Boat explodes in viral video after boaters allegedly harassed vessel flying pride flags
A boat carrying a group of people who were reportedly harassing a family for having LGBTQ+ pride flags spontaneously blew up over the weekend in Washington state, BuzzFeed News reported.

Video of the incident, which took place on Moses Lake, went viral on TikTok and Twitter after users shared it to the social media platforms.

"These people harassed my family because we were flying gay pride flags," the user wrote. "Then, their boat literally blew up!"


The TikTok video shows the group approaching the family's boat, with various people on board holding up their middle fingers. Their boat is then seen billowing smoke, with large flames shooting up as the passengers swim in the water with life vests on.

According to BuzzFeed, the occupants of the burned boat swam to the boat they had been harassing for safety.

On more boat sinkings. Glad they got all the people off. Not too happy it going down and polluting the waters but until they have a change in government I see it as a win.

Iran's largest warship catches fire, sinks
The Associated Press reported that the semiofficial Fars and Tasnim news agencies in Iran reported that the ship sank near the port of Jask, located about 790 miles southeast of Tehran, despite attempts by firefighters to save the vessel.

While the warship Kharg, named after the island that serves as Iran’s main oil terminal, did not escape the flames, Reuters reported that emergency responders were able to safely rescue the ship’s crew.

The cause of the fire is unknown, though state media reported that it began around 2:25 a.m. in the Persian Gulf’s Strait of Hormuz, where it was conducting a training mission.

The only time I heard, "this is not a drill, this is not a drill. General Quarters. General Quarters. All hands man your battle stations. . . ." was in the Strait of Hormuz. In what the world calls the Gulf War, and what we call the Iran Iraq War.

Massive fire breaks out at oil refinery near Iran’s capital
A massive fire broke out Wednesday night at the oil refinery serving Iran’s capital, sending thick plumes of black smoke over Tehran. It wasn’t immediately clear if there were injuries.

The fire struck the state-owned Tondgooyan Petrochemical Co. to the south of Tehran, said Mansour Darajati, the director-general of the capital’s crisis management team.

Firefighters believe it struck a pipeline for liquefied petroleum gas at the facility, Darajati told Iranian state television. He did not elaborate.

Associated Press journalists in central Tehran, some 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) away, could see the black smoke rise in the distance. Another AP journalist saw flames shooting into the sky from the site.

Coincidence?

Devos gets roasted tomorrow …. :bigjoint:


A federal judge on Wednesday ruled that former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos will have to testify in a class action lawsuit over her handling of the Education Department's student debt loan forgiveness program.

Judge William Alsup said "exceptional circumstances" warrant issuing DeVos a subpoena, a move that goes against both Devos' and the Biden administration's requests to excuse her from providing testimony.

The controversy dates back to 2018, when the Department of Education unexpectedly stopped making decisions on "student-loan borrower-defense applications," in which students could petition the department to have their debt federally relieved if they believed their colleges had misled them.

After an 18-month halt on the program, the Trump administration began rejecting a disproportionately high number of applications issuing scant explanations as to why, instead citing that the Department needed to mull over its policy on the issue. At the time, Devos claimed that making decisions on these applications was "time-consuming and complex."

DeVos will be pressed in her hearing on the department's inadequate record-keeping of loan forgiveness claims, as well as whether the Trump administration lied about its rationale for the vast number of rejections it issued.

"If the judicial process runs to presidents, it runs to Cabinet secretaries — especially former ones," Alsup wrote in his decision, adducing the subpoena of former President Richard Nixon over the Watergate tapes following Nixon's departure from office. "Extraordinary circumstances warrant the deposition of Secretary DeVos for three hours, excluding breaks."

Keep dreaming.

Nothing will happen. It's all smoke and mirrors. Why do you think Biden refuses to do anything about student debt? Why do you think Biden does nothing about the 15 dollar minimum wage? Why do you think Biden does nothing about Trump and his criminal activities?

They're all in on it together. We're just as bad for believing Biden as the republicans are for believing Trump.

Of all of the lousy people trump appointed to cabinet positions while he was in office this crazy bitch DeVos was the WORST of all. I despise her.

I know at least one cop that is now in prison that thought the same thing.

Why do you think Biden refuses to do anything about student debt?
2022

Why do you think Biden does nothing about the 15 dollar minimum wage?
You mean Biden raising it to that for all federal jobs with an executive order didn't happen?
Why do you think Biden does nothing about Trump and his criminal activities?
Because Biden specifically said he is going to stay out of the DOJ, unlike Trump.

They're all in on it together. We're just as bad for believing Biden as the republicans are for believing Trump.
And yet you pretend like it is inconceivable that the Georgian Democrats would not have purged voting rolls to screw their party into losing for the next few decades to the Republicans.
