nearly 1 million acres in the Cook Inlet was among the concessions to the oil and gas sector included in President Joe Biden's signature climate change law, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
Under the law, the Interior Department is required to hold the sale by Dec. 31. The agency had scrapped the Cook Inlet sale earlier this year before the IRA passed, citing a lack of industry interest.
QuoteThe federal government has held several oil and gas lease sales in the Cook Inlet since the 1970s, but no production has occurred in federal waters there to date. There are 14 active federal leases in Cook Inlet, all of which were purchased by Houston-based Hilcorp at the last federal auction in the region in 2017.
Operating oil and gas platforms in the area are all in state waters, but oil production has declined substantially since peaking in the 1970s.
The areas offered for leasing have the potential to produce 192.3 million barrels of oil and 301.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas, according to an Interior Department estimate.
Following Friday's sale, there will be a 90-day evaluation process to ensure the taxpayer fair market value before a lease is awarded.
Maybe they'll develop this lease...
18 hours ago, ZyzzFan said:On March 7th, Russia’s top parliamentarian dealing with the Ukrainian refugee influx into Russia — dealing, that is, with the people who have fled Ukraine as a result of U.S. President Barack Obama’s 2014 coup overthrowing Ukraine’s democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych — presented the first-ever comprehensive number of asylum-applicants from Ukraine who have received asylum there after that February 2014 coup. The Russian government had never before publicly provided a number, but does have an established system of processing refugees, including assignment of official refugee status, which “allows the recipient various social benefits, including unemployment compensation” and so each Ukrainian refugee has a file with the government.
As reported by Tass:
Russia has received more than 2,500,000 refugees since the outbreak of the conflict in eastern Ukriane, Yuri Vorobyov, Deputy Speaker of Russia’s Federation Council (upper house of parliament) and Chairman of the Committee for Public Support to Residents of Southeastern Ukraine, said on Tuesday.
“Europe has received 900,000 [refugees] and shuddered, while we have received over 2,500,000 refugees on our territory and continue to provide assistance,” he said opening the round table discussion “Russia-Donbass: New Cooperation Mechanisms.”
That coup, which generated these millions of refugees, had been planned by the U.S. White House since 2011, and culminated on 20 February 2014. Also on that day, hundreds of Crimeans who had been standing in Kiev with signs opposing the overthrow of the President for whom 75% of Crimeans had voted, were attacked by supporters of the coup (which was fronted by, and was propagandized as being, the “Maidan revolution” demanding ‘democracy’ in Ukraine, though the coup actually ended democracy there). These Crimeans immediately scrambled back into the eight buses that had taken them to Kiev and headed homeward, but the U.S.-government-backed Right Sector paramilitaries went in hot pursuit of the buses, and burnt some of them and massacred many of the demonstrators, outside of Kiev, in the town of Korsun. This became called “the Korsun Massacre”, and Crimeans in Crimea immediately started demonstrating in Crimea, for Crimea to become, once again, as it had been until 1954, part of Russia. Crimeans overwhelmingly favored Russia over the United States, and were terrified by the racist anti-Russian government that now ruled in Kiev. This fear wasn’t only because of the massacre, nor only because 75% of Crimeans had voted for the man whom Obama had overthrown, but also because Crimeans generally (and most Ukrainians who had voted for Yanukovych) knew well the intense racist hatred against pro-Russian Ukrainians by the Right Sector people, who had actually carried out the coup. A plebiscite was held in Crimea on 16 March 2014, and the vote to rejoin Russia was over 90%. U.S. President Obama then imposed economic sanctions against Russia for accepting Crimea back into Russia. These sanctions, and U.S. military aid to the new junta-government in Kiev, publicly renewed The West’s Cold War against Russia (which had actually continued secretly against Russia ever since the end of the Soviet Union in 1991; the Cold War had ended only on the Russian side).

What would be the fates of Tass reporters who laid out the true facts? Would it involve windows.? This bot is laughable.

Who knows. But, it should be noted that this article was published 7 March, 2017.

Ukrainians escaping Russian destruction of their country. Isn't it interesting how the aggressors are framed as altruistic and generous when it spoke about refugees from Russian violence?
