Answer, (from the WaPo), lots of loud noisy machines in the rural areas and … Ta Da! We have and use firearms! And of course none of us are smart enough to wear and use hearing protection, though they don’t seem to know that such things exist.
Who gets the joke? …
The entire interview is over two hours long. I haven’t sat through the whole thing yet, may not, but it’s interesting and Putin presents well.
Of the first half hour I’ve watched, I don’t hold the same opinion that Putin expresses on the subjects covered but there was nothing that was completely false. He’s not lying. I don’t think many American politicians could talk for over half an hour without descending into complete BS.
The money quote…

I’m not sure what provoked Tucker Carlson to actually follow through on this plan; I know he was deeply worried about being arrested in Russia. However, Carlson did something every U.S. journalist should do, even though they are forbidden by the State Dept from doing it.
The reason the U.S. Government doesn’t want people traveling into Russia, is specifically because people will tell the experience of their time in Russia, and that will run completely counter to the acceptable narrative. Tucker Carlson took the chance, and the intelligence apparatus is likely going bananas.
Everywhere the motels are being turned over to the state and its “NGO” proxies. They are rebranded, if you will, into flophouses for the “migrants” who are now enjoying permanent all-expenses-paid vacations at the taxpayers’ expense.
The other day, a former radio coworker of mine sent me this photo from the Holiday Inn in Marlboro with its vaguely ominous sign:
“Hotel Closed to Public.”
I tweeted out the photo with a brief explanation of what had happened. I was surprised when the photo got far more clicks than anything I’ve ever posted.
The next day, the “hotel” removed the sign and replaced it with something smaller and slightly less obvious.
“Hotel Is Currently Closed.”
There are 200-plus families, he begins, and more than 500 people currently living at the (facility).
It’s not only a roof over their heads and three squares a day, but “free” diapers, wipes, toiletries, free tablets and phones, free English lessons, state case workers making sure all entitlements are taken, free Uber and Lyft rides, free bus passes from (redacted).
All with no end in sight.
All are going to the (redacted) immigration office in Ubers… round trip is more than $130 per trip.
All get DTA (Department of Transitional Assistance, i.e., welfare) benefits, EBT cards. They have more expendable cash than I do.
If DCF (Department of Children & Families) says they need a crib, stroller, toys, etc., management is required order them. Everything is new and arrives the next day from Amazon.
They all have MassHealth, free legal services, free tax-filing services.
Most now have Social Security cards and many are getting work permits, as many have been in the “shelter” for months.
Colorado House Bill 24-1163 enters a new level of big government and big taxes. The bill will add a new tax of up to $8.50 (but actually up to $25) on EACH pet and it includes ALL animals, even invertebrates. The tax is paid every year. It also requires every pet to be registered with the State and assigned a “designated caregiver.” If you do not name a “designated caregiver,” the cost for each pet is $25 annually. There is no cap or per household type of maximum taxation. This will also be in addition to any local taxes (like dog licenses).

At no point during her medical or surgical transition, Powell says, did anyone ask her about the reasons behind her gender dysphoria or her depression. At no point was she asked about her sexual orientation. And at no point was she asked about any previous trauma, and so neither the therapists nor the doctors ever learned that she’d been sexually abused as a child.
“I wish there had been more open conversations,” Powell, now 23 and detransitioned, told me. “But I was told there is one cure and one thing to do if this is your problem, and this will help you.”
Long read, but worth it…
… article shows that Trump was the 7th man E Jean Carroll has accused of rape. The woman is twisted and obsessed… And the jury took three hours to award her 83 million dollars to punish Donald Trump for denying he assaulted Carroll and saying he thinks she’s a lair.
And Nikki Haley is dead fish …
The AP admits that the New York State fraud prosecution against Trump — in which “Tish” James is seeking $400 million+ in non-damages because Trump evaluated his assets and “Tish” James disagrees with those evaluations — is entirely unprecedented, and no person has ever before been prosecuted for what the state claims is mis-evaluating their assets where no one was defrauded or even lost any money at all.
Within days, Donald Trump could potentially have his sprawling real estate business empire ordered “dissolved” for repeated misrepresentations on financial statements to lenders, adding him to a short list of scam marketers, con artists and others who have been hit with the ultimate punishment for violating New York’s powerful anti-fraud law.
An Associated Press analysis of nearly 70 years of civil cases under the law showed that such a penalty has only been imposed a dozen previous times, and Trump’s case stands apart in a significant way: It’s the only big business found that was threatened with a shutdown without a showing of obvious victims and major losses.
The banks that would have been the so-called victims of Donald Trump’s “crime” were repaid the loaned amount in full including the agreed upon interest, not just on-time, but early.
It’s entirely a coincidence I’m sure that the over half billion in fines, judgements and legal fees if seized would cripple President Trump’s ability to pay for his election campaign.
