Scoop: Clinton World is helping take over the embattled Black Lives Matter org. The law firm of Marc Elias (of discredited dossier infamy) is handling BLM's books, & longtime Bill & Hillary ally Minyon Moore is on BLM's board.@DCExaminer w/ @AndrewKerrNChttps://t.co/aNpVNR4F59

Welp, that’s the end of BLM. Once you get sucked into the Clinton maw, the only way out is “suicide.”
New explosives could be more powerful and safer to handle than TNT and other conventional explosives and would also be more environmentally friendly.
TNT, RDX and other explosives commonly used in military and industrial applications often generate toxic gases upon detonation that pollute the environment. Moreover, the explosives themselves are toxic and can find their way into the environment due to incomplete detonation and as unexploded ordnance. They are also extremely dangerous to handle, as they are highly sensitive to physical shock, such as hard impacts and electric sparks.
To make safer, more environmentally friendly explosives, scientists in Germany turned to a recently explored class of materials called tetrazoles. These derive most of their explosive energy from nitrogen instead of carbon as TNT and others do.
When you’re stumbling in the bombed-out rubble of your home, holding your severed arm and your infant, split-open like a baked potato, at least you will have the comfort that your death isn’t going to harm the environment.
US avocado import ban from Mexico sparks fears of nationwide shortage
The US suspension of avocado imports from Mexico is already sparking fears of shortages at grocery stores and restaurants, with industry insiders warning the market may be just days away from running out of its supply.
A lengthy halt in shipments from Michoacán, the only state in Mexico cleared to export the fruit to the US, would leave US businesses without many options to obtain enough avocados to meet massive demand – and result in higher prices for the few avocados available at stores.
Mexico accounts for 83% of the US’s annual supply of Hass avocados, according to the Hass Avocado Board. Keith Slattery, the top executive at Stonehill Produce, a major importer of Mexico-grown Hass avocados, said the US market only has about a week’s worth of avocado inventory in the pipeline.
“That’ll dry up quickly,” Slattery told Bloomberg.

Military explosives are known to just go off if you look at them wrong.
I was killed, several times over, just looking at grenades, artillery rounds, etc.
Good thing you didn’t look at any nuclear warheads.
Definitely don’t expose them to mean tweets.
When unloading arty rounds around reporters, we would bang them on the steel deck(a totally normal occurrence), then yell “Oh SHIT! and run away.
I’m getting tears in my eyes remembering the panicked look on one girl.
Good times.
Kinetic energy axe? Where do I buy chemical or nuclear energy axes?
You can buy a chemical axe anywhere. They’re called chainsaws.
Rotten small pieces are tough to split. Don’t even try honey dew melons
Not an axe anyway, an 8 lb wood splitter
Don’t axe how I know..
Oh, now you tell me.
Talk about being born into a role.
The Simulation has a great sense of humor.
The official BLM organization has always been about making those at the top rich. Now the Clintons are at the top. They’re going to suck that organization dry.
“Business bad? Fuck you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning, huh? Fuck you, pay me.”
Well, since they Clinton Foundation collapsed after Hildog lost in 2016, they needed a new grift. Might as well skinsuit one as build one from scratch.
They have a proven record of helping black people, for example, in Haiti.
Legit LOL
Kinetic energy axe? As opposed to a potential energy axe?
all axes are potential energy axes on the upswing and kinetic on the down.
Well, if they’re wielded by a human, they’re chemical energy until the muscles start to move.
That thing looks like an accident waiting to happen.
That thing looks totally safe to use…
The one time he hit a decent size log, it took a detour to the right that had the potential to end up in his shin. So no thanks.

You’re axing too many questions.
Why is there an import ban on avocados? Are they trying to help the cartels improve their hold over the agricultural industry in Mexico even more?
Temporary pause, when they arrive now they will actually be ripe.
Weevils.
New explosives could be more powerful and safer to handle than TNT and other conventional explosives and would also be more environmentally friendly.
Better living through SCIENCE!
Now Raytheon and Lockheed Martin can get even more money through the Green New Deal.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they already were.
Is that not expressly the point of the Green New Deal? Buying corporate loyalty?
I’m good if they can improve all three without blowing up the cost. Likely power and cost will be sacrificed for environmentally friendly.
“blowing up the cost”
This is going to be a blast.
Who’s buying the next round?
Welp, that’s the end of BLM.
Amateurs. That’s like sending your Roomba to fight the Terminator.
What are the odds that this action is purely to protect the actions of Act Blue through the enhanced political profile. The Clinton’s cannot resurrect BLM but some major DNC actors could get caught up in money laundering / campaign finance charges.
I remember in 2016 Hillary asked BLM what they wanted and they refused to answer. They also wouldn’t let Bernie Sanders speak at one of their events.
I look forward to them installing some stooges, and then the inevitable in-fighting with people who call themselves “real” activists, use of the words “Oreo,” “Uncle Tom,” etc. Should be fun to watch.
Wasn’t most of their money going to Act Blue?
Early on, the BLM website took you directly to Act Blue to make a donation.
But recent reports say BLM has something like $60M bucks which are not properly accounted for.
I saw something the other day suggesting it may be even more. If any AG ever looks into, I suspect they will find embezzlement and/or theft.
Nobody would have ever raised an eyebrow if they would have just sent the IRS some checks for whatever those transactions were. The only crime the government really cares about is cutting them out of an exchange.
That axe looks safe.

Supply chain issues for homebuilders appear to be getting worse, and that is weighing on confidence in the industry.
Builder confidence in the single-family, newly built housing market fell 1 point in February to 82 on the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. That is the second straight month of declines. Anything above 50 is considered positive. The index stood at 84 in February 2021.
“Production disruptions are so severe that many builders are waiting months to receive cabinets, garage doors, countertops and appliances,” said NAHB Chairman Jerry Konter, a builder from Savannah, Georgia. “These delivery delays are raising construction costs and pricing prospective buyers out of the market.”
Surging lumber prices are also adding thousands of dollars to the cost of new homes.

My ex-wife wasnt much of a wrestler, but man you shoulda seen her box.
Looks great. A good toolbox is a pearl beyond price. We’ve got a big 6′ Kobalt, we like it well enough to have hauled it all the way to Alaska.
We brought almost no furniture up here. We even sold the white oak bedroom set we had owned for near unto thirty years. But we brought that damn toolbox.

Both Fox and CNN have viewers from the other network watching just so they can slam each other and so keep their respective base viewership engaged enough to watch. I also wonder how much hate viewership there is.

If Fox really wants to hurt CNN, they should stop covering them.

It’s a mystery
Americans continue to experience and hear about the nation’s inflation woes: they’re seeing it fairly clearly in gas and grocery prices, and on their news feeds.
The inflation rate has exceeded the 40-year high previously set in December, but what remains unclear to many is what is really causing that inflation and when it will come to an end. Obvious to many is that the pandemic has put its thumb on the economic scale, but what exactly is causing the purchasing power of the dollar to falter remains murky.
That’s not just an issue for the average person, however. While most economists tend to acknowledge the same causes of inflation, many disagree which elements are most driving the price increases that continue to vex American consumers.
Supply chain issues, surging demand, production costs, and swaths of relief funds all have a role to play, they say, but politics tend to cause one to point the finger at the supply chain or the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 as the main culprits.
A more apolitical view may suggest that all have a role to play in shrinking the distance a dollar can travel.
“There’s a confluence of factors — it’s both,” said David Wessel, the director of the Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy at the Brookings Institution. “There’s a lot of things that pushed up demand and a lot that’s kept supply from responding accordingly, as a result we have inflation.”
Something something always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon.
It’s a mystewy.
Is that the nut Robert Fripp married?
The very same.
The Biden administration, however, is adamant that the American Rescue Plan Act has not driven inflation. Instead it points to the supply chain struggles and corporations independently driving up prices.
Profiteers!
Wreckers!

I don’t know what kind of hearing or whatever that was, but I’d love to see people shouting back and forth with Biden. I’d actually watch CSPAN if it had that.

Haven’t watched the video, but it sounds like he’s confessing to a crime on them, no?
Seems like it’d be a slam-dunk.
Unless he’s trying to take credit for something he didn’t do.
I’d put money down that the hack(s) were assisted from the inside.
That aside, the dude is a walking invitation for a professional hit.
One of the stories I found about the hack, which I think I posted here, says that some security researchers found a vulnerability at GiveSendGo some time ago. They let GiveSendGo know about the vulnerability. GiveSendGo did nothing about it, and there was some talk that taking advantage of this vulnerability was part of the hack.
If that’s true, then it might be that GiveSendGo is a honey pot.
More likely (in my estimation) is that GSG is a cobbled together piece of software supported by fewer than 5 people and has been getting by so far on its relative anonymity. When put under stress, the security flaws were found easily.
That’s a possibility too.
In any event, I will never donate to another GiveSendGo campaign again.
Yeah this, they got by until motivated actors who knew what they were doing exploited their shit.

Uhm….
Yeah, much of this is on GiveSendGo. I worked tangentially in the area of financial transaction software for awhile back in the day, and the level of security and audit was like nothing else I’ve ever seen. Rightly so, in my opinion.
If someone wants to make a crowd-sourced donation site that’s essentially bullet-proof and government-proof, they’re gonna have to get serious about it.

I have three avocados on the kitchen counter right now. Should I put them in a safe deposit box?

Sell them on ebay so you can afford to buy more orphans.
That gives me an idea. With the border open, there are probably a lot of orphans from Mexico available. I can get a few of those and have them plant the pits, and grow my own avocado trees. Profit!
You don’t need to pay for them. Go down to the border. They’re free range, and all you have to do is gather them up.
“Hey, Border Patrol! I’ve got these, I need a few new orphans.”
“Thanks for being a patriot and helping us out!”

When they were good. I saw at SeaTac they have a fucking Sub Pop store. So not-punk it’s painful.

Sebadoh really deserved a larger audience.

All the explosives in mining, demolitions, and military exercises in the world can’t amount to a hill of beans in terms of carbon compared to everything else, Shirley?
All the human activity in the world isn’t all that much, so a subset of human activity is going to be even less.
Besides even debating that is letting the greenies steal the base on the claim that carbon is a pollutant. It’s plant food. We need more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the poor plants are near starvation levels right now.
That was obviously supposed to be a reply under a comment about the green bombs.
More specifically, that one, hence *sensible hat* in the context of that.

I think assholes who can’t wait for a bus to let kids off should be beaten. But $3.5M? Why not have bus drivers just snap a pic of the assholes?
That seems nuts to me, unless the kids also have to cross the road, if there is room why can’t cars pass? I had seen this on TV recently. Some limeys in America bemused as to why all the traffic had to wait behind the bus while it was stopped.

Anyway, reminds me of this quote from Blood Meridian:
This is the nature of war, whose stake is at once the game and the authority and the justification. Seen so, war is the truest form of divination. It is the testing of one’s will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence.War is god.
A forcing of the unity of existence.
