It’s surprising that the Democrats agreed to the debate — they must have known that in live TV their sycophantic Legacy media channels couldn’t alter and edit Joe’s demented statements.

You Want Butter With That?

Joe Biden looked horrible. How is this man still in office? He is made for the 25th Amendment. Congress had better remove him before he starts tossing the nuclear football. Yes, they claimed he had a cold, but he can’t use that to hide behind his abysmal performance.

He came across as an old man suffering from dementia. Normally that should draw sympathy, but Biden is president and it draws alarm. Joe spoke hesitantly and inarticulately. He relied on telling lies that have been disproven over and over again. There were times when he lost his train of thought entirely, resulting in an embarrassing word wreck. He could often be seen with a blank stare, as if there was nobody home. He didn’t blink for long periods of time.

—Ben Garrison

These are an inexpensive way of adding a feature of interest to a garden. They come in different colours, patterns and sizes.

Dictionary entry of the week

29 Saturday Jun 2024

Posted by Waikanae watchers in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

hyggelig — (Danish): cozy, comfortable, snug, homey (cognate with English hug).

This is a word which has made its way into German and in 2016 was considered as a new entry in the international English dictionaries like Merriam Webster, Cambridge and Oxford because of the frequency of its use in parts of America. But its usage wasn’t considered widespread enough elsewhere. It’s unlikely to be understood in NZ, except by small numbers of Scandinavians.

lithium-ion batteries are a safety hazard

This is your warning – City of Toronto launches lithium-ion battery safety campaign

Media Release, June 25, 2024

Toronto Fire Services, in partnership with the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal and the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs, launched a lithium-ion battery public safety and education campaign called “This is Your Warning” that highlights the fire risks associated with lithium-ion batteries in micromobility devices such as e-bikes.

In 2023, the number of lithium-ion battery-related fires in Toronto increased by 90 per cent compared to 2022. Already this year, there have been 15 fires involving lithium-ion batteries; seven of those fires were related to micromobility devices.

Lithium-ion batteries power many devices including smart phones, laptops, e-bikes and toys. They are generally safe but can pose a significant risk if not handled carefully. Lithium-ion batteries store a large amount of energy in a small amount of space and they can pose potential fire safety hazards if not used properly.

To prevent lithium-ion battery related fires, the City’s public education campaign will share information on the risks associated with tampering or using uncertified batteries and why it’s important to safely charge and properly store and dispose of batteries.

Tips on how to use lithium-ion batteries safely:

  • Keep the lithium-ion battery in sight while charging
  •  Never tamper with or modify a battery.
  • Only use certified, manufacturer-approved batteries.
  • Stop using the lithium-ion battery and contact the manufacturer if there are any of the following problem signs.
    o Odour
    o Change in colour
    o Too much heat
    o Change in shape
    o Leaking
    o Odd noises
  • Dispose of old or damaged batteries at a City Drop-off Depot or at a Community Environment Day.

Visit the City’s lithium-ion Battery webpage to learn more about the campaign and lithium-ion battery fire safety.

Quote:

“Lithium-ion batteries are commonplace for us all as they are in use in a wide variety of devices that are part of our daily lives, such as e-scooters and e-bikes. This modern convenience is coupled with the risk of devastating fires. Today, in partnership with the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office and the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs, we launch a new fire safety campaign to educate on the potential hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries and empower residents in Toronto and across the province with the knowledge to safeguard themselves, their property, and others.”
– Matthew Pegg, Chief, Toronto Fire Services

Iran moves into Somalia

Another invasion opportunity for Biden & Blinken. All the Democrats and all the RINOs in Congress are sure to approve it and allocate tens of billions more dollars for it.

by Daniel Greenfield  

Current reports suggest that the Houthis, an Iranian Shiite terror group, is negotiating to provide weapons to Yemen’s Al-Shabaab, a Sunni Jihadist group allied with Al Qaeda, to expand Iran’s control over shipping. While Al-Shabaab has operated using the conventional Al Qaeda playbook of rifles and IEDs, the Houthis can offer upgraded drones and missile technology.

After six months of Iran using its Houthi Jihadis to impose a blockade near Yemen while defying Biden to do anything about it, the Islamic global terror state is moving on to a Somali blockade.

Current reports suggest that the Houthis, an Iranian Shiite terror group, is negotiating to provide weapons to Yemen’s Al-Shabaab, a Sunni Jihadist group allied with Al Qaeda, to expand Iran’s control over shipping. While Al-Shabaab has operated using the conventional Al Qaeda playbook of rifles and IEDs, the Houthis can offer upgraded drones and missile technology.

And best of all, the Houthis can claim that the weapons were battle-tested on the US Navy.
