An employee at a Kansas Walmart relates her encounter with a 'snake-eyed' boy who was ranting about a lost ID. The boy later confronted another employee who freaked out!I received the following account:"It was the Fall of 1998. I suddenly found myself separated from my husband and with two preteen children to support. Living in a small Kansas town‚ there was very limited employment options. I needed to remain close to home to attempt to keep a handle on preteen adolescents and still keep a roof over our heads.It was convenient when I saw an ad for workers at our local Walmart. The store was converting to a superstore and needed staff 24/7. So I applied. I got hired on as a department manager.I got dug in. I laid out the department and everything on the shelves on the day of the opening‚ including the shelves themselves‚ was put there by my two hands.The new store opened and school had started so I tried to keep my hours mostly to accommodate that‚ but weekend work was mandatory. Usually‚ I got to work early‚ There was only light register staff and I’d be the first department manager on the floor. It was early days for the new store‚ but the majority of the setup crew had departed the job site.One morning I arrived even earlier than usual. I had timed in and was just about to leave the freight room‚ when a young boy‚ about the age of my own two kids‚ rushed past me‚ nearly knocking me over. He started sputtering something about how his “ID” had been lost and he had to see CCTV to see who picked it up.The first thing weird about this is that I didn’t know this kid. My kids grew up in this town and being a small town‚ I thought I knew all the kids from town and all parts around. The second weird thing was‚ back in 1998‚ it would be very unusual for any small-town preteen to have an ID of any kind.I told him I knew nothing about it‚ but he could follow me back to the office to inquire. There was only one lady back in the office. She was a member of the set-up team and had been responsible for hiring me. I left him with her after a short explanation and went out on the floor to begin my day. But I had forgotten my scanner. So‚ I turned my heel and went back into the office area to get one.Immediately I could hear this kid becoming very aggressive with my co-worker. He was ranting on; insisting that he view the CCTV tape immediately! The Human Resources officer was trying to calmly explain to him that only security staff and the store manager could view it‚ and she would pass on his concern.Worried about my coworker’s safety‚ I crept closer to the door‚ which remained open. His back was to me‚ but looking past him I could clearly see‚ her whitened shocked face.The boy‚ sensing my presence‚ swung around and stormed past me and I assume‚ flew out of the building.“Did you see his eyes?“ she exclaimed!Though in fact‚ I had‚ I said nothing. I think I was basically gobsmacked. And as it turned out‚ I never again spoke to her. That was the last time I saw her. When I inquired after her‚ I was told she was transferred‚ though others whispered‚ that she had been fired by the home office.The third weird thing was‚ look into the eye of a snake‚ and you will know what I saw as the boy fled by me.(provided by witness)You are welcome to use this story‚ but please do not use my name. This is a true story and detailed to the best of my memory.Thank you‚ J"Top Secret Alien Abduction Files: What the Government Doesn't Want You to KnowMILABS: Military Mind Control and Alien AbductionThe Secret History of the Reptilians: The Pervasive Presence of the Serpent in Human History‚ Religion and Alien MythosUnderwater &; Underground Bases: Surprising Facts the Government Does Not Want You to KnowUNDERGROUND BASES &; TUNNELS: What is the Government Trying to Hide?ALIEN DISCLOSURE: EXPERIENCERS EXPOSE REALITY - AudiobookRegister a SNAP EBT CardTHE MEME HUMANOIDS: MODERN MYTHS OR REAL MONSTERS - AudiobookTry Audible PlusPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTFeel Free to Post PHANTOMS &; MONSTERS DIRECT LINKS ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA &; WEBSITE.

Maybe It's Time to Pardon Derek Chauvin

Feminists have a funny way of supporting women. They rage against sexist jokes but stand down when Republican women are mocked. They cry “MeToo‚” but fall silent when a Democrat is accused of sexual assault. They rally behind Hollywood starlets getting equal pay but hid when Gina Carano got unfairly fired from Disney for speaking “her truth.” Now‚ that feminist hypocrisy is back following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks on Israel which included the torture and rape of many women. And Mayim Bialik has had enough.   There has been an abhorrent and conspicuous absence of women’s organizations around the world unequivocally condemning the systematic rape and torture of women on October 7 by Hamas. Brutal gang rapes‚ sexual torture‚ and murder of fetuses happened- period. Where are the “BELIEVE… — Mayim Bialik (@missmayim) November 26‚ 2023   The veteran TV star (“the Big Bang Theory‚” “Blossom”) sent out a blistering message on X about feminists falling silent when it mattered the most. There has been an abhorrent and conspicuous absence of women’s organizations around the world unequivocally condemning the systematic rape and torture of women on October 7 by Hamas. Brutal gang rapes‚ sexual torture‚ and murder of fetuses happened- period. Where are the “BELIEVE THEM” voices? These crimes against women were in many cases documented by the terrorists themselves and broadcast for the world to see. It’s not a matter of believing one side of the other‚ which is often the case in sexual assault cases. We have the proof. The ghouls who committed the acts proudly captured it on video. Those of us who have fought for women’s rights and have sought to shout from the rooftops when women’s bodies are being used in war for the sadistic pleasure of perpetrators are astounded at how the world has been silent surrounding this. The UN (U.N. Women – the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women) took 50 days to express “alarm”… Progressive feminists of the world: where are you? Where‚ indeed? The National Organization for Women has been as silent as any group. This reporter read every Tweet from the feminist group since early October (and there were many). Just one touched on the current Middle East crisis. One. We are witnessing the tragedies that are occurring in #Israel and #Palestine. Innocent #women and children must be safeguarded. NOW stands with women and children around the globe. They must be protected! pic.twitter.com/h2OqNuusQr — National NOW (@NationalNOW) October 13‚ 2023     The post in question is generic and brimming with moral relativism. Are Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian women? Who started the current conflict? Plus‚ the post came six days after the worst terrorist attack in recent memory. The lack of urgency is profound and telling. Some noticed.   You didn’t mention the use of rape as a weapon. You didn’t condemn Hamas. You are silent a mothers getting their fetus ripped out of their womb‚ or babies burned alive. You are a disgrace to real feminists‚ like me who marched in the 1970s. — LD #🟦 (@LDBirdywatcher) November 22‚ 2023   It’s important to note that NOW’s X account is very active and touches on many different political and cultural issues. Whoever is overseeing the account had to try very‚ very hard to avoid Hamas’ atrocities. And they did just that. The group’s blog also neglects to mention the Hamas attacks or how its terrorists singled out and savaged women in the worst ways possible. The Feminist Majority Foundation’s news page lacks a single story tied to Hamas’ ghastly attacks. The group publishes Ms. Magazine‚ and its lightly-used X account makes no mention of Oct. 7. Hollywood feminists have been similarly mute on the subject. Yes‚ some actresses have stood strong on the issue from the beginning‚ including Debra Messing‚ Amy Schumer‚ Patricia Heaton and Gal Gadot. What about the actresses who joined the Women’s March every year of President Donald Trump’s presidency?      Bari Weiss noticed‚ too.   Good question. Is there a single major feminist or women’s rights organization that has unequivocally condemned these horrors? https://t.co/Gt1O3BHvYA — Bari Weiss (@bariweiss) November 28‚ 2023   So did Dan Bongino.   Fascinating how little we hear from the #MeToo movement about the sexual torture of women by the Hamas demons. Weird right? — Dan Bongino (@dbongino) November 28‚ 2023  

In an overlooked congressional hearing last week‚ Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Commissioner Mark Christie sounded the alarm about the “catastrophic state” of the U.S. energy grid. Christie opened the hearing by explaining his cause for concern: "The United States is heading for a reliability crisis. I do not use the term 'crisis' for melodrama but because it is an accurate description of what we are facing. I think anyone would regard an increasing threat of system-wide‚ extensive power outages as a crisis." 'Catastrophic situation': FERC Commissioner Christie warns America's power grid is in big trouble youtu.be Summary The U.S. grid is facing a catastrophic capacity shortage in the next seven years. As more and more “dispatchable” power stations go offline‚ they are being replaced with “non-dispatchable‚” renewable energy inputs that give us less ability to dial the power up and down to meet changing grid demands. Dispatchable resources are options like nuclear‚ coal‚ and gas. These plants have electricity output that can be varied at the command of power companies to meet the changing demands of the grid. Non-dispatchable resources are wind‚ solar‚ and thermal plants‚ which have output that varies based on nature and can’t be dialed up or down by power companies as demand fluctuates. The U.S. is increasingly copying the German model of a move to green energy despite its inherent limitations. The grid in the U.S. is increasingly falling into disrepair and will require a herculean effort of money and resources to maintain its current output level. Nuclear could be a viable alternative‚ but because of draconian regulations‚ it’s nearly impossible to build more reactors. Traditional coal and natural gas power plants are being retired early and at an unsustainable rate‚ and the new‚ green power generation resources that are coming online – mainly wind and solar – make the grid less predictable because they vary with weather and sunlight patterns. “Dispatchable generating resources are retiring far too quickly and in quantities that threaten our ability to keep the lights on. The problem generally is not the addition of intermittent resources‚ primarily wind and solar‚ but the far too rapid subtraction of dispatchable resources‚ especially coal and gas‚” Christie explained. In our rush to go green‚ we’re reaching a perilous tipping point where our aging grid is straining to keep up with the ever-increasing supply needs for the country. While renewable power sources like wind and solar add much-needed power‚ they are insufficient to power the grid. The truly green answer‚ of course‚ is to build more nuclear plants‚ and barring that we should at least stop shutting down our coal and gas plants early. As is is‚ though‚ the amount of dispatchable power is plummeting‚ so the country is accelerating toward a cliff. A recent New York Times article highlighted the situation for many struggling Americans. Rolling blackouts are becoming commonplace for people across the country‚ and those who can’t afford backup generators and the elderly are particularly at risk for this "new energy normal." This article fails to ask why‚ in the wealthiest country on earth‚ with abundant energy resources‚ citizens have to buy generators to keep the lights on. Spoiler: It's climate change. Not all energy is created equal PAUL ELLIS via Getty Images In his testimony‚ Mr. Christie makes it very clear that the issues facing the grid are much more complex than we’ve previously been led to believe. As municipalities integrated more solar and wind options into the grid‚ we were promised this would make up for the retirement of fossil fuel plants. However‚ it’s becoming increasingly clear that these projections fall well short of what is required. Additionally‚ as more data has come in‚ the energy produced by renewables appears to be much less efficient. Renewables often have a lower capacity value than conventional fossil fuel-based power plants such as coal‚ natural gas‚ and nuclear power. Capacity value‚ or capacity credit‚ measures how much energy a power plant can produce over a given period compared to its maximum potential output. One of the main challenges associated with renewable energy sources like solar and wind power is their intermittent and variable nature. These “non-dispatchable” energy sources depend on weather conditions and the time of day‚ which can be unpredictable and inconsistent. For example‚ solar power generation is limited to daylight hours and is affected by cloud cover‚ while wind power generation depends on the presence and strength of wind. In contrast‚ dispatchable power plants‚ like those based on fossil fuels or nuclear fission‚ can produce electricity continuously and consistently as long as they have a steady fuel supply‚ allowing them to maintain a higher capacity value‚ as they can operate at or near their maximum output more consistently. The intermittency and variability of renewable energy sources create a need for energy storage solutions to balance supply and demand. However‚ large-scale energy storage technologies‚ such as batteries or pumped hydro storage‚ are still relatively expensive and have limited capacities‚ and their production is controlled by the People’s Republic of China. On the other hand‚ fossil fuel power plants can store significant amounts of fuel on-site to generate electricity when needed‚ thereby maintaining a higher capacity value. So as we’re losing vast amounts of energy capacity‚ it’s being replaced with renewable energy that is much less efficient. As Christie testified: Just a few weeks ago‚ Manu Asthana‚ the CEO of the PJM regional transmission organization — the largest RTO in the country in terms of consumers served — said that PJM faced the likelihood of losing 40 gigawatts of generation capacity by 2030 through early retirements of generating units. 90% of this retiring capacity is dispatchable generation‚ primarily coal and gas. Meanwhile PJM faces load growth of an additional 13 gigawatts by 2030. The PJM interconnection queue‚ however‚ largely consists of intermittent generation‚ primarily wind and solar. In terms of capacity value — which is the amount of power that can be supplied to the grid when needed — one nameplate megawatt of wind or solar is simply not equal to one nameplate megawatt of gas‚ coal‚ or nuclear. So even if every unit waiting in the PJM interconnection queue was interconnected‚ that would not solve the reliability problem caused by too-rapid loss of dispatchable generation. The numbers just do not balance. EU energy utopias The ongoing war in the Ukraine has highlighted the precarious energy situation of European member states‚ especially Germany. For decades Europe has pushed a green narrative increasingly disconnected from the reality of powering a continent. With the highly suspicious destruction of the Nordstream 2‚ Germany has lost its main natural gas supply from Russia. While the Germans have been scrambling to find alternative sources‚ including Norway and the U.S.‚ the skyrocketing costs have crippled German industry. Despite these setbacks‚ Germany remains committed to its green push‚ even if it endangers its economy. Last month the country shut down its last nuclear power plant‚ meaning the German grid will have to survive solely on natural gas and the shifting reliability of renewables. This move confused even environmentalists‚ who questioned why leaders would shutter a completely clean energy supply in the middle of a war. Despite a 20-year effort and billions of euros spent‚ Germany still relies on fossil fuels for over 75% of its energy. Because the Germans have closed their coal and nuclear plants‚ most of this energy is now imported. Unfortunately‚ the U.S. is increasingly adopting this same model of planned energy collapse. As Doomberg points out on Substack: “Given Germany’s multi-year lead in the race to the energy bottom‚ how events unfold as the implementation of Energiewende enters its final stages will be an instructive case study in the disastrous consequences of pursuing green utopian fantasies.”Failing grid ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS via Getty Images The United States power grid is aging and in dire need of upgrades and repairs. This complex network of power plants‚ substations‚ and transmission lines ensures electricity is generated and delivered to homes‚ businesses‚ and industries nationwide. However‚ decades of underinvestment and neglect have left the grid vulnerable to failures‚ cyberattacks‚ and the increasing demands of a rapidly changing energy landscape. Much of the grid was built between the 1950s and 1970s‚ and as a result‚ many components have reached or exceeded their expected life span. According to the American Society of Civil Engineers‚ the average age of power transformers in the United States is 40 years‚ and 70% of the transmission and distribution lines are over 25 years old. As these components age‚ they become more susceptible to failures‚ increasing the likelihood of blackouts and other disruptions. In addition‚ the outdated design of the grid makes it ill suited to handle the growing demands of a modern‚ digital society‚ as well as the increased integration of renewable energy sources. A point brought up by Christie in his testimony. “So even if every unit waiting in the PJM interconnection queue was interconnected‚ that would not solve the reliability problem caused by too-rapid loss of dispatchable generation.” Another major factor contributing to the poor state of the U.S. power grid is the lack of sufficient investment in its maintenance and modernization. The ASCE estimates that the U.S. needs to spend $208 billion on the power grid by 2025 to maintain its current performance levels. However‚ current investment levels are significantly below this target‚ creating a growing funding gap that will become increasingly difficult to close. The continued deterioration of the U.S. power grid poses significant risks to the nation's economy‚ national security‚ and public health. Persistent underinvestment and neglect could lead to more frequent and severe blackouts‚ disrupting essential services and causing billions of dollars in economic losses. A wasted nuclear solution Nuclear energy has been a clean‚ reliable‚ and sustainable power source since the 1950s. Despite its promising potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels‚ the United States has seen a decline in the growth of the nuclear power industry due to a combination of factors‚ with stringent regulations being one of the most significant. One of the primary ways that regulations have hindered the growth of nuclear energy in the United States is by imposing an excessive burden on existing nuclear plants. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission‚ established in 1974‚ regulates the nation's civilian use of nuclear materials. While the NRC has played a crucial role in ensuring the safety and security of nuclear power plants‚ the regulatory burden it imposes has often been criticized as overly burdensome and costly. Each nuclear power plant in the U.S. must comply with a wide range of regulatory requirements‚ including safety inspections‚ security measures‚ and emergency preparedness plans. While these requirements are essential to protect public health and safety‚ the cost of compliance can be enormous‚ often reaching hundreds of millions of dollars per facility. This financial burden has led to the premature closure of several nuclear plants‚ despite their continued safe and efficient operation. Moreover‚ the NRC's cautious approach to new technologies often results in a lengthy and expensive process for obtaining regulatory approval‚ discouraging investment in innovative nuclear technologies. This has led to a stagnation in the development of advanced reactors‚ limiting the potential for nuclear power to contribute to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. A perfect example is the ongoing cost overruns in the new nuclear power plant in eastern Georgia. It should be noted that this is the only new atomic facility being constructed‚ and it’s only an expansion of a pre-existing facility. Dark clouds on the horizon PJM‚ the nation’s largest electric grid operator‚ says it is at risk of losing 21% of its grid capacity by the end of the decade. Theoretically‚ we could build capacity to make up for these losses. However‚ with the current untenable regulatory structure and fanatical insistence on green energy solutions‚ it’s uncertain whether we can make up for this deficit. We are quickly heading toward a tipping point‚ where the energy problems seen in Europe and South America will be a part of daily life. The problem is the profoundly unserious nature of the United States government and the solutions it proposes. If the replacement capacity in the queue is entirely renewable‚ it will fail to provide enough gigawatts of power to keep the lights on. It might be time to invest in a generator.
