The Dam Collapse that Didn't Happen

Since there was no catastrophe, this story didn't make much news, or I didn't see much about it, in the news. From Madalyn Buursma at WLNS Lansing: Water levels at Cheboygan dam stabilized

This was a story that was all too similar to the Edenville Dam collapse on 19 May 2020.

A series of storms dumping a lot of rain upstream of the dam. The spillways not in the best shape. The powerhouse not able to pass water through the turbines. The water got withing a few inches (5?) of overtopping the dam. Emergency crews brought in pumps to aid in getting water out of the reservoir.

The power house, which could pass a lot of water through the turbine, had been closed since 2023 when a fire in a nearby factor had caused the powerhouse to be shutdown. In what has to be a product of "lessons learned" from Edenville and Sanford dams, an emergency effort was undertaken, to get the equipment tested, the generators reconnected to the electrical grid, and the powerhouse back on line.

The result: Crews restart hydroelectric turbine at Cheboygan Dam

The hydro dam at the Cheboygan Lock and Dam Complex is officially online and river water levels are dropping, according to Michigan State Police Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division.

The announcement comes after Department of Natural Resources officials worked with Consumers Energy, the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to restore a former hydro dam powerhouse. The turbine hadn’t operated since a 2023 fire.

Using the turbine to generate power allows the people managing the dam to increase water flow by 30%. Taking that amount of control away from the dam operators was never a good idea. And while low-head hydroelectric power is deemed to be to expensive today, clearly that installation is capable of generating power, which since the infrastructure is in place is clean energy. While you might not build it from scratch today, why not use it for the rest of its lifespan?

Cheboygan, Michigan is on the northern tip of the Lower Peninsula. It is on the shore of Lake Huron, at the mouth of the Cheboygan River. It is about 19 miles southeast of Mackinaw City, Michigan, or about a 285 mile drive north of Detroit. The dam is right in the middle of the city, about 1½ miles from Lake Huron.

With the extra effort, and some dry weather, the situation came back under control, with the water levels falling.

Or is it just Tuesday? Chicago Mayor Sidekick Nabbed for Back Taxes After Years of Illegal Tax Breaks | Chicago Contrarian

Another member of Mayor Brandon Johnson's City Hall gang has been forced to pay back taxes after years of being a privileged scofflaw who felt she was above the rules under which the rest of us have to suffer.

The latest to get her tax dodge comeuppance is Mayor Johnson’s city budget director Annette Guzman, who for the last five years had been taking advantage of lower property taxes based on an illegal tax break she had wrangled. Now she is being forced to make up the difference and pay in what she should have been paying all along

What happens when you make threats of violence on public media sites? From The United States Department of Justice, Middle District of Florida: Sarasota Woman Found Guilty of Making Threats on TikTok Sentenced to 14 Months in Federal Prison

According to evidence presented at trial, on August 17, 2025, [Desiree Doreen] Segari posted a video on TikTok calling for MAGA supporters to be shot on sight. Segari stated, “so if we all get our guns and use our second amendment right…and you see somebody with a MAGA hat, ‘pew pew’ that’s what we do, that’s the way, it’s the only way.”

Then she went on TikTok the next day, and doubled down on the threats of shooting.

She was found guilty of "interstate communication of a threat to injure." She was found guilty in January, and sentenced in early May.

Hat tip to Miguel Gonzalez: Aaaand she found out.

Airbnb Sued Over Party, Shooting

Airbnb destroys (some) neighborhoods. Woman shot in deadly 2025 Bath mass shooting sues Airbnb, homeowner - AOL

The suit claims there is a 2014 zoning law outlawing "short-term rentals." That would be Airbnb. Airbnb denies that they are banned from Bath Township.

"The violent shooting was a foreseeable consequence of operating and facilitating an illegal, unregulated short-term rental in violation of the Bath Township Zoning Regulation," the lawsuit states.

A digital flyer described the event as a "mansion" birthday party for two individuals. Social media advertising also promised free alcohol, the lawsuit said.

It does not appear that the part organizers are listed in the suit, as they are only listed as "John and Jane Doe."

Bath Township, is in Summit County, Ohio. It is a suburban area northwest of downtown Akron.

The woman bringing the suit was shot multiple times, and suffered physical and psychological injury.

Law enforcement arrested three people in the shooting: 18-year-old Derquan Edwards, 20-year-old Jashawn Stewart and 17-year-old Domonick Smith, court records show.

I assume that since we know the name, Smith is being charged as an adult.

I know I would not want to live next door to a house that was permanently listed on Airbnb, because sooner or later someone decides to throw a party.

Even In Houston the Media Lie About Self-Defense

The Evil Gun Owner shot him for trespassing. Or did he? Homeless man shot, killed by homeowner after trespassing in NE Houston neighborhood

That’s where investigators say the confrontation turned physical.

According to police, the homeowner told officers the man attacked him during the encounter. The homeowner then pulled out a pistol and fired at the man.

Now it is true that he was shot "after trespassing," because he was trespassing, and told to leave - and he did leave - before he came back and became confrontational.

But if you present the facts in that order, you can't cast the gun owner as being eeeevil. You have to get to paragraph 9 before you find out that there was more than simple trespassing involved, and the Professional Journalists™ know most people don't read that far, and I doubt an AI summary will get that far.

As for the guy who got shot, he ran off, and it took police some time to find his body. Would he have survived if he had stayed put, and been taken to a hospital? We will never know.

It is early days for the investigation, but this didn't happen in New Jersey.

Self-defense is a human right.

From her reactions, she was not a hard-core Liberal but probably one that call herself one and trusts what the Old Media says because that was what she was told to do.

Lies of omission are still lies.

BitLocker Bypass Allows Access to Encrypted Drives

Because of course it does. Windows BitLocker 0-Day Vulnerability Enables Access to Encrypted Drives

Two new unpatched Windows BitLocker zero-day vulnerabilities significantly compromise Microsoft’s ecosystem. The exploits include a critical BitLocker encryption bypass called YellowKey and a privilege escalation flaw named GreenPlasma.

YellowKey is a bypass. BitLocker hasn't been broken. Windows can be fooled into letting you in through the side door.

GreenPlasma isn't less scary, but maybe I will get to that later.

YellowKey is a critical exploit that allows threat actors with physical access to entirely bypass BitLocker full-disk encryption in minutes. The vulnerability resides within the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) and exclusively impacts Windows 11, Windows Server 2022, and Windows Server 2025.

This is the Dave's Garage video Yellow Key: BitLocker has been Broken! Don't lose your laptop!

If you encrypt your laptop or desktop with BitLocker, you're about to be very surprised, and more than a little frightened because every once in a while, a security bug comes along that doesn't feel like a clever exploit so much as finding a labeled spare key under the front door mat.

Don't lose access to your laptop, for even a minute.

The video is short, by Dave's Garage standards, at less than 2 and a half minutes.

News Flash - EV Range Drops Cold Weather

The range drops BEFORE you turn on the cabin heater. The American Automobile Association ran a study. AAA Finds EV Range Drops 39% in Cold Weather and Costs Jump - Autoblog

The electric vehicle revolution was supposed to conquer the elements; instead, the elements conquered it. The industry has spent billions optimizing aerodynamics and fast-charging curves, but the latest data from the AAA exposes a significant problem: electric and hybrid vehicles are still fundamentally failing the temperature test.

The 39% decrease in range, is a problem if you computed the distance you need to travel for your daily commute, and then bought a car that seemed appropriate. It probably is not appropriate in the winter. The efficiency of the vehicle decreases just more than 35%. That translates into higher cost-per-mile, as the charge doesn't last as long.

EVs also lose range in extreme heat, but not so much as in the winter.

Hybrids also have issues, but the change in batter efficiency is mostly related to increased costs. You can still keep driving on the gas engine. You also don't need battery power to heat the cabin, as you have waste heat from the internal combustion engine.

So where are all the politicians who were pretending to be engineers just a few years ago?

A Conversation About Firearms

Professor David Yamane has a new (to me) project. LET'S TALK GUNS: We Need to Have a Conversation

This experiment was inspired by reporter Michele Norris' Race Card Project. Norris asked people to distill their thoughts on race down to 6 words as a way of initiating conversations about a difficult subject.

In "Let's Talk Guns," I want to do the same for another topic we often have a difficult time talking about. So, to paraphrase Michele Norris:

GUNS. SEND SIX WORDS.

There is a Google Docs form, that is asking for 6 words.

What Do Guns Mean to You?
Use the form below to share your

Don't be insane. Think about it for more than 8 seconds. In fact, come back after lunch, or dinner, after you've thought about it for a bit. If you think it's a joke, pass it on by; it isn't for you.

Because Cutting Taxes Is NOT an Option

Democrats, or socialists/communists, cut taxes to deal with a budget deficit? Not on this planet. Gooder and Harder, NYC: Mamdani's Plan to 'Nickel & Dime' You to Death

It seems so long ago and far away [Steve, it was maybe last month —Editor] that New York City's Democratic Socialist Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, promised residents everything from free bus rides to universal child care to free groceries — because you just know that nobody was going to prosecute shoplifters at Mamdani's crony-run grocery stores.

Now, as the New York Post put it late Tuesday, comes the bill that will "nickel-and-dime New Yorkers with hidden fee hikes" to pay for all the free stuff that Mamdani won't actually, you know, deliver at all.

There is no money for free bus rides, extra health care for kids, or anything else Mamdani promised to get elected.

I'm old enough to remember the old Democratic Party. "Ask not what your country can do for you..." has morphed into "Free Stuff!" (OK, so I don't remember Kennedy. I did learn about him in school.)

The biggest belly laugh was when Mamdani promised $368 million in savings from “improving the efficiency of public services” and another $947 million by merely "improving our financial management, claiming revenue that the city is owed, and accurately estimating expenses."

Oh yeah. That'll work!

How can one city spend so much money, and still not work?

Europe Seems Determined to Kill Its Auto Industry

Politicians demanded electric vehicles. The public said, "No thanks." Manufacturers are caught in the middle. Volkswagen Expects To Pay $1.7 Billion In Emissions Fines

Much like all traditional automakers, the Volkswagen Group is caught between a rock and a hard place. The European Union’s push toward electrification is forcing the German juggernaut to sell more EVs to offset the CO₂ emissions from its combustion-engine vehicles. Otherwise, it risks paying hefty fines for exceeding fleet targets.

The fines are calculated based on the number of vehicles sold (that is called consumer demand) that exceed the arbitrary emissions levels set by politicians pretending to be engineers.

European politicians have not understood that Command Economies NEVER work. Probably some American politicians as well. They also don't like to admit they are NOT engineers.

Automakers are struggling to meet the 2025–2027 fleet emissions targets, and the challenge will only intensify. Even stricter regulations will take effect in 2030, when car companies must cut CO₂ emissions by 55 percent compared to 2021 levels. From 2035, emissions will have to drop by 90 percent versus 2021 levels.

Good luck with that.

The hat tip goes to MGUY Australia and his video EV madness is STRANGLING the European car industry. And you should be watching his videos, they are relatively short. (This one is less than 7 minutes.) He has about 2 new videos per week, depending on what is in the news.

ABC News Censors Story on Disney Cruise Lines

Because Disney owns ABC. But the media are losing their minds because Paramount owns CBS. BLACKOUT: ABC News SILENT on Disney Employing Alleged Pedophiles

There are a raft of bad jokes in this story about Hollywood, but I will leave them to you to figure out.

Disney-owned ABC News still has not uttered a word on-air about the recent apprehension of as many as ten Disney cruise ship staff for their alleged participation in a child pornography ring. The arrests were first covered by a regional news station in Los Angeles on May 5, and by the following day, they had become a national news story — making this the sixth straight day that Disney’s flagship news network has concealed this scandal from their audience.

I'm typing this on the 11th, so not quite a week. National media covered it on the 6th.

On Friday the 8th Good Morning America found time to promote American Idol.

And on Saturday, May 9, Good Morning America also found time to for a nearly three-minute segment (175 seconds) on a New York City coffee shop that was attempting to introduce Americans to Cambodian culture.

I guess that was more newsworthy than the intentional harming of kids by folks working for Disney Cruises.
