What this world needs more than ever right now is some fiesty grandmas from the 1980's that grew up in the depression. They knew how to do everything...before phones or Google. They had no filter. They could grow a garden. Ring a neck...and cook. They'd sew your jeans back whole and tell you exactly why your jeans don't fit.
They knew most importantly to watch what people do instead of what they say. They were unbamboozable. Because they lived it all and could smell bullshit from across the fence.
Just as a friendly reminder. No matter who wins the 2024 Presidential Election, it will have no measurable effect on our weather. There will still be hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, heatwaves, cold snaps and wildfires. It is delusional to believe otherwise.
Harrison Butker has dominated the media the past week for merely saying women can be happy in traditional roles
The hysteria is ridiculous, but it's a testament to how rare passion-filled truth speakers are.
Be more like Harrison Butker
This retired police Chief (64) was run over “for fun” by two black guys last week, when he was out cycling.
The victim’s name was Andreas Probst.
His killers live-streamed their indescribably evil hit-and-run. Watching it will make your stomach turn, but because the victim is white, the media won’t push a global campaign on his behalf and he’ll quickly be forgotten.
Let’s not let that happen and let’s demand that his murderer never sees the light of day again.
RIP, Andreas.

🚨 MAUI FIRES DISTURBING TRUTH REVEALED 🚨
⚠️ WARNING: What You Are About To See is EXTREMELY AGGRAVATING/UPSETTING ⚠️
This Article Was Written and Sent To Me By A Maui Local Born and Raised There. He Currently Lives in Lahania and Knows Some of These Officials Personally.
When I Asked To Include His Name, He Said: “I don’t want any clout. I send this out of love for Maui and its people. I hope something like this never happens again.”
As You Read This, Please Consider Sharing! All Ad Revenue From This Tweet Will Be Donated DIRECTLY (Through Local Sources) To Maui Fire Victims! WE MUST SPREAD THIS INFORMATION FAR & WIDE TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN ANYWHERE! Each Like/Retweet Equals Money Going To Families Who Need It!
HERE ARE HIS EXTREMELY POWERFUL WORDS:
“First let me start off by saying Lahaina is a desert climate and has been since plantation owners rerouted the water source to other parts of the island. Lahaina used to be a lush landscape.
The infrastructure has largely remained the same since its inception. This means a cluttered nest of wires and rotting buildings. We have fires every year due to fallen electric lines. This isn’t something new.
In my opinion, this disaster could’ve been completely prevented had they spent the money to upgrade to in-ground electric lines. Many have asked over the years but were told there was no funds to do it. It’s a lot easier to secure funding after a disaster.
At the very least, HECO (the electric company) could’ve cut the power a lot sooner. HECO CEO Shelee Kimora claimed it could’ve affected specialized medical equipment. This is crazy considering you can’t use medical equipment if it’s incinerated by a fire. Just another excuse to avoid accountability.
The state of the art “all hazard” sirens never went off. Herman Andaya (Maui EMA director) who was in charge of making the decision to turn on the sirens said he didn’t regret it. The next day he resigned due to “health issues”.
No cell service and no loudspeaker either. There was no warning of any sort. People were in their houses and completely unaware until it the fire was close. There was a fire earlier and the Maui Fire Department said it was “100% contained”.
The police allowed incoming traffic into the town coming from Kaanapali but closed the road off on the other side due to a downed line that wasn’t even blocking the road. This caused a gridlock.
Residents' water was turned off with no way to protect their houses. Firefighters ran out of water and were denied access by Kaleo Manuel (DLNR’s deputy director for water resource management) until it was too late. This unnecessarily put firefighters at even greater risk.
I am especially embarrassed with leadership treating locals like criminals. They immediately enacted a roadblock (they could’ve just closed the fire zone) and implemented a military-enforced curfew 10pm - 6pm. There has also been a near-total media block in the fire zone. This is unconstitutional!
Many residents believe they have been soft selling the body count and knew they were hundreds of bodies that they collected the first day. Most of which are likely to be children who stayed home, without any cell service or power. Rumors of them filling containers with bodies and stacking them up in non refrigerated buildings. I suspect they’re trying to keep numbers down until the news cycle is over.
Despite not providing aid themselves, they have made it incredibly hard for residents to help by blocking the wharf and turning away boats with local aid, they blocked the roads, FEMA has been confiscating pallets of aid claiming it’s not fema approved items and they are not trained to distribute them.
Maui’s Mayor Bissen has acted like a bully throughout this entire mess. Just recently he threw a fit and tried to close down the press conference after a reporter asked “how many children are missing?”
The people need transparency and accountability and independent reporters who won’t be bullied!”
@alexhammeke@Jon_Dykstra@ERBY_ERB I think your correct Alex. If memory serves it dates back to when the school’s official name was something like the Kansas Normal Teachers College.
Call me a boomer but I don’t think the casualization of our dress code is good for society. Not saying back to suits and dresses to the grocery store but damn. Lazy appearance leads to lazy attitude, lazy behavior. It’s human nature. Pretty soon nobody will get haircuts or shave.
How bout the Pitt State Redshirt Freshman Lara Murdock taking first in the Women's 5000m Race!
