How could this Biden's Administration concocted this humiliating disorganized withdrawal from Afghanistan. Was that deliberate, or just usual. Just a thought.

President Biden has reacted to America's snowballing humiliation in the graveyard of empires by once again dispatching U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad to Doha, Qatar, to urge the government and the Taliban to seek a political solution, while at the same time dispatching B-52 bombers to attack at least two provincial capitals.

In Lashkargah, the capital of Helmand province, the US. bombing has already reportedly destroyed a high school and a health clinic.

 Another B-52 bombed Sheberghan, the capital of Jowzjan province and the home of the infamous warlord and accused war criminal Abdul Rashid Dostum, who is now the military commander of the U.S.-backed government's armed forces. 

Many are thinking the Afghanistan war passed it's first year was not worth the cost.

A Florida appeals court ruled in favor of Governor Ron DeSantis, effectively reinstating his ban on mask mandates in the state's public schools.

The decision by the First District Court of Appeals reverses a previous ruling by a Florida district court judge.......

"No surprise here - the 1st DCA has restored the right of parents to make the best decisions for their children," DeSantis wrote on Twitter. 

"I will continue to fight for parents’ rights."
Florida is one of several U.S. states where Republican governors have sought to prevent local governments and school districts from mandating masks, in what has become a highly politicized tussle over COVID-19 precautions.

The masks are forced on the parents/kids by the local school in order to pile up more students in such a small space.    Just a thought.

Gorilla...

 

A number of western lowland gorillas at Zoo Atlanta have tested positive for the coronavirus, the zoo announced on its website.

"Recently, Gorilla Care Team members observed coughing, nasal discharge, and minor changes in appetite in several members of the gorilla population," the zoo wrote Friday. "Upon the onset of these signs, the Animal Care and Veterinary Teams immediately pursued testing for SARS-CoV-2. Fecal samples and nasal and oral swab samples were sent to the Athens Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at the University of Georgia, where they tested presumptively positive. Zoo Atlanta is waiting to receive the results of the confirmatory tests on samples sent to the National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, Iowa."

 The zoo believes the gorillas were infected by an employee who was fully vaccinated and wearing Personal Protective Equipment while caring for the animals, but later tested positive for COVID-19

Gravity...

 

Gravity is a force which tries to pull two objects toward each other. Anything which has mass also has a gravitational pull. The more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what causes objects to fall.

The remnants of Hurricane Ida, dropped more than half a foot of water on the region and gave New York City more rainfall.

It’s the exact sort of weather event that climate change promises to make more frequent: increasingly intense bursts of water in increasingly brief periods of time. And it’s one that the city’s infrastructure was not made to handle.

The MTA pumps 14 million gallons of water from subway stations daily, so days with heavy rain pose challenges.  

Of the MTA’s 665 miles of subway track, 418 are underground, which means they’re vulnerable to flooding.  When the drainage and sewer system are overwhelmed, it sends water flooding into the subway system.

  Just a thought.

Scientists generally regard the later part of the 19th century as the point at which human activity started influencing the climate. But the new study brings that date forward to the 1830s.

The study, published in the journal Nature, draws on a new record of tropical sea surface temperature dating back to 1500, captured in fossilised corals and tiny marine organisms.

The findings suggest the climate system responds to greenhouse gases quicker than thought with consequences for understanding future climate change.

When human society began to industrialise, we started to change the chemistry of the atmosphere by adding CO2 to the air.

But knowing how much warming we’ve seen means comparing temperatures now to a time before the world started to feel the effects of industrialising. Scientists refer to that baseline period as “pre-industrial” and the period since then as the “industrial era”.   Just a thought.
