Hit by Hotel Collapse Disaster
Posted By: PageTurner, 7/13/2021 8:48:00 PM
Chinese diplomats have drawn extra attention to the ongoing rescue work at the site of a fatal hotel collapse in eastern China on Monday, after having taken to Twitter to ridicule U.S. efforts in Florida less than one week ago. Authorities in the city of Suzhou, in coastal Jiangsu province, said more than 600 people were taking part in the search for survivors at Siji Kaiyuan Hotel, where nine people remain missing in the ruins of an adjoining three-story building. At a press conference on Tuesday, provincial officials said

Texas's Democrat legislators, who dramatically fled the state to prevent a quorum on a vote for a voter-integrity law, had it all worked out beforehand that they'd be hailed as heroes for democracy.
They planned a flight together, got on together, and then were to fly as a group to Washington to plead their case and make their stand as champions of claimed "voting rights," as the media would fawn.
But somehow, things didn't quite gone as planned. They've actually become people the public is laughing at. They didn't quite get every detail for the heroic narrative right.

In what looks like a confluence from hell, the Democratic National Committee plans to police your SMS messages for "misinformation" about COVID vaccines. It sounds like a bad joke, or a right-wing conspiracy theory. But nope, it's right there in Politico:
The White House has decided to hit back harder on misinformation and scare tactics after Republican lawmakers and conservative activists pledged to fight the administrationâs stated plans to go âdoor-to-doorâ to increase vaccination rates. The pushback will include directly calling out social media platforms and conservative news shows that promote such tactics.

Several people reportedly taking selfies near a historical fort in northern India were among 76 killed by lightning strikes during the early stages of the annual monsoon season, officials said Monday.
Deadly lightning strikes are common in the vast Asian nation during the June-September deluge, which bring respite from the summer heat across the northern Indian plains.
Of the 76 killed, at least 23 people died in the mostly desert state of Rajasthan, including a dozen who were watching the storm cross Jaipur city from watch towers near the famous 12th-century Amer Fort late Sunday, a state disaster department official told AFP.

Democrats, even the crazy ones such as Stacey Abrams, have backed away from their call for zero photo I.D. in order to vote. Their argument that black people are incapable of getting I.D. is essentially racist. More important, from their point of view, the voters are squarely are not in their tree. Voter I.D. is a common sense measure practiced in all civilized countries and voter polls support it. They still want to win in 2022, so they've moved away from that stance like a bad smell from a backed up sewer.
But Kamala Harris
Like all blue-city mayors, Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles has been a colossal, miserable, failure. So when Joe Biden announced yesterday that he was appointing Garcetti ambassador to India, it wasn't surprising to see huge cheers of 'good riddance,' not just from the right, but the radical left, too: [Snip for tweets, et al] But the appointment is a weird one, given that Garcetti is a top Democrat, a co-chair of Biden's re-election committee, a member of his vice-presidential selection committee, and chief of his inaugural ball. He also has well-known presidential ambitions of his own.
More than six months after the events at the U.S. Capitol that led to the shooting death of protester Ashli Babbitt, the officer who killed her remains a secret as carefully guarded as any in Washington, D.C. Why?
Real Clear Investigations reporter Paul Sperry â who has been trying for months to learn the name of the U.S. Capitol Police officer who pulled the trigger â reported that a name surfaced, inadvertently, at a February House hearing.
Sperry uncovered a transcript and reviewed the C-SPAN video from the hearing.

As Kamala Harris sinks into the sludge of her own incompetence, Breitbart News has noticed an interesting coincidence rolling around in the press.
The establishment media additionally wrote Friday, â2024 is the elephant in the room. ⌠While Biden aides overwhelmingly believe heâll be the Democratic nominee, they also know heâd be 81 when seeking re-election.â
But âmany Democrats, including some current senior administration officials, are concerned she [Harris] could not defeat whomever the Republican Party puts up â even if it were Donald Trump.â

Vogue, the world's fashion bible, has placed Jill Biden on her cover as the epitome of fashion. She's a "goddess," they explain.
Which is a stretch, given that the first lady has sported getups like this loud red zebra print dress, or these huge-print patterned pantyhose worn with elfin spike heel ankle boots.
It goes to show that its whole schtick is politics, not fashion. After all, the big fashion bible for the world's stylish somehow managed to overlook the nation's truly stylish first lady, Melania Trump, a former super-model, who not only was quite beautiful, but age-appropriate and elegant in her four years as first lady.
Violent crimes are soaring in places like New York City. The left has called for defunding the police, and as leftist politicians bow down to them, police are retiring in droves.
What does the queen of the far left have to say now that the news is getting out?
All that far-left socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez can offer is: Don't be hysterical.
According to Fox News:
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D, N.Y., has expressed concern that recent headlines referring to spikes in crime across U.S. cities are stirring up "hysteria."
Kamala Harris has been in politics for 18 years, yet still can't quite figure out how to keep staff.
The departure of two top travel advance-women, just as she's heading for the border in a hastily announced trip to get there before President Trump does, suggests that things are getting very bad indeed.
According to a softly cushioned report in the New York Times:
Two top aides who oversee travel for Vice President Kamala Harris are departing, leaving the vice president with her critical support staff in flux as she seeks to ramp up travel ahead of big vaccine and voting rights pushes she is planning through July.

Kamala Harris is going to the border.
But not just any part of the border. The destination of choice for Biden's migrant-surge czar in her quest to find all those "root causes" of illegal migration from Central America is ... El Paso.
One problem: It's not the destination of choice for Central America's illegal border crossers. Some do cross there, but most of those apprehended by the lawmen in El Paso come from someplace else.
Here's the Border Patrol's statistics for 2021 on who's crossing in its El Paso corridor.

The governor of Texas has described state Democrats who fled to Washington DC to prevent a vote as 'quitters' who were 'un-Texan' in running from a fight, and said they will be arrested on their return.At least 58 Democrats left Austin to avoid the vote on election bills, touching down in Washington D.C. on Monday evening in two private jets - chartered at a cost of $100,000. They have fled to prevent a vote on two bills which would add new identification requirements for mail voting; ban some early voting options; and create new criminal penalties for breaking election code, while empowering partisan poll watchers.
For those who see the Hand of God in extraordinary natural phenomena, a lightning strike in Toledo, Ohio is being seen as divine retribution. Others call it karma. Witnesses reported that lightning struck a George Floyd memorial mural, not only burning the artistic expression, but collapsing the brick wall on which it was painted. (snip) plenty of people are laughing at the symbolism, while others piously bemoan their sentiments and/or denounce them, as racists.
There are plenty of people calling it an act of God or divine retribution for idolizing a career criminal and drug addict.

Everything is bigger in Texas, including the egregious miscarriages of justice.

And when her lawyers sounded the alarm — the judge doubled down.” Islamic law, Sharia, taking precedence over U.S. law — in Texas? Celebrate diversity! CORRECTION*

Mr. Rivera agreed on Twitter that this situation was âabsolutely insaneâ and issued the crackdown demand.(Snip)Tuesdayâs call to bar employment, shopping and schooling to the unvaccinated is not Mr. Riveraâs first demand for draconian state measures against those who do not take the COVID-19 shots.

On July 17, 1996, TWA Flight 800, a Paris-bound 747 out of JFK, blew up off the coast of Long Island. It seemed somehow fitting that James Kallstrom, the public face of the FBI investigation into the plane's destruction, would die two weeks before the 25th anniversary. As a patriot, a Vietnam vet, and an outspoken critic of all things Clinton, Kallstrom once held promise as the insider most likely to come clean. He never did. (snip) I can say with 100 percent confidence that missile fire destroyed TWA Flight 800. I can say with 95 percent confidence that the U.S. Navy fired those missiles.
A Chicago rapper was gunned down in a hail of bullets moments after he walked out of jail and had been fitted for an ankle bracelet, reports said. When 31-year-old Londre Sylvester left Cook County Jail just before 9 p.m. Saturday, gunmen got out of two parked cars and shot him 64 times, according to a police report obtained by the Chicago Tribune. Two women were also injured in the ambush â a 60-year old woman whoâd just posted Sylvesterâs bond and a 35-year-old woman who worked at the jail, CWBChicago said. Sylvester rapped locally as KTS Dre and had tattooed KTS on his neck alongside a
Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), said on Monday that his organization had confirmed that President Joe Biden âwas a direct beneficiaryâ of Hunter Bidenâs financial deals with foreign interests.

Former President George W. Bush on Wednesday offered fresh criticism of the withdrawal of American and NATO troops from Afghanistan, as the U.S.-backed government in Kabul appears increasingly imperiled and Taliban fighters continue to make rapid gains across the country. Asked whether the drawdown was a mistake, Bush told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle in an interview: âI think it is, yeah. Because I think the consequences are going to be unbelievably bad and sad.â Bush, whose administration launched the U.S. military invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001, specifically cited the plight of Afghan women and girls whom he said could

For the first time in Chicago, some 911 calls for mental health emergencies wonât be answered by police officers but by mental health professionals paired with paramedics.
In one pilot program starting this fall, a paramedic will be dispatched with a mental health clinician for âbehavioral health calls.â In another, a paramedic will work with a ârecovery specialistâ on calls involving substance abuse.
Mental health clinicians will be on hand at the 911 center to monitor situations (Snip) Before the pilots begin, however, the city will staff two ambulances each with a police officer trained in crisis intervention, a paramedic and a mental health clinician.
