King move is right.
Disagree. Obviously the goal is to do something that FORCES black to move because right now any attempt to put black in check (rook a7->a8 or rook h7->h8) allows for the knight to block at c8 or e8. 

But if you move the king, the knight can jump d6->f7. Now the rook at h7 can't move to h8 and put the king in check or the knight will capture that rook at h8. And if the rook at a7 moves to a8 the king can escape check to the 7th rank because the knight now blocks the rook at h7. 

Move the rook from h7-g7, and you're golden:

  • If the king moves to c8, rook moves a7->a8: checkmate.
  • If the king moves to e8, rook moves g7->g8: checkmate.
  • If the knight jumps to either c8 or e8, the opposite rook moves to the 8th rank: checkmate
  • If the knight jumps to the 7th rank, the rook on that side advances to 8th rank: checkmate
  • If the knight jumps anywhere else (5th or 4th rank), either rook advances to 8th rank: checkmate

Simple.

There’s a video floating around on X ( or twitter or whatever platform you use I’m Sure ). Anyways, in the video is the “assistant chief of the Los Angeles FD” proclaiming how people want their rescuers to look like them. I’m not sure if she’s referring to herself as a minority or a lesbian or what. And then she proceeded to say that even if she couldn’t carry your husband out of a fire, so what he got himself into that situation and tough cookies. 

I got to tell you, this is exactly what “most” of the rest of the country absolutely hates about this whole woke ideology or far left political movement. And it’s also why the democrats just can’t understand why people ran from Kamala and voted for Trump.

The mayor of LA fired her fire chief for speaking out about the $17 Million the mayor cut out of the FD's budget and that it hurt the FD's response to this tragedy.

Unreal.

That's funny, I've never wanted a plumber to come to my house that looks like me.  In fact, the opposite would be preferred.

I think any reasonably sane person, in the middle of any tragedy whether it's your house burning down or being involved in a car crash, doesn't give two fucks about what the person looks like.  In fact, most everybody would vote 10/10 for the person best suited to do the job.  In other words, men who can carry large, heavy objects like firehoses and equipment, versus somebody else who is there based on DEI.  

For minor accidents or non-emergency responses, I'm sure sometimes it would be best to have somebody respond who can best handle the situation based on their race or gender.  But that's not what she said.
