Maui Fires or Burning Man: which is getting more attention?

Grabbed these headlines from a search a little over an hour ago using DDG. They appear as duplicated, in the order below.

One guy dies at Burning Man in what's described as a drug OD. Hundreds still missing from the Maui Fires. Which story MSM feed result is first?

Those crazy, non-MSM conspiracy boards say companies like BlackRock and other inven$tment agencies are making offers of pennies on the dollar to buy land from those who lost everything. Please ignore the lunatic assertions that homes and buildings that were painted blue is a Psy-Op only, which is why DEWs didn't burn them. Maui isn't being transformed into a paradise for the liberal world elite. Pure disinformation.

What will be the Next Big Distraction to grab the attention of the masses?

31 Abrams Main Battle Tanks for Ukraine, says Resident Diaper.

Breitbart: President Joe Biden announced Wednesday afternoon he has approved sending 31 Abrams M1 main battle tanks to Ukraine, in an escalation of U.S. support for the war as it nears the one-year mark.

The Guardian: Missile that hit Poland likely came from Ukraine defences, say Warsaw and Nato.

 

Poland says no evidence to suggest missile was launched by Russia – but Kyiv insists ‘it was not our rocket’.

Never in my life have I seen Democrats displaying such turgid tumescence for a war that the U.S. has no business involving itself in. Of course, this is an important conflict for all the personal grift, enrichment and money-laundering for the families of Biden, Pelosi, Romney and Kerry. AND Mitch McWorthless.

$2.5 Billion U.S. DoD drawdown for Ukraine to, "meet Ukraine’s critical security and defense needs."

U.S. Department of Defense: Biden Administration Announces Additional Security Assistance for Ukraine.

Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announces the authorization of a Presidential Drawdown of security assistance to meet Ukraine’s critical security and defense needs. This authorization, which is valued at up to $2.5 billion, is the Biden Administration’s thirtieth drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021. It contains hundreds of armored vehicles, critical support for Ukraine’s air defense, and other important capabilities including: ...

...A bunch o' $tuff. Hit the link.

A reminder from February 2015, The Guardian:  Welcome to Ukraine, the most corrupt nation in Europe.

How nice of Biden's handlers to care so much about Ukraine's security and defense needs.

Tonight on 60 Minutes: Biden ready to deploy U.S. Troops to Taiwan if China attacks.

Biden says, oh yeah, there will be U.S. Troops fighting along side Taiwan against China.

White House "says", no this won't happen. 

Biden says, "yes it will."

"White House official says...". Who - who is the WH official? Name(s), please.

Who's running this hollow, rudderless government?

The Anti-War Ghosts of Liberals' Past who condemned even mentioning the U.S. getting involved in a foreign conflict or war are mute.

"Biden said war? Oooooooh, we'll remain dutifully silent, if not supportive later. Because...Taiwan...and...uh...umm...reasons..."

John Bolton in Doha, Qatar for personal business?

There are many business opportunities in Qatar. Maybe he's considering franchising Bolton's Laundry and Car Wash.

John Bolton wastes no time telling us why it was a great idea that Trump fired him.

The Daily Mail: Bolton calls Donald Trump's efforts with Iran and North Korea 'doomed to failure' as he unloads on his old boss.

'[Bolton] ripped Trump, without using his name, several times,' one attendee said.

"'Without using his name...,' one attendee said."  Well, that's certainly solid, huh?

No matter. It's good Bolton, a trigger-happy, enthusiastic war-salivating globalist, is out of the picture. He's probably negotiating an hour long, nightly program with MSNBC to replace Dutch Maddox.

D-Day June 6, 1944: 75 years later.

"You are about to embark on the great crusade toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you… I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle."
 – Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower from National D Day Memorial

History On The Net: D-Day; The Invasion of Normandy

The D-Day landing of June 6, 1944, ranks as the boldest and most successful large-scale invasion in military history.

On June 6, as Operation Overlord went forward, roughly 160,000 Allied troops crossed the English Channel, supported by seven thousand ships and boats, and landed on the coast of Normandy. The seaborne invasion included nearly 5,000 landing and assault craft, 289 escort vessels, and 277 minesweepers. They established a beachhead from which the Germans were unable to dislodge them. Within ten days, there were half a million troops ashore, and within three weeks there were two million.

Washington Examiner: D-Day remembered: The view from Omaha Beach.

For the final 200 yards on the water, the German machine guns would already have been riddling their Higgins boats. Then, unceremoniously dumped into frigid, churning water, colleagues exploding in blood all around them, they would have found themselves finally on dry ground but without refuge from the Nazi weapons.

Weighted with wet clothes and hefty equipment, they had to make it 400 yards through flesh-ripping fire. In gym shorts and track shoes, most of these men might make it in about 80 seconds after a lung-busting run. Now imagine trying it with 60 pounds on your back or in your arms. And do it while running into the horrors of mechanized firepower.

Armed Forces Day May 18, 2019

National Today: Armed Forces Day.

Armed Forces Day is a special holiday for people all over the world to come together and thank the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. First conceived by President Harry S. Truman, the holiday was established in 1949. The creation of a single day celebration for all five branches of the United States military made sense due to its recent unification under the Department of Defense. Today, Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday of every May. Be sure to mark your calendar & support our military!

Happy 4th of July - Independence Day!

A Happy and Safe Independence Day / 4th of July to All.

And let us never forget the significance of this day.  Military.com:

On July 4, 1776, the thirteen colonies claimed their independence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States.
[.]
In a June 7 session in the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall), Richard Henry Lee of Virginia presented a resolution with the famous words: "Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved."

And to those who served or currently serve in any branch of the U.S. Military, who served to protect our freedoms and who put their lives on the line for our freedoms, this day would not exist if not for you. God Bless you.

U.S. Blackhawk down near Hawaii

Pray people...pray.

From The Telegraph:

Officials at Wheeler Army Airfield, near Honolulu, reported losing communications with the crew of a UH-60 Black Hawk at around 10pm local time on Tuesday (9am BST).

Trump Orders Syrian Airstrikes

Syria. I have to think most everyone is aware of the U.S. airstrikes ordered by President Donald Trump in response to Syrian Despot and Leader, Bashar al-Assad, using the chemical weapon of toxic gas against his own people.

There is nothing I can write that others haven't already written about the deaths of the Syrian people.

Trump's response of missile attacks? Entirely appropriate.

The sad part is, Russia offered a solution to oust Assad:

...the Russian offer in 2012 to end the growing civil war in Syria by forcing the country's dictator, Bashar al-Assad, to leave power. The Russian proposal went before the UN Security Council, but the United States, Britain and France were so convinced that Assad was about to fall anyway that they turned it down. Why let the Russians take the credit?

The gassing, deaths and injured Syrian people squarely rests on the heads of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry and other Democrats whose entire foreign policy consists of ignoring and/or appeasement of tyrants.

They HAD the opportunity in 2012...but to quote the above story excerpt, "why let the Russians take the credit?" Indeed.

Albright & Kimmy, October 23 / 24, 2000. Topic:
Appeasement.

Bill Clinton, when president, did NOTHING about North Korea other than to appease Kim Jong Il.

Then Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright described Kim Jong Il as "rational and pragmatic." She added while he is isolated, he is not uninformed.

And Clinton and Company did zero other than appease North Korea. And fairly, either did George W. Bush. And WE KNOW Obama and Company did less than Clinton and Albright.

By the way, did you know that the U.S. still has Soldiers on the ground in Kosovo? Yeah, this dates back to Clinton and Company. How about that?
