According to Rep. Gaetz, reporters are threatening people to get them to lie about him.
That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
Land of the free, they said.
Home of the brave, they said.
Despite Tuesday’s massive reopening of the California economy and the loosening of COVID-19 rules that have been in place for more than a year, many people continued to wear masks in public, saying they felt it was better to be safe than sorry.
At Charlie’s Best Burgers in East Los Angeles, patrons and the staff treated California’s reopening day like any other.
The burger and Mexican food chain still required customers to wear masks and maintain social distancing. The restaurant marked three of its seven booths unusable and capped capacity at 20 customers.
“Right now, there are just too many unvaccinated people to not ask our customers to wear masks,” said restaurant general manager Jorge Jimenez, 35. “If you look at the area, it’s been hit hard by COVID-19. It doesn’t make sense right now to change.”
——-
“We’re not able to tell who is vaccinated and who is not, so this is the best thing to do,” Jimenez said.
When his restaurant first implemented a mask mandate last spring, Jimenez said several customers refused and left. Since then, however, the community has generally accepted the protocol.
There were no complaints from customers Tuesday.
Friends Albert Ramon, Kenneth Ruiz and Yerson Henriquez, all 19, had pulled down their surgical and cloth masks as they dined on burger, fries, pancakes and a chorizo burrito.
“Honestly, I still think it’s way too early,” Ramon said of lifting the mask mandate. “I was surprised that the change was made.”
Part of what has made Charlie’s Best Burger appealing, Henriquez said, is that the restaurant still enforces a mask mandate.
“It’s just weird to walk around and see people without masks because we still need to get vaccination numbers up,” he said.
This is what we have become.
This is very widespread here. These people are now refusing to admit that covid is receding. It’s crazy to watch. There’s still people out strolling around alone wearing masks and everything. They seem addicted to panic.
I live in a NYC suburb, and even though stores no longer require masks, whenever I go shopping there’s maybe only one or two people besides me not wearing masks, while everyone else is masked up. It’s really pathetic.
It really lines up with political beliefs almost perfectly. I live in a college town and there are still stores asking people to wear them. But I went to Alabama for a week and no one said a word about my uncovered face.
The great lands of the flyover are very different. I’ve had to wear a mask three times in the past week. Once for a doctor’s office, for going into get blood drawn, and when visiting the girlfriend’s grandmother and aunt. Other then that, I don’t even carry a mask with me. While out shopping, you usually will see a handful of people still wearing their new fashion accessory/team signaling. But people are willing to sit down next to people at bars, chat with strangers, and (most of) the bartenders look much better without covering half of their face.
I find that it lines with politics. The rich liberal inner suburbs are masked up. In the more conservative working class exurbs, you see very few masks.
Yes and no. Vienna is about as wealthy as NoVa burbclaves come, and mask usage in public is down to a bare handful.
I’m rather surprised by that. Talked to some friends in Chantilly last night and it sounded like Fairfax and points east were very masked.
I have to head up to Fairfax later this month. Hopefully it is saner than my last visit.
They’re still out there, but in far smaller numbers than two months ago.

The biggest lesson of 2020… propaganda works.
Yeah. But the human animal is unpredictable. Propaganda can work too well or have unintended effects. Ant the truth is, even glibs, are not immune to propaganda. Doom.
It’s a good thing restaurant owners are made of money. Who needs customers, right?
“We”? It’s the complete opposite in MAGAland Texas.
May God bless Texas.
Same here. People barely wore them to start with but now everyone is just ignoring mask wearing.
I was going to say the same. I went to a Rangers game the other day, where mask usage was “encouraged, but not required” and there were only about 5% of the people wearing masks and no social distancing whatsoever.
I spent most of last week camping in a state park. In 6 days I saw 3 masks. And every evening people were congregated at the dance floor and dancing in fairly crowded conditions. It was nice.
Good Morning, Banjos.
Louisiana Judge on Hawaiian vacation?
I chuckled. “Circuit Courts. How do they work?”
“It’s incredible, it’s incredible,” he said. “They can have their gathering in the Sky Palace, and yet a pastor who gathers for church outside is being arrested. Because the rules certainly don’t apply to everyone equally, and they’re not enforced to everyone equally. Like, why is it pastors that keep getting arrested from this?”
You’re a subject, bub. Not a citizen.

“A police helicopter was deployed to search for and detect this gathering, and to collect evidence against Pastor Stephens of non-compliance with public health restrictions,” …
When Stephens said Christ commanded his followers to gather together, the officer interrupted him, saying, “And he also told us wherever two or three are gathered, there he is in the midst of us, so we don’t need a huge gathering.” Stephens responded by implying the officer was taking the verse from Matthew 18 out of context.
After blaming the pastor for creating the unpleasant situation, the officer later suggested that obeying Alberta’s lockdown order was like when Jesus said Jews should pay taxes to the Roman government. “Even God said, you know, ‘Give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s,’ right? So we’re not getting into this philosophical debate,” he argued.
“And the gathering of the church is not Caesar’s,” Stephens retorted. “So that’s why we’re gathering.”
*nudges Christ*
What assholes, right?
Seriously, WTF is wrong with Canada?
Yeah, I think Canada has lost the plot.
Leave Christ out of it and it’s still grotesque all the stories we’re hearing out of there.

Creepy as fuck.

/Chipman
If only they would.
It’s C-eh, N-eh, D-eh, right?
WTF is wrong with Canada?
I’m trying to imagine how exactly it is that the cop could go home at night and look in the mirror. I mean, seriously, how in God’s creation do you count yourself a hero for stopping people from the horrible, earth-shattering crime of….praying in the woods. Nevermind bringing helicopters to hunt down the villainous wrongdoers.
It’s a matter of spite at this point. Those filthy christians are being noncompliant, dammit!
The fastest way to piss off a cop is to not obey.
Herein lies the problem with thinking that the police will be allies in the fight against tyranny.
Yeah, people seem to forget that they are literally the government’s enforcers against the public.
How could the Stasi informer go home at night and look in the mirror? How could the Auschwitz guard go home at night and look in the mirror? NKVD? Perhaps I need a disclaimer that “sure this is a bit hyperbolic” but is it really? These are the same people psychologically (and see the ward councilor below). In the Soviet Union, in Nazi Germany, in East Germany, China, this cop and the ward councilor would be part of the establishment that sent people to their deaths daily with a clean conscience. The human animal is capable of great evil and is able to justify it internally very well. Despite recurrent naivete, that can’t be programmed out in the short term. We are still capable of terrible things. We. These particular humans are just the current obvious manifestation of that and we’d be remiss not to recognize that, while arresting a pastor is not the same as sending someone to their death, it is a manifestation of the same mentality and can/will seamlessly transition to that if unchecked. And finding glee in it is a bit closer.
Precisely this.
Yes. The current situation (regarding religious expression and public health) only serves to muddle the discussion, but at the core, this is about the tendency toward evil, and humans’ ability to find justification for awful acts in an imagined moral high ground. In other circumstances, these very acts could be justified by religious believers against nonbelievers, or by any powerful group and those wishing to be adjacent to power against weaker groups.
Of course, you’re right, and I’ve commented on it before. I just wonder what the hell has happened that someone could comment that they look at this sort of action as “good”. I could see, “Well, it was unfortunate, but one of those things we had to do for the greater good…” But, “Yay, I arrested a reverend!” seems like it’s outside of the bounds of something someone would act to rationalize.
They’re not thinking “I arrested a reverend” they’re thinking “this defiant son of a bitch is still not doing what we told him to do” The original context has gone from their minds it is all about winning rather than being right. It had to escalate to get there, but they’re not seeing some beseiged chergyman, they’re seeing an antagonist.
Would they arrest the leader of a left-acceptable identity group for the same?
I think not.
The ones preaching “Obey, obey, obey”?
Those religious people are troglodytes that believe in hocus-pocus. We are simply defending ourselves from the threat that they pose to the collective.
For decades I’ve heard the talk about the War on Christianity, but I think it actually arrived in 2020.
I really don’t think this is a reflection of disdain of religious people, though there is plenty of that out there. This is simply cracking down on those who don’t obey, who don’t comply. It’s just a bit more likely in this particular context that the the religious will be more likely to defy the state in this one area. They are not being persecuted because they are religious, they are being persecuted because they are defying the “experts” and being willfully non-compliant.
But would they dare to go after a victimhood identity group for the same? I don’t think so.
Just look at the examples in the US of COVID “experts” simultaneously condemning religious gatherings and praising BLM marches as necessary for public health.
They are being targeted because there is not enough popular support among the majority to defend the religious against this persecution.
@Scruffy, below “reply” threshold.
I see your point. But it’s probably less about being religious in the current moment and more about “not enough popular support”. *Why* religious people have little enough popular – actually maybe more accurately “elite” – support to allow this to happen is an interesting question, and probably speaks to trshmnstr’s “what 40 [t]ears of postmodern Marxism gets you”.
Nonetheless, while I don’t think the proximate cause is the religious nature of the gathering, but rather the disobedience (and the same persecution would be applied to any non-approved group), I see the argument that the upstream cause is the fact that the religious fall in to a group that it is acceptable to persecute these days. Either way, not a good sign.
I really don’t think this is a reflection of disdain of religious people
Whether, in their heart of hearts, these people are acting out of malice against Christians is, in some ways, irrelevant. Personally, I’m seeing a very fast shift in a direction where making my faith known publicly is a liability. Most acutely in the career space. Is that out of malice against the faith or because of associations they make between the faith and worldview? Dunno.
More and more of my Christian friends and community members are openly talking about and planning for the coming era where we are hated. It’s coming and it’s coming soon.
they look at this sort of action as “good”
It’s what 40 tears of postmodern Marxism gets you.
When you flip everything on its head, from ethics to art to education, and you infiltrate every institution to bend it to your will, the result is a large proportion of the populace having their natural conscience reprogrammed to serve TPTB. Any time you hear the word “deconstruction”, understand that it’s not the target being deconstructed, it’s a little part of your soul.
This is the quote that gets me:
“It is soooo satisfying to press the boot down on the necks of these people…. I’m POWERFUL and I want RESPECT!”
It’s very satisfying to arrest the leaders of these congregations,
Let me guess, Gian-Carlo, you also get your rocks off kicking puppies, taking lollipops from children and tying young women to the railroad tracks.

As US states lift more coronavirus restrictions, experts are worried people who aren’t fully vaccinated could contribute to further spread of the virus.
The Delta variant, first reported in India, currently accounts for nearly 10% of coronavirus cases in the US, according to the CDC.
With concerns it could become the dominant strain soon, medical experts are underscoring the importance of full vaccination.
“I’m worried about those who are unvaccinated,” US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy told CNN Tuesday, noting the Delta variant “is rapidly increasing here in the United States.”
The CDC has determined the Delta variant is a “variant of concern,” a designation given to strains of the virus that scientists believe are more transmissible or can cause more severe disease.
The Delta variant “appears to be significantly more transmissible than even the Alpha variant or the UK variant, which is now dominant in the United States,” Murthy told CNN.
First thing we do, let’s kill all the public health experts.
Well, yeah, respiratory viruses typically mutate to become more transmissible and less dangerous. Which is why pandemics peter out on their own even without any vaccines. We’ve known this for a very long time.
The more lethal the disease, the quicker it will ‘burn out’.
The delta variant is slower and more acoustic. The Chicago variant is electrified and fast/loud. I’m more of the Chicago school on this.
Delta man, myself. Too much electricity in the Chicago variant for my tastes.
Fauci went to the crossroads and made a deal with the Devil for fame, power and a cure for COVID.

Since the shutdown criteria were arbitrary used to further a governor’s political career, so to are the re-opening.
VT opened when 80% had been fully vaccinated .
NY did when 70% had their first shot. And Cuomo is crowing about how this proves that everything he did was right (shhh. He’s rolling). So “public health officials” can go pound sand, their opinions are no longer relevant.
So…are any of the current commie cough shots designed to combat this particular mutation? If not, what good would getting those shots actually accomplish?
/Not a doctor
I’ve seen at least one blurb go through my news feed that the current vaccination regime provides “significant” protection against the Delta variant. Of course, I didn’t bother clicking through to read the article.
/waits for the Omega variant
Yeah I’m not sure of the mechanism but maybe the variants haven’t had enough time to evolve to be different enough from the original lab creation. Their biochemistry is still similar enough that the antibodies work on them, apparently.
I would expect that to be more of a strain….
The entire theater is going to start from scratch again in the fall so it doesn’t really matter. Enjoy a bit of freedom while it lasts, America.
How did we get to the Delta variant by skipping the Gamma ?

Is it a big step to go from ignoring stories you don’t like, embellishing the language of those you like, creating outright lies from “anonymous sources” and then deciding that you need some sources, so you then threaten people to be those sources and say what you want (regardless of if they tell the truth)?
Why bother with named sources? They aren’t as reliable as the brave people who have to remain anonymous.
Even the most woke of idiots has now started worrying that when sources are unnamed, they run the risk of having someone hit their proggy boner with a hammer later when the story turns out to be made the fuck up, and so the media is now responding to that reality by forcing people to say what their narrative wants…
That’s a smoking gun. Unfortunately, nothing ever comes of these things.
Maybe more people will boycott Fox. Fox news has been banned in my home since November.

Good Morning! The weather is even more perfect here today. Days like this make me wonder why I ever wanted to live in California. Maybe having 4 seasons ain’t so bad after all?
I think the monotony is why so many Californians are high. That, and it lets them ignore the boot.
There are four seasons here, but one of them (spring) kind of sucks.
Still vastly better than Houston which has four seasons, there of which are summer and the fourth is “not-summer.”
Thunderstorms and cool temps for yet another summer here. No complaints TBH.
California has four seasons: fire, flood, quake, riot
New Jersey has two seasons: winter, and construction.

One after another, some of the most conservative members of the House of Representatives took to the stage at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday to denounce Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top medical adviser to President Biden, and to air other pandemic-related grievances.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who was introducing a bill to reduce Fauci’s salary to $0 and have him account for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, led the attacks. The proposed legislation, called the Fire Fauci Act, stands no chance of passage in a House controlled by Democrats.
Nevertheless, the highly vituperative affair — replete with reminders that Fauci was an “unelected bureaucrat” — was indicative of how the bespectacled, Brooklyn-born immunologist continues to be at the center of every ongoing debate related to the coronavirus, including the economic costs of lockdowns (low, says a new study, though there are, of course, social and psychic costs to isolation) and the efficacy of wearing masks (exceptionally high, the discomfort of masking aside).
——-
Firing him would be difficult, since Fauci is a senior public servant, not an appointed official. Nor are congressional Democrats, or the president, bound to take personnel advice from the most radical members of the opposition party, some of whom called into question Biden’s legitimate victory in last November’s election.
How dare those rabid lunatics defame Saint Foochy?
How dare they politicize the worst most terrifyingest threat to humanity’s survival since the Great Flood?
The economic cost of the lockdowns is low? Compared to orbital bombardment, I guess.
Well, depending on your role in society, getting all those checks from the state and Uncle Sugar for not working enhanced finances for some.
Also, a lot of fraudsters cleaned up, too.
If you’re a Governor, there’s like, no effects at all.
Low economic cost? They aren’t even trying to make their lies believable anymore.
Okay, God I hate journalists. That’s not what your own link says you moron (directed to the writer). The study they link to says that stricter lockdown states did better economically than looser ones. Even if that’s true, I’m not looking into it, that does NOT mean the cost of the lockdowns in general were low. How do these people even look themselves in the mirror with all the BS they spew.
“Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
You know… I’ve heard multiple experts on this very site state that the economic cost of the lockdown were low. Why would you question the consensus?

On my last trip to the store, I saw the distributor’s merchandiser stocking and asked him what was going on. Evidently, Miller/Coors/InBev/SAB (whoever the fuck they are this week) are ending the “Milwaukees Beast” line of all flavors, including Diet. So I switch to Miller Lite ($19.99/24 vs $16.00/30 for my MBL)

Garland also committed Tuesday to reconvening the Domestic Terrorism Executive Committee, originally created by former Attorney General Janet Reno after the Oklahoma City bombing as a way to facilitate information sharing among agencies.
This new strategy also includes a focus on better ways to screen and vet federal government employees, law enforcement and service members who might pose a domestic terror threat from inside critical positions.
The Defense Department will incorporate training for retiring or separating servicemembers in order to help them identify extremists’ attempts to target and mobilize them for their skills.
A review of attorney statements, military service records and court documents obtained by CBS News found that at least 51 of those arrested stemming from their participation in the January 6 rioting at the Capitol are current or former military members. Of those, one is an active-duty service member, four are current part-time troops in the Army Reserve or National Guard, and 45 previously served in the military.
Similarly, CBS News has learned that at least 12 of those arrested were either former police officers or were employed as law enforcement officers at the time of the riot, according to court documents and employment records. Prosecutors also charged at least one current firefighter and one retired firefighter.
A senior administration official told reporters in a briefing Monday that the Office of Professional Management, the human resources division for the federal government, will review and consider updating hiring forms to improve the vetting and weed out applicants who could be domestic terrorists or potentially pose an insider threat. The Departments of Justice, Defense and Homeland Security are also looking at steps to improve their vetting procedures for personnel.
Maybe they should have them sign a loyalty oath.
They already do, but up until now it’s been to the Constitution.
A belief in the validity of the Constitution is only held by extremists, this is known.
The problem is that those that fancy themselves the elite and in charge are pissed with the people because the people are not smart enough to see how wise and great they are. More importantly, the unwashed masses have this insane belief that if their ruling elite do things that hurt them but enrich the ruling elite, that they should be able to replace the ruling elite with people that remember that they rule by the will and mandate of the unwashed masses…
They really put their military and police expertise to maximum use. Maybe they were all clerks.
They already have half the officer corps. Why do they want to control the enlisted ranks?
Because the officer corps aren’t the ones that will be required to point a gun at their fellow citizens.

Kim Jong Un Says North Korea Faces Food Crisis Due to Flooding
So does anybody know what the missile launch / inspection playbook is here? Do you become more aggressive so you attract attention and agree to some kind of limits so that you get some of the US taxpayer subsidized food aid? Normally it also causes problems as starving people sneak into China. So that will also be interesting.
How was the food situation before the flooding?
Well, Kim Jong-un doesn’t seem to be having much trouble finding food.

That was fast: Jon Stewart’s rant is a reminder: Don’t rely on celebrities for covid-19 theories
This theory has become associated with conservatives trying to prove that former president Donald Trump was right about everything. Yet Stewart apparently thinks it’s the only plausible explanation for the source of the virus.
This provides an important lesson about celebrities: You shouldn’t get your political opinions from them, or your scientific opinions either.

But it’s not that. On the lab leak question, I’m agnostic. Might that be where the virus came from? Sure. Or maybe not. But it matters only for the historical record and questions like “What should international virology lab safety standards require?” As a political question, it’s pretty much irrelevant.
They are done with you Jon.
As a political question, the relevance is the hysterical denial and censoring of any mention of the possibility in order to protect the leftist narrative and hurt Trump.
It’s ok to say the virus leaked from a lab. We’ve always been at war with Eastasia
“That’s just because this time a liberal celebrity is taking a position you don’t like!”
That is exactly what I’m going to say. I’ll also say that I think you doth protest too much.
“But it’s not that.”
Yes, it is 100% that.
“But it matters only for the historical record and questions like “What should international virology lab safety standards require?” As a political question, it’s pretty much irrelevant”
“At this point what difference does it make”, isn’t a dodge, it’s an ideology.
People tend to forget that Stewart has never had any respect for journalism. As much as I disagree with him 90% of the time, he was one of the ones who early on pegged modern MSM as the repeaters-of-talking-points that they have become, and he is rightly convinced that their actual research/investigative skills are basically zero.
“officers showed up at Stephens’ home to arrest him for allegedly violating a court order by leading an outdoor church service with hundreds of other Christians on June 6[…]’A police helicopter was deployed to search for and detect this gathering, and to collect evidence against Pastor Stephens of non-compliance with public health restrictions'”
The term “Canuckistan” has never been more appropriate.
I weep for my Nation.
In several ways.
I bet mosques aren’t being shut down by paratroopers.
I think the Minneapolis movers and shakers are worried. The last few weeks I have seen countless stories in the local paper about new stores opening in downtown and how workers are coming back.
The local paper might not give a shit about protesters burning shit down, or Ilhan Omar marrying her brother and filing fraudulent tax returns, but they sure do want a vibrant downtown where there offices are located.
To me it stinks of a PR blitz. Opening a bar where you throw axes doesn’t seem like the kind of economic activity that would be going on in a place where people were clamoring to go.
The same sort of planted stories also goes on when we talk about solar power. Tons of fluff about all the great jobs building solar farms, but never a peep about how much they are getting subsidized.
A reasonable fear. Remember when City Center was shithole central? I do.
But once an area has been gentrified, it can never go to a shithole again.
/looks at the third gentrification of the East Bank of the CLE Flats in my lifetime.
I worked at a Radio Shack in City Center when it was a shithole. Yeah, I remember all to well.

I thought insurance companies were refusing policies on businesses in places like Downtown Portland and Minneapolis?
There are generally civil unrest exclusions in inland marine policies.
Inland marine – when you need to insure that bridge.
Redling is verboten. OTH, you can raise rates within limits and require detailed loss control inspections.
That said lots of this stuff was non-standard anyhow so relatively easy to non-renew or decline.
Why wouldn’t they want to insure downtown Minneapolis businesses? Did they read too much into the letter that the city sent to businesses before the Chauvin trial telling them that the cops wouldn’t be protecting them from looters and they should hire their own security (properly licensed of course)?
Progressive agenda
The White House plans to name progressive tech critic Lina Khan as chair of the Federal Trade Commission, according to a source familiar with the matter. The news came just hours after she was confirmed by the Senate to be a commissioner of the agency on Tuesday.
——-
As chair, Khan will have the ability to steer the direction of the agency to a greater extent than she would as a commissioner. That makes the announcement a significant statement on President Joe Biden’s intended direction for the commission, suggesting he wants to see a progressive agenda.
——-
Khan’s confirmation signals a bipartisan desire to impose more regulations on Big Tech companies like Facebook, Amazon, Alphabet and Apple. She received the support of several Republicans, including Commerce Committee Ranking Member Roger Wicker, R-Miss., who participated in her confirmation hearing.
Still, others like Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust, opposed her confirmation. Lee has tended to be cautious about certain types of regulation despite concerns about tech companies’ influence and previously expressed apprehension about Khan’s experience.
Khan became a well-known figure in antitrust circles after writing “Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox” for the Yale Law Review in 2017, while a student at the university. The paper made the case for using a different framework for evaluating competitive harm than the popular consumer welfare standard. That standard essentially says that antitrust law violations can be determined based on harm to consumers, which is often measured based on prices.
But Khan argued that standard could miss significant competitive harm in the modern economy, such as predatory pricing that lowers consumer prices in the short term but allows a company that can afford it to quickly gain market share. She also argued that both owning and selling on a marketplace, like Amazon does, could allow a business to exploit information across their ecosystem to undercut the competition.
She can rewrite the rule book to ensure equity and inclusion.
Is there a documented instance of “predatory pricing” happening and actually succeeding long-term at consolidating market share for one company?
3 times between the headline, the key points, and the first word of the article call this chick “progressive”. It’s used a half dozen times in this single piece.
Yeah, this will end well.
“suggesting
heObama wants to see a progressive agenda.” FIFYBiden doesn’t even know what day it is.
Well, well, well. Interesting updates in the story of the guy who rammed into the protest and killed a woman.
1) He is white. My speculation that he must not have been white or else the riots would be bigger was wrong.
2) He is a drunk and looks like this wasn’t political.
3) He has some great excuses
4) Police are arresting people and removing barricades to prevent a second autonomous zone. I guess the victim (Deona Knajdek) should have had a more pronounceable name if she wanted a square named after her.
5) The camera that would have captured the accident had been spray painted over by a protester who was there to support noted city light Winston Smith.
Jesus H. Burton !
C’mon, Jack!
Anyone married to Jenna Elfman would react the same way.
He just wanted to get his kids to the super bowl.
Court records also show his driver’s license was canceled in 2013 because he was found to be “inimical to public safety.”
He’s a hazard to navigation.
In the years since, Khan has become a recognized name among those in the field and a noted figure among progressives eager to see more expansive enforcement of antitrust laws. She participated in the House Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust investigation into Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google, helping to compile the report from Democratic staff that found each held monopoly power.
The report recommended legislative reforms to reinvigorate competition in digital markets, which informed several recent proposals introduced by subcommittee members last week. Khan specifically worked on the Google section of the Democratic report. The company has since been sued on antitrust grounds by the Department of Justice and several states.
——-
“Congress created the FTC to safeguard fair competition and protect consumers, workers, and honest businesses from unfair & deceptive practices,” Khan tweeted following the vote. “I look forward to upholding this mission with vigor and serving the American public.”
We’re saved.

It would seem that the aides responsible for positioning Joe’s remains were sleeping on the job.
I don’t know, what can you get from a single still photo?
The body language is… interesting and I am not sure how a man with intact genitals can cross his legs that tight.
Maybe he forgot his diaper and is trying not to piss himself.
I guess my point is that body language is hard to read when one or more of the people in the photo might be moving from pose to pose (not pose in the sense of “being posed” but in a natural act of motion), and a single frame won’t tell you much.
That is true, although all of the photos I have seen of that particular event reflect the same dynamic.
I am *really* not interested in the state of Joe’s genitals.
You’d be amazed at what contortions are possible when you’re desperately trying not to fill your Depends…

A federal judge in Louisiana issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Biden administration from pausing new oil and gas leases on federal land.
Judge Terry A. Doughty of the U.S. District Court in Monroe said the administration doesn’t have the legal right to stop leasing federal territory for oil-and-gas production without approval from Congress.

Project Veritas released insider footage featuring an interview with suspended FOX 26 reporter Ivory Hecker, who blew the whistle on her own network during Monday’s live report, for what she says are acts of deception.
I watched the video last night. I wasn’t overly impressed with the video. The bit about HCQ stories being spiked was interesting, but overall I wasn’t impressed.
For Hype: About the bits of the video where the Project Veritas reporter interviews other Fox employees: I don’t know what Fox’s policies are, but at some companies it will not matter what they say. At some corporations I’ve worked for, if you haven’t received permission from the corporate press office to talk to the press, you are in deep shit. It won’t matter what you’ve said. Maybe Fox 26’s policies aren’t as strict as those companies, and so maybe those employees are in the clear.

I did pass the practical this year, so I’ve got that going for me.
I am a bit concerned with the ERT. Typically it’s been filled with various wrench-turners and tradesmen. But this class was me, a facilities tech and the rest were “EHS professionals,” all of whom were 20-something NY trailer trash. One of the two women was hot in way that not-over-the-hill-yet skanks can be and spent the entire time trying to get the instructor to bang her.
…emergency vehicle operations course…
So J-Turns, Pit maneuvers, and shooting through the windshield?
Alas no. But our biggest fire truck (formerly of the Edina MN FD) Is so much easier to drive than the second largest (a 1983 GMC with the typical wire-thin bakelite steering wheel and an tachometer measured in x100 RPM)

Currently taking “Preventing Workplace Harassment” training. You know the memes about how the left can’t meme which meme the meme by putting two thousands of words of text over the image?

Welp…looked over the links in both the article and the comments. I think we have arrived in USSR land. Biden is calling for people to rat out their own family members and choking off basic resources while the cootie bugs are being used to kill off nearly all private industry. Hell, I can’t even buy a lawn mower. Soon we will be standing in bread lines.

Been taking Lily to the dog park a few days a week, and it’s got to be one of the best things for my soul that I’ve done for a long time. There is a Weimaraner there that has some kind of space-warping ability since it take five slow motion steps and travels 30 yards, all of the while his back remains straight and level. Then there are the border collies that are just speed personified. Lily is too shambling in the gait to be inspirational when she runs, but when she plays she just radiates pure joy.
Stop, you are giving me a case of the sqeeees.
“For squees lasting longer than 4 hours see your doctor. Or veterinarian.”
My favorite memories from trips to the dog park with the old mutt were watching the pack of dogs chasing a ball thrown by one owner. The main bunch would be labs that were all bumping and pushing each other while running. On the fringes would be the collies and whippets that had learned to use speed on the outside because they’d get rolled if they mixed it up with the labs.
I didn’t know Texas has an official state handgun.
The Candrsenal Colt Walker episode mentions Texas having an official state handgun. I looked it up.
Yep:
Ah yes, another act of political theater has passed through the Texas legislature.
In lieu of doing something constructive, Gov. Greg Abbott took it upon himself this weekend to name an “official handgun of Texas.”
In any case, our official handgun is now the 1847 Colt Walker pistol, according to Abbott, who lauded the old gun used during the Mexican-American War.
Of course it’s a gun they don’t make anymore.
You can still get’em. I think several companies still make them. I image all of their customers are re-enactors.
Really?! I would think that they would go with a Single Action Army.
Well, the Walker Colt was designed with input from a Texas Ranger. So they have a greater jingoistic attachment to that revolver over the SAA.
I suppose that makes some sort of sense.
Was it Walker, Texas Ranger?
Yes.
Why didn’t they just choose a flintlock?
If only Cuomo would follow his example. And if he runs out of official state noun proclamations, surely there are shopping malls or gas stations he could cut the ribbon at.

I don’t mind lawmakers taking up their time with this. The alternative is them making laws and nobody needs that.

Kim Jong Un Attends Ivy League University To Learn New Brainwashing Techniques
According to sources, beloved North Korean tyrant and lover of doughnuts Kim Jong Un is now attending Columbia University, a prestigious Ivy League school, to learn new brainwashing techniques for his regime.
“I thought I knew all there was to know about communist indoctrination, but I was wrong,” said the ruthless dictator to reporters after sitting through a 2-hour lecture on why fidget spinners are a remnant of Western patriarchal oppression. “Your American college professors have this down to an art!”

Outrage machine spools up
The House has overwhelmingly passed legislation to award the Congressional Gold Medal to the police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the January 6 riots.
Lawmakers approved the award for the Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C. by a vote of 406-21. All the “no” votes came from Republicans.
The 21 GOP lawmakers include ardent supporters of former President Donald Trump, some who have attempted to downplay the events of January 6 and others who have previously been linked to the QAnon conspiracy theory.
After the vote, a number of the Republican “no” voters said they took issue with the language used in the bill, which described the rioters as “a mob of insurrectionists.”
——-
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia said she had voted against the bill because it referred to the Capitol as a “temple.”
“I wouldn’t call it an insurrection,” Greene told Politico.
Heroes. HEROES, I tell you. They put their lives on the line to defend the Sacred Temple of DEMOCRACY!
“In recognition of their steadfast service and bravery in the face of violent opposition, the U.S. Congress hereby bestows the honor of the Congressional Gold Medal upon [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDACTED].”
Thank you all for your service. Due to the defunding clause in the bill, you are now all fired.
If they were supposed to keep rioters out of the building, then they did a shit job of it.
Who knows what atrocities Ashley Babbitt would have committed if not for the bravery of an unnamed officer.
On the conspiracy circuit, I’ve seen murmors that her shooter might have been a congresscritter (whose name eludes me), along with purported photographic evidence.
I wasn’t convinced beyond a reasonable doubt, but it was an interesting idea.
Wow, that’s the first I’d ever heard of that. Sounds pretty farfetched. That would require some pretty convincing evidence.

If the Capitol is a temple, we need Jesus 2.0 to come back with a scourge and drive out the liars, crooks and money changers currently infesting the place.
A number of lawmakers expressed their outrage at the representatives who had voted against the motion.
“How you can vote no to this is beyond me,” tweeted Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois who is an outspoken critic of Trump.
“Then again, denying an insurrection is as well. To the brave Capitol (and DC metro PD) thank you. To the 21: they will continue to defend your right to vote no anyway.”
Treason!
That fuckstick needs to resign, go home and get a job stocking groceries…you know, something actually beneficial to society.
