The case bears similarity to that of former nurse Niels Högel, who was handed a life sentence in 2019 after he was convicted of murdering 85 patients at two hospitals in northern Germany. He is believed to be the most prolific killer in Germany’s modern history.
I can think of a few in Germany who killed more.
The recent court decision striking down Florida’s open carry ban prompted Publix to issue a statement stating that it would not ban individuals who openly carry firearms from its stores. Even though other stores like Aldi issued statements saying that anyone seen open carrying in their stores would be asked to leave, Publix realized that such policies don’t reduce the number of firearms in their establishment, but only cause them to be concealed. Being that the left is all about emotion and not logic, this really pissed off the left.
In typical leftie fashion, the Tampa Bay Times immediately launched an op-ed that compares apples to bowling balls. See, Publix plainly states in their policy:
Publix follows all federal, state and local laws. In any instance where a customer creates a threatening, erratic or dangerous shopping experience — whether they are openly carrying a firearm or not — we will engage local law enforcement to protect our customers and associates.
But that isn’t good enough for the communists at the Times. So they immediately launched an imaginary Q&A, comparing various items against open carry. They compare bringing pets into the store (which is prohibited by health regulations), policies limiting the number of coupons you can redeem each day, and the Publix policy against cakes with any flag that isn’t the US Flag against cakes with the Mexican, Canadian, or the flag they really want- the Fag Flag against the policy of not prohibiting open carry.
They claim that the sight of guns bother some Publix customers, so Publix should ban open carry. Do you know what else bothers some Publix customers? Seeing men wearing dresses pulling their dicks out in the women’s restroom. I would bet that the Times wouldn’t like it if a business banned that.
I can’t wait for newspapers to eventually go the way of the telegram. They are nothing more than leftie propaganda. To quote Thomas Jefferson:
The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth
However, as he rightly points out, newspapers are preferable to tyrannical government:
The people are the only censors of their governors: and even their errors will tend to keep these to the true principles of their institution. To punish these errors too severely would be to suppress the only safeguard of the public liberty. The way to prevent these irregular interpositions of the people is to give them full information of their affairs through the channel of the public papers, & to contrive that those papers should penetrate the whole mass of the people. The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers & be capable of reading them.
However, newspapers have indeed become the propaganda arm of the communists. It is Social Media, and to a lesser extent, blogs that are informing the American public. The days of newspaper editors telling us what to think is long past. That’s why the media’s influence has faded to nearly zero- most people know that it is nothing more than slanted propaganda.
Many on the right AND the left are melting down because the MSM is reporting that Trump is letting the Qatar government build an airbase in Idaho. This is pure, 3D level bullshit.
First, it isn’t an operational base. It’s a training facility located within the US Air Force Base in Mountain Home, Idaho. That base has been used for decades as a training facility for US allies to train their pilots to fly aircraft that they have purchased from the US. Singapore was there before Qatar as the 428th Fighter Squadron, flying the F-15.
Second, this deal was made as a part of a purchase agreement that was signed eight years ago as a part of a $12 billion deal where Qatar paid for 36 F-15 fighters, with the option to double that number to 72 aircraft. The deal included the aircraft, weapons, maintenance support, spare parts, ground support equipment, and TRAINING on all of the above. This facility is part of the training for this equipment.
Stop freaking out. The US has done this for DECADES. There is nothing nefarious going on. Good Lord, you would think people would know by now that the MSM is lying.
The Chinese had a military parade. It wasn’t intended for the Chinese. How do you know? None of the items in the parade were numbered with Chinese letters or numbers.
Except when they do. Why is Statista, using the FBI’s numbers, reporting that there were 21,504 murderers in the US in 2023, but also reporting that there were 17,713 murder victims? Or is this just statista skewing the numbers?
EDITED TO ADD
It’s Statista lying. The FBI crime report shows a total of 19,402 homicides for the entire country in 2023. Note that homicide is a blanket statement that includes murder as a subset. There cannot be more murders than there are homicides, therefore the true number of murders (and by extension, murderers) is less than 19,402.
Yes, I know that one murder can be carried out by more than one murderer, but these would seem to me to be statistical anomalies that would be more than balanced out by the cases where one murderer killed more than one person.
The LA TImes (leftist media) is saying that the US is cruelly deporting a Mexican girl who will die without the medical care that she is receiving here. That’s odd, because we have been hearing for years how the US medical system is one of the worst in the world and how even Mexico has better health care. Which is it? Aren’t we doing her a favor by sending her to be cared for in Mexico?
The cold war ended more than 30 years ago. The propaganda channels of Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and Radio Free Asia are relics of that era. On top of it, the pro-US propaganda network of Al-Hurra is the one for the mideast and northern Africa since it was established in 2003. Those networks have been costing the US taxpayer almost a billion dollars a year. Trump is trying to rid this country of the colossal wastes of money like this one.
Instead, the press would have us weeping over the loss of jobs for middle eastern journalists.
Alhurra was part of Washington’s effort to shape public opinion in the Arab world through balanced, independent journalism.
The old saying is “accept the king’s coin and you become the king’s man.” The issue here is that the king isn’t the President. It isn’t Congress. No, the king is the faceless bureaucrats who actually run the government.
The web of money runs wide and deep.
Four students were injured in a school shooting in Dallas yesterday at Wilmer-Hutchins High School. It’s the second shooting in less than 12 months at this school. Here is what the MSM won’t mention: the school is 56% Black and 40% Hispanic, and of the 914 students, 675 (74%) were considered economically disadvantaged, while 26% of them don’t speak English, meaning that the student body has a significant illegal immigrant presence. There is a high likelihood of gang involvement. The school only has 18 white students.
Still, the MSM will make hay out of this being a “school shooting” even though this is clearly not the same kind of school shooting that we saw in Parkland or Nashville. The MSM is conflicted on this one, because even though the shooter isn’t a leftist tranny, he is probably a gang member, and it’s a coin toss if he is an illegal or not.
Police said the gun used in the shooting did not enter the building through “regular intake,” when the students enter the building in the morning through metal detectors and are subject to a bag search, proving once again that “gun free zones” don’t work.
There is a woman in Michigan who is claiming that her neighbor, who lives 250 feet away and established his own shooting range, has made her go deaf with gunshots and T:annerite explosions.
I kind of felt bad for her until I saw this sentence:
LaRoe said she found a shell casing in her yard and points to a piece of tape over a small round hole in a window
There is no way that a shell casing is going to be 100 yards from a shooting range. So I decided to do some math.
The Occupational and Health Administration says that any instant sound (as opposed to a continuous one) that is above 120 decibels can cause hearing loss. Thanks to the inverse square law, in order to damage her hearing from 250 feet away, the source sound would have to be somewhere around 180 decibels. That makes his shooting range even louder than a SpaceX launch, which varies between 145 and 161 decibels.
Hearing protection only reduces sound by about 15-30 db. If it was loud enough to deafen her from 100 yards away, the guy who owns the shooting range would be deaf as well, hearing protection or not.
She and the neighbors are trying to get Tannerite regulated like an explosive, claiming that it is no different than dynamite.
The press is filled with stories of people protesting Trump’s policies. If you believe the reports in the MSM, you would have to think that Florida is taking a huge financial hit because Canadians are angry with the US President. The problem is that this take is complete fabricated nonsense. This article in money wise is a great example. In it, the writer claims that Canadians are leaving en masse because of skyrocketing costs brought about by Trump’s tariffs. The cost increases haven’t even happened yet, but even once they do it won’t be that large of a hit. If you read on down the article, you hit the money quote:
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta found that an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports, 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports, and 10% tariffs on other countries could raise consumer prices on everyday retail purchases such as food and beverage items and general merchandise, covering about a quarter of the total consumption basket, by 0.81% to 1.63%, assuming the costs are fully passed to the consumer.
So the tariffs will increase costs by up to 1.63%? That is a fraction of the increase in costs brought about by the Biden inflation. Any costs that are causing people to flee have been going on for years. The media is lying. Again.
The same exact website in January was making the claim that Florida’s insurance rates were skyrocketing because of climate change, and this was the cause for Canadians leaving. Proving that the press hates Trump even more than climate change, less than three weeks later the boogieman had changed and it was no longer climate change, but President Trump that was causing insurance to increase.
The real culprit happened in 2021 when the 12 story Surfside condo collapsed, killing 98 people. The condo wasn’t being maintained, and seawater intrusion had corroded the steel supports. In response, the state of Florida instituted regulations and inspections to require condo buildings be repaired and properly maintained- especially of the buildings are over 3 stories or located near the beach. Nearly 90% of the 1.6 million condos in Florida are more than 30 years old, and most haven’t been inspected or repaired in that time, because the condo associations don’t want to spend the money to do so.
The new law requires associations to have sufficient reserves to cover major repairs and to conduct a survey of reserves every decade. Because of the law, older condos are facing hefty increases to association payments to fund the reserves and repair costs. Condo owners went to Tallahassee and demanded that the state set aside tax dollars to pay for those repairs. Those increased repair and insurance costs are hitting condos hard.
In 2024, Canadians buying vacation homes accounted for 25% of all home sales in Florida. This means that wealthy northerners and Canadians, who are overwhelmingly the owners of beachside condos and were members of condo associations that were voting against paying the costs of properly maintaining the buildings are selling as the cost of owning second homes in Florida is too high, especially when you take the falling value of the Canadian dollar into account.
Real estate agent Gatien Salaun, who owns a waterfront condo in Miami Beach, said what appears to be a recent reduction in average sale prices is largely just buyers negotiating with sellers to eat some of the costs.
“They are simply asking for price reductions that are commensurate with that exact amount that they will have to pay over the next 20 years, 30 years in assessments,” Salaun said. “And the sellers are somewhat stuck in terms of negotiating with the buyer or just paying for the cost themselves.”
Still, the real estate prices in Florida are as high as they are because the weak US dollar (see the price of gold) caused people from other nations, especially Canadians, to buy up a lot of prime US real estate to use as vacation homes. Now that the costs are being realized, they want to sell and leave. Good. Take a friend with you.
To the mainstream media- we are done with your lies.
