“We’re All Gonna Die”

New York Times Cowers From It’s Own Reporting On The California Wildfires

by

What a difference a couple of years and a new President make in how the New York Times  reports on the California fire situation.  The New York Times, in several articles, predicted those very ‘self-same’ fires to which Donald Trump recently observed that California’s broken Fire Management System bore some responsibility.  For nearly 2 1/2 years the NYT pointed out (credit where credit is due) that California was tinderbox waiting for a spark and that the ‘fuel load’ was incomprehensible.  And yet, let Trump point out the obvious, the same point made by the newspaper for years, they fact-check Trump and say, “it’s complicated.”  This is why “FakeNews” claims resonate with any thinking person that stays moderately informed  and has  even a bare minimum of critical thinking ability.

Any reasonably fair news organization would have written something to the effect that Gov. Brown and his Liberal Green California Democrats and their politically correct policy decisions bear some responsibility for the conflagration and should own it.  Wouldn’t the same logic that says Donald Trump is responsible for the deaths of 2 Illegal Immigrant children because “he’s President, and it’s his policies” that make it more difficult for Illegals to sneak in, also then, apply to Gov. Brown, his policies, and his crew for every one of the more than 76 deaths from the Camp Fire and the rest.

Here’s a few of the stories featured in the New York Times about the inevitability of catastrophic fires in California.

Public Service Announcement – Know Your Parasites

by

It’s especially important during this ‘extended Government Partial Shutdown’ that Media Publishers, large and small, pick up the slack left by an idle government and do their part to continue to inform the American public about the perils of parasite infestations wherever they might occur. Today’s PSA covers the Greater Washington D.C. and Beltway area. Be vigilant.  And be safe out there!

Europe – The Final Days

by

Who is left to defend Great Britain and the Continent?  According to The Telegraph, the British Army thinks that the only defenders left may be  “snowflakes, binge gamers and ‘me, me, me millennials’ in new recruitment drive.”  So when the ‘enemy horde’ is at the gates, our savior is to be a WOW (World of Warcraft) top gun?  Well, I for one, feel a whole lot safer knowing that a selfie-addicted, snowflake, binge-gamer is keeping me safe at night.

The new recruitment advertising campaign, titled ‘Your Army Needs You’, launches on January 3 with a series of adverts on TV and the internet as well as billboard posters.

The three adverts tell the stories of individuals whose perceived weaknesses are seen as strengths by the Army.

Potential recruits are shown at home or work, with others calling out their stereotypes, before the scene changes to depict them in the Army performing roles where their potential is recognised.

Charge Of The Snowboy Brigade

“Charge of the Snowboy Brigade”

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Snow
Rode the three snowboys.
“Forward, the Snow Brigade!
Charge for the trees!” he said.
Into the valley of Snow
Rode the three snowboys,
And their trusty snow bears.

The Charge of the Light Brigade
By Alfred, Lord Tennyson

I
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” he said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
