On this day in history (April 24, 1967)
The “stabbed in the back in Viet Nam” narrative was started when General William Westmoreland stated in a news conference that the enemy had “gained support in the United States that gives him hope that he can win politically that which he cannot win militarily”.
Meet the elite couples who want to overpopulate the planet with their elite babies
The Telegraph has an absolutely horrifying piece entitled, and how we all wish we were joking about this, “Meet the ‘elite’ couples breeding to save mankind.” Yes, it is a real thing. The Telegraph introduces us mostly to Simone and Malcolm Collins, “two 30-something American entrepreneurs turned philosophers” who are among the de facto leaders of the “pronatalism” movement that has taken wealthy Silicon Valley assholes by storm. Pronatalism is a “philosophy” that claims humanity is doomed if the worldwide human population falls off by any appreciable extent, and therefore everybody (not everybody) has to get to work pumping out babies (with certain genetic profiles) in order to save us from the literal collapse of human civilization.
Crooks Continue Converting Clipped Catalytic Converters to Cash
New Castle County Police are alerting the public to an ongoing rash of catalytic converter thefts going on across the area.
County Police spokesman Corporal Michael McNasby said unfortunately it doesn’t take too much mechanical know how to remove the device.
“You’d think you’d have to be some sort of mechanic or have some type of skill, but in this case it’s really not,” said McNasby, “it can be stolen in seconds with just two cuts or three cuts with a reciprocating saw.”
Police said as the value of precious metals remains high, so does the number of thefts of these devices.
“They’re being scrapped at yards or resold, I think they go for $150 or $200 at a scrapyard,” said McNasby, “and then also they’re trying to get those elements out of the inside of that device as well.”
McNasby said it will be pretty obvious if you’ve been victimized.
“The vehicle usually will start but you’ll hear a very loud sound coming from the muffler and the vehicle will be very sluggish.”
