Another US land grab?

Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans on August 29, 2005. I remember it well, because that's my birthday ... which I share with then Senator John McCain. Of course we celebrated it differently. I was living in a homeless shelter and he was having cake with sitting President George W. Bush. The deliberate neglect of the people affected by it was mind-boggling. Help was turned away. Communication lines were cut. There was a concerted effort to clear the 9th ward. Frankly, that's what Asheville, NC reminds me of. It also reminds me of Lahaina, HI and East Palestine, OH. This lady, from Squirrel Tribe, has done a lot of work on the train derailment. Here's what she has to say about Asheville, and what reallygraceful has to say about what's going on in Georgia (again with the orange smoke!):

Israel goes crazy

I really try staying away from the news. Nobody listens to me anyway. But America *really* needs to back away from the psychos running the place.
This from Scott Creighton:

Right on Cue, Israel Bombs Large Apartment Complex in Lebanon Killing Hundreds of Innocent Civilians
(Bibi wanted all out war. Now he got it. And all they had to do was make up lies about rockets in kitchens and kill hundreds of civilians just so they could murder Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah. Hezbollah had, 2 days ago, signaled they would agree to a cease-fire with Israel a deal crafted by the U.S., Egypt and others. Israel ignored the offer, crafted lies about rockets in kitchens and then proceeded to murder the beloved leader of Hezbollah so there would be no cease-fire.)

Operation Secret Service Redemption

Interesting take by Scott Creighton of American Everyman (please donate if you can):
"The SS is putting out the message they must be praised for keeping this guy from shooting one shot at the president. Clearly that part of the manufactured narrative has to do with the Trump shooting in which we watch a SS sniper let that guy get off SIX SHOTS before popping him in the head. They also claim, with no evidence provided, the shooter was sitting around for 12 hours BEFORE Trump got there. How the hell did he know Trump's itinerary? Trump's people don't make that public. So how did he know enough in advance to even go to that town much less to go sit in the bushes for 12 hours. No answer there either. And now the SS says they just didn't bother looking in the bushes NEXT TO THE COURSE where Trump was playing. Just didn't bother. So, of course, congress is saying that means they need MORE MONEY to hire more useless agents, I guess. Yep. Paying off the SS for services rendered. That's how this shit works folks. Stop acting as if this ass-clown was there. He wasn't. It was completely fabricated. According to the stupid story, some rando citizen supposedly saw shooter leave the bushes, with no gun or anything in his hands, and for SOME REASON... rando citizen took a pic of his vehicle and told the cops where he was headed. What?!? Why?!? What made him stand out? That's how they explain how they knew who he was so early in the process and how they got their BOLO issued IMMEDIATELY after the supposed attempt on Trump's life. It's fucking stupid folks. Just plain stupid."
