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.

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.

The complete silence about the headline.  A riot with people who were charged with domestic terrorism didn't "catch anyone's attention in the world today"?  So I guess you are right! There is zero evidence of anyone discussing this. When there is pages and pages of a riot that happened 3 years ago..... 

I'm sure if it was a riot on the other side, there would be an outcry of how our democracy is in jeopardy...

Yep.

It's so odd to me that this site is targeted regularly. 

It must feel odd to have people challenge your feelings about conservatives. Do not find much descent in these pages. 

Some more, probecita?

Sure. The person in question in Alanta that sparked the riots was protesting a police training facility when he open fired on police and was shot dead. 

Nothing like protecting living people by protesting a training facility to provide more tools and resources for police to use instead of deadly force.

Except..... the "protester" that was killed that caused the riot was violently attacking police because he was mad about some trees that were going to be removed to build the facility...... And something about "cop city" or other? Womp womp.

Quote

"Opponents of the training center have been protesting for over a year by building platforms in surrounding trees and camping out at the site.

They say the $90 million project, which would be built by the Atlanta Police Foundation, involves cutting down so many trees that it would be environmentally damaging. They also oppose spending so much money on a facility they say will be used to practice "urban warfare.""

The GBI said about 25 campsites were located and removed in Wednesday's raid, and mortar-style fireworks, edged weapons, pellet rifles, gas masks and a blow torch were recovered.

Not to mention all the funding taking away from police because of the "Summer of love riots".. 

How about training for citizens on how to act if being arrested as well? To behave and follow commands even if your "innocent ". Obviously parents have not been successfully able to educate their children in this regard. 

I would have to dive into the instances you quoted above, something tells me there were litigating circumstances in which contributed to the deaths caused by police.

You misunderstand my intention.  I meant that it was dumb even to post such a silly, obvious article.  Davos has been criticized for years for the twits that go there.  Somebody thinks their hypocricy is news?  

LOL, I understand your intention. I just thought it was completely unnecessary for you to tell me that posting the article was dumb. But I get that is how you roll.

Sure. Except Hunter is the son of the POTUS who is a know drug addict with shady dealings with China and the Ukrainian.  

The truth is no documents found at either POTUS properties matter all that much. 

The Trump documents were a fabricated "security breach" that was nothing. And attempt to find something after the failed Jan.6 committee. Now the democrats have to contend with their own political stunt. However there is the fact the Trump was the POTUS and had the authority to have documents declassified.  Biden was not and did not have that authority for the documents in his possession. In several unsecured locations. Trump at least were in one locations, locked up in accordance of instructions from the DOJ or dep of archives.  Under secret service guard non the less. 

Say goodbye to any charges against Trump now. When false ideologies fall in on themselves.... priceless.

So ... how would you approach the problem?

Well you could have gone first but OK.

One idea just off the top of my head would be for the Biden admin to actually use the monies allocated in the monstrously bills they created for "climate change" to be used for...well, climate change. But  I guess that is too hard for them to figure out.

Right? And democrats can't even state when a "fetus" is a life. Perhaps the answer lies with the "pregnant person" when a fetus is a life? You know, it's between them and their Healthcare provider?

"So that raises the question: When do Democrats believe life begins? At conception? At viability? At birth? After birth? They won't say. Even more disconcerting, reporters won't ask them. It's a dereliction of duty by the mainstream media not to push the question, and it's an abdication of their responsibility to inform the American people and spur legitimate debate.".

I am not exactly sure what your point is here but it was the Dems who defunded the police and then after crime spiked, and right before midterms called for re-funding the police. It is completely obvious that the Dems only are worried when it seems to work for them politically. They simply overlooked many antifa/ anti-racists riots that were hurting the same POC, among others, that they claim to care about, and of course the MSM assisted. No calls of insurrection when BLM and antifa were taking over police stations, state capitals, even parts of cities so much that residents could not even drive down streets etc. The republicans are also not responsible for the open southern border where literally millions of immigrants are crossing illegally while the Biden administration does nothing. These illegal immigrants are wreaking havoc in border towns while the people affected have zero rights and chance of any compensation. And this isn't even talking about the fentanyl and other drugs that are coming across killing and destroying lives and communities. What are the Dems and Biden-Harris doing about it? Nothing!! The Dems haven't done much, if anything, about crime for 2 years that they were fully in charge. They made it worse by their policies!! All they do is cry racism or cry about gun control after an incident occurs. (And not even close to the right type of gun control), all the while stoking division. Didn't Biden say he was going to unite the country?

Who needs a special prosecutor, you have all the answers! You seem quite familiar with security at Mar-a-Largo. Are they still letting foreign nationals wander about the grounds? Or white nationalists?

Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) said she will not support Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (Calif.) effort to deny Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, making matters more difficult for the GOP leader as he looks to follow through on his pledge to not seat the congresswoman on the panel.

Spartz also said she opposes McCarthy's vow to block Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) from the House Intelligence Committee.
