Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi's 'life is at risk' after he was involved in a helicopter crash near the border with Azerbaijan.

A frantic search mission is underway after the aircraft, which was traveling in Iran's East Azerbaijan province near Jolfa, around 375 miles northwest of Tehran, suffered a 'hard landing', according to Iranian state television.

The helicopter was one of a convoy of three and foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, Friday prayer Imam Seyyed Mohammad-Ali Al-Hashem and other high-ranking officials were also reportedly on the helicopter with the president.

The lives of President Raisi and foreign minister Amirabdollahian are at risk following the crash over mountain terrain, an Iranian official told Reuters.

Is it too much to ask weathermen to simply report on the weather and stay OUT of politics?

Same as when sports-news starts political campaigning and jabs. Can't you just present the scores and shut-up about your personal politics? The answer is overwhelmingly, 'NO'.

Read this on Facebook. Thought i would share it. 🤣🤣🤣

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer.

The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.

My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said, "Nothing."

The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is because she then would have asked, "About what?"

At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions.

Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they know?

Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question.

Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really know, here is the reason for my conclusion:

A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."
But you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."

I rest my case.

Time for another beer. Then maybe a nap.

More fear mongering from American Thinker to get the rubes all fired up .  "Theyz want to take away yuuur caaaaar"

Will never happen.  Volker is the equivalent of Pete Buttigeg. He has no power to approve it  Even the german greenies said it is stupid idea:

"It is not responsible for a minister to stir up unfounded fears," Green Party parliamentary group leader Katharina Droege said on Friday, calling on the minister to make sensible suggestions for more climate protection in the sector.
Social Democrats (SPD) deputy parliamentary group leader Detlef Mueller said such manoeuvres would not advance the negotiations in parliament on the new climate protection law.
"Scaremongering through absurd proposals does not help climate protection in the transport sector at all, on the contrary," Mueller said.

They are getting soooo desperate over Joe Biden's diminishing 2024 election chances that now weathermen are engaging in political campaigning while absurdly PRETENDING they are not campaigning. One such weatherman is Steve MacLaughlin of WTVJ's NBC6 station down here in South Florida. Watch how he jumps up on the Climate Change (Global Warming) bandwagon to lecture the audience while piously pretending he would never tell us who to vote for while obviously telling us who NOT to vote for. (Hint: NOT Trump, WINK! WINK!).

Is it too much to ask weathermen to simply report on the weather and stay OUT of politics?

At least when I order from a self-service kiosk, my order comes out correctly more often than it did before.  Now all they need to do is to automate the cooking and assembly of the food.

Fast food chains have been raising prices nationwide for a couple of years. The moronic $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers simply accelerated the increases.
