Hamas allows their people to be killed and take no responsibility. That is the UN's responsibility. They hide behind the Gazans as human shields, what cowards. Hamas allows their people to starve while they have plenty of food, but take no responsibility. That is the UN's responsibility. They are the worst of the worst in the world. US/Israel are trying to feed the people of Gaza and Hamas is doing what they can to prevent it. Because that will show just how horrible they treat their own people and how the US and Israel are trying to do good. How can anyone support them? You might ask yourself, why did the US and Israel take it upon themselves to feed the Gazans? What caused them to do this? The answer is that the food that was provided through the "normal" means was not getting to the people. Who's fault is that? Hamas' fault. mspart

That would be CHAZ, then CHOP. Capital Hill Autonomous Zone, Capital Hill Occupied Protest. Same place. Cops, and Fire personnel were not allowed. Ambulances were allowed to come to the "border". They did not allow any city anyone into the area or they would ambush the vehicle. They claimed they were outside the city, state, and country. They ran their own quasi government which of course fell apart as the bickering ate them up. Security was done by thugs and people were killed. Definitely the Summer of Love as the now disgraced Mayor of Seattle, Jennie Durkan, called it. She didn't even run for re-election. She was a lost cause. It was under her leadership that the CHAZ was allowed to trashe the police precinct i Capital Hill and then allowed them to "incorporate " as an autonomous zone. Another one of the left's great ideas. They ate themselves up in the end. It just fizzled out. I guess no one wanted to be secretary of State!! mspart

UB, advocating for hormone therapy for minors, which is giving the wrong hormones for the sex of the child to try to alter them, is child abuse and sexual abuse.

Kuala Lumpur. Was there for a total of about 2 months. It struck me that Chinese and Indian folks are in abundance in a Muslim country. So you will see, walking down the street, women in hot pants, tank tops and burkas. All living together and coexisting. And the burkas or robes the women wore were beautiful fabrics with vibrant colors. Not black, although there is some of that, but not the majority. I really liked it there and the food was fantastic! mspart

Twenty-three people were arrested overall following the skirmish in the park that was prompted by a pair of competing rallies. MayDay USA, which describes itself as a Christian Pro-Life organization, held the rally at the park. It was met by LGTBQ protesters in a competing rally. At some point, police were called in, and there were multiple scuffles between the group and officers. Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, in a statement, questioned why the “far-right rally” was held there, suggesting it was meant “to provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city’s values in the heart of Seattle’s most prominent LGBTQ+ neighborhood.” He also blamed “anarchists” who “infiltrated the counter-protestors group and inspired violence.” But on Monday, a Parks spokesperson suggested that MayDay USA asked for and received a permit to gather at Cal Anderson Park. “Seattle Parks and Recreation permits a variety of events and gatherings in Seattle’s public parks – including rallies, protests, and free speech events. We are required to enable the expression of free speech throughout the parks system. This group originally requested a permit through the Special Events Office with the Office of Economic Development for a street location, and their first request to Seattle Parks and Recreation was for Cal Anderson. As the park was available and met the size and logistical needs for the event requested, the permit was granted,” according to Rachel Schulkin of the department. The judge found probable cause on the arrest of the eight people, and only one, accused of assault and robbery, was forced to post a $20,000 bond. The others were released. The King County Prosecutor’s Office says there have been no felony recommendations forwarded to the office. The Seattle City Attorney could also make misdemeanor decisions. But as of this writing, no one has been charged with a crime. This is really funny. This article only says that the church applied for Cal Anderson park, which is untrue according to their own reporting by the very same reporter: https://komonews.com/news/local/mayday-usa-event-seattle-rally-counter-protest-cal-anderson-park-arrests-councilmember-bob-kettle-mistake-trans-transgender-lgbtq-abortion-rights-women Council member criticizes permit decision for Mayday USA event at Seattle park Chris Daniels,KOMONewsStaff Tue, May 27th 2025 at 3:20 PM Updated Tue, May 27th 2025 at 6:13 PM SEATTLE — Seattle City Councilmember Bob Kettle has called the city’s issuing of a permit for Cal Anderson Park to a right-wing organization a “mistake” following altercations at the park that resulted in 23 arrests on Saturday. Seattle’s Parks Department acknowledges the group "MayDay USA" was granted a permit to rally at the park after first being denied an application to gather in a small pedestrian space outside Pike Place Market. So they first applied for Pike Place Market but were denied that and they were given Cal Anderson Park. It was a total setup and not what was requested. As a result, Seattle is looking foolish at the least. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/arrests-made-at-heated-fascist-family-values-protest-in-seattle/ I highlighted the headline above to show that the Seattle Times has entered WAPO and NYT circles by projecting the behavior they obviously support onto the Christian group. Fascists don't ask for a permit. Fascists don't allow diverse opinions. Does this sound familiar to anyone? If your opinion differs, you are not worthy of consideration in D and progressive circles. You will be silenced. BLM, antifa, etc do not get permits for their rallys. They just go and do them. I was a ST paperboy way back when and always subscribed. I stopped some years ago because it was expensive and I was only reading the funnies and a few headlines. Now, there is no way I'm considering going back. I'll be writing to them to let them know, not that they will care. They will just call me a fascist. mspart

That sounds good as long as no internet or phones are involved. I don't drink beer or eat pizza, but I get the gist. mspart

Got smoke tubes. Now need to smoke some cheese. We have family coming in August and will be ready for them. By the way, I smoked a huge brisket for Mother's Day and it was really pretty good. Used Hickory instead of Mesquite. Hickory would be flavorful but I found that it is not so much in comparison. We have a lot leftover, we will be eating some tonight. mspart

In a place in nature with no internet, no phone, no electronic anything. That would be a pretty good day. mspart

Agreed. But event occurred in the CHAZ/CHOP area of Capital Hill in Seattle. They are the most radical of all the neighborhoods in Seattle so I'm guessing most of the residents around there sided with Antifa on this one. A church wanted to hold a public prayer service and general meeting rally at Pike Place Market. The city said, do it at Cal Anderson park. The church said no, but the city would not give the permit to hold the event unless it was at Cal Anderson park in Capital Hill. So they held it there. Of course, somehow (?) Antifa found out and were ready with projectiles and balloons of urine. Police arrested those that were committing assault. Unsurprisingly, all of those offenders were black clothed with black masks on. The church folks did not retaliate in kind. Then the Mayor of Seattle has the audacity to say the church group was at fault for asking to hold the rally at Cal Anderson park. Update is the church is holding a protest at City Hall today at 5:00 pm to protest this behavior of forcing them to a certain venue and then blaming them for using the venue and lying that that was the venue originally requested by the church group. Seattle is screwed up from the top leaders to the general citizenry. We keep thinking that this or that latest scandal will be the straw that breaks the camels back. Yet, the camel appears to be able to bear unlimited weight. The Mayor was supposed to be moderate but this statement from his office is anything but moderate. Jonathan Turley takes a look at this at jonathanturley.org. All the way across the country, it was news and he wrote an extensive article on it from a free speech standpoint. mspart

Random fact: I live on the side of a mountain on 1+ acre. I can't dig 12 inches without hitting river rock. My dad said it must have been a glacier at one time. I just tried to auger out a bunch of fence post holes and had to dig out rocks on each one, and round they were. mspart
