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.

What's sad about this is that they seemed poised to go after the working/middle class taxes and spending instead of trying to peer into the evasiveness that goes into tax cuts with Big Business and the elite.

There's lots of firearm violence in deep red states like mine.

I was a little shocked at NY.  I mean I'm happy but one would assume with news reports and all... Just goes to show when you zoom out with the lense...?

You still csnt come up with any scholarly discussion of "black supremacy" so you throw around obscure names and statements with no context or evidence to support your twisted view of black americans while minimizing the very real history of slavery, racism and long term oppression of blacks in America. 

I wonder...do you believe that "black supremacy" delusion gained traction among whites before or after blacks were allowed to vote?

It's funny that you think that republicans are the party of law and order. Like the notions of "family values", personal responsibility, or fiscal accountability, these are merely slogans for today's party of Trump. 

Yesssss TMB, thank you..... I'm trying to be good.  I don't want to get in my feels today, I don't want to get in my feels today....?

Maybe if men were more responsible and got vasectomies, bought and used a condom, waited for consent or simply kept their junk in their pants, women would be able truly to choose whether they will reproduce or not. To quote an old slogan, if men got pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.

As for so-called "abortion survivors" - I don't believe a word of it.

Losing humanity? Really? Forced pregnancy is slavery and condemns children to be born unwanted, to women who are statistically much less likely to be able to advance economically, if at all. Meanwhile, you lot are working hard to gut every social support program you can get your hands on: public schools, health care, access to food and shelter, income support, protection from abuse and exploitation. Your fake moralizing would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic.

I have my own theory about your real agenda, here, and it has nothing at all to do with the welfare of the babies you want to force on us.

HERONNN!  I'm Yours ??

Maybe you should just stick to trying to make factual statements rather than trying to troll these threads with right wing hyperbole and vitriol. 

 

? Loved This!

So you aren't even aware of what you are doing in these threads or are you trying to gaslight us? 

You are still struggling to find any support for your made up "black supremacy" and have apparently decided now to move onto the mythical "black privilege"... all in the pursuit of dismissing the brutal racism of the caucasians of our early history. 

I'm amused that white students lying on applications translates into some form of "black privilege" for the right wing extremist that diminishes the oppression of blacks in US history while admiring and defending Putin's brutal invasion of Ukraine. With logical leaps of that caliber it is no surprise that conspiracy theories are so popular among right wing groups. 

At this point, is this Weety Will's cousin?? ... I'm asking for a friend

Final death toll after Russians bomb apartments in Dnipro totals 44, including 5 children. Putin must feel so satisfied, but probably not as much as when he bombs schools and hospitals.

Hopefully the rumors of his advanced colon cancer are true and I wonder how much the Russian citizenry wants to replace him with someone who encouraging other countries to stop trading with the Russians.
