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.

Oh look! Some more peaceful protest. Them far right MAGAphiles at their domestic terrorism again..... oh, wait.....

"We can tell now, early in this investigation, this was not the focus tonight just to damage the windows of three buildings and set a police car on fire," Schierbaum said. "The intent was to continue to do harm, and that did not happen."

The mayor later stated that this is an act of domestic terrorism.

I don't know what, specifically, the FDA's mission statement is but this sounds like something that should be coming from the CDC.  How dopey the FDA guys sound admitting they didn't know.  Discretion would be useful here.  It appears that eventhe FDA can't get good help anymore.

This is what happens when an administration gaslight an entire country by trying to convince the nation that the other party is "undermining our democracy". 

This is what happens when certain social unrest is condoned and even championed and promoted by a political party masquerading as the party of virtue and freedom. 

This is what happens when a political party condems but excludes some protest but hides and covers for the other. A group of unhinged thugs burn a city because their equally degenerate comrade was shot by police after he opened fire on them because he was mad about trees. 

The only thing surprising about this riot isn't the MSM downplaying the violence, but rather the charges brought against these criminals for domestic terrorism. Recent event would suggest that the Jan.6 protesters were the only persons that could be guilty of terrorism. I'm pretty sure that these neo-fascists were not magaphiles...

Yes! A pattern indeed. A pattern of fallacies, juxtaposition and hypocrisy 

Please no one respond. So anyway.

Enlighten yourself by understanding who signed the Kyoto Protocols and Paris Accords.  Then get back to us with some more of your wisdom.

Hahaha

Both the conservatives and liberals supported the Kyoto protocols and the Tory party worked to secure the Paris agreement.  Derp

Because Bidens approval ratings are in the toilet (because of his ineptitude) which of course reflects poorly on the Democrats running in the midterms. 
If it wasn't a problem for Democrat's why did the hide it?

You make it sound like the national Democratic Party got together over a weekend, and made the decision to not announce the discovery of these documents. My understanding is that aides and lawyers took a cautious approach, and wanted to avoid jumping to conclusions. I'll bet most Democrats did not even know about this before the election. 

I believe the President's approval ratings are higher than his predecessor's. 

From what I have been reading, the administration is cooperating fully with the investigation. No subpoenas or search warrants needed. And no claims of imaginary declassification.

Interesting Washington Post story: How a Hunter Biden conspiracy theory grew, from lone tweet to a big megaphone  follows the information trail.

 

 

Ha ha ha! Someone tweeted they were more concerned about Clarence's wife. 
 

I can never read the NYT articles and only a few of the Washington Post. I couldn't read this one but I do believe there are bot accounts that push information out into the foreground

And the people who committed violence were arrested.  What's your point?

Where is your evidence that anyone here would support violence in any form?  You are blathering again.
