“Campaign Trail” is an interesting phrase. But I guess a Dem president in the room with a bunch of journalists at a closed event counts as the campaign trail. He is sitting with his surrogates, after all.
This dumbass needs to just shut up. Was what she did necessary? Perhaps for a working dog. But to go out of her way to publicize what happened says to me she’s not ready for the big stage.
Not the best way to go. I’ve seen some big stuff hauled, but never anything that size. And I’ve never seen anything near that big without escorts front and back that prevented anybody from driving beside the load.
They need to pump those numbers up. Because they’re trespassers, not protesters.
Maybe she was on vacation. Lord knows she takes plenty of them.
This is, all things considered, probably a good thing. It’s a whole lot better than needles and human shit everywhere.
Hey, whatever it takes. Not that it seems to matter. The GOP-controlled legislature inexplicably caved last special session anyway.
I’m pretty sure I’ve never played this. Because I rarely play these guys at all. Maybe I should play them more. I’ll find out in the comments if you enjoyed either.
Now go have a great day, dear friends!
I like “Nerd Prom” which I’ve seen elsewhere. It fits the motif that the Imperial District is Junior High Student Council writ large and with too much power.
Morning, Sloopy! Morning, all!
Curious how the Enquirer is election interference but the “Nerd Prom” is just good ole’ fun, even down to the Trump impersonator. I have no problem with either, just interesting how people can say one is and the other isn’t.
We seem to have passed the point of rank hypocrisy being a problem around 2016 or so, unfortunately.
WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS!!! /each team
I am actually laughing that NY is legitimizing the Enquirer as some trusted news source in which millions of peoples’ votes were swayed. I mean, is there a juror on that panel that isn’t thinking “This fucking rag is what this is about? GTFOH!”
It’s Manhattan, so no.
Scandal-plagued Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was nowhere to be seen Sunday during the first Democrat Party debate as she tries to win re-election.
Perhaps she got with her team and figured that just brazening it out would be the best strategy. It’s worked before.
When the system is rigged to only go after and hurt your political enemies, you never feel any compunction to back down no matter how obvious it is that what you are doing is criminal. I used to think the team blue people that adopted Bill Ayer’s “Rules for Radicals” one that said you make it impossible for any system to work for your enemies so you can completely cut them off were simply idiots that justified their evil because their end goal -as they saw it – was noble and good. Now I am certain they are just evil and it is always about power. getting it. Keeping it. Expanding it. And using it against your enemies. Pure evil.
I suspect she didn’t want to bother with a forum where she couldn’t trot out the race card (given her challenger) and didn’t think the sexism card would suffice.
One would think she’d be easily ousted given the chicanery and incompetence… but hey… Fulton county. Who knows.
The governor needs to drop the GBI on her toot-sweet. She is on record as having broken so many campaign finance laws that see needs a come to Jesus meeting with actual law enforcement, not her DA’s office flunkies.
How they hanging Glibronis?
I’m perfectly fine with her not doing so — better she be weeded out before anyone thinks she’s a viable candidate in a future cycle. I mean — remember when Sarah Palin seemed sane and feasible? (I suspect Animal has some interesting stories on that front…)
And on the story itself – I’m in the camp of “That was still a puppy relatively, yes it was excited — no, it probably wasn’t going to be a hunting dog and you damned well shouldn’t let it out around chickens — but I suspect it still could have been trained and could have found a decent family with a big enough yard and no livestock to take it in. Sometimes you do what you need to do, I’ll admit (though I doubt I could do it just because a dog wasn’t filling a role I wanted… it would have to be actually vicious for me to go there) — but I don’t think she needed to do it. And yes, it certainly isn’t the sort of thing I’d want to talk about.
“I’m perfectly fine with her not doing so — better she be weeded out before anyone thinks she’s a viable candidate in a future cycle. I mean — remember when Sarah Palin seemed sane and feasible? (I suspect Animal has some interesting stories on that front…)
This is why I support free speech 100%. When speech has consequences evil people tend to get good at hiding what they mean/want/will do. I say let them talk so they can tell you what ever fucking evil they are all about. And believe them when they tell you they mean evil to do evil, because they do.

Oh, how I loathe the phrase “clap back at”. Let us count the ways.

The 54,000-student school district has faced major growing pains in recent years. The district has added almost 20,000 students in the last 20 years and now enrolls a majority of students considered economically disadvantaged, compared to just 10 percent in 2003, according to Sander.
There goes the neighborhood.
Great excuse…
The reason the kids are lurning nothing is them filthy poors!
And the article attempted to pinpoint why they were in a worse state economically since 2003 right? RIGHT?!
That’s where we lived before we moved out to Montgomery County. If Katrina clogged the toilet north of beltway 8 then Harvey took a giant dump in Houston and a lot of shit floated north to Spring (Klein).
It’s not about poor people, it’s about mostly transient people being renters and not having any sense of ownership where they live. In the 3-4 years we were there, it completely transformed from a fairly decent place to a place we absolutely did not want to live in for another minute.
Well the drag queens and the freaks are certainly out on the town…

Are all of the roads in Texas straight? Looking at the length of the trailer assembly, how could the truck possibly turn? Was it just moving the load a short way down the road to another facility?
That is some Final Destination vibes right there!
Yahhh if I saw that thing I’d steer far, far away.
They are not in “The People’s Republic of Connecticut” and I have seen them move some real freaking YUGE loads there. I was not concerned with the lenghts as much as I was with the highs and the need to clear overpasses.
What I don’t get are the people that seem to take their sweet time driving around shit like that. 1mph passing speeds is not a bright idea next to a load that large. Get around it and get going. It’s not a marvel to be oggled.
Cruise control and looky-loos.
1mph passing speeds is not a bright idea
Pretty much every CMV.
There’s been several “super loads” moving through southern/central Ohio to get equipment to the new Intel plant. They announce the routes weeks ahead of time so that people can avoid getting stuck in that slow moving of traffic. On the other hand, it also is apparently drawing people gathering to watch them go by.
They get an Intelligence Briefing too?
“They need to pump those numbers up. Because they’re trespassers, not protesters.”
Aren’t the usual Soros financed DAs just letting them off without even a slap on the wrist in the usual places already?
The one thing I saw that really freaked these idiots out was that some universities are expelling them and giving them a permanent record, and many employers are saying these people will not be hired. I also heard the ones realizing this is happening are suddenly all up in arms because they thought LARPing this evil Jew hating shit was gonna be consequence free…
The local group is thankfully lame.

Nice proofreading Fox News.
And I thought people got super human strength during an emergency. Why didn’t they just lift the 350,000 pound mystery item off those poor people?
Some of us Glibs overlords were talking about that last night and this morning. It looks like a cracking tower.

But you would think that even the radical leftists that run such places would realize that they can’t fund their delusional fantasy utopia when the coffers run dry.
The beauty of CA’s very progressive income tax – when high incomes drop, as they do in downturns – or when people leave the state, the tax revenues take a disproportionate hit.

We need regional tax authority so the suburbanites are forced to pay their fair share!
Fuck RITA. Back when I was a teen, they were the bane of all taxes, state and local taxes wind up getting refunded as a teen (generally), RITA would force you to pay them whatever amount the city you lived in wanted (after the taxes taken out of your check went to the city where you worked).
Hmmm…. they were okay but just didn’t really click for me for some reason.
I have heard something I like from them — but it was via the Pretty in Pink soundtrack I’m afraid. Different style on that song versus the ones you linked — which may be my problem, admittedly… I’m expecting on some level something similar and not getting it and it is just bugging me.

So far, Biden has been trying to thread a delicate needle to boost his chances of a second term. He uses humor to paint Trump as a buffoon unworthy of the Oval Office, but the president stops short of turning the election into a laughing matter.
He may be right, but he may want to look in a mirror, too. The more I see of ol’ Joe from Scranton, the more I wonder if he’d lose a game of tic-tac-toe to a chicken.
I can probably count on one hand the politicians I think might be worth of sitting in the Oval Office. Neither of them will be on the ballot this fall, but that’s pretty much the norm.
“…when the People shall become so corrupted as to need Despotic Government, being incapable of any other.” /long dead, very white guy
“As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” /dead not quite as long, equally white guy
At this point he might lose to a fried chicken.
Donald is an intellectual giant next to Joe – who is also a nasty piece of work on top of that. If Joe had a different letter next to his name he would never get elected dog catcher.
Speaking of which, was this obvious fact all of us people not with our heads up our asses already suspected or even knew already discussed?
SOP for the media has for a while simply been to ignore stories that would destroy team blue and leave no doubt it is a crime syndicate, even stories that in the past would be career makers, like this one, but it is coming out. Is the agenda to ignore and hope they can Hillary it by claiming “What difference does it now make?”?
Redacted for “national/any other kind of security” reasons these days seems to always mean “shit we prefer the plebes not see because it shows we are evil, corrupt, and stupid”.
Rushin’ collusion is not the same as Russian collusion.
OK, now I am SURE you stole Schiff’s luggage, JI!
It has gotten to the point where Trump is actually quite truthful. Naive, but truthful.
At this point, we could have Joe himself fisting a world leader and the media would still say there is no proof of influence peddling.
Just whistling right past all the other ‘unknown’ ties I see.
Uffda. I can’t believe it. THE U of M fired a black, immigrant lesbian from her job as a Diversity Equity and Inclusion manager.
There has to be more to this story. I can’t believe that all she did was post some pics at a protest against Israel and get canned. She must have been a very annoying person that they were looking for any reason to can her. Her statements after being fired seem to back up my annoying person theory.
I’m torn on this one. Even if she is a complete asshole, I don’t think things you say outside of work should be used to fire people. On the other hand, I’m all for employers being able to shitcan workers for just about any reason they feel like.
Powerline has a much better pick of the gal.
I could use a fishing buddy, she could probably teach me a few things.

Did Mohammed’s wives wear leopard print?
If you could get it in the children’s section at Target, they probably did.
and that is why they fired her: Muslim drinking alcohol.
“I don’t think things you say outside of work should be used to fire people”
She did, I’m quite sure. And I have no problem at all holding people to their own standards.
It also depends on what it is you say outside of work, too.
I think that the problem was that someone in the background of one of her pics had an Israeli flag with a bunch of swastikas on it.
Like I said, it sure seems like the social media posts were the fig leaf they were using to get rid of an obnoxious person.
So you’re saying she posted pics of swastikas on her social media?
In the current era of people posting every moment of their mundane lives online, you have to assume that when you’re in public, in or near any kind of commotion, you’re being recorded. And thanks to Google and Facederp reverse image searches, the mob will figure out who you are, and where you work.
So, if you work someplace that cares about public image at all, you really can’t afford to be stupid in public. It’s happened where I work: staffer got drunk and did something stupid; it was recorded, she was identified, her employer was identified, and the moment she became a PR liability, she was gone, regardless of seniority or work history.
Knowing there are coworkers with different opinions creates a hostile work environment.
“— President Joe Biden is out to win votes by scoring some laughs at the expense of Donald Trump, ”
Is there any one that hasn’t already made up their minds? The election could be today and the winner will be the same as 6 months from now. We still have to put up with the same BS ’til November.
I’m more concerned with the lack of response to the campus shenanigans. If the protesters were really serious they’d cut up their meal cards and stage a hunger strike.
Seems even the Democrats know they can’t ride these protests like they did the BLM ones.
People have seen the racket already, and this time many seem unwilling to just play along out of fear or lack of understanding why the shitshow is going on…
Classes end in a week here. There isn’t much more mileage to squeeze out of this, not without giving the game away that the whole thing is orchestrated and to a noticeable extent staffed by outsiders.
Compare and contrast with BLM riots and J6 protests.
Let’s you know who in this country can protest, how hard, and against whom.

Considering how dumb these kids are when I interact with them, I am totally seeing this skit as accurate.
I still remember wigging out on my son’s high school principal when they decided to implement mandatory community service for graduation. My kid was already doing his own stuff so it wasn’t even about the requirement as much as it was brutally obvious this was another marxist attempt to indoctrinate. They ended up not implementing that idiot policy for a year (right after my kid graduated). I can see these idiot kids thinking this sort of disruptive idiocy is a good thing to get on the resume even though real employers want nothing like that.
Are these people not getting the memos? Enough with the bad vibes!
Wait until they get a chance to add all those new taxes they want to so they can keep spending, including that unrealized gains tax for any entity worth over $400k, they now want. Buh-bye homeownership, 401Ks, and any other wealth holding capabilities you plebes. Get ready for the insects, the pods, and the Soma, you fools…
If I were in the elite, I’d be following the Huxley model of how to build a totalitarian system – all self-persuasion instead of boots on faces. Let the people make themselves comfortable and then they won’t care.
What’s the fun in that? I mean, stomping your boot on the little people’s necks gets your private parts all tingly…
Manipulating them without them knowing you are stomping them, just doesn’t cause the same erotic feeling…

This wildly biased article from the euronews says it’s bad if NGOs would have to register as foreign agents. If it passes, the Soros types wouldn’t be able to take over local media and buy politicians without it being public.
What percentage of our NGOs are CIA and/or State Department fronts I wonder? Anyway, it looks like the rest of the world has caught on to our nonsense and that’s a good thing (even for us).
All of them. Look who’s staffing them. All “former” CIA, State Department, FBI. Very much like the revolving door between the CDC and pharma companies.
I’m hoping other countries are seeing this and not going along with it. Unfortunately the push for censorship outside the US isn’t giving me much hope.
College Is an Education in Bullshit by old retarded friend, Hamilton Nolan. I think he’s turning a new leaf from the headline!
Nevermind!
Nothing else there, lots of run on sentences and no coherent point to be made.
I’m pretty sure that anything you need to apply for fails the “non-rivalrous” part and having locks on campus doors fails “non-excludable.”
“make the ability of people to have a decent life dependent upon buying it”
Where did that come from?
“Take a public good (higher education)”
Is it? Doesn’t that assume that higher education is essentially a commodity, where the quality of it doesn’t vary and the supply can be expanded indefinitely without affecting quality?
Yanno, if Biden had just let Bibi finish the war, the campus protests wouldn’t have happened in the first place.

“Mostly peaceful.” I can’t believe the writer was stupid enough to use that phrase.
Means the same thing as “somewhat violent”.
Trump this week called a 2017 neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville — which he said at the time had “very fine people on both sides,” prompting a bipartisan backlash — a “peanut” compared with the current protests on campuses.
Ah, the lie that never dies.
The more the lie is repeated. /does it sound better in the original German?
You’d think the left would have retired the “mostly peaceful” meme after the BLM riots but no, they have no shame.

The match over the weekend was fantastic for gun-watching.
There was something that would have broken FLW/Ayn Rand’s brains but was actually both beautiful and functional: Someone has taken the design of 2011 Open guns (designed to nullify 9mm +P+ loads) and rechambered them in … .22LR. Unlike actual Open guns, these will (according to their owners) run with a variety of ammo.
Also in my new high water mark for gaming the rules, someone was using a 2″ barreled scandium-framed revolver with an optic, and running .38 short colt loaded below 600ft/s to put up GM times. The (unjacketed) lead bullets didn’t even completely deform on the steel targets.
I’m guessing you could watch those .38 bullets on the way to the target.
The lighting was not correct, and it really helps if the back end of the bullet was shiny, these weren’t.
At the last Handgun Nats I could see about 15% of the bullets in flight and those were all over 1100ft/s. The trick is it needs to be a long enough shot that your eye has time to pick it up and not too much lateral movement relative to you.
Pretty sure this has nothing to do with the London equine hijinx last week:

“The exceedingly rare reaction…”
I bet the lawyers will have somebody better at math than the Daily Mail.
“Glen Sullivan Sr., 54, of Springfield, Louisiana, pleaded guilty on April 17 to four counts of second-degree rape and was sentenced to 50 years in prison by Judge William Dykes….
In 2008, a Louisiana state law was passed that determined that if a man was convicted of certain rape offenses, he may be sentenced to chemical or physical castration.
‘I felt that this case was a strong enough case and warranted such action,’ Assistant District Attorney Brad Cascio told WBRZ.
Physical castration, the surgical removal of testicles, can only be ordered with the defendant’s consent. Cascio said Sullivan’s decision was part of a plea agreement…
It has to be done no later than one week prior to his release, so they could do it immediately or they could wait,’ Cascio added.
This means that Sullivan might not be castrated until a week before the end of his sentence, when he will be more than 100-years-old….
On Tuesday, the state proposed a bill to allow convicted sex offenders who committed a crime against a victim under the age of 13 to be surgically castrated.
The bill, presented by Baton Rouge Democrat Sen. Regina Barrow, would order surgical castration on offenders who committed an aggravated sexual offense, according to WVUE.”

Don’t discount the briefings by the Deep State on what they will do if you don’t cooperate.
Yep – he’ll just get herded around with the carrot and stick.
Doubt it, it was most likely just the right implications of campaign funding along with the fact that he’s just been lying to his constituents the whole time.

Blah blah blah that poor little rambunctious puppy. She’s just a stupid bimbo who can’t possibly know more about the story than ten million sanctimonious opinionated douchebags on the internet. And she obviously should have focus-grouped that story with a bunch of Washington Post subscribers. That’s what any serious politician would have done.
At this point, I’d rather see Noem in the White House than another in an endless line of mirror-polished Ivy League turds. Would she be a “good” President? She couldn’t possibly be any worse than what we’ve had lately.
She strikes me as a female Mike Johnson.
It’s a stupid reason but I’m fine with her being out of contention. She’s cringe and reminds me of Michelle Bachmann, a somewhat physically attractive standard countryclub Republican neocon. She was admittedly good on Covid though and can still win state office or even federal House or Senate no problem.
Noem is the one who wrote it in her book. And how she presented there is what she thought was sufficient or evidence of her great judgement. This isn’t some other party scribing about the puppycide, she brought it up.
And yes she actually could be worse than the current turds.
I would guess she wrote it for two reasons: first, to get in front of what could easily be turned into an attack ad, like Mitt Romney’s dog-on-top-the-car story; and two, to show she has the guts to make the hard call when that is necessary.
I haven’t been following the story closely, so I’m not going to wade into whether what she did could be called necessary.
somewhat physically attractive standard countryclub Republican neocon
who actually knows one end of a shovel from the other and hasn’t spend her entire adult life suckling at the “public service” teat.
Perfect? Fuck no. Show me somebody who is.
She appeals to a lot of people that are registered Republicans, just as Mike Johnson does.
What a shock that they do NOT appeal to a bunch of people that are not registered Republicans.
There’s no such thing as a perfect pol but she just strikes me as disingenuous and for other than Covid she’s not really a civil liberties booster. There’s certainly worse out there but there’s better too.
Covid is a very big litmus test for me. That’s when the rubber hit the road, and we saw what their real tendencies were.

“Biden Looks To Prevent Future President From Ending Ukraine War With 10-Year Agreement”
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/biden-looks-prevent-future-president-ending-ukraine-war-10-year-agreement
All this would do would be to raise the stakes so high that the Russians won’t even countenance a rump Ukraine and we’ll be so all in that the political pressure to get directly involved when the collapse happens will be unreal. I hate these fucking people so much.
Well, if it wins Senate approval, then it will be Trump-proof. If it doesn’t even go before the Senate, say like the climate accord, then all bets are off with the next administration.
They need to remember that Russia also gets a “vote” here and they’re just making things worse for everybody.
Like current immigration law? All it takes is a pen and phone to executive order or just discretionary away what you don’t want to do as long as the Deep State is in agreement. Oh, Deep State is all in on Ukraine…
Breach of etiquette
GW officials said in a statement early Monday that a group of “approximately 200 protesters from across [D.C., Maryland and Virginia], including professional organizers, activists, and university students, have joined the unauthorized encampment on our campus.”
“This is an egregious violation of community trust and goes far beyond the boundaries of free expression and the right to protest,” they added. “The university will use every avenue available to ensure those involved are held accountable for their actions.”
One question on the minds of many is what, if any, disciplinary action student protesters might face from their schools, especially with finals and graduation fast approaching.
Those schools should ask Netanyahu how to deal with Palestinian agitators. A few beanbag rounds and water cannons will show those punks how wrong they are about the Promised Land.
D9 into those Rachel Corries.
Oh the uncertainty bothers you? How ’bout, conviction for committing a crime on campus means mandatory expulsion? That work for you?
Also, no release of transcripts or records until your account balance is zero.
Fuck. Halp, Edit Fairy!
Better?
Nearly 300 faculty members at Yale University, where 48 protesters were arrested last week, signed a letter condemning what they called “the criminalization of Yale students engaged in recent acts of peaceful protest.” They demanded that the university take no further disciplinary action and called on authorities to drop all charges against them.
They said the protesters arrested face Class A misdemeanors under Connecticut law, which carry possible penalties of up to 364 days in jail.
“Threatening students with sanctions of this kind is unconscionable and should not be the means by which Yale responds to peaceful protest,” they added.
They’re just a little rambunctious. We need to speak to them gently and rub their bellies and give then treats. That’s how to train them.
it was for a good cause …
I’m getting tired of any crowd being a “protest”. They aren’t protesting. They’re demonstrating. Demonstrating in support of Hamas, Pali terrorism, and continued aggression.
Thanks, Mojeaux!

Crazy like a fox
“The Wuhan Cover-Up” blares the subject line of a recent presidential campaign email. Inside, it’s all impenetrable conspiracy theory language that reads more like a QAnon post than a normal political fundraiser:
Why wasn’t Dr. Anthony Fauci charged with a crime, when he lied under oath about his relationships with Peter Daszak and Ralph Baric in order to cover-up Wuhan Coronavirus research? Apparently, lying under oath is only a crime when it contradicts established narratives.
Zombie COVID-19 conspiracy theories? False and defamatory accusations? QAnon-style rhetoric designed to overwhelm and bamboozle the reader? These abusive tactics are all the red flags of MAGA communication. To be certain, fundraising emails across the partisan spectrum can be alarmist and hyperbolic, but accusing innocent people of crimes and spreading lies about deadly diseases are lines most candidates don’t cross. The exception, of course, is Donald Trump and his imitators, like Arizona’s Republican candidate for governor Kari Lake. But outside of the MAGA universe, such tactics are frowned upon for two reasons. One, it’s downright evil. Two, it wouldn’t work on voters who are outside of the MAGA bubble, as normal people tend to be turned off by slander and overt disinformation.
But curiously this email did not come from Trump or Lake or any other figures associated with the ethics-free world of MAGA campaigning. It came, readers may not be surprised to learn, from the campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate.
Why would RFK spread such delusional lies? He must be recruiting more feeble minded rubes for his anti-science cult.
You can’t pull the wool over Amanda’s eyes.
Yes, Trump that let Fauci and friends have pretty much free rein and cheerleaded Operation Warp Speed. “I’m not going to take a Trump vaccine”
“it wouldn’t work on voters who are outside of the MAGA bubble, as normal people tend to be turned off by slander and overt disinformation”
LOLOLOL
“A teacher has been arrested for allegedly sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy she met at the Arkansas church once frequented by former President Bill Clinton — bombarding the teen with nude photos even after an earlier investigation, according to a report.
Reagan Gray, 26, was nabbed earlier this month after it emerged she had allegedly been assaulting the boy since 2020 when she was working as a volunteer at the Immanuel Baptist Church in Little Rock, THV11 reported of the institution Clinton praised as being pivotal in preparing him for the White House.
The boy’s parents discovered a slew of text messages on their son’s phone at the time and reported Gray to a senior pastor at the church, according to court papers.”

Pretty sure Bill had nothing to do with this one.
So stupid how they throw those irrelevant connections in.
