Eh, you can also go the other way from where the cruise ships dock to the Space Needle and it's not too bad. Beyond that though...


She's on the Victoria Nuland beauty plan.

If Kamala becomes President, she'll look like a Ringwraith by the end of her term.

btw while we are at victoria nuland there have been whispers she was behind the russia attack that killed 100+ people . If she mysteriously shows up dead or jumped off the 10th floor know that USA was behind the attack .

Dude, I can't even imagine trying to get through 200 pages of her insane babbling and word salad and how she speaks in circles and never says anything. She's like the Sammy Hagar of politics when he sings shit like, "Only time will tell if we stand the test of time".

Lol I can't even imagine what she'd call her book... "Time for me to do what I have been doing and that time is every day"

She will shut the fuck up if she wants her cushy seat in California back and she knows it.

Another CHAZ is forming. Seattle, this time, at Garfield Playfield, with a bunch of activists setting up tents for a long form protest.

Journalist visited the area and was assaulted by random black bloc goons.

Looks like a rainy weekend ahead for Seattle. Happy tenting!

Always see retards say this, no one in Israeli politics says this lmao.

Of course Jews who have been busy conquering Palestine and its neighbors for a century would never dare dream of such spoils. How utterly out of character for them to grasp at the planet as if they already own it while laboring under the farcically pathetic delusion that they are a master race whose blood god demands - besides plentiful blood sacrifices - that they restore their fabled homeland to its exact state of pre-fall glory.

Who could believe such a thing. Total conspiracy fevre dream. No people could be such genocidal bloodthirsty demons.

She's not doing anything actively that'd stress her that much, which implies its what she privy to know rather than what she's done herself that's got her fucked up. Really makes you wonder what that could be though. There's no shortage of candidates, even when you narrow it down to the sort of looming destructive shit that'd drive you to drink just by being in its proximity.

Didn't she spend her time in California also being useless and doing nothing much? She has to be a master of coasting by now.

They have no grand purpose, no specific niche to fill, and their work is undercutting native workers -because- they are illegal and therefore paid less.

Anything short of citizenship and they will be paid less.
Most work visas have restrictions that make swapping jobs jeopardize your ability to stay.
This is how "legal" H-1b's end up working for, at best, 66% of median skilled wages.

Of course Jews who have been busy conquering Palestine and its neighbors for a century

"Palestine" was a British creation, under British rule, and the British ceded partitions of that land to the modern "Palestinians" and "Israel".
Then the "Palestinians" attempted to genocide every Israeli, and got BTFOd.
Whatever Israel chooses to take from them is justified.
However many they kill is justified, as they continue, at 80% rates, to support genocide of Israelis.

Deal with it.

 

[Loose Goose]

They're desperate to keep Biden alive, they're resorting to draining Harris' life force.

Realistically (and probably better explanation), she's always looked like a ghoul, and the "before" pic is just filtered and caked-up to high heaven

Hilariously enough, the only people I've seen excited for that sacrifice are anti semitic non Jews. Actual Jews are mostly skeptical that it'll work out and it's going to be a huge debate for a long time. It's also amusing that you criticize one instance of animal sacrifice as plentiful blood sacrifices when Muslims sacrifice animals en masse to Allah every Eid and on every hajj. The rest is just hilarious cope, apparently wanting the West Bank is grasping the planet?

A Texas National Guardsman has been arrested for allegedly smuggling an illegal immigrant to the southern border after leading authorities on a high-speed chase in his government-issued vehicle

Specialist Savion Amari Donovan Johnson, who was deployed to the Eagle Pass crossing, was charged Sunday with evading arrest, smuggling of persons and unlawful carry of a weapon.

Johnson allegedly led a high-speed chase with cops in Brackettville, Texas, after the silver GMC SUV he was driving abruptly turned around at a Border Patrol checkpoint on Highway 674, Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe told NewsNation.

Reaching speeds of more than 100 miles per hour, bodycam and dashcam footage show Johnson being dragged out of the vehicle and arrested around 3:45 p.m. after leading officers on the 15-mile-long chase.

Coe said the Texas Department of Public Safety helped with the pursuit and used spike strips to stop the fleeing SUV.

The sheriff confirmed Johnson, 26, was a member of the Texas National Guard and was assigned to Operation Lone Star.

The soldier was allegedly promised $5,000-$6,000 to smuggle the illegal immigrant, according to the report.

“If the allegations are true, the accused is a traitor and criminal,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott said in a statement to the outlet.

“We have zero tolerance for Texans who violate laws that directly contradict the mission we are seeking to achieve.”

 

[The Ugly One]

What forcing them to consider how prior immigration is different to modern immigration does is they focus that knee-jerk reaction. Examples will be thought out. "We came to be farmers", "We came to make the railroads", "we came to work". And now you have the starting grasps on real arguments against illegals. They have no grand purpose, no specific niche to fill, and their work is undercutting native workers -because- they are illegal and therefore paid less.

The smart answer is, "Immigrants in the 19th century didn't get any form of welfare, and as a result, the majority of them returned to their home countries on their own because they couldn't become productive. Today, we're paying the world's poor to become a permanent underclass here, which burdens our society and incentivizes even more people who can't support themselves to come."

Now, boil that down to a sound byte. Keep in mind, you don't need to convince the politically literate on this, you need to convince Joe in Accounting.

You need to catch someone's attention, make them think its worth giving a shit about.

"19th century immigrants didn't get anything for free, and the ones who couldn't support themselves went home. Take away these migrants' free food, free apartments and free Amazon gift card, and we'll talk."

EDIT: I think it would be a massive PR coup for Trump to talk about making welfare for citizens only. I think most people have no idea how much free shit we shower illegal aliens with, and the weepy articles, "Behind Trump's hateful plan to deny undocumented migrants their welfare rights," would backfire.

"Illegals don't come here to work, they come here for welfare we give away without control." Cite examples like the paid rent in Chicago, free debit cars in NY, free drivers licenses in CA, and more.

Bird flu pandemic in future? EU warns of potential spread to humans due to 'lack of immune defense’
Alert follows confirmation of rare human case in Texas
Melissa Rudy By Melissa Rudy Fox News
Published April 3, 2024 5:45pm EDT

As avian influenza (bird flu) continues to spread among wild birds in the European Union, officials are warning of the potential for a future human pandemic.

On Wednesday, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued an alert noting that "transmission between bird and mammal species has been observed, particularly in fur animal farms, where outbreaks have been reported."

Although it is rare for infected birds to pass along the virus to humans, the agency warned that new strains could pose a danger in the future.

"These viruses continue to evolve globally, and with the migration of wild birds, new strains carrying potential mutations for mammalian adaptation could be selected," the alert stated.

"If avian A (H5N1) influenza viruses acquire the ability to spread efficiently among humans, large‐scale transmission could occur due to the lack of immune defenses against H5 viruses in humans."

In other words, humans don’t have immunity against bird flu — which means it could potentially spread quickly.

The flu has been found to spread between birds and mammals, the EFSA noted — "particularly in fur animal farms, where outbreaks have been reported."

To prevent the risk of a bird flu pandemic, the agency recommended taking steps to limit exposure and prevent the spread to mammals and humans.

"Key options for actions include enhancing surveillance targeting humans and animals, ensuring access to rapid diagnostics, promoting collaboration between animal and human sectors, and implementing preventive measures such as vaccination," the EFSA wrote.

"Effective communication to different involved target audiences should be emphasized, as well as strengthening veterinary infrastructure, enforcing biosecurity measures at farms, and reducing wildlife contact with domestic animals."

The agency also called for "careful planning of poultry and fur animal farming," particularly in locations with large numbers of waterfowl (aquatic birds like ducks and geese).

Human cases in the U.S.
On Monday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that a person in Texas tested positive for H5N1 bird flu.

"This person had exposure to dairy cattle in Texas presumed to be infected with HPAI A(H5N1) viruses," the CDC’s statement said.

"The patient reported eye redness (consistent with conjunctivitis), as their only symptom, and is recovering. The patient was told to isolate and is being treated with an antiviral drug for flu."

The CDC said this is the second case of a human testing positive for H5N1 in the U.S., after a previous case was observed in Colorado in 2022.

"This infection does not change the H5N1 bird flu human health risk assessment for the U.S. general public, which CDC considers to be low," it added.

"However, people with close or prolonged, unprotected exposures to infected birds or other animals (including livestock), or to environments contaminated by infected birds or other animals, are at greater risk of infection."

The CDC said it is "working with state health departments to continue to monitor workers who may have been in contact with infected or potentially infected birds/animals and test those people who develop symptoms."

Human symptoms can range from mild (e.g., eye infection, upper respiratory symptoms) to severe illness (e.g., pneumonia), according to the CDC.

Infectious diseases expert weighs in
Erica Susky, a Toronto-based medical microbiologist certified in infection control, said she believes there is generally "not a high risk" of human-to-human transmission, given that "the natural reservoir" of H5N1 and other strains of avian influenza is birds and not humans.

"Cases of H5N1 in humans usually occur in people who have had contact with birds (slaughter, de-feathering, butchering or preparing)," she told Fox News Digital.

While bird flu has a 60% fatality in humans, Susky noted, it rarely occurs.

"At present, it does not transmit readily from person to person," she said.

The primary concern involves the influenza virus, she said, which is "excellent at mutating and recombining."

"If there are repeated contacts between species that are the natural reservoir for one type of influenza viral strain — like birds and H5N1 — and humans, the chances of this novel strain adapting to spread in this different species increases," Susky told Fox News Digital.

"As there are more cases of H5N1, there are more chances for a crossover event into humans."

Some of the biggest sources of spread, Susky said, are industrial agriculture and modern cities, where a virus like influenza can pass readily through human and bird populations.

"Currently, birds share influenza strains less often with humans, though that can change — it is how past influenza pandemics have arisen," she said.

To prevent spread, Susky recommended practicing proper infection prevention techniques, which is important not only for bird flu, but also for seasonal influenza.

Those techniques include following proper and frequent hand hygiene before preparing food, eating or touching one’s face, and after using the washroom or coming in contact with animals.

Other mitigation strategies include receiving the annual influenza vaccine for those who qualify, and not going out among other people while feeling ill.

"The best way to minimize one’s risk of coming in contact with novel influenza strains is to avoid contact with birds and wild animals, if possible," Susky added.

Examples will be thought out. "We came to be farmers", "We came to make the railroads", "we came to work".

You’d think “we came here legally” would be the quick and obvious retort. The why is irrelevant.

maybe she's expected to participate in meetings and stuff
like there's a story I heard from Dan DiDio (then of DC) where there was some unlucky schmuck who was sent by DC to consult on Catwoman, and every meeting his job was to present a list of all the new problems with the way they were shitting up the Catwoman IP, then they summarily ignored every one and he had to do a new list for the next meeting
over and over and over

Biden White House close to finalizing menthol cigarette regulations despite broad opposition​

The Biden administration is preparing to soon finalize highly anticipated standards targeting menthol cigarettes despite heavy opposition from small business, civil rights, law enforcement and free market consumer groups.

The regulations, which would broadly ban the product, were first proposed by the Food and Drug Administration two years ago and have sparked a contentious debate between health advocates and civil liberties and business groups. The FDA has repeatedly missed target dates for finalizing the proposed ban, the latest of which was earlier this week.

"The FDA remains committed to issuing the tobacco product standards for menthol in cigarettes and characterizing flavors in cigars as expeditiously as possible; these rules have been submitted to the [Office of Management and Budget] for review, which is the final step in the rulemaking process," an FDA spokesperson told Fox News Digital. "As we’ve made clear, these product standards remain at the top of our priorities."

The spokesperson said the agency, which handed the regulations off to the White House Office of Management and Budget for final approval months ago, is limited from discussing the process further since the proposal remains pending. White House spokesperson Kelly Scully declined to comment, also noting the rulemaking process is ongoing.

But the Biden administration's continued delays in finalizing the regulations has caused angst among proponents of banning menthol cigarettes, many of whom have argued such an action is vital for achieving goals laid out in President Biden's "Cancer Moonshot" initiative. The administration was first expected to finalize the ban in August 2023, meaning its delays have stretched more than seven months.

"This continued inaction is a shocking deference to the tobacco industry, which has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to profit from products that result in death," said Karen Knudsen, the CEO of the American Cancer Society and its affiliate Cancer Action Network.

Opponents of the ban expressed optimism that their advocacy has resonated with White House officials, potentially prompting them to reconsider the ban. Associations representing convenience stores, police, consumers and minority groups have warned a ban on menthol cigarettes could foster a black market while punishing small business owners and minorities who are the largest consumers of the product.

According to OMB filings, the White House and FDA have convened a flurry of meetings on the proposal with a wide range of stakeholders, including proponents, such as the American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network and American Lung Association, and opponents, such as the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS), National Organization of Black Law Enforcement and National Action Network.

"The proposed ban would have the exact opposite results that proponents have championed," NACS said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "We hope that FDA is reconsidering its policy in light of the evidence that these types of bans simply don’t work."

"The proposed ban, while well-intentioned, could have had far-reaching economic consequences for convenience stores by cutting 30% of sales and the livelihoods of over 600,000 workers," said Javier Palomarez, the president and CEO of the U.S. Hispanic Business Council (USHBC).

NACS, USHBC and other opponents of the regulations have pointed to data from states that have banned menthol cigarettes, arguing such policies don't work.

According to NACS, the rule would lead to a reduction of $72,285 a year in non-tobacco sundry sales and $160,107 a year in tobacco product sales for the typical convenience store nationwide. The organization claims the convenience store industry could collectively lose $2.16 billion in sales because of the new regulations.

Groups representing minorities, like the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement and the nonprofit National Action Network, the latter which was founded by civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton, argue that banning menthol cigarettes while not restricting non-menthol cigarettes "puts a microscope on minority communities." They say it could increase the probability of negative interactions between police and minorities.

The National Organization of Black Law Enforcement, National Action Network, National Newspaper Publishers Association and civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump met with Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, FDA Commissioner Robert Califf and Domestic Policy Advisor Neera Tanden to discuss the proposal in November.

The FDA first issued the product standards to prohibit menthol as a characterizing flavor in cigarettes and prohibit all characterizing flavors other than tobacco in cigars in April 2022. The agency said the move would reduce disease and death from tobacco product use by reducing youth experimentation and addiction, while increasing the number of smokers that might quit.

Tobacco smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death nationwide, according to the FDA. In proposing the rules, the FDA cited its congressional authority to adopt tobacco product standards.

Imagine banning black people cigarettes during an election year.
