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.

Yes, I disavow your claim of "black supremacy". IMV, that is a projection that fits with your other far right wing opinions. Your sources do not reference the terminology. Have you coined this language yourself?

Pretty ignorant and disrespectful to all the victims of black supremacy in the last few years.  Tell the families of the Dancing Grannies who were mowed down by Darrel Brooks that black supremacy isn't a problem.  Tell the business owners who had their entire livelihoods destroyed by the Alt Left black supremacist hate group BLM.  

Your bigotry is evident, most likely a disciple of Robin D'Angelo's modern day Mein Kampf, 

Thankfully as a Floridian we have leadership that still believes in American values, equality, and respect for the rule of law.

House passed the Born Alive bill but 210 Democrats voted against this.  This just shows how far the Democratic party has fallen in regards to human rights.  

How can anyone vote against health care for victims of failed abortions?  Do these people have no compassion for life?  

"Abortion survivors cheered the passage of a measure that will require the immediate medical attention of babies who are born alive after failed abortion attempts.

The House of Representatives passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act by a vote of 220-210 Wednesday, with all 210 "no" votes coming from Democrats. The measure states that any infant born alive following an abortion attempt or that survives the abortion is a "legal person for all purposes under the laws of the United States." Doctors and healthcare workers would have to keep the child alive as a "reasonably diligent and conscientious healthcare practitioner would render to any other child born alive." 

A child born at an abortion clinic that does not have adequate care facilities would be responsible for transporting the child to a hospital.  "

This is a lunatic fantasy.  Either one has an abortion or one has a baby.  You can't have both at the same time.  Once again, more proof that this poster is not a nurse.  If a fetus is born live, one is delivering a baby.  Even if such a fantasy procedure were possible, it couldn't  be  done in an outpatient facility since it would be a c-section.  Stupid laws by stupid people.  Once again, making silly laws is a lot easier than actually governing.

Don't expect logic here ... remember, this is the guy who dismissed the children killed in school shootings as insignificant because there are so few of them. Apparently, like many in the forced pregnancy movement, the tender concern for life stops at birth.

Forced pregnancy?  I guarantee you there are more forced abortions exponentially than the forced pregnancy nonsense.

Even replying to that poster's drivel was my mistake.  I must make another alteration in my settings again:)
