Interesting stories, and the article gives accurate perspective. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ecuador city tries to return to normal after gang horror Few residents have fully recovered from the shock - from the outright chaos and bloodshed - of this week, a moment which will live long in the city's collective memory. But Dina Moreno can't afford to stay home any longer. She sells mobile phone accessories at Guayaquil's biggest covered market and, like many of her fellow stallholders, has ventured out to open her business and get back to work.

This place isn't that far from Mrs. T-B.'s hometown! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Huge ancient lost city found in the Amazon [...] "This is older than any other site we know in the Amazon. We have a Eurocentric view of civilisation, but this shows we have to change our idea about what is culture and civilisation," says Prof Stephen Rostain, director of investigation at the National Centre for Scientific Research in France, who led the research. "It changes the way we see Amazonian cultures. Most people picture small groups, probably naked, living in huts and clearing land - this shows ancient people lived in complicated urban societies," says co-author Antoine Dorison. The city was built around 2,500 years ago, and people lived there for up to 1,000 years, according to archaeologists. It is difficult to accurately estimate how many people lived there at any one time, but scientists say it is certainly in the 10,000s if not 100,000s.

Sanctuary Cities Not Living Up to Their Name Sanctuary cities aren't doing much bragging these days about their superior morality as compared to the rest of the U.S. In fact, the cities have been exposed as bastions of hypocrisy where not only are migrants ill-treated, but residents are being displaced to make room for the newcomers because of poor planning and incompetent management.

The truth indeed hertz... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Truth Hertz: Rental Giant to Shed 20,000 EVs -- and Gas Up Just a few months ago, Hertz committed to making electric vehicles a quarter of its rental fleet. They had already announced an intent to partner with Tesla as a major provider for their future fleet, which had pushed Tesla's value even higher. Supposedly, the scale of the demand and usage would lower costs across the board and make fleet maintenance all that much easier for Hertz and other rental agencies. Now, however, Hertz has hit reverse — and taken a big hit to its bottom line. Bloomberg reports today that the leading rental company wants to sell off a full third of its existing EVs and replace them with gasoline-powered vehicles: [...] https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/01/11/the-truth-hertz-rental-giant-to-shed-20000-evs-and-gas-up-n604419

It can't possibly be! Trump isn't involved!

It surprises me that a facility as superb as Texas Children's would fall for this woke stuff. It does NOT surprise me that the Feds are nefariously involved.
