Free Republic

Terrible loss. Prayers for the families an all involved.

Correct Pronunciation: I hear de lamantations off der wimmen. . .

Thanks for the pics. The last one shows “wall art” that resembles the ‘halo’ the MSM used when photographing Obama. So if Obama sits at the head of the table, then there’s a ‘halo’ over his head. What’s that you say? The halo would be too high above his head? Nonsense, those seated at the table should see, via line-of-sight, a colorful halo right behind his head. :)

From your link I grabbed this title:
Michelle Obama Unveils $600K Updates to White House State Dining Room

Imagine - they had horrible taste. Remember the “Christmas Decorations?” So all that money spent on making the White House look less presidential. What a shame.

I objected to Obama using the desk in the oval office as a park bench: http://www.theblaze.com/news/2013/09/01/does-seeing-president-obamas-foot-on-the-oval-office-desk-make-your-blood-boil/

Same as their “rage” at his having 2 scoops of ice cream when others only had one. They are going for the decadence angle here.

“Everyone talks about how Ossoff won’t mention Trump, right? But when I give a speech about respect and civility and kindness and decency, am I not talking about Trump?”

They are so morally vain that if you aren’t a liberal, you are cruel, indecent, and evil etc. A lib friend of mine slipped when telling me about someone of whom she approved,”He’s a good liberal.” She meant, “He’s a good, kind, decent person.”

I think the author feels this is why Ossof lost. Too “kind” in the face of too much “evil.” I think the MSM would like to encourage more bike-locks-upside-the-head and less Stewart Smalley (Al Franken’s SNL character who admires himself in a mirror, doggone it he liked himself).

communication problems...

I like it!
I wanna try.
MSM = “sewer full of traitors”?

“sewer of sedition”

“commode of communists”

“nest of vipers” ....but that one’s been done to death

“oven mitts of Satan”

Thank you for mentioning the pedophile in the photo while others praise her appearance.

They were warned that the wood beams supporting the tunnels had lost 1/3 of their strength by 1980 but did nothing. Then:
“A group of academic experts, working under contract to the department, said more alarmingly in a 1,969-page report in August 2015 that the roof of the tunnel in question had been seriously weakened and that a “partial or complete failure” could expose individuals even 380 feet away to dangerous levels of radiation.”
And still they did nothing. The story of nuclear energy. Same with Fukushima.

The waste in the tunnel system is not what most would know as waste, it is actually the equipment used in shuttling the nuclear material within the tunnel system, the rail cars and such.
______________________________________________
Actually, those rail cars were filled with radioactive material:
“ Eight flatbed railroad cars loaded with radioactive material were parked inside when the entrance was sealed in 1965.”
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/05/12/sinkhole-collapsed-hanford-nuke-site/319098001/

“Fifty-three dump trucks full of soil filled the 400-square foot hole over the tunnel containing radioactive waste stored on the former plutonium production site near Richland in southern Washington.”
https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/05/hanford-tunnel-collapse/526041/
There’s a picture (twitter) on that page that shows the 20’ x 20’ opening. The article says that the millions of gallons leaking out the massive radioactive sludge tanks are a bigger concern at Hanford. :(

A few months ago, a 400 foot hole opened up in a tunnel containing rail cars filled with radioactive waste (Hanford, WA). But it’s not the only problem there and just glancing around I found this from 2 years ago:
“On Dec. 10, radioactive contamination was found on the elbow of a worker after the suit had been removed. It was one of several incidents at the Plutonium Finishing Plant during the past six months, including incidents of skin contamination.”
http://www.tri-cityherald.com/news/local/hanford/article50600355.html

More at link. THere aren't any rules for how often stored radioactive materials are inspected. This container had not been opened in 26 years and radioactive decay probably resulted in helium, pressurizing the container. Reading the whole thing, it's just sad that the public is at the mercy of the nuclear industry. Protection offered by government to rebut regulation and oversight by the public has produced an industry lacking professional standards and knowledge and it shows. The recent Hanford (WA) "accident" reflects similar backward thinking and management.

“Happy to watch it..” makes me recoil in horror from your post. I will NEVER be happy to watch innocent people die.

This article paints an significantly different picture:
http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20170402/NEWS/170409987/firstenergy-makes-big-push-for-zero-emission-credits

“The cost of supporting some of the region’s aging nuclear power plants might be about to land on the bills of Ohio ratepayers, and that might include the cost of subsidizing a nuclear plant in Pennsylvania owed by Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp.

The firm is desperately hoping that Ohio legislators will take action this year to help it either maintain or sell off its nuclear fleet, which includes the Perry Nuclear Power Plant and the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station near Toledo, and a facility in Beaver County, Pennsylvania.”

It’s sad that “zero emissions” ignores the off-gassing of radioactive gases legally permitted. The OP ignores the existance of Fukushima and Hanford http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/washington-nuclear-tunnel-collapse-hanford-latest-news-updates-plutonium-plant-disaster-a7726866.html

I meant public assistance -welfare etc. because somehow these people have time for this activity and because they didn’t mention work places for either man.

I’m guessing these guys might have been on federal assistance but that’s just me being bitter.
