    • It is not unusual that a snowstorm or wind storm will take down his power and internet for a day or two. Usually it’s a 24 to 48 hour issue.

      But this has been way long.

      I have done what I can and contacted people who know how to get a check done on him.

      I hope to know more today.

      Let’s hope that this storm took down a lot of lines or something and its taking a while for power and internet to get back online and that is all it is.

      German police battling far-left militants in Riesa on Saturday

      Roughly 12,000 far-left ‘Anti’-Fascists attacked the convention of the opposition AfD party in Riesa, East Germany, Saturday, erecting roadblocks, attacking vehicles, and demanding ID while police looked on. The so-called ‘Anti’-Fascists proudly posted about their attacks on German democracy.

      The military-trained Black Bloc militia was bussed in from around Germany on over 200 busses by George Soros-funded NGO “Campact”.

      The AfD is currently the second-most popular party in Germany, gaining another 2% in the two days since Elon Musk’s X Space with party chair Alice Weidel (pron.: “Vydel”) last Thursday, to 22%. Weidel’s armored Mercedes limousine was attacked by about 30 violent ‘Anti“-Fascists on her way to the convention in Riesa, Saxony.

      The ‘Anti’-Fascists organized themselves military-style in color-coded militia groups and erected roadblocks on the roads into Riesa, demanding to see ID from people arriving to check against lists of AfD members, who were then forced to turn around while police looked on.

      AfD members reported being led on a wild goose chase of up to five to six hours to reach the convention venue. Democratic parties are required to hold a convention if they want to compete in German elections.

      The convention opened two hours late on Saturday. So-called ‘Anti’-Fascists posted videos proudly bragging about obstructing democracy in the name of “protecting democracy” from the will of the German voter. At least six police officers were injured, and 35 arrests were made.

      The massive attack on democracy was organized and funded by the left-wing network around George Soros funded “Campact”, the German version of Soros/Podesta funded “MoveOn.” Campact published lists of busses transporting their street guerilla to Riesa on the website “widersetzen” (Resist). “Campact Democracy Foundation” was funded with $300,000 by the Open Society Foundations in 2021.

      The donation account was run by the “Antifascist League” (VVN-BdA), which was designated “the lead organization of radical left-wing Antifascism” by Bavarian State Police.

    • Hundreds of Thousands Flood the Streets in Romania to Protest Cancelling of the Presidential Election Over Bogus ‘Russian Influence’ Charge (VIDEOS)

      Hundreds of thousands of Romanians furious with the current government for the cancellation of the presidential election marched today (12) through the capital Bucharest to demand that the vote should proceed and that outgoing – and by now illegitimate – President Klaus Iohannis should resign.
      Reuters reported:

      “In a move that polarized voters, Romania’s top court voided the presidential election on Dec. 6, two days before the second round.

      The cancellation came after state documents showed frontrunner Calin Georgescu, a critic of NATO, had benefited from an unfair social media campaign likely to have been orchestrated by Russia, accusations Moscow has denied.”

      Reuters is lying, here – the documents show no proof whatsoever of Russian involvement, and the ‘campaign’ they object to was proven to have been financed by Romanians.

  7. The Infamous Delta Smelt Fish Has Not Been Seen in Nearly a Decade – California Allowed Its Cities to Burn to the Ground Over a Fish That They Can’t Even Find Anymore

    The Pacific Palisades fire destruction and the California Delta Smelt.

    The tiny Delta Smelt fish have not been seen in the wild in California in over a decade.

    And yet, California Democrats flushed annual water flow into the ocean to save this little fish that they can’t even find in its natural habitat.
    Now several cities are burnt to the ground.

    They sacrificed entire communities for a fish that doesn’t exist.

    A 2021 report by Dan Bacher in the Sacramento News revealed that there have been NO DELTA SMELT seen in the wild since 2012.
    They’re extinct.

    For the seventh September in a row, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has caught zero Delta smelt during its Fall Midwater Trawl Survey of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

    The last time Delta smelt – an indicator species for the broader ecological health estuary – were found in CDFW’s September survey was in 2015. Only 5 were caught by state biologists at the time.

    After that, the only year that Delta smelt were caught during the entire four-month survey was in 2016, when a total of 8 smelt were reported.

    The final results of Fish and Wildlife’s four-month survey of pelagic (open water) fish species, conducted from September through mid-December, won’t be available until around the start of next year. The current September 2022 data is available here on the annual state surveys webpage.

    Recent research has shown that the water releases are not providing the benefits to the small fish that they originally thought. Their population numbers are nearly nonexistent in the wild.

    A report released by the conservative Pacific Institute found that every year, 59.5 million acre-feet of stormwater goes uncaptured across the United States each year. Approximately 490,000 acre-feet of runoff each year, or roughly 437 million gallons per day, takes place in LA, Long Beach and Anaheim, or roughly 437 million gallons per day. They thought this would save their freshwater minnows like the Delta Smelt.

    Liberal Democrats don’t think about issues that are caused by their lunacy. That’s why the fire hydrants don’t have any water.

    The Delta smelt is a tiny fish that environmentalists claimed was an indicator of the health of your ecosystem. The argument was that low populations of Delta smelt meant you were in trouble – but after years of allowing water to run into the ocean , there was no significant… https://t.co/8BXAPOx0G5

    Manmade smuggling tunnel to El Paso

    How did this manmade smuggling tunnel supposedly go undetected for so long?

    A manmade smuggling tunnel with electricity and ventilation from Ciudad Juarez to the US side of the border in El Paso was recently discovered.

    A Border Patrol spox thanked Mexican law enforcement as well as US CBP and local authorities in Texas for working together to discover the sophisticated smuggling operation.

    The tunnel is six feet tall and four feet wide, according to CBP.

    Mexican law enforcement received tips about people entering a sewer in Juarez.

    KFOX14 reported:

    We are getting a look inside a smuggling tunnel was discovered Friday afternoon in the Lower Valley after a bi-national operation.

    Claudio Herrera-Baeza, spokesperson with the U.S. Border Patrol in El Paso, said that thanks to an operation involving Mexican law enforcement as well as U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Texas Department of Safety, El Paso Police Department, Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI, a man-made tunnel believed to be used by smugglers was found at the border wall, parallel to Loop 375, near the big red “X” in Ciudad Juarez.

    Herrera Baeza said the tunnel starts in Juarez and ends here on the El Paso side of the border.

    According to a press release from Mexican officials, security agents deployed in the municipality received citizen reports about people entering a sewer.
