Aircraft Down
A KC-135 air refueling tanker went down in Iraq, killing all aboard. Six crewmembers died. Details are sketchy. A second KC-135 was "involved" (not clear how involved) and landed safely. They insist it wasn't shot down (by either side), but it's sad to lose people in the line of duty under any circumstances. We honor fallen servicemen for a reason. (As an aside, having worked those planes for 10 years, I have an affinity for the aircraft and the people who fly them.)
Blah, Blah, Blah
The Oscars were awarded. The end.
No ICE, ICE, Baby
A small town in Georgia has decided to be a big deal by protesting ICE, and another is considering similar actions. They've opted to cut off water and sewer to the detention center planned there, ostensibly because it's too much water and sewer, but actually it appears it's because they oppose ICE being there. Is this a NIMBY situation? "We don't mind you doing that ... just not in my backyard." Or is it actually a question of sewage and water? I think the answer is easy. Let whoever wants to come in come. Put ICE out of business. See how fast the nation thrives or collapses with the security risks, the strain on public resources, the impact on American workers, the changes in government brought on by changes in culture ... and on and on. Easy.
What Could Go Wrong?
Someone flew a drone over New York correctional facility and dropped drugs, a cell phone knives, and more into the yard. Ain't technology grand? Like AI, technology is neither good nor bad. The heart of Man, however ... (Gen 6:5; Gen 8:21; Jer 17:9; Mark 7:21-23)
Dedicated to a Cause
The FDA has approved higher-dose Wegovy injections to increase weight loss for people who ... what ... won't diet and eat right? Literally to have their cake and eat it to? Humans can be very shallow, risking nausea, vomiting, pancreatitis, and gallbladder problems so they can eat what they want and look good ... in their own minds. Sure, doctors are admirably concerned about chronic metabolic disease, but the users are likely less so. Certainly not the ones I've talked to.
Your Best Source for Fake News
A Lebanon-born man in Michigan rammed his vehicle into a Jewish synagogue in Michigan (actual story). So far, the government and the media are at a loss to discover a motive for the Muslim man with ties to Hezbollah. Quite the mystery. North Korea held elections, where Kim Jong-un took 99.93% of the votes (actual story). The Bee notes his winning strategy of being able to shoot anyone in the face if they don't vote for him. (I can think of current politicians in America who would love that strategy.) In other news, Democrats fear that the rising cost of gasoline could affect Molotov cocktail production. "The higher gas prices go, the more our violent constituents will feel it in their wallets." This war is a problem for everyone.
Must be true; I read it on the internet.
