    Duterte: Drug war failed

    PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte has admitted his administration’s war on drugs was a failure.

    At a campaign rally in Malabon City on Tuesday evening, Duterte, whose promise to eradicate illegal drugs in three to six months helped him capture the presidency in 2016, said the drug problem was “swallowing” the country.

    [...]

    Late last month, Duterte said the drug situation in the country had “worsened” and that law enforcers were close to giving up.
    Duterte, however, said the drug war was a failure because it was a “worldwide problem.”
    That is - some refreshing candor.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Manhunt launched after Head of Army declared 'missing in action' after being dropped in wrong field

    A manhunt was launched after the head of the army was declared 'missing in action' after being dropped in the wrong Salisbury field.

    General Sir Carleton-Smith, Chief of the General Staff, was “lost” after the Army Wildcat helicopter he was travelling in on Tuesday landed at a site 600 metres away from where he was expected on Salisbury plain.

    A defence source told The Daily Telegraph: “There was an ‘Oh s*** moment’ when they realised they had lost the head of the army. His visit was a really big deal and they had everything planned out.

    Former Israeli space security chief says aliens exist, humanity not ready

    Has the State of Israel made contact with aliens? According to retired Israeli general and current professor Haim Eshed, the answer is yes, but this has been kept a secret because "humanity isn't ready."

    Speaking in an interview to (the newspaper) Yediot Aharonot, Eshed – who served as the head of Israel's space security program for nearly 30 years and is a three-time recipient of the Israel Security Award – explained that Israel and the US have both been dealing with aliens for years.


    And this by no means refers to immigrants, with Eshed clarifying the existence of a "Galactic Federation."


    The main reason why I dont believe this is because it insinuates that Trump kept his mouth shut about something.

    Although the restaurant is closed, staff are still regularly coming in to clean in an effort to help stave off the infestation. This includes some pretty serious survival tactics, including stomping rats and whacking them with broom handles.

    Rodents are a huge problem in DC too. My apartment used to have a mouse problem. Then I got a dog and within a week she killed one and we never saw a mouse again.
    She's also killed a few while out on walks, its really amazing seeing a dog killing a rodent, that head shaking that they do to kill the rodent is something else. She does the same thing when she plays tug of war with me which gets me thinking about whats going through her brain...

    So apparently there's a shortage of garden gnomes now? Man 2021 is proving to be as bad as 2020.

    The ornaments are in short supply with raw materials hard to come by and the recent blockage of the Suez Canal contributing to the national shortage.

    Ian Byrne, assistant manager of Highfield Garden World in Whitminster, said there had been a "massive upswing" in the sales of garden gnomes.

    "We haven't seen a gnome in six months now unfortunately," he said.

    Mr Byrne said garden centres had experienced a "boom" and that their popularity was causing issues with the availability of many popular items.

    "There aren't any [gnomes]. There's definitely a shortage. It's a combined thing with garden centres being so busy, I looked at some figures based on March which said garden centres were 97% busier than they were in 2019.

    This is old news, but it stands to reason that bringing downfall to America runs in the bin Laden family.

    The problem with what Winston Marshall wrote isnt that criticizing the far-left means you are far-right, its who he was specifically praising. Andy Ngo is a well-known provocateur who is known to selectively edit coverage to make his point. Not to mention his association with far-right groups such as the Proud Boys. So I wager that was the main reason why people were so angry.

    Well this was unexpected.

    An Australian musk duck has been recorded saying "You bloody fool" in the first documented instance of the species mimicking human speech.

    A hand-reared male named Ripper was recorded imitating the phrase during a courtship display, according to a study published Monday. The authors said he could have learned it from his caretaker.
