Uh oh "factional rift" amongst the ZOOMERS. This is too funny.
From a thread by Demovictory9 Donald Jr. gets heckled off stage BY THEIR OWN CULT MEMBERS.At first, Trump and Guilfoyle tried to ignore the discontent, which originated with a fringe group of America Firsters who believe the Trump administration has been taken captive by a cabal of internationalists, free-traders, and apologists for mass immigration.
The fiasco pointed to a factional rift on the Trump-supporting conservative right that has been growing rapidly in recent weeks, particularly among “zoomers” – student-age activists. On one side are one of the sponsors of Trump Jr’s book tour, Turning Point USA, a campus conservative group with a track record of bringing provocative rightwing speakers to liberal universities.
On the other side are far-right activists – often referred to as white supremacists and neo-Nazis, although many of them reject such labels – who believe in slamming the door on all immigrants, not just those who cross the border without documents, and who want an end to America’s military and diplomatic engagement with the wider world.
A number of the loudest voices at Sunday’s event were supporters of Nick Fuentes, a 21-year-old activist with a podcast called America First that has taken particular aim at Turning Point USA and its 25-year-old founder, Charlie Kirk. In a number of his own recent campus appearances, Kirk has faced questions accusing him of being more interested in supporting Israel than in putting America first. He has responded by calling his detractors conspiracists and racists.
On Sunday, Kirk appeared alongside Trump Jr. and Guilfoyle but said nothing.
Two Fuentes supporters, delighted with the outcome of Trump Jr’s appearance, later told the Guardian the pro-Trump movement was being infected with “fake conservatism” and that the president himself was at the mercy of a cabal of deep state operatives who wouldn’t let him do many of the things he campaigned on.

Berlin Wall. Funny story I heard from an Army guy who stayed in Germany.
This was from a guy in the Army who met a German woman and stayed. He got a job in public works. At the time he was on some sort of disability so he had to order food by 8 PM in order to stay in the bar (Country Western place). The Germans are exact about that sort of thing.
So the story goes that works were being done on the streets shadowed by the wall. Tools are left there because... Germany. The bars spill out and someone picks up a axe or something and someone says "F it" and starts hammering. Others join in. The police aren't sure what to do and time makes it hard to do anything. The hammering continues.
One person is an crime, 10 people are an incident, 20 people are a mob.
It continued on through the night. World leaders decided overnight.. let it go.
Anyway that's the way I heard it.
Trump just shown at LSU - Al Abama football game. Cheering crowd.
That was the clear presentation by CBS. Probably was.
So .... the Alabama vote is secure. It would appear.
Next play, Bama's QB inexplicably fumbled the ball on the LSU 5 yard line. LSU recovered.
Kentucky- Stivers suggests a majorly d___ move. Decide election in legislature
Senate president: Kentucky governor's race could be decided by state legislature
Kentucky Senate President Robert Stivers threw another wrench into the state's razor-thin gubernatorial outcome late Tuesday night, saying that the legislature could decide the race.
Stivers, R-Manchester, said based on his staff’s research, the decision could come before the Republican-controlled state legislature.
---someone tell what the hell this has to do with ANYTHING ----
Stivers said he thought Bevin’s speech declining to concede to Beshear was “appropriate.” He said believes most of the votes that went to Libertarian John Hicks, who received about 2% of the total vote, would have gone to Bevin and made him the clear winner.

A BEE WITH TWO FATHERS AND NO MOTHER HAS BEEN DISCOVERED
Newsweek title in all caps
Thanks to Floyd R. Turbo for leading me here
Scientists have found a female bee that had two fathers and no mother in the first documented case of its kind.
Honeybees are known as haplodiploid. This is a system of sex determination—females come from fertilized eggs, while males are the result of unfertilized eggs. But in one to two percent of cases, another system emerges—"sex mosaics." These bees are known as gynandromorphs and they develop from several cell lines of different origin and different sex.
Sarah Aamidor, from the University of Sydney, Australia, and colleagues, were investigating gynandromorph bees to better understand the flexibility of honeybee reproduction. While scientists know gynandromorphs emerge as a result of a genetic mutation, how and why it happens is not clear.
Most of the bees were found to have three or four parental origins—with two or three fathers to one mother. But their results also showed that one bee had been produced from two fathers and no mother. It lacked any maternal genetic material, so the scientists propose it was created by a fusion of two sperm.

What's Irish bacon? 🥓
What's Irish bacon? I asked to the cashier at the corner breakfast place.
Cashier: it's as if ham and bacon had a baby.

PG&E. Are powerlines normally this "sparky"?
I feel like a part of the equation is missing.
I don't know that the powerlines I've seen are in any way a threat to start a fire.
Has PG&E's maintenance been THAT slack?
Have regulations been cut that much...in California?
Is PG&E THAT powerful? - God knows Dominion Power owns part of the General Assembly here.
