10 Things Your Husband Hates about Church

Lieutenant Colonel John Kolb, the former battalion commander for the unit that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) has been accused of abandoning before it was deployed to Iraq, slammed the 60-year-old Democrat this week for stolen valor. Kolb’s comments come as Walz has faced several days of controversy over misconstruing his service record and his exit from the National Guard. “Feeling a need to say this: I do not regret that Tim Walz retired early from the Minnesota Army National Guard, did not complete the Sergeants Major Academy, broke his enlistment contract or did not successfully complete any assignment as a Sergeant Major,” said Kolb. “Unwittingly, he got out of the way for better leadership. Thomas Behrends was the right leader at the right time.” Kolb noted that Behrends, not Walz, “sacrificed to answer the call, leaving his family, business and farming-partner brother to train, lead and care for soldiers.” “He earned the privilege of being called Command Sergeant Major,” he said. “Like a great leader he ran toward and not away from the guns.” WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI Kolb said that Walz “did not earn the rank or successfully complete any assignment as an E9” and that his claim that he did “is an affront to the Noncommissioned Officer Corps.” “I can sit in the cockpit of an airplane, it does not make me a pilot,” he added. “Similarly, when the demands of service and leadership at the highest level got real, he chose another path.” Colonel John Kolb — Tim Walz’s battalion commander and direct supervisor — TRASHES Walz’s stolen valor lies: “It is an affront to the noncommissioned officer corps that he continues to glom onto the title.

When this cat mom brought home a new kitten, she was a little concerned about what her older feline’s reaction would be. However, it turns out that there was nothing to worry about. After an initial adjustment period, Blue Belle seems to have accepted the kitty as a member of the family. In fact, she might just be more attached to the little guy than their owner! Lisa caught the most adorable footage of her cat cuddling with the new kitten, named Arthur. Blue Belle seemed very protective of her new friend, laying a paw on the smaller animal and licking his face affectionately. From time to time, she’d meow at her owner, as if trying to communicate something. Watching their behavior together, you’d guess these two were mother and son! @fleur.de.lis2 #cat #adoption #rescuecat #catlife #catvideo #catmum #kitten #animals ♬ Little Things – Adrian Berenguer Although Lisa was originally nervous about her cat’s reaction to her introducing a new kitten into the house, she didn’t really have a choice. What else was she supposed to do when she found an abandoned animal with such a sweet face? Thankfully, everything worked out in the end! Commenters loved this older cat’s reaction to having a kitten to care for. Many joked that Arthur doesn’t belong to Lisa at all, but to Blue Belle! “He is NOT your kitten, it is hers now,” wrote one user. Others were in awe at how quickly the cat’s motherly instincts kicked in. Screengrab from TikTok “Oh the way she’s grooming him like a natural mother is beautiful,” someone said. Another person added, “He is not abandoned anymore.” It’s truly amazing to see these two cats bonding with one another. Even though they’re not related by blood, they’re definitely family now! We’re so glad that Arthur has a loving home. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

The Establishment Are Fighting Like Cornered Rats

The United Kingdom has released new voluntary codes of practice for the treatment of crabs, lobsters, and prawns, codes that the organization Crustacean Compassion has stated aren’t in keeping with the recent Animal Welfare Bill that recognized these animals as sentient beings capable of feeling pain.The guidance published by Seafish on August 2, 2024, is “a missed opportunity” to improve animal welfare according to Crustacean Compassion, leaving legal wiggle room that means the seafood industry is still permitted to carry out the following:Boiling aliveFreezing to deathTearing animals apart while still aliveRemoval of their clawsCutting of tendons to immobilize clawsThe sale of live decapods to members of the public“The seafood industry is using smoke and mirrors to give the illusion of improving animal welfare whilst still allowing animals to suffer needlessly,” said Dr Ben Sturgeon, CEO of Crustacean Compassion, in a release.“The codes were a chance to build on the recognition of sentience in decapod crustaceans, but instead they are an exercise in doing nothing and will set back welfare standards for years to come. We’ve developed our own codes that clearly outline what higher welfare looks like for decapods and we encourage all seafood businesses to follow these if they want to be fit for the future.” The UK's 2021 Animal Welfare (Sentience) Bill followed a review of over 300 studies and found “strong scientific evidence decapod crustaceans and cephalopod mollusks are sentient”. Sentience refers to an animal's ability to have subjective experiences, such as pleasure, pain, fear, and other emotions, as Michaella Pereira Andrade and Tatiana Leite, members of the Wild Animal Initiative’s octopus sentience investigation team, told IFLScience.The 2021 review recommended against using a variety of current commercial practices involving these animals, including live boiling without stunning, extreme slaughter methods, transporting the animals in icy water, and the sale of live crustaceans to untrained handlers. However, it seems these recent codes of practice aren’t in keeping with that message.Crustacean Compassion therefore considers this a missed opportunity not only to improve the welfare of these sentient animals but also to improve the reputation of the UK seafood industry.“With public awareness around decapod welfare growing rapidly, we’re seeing more retailers respond by setting a higher bar for their suppliers,” Dr Sturgeon said. “People want to feel good about the food they eat, and they expect supermarkets to ensure the highest standards of animal welfare.“At a time when the UK government, and the fishing industry, seeks to encourage more people to eat British seafood, it is vital that the high welfare expectations of today’s consumers are met. The UK is rightly proud of our standards of animal welfare – it is only fitting that these levels increase as our scientific understanding of sentience and other welfare factors improves.”
