What’s with that thin blue line?
The NBA season has finally come to an end, as Milwaukee (who appeared to wear some Blue Lives Matter tribute on their uniforms, unless somebody could explain the stripe to me) beat the Suns. The USWNT got their taints kicked in by Sweden in the Olympic opener. Deion Sanders got the red ass for no reason. The Oakland Athletics are one step closer from leaving that shithole of a city. The Astros beat Cleveland, as usual. And that’s sports.

Right, let’s get on to…the links!
Won’t somebody think of the poor election officials? Sorry, but I’ve got no sympathy. Stuff like this shouldn’t be a career anyway, and with the lack of transparency across the board it’s no wonder these people are feeling a little heat. You want to keep your little sincure? Then be more open about literally every single thing that happens.
Yikes.
If you’re gonna troll, be more careful. Or do it in a way that’s not criminal. Hopefully he gets a lighter sentence than the two carjacking teens who murdered a guy in DC. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he got the book thrown at him. Either way, he’s a bit of a dumbass.
Money printer go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I bet little of this ends up in the hands of single property landlords (like me) whose tenants simply stopped paying out of convenience. But never fear…local and state officials will get their hooks in it to dole out at their discretion in order to effectively buy votes. How do I now this is how it’ll end up? Because I’m not a retard.
Thank the union as much as this crooked piece of shit
Remember, the guy who caused all this got a mere 22 months in jail. Why? Because “fuck you”, that’s why. But don’t worry. The taxpayers will ultimately be on the hook for his, and his entire unit’s, criminality. Because “fuck you again”, that’s why.
I think we all know the answer to this question is “Well, duh!”. Because that appears to be the case more often than it’s not the FBI entrapping people. But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe paying for the meetings and adding recruits, most of which were also informants, doesn’t count as entrapment. But it does.
I was wondering when he’d get around to this. After all, it was a signature policy under his old boss. Christ, what an asshole.
Some common sense coming from schools in Chicago. Don’t act surprised. They’re private schools. If you think public schools, and their union masters, are gonna let kids be free to be kids, you’re sadly mistaken.
Oh well. Don’t blame the customers. Blame the government.
I just want to know if Maria Menounos is involved. But I can do without Jamie Kennedy. Either way, welcome back to the 80s!
And in that vein, I give you this. Makes me want to pull out my cardboard boxes and do some windmills.
Right, now get out there and have a great day, dear friends!
whaddup doh’
Fun fact- Ken Starr was part of Trump’s legal defense team for the 1st impeachment show
I meant to point out too that he was part of Epstein’s defense team for that 1st nasty mess with kids.
Wasn’t he part of both?
Not that I care. Every defendant is entitled to counsel. Even shitbags.
Especially shitbags
I dont mind when the shitbag walks on a “technicality” because it shows me that the state hasn’t made a solid case.
Yep. Cross those T’s and dot the I’s or none of it matters. Shitbag walks? Do better next time, tyrant.
Re: “fuck” from the previous thread – My old 1st Sgt., a crusty, illiterate, alcoholic (who was drafted into Vietnam) had a favorite with which he would pepper every single sentence he uttered; often several times. The word was “God’amnMotherFuckin‘”, and you would be forgiven for thinking he had Tourette’s for the very tick-like way he used the run-on word in several times in every single sentence.
My experience was an old guy that used “Cocksuckin”. He’d tone it down around the ladies.

Hawaii has had unique problems through the COVID-19 pandemic, largely surrounding the behavior of tourists. The state’s economy is dependant on visitors but that has proven a double-edged sword through the virus, as many tourists have broken the rules and aggravated locals who are trying to stop the virus spread.
Fucking islanders.
G_d damn howlies
Yeah, why won’t the fuckers just come here, give us their money, then lock themselves up in a hotel room and live off Cheetos and jerking off?

Hi. This is Wilford Brimley. Welcome to Retardation: A Celebration. Now, hopefully with this book, I’m gonna dispel a few myths, a few rumors. First off, the retarded don’t rule the night. They don’t rule it. Nobody does. And they don’t run in packs. And while they may not be as strong as apes, don’t lock eyes with ’em, don’t do it. Puts ’em on edge. They might go into berzerker mode; come at you like a whirling dervish, all fists and elbows. You might be screaming “No, no, no” and all they hear is “Who wants cake?” Let me tell you something: They all do. They all want cake.
THEY ALL WANT CAKE!!!!

Fun with numbers
Life expectancy in the United States declined by a year and a half in 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which says the coronavirus is largely to blame.
COVID-19 contributed to 74% of the decline in life expectancy from 78.8 years in 2019 to 77.3 years in 2020, according to the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics.
It was the largest one-year decline since World War II, when life expectancy dropped by 2.9 years between 1942 and 1943. Hispanic and Black communities saw the biggest declines.
——-
The increase in drug overdose deaths was also a factor in declining life expectancy. More than 93,000 people died from drug overdoses in 2020. That’s the highest number reported in a single year. Other causes of death contributing to the decline were increases in homicide and deaths from diabetes and chronic liver disease.
——-
Study author Steven Woolf of the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, told NPR’s Allison Aubrey, “We have not seen a decrease like this since World War II. It’s a horrific decrease in life expectancy.”
“It is impossible to look at these findings and not see a reflection of the systemic racism in the U.S.,” Lesley Curtis, chair of the Department of Population Health Sciences at Duke University School of Medicine, told NPR.
“The range of factors that play into this include income inequality, the social safety net, as well as racial inequality and access to health care,” Curtis said.
RACISM KILLZ,
Let’s blame Trump, shall we?
More than 93,000 people died from drug overdoses in 2020. That’s the highest number reported in a single year.
Whoa, heavy man.
I’m willing to bet that most of those were well under the 77 year average. And wasn’t the average age of people who died with the ‘vid over 80?
Exactly so. I’m no mathemagician but I’d since the group with the highest overdose deaths is 35-44 it has a much higher impact on the life expectancy than covid. It’s not even close.
Many of the people who died of drug overdoses also tested positive for covid, so …
[wild applause]
I don’t know how life expectancy is calculated but it certainly makes sense that a spike in young people dying will have a greater effect on life expectancy than a spike in old people dying. How to lie with statistics…
Yes. This is just straight up fucking lying. Or – and this is entirely possible – the reporter is too fucking dumb to understand the basics of a weighted average. Which is at least as likely as malice.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
The COVID hysteria and nonsense is only possible with a mostly illiterate and innumerate population. This is what state run education gets you.
There is absolutely NO FUCKING WAY the lockdown bullshit could have happened with a reasonably numerate and literate population.
The entire thing is built on transparent lies if you really have the basics down cold.
They never even sequenced the genome for the virus – the paper claiming they did is horseshit. Read what was actually done in the methodology section of that paper that was touted all over the media as being the “proof” they sequenced it. Read the methodology and it tells you they didn’t separate out the virus from some of the other “slurry” that was in the centrifuge. They sequenced the virus+ (some other unknown products). Then they used a computer program to “fill in the gaps.” It’s all complete horseshit. The whole fucking thing.
Oh, and btw, see also global warming. Same fucking obvious horseshit.
That’s why everything now is “models” and the rubes just blindly follow.
I don’t know about the claim about not sequencing the virus; my son is a PhD in biochem working for a company that sells sequencing equipment and he seems convinced about the science there.
For that kind of stupidity, I’m damn near willing to shorten their life expectancy.
It is impossible to look at these findings and not see a reflection of the systemic racism in the U.S.

Whaaa? I thought they were so unstoppably dominant that they were better than the men’s team?
I actively dislike the USWNT. I hope they lose all three matches and come home embarrassed.
Then I hope they win their lawsuit, they’re disassociated from the USMNT when it comes to revenue generation from advertising, and they’re forced to actually negotiate their contract on the revenue they specifically generate rather than glomming off MLS and US Soccer ad revenue for the upcoming WC.
Of course that would never happen because their league would be bankrupt in about 3 weeks and their ad revenue would be shit on their own.
That would be unFAIR!
They are bitching & complaining because they simply want free shit like all other victims…
It would be “unfair” but it would also be justice.
I was hoping a little country like Latvia would send a high school boys team who identify as women – and beat them 20-0.
Hmmm. I’m trying to think of a country that both DGAF about international opinion and also doesn’t persecute transfolk that could enact that plan. Because it would be hilarious.
I think the Slavs or Mygars would be up for a good troll.

Thumb sucking morons
As President Joe Biden scrambles to convince hesitant Americans to get the Covid-19 vaccine, his White House has largely steered clear of Fox News, the major cable news outlet whose opinion hosts and guests have been spreading unsubstantiated fears about vaccinations.
The White House has so far taken an arms-length approach to Fox, despite its strong following among supporters of former President Donald Trump, who watch the network more regularly than any other cable outlet, and are less likely to be vaccinated than the average American. Administration officials have appeared only sparingly on the network to discuss the necessity of the vaccine and counter persistent doubts about its efficacy being voiced there. And off of Fox’s airwaves, they have been reluctant to call out the network.
That’s a contrast with the administration’s approach to social media platforms where vaccine misinformation has spread. Last week, Biden accused Facebook of “killing” people for not doing more to remove such misinformation—an accusation he later toned down.
——-
Though the pandemic has made the stakes much higher, Democrats have long been vexxed about the degree to which they should engage Fox News. In the fall of 2009, the Obama White House went to war with the network amid rising frustration with the conspiratorial chalkboard musings of then-host Glenn Beck. They excluded Chris Wallace from a round of presidential Sunday show interviews and blacklisted Fox from a Treasury Department background briefing.
“We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,” said Obama’s communications director Anita Dunn, who now serves in a senior adviser role for Biden. “[W]e don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.”
Eventually, the White House backed down after Fox News’ competitors rallied to its side. But the animus lingered throughout Obama’s time in office, and it remains to this day. Bill Burton, who was the deputy press secretary at the time of the Obama-Fox fracas, said he believes Fox is “worse now than it was then.” He suggested that the FCC “look at them” as a “danger to the country.”
“Why can’t we just stand them up against the wall and shoot them?
They’re under no obligation to appear on Fox, but they need to tread lightly on the whole anti-1A sentiment or they’re going to face some pushback from the courts for chilling free speech.
Lol, just kidding. Nobody’s gonna do shit as they eviscerate free speech by pressuring platforms to remove their political opponents.
NPR ran a happy story yesterday about how Biden’s gotten Fox News to change their tune on vaxes.
Even more surprising, their Marketwatch segment referred to IJ as a “public interest group.” Undoubtedly because their client was a Chicagoland WoC.
his White House has largely steered clear of Fox News
Unity/healing/etc.
“[W]e don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.” … He suggested that the FCC “look at them” as a “danger to the country.
Any opposition to the Biden-Harris regime is domestic-terrorist white-supremes that must be silenced and destroyed. Also, Donald Trump is a fascist.

It’s a year too late – https://youtu.be/TfGZOmcR-nU
A Connecticut teenager was arrested after he allegedly gained access to a school’s database and changed a yearbook caption to an Adolf Hitler quote and altered another one to include the name of a Boston Marathon bomber.
And yet the infamous quotes cannot be found in the article.
“There is no place for any of this anywhere in our school system,” officials said. “We recognize that racism and privilege exist in our society. As a district we have committed ourselves to examining our school system and our school culture and to dismantling any practices that support inequality, privilege, and racism.”
Leftists have no sense of humor.
He should have put in Mao, Stalin, or Pol Pot quotes about how well meaning their body count racket was. That would have been well received and even likely gathered applause… Hitler was such a bad socialist for opposing marxism that he has become the ultimate face of evil. But the commies that really racked up a body count larger than the deaths in the big wars of the 20th century and kept over 3 billion people living in marxist hell we are told simply didn’t get marxism right…
If he had done that, nobody would have noticed. They would have thought it was just quotes from some of the teachers.
LOLOLOL
“allegedly gained access to a school’s database”
So, will any school official be punished for practicing poor data security? Because I’m thinking the password was written on a sticky note kept under the keyboard.

I see it all the time in sports where the superstars they slobber over are “Roger” and “Rafa” and “Serena” (as examples from tennis) and everyone else is last-name only. It’s nauseating.
First name only is for family and friends. Fuck pretentious assholes who demand you use titles and honorifics outside a professional capacity.
Eh, people call Nick Saban by his first name all the time at press conferences. He doesn’t get shitty about it and he’s the best coach in college football. Same goes for Dabo Swhiney and Ryan Day, the other two of the best three coaches.

So I was doing my usual walk at 6 30 this morning minding my own business and traffic was much worse than usual where I was walking. Apparently this was because two of the main very busy thoroughfares in the area were closed, choking traffic. I don’t want to know how it was at 8 30.
I walked by saw hundreds of cops and gendarmes and fences along the sidewalks and police tape. What the fuck is going on I think?
I asked and apparently they were preparing for a large parade commemorating the Romanian army withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Fuckin hell. This is why they fuck up the traffic? DO it on Sunday or some shit. Or not at all what the fuck is there to parade about?
How will you be able to show support if you are not inconvenienced?
Romania has an army? They sent it to Afghanistan? That’s amazing. I consider myself less myopic than most Americans but at the end of the day I am American to a fault.
Vampire army. They only work at night.
I was near “Camp Dracula” – see, the Romanian Army has a sense of humor – when I was at Talill in Iraq.
I thought that was a thing. You posted a photo of such, right?
I would not mind being similarly inconvenienced, on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, we do not have any withdrawals to commemorate.
Speak for yourself. I am coming up on a 1 year anniversary.
Glad you’re done and back in one piece. Others remain, however, still others will be deployed elsewhere.

“We’re in danger of losing a generation’s worth of professional election expertise,” added David Becker, who runs the nonprofit Center for Election Innovation and Research that works with election administrators. “That would be bad enough if it weren’t also combined with the fact that they might be replaced with partisan hackery.”
It already happened.

These people are quitting because they no longer will be able to help one party cheat. Don’t pretend otherwise please.

The US military on Tuesday carried out an airstrike against terrorist militants in Somalia — the first such strike in the country since President Joe Biden took office in January.

But at least we got to detonate some expensive ordinance.

ACKSHUALLY!, Trump was bombing the shit out of Somalia too. One article I read said 2019 saw an average of about one airstrike a week.
We have always been at war with Somalia, comrade!
Matt Bennett, a top official at the centrist Democratic group Third Way and regular Fox News guest, said he saw no upside in the White House calling out the network for pushing vaccine disinformation. “Facebook might respond to pressure from the White House with constructive action,” he said. “Fox is likely to do the opposite.”
And though he is comfortable engaging with Fox’s dayside hosts, he predicted it would backfire if the White House were to put officials — even health experts from the Covid task force — on the evening programs.
“The problem with people like Hannity, and this is true for the whole primetime lineup, is they don’t let you talk, they shout you down, they get the last word by offering a blizzard of bullshit,” Bennett said.
How droll. It’s not fair when somebody does it to us.

“In May, Dana Nessel, Michigan’s attorney general, said that her state was ‘the original home of the militia movement,’ and the Southern Poverty Law Center currently identifies 22 ‘extreme antigovernment groups’ active in the state.
Timothy McVeigh trained with a group called the Michigan Militia Corps prior to carrying out the Oklahoma City bombing.”
That’s something to be proud of, you tyrant. Also nobody ever seems to bring up *why* McVeigh decided to bomb a federal building. It must have just happened out of the blue with no preceding event or motivation.
Yep, it takes two to retaliate.
Not to mention that the Michigan militia kicked mcveigh out and reported him to the cops because he was too crazy for them.
Is she bragging?
I wish
Pretty sure Massachusetts was the original home of the militia movement.
Re Michigan plot: The FBI has been entrapping the slow witted, and occasionally the not so slow witted, with manufactured plots for quite some time. Obviously this should be stopped but what’s particularly new here, the fact that the feds might outnumber the alleged perps?
Yep, the FBI has been famously “foiling” plots for decades by trolling online communities for young Muslim men that they could convince to do illegal things, something that the right has either outright endorsed or hand-waved away.
Interestingly though, Tucker Carlson made a point recently on his show to basically fess up to being on the wrong side of that issue for a long time when he talked about the feds possibly infiltrating the Capital Hill Selfie Tour.
The Patriot Act, the gift that keeps on giving.
I will admit that a younger me was on the wrong side of this as well.

The popular uprising against Cuba’s totalitarian communist dictatorship has been a source of bad media takes and dopey whataboutism, but Telemundo’s morning anchor raced to the top of the fetid pile with his use of the SOS Cuba protests as an instrument with which to bash Republicans over Texas’ election security legislation.
Watch as Nacho Lozano bizarrely links the two on morning show Hoy Día, and take note of which Republicans’ tweets are on display as he goes on his rant:
Attempts at election integrity are the same as communist dictatorship I guess.
One would make the case that people that want to count the votes and always favor one party rule actually are the ones that are doing things just like they do it in a communist dictatorship, but these people are not able to do real logic or facts… To them democracy means the democrat party candidate wins, I guess..
Why don’t I see any stories about how well the politics of equity worked out in South Africa, huh? Like Cuba, the media has no interest in covering stories that seem to make team blue’s marxist wing seem like the scum they are for downplaying the body count they pine to make happen in the USA?
I also want to point out that despite the Two Gorges dam failing and flooding the plains with some 10 million farmers now being turned into Olympic swimmers, the CCP news apparatus reports no deaths have occurred and nobody has been inconvenienced. China is so boss that, just like with the Kung Flu, nobody there dies from this sort of shit….

China really is the best. We are so lucky to have a president that shows the proper fealty to the middle kingdom.
That was because of Global Warming (which is the fault of the US) not COVID (which is also the fault of the US)
Couldn’t be the shoddy construction that everyone with two firing neurons knew about or the fact that everything that the Chinese do comes from them first stealing IP and plans from others that have actually put time into figuring shit out for real, and then doing it poorly.
Did they lose one of the gorges?
That Hawaii story is encouraging. If businesses are pushing back on this because the customers don’t play along, the government mandates won’t have any teeth.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), who is spearheading the effort, said rich space dilettantes should have to pay taxes for those flights, and noted special concern about the environmental impact of sending people into space on trips with no “scientific value.”
“Space exploration isn’t a tax-free holiday for the wealthy. Just as normal Americans pay taxes when they buy airline tickets, billionaires who fly into space to produce nothing of scientific value should do the same, and then some,” Blumenauer said. …
“I’m not opposed to this type of space innovation,” Blumenauer said. “However, things that are done purely for tourism or entertainment, and that don’t have a scientific purpose, should in turn support the public good.”
Or you could cut taxes and spending across the board because it would be more conducive to freedom. ///StopLaughing
What is it with the leftist obsession with this? Sure, it’s an easy way to fan the poors’ resentment against conspicuous consumption. But I think we all know their real fear is the ultra-rich escaping to a moon or mars colony, which might give the proles ideas.
Sounds like this guy would also ban any scenic, excursion flights like hawaii volcano tours, etc.
He doesn’t want to ban anything. He wants to tax it.
He’s like those anti-smoking government dipshits. They don’t want cigarettes gone. They just want a larger cut from the sale of them.

This is true.
fan the poors’ resentment
It ain’t the poors that have their knickers sucked up their asses. Never, ever accept that lie – this is about the next-most-well-to-do being upset that such conspicuous consumption is not available to them. It is the absolute worst case of envy you can imagine. That’s why the venal obsession.

As with the post office and DMV, conservative freakouts about oppressive TSA agents often boil down to it being one of the only situations wealthy white Americans will find themselves in where a minority worker is not required to be obsequiously polite to them.
And look, a lot of airport security really is useless security theater, but it’s a minor nuisance most of us don’t really get offended by. (Also by the way, you can opt out of a lot of the most annoying parts by getting pre-check which I think is like $100 for 5 years?)
But the thing that rankles reactionaries is that the situation requires passengers to (very temporarily) submit to the orders of TSA agents – placing them higher in the hierarchy – even though conservatives see the agents as their social inferiors due to race, education, pay etc

Any of you don’t like the TSA it is because you are racists.
Who would have ever thought otherwise?
What if I see them as social inferiors because they work for the government?
I was at SeaTac airport years ago, trying to get home from a project Id been on for a couple of weeks. It was around 6 am, and TSA closed 1 checkpoint for some reason or another and herded everyone into another. I was tired, hungover as hell. TSA was only letting people through individually, so some asshole would stand directly in front of you until you were cleared to go in. I made eye contact with the guy (prolly a stare) and he got rankled and started mumbling “do you have a problem with this? With me? Are you thinking of starting something?” I just rolled my eyes and kept staring him down. I figured either he knew fundamentally how useless he was and was trying to make-up for it by being mouthy, or he was Travis Bickle truly hoping some shit would start and he could be a hero.
And to think these idiots had the union pester the gov’t to let them be armed.
I don’t care if it’s Joe Biden sniffing my shoes for explosives. TSA is useless security theater that puts a burden on all travelers.
That’s the problem. You put up with the minor nuisances, or overlook them because your sad white guilt prevents you from confronting a minority, and the minor nuisances then feel empowered to become major nuisances.
Tucker Max was right – You get what you put up with.
They are my inferiors because of what they choose to do for a living.

What are the odds Biden, Yellin & Co are sitting around trying to devise an “excess profits tax” to capture their fair and equitable share of the proceeds of the real estate bubble?
I have been asking myself that.
It will have to be retroactive. Looks like we’re sitting on a very large bubble at the moment.
Housing is a human right. No one should profit from it. You should sell your house for as much as you bought it and no more.
Im sure many members of Congress and/or their families would fall under that.
Is there going to be an exception written in ?
“Windfall tax” sounds better.
And I’d wager it’s coming soon. And not just for real estate. For any corporation that makes over a certain margin.
In a perfect society only the powerful are allowed the trappings of wealth!

I dunno–sketchy real estate deals have long been a favorite way for politicians to enrich themselves. If there is any such tax, there will be enough exemptions for the grift to continue.

From the list of breweries, not sure why Boston Brewing is on the list. I didn’t know Jim Koch or Sam Calagione had transitioned, New Belgium, Two Roads, and Allagash also cause me to raise my eyebrows. Considering there’s only 10 participating breweries, I’m already questioning the dedication.
Additionally, no mention in the blurb about either the Pink Boots Society (group of brewers that sponsor education and internships for women to get involved in brewing) nor the loss of the (I believe) first woman ran brewery in the US since prohibition (Stoudt’s).

Where’s all the vids of women joking about the messed up shit they do? Why so many women prefer to be painted as helpless little waifs, being hassled by men who really just want to get with them, I’ll never know. I’ve had women try to ruin my life out jealousy of just sheer spite. It never even occurred to me to roll over and snivel about it. I fought. And then, to pretend that the entire gender is to blame? Because they made some stupid jokes? Fuck no.
Dog knows the women never joke about gold digging, sabotaging condoms, falsely identifying fathers, sleeping with best friends for revenge, falsely accusing men of rape, falsely prompting men to fight over them and scamming the child custody system. And they never actually do any of those things, right?

The police are not your friend.
A Warren woman who called the police to remove a man from her home was cited for failing to tell officers she had a gun in her purse.
Police say they seized the conceal carry permit and handgun from Ashley Heiskell after she had called officers to remove a man who was at her Commerce Street townhouse early Tuesday.
Officers arrested the man after confirming Heiskell’s claim that he is wanted on a warrant out of Cuyahoga County.
One of the officers also asked dispatchers about the 33-year-old woman and discovered Heiskell had a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
When the officer asked her about the permit, she showed him a 9mm handgun she carried in her purse.
Asked why she didn’t tell officers that she had the gun as required under Ohio law and taught in CCW classes, Heiskell said she didn’t know she had to do that and didn’t remember much about the classes, according to the police report.
Police issued a summons for Heiskell to appear in Warren Municipal Court to answer a charge of failure to notify. The officer also took Heiskell’s gun and the permit.
That’s fucked up.
In her own home? Do better Ohio.
In your home is specifically listed as an exception to that law.
https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-2923.12
The law itself only applies if you are stopped for law enforcement purposes, not for every or any interaction with them.
OFFS!
You don’t need a CCW to keep a gun in a purse in your home.
I hope she gets a big fat settlement out of it, and moves.
Is the notification needed if she’s on her own property? Does she need to notify the cops about the pistol in the nightstand? Defund the police.
“When the officer asked her about the permit, she showed him a 9mm handgun she carried in her purse.”
1st mistake. Im sure she was under duress and thought they were her pals at the time.
Dont. Talk. To cops.
Great. Her assailant will be back with bells on.
Ignorance of the law only works if you’re a cop.
I would guess that the conditions of the permit require her to inform the police during any interactions. If the law doesn’t make an exception in her own home, then it’s a fucked up law. The lowlife cops obviously entrapped her. I’d like to see the whole of the interaction to know if they steered her in any way. Cops are always and only interested in busting you, even if you’re the victim. They ask certain questions and scan the room for anything they can use to build a case. Most people don’t have the level of paranoia needed to avoid their chicanery.
Appears it is the current law…
https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2021/03/10/bill-removing-duty-to-tell-cops-about-concealed-weapons-advances/
See link to OH law above. Not every interaction, only if stopped. And in home is excepted.
Ha! The cops fucked up or intentionally screwed her then.
Cha-ching!
This is what’s so infuriating about cops. If I fucked up a vehicle at work (which I don’t) I’d forget all about it by the time I left for home. If the cops fuck up, they double down and try with all their might to justify it and somebody ends up with fines, a record or even in jail. They treat it like pizza hut treats an overcooked pizza. This lady is now on the FBI list for having a weapons violation and no means of fixing it will undo that. When she goes through security, they will know and she’ll get rousted extra because of it. When she get’s pulled over, they are going to fine tooth her and her car and treat it like a felony stop, because their computer says, ” arrested for gun charge.” So fucked up. I know because it’s happened to me.
Sounds like just another case of “I don’t need to read the actual law, I know what the law is.”
Prior to Ohio’s CCW law, carrying a concealed weapon was illegal, but being on your own property was an “affirmative defense” to the charge (you could still be charged and brought to trial, but you had a decent chance of beating the charge). One of the complaints about the law when it was passed was that the “on your own property” defense was removed, so now carrying a concealed weapon anywhere (even in your own home) requires a permit.
And the law does require that, if you are carrying, and you come into interaction with the po-po, you are required to inform them that you have a license and are carrying. Although if she didn’t actually have the purse on her person, it seems like a stretch to say she was “carrrying.” The article doesn’t specify. The article does say OH Legislature is working on dropping the requirement, so that’s nice.
And WTF is wrong with the cops that they didn’t just ask her and when she answers truthfully, let it go. She must have been explaining why she called them and what was going on. The whole time, behind the cop’s beady eyes, he’s thinking, ” I know she has a CCW, and if I can get her to admit it, I can charge her too. Whoo-Hoo!” Fucking lowlife.
Ah, they put the affirmative defense back in. The requirement to inform is in (A)(1), and Section D lists the affirmative defenses to the charge, and (D)(3) is “in [your] home.” So she can still be charged, but, again, she should be able to beat it.
As for (A)(1) “stopped for law enforcement purposes”, should that be read to mean she wasn’t required to inform because she called them? Maybe. When I took the class, the instructor was pretty clear, any time you come into talking contact with a cop, you tell them if you’re carrying.
She wasn’t stopped at all. The whole thing is bullshit. The DA should dismiss the charges, tell the cops to write her an apology, and return her gun and permit.
Of course, she will be dragged through court and forced into a plea deal, instead.
And yes, I agree the cop could certainly have exercised a little discretion, and given the “totality of circumstances” let the lady off. The way the law is written is pretty perverse in the first place.
Heh. I was set upon by a Jehovah’s Witness while filling the truck yesterday. There was no escape because I prepaid and the gas had to go into the tank.

Finally get done and hop in the Tacoma and he shrieks at me about “unbelievers”. Probably just a random loon because most of the JW’s I’ve ever met were pushy but basically polite.

“You kicked off your questioning of Dr. Fauci, emphasizing federal law makes lying to Congress a felony punishable by up to five years in prison,” Hannity said. “Is it your belief based on the evidence, Senator, that he lied before Congress and broke the law?”
“Yes, and I will be sending a letter to the Department of Justice asking for a criminal referral because he has lied to Congress,” Paul replied. “We have scientists that were lined up by the dozens to say that the research he was funding was gain-of-function. He’s doing this because he has a self-interest to cover his tracks and to cover his connection to Wuhan lab. Now, does he deserve all the blame? No, there’s still some conjecture as to whether or not it came from the lab. But he’s lying about whether or not he funded gain-of-function research, and yes, he should be punished.”
They will if Fauci ever becomes inconvenient to them. Then he’ll be unpersoned by the Stalinists.
Yep. The groundwork is established.
And Fauci knows it.

You’ll know Fauci is covering his tracks once the NIH and CDC suddenly claim lots of documentation was “lost”. They were working with SARS-CoV for years. ModeRNA, Pfizer, and a couple others were given exclusive access . That’s how “testing kits” and “vaccines” were developed so quickly.
Francis Collins is also up to his ears in this.

From what I have seen, the DoD sent far more money to Wuhan than the NIH did.
Yes, the big brains in the Pentagon were funding a Chinese bioweapons program. Because there is no way on this planet that gain of function research in China isn’t dual-use.
That’s interesting in a WTF kind of way.
The NYPost article I found notes that there is no ability to trace where the DoD money to EcoHealth went, so it may have gone to Wuhan, or it may not have. Don’t you just love how taxpayer money gets spent!
That said, I have yet to see any DoD expenditure that doesn’t get some kind of delivery back to the govt, even if just some shitty paper.
The NYPost article I found notes that there is no ability to trace where the DoD money to EcoHealth went, so it may have gone to Wuhan, or it may not have.
I’d have to dig it up, but I’m pretty sure the DoD money was for gain of function research. Just how much of that was EcoHealth funding, anyway? Was EcoHealth funding it anywhere except Wuhan? Did the DoD not get a damn thing for its money, in the form of reports and study results?
I would say it went to Wuhan until proven otherwise. I suspect the best case scenario is that EcoHealth just stole it.
I see we are toning down the rhetoric.
“To me, when you look at this investigation from a national security perspective, I look at Jim Jordan, and I think about the 9/11 commission. Now, would you appoint one of Osama Bin Laden’s lieutenants or deputies really to serve on the 9/11 commission? Would you have done that to get to a fact-finding mission? Because that’s how I view this. Because appointing Jim Jordan and letting him serve on this committee is basically obscuring, is doing a coverup, and it open secures the facts, and it prevents us from getting to the bottom of this. It gives him a platform to pull his usual shenanigans where he will attack officials. He will attack law enforcement. He has done it already on January 6 hearings.”

Reforming the macroprudential regulatory architecture in the US
Kathryn Judge, Anil Kashyap 21 July 2021
That a shock the size of the Covid-19 pandemic would trigger distress in financial markets is far from surprising. What is surprising is how much of the distress arose in domains that could have been identified posing a potential threat to stability well before the pandemic hit. This column explores how the US financial regulatory regime is falling short and proposes reforms to increase the likelihood that policymakers will identify and address threats to stability – before they harm the real economy.

Caution in abundance
Precautions against COVID-19 on the Capitol Hill became as contentious as the rest of the country. The House required lawmakers to wear masks while on the House floor, which some members bristled at. Both the House and Senate staggered voting to have fewer people in each chamber at one time. The House still allows remote voting, relayed through colleagues.
The House dropped the mask requirement in mid-June, as more members and staffers became vaccinated. The Senate never required masks, but some members and staffers wear them.
Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said Tuesday he would like to reinstate the mask requirement. He says that view is shared by others with unvaccinated children.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said he would work with Monahan about guidance on masks and the Delta variant.
“We’re going to listen to science, plain and simple,” Schumer said.
Why start now?
The delta variant is more transmissible but so what, the symptoms seem to be milder. If you harbor a contagion but the symptoms aren’t really that bad who cares? They’re champing at the bit to dive right back into all the lockdown stuff again, that much is obvious and if we do we are truly screwed if we aren’t already.
Delta variant is yesterday’s news. We’re up to the Lambda variant now.
I remember seeing that a fee weeks ago. There’s always the next next scary Greek letter right around the bend.
I heard that the Tri-Lambda variant is turning the frogs gay.
LAMAR LATRELL???
Incredibly, their panic and/or totalitarian impulses are leading them to damage the economy while they are in power.
I thought you only did that when the other wing of TEAM BE RULED was in power.
No. Their policies are very damaging by themselves. They used to have some restraint because they needed votes to get power. They no longer need votes or fear bad publicity. This is what they have always been working towards. We can only hope they are jumping the gun and overestimating the leeway they have. All the damage they are doing might be enough to overcome the TMITE lies and get them tossed out, maybe. Literally, the whole system is lying on their behalf. Not easy to show the damage, so it had better be pretty undeniable.
They think they can win elections without winning the votes. They might be right. It’s too late to do anything but step on the gas. I welcome armageddon.
Well, they can lie about inflation all they want. There’s no hiding it.
Giving the Devil his due: how Old Nick spawned a thousand conspiracy theories
https://capx.co/giving-the-devil-his-due-how-old-nick-spawned-a-thousand-conspiracy-theories/
However, the Devil was not part of classical paganism (educated Roman pagans, when they first encountered the Zoroastrian and Jewish versions, found him both baffling and actively unpleasant), and he never made his way into Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto, or Confucianism. This has consequences, especially when it comes to the history of anti-Semitism and misogyny. All civilisations of which we have record have in-groups and out-groups, as well as concepts of witches, witchcraft, and magic. Only Christian and Muslim civilisations have produced demented, religiously motivated slaughter of Jews or women on a large scale.
“Until the later Middle Ages the peoples of Christian Europe had a set of beliefs about witches and witchcraft that were not much different from those found elsewhere, but at that point something novel was introduced. This novel element was the combining of traditional folkloric beliefs with the idea of the Devil, making witches willing collaborators with, and servants of, the Devil”.
Yeah, the Chinese and Japanese seemed to slaughter without regard to religion or gender (I’m sure I could I could find exceptions there) but slaughter they did and quite well too.
The Shoguns/Daimyos weren’t very happy when Christian missionaries started showing up.
This makes me think of the 80’s satanic panic. The thing that always amused me was that in order for someone to make supposedly Satanic music, the artist in question was accepting the ‘God-Devil’ paradigm.
I thought religious slaughter/sacrifice of out-groups, in order to keep the universe working, was pretty essential to Aztec society. Does that not count?
Yeah, but those weren’t Jews, so its not convenient to the Narrative.
India has had fits of Muslim purges now and again. I am sure that if there was another religious minority they would have faced the wrath of the Hindus as well.
You’re not getting it. Only slaughters that can be used to smear Christians (or, weirdly, Muslims) count.
I predict this gets no traction. It attacks Muslims, and it makes it sounds like slaughtering Jews is a bad thing. Neither of those is good Narrative.
The dissenting voices are starting to show up in the larger outlets now.

Psssst, data doesn’t matter because it’s not about health.
When has the NEA cared about the children?
From what I have seen, there are journal editors who will accept any claim.
Hell, I think it has significant implications for whether healthy children need one dose.
Interestingly enough, they’ve recently shown that the Moderna vaccine is effective and one quarter the dosage.
So they’ve been introducing risk by overdosing the patients and limiting the application of the vaccine across the population because of the same.
“at” one quarter the dosage
Overdosing would explain the bad reactions.
But it’s safe! And they know all they need to know about the vaccines! And why are you hesitant? And that long term study isn’t necessary! And trust us!
Eh dissenting is low status no one will listen to them
I’ve been hearing that the Darkhorse podcast is a great resource on understanding the vaccine. Is this it below, or is there a more recent one?
https://player.fm/series/bret-weinstein-darkhorse-podcast/how-to-save-the-world-in-three-easy-steps
There are a number of good episodes. I use the Apple podcast service to listen. He’s also on Odysee.

You know he’s making an impact because they’re starting to come after him now, but he’s not giving ground. In fact, he’s tearing them all new assholes WITH FACTS AND LOGIC.
He’s good but he’ll eventually make an honest mistake by citing a bad study or something and he’ll be disappeared, at least from the more mainstream platforms. The same goes for anybody who gains traction. All they need is a pretense and they don’t really need even that.
True, but the longer he’s on, the more people are exposed to it. It’s one thing to remove a single person from circulation. It’s wholly another to undo the impact they had on those who listened.
Anybody who understands the issues involved around the vaccines now and objects to them is not going to change their mind.
Thanks Scruffy.
Urgency
Joe Biden’s presidency is only six months old, but the mood inside the White House can often feel like a race against time.
“The clock is running. We all know that,” a senior adviser to Biden said, speaking on condition of anonymity. “The President certainly knows that.”
Biden has three-and-a-half years remaining in his term, but his senior advisers speak frequently about the sense of urgency facing his presidency, with the next year almost certain to be dominated by midterm elections that could take away the Democratic majorities in Congress he needs to pass his agenda.
In West Wing meetings lately, White House chief of staff Ron Klain has impressed upon aides the critical importance of the next few weeks.
Recognizing the stakes, Biden and his team are sharpening their strategy to confront an epic set of challenges that some of his allies fear could impart lasting political damage: Covid cases are spiking, inflation is up, border crossings are rising, the Taliban are taking over Afghanistan and a much-touted bipartisan infrastructure agreement is teetering on the brink.
——-
“He identified, when he took office, four big priorities or crises of his presidency: health, the pandemic, climate … and addressing racial injustice,” press secretary Jen Psaki said on Tuesday. “Those are crises and those are challenges he will continue to spend his time working toward and making progress on.”
——-
Biden’s role in the days and weeks ahead will be to sell the public on his most popular proposals, according to officials. He has voiced repeatedly a desire to avoid what he saw as a mistake during his tenure as vice president, when he said his advice to then-President Barack Obama to better explain his agenda went unheard.
Internally, there is a recognition that individual pieces of Biden’s plans — from child and home care to education and paid leave — poll well in isolation. Highlighting those pieces, instead of a broad focus on the entirety of what would be a transformative agenda, will be a focal point.
It’s an open question whether the President will deliver on his quest to reach a bipartisan agreement on infrastructure or police reform, but the White House is intent on showing the country that he is trying. The White House selected Ohio as the site of a Wednesday town hall meeting on CNN, following in the line of several recent Biden trips to areas that are more red than blue.
Bill Stearns, a Cincinnati lawyer, said the opening months of the Biden administration have exceeded his expectations, given the myriad challenges facing the White House.
“It’s such a relief to be able to wake up in the morning, know that the nation is in safe hands,” Stearns said in an interview this week, reflecting on the last six months. “I think it’s even better than I thought, doing what he’s attempting to do with the economy and trying to get out of the pandemic.”
Storming the beaches of Normandy was a cakewalk, compared to what Honest Joe and his crack troops have achieved. Pulled us back from the brink of disaster, they have. If only those evil Republikkkinz would stop holding him back.
No spending bill. No. Just no. No is all we have left. Say no to Joe.
Say no to Joe.
Shoulda been a campaign slogan.
but his senior advisers speak frequently about the sense of urgency facing his presidency, with the next year almost certain to be dominated by midterm elections that could take away the Democratic majorities in Congress he needs to pass his agenda.
But he and his agenda are totally popular.
It’s such a relief to be able to wake up in the morning, know that the nation is in safe hands
Of course, everything is going to shit, but at least there are no mean Drumpfler tweets.

Men cause more climate emissions than women, study finds

Now do a study that accounts for tampons and their impact…
And while prices are rising, causing anxiety over inflation, administration officials have firmly rejected the idea that price increases are here to stay or represent a broader threat to the economy.
Still, there was a recognition, officials said, that a one-off pushback against inflation attacks wasn’t having a substantial effect. The issue had also started to elevate in polling, both publicly and in internal polls, according to officials, something that carried risks to Biden’s sweeping legislative proposals.
That was the driving force behind the White House decision to proactively address inflation concerns in scheduled economic remarks this week — remarks that sought to flip the attack on its head by citing the design of Biden’s spending proposals as a long-term balm to price instability.
“If your primary concern right now is inflation, you should be even more enthusiastic about this plan,” Biden said in the remarks.
Ow, my head.
“If your primary concern right now is inflation, you should be even more enthusiastic about this plan,” Biden said in the remarks.
Inflation is solved by limitless printing and spending like headaches are solved by chugging ice-cold water.
*beats head on desk*
That actually hurt my brain.
I think they’re trying to find out who has swallowed the Kool Aid and who are the wrongthinkers by floating blatant, obvious lies like this and seeing who is willing to toe the lion.
Say no to Joe.
Fuck you, cut spending.
I’m out. Off to eat the same damn thing for the third night in a row. Have a goody, Glibbies!
sneak into you neighbors home and see if they have something better in the fridge
Why stop at that? If his woman is decent looking bust one into her too!..
Just got a letter addressed to a name I didn’t recognize at our office. Turned out to be for “the family and friends” of this person, obviously recently deceased. Letter writer is some sort of real estate pro offering to buy any “real estate involved.”
Is it just me, or does this letter writer seem like a ghoul?
Ghouling ain’t easy.
But contrary to what Eazy (motherfuckin’ E) told us, pimpin’ IS easy. Cause bitches aint shit but hoes and tricks.
Back when I was a pimp, I had a midget in my stable. She was real popular, but I had to cut her loose.
End of the night she was always coming up….SHORT
Pimp dad joke – a new genra.
Just like the ambulance chaser chases the ambulance to be first in line to “help” the injured, this guy is just lining up to be first in line to “help” the survivors… Hot market and all that…
/Ghoulio..
There’s a whole subset of the real estate and law business built around the about to be or recently deceased.
When my uncle died, all kinds of lawyers came out of the woodwork, trying to track down his heirs.
Yes, it’s ghoulish. But, in a bizarre way, it’s sort of a service, at least if he’s not a total douche (which, let’s face it, he probably is). The good thing about liquid assets is that they can readily be divvied up. X for you. Y for you. Z for you. The longer an estate sits in illiquid form, the longer there is for family egos, dysfunction, and even attachment to the deceased to come into play. Who promised what to whom? Why can’t we sell the house to little Johnny and keep it in the family? What is the jewelry Susie got worth compared to the furniture Charlie got? Someone willing to liquidate the estate, if they’re not cheats (again, not saying that’s the case here) is probably solving more problems than they’re creating.

We know what’s best for you, and if you’re smart, you’ll take our advice
The most iconic line from The Godfather is, “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.” Don Corleone wasn’t horsing around. The Hollywood producer to whom this ‘offer’ was made was threatened with terrible consequences if he refused to accept it. The Don’s ‘offer’ was not refused.
This famous line came to mind as I heard Washington Post columnist – and CNN regular – Dr. Leana Wen (she boasts an M.D.) insist that the government needs “to make vaccination the easy choice.” Such innocent words! Indeed, they sound downright sweet. Who doesn’t like ‘easy?’ But there’s nothing sweet or even innocent in Dr. Wen’s words. They signal authoritarianism.
By “make vaccination the easy choice” Wen means – as she admits – that “it needs to be hard for people to remain unvaccinated.” She wants government to subject unvaccinated individuals to invasions of their private affairs so restrictive and obstructive that these persons will soon conclude that the “easy choice” is to get vaccinated.
——-
Also in a free society, part of each individual’s baseline is the freedom to go about the ordinary affairs of life – to go to work, school, church, restaurants, hotels, museums, theaters, stadiums, beaches, the homes of family and friends. There is a powerful presumption against using force to unilaterally alter this baseline. Yet Wen blithely proposes that government fundamentally and unilaterally worsen the baseline from which individuals engage with the state. It seems that in Wen’s view, rights – and the freedoms they enable – are not properties that individuals naturally possess. For her, apparently, these are privileges owned by the state to be leased to individuals at the discretion of the state and on terms that it dictates.
What’s the point of having all this power if you aren’t willing to use it to force the Morlocks to do as you say?
Ah, the scumbag with the weird gums and the absolutely fucking bizarre vocal inflection. I wish she’d go play in traffic.
You can see how that “easy” choice is being implemented in France, where if you can’t show proof of vaccination, and basically do anything that you need to stay alive, such as going into a grocery store – you get 6 months in jail, and the owner gets a year in jail.
it needs to be hard for people to remain unvaccinated.
We need a way to make it hard for tyrannical cuntes to be tyrannical and cuntey.
I agree. There is no point to having power over other people if you aren’t willing and able to RULE OVER THEM.
That’s rich coming from a “my body, my choice” proponent.
Doublethink goes so nicely with double standards.
I think Wen is reflecting what is very much the majority view these days.
Its pretty clear we are no longer a free society, and trending worse.
the majority view
Which majority – of the elite? Or of the public?
Both. The public has mostly been educated government schools, after all.
You see it all the time in the way people talk about the Bill of Rights, as if it grants rights, rather than prohibits the government from violating them.

China Blasts Dam To Divert Massive Flooding That Has Killed At Least 25
China’s military has blasted a dam to release floodwaters threatening one of its most heavily populated provinces, as the death toll in widespread flooding rose to at least 25.
The dam operation was carried out late Tuesday night in the city of Luoyang, just as severe flooding overwhelmed the Henan provincial capital of Zhengzhou, trapping residents in the subway system and stranding them at schools, apartments and offices.
That’s it. That’s the ticket.
Talk about a nightmare. Trapped in a subway by rising flood waters? Jeebus.
When I read “China Blasts Dam” I keep thinking China said something bad about the dam on Twitter.

Question for anyone with legal training re: vaccine passports:
My wife and I are going to a play this week, for the first time since March 2020. Problem is, the people putting on the play said they were following local authorities in putting a vaccine passport in place for the play. That is, they are requiring, as a condition of entry to the play, showing either a proof of vaccine card, or wearing a mask throughout the play.
I looked the legality of this policy, and it appears to run afoul of the Texas governer’s EO-GA-35:
https://gov.texas.gov/uploads/files/press/EO-GA-35_private_health_information_protection_vaccines.pdf
The relevant sections on page 2, in sections 2 and 3, appear to prohibit any vaccine passport “as a condition of receiving any service or entering any place”, and doubles down on this, saying if they have received any money from any government agency in Texas, they also can’t do this.
I’m thinking, when they demand the vaccine passport, that I take out my phone, start recording, and ask them to repeat the demand for the record. If they don’t back down, I next cite the EO, and offer to read the relevant passages. If they still don’t back down, politely ask them (still recording) if they consulted a lawyer prior to setting up this policy. If they still haven’t backed down, ask for their full legal name, so I can get that correct in the lawsuit I’ll be filing with them as a named defendant.
Is this a good approach, or should I use a softer method?
