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 about the Irish when they arrived.  Whites that were brought here under indentured servitude

You know exactly what I mean.

Who oppressed or marginalized those Irish in this country? That's right, they were marginalized by the bigoted caucasion men running the country.

Deflection as usual.  You asked and were told now your mad.  Using your logic slaves have no complaints because it was blacks enslaving blacks.

Nope, which is why I asking what you mean. Are you afraid to explain yourself? And what is your source of info on JFK? I am guessing it’s not first hand, but maybe you are afraid to let us know what you are basing your theories on. 

If you have to ask when your party has to try and buy votes with freebies and tax payer funds, then you are beyond help.

I guess I am beyond help if I don't speak non sequitur-ese. 

I ask a simple question, and you hurl back a feeble insult, because you can't defend your outlandish statements. 

As I have stated multiple times, I do not have a party. No matter how much wish, no matter how many times you insist, I do not belong to a political party.

I admit it: Like many liberals, I’m feeling a fair bit of MAGAfreude — taking some pleasure in the self-destruction of the American right.

There has, after all, never been a spectacle like the chaos we’ve seen in the House of Representatives this week. It had been a century since a speaker wasn’t chosen on the first ballot — and the last time that happened, there was an actual substantive dispute: Republican progressives (yes, they existed back then) demanded, and eventually received, procedural reforms that they hoped would favor their agenda.

This time, there has been no significant dispute about policy — Kevin McCarthy and his opponents agree on key policy issues like investigating Hunter Biden’s laptop and depriving the Internal Revenue Service of the resources it needs to go after wealthy tax cheats. Long after he tried to appease his opponents by surrendering his dignity, the voting went on.

They don't like the fact that black people are primarily responsible for the slave trade.  Slaves in America were sold into slavery by tribes in Africa.  The Jews were enslaved by Africans for centuries and you don't see them calling for reparations.

As for the Irish you are right, definitely a marginalized population at one point who overcame it.  NINA (No Irish Need Apply) was plastered over buildings for years.

Thomas Sowell just made an interesting video about the film Roots, arguably the most damaging film of all time for African Americans.

You really think those IRS agents are for wealthy tax cheats?   The ones with lawyers and accountants?  Look up Buffet and netjets and see how good of a deal he got.   You really need to enlighten yourselves beyond TikTok and The view.

I don’t look at TikTok or The View and I’m not sure why you think I do. Are those your go to sources?

Deflection? You should learn the meaning of that word. There was no time in this countries political history that caucasion men weren't in control. It's telling that you've chisen to use the defensive language and strategy of the racists. Maybe you just arent aware and are poorly informed about the tools used ny oppressors.

Yep...everyone gets blame except the caucasion racists in North America that helped build the southern US culture.

You are correct. I know little about what you base your posts and accusations on, as you routinely fail to offer any current references. 
You seem to be content with people flouting tax laws without fear of detection. The IRS has been severely understaffed for years, since the budget sequestration forced on the Obama administration by. GOP Congress.
