Posted By: Ribicon, 5/28/2022 7:34:58 PM
The Department of the Navy this week released its strategy for how it will deal with climate change and proceed toward the government’s goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. “Climate change is one of the most destabilizing forces of our time, exacerbating other national security concerns and posing serious readiness challenges,” Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro said in the introduction to the 32-page report. “Our naval and amphibious forces are in the crosshairs of the climate crisis and this strategy provides the framework to empower us to meaningfully reduce the threat of climate change.”(Snip)Del Toro also cited wildfires and droughts in the West,

COVID is here to stay, the country’s top infectious disease expert said Sunday. The persistence of the virus means yearly vaccine booster shots could be in store for everyone, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House chief medical adviser, told PIX 11 in an interview.
“We’re going to be dealing with this virus on a chronic basis,” Fauci said. “We really hope … it will reach a level low enough that it doesn’t disrupt us to the extent that it has over the past couple of years.” In recent weeks, COVID case numbers have been increasing nationwide.(Snip)All Americans can expect to get regular boosters in the future, according to Fauci,
COVID-19 is waning, but shopping for a Louis Vuitton bag, a Chanel suit or a pair of Gucci loafers increasingly means standing in line outside a boutique—and luxury brands have been conspicuously tight-lipped on why. Most elite labels leaned into “appointment shopping” during the height of the pandemic, citing the need for social distancing. But as the threat from the virus recedes, some including Cartier and Harry Winston continue to impose the new policy.
They also have failed to convince shoppers and experts alike of their reasoning—if they bother to explain themselves at all. Major brands including Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Cartier didn’t respond
A policeman who sexually harassed a female colleague by smelling her hair and rubbing his thighs in her presence over a ten year period has been sacked. Chief Inspector Paul Crouch, who served in the British Transport Police and was based in London, also told a colleague how he got sexually aroused when he was reading about the sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl. The cop also created a 'sexualised working environment' by putting pictures of famous women he found attractive on his wall. He kept a list of female colleagues he found attractive while working at Force Headquarters and claimed a recruitment process was unfair
Disgraced former Empire star and hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett is looking to relaunch his tattered Hollywood career with a directorial debut on the BET network. According to Variety, Smollett is trading in his court witness chair for a director’s chair as BET+ has picked up B-Boy Blues, the first film he has directed. The film is set to debut on the streaming service on June 9 as Pride Month kicks off.(Snip)The film follows a love affair between journalist Mitchell Crawford (Richardson) after he meets a bike messenger (Mackey) from Harlem. “Through our content slate, we are intentional about representing the fullness of the Black experience, including
A scientific analysis commissioned by the FBI shortly before agents went digging for buried treasure suggested that a huge quantity of gold could be below the surface, according to newly released government documents and photos that deepen the mystery of the 2018 excavation in remote western Pennsylvania. The report, by a geophysicist who performed microgravity testing at the site, hinted at an underground object with a mass of up to 9 tons and a density consistent with gold. The FBI used the consultant's work to obtain a warrant to seize the gold—if there was any to be found. The government has long claimed its dig was a bust.
Fresh Labour infighting broke out over trans issues today as the party chair contradicted a fellow MP on whether 'some women were born with penises'. In an interview this morning, frontbencher Anneliese Dodds was challenged over whether she agreed with Stella Creasy. 'Well, no, I don’t agree with her. Biological females obviously aren’t, of course there are also trans-women who have made the transition in their gender but sex is not the same as gender,' she told Sky News' Ridge on Sunday. 'But I would say that obviously I have a huge amount of respect for my colleague, Stella Creasey, she has done a huge amount of campaigning for women
Boris Johnson is set to announce the return of imperial measurements after the UK's break with the European Union. The Prime Minister could reportedly announce a consultation into how to further incorporate imperial measurements in Britain on Friday to coincide with the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Downing Street hopes the move could shore up support in Leave-voting areas after Conservative polling took a hit amid revelations about lockdown-busting parties at No 10, the Mirror reported. Pint glasses will also be adorned with a Crown for the first time in nearly 20 years after Ministers axed EU rules banning the patriotic symbol.
The National Rifle Association put on a concealed carry fashion show at its Houston fashion show where models displayed guns tucked into their underwear just four days after the Uvalde shooting.
Two women proudly showed off hand guns strapped to their chest area as they pulled up their shirts with big smiles on their faces.
Another blonde woman wearing a beige pencil skirt and an off-the-shoulder top gave a mischievous grin as she lifted up her shirt to reveal a black gun tucked tightly into a white lacey undergarment.
Other women wore their concealed weapons in less provocative places, such as under their armpits and stashed in fashionable purses.
Two years before the massacre at Robb Elementary School that left 19 fourth-graders and their two teachers dead, the Uvalde Police Department boasted online about having its own SWAT team.
The department posted a picture on Facebook of nine heavily armed officers with the caption “Meet Our SWAT Team.” The unit was making visits throughout the community that day “to familiarize themselves with layouts of our local schools and businesses,” according to the February 2020 post. But when terror came to the tiny Texas town, it’s not clear if tactical unit that seemingly trained for just such a moment turned out to respond, a law enforcement source said.
Blame it on Rio. Travelers passing through Brazil’s Santos Dumont Airport got an eyeful Friday when monitors throughout the building seemingly started showing pornographic films. French outlet Agence France-Presse reports that the the unexpected skin flicks played on advertising screens airport operators said are controlled by an independent agency. “The monitors in question will remain turned off in our airport network until the company responsible for them guarantees their security,” an airport official said. Rio.com says Santos Dumont Airport is the second-largest airport in Rio de Janeiro, is mostly used for domestic flights and hosts roughly 5 million passengers annually.
Thieves used power tools to break into a Brooklyn church, stole a $2 million, jewel-encrusted relic—and cut the head off a statue of an angel, cops said Sunday. The scoundrels entered St. Augustine’s Roman Catholic Church at 116 Sixth Avenue and used the tools to cut open an altar sometime between Thursday and Saturday, cops said.
Once inside, they took “a pure 18-karat gold tabernacle with jewels” that is believed to be from 1888 and worth about $2 million, cops said. The item was used to conduct the rites of sacrament of communion, police said. A statue of an angel also had its head callously removed, photos show.
A suspected serial killer already charged in six killings in the Kansas City and St. Louis areas has been charged with first-degree murder in a seventh death. Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced the new murder charge Friday against Perez Deshay Reed.(Snip)Authorities said Reed shot an unnamed man multiple times in the chest on September 12 in St Louis County. The victim survived but was left with a permanent disability, reported KMOV4. Many of the victims allegedly were female sex workers, or transgender people. They ranged in age from 16 to 49 years old.

Newly disclosed documents have revealed the United States government's plans in the event of a potential apocalypses—which include putting the kibosh on all civilian communications during wartime. The previously classified files, obtained by the NYU nonpartisan nonprofit the Brennan Center for Justice, detail wartime powers the president can enact in the case of a national emergency— such as a nuclear attack.(Snip)Several of the files, which were all penned during the administration of George W. Bush, detail a law that permits the president to take over or shut down communications networks in wartime. The policy, called the Communications Act, asserts that 'during the continuance of a war
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Don Lemon Tonight,” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) argued that it has been proven that if a shooter “has weapons of war, and has the unbelievable automatic weapon,” then a law-abiding citizen with a gun responding “doesn’t work.”
Jackson Lee said, “We have no universal background checks here in the United States or Texas. And so, right in my district, in the NRA convention, they were selling guns without background checks at the private gun shows. They don’t care about domestic abuse. They don’t care about intervention on violence, no laws. And they don’t have any red flag laws and they certainly have not banned assault
Vladimir Putin has reportedly been given warned he has just three to years to live as Russian intelligence sources become increasingly worried about their ailing leader.
An FSB officer described the Russian president's condition as a 'severe form of rapidly progressing cancer', as speculation ramped up that Putin was suffering with some form of serious illness amid the invasion of Ukraine.The spy explained the wartime leader has 'no more than two to three years' left and he is also losing his sight, reports the Mirror. News of the Russian leader's terminal illness emerged as part of a secret message
UVALDE, Texas— President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden are hoping to console a city stricken by grief and anger when they meet with families affected by the mass shooting at a Texas elementary school that killed 19 students and two teachers.The visit to Uvalde on Sunday is Biden’s second trip in as many weeks to comfort a community in mourning after staggering loss. On May 17, he was in Buffalo, New York, to meet with victims’ families and condemn white supremacy after a shooter espousing the racist “replacement theory” killed 10 Black people at a supermarket.
As I pumped about $70 worth of liquid gold into my tank in preparation for the three-day weekend established to memorialize three-day weekends, I noticed that the guy next to me put quadruple that into his.
His was attached to one of those ginormous RV things that always seem to be in front of me on the mountain passes of Colorado.
A friend has one of these. He says they get about six miles to the gallon. I think he’s got that reversed.
Those monstrosities are a pet peeve of mine,
Our betters in the World Economic Forum (WEF) gathered in Davos this week to decide what’s best for the planet and everyone on it (especially themselves). But Stéphane Bancel, CEO of Moderna, was sad. He was disappointed that the plebs don’t want his company’s revered COVID-19 vaccines.
“It’s sad to say, I’m in the process of throwing 30 million doses into the garbage, because nobody wants them,” lamented Bancel as he participated in a panel discussion. “We have a big demand problem.” Actually, that sounds like a big over-supply problem to me, but what do I know?
Bancel elaborated on the outreach efforts the pharma giant was making to “every country,”
On Saturday, Joe Biden spoke at his alma mater, the University of Delaware, for their 2022 graduation ceremony.The day before, he spoke at the U.S. Naval Academy and told some despicable lies. He claimed he had received an appointment to the Academy in 1965, when in fact he was graduating from the University of Delaware in 1965, so that couldn’t possibly be true. He also claimed that he didn’t go to the Academy but chose to go to Delaware instead because the Academy had “Staubach and Bellino” there.“I didn’t come to the Academy because I wanted to be a football star. And you had a guy named Staubach
President Joe Biden seems to have told a football fib during a speech Friday at the U.S. Naval Academy, claiming he was accepted to the vaunted military institution back in 1965, but declined because future NFL Hall of Fame Roger Staubach blocked his path to playing for the Midshipmen.Biden said he instead went to the University of Delaware, which is true. But he never played varsity football there, and there’s no evidence he ever declined a spot at Navy. The years don’t come close to matching up, either. It appears to be the latest example of Biden trying to fit in with a crowd of people he’s addressing by saying
Not one inch.
The GOP better not give up one single inch on gun freedom.
The Democrats are giddy. They were hoping that SCOTUS putting the kibosh on kid killing was going to save them from annihilation in November. That did not work – Americans were less interested in preserving a non-existent right to snuff out a life two minutes from crowning than in $6 gas. But this s*****g’s murder rampage in Texas has given them new hope, they think. All the GOP has to do is be spineless and stupid.
So, they’re feeling pretty confident.
Pelosi's husband arrested for DUI

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) husband, Paul Pelosi, was arrested late Saturday night for driving under the influence.
Paul Pelosi, 82, was booked in Napa County, California, for one count of driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol content level of 0.08 or higher, according to a booking record first reported by TMZ.
"The Speaker will not be commenting on this private matter which occurred while she was on the East Coast,” Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Speaker Pelosi, told the Washington Examiner.
Earlier this month Dinesh D’Souza and Salem Media released the much-anticipated movie “2000 Mules” on the 2020 presidential election heist. (snip) Gregg Phillips: "We have a few issues coming up that are more explosive than the (2000) Mules, that are more likely to divide this country even further. (snip)
There is irrefutable evidence. We’ve been involved in a major counterintelligence operation that’s very mature in this country, involving federal agencies and us. (snip) it’s going to make everybody forget everything about the mules, and it’s going to bring into question everything we think we know about these elections. Everything. I can say that with 100% certainty."
Pray for Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi is in serious trouble. And not the kind of trouble associated with such petty, earthly concerns like her party losing its majority in a humiliating and historic fashion this coming November. And with that loss, her loss of the speakership for the second time in a dozen years.
No, Nancy Pelosi has some serious trouble with the disposition of her soul. And she needs our prayers, even if she doesn't believe it herself.
Last week, her Archbishop, the aptly named Salvatore Cordileone, notified Pelosi that she should no longer present herself for the Holy Eucharist when attending Mass.

The destructive Marxist rot is so pervasive in Trans America that the republic might stand a better chance of survival in a scenario where China took over, and the commoners rose up and overthrew them. As is, our flag is the same, our institutions still have the same names (except those named for Confederate heroes, who also opposed centralized rule just as our Founders did), and the smiling opinion makers on TV still indicate their approval of everything agreeing with Right-think, so 90% of the population accepts things just as they are.
