Hello.

"A man in Canada went mowing his lawn with a tornado in the area."

Canadians eat tornados for breakfast.

My neighbour would do the same thing. Always cutting the fricken grass.

[Zeb]

That's a pretty cool picture. I'd probably be outside watching it. I've never seen a tornado in real life.

[Rhywun]

One tore the tops off a row of houses one block over from me in Brooklyn a few years ago. You do NOT want to mess with that shit. If it didn't come out of nowhere at six o'clock in the morning I would have found a basement somewhere or something.

[Zeb]

In Brooklyn, I probably wouldn't be out watching it. Too much debris potential and you probably can't see much anyway. But if it's a mile away, over open land, I'm there.

[Kivlor]

As someone who's sat on the porch and watched them several times, I don't recommend it. I used to pop some popcorn and chill. Then we had an EF5 (1 mile diameter) come down, and not knowing how big it was, I thought it would be cool to do what I usually did. So did 2 friends. It was rain-wrapped, so it wasn't visible. By the time we realized the danger, it was way too late. It picked a big oak tree up out of the ground about 200' away and threw it like I might throw a piece of broccoli.

I lived and they didn't. What it did to their bodies was horrific. Definitely take cover from that stuff.

[0x90]

It looks photoshopped.

[Ken Shultz]

Does Egypt support terrorism?

The problem with claiming that Saudi Arabia supports terrorism is the fact that the government fights and beheads terrorist dissidents, and everyone from Al Qaeda to ISIS considers the Saudi Arabian government to be their enemy. In fact, ISIS has used suicide bombers against Saudi Arabia--targeting Saudi mosques.

The problem with claiming that the Saudi Arabian government supports terrorism is that the House of Saud has 15,000 members. While some of those members may use their wealth to spread Wahabism and maybe even support terrorist groups elsewhere in the world, that isn't necessarily at the behest of the clique in power.

The family I grew up in only had five members, and we hardly agreed on anything. Plenty of family members in a 15,000 member family may never have even met.

[Citizen X - #6]

"Some of them, i assume, are good Sauds."

[Ken Shultz]

I didn't say that.

The ones in power aren't supporting ISIS, that's for sure.

The ultimate purpose of Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden was to overthrow the Saudi royal family and take control of the country himself--that's why he wanted the U.S. out of Saudi Arabia.

He claimed that the U.S. wasn't really in Saudi Arabia to protect the country from Iran or Saddam Hussein. He said the real purpose of the U.S. presence in Saudi Arabia was to protect the House of Saud from the Saudi Arabian people.

The Saudi Arabian government is a vicious dictatorship, in part because of the way it treats dissidents like those who sympathize with Al Qaeda, ISIS, Assad, and the mullahs in Iran. That also makes them prime candidates for allies, what with their enemies being our enemies.

When people Saudi Arabia supports terrorism, they're either talking about their support for mosques around the world or they're talking about factions outside of the clique that controls the government.

[Ken Shultz]

"When people [say] Saudi Arabia supports terrorism, they're either talking about their support for mosques around the world or they're talking about factions outside of the clique that controls the government."

Either that, or they don't know what they're talking about.

[Conchfritters]

It's funny then, because Al Qaeda was never really our enemy until we started permanently basing our military in Saudi Arabia, home to Mecca. I doubt they had had much love for Saddam Hussein, and probably cared less that we helped to part way overran Iraq in 1991. But when the job was over and we decided to make ourselves at home in Saudi Arabia, we became as much an enemy to Al Qaeda as the Saud family.

I personally think we should pull up stakes and leave Saudi Arabia today. We have sold them hundreds of billions of dollars of weaponry, and they should be able to take care of themselves without our support. But it won't happen, and we will remain a target for fanatics for decades to come. The sad reason is that it doesn't matter how many weapons we sell to Saudis - - they are terrible fighters. Even with squadrons of F-15s and a modern army, they needed help fighting the cave dwellers in Yemen. Their pilots were given Maseratis simply for flying sorties over Yemen. These morons could screw up a cup of coffee.

[Red Rocks Baiting n Inciting]

The sad reason is that it doesn't matter how many weapons we sell to Saudis - - they are terrible fighters. Even with squadrons of F-15s and a modern army, they needed help fighting the cave dwellers in Yemen.

Makes it all the more astonishing that degenerate family ever took over the Arabian peninsula in the first place. If there was ever a Middle Eastern nation ripe for an Arab Spring-type uprising, it's the House of Saud.

If it wasn't for the potential global market meltdown that might take place if they were ever overthrown, the US probably would have abandoned them a long time ago. Pretty sad that we've been too chickenshit to weather a short-term economic downturn for the long-term benefits of the Saudis no longer being able to import their toxic brand of Islam across the civilized world.

[loveconstitution1789]

It was oil. The Saudis were a semi-nomadic people before the 1960s. Most Saudis currently live in Riyadh, Jeddah, or Dammam. Much of the rest of the country is a desert wasteland.

[Square = Circle]

Oil made them rich. Saud came into power owing to the vacuum left by the Brits setting up the Husseins in Iraq, back when pretty much no one cared who had control over the Arabian Peninsula.

In fact, who is this Donald Trump fella... and now that you mention it, what is a U S of A?

[DJF]

So Putin is not going to pay me for all the work I have done?

I'm the one who got the DNC to push Hillary as candidate

I'm the one who told Podesta to not worry about it and just go to the attached website and change your password

I'm the one who had Hillary giving speeches to Goldman Sachs. I told her that voters loved winners like Goldman Sachs.

I'm the one who told Hillary to hire Wasserman as honorary chairperson of her campaign after she was forces out as DNC chair for cheating and pushing Hillary as candidate.

And there is so much more, I deserve my paycheck!

[damikesc]

Is it odd that the people who say Trump wasn't involved tend to have their names attached to the stories while the ones who claim he was are always anonymous?

[The Last American Hero]

Putin's game is to cause chaos and encourage distrust between the US Gov and its citizens. The Demopmedia is playing right into his hands with the constant pants wetting.

Did Putin meddle or try to? Yes. I have no doubt. But I also doubt that his meddling had any real impact on vote totals in swing states - directly or indirectly.

[damikesc]

Yet Dems believe, according to polls, that Russia actually manipulated vote totals.

So, to the Progs:

No ID used for voting to verify identity leading to the likelihood of fraud is just silly scare-mongering.

But Russia hacking vote totals by having agents in every polling place in the country and manually messing with all of them and none of them getting caught is logical.

There are actually not very many rioting. Most Democrats cried in their safe spaces.

if Hillary is their candidate in 2020 again, Trump will win by an even bigger landslide and she will be a 3 time loser.

[Rhywun]

Can we stop sucking up to them with this "Gutter" nonsense now?

[Juice]

Just say the Q with your throat and roll the R.

[Rhywun]

Derbyshire had a rant about this some time ago - why should we go through the bother of attempting to half-ass pronounce their names in their language when they don't do the same for us? We have to say "Beijing" instead of "Peking" now but guess what, they have their own words for "America" and "New York".

[Zeb]

Are we really doing it for them? I'm sure we still totally fuck up pronunciation of Chinese place names, even if we use the officially sanctioned pinyin spellings.

[Rhywun]

It's often just another form of political correctness but in the case of China, I believe on top of that, they did run a campaign to get the rest of the world on board with this.

And yes, we don't pronounce them correctly anyway (thus, "half-assed"). There is one sound in "Beijing" that doesn't even exist in English, and another that is unnatural for English speakers in that position. Repeat for most words.

[MarkLastname]

I'm willing to throw them a bone; I mean these people are willing to take English names when they move here. That's commitment to assimilation.

[The Last American Hero]

Amen. And that goes double for the Vietnamese, who give us Ngyuen and want us to pronounce it "Win", or who introduce characters and phonetic combinations that don't exist in the English language. Do as you will, but don't expect me to figure out how to say it "correctly".

[Square = Circle]

And often you find after struggling to pronounce some word "correctly" that that's only the correct way for about 2k native speakers.

I've never met two people who pronounce "Ngyuen" the same. Ask a Chinese person to pronounce the name of a Chinese person they've never met, and the answer is likely "I don't know."

A native Arabic speaker from Algeria cannot understand a native Arabic speaker from Syria.

It's 100% domestic virtue-signaling, and I get the impression that foreigners regard it as a little weird. I mean, just listen to BBC reporters in contrast - it's like they make a point of pronouncing things idiosyncratically.

"Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates broke off diplomatic relations with Qatar, accusing the country's government of supporting terrorism"

To be specific, it's about Qatar's support for Iran.

While the success of the Libyan revolution might have been impossible without Qatari troops on the ground, the Qataris have been accused of supporting Muslim Brotherhood types in the aftermath of the war, throwing a monkey wrench in that fledgling democracy. Any references to their support for terror should be taken with a grain of salt.

Even if they were true, this isn't about terror. This is about Qatar's support for Iran.

Someone might add that Qatar's relationship with Iran is much like the Dutch/British relationship that gave us Royal Dutch Shell. Their countries are drilling the same gas field, and Qatar's interests are driven by commercial concerns attached to such cooperation on energy.

Speaking of protests, CNN gets caught with their hands in the cookie jar again, staging a Muslim anti-ISIS protest in London for the cameras (apparently BBC and AP had photogs there as well).

CNN PR claims that they just invited protesters who happened to be nearby to stand in front of their cameras, but that doesn't explain:

1. The protesters not having signs until they stepped in front of the camera
2. CNN personnel directing them where to stand in relation to each other (presumably to give the impression of larger numbers)
3. Why three major news organizations were filming an empty street before discovering nearby protestors

[Liberty =>|<= Equality]

I can't wait for the fake news orgs to join cops in demanding that it be made illegal to record video of what they're doing.

[Zeb]

Zero Hedge. Yeah.

I'm sure a lot of shit on the news channels is staged to some extent. I have my doubts that it is made up out of whole cloth.

[SIV]

Are you attacking the source?

ZH just reposted video with commentary.

[Liberty =>|<= Equality]

I know ZH is not a reliable source of news. But they're not the source here. There is video and the CNN PR tweet. If there weren't video and the tweet from CNN PR, I would not have posted the link.

Obviously none of the MSM outlets are going to report on this, so claiming that it must not be true because NBC News etc. isn't reporting it is fallacious.

I wonder which source you would trust? Everybody is lying at least part-time these days.... not sure the gap between CNN and ZH is significant at this point.

[Zeb]

I don't trust anyone on that sort of thing. Everyone's pushing an agenda or narrative of some kind or other.

The video by itself is a pretty weird scene. But it seems at least as likely that CNN said "hey, wanna be on TV" to people who were actually there to protest terrorism and then set them up so it would look good on camera as anything else.

[Diane Reynolds (Paul.)]

If I watch the video without editorial commentary, what I see is odd, to say the least.

I see what appears to be a major broadcaster or broadcasters-- given the sophistication of the equipment involved-- setting up a scene with a group of women in hijabs (presumably Muslim) holding signs over flowers. A lot of care is taken to make sure the people in the shot are placed carefully before the cameras, telling them where to stand, making sure they're in frame etc.

Then I hear what sounds to be a "report" of people gathered in front of flowers for some type of vigil for the victims, but it's difficult to tell.

Whether or not the concept was staged or not is hard to tell, but it's clear the SCENE was staged, but staging the scene itself does not constitute malicious behavior on the part of the news, as long as the broadcaster didn't accompany the video with a narrative that this had just been 'caught spontaneously' on the street.

But the video itself produces a lot of questions. But accompanying it with 'FAKE NEWZ!!1!" doesn't help.

[Liberty =>|<= Equality]

staging the scene itself does not constitute malicious behavior on the part of the news

Of course it does, unless they made it clear to the audience that they had arranged the scene. Staged news is fake news.

That mayor's comments have been just awful.
