“I’m Shocked And Appalled!”

UPDATE!!

Howdy folks. My Hydro is still out.

We are connected directly to the Hydro 1 transformer station that was flooded.

I am not sure when  power will be restored.

My phone has dynamic IP’s meaning I  am constantly booted out of the blogs admin pages.

That makes posting very difficult.

Soon will begin the funerals of the formerly frozen foods.

Thank for your patience.

Jamaica broadcasting regulator bans music and TV deemed to glorify crime

The government has said the ban is meant to cut back on material that “could give the wrong impression that criminality is an accepted feature of Jamaican culture and society”.

Firms with ties to Brampton councillor, mayor got ‘unfair advantage’ on contracts, docs say

Companies that employed two men with close associations to an incumbent Brampton councillor and its mayor won city contracts after being afforded access not given to other bidders, new documents suggest.

Almost 500 pages of documents — including internal communications, bid details and reports — were obtained by Global News.

Dubai might be “the planet’s influencer capital”, but the people bankrolling the city aren’t TikTokers arriving with suitcases of bikinis. The Emirati city also attracts the kind of people who jet in on helicopters stuffed with cash, positioning itself as the global centre of crooks, conmen and kleptocrats fleeing their homelands.

Images of the politicians posing during a photo-call at Elmau Castle, Bavaria, have gone viral on social media – with many pointing out how ‘relaxed’ they looked.

Military police in Canada have tried to transfer 62 sexual assault cases to civilian police forces since last fall — but about half of those files have been declined and sent back.

The Canadian Armed Forces released new figures in response to requests from CBC News and the release of a blistering independent report on the military’s ongoing sexual misconduct crisis.

Canadian Armed Forces Provost Marshal Brig.-Gen. Simon Trudeau confirmed the military has attempted to transfer 49 new sexual offence cases to civilian police since November 2021. Police forces accepted 22 of the files and rejected 27.

Exxon Mobil is moving its corporate headquarters from Irving, Texas, to Houston as part of a business reorganization that the company said will be completed by 2023. What is making headlines, though, is the updated company guidance on its decision to ban any flag flying outside the corporate headquarters other than the official corporate flag. Why was this decision being announced? The corporation is sending a message that it intends to remain neutral and not succumb to politically correct virtue-signaling.

I’m gonna spill some oil in their honour.

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has been fired in the wake of revelations he secretly aided the defense of his embattled brother, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo — and the network said it is probing new information on “Fredo.”

“This is not how I want my time at CNN to end,” Chris Cuomo said in a statement.

“But I have already told you why and how I helped my brother,” he continued.

CNN confirmed the firing and said that Cuomo had been “terminated … effective immediately” as an outside law firm continues to investigate “his involvement with his brother’s defense.”
