U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) posted a video to X on Thursday promoting efforts, alongside their friends at FEMA, engaged in disaster cleanup. It is a demonstration of government efficiency at its absolute best. Or maybe not. They were promptly ratioed into oblivion for the effort. Worried about hurricane cleanup in Florida after Hurricane Milton? Fear not. These folks are on the case! "Along with our partners at @FEMA, we will continue with disaster recovery as a result of Hurricane Milton," the video is captioned. "The safety of the American people is our top priority."

The video needs no explanation.

Now we need a bucket brigade for passing 30 million illegals back over the border.

Obviously they can all carry that piece of wood (that ain't a log!), so if each one picked up one log and carried it to the pile, they would have had it done in about 2 minutes. So when the trailer to haul off the woodpile they made arrives, will they load it the same way?

A track hoe with a thumb is the right machine for loading this debris into a truck.

Horribly inefficient. A truck or even a car with a trailer hitch could have dragged that thing without wasting the resources to cut it up so much. I've seen it before though. My squadron was tasked by one of our own NCOs to load our own cargo pallets before a deployment. The cargo people had refused our loading job three times already because we were idiots and didnt know how to do it. So, despite the fact that there were already a dozen guys repacking the pallet and making the same mistakes again, some E9 tore into me for not helping. Apparently the appearance of getting something done is more important than actually getting something done.

The question that needs to be asked is why are Customs and Border Patrol officers in North Carolina doing storm cleanup? Isn't there something they should be doing at the border?

Yes, why use the border patrol? Why not put federal prisoners on a chain gang? Why not take soldiers and Marines out of DEI training and put them to work? Why not take Forest Service employees and send them to NC?

This reminds me of the joke about how many people does it take to change a light bulb. Five. One to change the bulb and four to hold the chair. Or something like that. How many government people does it take to dig a hole? One to dig and four to watch. We know the drill and it looks like they have it down pat.

My Uncle, who grew up through the Depression, and used to tell me how, back in the day, they joked that the "Civilian Conservation Corps" (CCC) was, "One man digging with five men watching." It was the first thing I thought of when I watched that video.

MSNBC is facing fierce backlash for using Nazi rally clips during its coverage of former President Donald Trump’s historic campaign event at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. The left-leaning network included footage from the 1939 Nazi rally at the New York City arena and compared it to Trump’s own rally, which packed the famed venue. “But that jamboree happening right now, you see it there on your screen in that place is particularly chilling because in 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the Garden for a so-called pro-America rally,” the anchor said while rolling the footage.

There are con men, then there are con artists, and then there is the guy who passed himself off as a French cheese wholesaler and made off with 22 metric tons (48,488 pounds) of award-winning British cheddar. You have to admit; that's fetamazing. Thieves with a nose for fine cheese have pulled off a massive cheddar ripoff in London. Neal’s Yard Dairy said a con artist posing as a wholesale distributor for a major French retailer had made off with 22 metric tons (48,488 pounds) of award-winning cheddar worth 300,000 British pounds ($390,000) before the company realized it had been scammed

Lancaster County officials announced an investigation Friday after election workers found some 2,500 voter applications they suspect are fraudulent. Two batches of applications were dropped off last minute at the county elections office to meet Pennsylvania’s Oct. 21 voter-registration deadline, officials reported at a Friday news conference. District Attorney Heather Adams said investigators found problems with 60% of the voter-registration forms they’ve reviewed so far, including incorrect addresses, false identification information, false names and names that don’t match Social Security information. “Staff noticed that numerous applications appeared to have the same handwriting [and] were filled out on the same day,” Adams said.

Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has said that Vice President Kamala Harris has been facing sexism and racism from black men. Abrams made an appearance on CNN wherein she was asked to comment on Georgia pastor Jamal Bryant saying that misogyny has been hurting the black community. “Full stop misogyny is still real in our community. We’ve got to address it head-on and not act like it doesn’t exist. The reality is if black men had voted, Stacey Abrams would be a governor,” Bryant said.

Migrants planning their journey to the U.S. are cheering for Vice President Kamala Harris to win the presidential election, figuring they’ll get a better shake from her, according to a border expert. Todd Bensman said he’s been traveling in Mexico where migrants tell him they’re rushing north in hopes of making it to the U.S. before the Nov. 5 election. “I love Kamala Harris,” one young Venezuelan man told him. Mr. Bensman, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, recounted his experience for the Daily Mail. “We do not like Donald Trump because he don’t like us,” he quoted a man from Ghana as saying.

We’re about two weeks out from what may be the most important election of our lifetime. It always seems to be the most important election of our lifetime, which is a real problem. Frankly, elections shouldn’t be that big a deal. They should be important. They should matter. But they should not be an existential crisis. Look back to 1996 when you had Bill Clinton running for reelection against legit war hero Bob Dole. We had that election, and nothing much changed. But pretty much ever since, it’s been crisis after crisis. It’s always the most important election because the left wants to lead America into a communist nightmare

For years now there has been a long-promoted talking point in the press that crimes have gone down in this country during the Biden years. This claim has been in defiance of surges of violence in places like New York and D.C., the drugs and affiliated crimes with the mounting homeless problem in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the ongoing reality of store chains closing locations due to perpetual shoplifting going unaddressed and unabated. Yet the press has tried to sell us on the concept that things have been calming across the nation

My friend Ben Bartee briefly covered this yesterday in his "Sodom and Gomorrica" series but did not go into much detail other than demonstrating just how far we have fallen as a culture and arguably as a species. Yes, they really gave him a blue and pink trim to his armor, which, if you are familiar with Star Wars lore, is supposed to indicate which legion he serves in.

Memphis, Tennessee, once known for its blues, soul and rock 'n' roll music, has now turned into a haven for crime and drug abuse. A study by WalletHub has named the Southern city the most dangerous city to live in America among the 182 cities surveyed. The United States Department of Justice also declared that this once-flourishing metro has the highest number of homicides - 129 in the first half of 2024. Apart from this, 167 rapes, 1,028 robberies and 3,763 incidents of aggravated assault were reported in the first half of 2024 in Memphis.

President Biden described the current election cycle as “decency versus lack of decency,” and called former President Trump a “loser” during a campaign stop for Vice President Harris in the swing state of Pennsylvania. “This is the most important election of our lifetime no matter how old or young you are,” Biden told the Pittsburg, Pa. audience members on Saturday. Not a joke, not a hyperbole, not about Democrat or Republican. This is decency versus lack of decency,” Biden declared. “This is about character.” The president added Harris was a “clearer” choice for the position of commander-in-chief. “The choice couldn’t be clearer. The choice couldn’t be more stark,” the president stated.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said she thinks the Madison Square Garden rally former President Trump is hosting Sunday is a “white flag of surrender.” “I think he’s waving the white flag of surrender,” Hochul said Sunday on MSNBC’s “The Weekend.” He’s coming back to a city that he knows well. He’s comfortable here. Maybe he’d like to sleep in his own bed.” Hochul contrasted Trump’s rally with Vice President Harris’s itinerary. She’s campaigning in the critical battleground state of Pennsylvania. Trump will be going to his “known, familiar” environment, but it won’t serve him on the campaign trail, Hochul argued.

The Deep State Won’t Intervene In The Election 25 replies

Everyone is wondering what will happen on November 5. Will Trump win the election? Or will the Democrats, aided by their Deep State operatives in the FBI and CIA, manage to “fortify” the election once again? This may surprise you, but I think he’ll win—although that’s not the end of the story, and there’s not necessarily a happy ending. Two months ago, I didn’t think Trump would win. I was confident that the same “cabal” of Deep State cronies Time Magazine wrote about in 2021—the secret junta that really rules America—would never allow Trump to win in a fair election.

Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, recently called Donald Trump a “fascist to the core” and “a wannabe dictator.” That such a senior military leader would feel comfortable saying this about his former boss is remarkable given that similar statements by officers have, in the past, resulted in severe punishment. The U.S. Constitution makes the president—the only democratically elected leader in the chain of command—commander in chief. Military leaders serving under the president owe him both deference and respect, regardless of whether their policy preferences differ.

Vice President Kamala Harris appeared with Michelle Obama on Saturday evening, and things ranged from laughable to psychotic.

I'd instead go with psychotic regarding the following clip. But while Michelle Obama made headlines for being so tone-deaf and demeaning, Harris got noticed for a different reason: She was completely unhinged.

“Exxon Knew!” The battle cry has inflamed and inspired climate activists for decades. Since the 1970s, they allege, Exxon Knew that human-caused climate change is “real” – but lied about it, claimed there wasn’t a “crisis,” and kept marketing its “planet-killing” fuels and petrochemical feed stocks. Now activists say Exxon Knew for years that very little plastic waste is actually recycled. The oil giant is deceiving regulators and consumers with claims that all plastics are recyclable and its “advanced recycling” processes keep enormous amounts of plastics out of landfills. ExxonMobil “campaign of deception” demands a lawsuit, says California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

Michelle Obama came out to support Kamala Harris during an event in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Saturday. She hasn't done much for Harris; she hasn't been out there like her husband. This is her first campaign appearance apart from the DNC in August, and we're almost at the election. She scarcely could have done less. But to be fair, surrogates Barack Obama and Bill Clinton haven't been doing well for Kamala either. They seem to be accidentally throwing her under the bus and stepping in it more than helping her. Barack basically attacked black men for not being sufficiently supportive of her and suggested they were misogynistic.
