Good morning and happy Monday, everyone. It was a glorious weekend here with our first two successive hard frosts coupled with bright blue days that turned to T-shirt weather by 11:00 a.m.
Nothing like hard frosts to get you on the “button up the farm, STAT!” bandwagon.
One of Joel Salatin’s “commas” that you get on a farm:
Riots Spreading Around the World
What was initially downplayed by Western media as ‘students’ protesting cuts to the school budgets and/or a lack of sufficient school supplies has now morphed into full-blown rioting and mob behaviors across eight countries:
Did the whole world agree to lose it at the same time???France and Italy are burning, Albania is on day 6+ of clashes, and the list of countries joining in keeps getting longer.8 countries, 11 seconds, 1 very angry planet.Writer: Julie pic.twitter.com/P6Gfz6Ui2R

The Iran war and attacks against Russia have combined to squeeze populations from the bottom up and governments from the top down. This sort of social unrest should be expected to continue as the energy crisis continues to take ever-larger bites out of living standards and hopes and dreams.
On that front, there’s no good news to report at the present time:
European diesel prices are exploding, approaching $200/barrel…Meanwhile, today's Eurostat report shows eurozone industrial production contracted another 1.1% yoy.Germany's industrial production is already almost 10% below 2021 levels.And now another massive energy shock… pic.twitter.com/8MWUMXWIyM

And Europe seems dedicated to immiserating its own populations for whatever cause their dear leaders think is more important than attending to their own:
Mrs Leyen confirms Ukraine faces a €70bn funding shortfall in 2027, plus the €45bn planned under the recent €90bn framework. She admits new partners are urgently needed for the remaining amounts. No European country can fill the €70bn gap, and nobody knows how it will be… pic.twitter.com/npsNXJ0xDA

The people noticed:
ITALY NEXT: For years, European leaders put Ukraine first while neglecting their own young people and children. Now people are taking to the barricades because they see no future for themselves. Billions were poured into Zelensky’s pockets while Europe’s own citizens were left to…

BBC did the meme! “Mostly peaceful protests.” LOL.
Fucking hell, they just did it!The BBC actually described the Islamo-leftist riots burning France to the ground as “MOSTLY PEACEFUL”!But Danny Tommo puncturing a people smuggling boat is terrorism to them. Defund them NOW! pic.twitter.com/yQW6e7w57C

For its part, CBS put out this knee-slapper describing events as ‘scuffles’ that broke out between police and ‘small groups of protesters.’ CBS did rapidly delete the Tweet after immediate scorn and derision were heaped their way, but the internet is forever.
As an aside, how do you let this get so
