Monday Overnight Open Thread (7/18/22)

Quote I

"Things are going to break. We have an aging fleet that’s being run harder than it’s ever been run." Executive director of Texas Competitive Power Advocates Michele Richmond

Quote II

“You’re so handcuffed to do any work on these houses that a lot of these houses just sit there and crumble. Nobody wants to work on them because there’s not enough money to do the work and to turn a profit, so they just sit there.” John Denke, HBSS Homes Manager

Quote III

“Today is a victory for freedom of speech and religious beliefs. Flight attendants should have a voice and nobody should be able to retaliate against a flight attendant for engaging in protected speech against her union,Charlene Carter

Quote IV

“The real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in that food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began,” Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison

Quote V

We need sensible gun laws, not vigilante safety nets. Kris Brown, President of Brady United.org

We do have sensible gun laws. What you are calling for is elimination of all guns. Be honest you self-centered twat. There are also sensible Homicide laws on the books. That doesn't seem to be a deterrent. Perhaps a quick application of the death penalty.

Why do people detest politicians? This could be one of many reasons.

Tory MPs vote confidence in Boris Johnson's government - 10 days after ousting him

Conservatives united around the ousted PM after a bitter five-hour debate in which he was accused of presiding over corruption and a tolerance of sexual assault

Tory MPs tonight passed a motion of confidence in Boris Johnson’s government - 10 days after ousting him.

Shameless Conservatives united around the PM after a bitter five-hour debate - that heard claims of corruption and tolerance of sexual assault in government.

Of course they did. Federal prosecutors drop charges against Colbert team members arrested at Capitol

Federal prosecutors have declined to prosecute members of a production team associated with Stephen Colbert's late-night comedy show who were arrested last month on Capitol Hill.

A production team involved with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which airs on CBS, had been charged with unlawful entry had a court date set for this week after being arrested by Capitol Police while filming segments for cigar-smoking puppet Triumph the Insult Comic Dog handled by comedian Robert Smigel.

As I prepare this ONT I am seething with spite for Uncle Sam and his cronies.

Last week The ONT covered the US Armed forces forcing normal service members to shower with those who suffer mental illness. Now the Navy wants to shove vegan shit down their sailor's throats.

The congressional legislation, H.R. 7900, establishes a “Pilot Program on Research and Development of Plant-based Protein for the Navy.”

The bill stipulates that by March 1st, 2023, the Secretary of the Navy “shall establish and carry out a pilot program to offer plant-based protein options at forward operating bases for consumption by members of the Navy.” Plant-based protein options are defined as “edible vegan or vegetarian meat alternative products made using plant and other non-livestock-based proteins,” according to the bill.

I've never met Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI). But, I've always considered her a vile, hateful and downright Anti-Semitic. This accusation should come as no surprise.

Two men who held key positions at nonprofit groups that were found liable in a Hamas terror financing scheme helped organize campaign fundraising events for Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) in 2018.

The men, who organized events that were paid for by Tlaib's campaign, were associated with a network of nonprofit groups that were found liable by a federal jury in 2004 for financing the terrorist slaying of an American teenager, David Boim, at a bus stop in the West Bank in 1996. A federal judge ordered the three groups to pay Boim's parents a $156 million judgment for funding Hamas, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Mass Graves of 8,000 Concentration Camp Victims Discovered in Polish Forest

According to reports, around 17 tons of ashes were found in the two pits, which measure approximately 10 feet deep. The discovery was made by archaeologists and anthropologists with the IPN in Iłowo-Osada, in the Białuty Forest. Historians and experts have long known that the wooded area was the final resting place for many Polish victims of the German Army, but the exact location of the graves wasn’t known until now.

The institute’s archaeologists located traces of clothing, buttons and other items in the graves. Nothing of value was found, indicating the bodies were likely robbed before they were burned.

The Fabulous and I have a running joke. The only reason she married me was to shorten her last name. Glad she didn't read this: No woman should be changing her name after marriage in 2022

Jennifer Lopez has changed her last name following her wedding to Ben Affleck, apparently – and I am conflicted.

The singer, actress and all-round iconic goddess announced the change in the latest edition of her “On The JLo” newsletter, sent out to subscribers on Sunday (17 July).

“We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,” she said, revealing that the couple had married in Las Vegas. “We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight.”

I can’t help feeling a pang of conflict after hearing the news, because I’ve been clinging to the hope that marriage is becoming more progressive – at least where women are concerned. And I’m not alone.

According to recent data, the number of women choosing to include their birth names alongside their spouse’s surname after getting married is rising. The Deed Poll Office, a law firm that specialises in name changes, has released statistics showing that requests from newlyweds to keep their maiden names alongside their spouse’s surname (rather than change it completely) rose by 30 per cent between 2020 and 2021.

Conflicted? Oh get a grip Karen.

Do Black lives really matter? One black woman says "No."

Black Lives Matter activists attempted to turn a justified killing by police officers into a rallying cry for radical leftists, but one woman is speaking out against their lies.

According to Fox News, Arabella Foss-Yarbrough said a black man named Andrew “Tekle” Sundberg shot up her apartment in Minneapolis with her and her two children inside last Thursday night.

Minneapolis police reportedly responded to the attack and killed Sundberg. Foss-Yarborough said her family was nearly injured or killed during the attack, and she felt the police were justified in killing him to protect her family.

The rise and fall of the mobile home.

A recurring theme of this newsletter is the failure of prefabrication (building homes in factories instead of on-site) to revolutionize the housing industry. While it’s possible to build a successful construction business with prefabrication, it hasn’t swept away the old methods of building - building a home on-site remains the most common (and in most cases, the cheapest) way of building a house in the US. (Outside the US, prefabrication is often more popular, but it’s still not a low-cost method of building.) No one has yet managed to do for housing what Ford did for cars, or what Corning did for lightbulbs, or what Arkwright, Hargreaves, and Crompton did for cotton thread.

In a just and fair world, this living, breathing, walking piece of shit would face some type of severe penalty.

Four years before the world battled the rampant peril of COVID-19, officials at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases expressed concerns over what they called “gain-of-function” research in China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to documents received by Judicial Watch in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

The agency is headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has steadfastly denied that any “gain-of-function” research was supported by the agency. Gain-of-function research takes place when scientists take a virus that exists in nature and make it more powerful.

“The incredible disclosure of an FBI inquiry shows that Fauci and others involved in this scandal were being dishonest in dismissing the seriousness of questions about their cover-up of their funding of dangerous gain-of-function research in China,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said, according to Judicial Watch.

I barely know who she is. I really don't care who she is. But it is funny. Kylie Jenner full time media whore is also a climate criminal.

Records show that Kylie’s jet recently took a three-minute flight, which would have only been a 40-minute drive.

She's a small time criminal compared to this pompous asshole.

You should never meet your heroes. Or give them gifts, especially grumpy old rocker David Crosby.

Classic rocker David Crosby kicked a virtual hornets’ nest on Saturday when he complained about the quality of a portrait a fan shared on Twitter, calling it the “weirdest” painting of himself that he had ever seen.

Crosby — formerly of the folk rock group Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young — took things a step further, telling the artist not to give up his day job for a career in art.

“Hi @thedavidcrosby hope you are keeping well. Did a picture of you…. Thanks for the music,” the artist captioned his work.
