Military chiefs have objected to plans to extend a Scots windfarm amid fears RAF jets could crash into its huge turbines.

Energy firm Boralex wants to build 22 turbines up to 650ft high to extend the Cabrach wind farm in Clashindarroch, Aberdeenshire.

The new blades would reach far higher than the 18 existing 360ft turbines at the site and another 14 turbines measuring 590ft that are due to come online.

But the Ministry of Defence has objected due to concerns that pilots might fly their jets into them when conducting training exercises that can see the craft drop down as low as 250ft.

    Alongside the 1,475 silhouettes, the project will also install bespoke 'giants'
    The stunning instillation will be available to visit throughout Summer next year

An impressive 1,475 statues have filled the landscape beside a D-Day memorial overlooking France's Golden Beach in honour of each of the servicemen who fell during the historic mission.

The Standing with Giants silhouettes are part of the For Your Tomorrow installation at the British Normandy Memorial, in Ver-Sur-Mer, France.

In a stunning nod to the servicemen who fell on D-Day itself, almost 80 years ago, the fields within the British Normandy Memorial campus have been filled with two-metre-tall statues of soldiers - representing the three military services.

Alongside the 1,475 silhouettes, the project will also install bespoke 'giants' to represent the only two women on the Memorial, nurses Sisters Evershed and Field.

The two heroic women died while saving 75 men from a sinking hospital ship.

Our beloved grandmother didn't carry the nuclear codes
By Silvio Canto, Jr.

Let me put on my grandson hat. President Biden reminds me of my late grandmother. We called her "Abuela Senda" and everyone loved her stories. She was born in 1892 when Cuba was still a Spanish colony. She remembered all those parades when Cuba became an independent nation in 1902. She had my father and two more sons during the Great Depression that devastated Cuba too. She was a wonderful storyteller, from hurricanes hitting the island to how my grandfather stole her heart. She was a charm until age caught up with her and the stories were no longer real. We would hear the stories, look at each other and move on.

Well, it was sad to see it happen to our beloved grandmother. It's scary to see it happen to the man with the nuclear codes around him.

As you know, President Biden took storytelling to another level. This is the story:

    Joe Biden suggested his war hero uncle may have met a grisly end among flesh-eating savages after his plane went down over Papua New Guinea in World War II.

    The president said there were 'a lot of cannibals at the time' in the area where his uncle Ambrose J. Finnegan's plane crashed in the 1940s -- and his remains were never located.

    However, Biden's account was inconsistent with Pentagon records which showed the plane was not 'shot down' as he said.

    According to his own Defense Department it was a 'courier' flight that suffered engine failure and ditched in the ocean off Papua New Guinea on May 14, 1944. His uncle was a passenger rather than the pilot.

    Biden made the 'cannibal' comments on a trip to Scranton, Pennsylvania where he visited a war memorial bearing the name of his relative, who was known by the family as 'Uncle Bosie'.

    The president said: '(He) got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals at the time. They never recovered his body.

    'But the government went back when I was down there and they checked and found parts of the plane and the like.'


Another one of Joe's tales. What makes this tale more obscene is that he used the Atlantic cemetery story about Trump calling soldiers losers. My guess is that someone in the White House wrote the bit about Trump and then Biden's imagination ran wild. I don't know but that's my guess.

Big government, high taxes, and massive regulations
By Jack Hellner

Democrat, liberal, and progressive economic policies can be summed up in one sentence: Big government, high taxes, and massive regulations.

Here is an excellent opinion piece by Nicole Russell at USA Today via Yahoo News that sums up the huge problems with California’s economy:

    Gov. Newsom and California show why liberals can't be trusted with the economy

    California’s booming economy has taken a hit lately, thanks to liberal policies that have taken root. Things like tax hikes, hefty regulations and policies were progressive but failed to produce positive outcomes. According to The Economist, ‘The state faces three overlapping challenges: rising unemployment, growing fiscal strains and population outflows.’

    …

    There are a few indicators of where the state’s economy is heading. The cost of high gas and housing prices are ushering in an affordability crisis. California now has the highest unemployment rate in the country. That’s more than a million unemployed workers.

    …

    In California, state and local government revenues and spending were 60% higher than Texas on a per-resident basis. California has the country’s highest top marginal individual income tax rate, while Texas has no individual income tax (property taxes are higher in Texas though).

    ‘State and local governments in California and Texas spent $638 billion and $291 billion, respectively, in the 2019 fiscal year, which represented $16,105 and $10,024 per resident,; the report reads.

    California thinks a larger taxpayer-subsidized government is the answer to their residents’ problems; Texas wouldn’t presume that.


The highest unemployment rates in the U.S. are in Nevada, California, Washington D.C., New Jersey, and Illinois. What do they have in common?  They are all almost wholly run by Democrats!

Biden set to block Alaska road key to accessing planned mine
The expected decision on Ambler Road reflects the administration’s selective approach toward boosting domestic mining of minerals used in green technologies.

Quote
The Biden administration is set to block a controversial road crucial to operating a planned copper and zinc mine in northern Alaska, saying it would threaten Indigenous communities and fragment wildlife habitat, according to two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2024/04/16/ambler-road-alaska-biden/

It's about the grift, folks, not energy. not the economy, but the kickbacks and baksheesh.

This isn't just a war on oil, It's a war on Alaska and a war on the American economy. Americans are not being allowed to develop American resources.
