This is a good column by Charles Glasser on the decades long, steady stream of fake news out of Gaza.
Similarly, news organizations around the world naïvely and without fact-checking touted the heroic “Green Helmet Guy” who claimed to rescue child victims of Israeli bombing. The photos and video turned out to be staged: oddly, the same man mysteriously appeared in multiple pictures of rubble miles apart. Then of course, there is the “Unluckiest Woman in the World,” an elderly weeping Arab woman pictured in front of several different destroyed houses weeks apart, face distorted in grief as if to say “why, Allah, why?” None of the press asked themselves how one single woman could have so many different family members in so many different locations killed by Israeli bombs or missiles.
For years now, staged images of alleged Israeli brutality have circled the world, and were it not for the overall tragedy of the larger context, they’d be comical. One video shows Palestinians covered with sheets posing as cadavers, but they forgot that cadavers don’t move. A video from the recent riots in Gaza has been dubbed “The Miracle” after footage was uncovered of a man on crutches and allegedly injured by the IDF suddenly breaking into a full-tilt sprint.

This is an outrageous story and these people still haven’t been charged.
Capitol Police’s role appears to be “to bury, constrain and minimize the Awan case” and points to the need for “a legitimate, full investigation by a competent law enforcement agency,” he continued.
The House’s Inspector General — an internationally renowned cybersecurity expert — found that the Awans made “unauthorized access” to House servers, were taking data off the House network and were covering their tracks.
But the investigation now is under the purview of prosecutors, the FBI and Capitol Police.
More than a year later, no one has been charged with anything in the IG reports.
“The only reason you’re not seeing charges is because the Democrats who employed him are not cooperating,” a senior Republican congressional official with direct knowledge of the probe told TheDCNF.
Farrell said “This matter is too serious to be left to political operatives.”
Where do you go anymore to find a competent law enforcement agency in Washington DC ?

SPOKANE, Wash. – Former Spokane Chapter NAACP President Rachel Dolezal is now facing legal trouble that could land her behind bars. KHQ has confirmed that Dolezal, who legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2016, is accused of 1st Degree Theft by Welfare Fraud, Perjury in the 2nd Degree, and False Verification for Public Assistance. Her potential punishment under RCW 74.08.331 could include up to 15 years in prison.
Because Dolezal changed her name, we’ll be referring to her as Nkechi Diallo. According to court documents, Diallo illegally received $8,747 in food assistance, and illegally received $100 in childcare assistance. Total restitution, according to the documents, is $8,847, allegedly stolen from August 2015 through November 2017.

They’re predicting several 100 degree days next week.
In May.

Driving into the parking lot this morning, I saw both sets of last year’s twins and their moms. The little ones are almost as big as mom and by the end of summer you’ll only be able to pick out the twins because they’ll run together at least until the rut starts.
Oh, and nobody reads my posts, see yesterday’s #31 & #67. 😉 -
#5 Friday of next week is June 1, but yes, I get the picture. Before last Sunday’s meager rain, my yard looked almost as burnt as August.
-
Daughter got her new “Company Car” on Tuesday, a F150 4X4. That is one hell of a brush guard. It even has BF Goodrich All Terrains, the same tires that I,ve been running since the late 80’s, also the only tires her husband has ever had on his GMC’s. 😉
-
June 2, 2011 is the earliest 100 degree day in Houston history.
Looks like that record is going down.

From over yonder; All I got was this lousy hat.

I posted this on yesterday’s thread, but here it is again.
Mowers need oil? Who knew. My mower, circa 2010, is running tip top. Last year I replaced the coil with a used one obtained on Amazon; this year I had to replace the little diaphragm that sits under the carburetor. Oh, and I did put in a new air filter last year. Starts on the first pull and runs like a top. The pusher (me) has slowed down though. I was thinking about mowing today, but I decided to run the irrigation system instead. All I had to do there was punch a button. Summer’s here in case you hadn’t noticed. I’m already preparing for hurricanes, except that I’m 300 miles from the coast. Oh well, you can never be too prepared. Have a great day you all. -
#3 – Do you really think that was an accident? These are Dems we are dealing with here. No problem throwing a few policemen under the bus. Nothing that they do surprises me any more – and they still manage to blame Trump for the problem. Amazing. The depth of the corruption in our nation’s capitol never ceases to amaze me, and I thought I was the number one skeptic out there.

Good Friday morning Hamsters. A week removed from Friday the 13th so we should not be worried.
I read everybody’s comments on Hamous because there are so many gems and sources of serious news events before the LSM deigns to mention them. 🙂
-
And we are a far-flung family on Hamous, squabbling at times but none the less a family of sorts that cares about its members.
-
Hmmm, today’s Chron top of the fold on page A1 has an article titled “Records show Valdez owes back taxes.” Meaning Lupe Valdez, former Dallas County Sheriff, now Democrat nominee for Governor, and the taxes in question are property taxes. And it is quite detailed, with the result that the Chron seems to be damning by faint praise at best. One might gather that the Chron thinks her candidacy has some flaws that could be serious in her campaign to unseat the popular Greg Abbott as Governor. The story also notes that the Dallas County Sheriff’s salary is $175,000 annually.
-
Morning, Hamsters. Predicted high today for my zip code is only 89. That’s good because I have outdoor chores on my list for today.

Even Shannon. He’s a rescue but that’s why we love him.

Hey. It’s Sarge who causes all the trouble.

Monica seems to love mowing the lawn more than others.
I’ll gladly volunteer to trim her, uh, well, uh…hedge.
-
Smugly laying in his hammock, getting rich making reproduction militaria.
-
And loving it.
-
I guess it’s ‘cuz I’m a woman, but I look at that picture and think “that bare butt on that cracked seat has GOT to be uncomfortable”.
-
I don’t “get” the “bottom” of her “bikini”. Bikini bottoms don’t go up around the waist. That looks more like a kinky little apron. Or maybe a valance for a kitchen curtain.
-
High waisted bikinis allow for bottom protrusion; more like a thong instead of a bikini.
-
If she wants to come mow my lawn I’ll give her a new seat. . . .
-
Well I’ll be, I didn’t notice the tractor. With that rusted up cracked seat she gonna need a tetanus shot.
-
Pssst. Did you catch that?
“kinky little apron”

I have a photo to link that you’ll like, as soon as I get to a WiFi. -
Here you go.

I do love a story with a happy ending!

My #31
They have a resident herd of about thirty of these Axis deer. When they all travel together it is pretty impressive when you have to stop and let them cross the street in front of you.
-
And the Axis tastes good. As an invasive species, there is no “season” on them, but you do have to have a hunting license.

Sorry, but I don’t have 10 minutes to watch wasps buzzing around, before we find out how a weenie might kill them.
-
#37
Yeah, I had to click ahead myself.
Suffice it say, the carnage was both impressive and satisfying.
-
#30 – GEEZ that fella has wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much free time!

The OC pic looks to be something from Italy if you read the Bellucci-Bella printed on the edge of the decrepit and antique looking seat. That is obviously not the tractor name. It is also certainly no rival to Botticelli’s Birth of Venus.
I’m with mharper42’s #24 describing it as a kitchen curtain valance, however a dinky one.
-
no rival to Botticelli’s Birth of Venus.
Yeah but it’ll do.
-
I only noticed one seat in the OC pic and it isn’t antique or decrepit.
-
Hey, wait a minute! There is a tractor in that picture,….I didn’t see it right off.

Here’s any update on the pretty Diversity Bridge that collapsed a while back in Flarada killing several people. As expected, it actually concludes nothing.

We’ve so moved on from the pedestrian bridge. Trump is still president!

Moby the flounder strikes again. Last Friday a fish hit and broke the wife’s line. We saw the bobber on Saturday, went out on the kayak on Sunday to retrieve it, and it swam away every time I got close. On Tuesday found the bobber with the leader and hook. No remains, If the fish died and crabs got it I’d expect part of the head would still be on the hook. Today, a fish hit and broke the Wife’s pole, about 18″ from the tip, and then broke the line. (I thought you fixed the drag! I did, you won’t leave it alone.) Once again, there is a bobber floating where one was last week. The odds of this being the same fish, who knows. If the bobber is there on the morrow I’ll try the kayak chase again. If the tide is low the bobber will not be pulled under when moby swims off so the odds may be better this time.

Best damned fish story I’ve heard in forever.Hope the excitement continues .

Ok I’m sure I deserved that. Missed five minutes of Tucker Carlson.

If the ladies think that bikini looked uncomfortable, saw something else yesterday. There is a private zoo on 517 between Alvin and Dickinson. 80 acres of exotic animals. Various imported deer, Watusi cattle, lamas, etc. You sit in a trailer towed by a jeep. $4 buys you a bucket of food to feed the critters as you go. Across from us was a young couple with a very striking young lady in her Daisy Dukes rolled up as far as I suppose they can be. At one point, an ostrich reached in over the girlfriend and grabbed food from the boyfriend’s bucket. Much of which spilled in the girlfriend’s lap. The ostrich eyed that and went for the nearest treat. That gal sure moved fast to clear those.

A brief thunder shower just passed over us, sunny before and after passage over our place, but higher up just enough sunshine over the house to make a gorgeous rainbow in the middle of our back pasture, its upper portion mostly hidden by treetops. Both ends were beautifully distinct in the pasture, indeed a rainbow bridge for a few minutes before the clouds moved away and the sun grew closer to sunset.
Quite a treat by Mother Nature, free for the enjoyment. Spouse ran to get his camera and got several good pictures before it faded. Still lightly raining under the sunshine that’s now too low to make another one. Thank you, Lord, for this wonderful sight.

Johnny Football has signed with the Hamilton Tiger Cats in the CFL. Head coach June Jones has also hired Jerry Glanville. Not sure Canada is big enough for those two guys.
-
Got me a new hay rake.
-
Which two guys? I count three. June Jones is no slouch when it comes to being an ahole too.
-
#58
That’s true too, anyone who would work with Glanville over all those years can’t be all good.
-
And then there’s still that illegal storm creeping up on the gulf coast. Maybe because it is not technically a hurricane it is not considered illegal, since actual hurricane season open June 1. I still doubt the hurricane hunters can get out there and approach it until the season opens. Just say no to illegal hurricanes.
-
I hope Glanville dresses like Johnny Cash on the sidelines again and resurrects Stagger Lee.
77, still coaching and got bit by a water moccasin too.
If that don’t bust me right off my tempered back bacon and corn fed catfish hush puppies.

I’m with mharper42’s #24 describing it as a kitchen curtain valance, however a dinky one.
Dinky or kinky?
Shannonigans andTimTom want to know. -
There are so many great characters in the rich history of the Houston Oilers.
I am so glad I got to be around for…actually… all of it. -
Sure missing your face around here, SQK, if you’re lurkin’.

About that hay rake… You didn’t say that you had a great-grand-daughter operating it. -
Just to relive Luv Ya Blue again. They was the days. Later 80s, 90s Oilers – not so much.
-

Dinky as in small.

Almost 10 pm and it’s 73 outside likely thanks to the showers we had around 7 that left a quarter inch in the gauge. Sprinklers can stay turned off for about a week.
Summer has taken over and installed its typical weather patterns already. Ugh.

Is High on the Hoggwashed Boy out of the spotlight again.
If so then good.
I wonder if unca Shanny ever did JD the chicken dance in the 70s.

I never saw BOA live.
Or I don’t remember it if I did.The best part of the video is that it recalls that time before the queers stole the symbol of the rainbow for their own. Which I have resented ever since.

Apparently we had a tornado just west of me about an hour ago. I saw the emergency equipment running around and blocking the highway in front of my house. I hear there was some damage, but not much news until I get to the Old Pharts coffee club meeting in the AM. One sad story. The local animal control officer, a nice young man with 3 young children, lost his wife day before yesterday in a head on traffic crash just outside of town. He and his kids were staying with a relative while trying to get her buried, and tonight’s storm blew the windows out of the house where they were staying. Prayers.

My go to weather man, Frankie MacDonald, is on top of that illegal storm brewing out in the gulf. Here’s his report in its entirety.
