And the water conspiracy theory is debunked by AI here

I just debunked the 1st governor's bill signing misinformation by asking AI here

The only things that have made my left eyebrow go up slightly in all of this …. Is the turning on/off of water aspect by the utilities….. AND the state governor signing a bill giving him authority to appropriate the land in a natural disaster just ONE WEEK prior….  Those 2 coincidences alone merit an investigation.  (of course I don’t believe in space lasers or the school personnel being evil by either sending the kids home early…).

Now the lack of sirens can be explained by simple manager incompetence. I believe that guy recently resigned in the face of accusations.

Your thoughts?

p.s. - As for Oprah, I think people are really stretching trying to implicate rich locals as being behind such a disaster.

Tomorrow marks two years since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, and the $7B in Afghan central-bank funds that the Biden admin froze are still in limbo. Half is being held in a Swiss trust fund until the central bank can show it’s free from Taliban influence. The other $3.5B is in New York, where a judge turned down an effort by families of 9/11 victims to seize it. While releasing the billions to Afghanistan could risk = recognizing the Taliban as a legitimate gov’t, over a third of Afghans face severe hunger as the country’s economy crumbles.

As more Americans ditch discretionary splurges and bargain-hunt for groceries, retailers are boosting their food offerings. Target recently added 100+ new items to its Good & Gather private label, but it’s tough to compete with Walmart’s grocery game: America’s largest retailer makes up over quarter of all US grocery spend.
