A little general round-up

The latest news from Britain sparking interest among my fellow Americans relates to the recent riots and the government’s response after three little girls were stabbed to death in Southport. The aspect that has attracted most attention is the British government’s attempts to curtail the free exchange and dissemination of ideas on social media. I’ve even been asked if the government of Sir Keir Starmer is waging war on free speech. I feel compelled to answer Yes, but add that the war began long before the summer of 2024. Indeed, Britain’s increasingly illiberal and authoritarian political class, along with their minions in the media and academia, highly credentialled and privileged men and women who sacralise the European Union, are unable to define a woman, despise the white working class and feel at home in Islington, Hampstead, Tuscany, Provence or Cape Cod, have been whittling away at the time-honoured rights of free speech, expression and thought for at least 30 years. Starmer’s draconian policies represent a brutal escalation of the war rather than its beginning.


NYeffingCity is getting what it voted for, good and hard.
Across New York, recently arrived migrants are flooding the criminal justice system — at far higher rates than public officials have acknowledged.

Police sources shared with The Post a staggering estimate that as many as 75% of the people they’ve been arresting in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery and domestic violence are migrants. In parts of Queens, the figure is more than 60%, sources there estimate.

On any given day, Big Apple criminal court dockets are packed with asylum seekers who have run afoul of the law.


Ah, the EffingBI, "We're all honest, dedicated professionals here, but we worry about the Do'J'."
Sure, you are.

That's about all I can take for now.

And they just can't understand why the "Stop the illegal aliens' party is gaining

This also points out just how effing stupid "Queers for Palestine" is

"I don't want to ban assault weapons anymore,

until I'm President.  And ATF will work things for me."

Why would I be surprised that both of them are stonewalling on anything and everything that might hurt her election chances and their 'We want to make law without the trouble of going through Congresss' crap?

And from the communist who wants to be Veep,

Reporter: "What's your reaction to the six hostages being found in Gaza?"

Walz: Goodbye
Unsaid: "You want me to say something that might upset all those terrorist-supporter votes in a couple of states?  Nope."

'Why did Zuckerberg choose now to confess?'

Here's some of the possibilities, and some of the consequences of what he's apologizing for.

Found thanks to Joe Huffman

 There is one white man who has enslaved more African Americans than anyone else in history.

His name is Karl Marx.

Let's see, get up stuff, work, dinner, carry limbs and such out for the big trash pickup

next week, and now it's that next evening you all(well, some of you) wait for

So what Harris actually means by "I've changed my mind" is

"I won't ban fracking, I'll just ban drilling whenever and wherever possible."

Sounds like something the bastards would do.

Illegal alien, no drivers license, kills one man

and nearly kills others?  And he gets one friggin' year?

Is the DA being paid by Soros or somebody, or did he think this would get the Correct People to keep him in office?

In another situation, the Gov. of Colorado says the problems he and other idiots are helping along with their Sanctuary City/State crap aren't real.
Because acknowledging the problem would be bad for their public relations and their desire to let in lots of illegals to vote D.

18 minutes for a first interview?

And CNN may not release the whole transcript?  Crap, it must be flat awful, so awful that CNN wants to protect them*.  And reading the bits this post has, I wouldn't doubt it.

They may decide to release the whole thing, we'll see.

*'Them' because, remember, she had to bring her Veep wannabe with her.  Which is... which is better, idiotic or pitiful?

I rarely drink beer, but on occasion one is good,

 like with some meals.  Years back a girlfriend in Texas wanted to go to a pub and listen to the band playing that night, and as we sat I picked out a meal of a platter with soda bread*, sliced sausage, and cheese, and she suggested a Honey Brown to wash it down.

Oh, she was right.  That's been a favorite combination for years.

And now, it appears the distributors for this state aren't bringing it in anymore.  Yes, there's Harp, and Guinness(not my favorite, but not bad), but it's just not the same.  Dammit.



*I will state, without equivocation, that I make better soda bread.

More from (formerly Great)Britain, this on their health services

Which, if you behave yourself as they choose, you might eventually get some treatment from.  
Coming soon to a hospital near you if the socialists have their way of things.
In the name of ‘anti-racism’, the UK’s Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has quietly abandoned its commitment to provide universal healthcare and is encouraging its members to violate a core principle of medical ethics.

On 6 August, the RCN issued new guidelines granting medical professionals permission to refuse to treat patients whom they perceive to be racist. The new guidelines are a response to the violent riots that engulfed parts of England and Northern Ireland earlier this month. These erupted after the Southport knife attack in late July, in which three young girls were killed at a dance workshop. The guidelines specifically legitimise denying a patient care if that patient exhibits ‘discriminatory behaviour, including racism’.
Hm.  'perceive' and 'discriminatory', there's a couple of holes you could sail a battleship through to find a reason to deny someone treatment.

Assuming some of these idiots haven't already been withholding treatment from 'bad' people and done it, people are going to die because of this.  And it being(fG)Britain, their family won't be able to do a damn thing about it, because it fits the aims of the Two-Tier Prime Minister quite well.

Holy crap... Harris finally agrees to an interview, but

 

Seriously.  She has to have her Veep candidate along for her first interview?

Let's add a few more in

Project Veritas strikes again

BREAKING: Doctors tells @Project_Veritas undercover that MILLIONS of excess deaths resulted from the FDA’s pandemic-era "horse medicine" tweets against ivermectin.

Now we have the lawyer who defended the FDA in court ADMITTING on undercover video that the FDA abused its authority!
Basically, there is no federal agency that can be trusted.

However much you hate the media, here and in other countries,

it's not enough.

Today was a range day, a shorter one than I'd planned on

I can handle heat fairly well(still) if I drink enough, but the combination of heat and humidity today got downright awful, so I finished up and hour or so sooner than planned.  I did get some good results from loads tested, so that was accomplished.

And I'm still sitting here soaking up liquid and not wanting to do anything.  The mowing will have to wait until tomorrow.

Kim has an opinion on that mass stabbing in Germany,

largely because of the "We can't figure out the motive" and their idiot idea of a 'fix' for this:
“We must do everything to ensure that such things never happen in our country, if possible,” Scholz said of the attack. He predicted a toughening knife laws in particular “and this should and will happen very quickly.”
and
Green Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck also called for a tightening of knife laws, saying there must be “more weapon ban zones and stricter weapon laws.”

“No one has to carry stabbing or cutting weapons in public spaces in Germany,” said the Green politician. “We no longer live in the Middle Ages.”
And, just like the useless bullshit in Britain, this will mean "I don't care if you use it in your work", or "I don't care if the blade is only 3 centimeters long and you use it for opening packages, you are carrying a knife and you're under arrest!"  And we've seen how well that's worked.

I'll give you part of his response to that 'We no longer live in' idiocy:
You stupid shit. You may not be living in the Middle Ages, but these fucking Islamic assholes certainly are.

Thanks to previous German immigration policies (Mutti Merkel, danke ), you’ve imported the Middle Ages into the 21st century.
And they don't have to balls or brains to speak of the actual problem, so they'll play "Let's get rid of these objects and the problem will go away!"  Nope, because the problem isn't knives, the problem is you don't have the guts to admit that letting a bunch of savages who want all Jews dead and everyone else either converted or enslaved/dead was a bad idea.  Assuming you have the working brain cells to actually recognize that that  "Let's be welcoming and let EVERYONE in!" insanity IS the problem.

so 'Muslim Student Association' means

'Make the troublesome Jews shut up.'
A campus that actually had leadership with integrity and some balls would make short work of this, but there's a decided shortage of both on most of them.  

And that's not counting the leftist deans and professors and teachers who think this crap is a good idea.

Can you imagine finding this?

The Marshfield Find: Extraordinary, Newly Discovered, Documented Mint Winchester Model 1886 Lever Action .45-90 WCF Rifle Time Capsule with Original Shipping Crate Containing Scabbard and Five Boxes of Ammunition, and Factory Letter

I'd look it all over and then probably have to sit down for a while.

All the information here.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the murder of 13 US troops

and God only knows how many Afghans, because our leadership is shit.
"That is the first lesson here; our self-described "best" that claim to be the ruling class are not our best. They are not good at their jobs. Their ideas are garbage. Their ethics are fetid to the core. Their morality sold for a farthing's worth of power, fame, and influence."
Go read it.

Oh, and never forget that most of our Professional Journalists are just as much shit as our 'leadership'.

My, my, this kind of news I can use

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has decided that ATF's Final Rule determining that most pistols with stabilizing braces are short-barreled rifles is arbitrary and capricious.  The case is Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition, Inc. v. Garland ("FRAC"), decided on August 9 and authored by Judge Steven Grasz.
...
ATF provides two of what it calls "Slideshows" of photographs of numerous configurations of braced pistols and found that all would likely be classified as short-barreled rifles, without providing any explanation of why or how its criteria lead to this result. ATF implies that plaintiffs have the burden to prove that the braced pistols are not short-barreled rifles, an impossible task because ATF gives no guidance.  As the court quips, "The ATF's burden-inverting argument makes as much sense as shouldering a rifle by the barrel…."
More goodness at the link.

Looks like the fascists and national socialists are getting pushy

"Telegram abides by EU laws, including the Digital Services Act — its moderation is within industry standards and constantly improving," Telegram said in a statement on the arrest.

"Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov has nothing to hide and travels frequently in Europe," it said. "It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse of that platform."

Durov, who has dual French and United Arab Emirates citizenship, was arrested as part of a preliminary police investigation into allegedly allowing a wide range of crimes due to a lack of moderators on Telegram and a lack of cooperation with police, a third French police source said.
Bold mine.  And anymore that kind of excuse automatically makes me think "So he won't roll over for you?"

This one can go for pissing off Harris, Walz, and Two-Tier and all his minions

 currently ruling (formerly Great)Britain:

And, specifically for the clown ruling (formerly Great)Britain,

In order that I might not fall asleep having forgotten

to post the second evening's stuff, here it is

You get the feeling part of the problem is "We're Feds,

we don't need your local crap." ?
The day before the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, a tactical team of local police officers set aside radios for their Secret Service partners so the two agencies could communicate during the former president’s July 13 campaign rally.

But those radios were never picked up.
I wonder if any of these people consider that the reason so many don't trust ANY of the federal agencies is said agencies threw the trust they formerly had away?

One of these nights

is below the fold

How do you know you're stuck in a dystopian craphole?

You live in (formerly Great)Britain.

Original here.

But wait!  There's MORE!
The left-wing Labour Party government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer enacted emergency measures on Monday to free up prison cells in England as over 1,000 people have been arrested in connection to the outbreak of violence, or for posts on social media, in the UK following the mass stabbing at a children’s dance party in Southport last month allegedly by a second-generation Rwandan migrant teen.
Bold mine.

Two-Tier is really working on that title, isn't he?  Mind you, the 'Conservatives' were damn little better, which is a big reason their sorry asses were thrown out.

Lots of people on the Evil Party side went to big-name colleges,

and Walz has no problem with that.  But Vance is an UnGood Person, so working his ass off and succeeding is a bad thing and Walz says stupid things like this:

The whole thing's here

"Why don't you want to negotiate with these people?"

cry the left...
Bullet wounds were found on the bodies of six hostages recovered by the Israeli military earlier this week. The grim finding confirms the fears that most of them had been murdered by Hamas terrorists during their 10-month-long captivity in Gaza.

And we're helping pay for these corrupt, lying 'journalists'

 

This is a civil rights win with a

 'Holy shit!' cherry on top.

A Kansas US District Court judge has tossed an illegal machine gun possession charge on Second Amendment grounds. The court found that machine guns in question are clearly “bearable arms,” and in this case at least, the government failed to show a historical tradition to justify their ban.

The court finds that the Second Amendment applies to the weapons charged because they are “bearable arms” within the original meaning of the amendment. The court further finds that the government has failed to establish that this nation’s tradition of gun regulation justifies the application of 18 USC § 922(0) to Defendant. 

That’s the portion of the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act that outlaws civilian possession of machine guns.

Two things: first, that portion is the bit that some CAfornicated Rep. put into the bill that said 'Any automatic weapon that wasn't at some point owned by a plain citizen before this date can never be owned by a plain citizen.'
Second, Oh yeah, I'm sure the .gov will appeal.  And I cannot imagine why they, as noted, 'barely tried to meet that burden'; they had to know that if the judge ruled against them it would mean they'd have to appeal, and it would be that much harder, I'd think, to try to prove 'that this nation’s tradition of gun regulation justifies the application of 18 USC § 922(0) to Defendant'.

Just throwing spitballs, maybe the people involved looked at the Bruen and Rahimi rulings and decided "We're screwed on this".  Or maybe they, for some reason, wanted to hurry it to the 10th Circuit Appeals, or... Beats me.

My, how very Stasi of them,

I wonder when people will start conveniently 'accidentally' dying in their cell?

I miss things like this

 

So anything from the USSS cannot be trusted, and

some politicians and their flunkies will be lying bastards no matter what.

On #1,
Higgins goes on to report these shocking facts:

“U.S. Secret Service did not retrieve the radios that had been set aside for them by Butler County tactical command. The radio comms were properly and perfectly arranged during the extensive pre-mission planning.”
“All 8 casings (from shots fired by Crooks) were recovered and are allegedly in proper possession of the FBI.”
“The 9th shot fired on J13 was from a Butler SWAT operator from the ground about 100 yards away from the AGR building. Shot 9 hit Crooks’ rifle stock and fragged his face/neck/right shoulder area from the stock breaking up.”
“The 10th (and, I believe, final) shot was fired from the southern counter-sniper team.”
“My effort to examine Crooks’ body on Monday, August 5, caused quite a stir and revealed a disturbing fact… the FBI released the body for cremation 10 days after J13.”
“The water tower was cleared by drone J13 AM by the County tactical commander, ESU Commander Lenz himself.”
And, let us remember, the current USSS Director was involved in at least some of this, and is now investigating himself.


On the lying politicians and flunkies,
A person at the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Caucus Meeting at the DNC introduced Tim Walz as “Command Sergeant Major.”
So either the clown did not understand, despite all the noise, that Walz didn't earn that rank, or didn't care and lied.

On the subject of 'gun violence', I was sent a link

to this.  Interesting reading.  I've just skimmed over it, will give it a full reading when have more time.  Whenever that is.

Another civil rights victory

After two years of waiting after oral arguments, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling on qualified immunity for a Waterbury, Connecticut police officer, deciding he wasn’t entitled to qualified immunity for violating the constitutionally protected rights of a gun owner.
...
The area is known for drugs and prostitution, so the stopped car drew the attention of Officer Andrzejewski. The law enforcement officer approached the vehicle and demanded Soukaneh’s license. He would hand over his driver’s license and his gun permit. Mr. Soukaneh legally owned and carried a firearm in his car. He did not commit any crime and had a clean criminal record, but that didn’t matter to Andrzejewski.

Upon seeing the permit, Andrzejewski dragged Soukaneh out of the car and slammed him to the ground. The officer handcuffed the man and threw him into the back of his police cruiser. Andrzejewski searched Soukaneh’s car from bumper to bumper, including its trunk. When Andrzejewski didn’t turn up anything, Andrzejewski and seven other officers held Soukaneh in the back of the police cruiser for an additional 30 minutes. During this time, Andrzejewski consulted with another officer about what to write Soukaneh up for, showing they didn’t have a valid reason.
He shouldn't just get 'no qualified immunity', the dumb bastard should be fired.  And prosecuted for the civil rights violation.

The judges also ruled that just because someone has a firearm or a gun permit does not give law enforcement probable cause to conduct a search of someone’s vehicle or arrest someone. Andrzejewski admitted in testimony that the firearms license was the only “probable cause” he had. The judges highlighted that if a firearm could be considered probable cause, then anyone carrying a gun would have to give up their Fourth Amendment protections. The liberal judges are no friend to gun owners, but even they believed this situation went too far.

Speaking of responses to the Brit .gov,

"He did NOT intend '1984' as a how-to, you bastards, it was a WARNING!"
Wayne O’Rourke of Salix Approach, Lincoln, was arrested by Lincolnshire police on charges of stirring up "anti-Muslim" and "anti-establishment" hate online during the recent unrest in Great Britain.
THREE YEARS IN PRISON...
She added that O'Rourke now wanted to re-educate himself about things that he had got wrong.
My, isn't that a terrifying phrase?
"The case highlighted the role of social media as platforms where polarising rhetoric can proliferate without proper controls, raising questions about the boundary between freedom of expression and incitement to hatred," Decripto says.

Big Brother decides what is 'anti' and what is 'hatred', and it depends on what they want to jail you for, you troublesome peasants.

Now there's a response to the Brit .gov

Well, it's not surprising this is one of the Harris staff

After 9/11, Nasrina Bargzie, an Afghan Muslim immigrant, was interviewed by law enforcement over troubling comments on the War on Terror reported by her friends.

Today she’s the Deputy Counsel to Vice President Kamala Harris. And was just named Kamala's liaison to Muslims.

After coming to America from a wealthy family in Kandahar, later a stronghold of the Taliban and Al Qaeda, Nasrina Bargzie was raised in Concord, CA, one of the state’s hubs for Afghan migrants, and quickly got involved in anti-American and pro-terrorist activism.

In 2001, while attending college, she was interrogated by the FBI about comments she had made to her friends. It’s unknown what she said, but it was enough to scare her friends, in one of the most liberal parts of the country, to apparently report her to law enforcement.
And oh yes, there's more.

And on that 2nd particular

night of this week,

It's still damn hot out there, and i've got to go out one more time, so

we'll go to the first evenings entertainment

That post on the Second City Cop site?

Know another factor that could very well help blow things up?

Through months of rioting, looting, arson, maiming, attempted murder and murder, a bunch of these idiot leftist politicians have trained the communists and greens to see that they can do pretty much anything and get away with it.

Now those politicians are terrified about what their little minions might do in Chicago.

Hell, the DNC took a perfectly viable Veep candidate and told him to get lost because he's Jewish and the Dems are that desperate for the terrorist and Jew-hating vote.  So they've also taught the Red-Green Alliance that they will cave to them in the hopes of getting their votes.

It'll be interesting to see
A: Just what all they'll be willing to promise in hopes of those votes, and
B: Just what the average voter out there will think of it.

Ah, joy, more feds doing fed things

involving full tac gear and bullshit excuses.

I swear, if these clowns were told to just knock on the door, in normal clothes, and talk to people as one human to another, they'd wet themselves.

From a source in the craphole known as Chicago

So Conehead wants the extra police presence, but refuses to grant them the authority to....you know....actually be the police, in uniform, within city limits. And the agencies involved are rightfully hesitating sending their officers to be literal unarmed scarecrows in what may possibly be a volatile situation, especially given the fact that Crimesha would gladly let 1,000 rioters go free if she could get a single shot at imprisoning a suburban officer.
I suspect the Democrat convention is going to be a zoo with no bars, and a lot of predators looking for things to break and/or burn and people to hurt.

"These two foods will kill you!

Current version!"  The part that stands out to me:
'We advise that people eat less overly processed, high in saturated fat, sugar and salt food. This includes food like cakes, biscuits, pastries, crisps, sugar-sweetened drinks, and fast food like pizza and burgers.

'These types of food have no fibre and contain virtually no essential nutrients, they should only be eaten occasionally and in small amounts.'
Too much of most things can be bad; but burgers and pizza 'have no fibre and contain virtually no essential nutrients'?  Really?  That I would describe as a load of crap.  But it's great for the "Eat only what we say is good" people.

And gee, there's little to nothing in the media about this

until 'it's too late to do anything before the election.'

"Don't worry, commoners, we'll adjust your diet to fit.

It's all to Save Mother Gaia, y'know!"
Food production could fall by 25 per cent in England under the most ambitious plans to reduce carbon emissions, a Government study has concluded.

Experts at conservation body Natural England who looked at nine scenarios to change land use found that it was not possible to deliver a strong reduction in greenhouse gas emissions without reducing the food supply.

Their report said: 'At the UK scale, there is a strong trade-off between emissions reduction and food production.'

It added: 'Under the most ambitious climate change mitigation scenario, food production is expected to decline by up to 25 per cent.

How much would you bet that the 'elites' will still eat whatever they want?  And plenty of it.

Tell us the cartels own you without saying it outright

The United States managed to arrest Mexico’s most-wanted drug lord, but Mexican prosecutors — and the president — now say they are considering bringing treason charges against those who handed him over

You really need to click over and watch the video for the full "This is how bad inflation really is".  I know you're aware, but having it laid out like this...

Barring a miracle*, Britain is screwed

And most of their media is cheering it along, have to be in good with the .gov, y'know.

Walz. The gift that keeps giving

and giving.
Last Friday, days after he was selected as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, it was reported that Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) had hosted Asad Zaman, an imam who spoke out against Israel on October 7 and shared pro-Hitler propaganda. While the Harris-Walz campaign claimed that Walz had no personal relationship with Zaman, a new report is out showing otherwise.

On Tuesday morning, the Washington Examiner's Gabe Kaminsky, who previously reported on the relationship, posted footage of remarks from Walz about Zaman. A longer version of such remarks has been shared to YouTube.
What is it with Democrat politicians either being friendly with or sucking up to "I want all the Jews dead" clowns?

And why do so many Jewish people keep giving them money?  This is truly stupid.

Our 'elites' want to follow the same path to hell Britain is

Exhibit A:An immigrant who raped a 13-year-old girl in the UK was allowed to walk free because he didn't know rape was illegal.

But posting your opinion on social media leads to years in prison.


Exhibit B: A Haitian migrant charged with the rape of a 15-year-old girl at a Massachusetts hotel was released on $500 bail last week despite ongoing requests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to transfer him to its custody.

This is going to take a lot of lamppost and cordage.

More of 'Putting your kid in public school may be child abuse.'

Given the roughly 50 million students in U.S. K-12 schools each year, the number of students who have been victims of sexual misconduct by school employees is probably in the millions each decade, according to multiple studies. Such numbers would far exceed the high-profile abuse scandals that rocked the Roman Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America.

For a variety of reasons, ranging from embarrassment to eagerness to avoid liability, elected or appointed officials, along with unions or lobbying groups representing school employees, have fought to keep the truth hidden from the public.


And a followon:
“I think we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg,” Oregon attorney Peter Janci told RealClear-Investigations. “There has been a lot of abuse that happened in schools, and there are more coming forward every day as public education and the sentiment to support victims has grown.”

Janci won a $3.5 million settlement against the St. Helens School District in March, the highest figure yet awarded in Oregon in a case involving sexual misconduct by school employees. He said that case and many others reflect years of shifting ideas about how victims of sexual misconduct are perceived and a growing awareness of the scale of the problem.

“Historically, there weren’t as many cases because of the stigma and because the deck was stacked against the victims,” Janci said. “Often we see this time lag where the victims have been struggling with what happened, and the biggest change now is kids are coming forward. Nationally, this trend is just now hitting the K-12 public school sector with the same force.”

At this point I'm close to flat hating Walz, and every cop involved

in this bullshit, from the clowns who gave the orders to the little Stasi wannabes who carried them out.

Here's the link so you can see the video.

I hadn't thought of it this way, but I believe Historian is correct:

What (formerly Great)Britain is doing is paying the danegeld.  And boy, are they going to pay
IT IS always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: –
"We invaded you last night – we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away."

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: –
"Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: --

"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!"

No idea what the backstory on this is, but unless they've got some real good explanation

this is definitely tar & feathers time.

This region's weather:

Go to bed with 'high chance of showers and an occasional storm possible, 1/10" to 1/4" rain except may be heavier in some storms.'

Wake up with 'Flash flood  and flood watches and warnings, with X inches possible in some areas.'

That was yesterday.  Today will be 'Hot and so humid you may see small frogs kicking by in the air.'

Can you say 'Slanted News'? I knew you could

On X, Musk did little to calm tensions. "Civil war is inevitable," he wrote in response to a tweet blaming "mass migration and open borders" for the unrest. (It appears that most of those who've been arrested are locals.) He later responded to another tweet with #TwoTierKeir, referencing a theory where a government deals with some protests more harshly than others.
Let's see... 'most who've been arrested' because a lot of the people they're protesting can gather with swords and machetes, and assault cops, and the cops mostly do nothing.  Because the migrants are protected species.  But no mention of that.

Which also brings us to the 'two tier policing', which has been demonstrated so many times I'm surprised the Brit .gov can deny it with a straight face.

The thought occurs, when will the Brit .gov decide

Civil rights victory,

also a big slap at "We don't have to go through Congress to make law":
Today another federal court rejected President Joe Biden’s war on guns, ruling against his effort to require 3 million to 7 million owners of AR-style pistols to register and pay a $200 tax on their firearms or face prison.

In the latest blow to liberal gun control politicians and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the government’s plan, claiming it was likely to get tossed by the Supreme Court.

For now, the millions of users of guns equipped with “pistol braces” can keep them without fear of being fined or jailed.

The court said the ATF rule was poorly written and vague and gave the agency too much leeway to go after owners of the popular firearms.

“The final rule, as a whole, is arbitrary and capricious because it allows the ATF to arrive at whatever conclusion it wishes without ‘adequately explain[ing] the standard on which its decision is based,’” said the court.

“This is much like shooting the side of a barn, drawing the target around the bullet holes, and then proclaiming, ‘Bullseye!”’ added a footnote in the decision that sent the case back to the District Court.

The ATF ruling was also rapped for putting the burden on gun owners to prove why their guns would be allowed. The court said that was wrong and it is up to ATF to better provide guidelines. “The ATF’s burden-inverting argument makes as much sense as shouldering a rifle by the barrel,” mocked the court.
Which also tells Biden, Harris & Co.- again- that they can't just do whatever they want.

Be it noted that Google has screwed things again,

the "You're signed in, but you must sign in again to load pictures, but we won't let you" crap.  Happily the workaround works.

First of those eves,

so examine

Walz being a socialist asshat like Harris,

this doesn't surprise me

There is only one proper response to this kind of crap

Go fuck yourself, Rowley.  You don't get to censor us.

If you want the video, here

As to the responsibility of asshats like him in this mess,
Here’s the thing: This is all entirely the government’s fault.

After a 17-year-old suspect was arrested for the Southport stabbing attack, the police refused to publicly identify him. Given the pattern around such incidents in England, this led a lot of people to assume that the attacker must be a Muslim immigrant, and so some of the rioters targeted mosques or facilities for so-called “asylum seekers.”

Eventually, the situation was such that officials finally identified the attacker as Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, the son of immigrants from Rwanda. Rudakubana was reportedly born in Cardiff, Wales and, whatever his motive — other than Crazy People Are Dangerous — there is no apparent connection to Islamic radicalism. Therefore, the claim is being made, “misinformation” was to blame for the riots.

No, actually, government secrecy was to blame. If the police had merely released the name and mugshot of the suspect, at least the public would have known that he wasn’t named “Mohammed” or “Abdul,” which was a conclusion many people quickly leapt to, based on recent history of such stabbings not only in England, but all across Europe. And just because it appears the attacker was a deranged teenager — apparently motivated by mental illness, rather than radical ideology — does not mean that complaints about immigration policy are irrelevant or misguided. The cultural dislocations involved in relocating Third World migrants to England (or France, Belgium, Canada, America, etc.) often result in situations like this, where the children of immigrants become alienated or hostile. Even if the immigrants themselves are grateful toward their host country, and eager to have their children take advantage of the available opportunities, the younger generation may not share that attitude, and may not be able to handle the pressure to adapt and assimilate.

It’s not “racist” or “anti-immigrant” to mention this phenomenon, which is widely acknowledged by social workers who deal with immigrant populations, and equally known to advocates of immigration. From a conservative perspective, of course, this problem points toward a simple conclusion about immigration: NUMBERS MATTER.

Assimilation is easier when immigrant populations are relatively small, and the larger the immigrant population, the greater the likelihood of violent conflict. If you have a town of 10,000 people, the arrival of one family of immigrants from Guatemala or Ghana is not going to have much impact on the social fabric; whereas the arrival of 500 or 1,000 immigrants is a whole ’nother thing. When you have mass immigration — which is what England has been dealing with for decades — the potential for trouble rises to a near certainty. Government officials don’t want to tell the truth about the results of their policies, and so a culture of secrecy arises, eroding public trust and leading to exactly the kind of situation that produced riots in the wake of the Southport stabbings.

You could honestly say Harris hates Israel

 

Last I've heard she's had some spokesweasel making excuses, but nothing from her.  Which is telling.

Well, isn't this just joyous?

The FBI allowed Asif Raza Merchant, the Pakistani man charged with plotting with Tehran to assassinate Donald Trump and others, to enter the U.S. in April with special permission known as “significant public benefit parole” even though he was flagged on a terrorism watchlist and recently traveled to Iran, according to government documents reviewed by Just the News.

The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force interviewed Merchant, fingerprinted him and inspected the contents of his electronic devices when he arrived at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport, in Houston, but then let him leave with the special parole that expired on May 11, the memos state.
...
The immigration records from his arrival in Houston on April 13 clearly stated in bright red that he was flagged by the Department of Homeland Security database with the identifier “WATCH LIST” and denoted as a "Lookout Qualified Person of Interest."

Despite direct travel to a country with known terrorist activity, the memo relays that Merchant was “released without incident” into the United States and was “free to travel to desired destination,” which was listed as a family member's home in Texas.
And while this was going on, what's the TSA been up to?  Screwing with a former Representative and her husband for who knows what reason.  Because, apparently, they're dangerous.


More on the subject of 'threat to the United States',
The Biden-Harris administration is quietly floating a funding cut for a national security initiative that protects America's underwater infrastructure. At the same time, it's asking Congress for millions of dollars for equity and "environmental justice" initiatives, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Because protecting the US is far less important than more money for didn't Earn It and 'justice' programs.

Since Fecesbook is throttling just about anything they decide is not complimentary to Harris

and Tampon Tim in particular, and the left in general, and I want to do my part to make sure some of this gets around,

And when you plan on being the one deciding what 'misinformation is...
And isn't it interesting that the people wanting to decide what you can see/read/hear also insist that anything to prevent vote fraud is 'disenfranchising' people?

Meanwhile, in (fG)Britain,

Can you say "I know who the protected species is, and I want to keep my job"?

Once again: Dammit, Bee, you're supposed to be satire!

 

As to that "The Founders could not have foreseen these rapid-fire weapons!" crap,

I present the Kalthoff repeating flintlock

(formerly Great)Britain is screwed,

and their cops are demonstrating the surrender.  When you start an address to the British people with 'Salam Alaikum', you're telling us who you actually consider important.  It will be taken by many as your submission.  I wonder when the socialist morons they just elected will institute a dhimmi tax?

And it'll be more difficult to say anything about it with the public prosecutors so busy policing what you're allowed to say on the modern soapbox.

Yeah, Britain is so screwed.

Well, along with the crapped economy and Soros and leftist prosecutors and judges turning bad guys loose,

should be a surprise to nobody:
A new study published in the journal Injury Prevention on July 25 shows that protection is the overwhelming reason Americans exercise their Second Amendment rights. Titled, “Firearm ownership for protection in the USA, 2023: results from a nationally representative survey,” the authors from the University of Michigan found, “Of all firearm owners, 78.8%… owned a firearm for protection.”
Now, throw in this,
Gun sales hit a new record in July, the 36th straight month of firearms purchases over 1 million.

In breaking the record, people delivered a strong message to liberal Democrats, who last week passed a ban on buying the nation’s most popular firearm, the modern sporting rifle, and other semi-automatic weapons and parts.

According to industry experts, sales in July topped 1.2 million. That means sales have hit 1 million or more each month for three consecutive years.
Hm.  Idiot leftists making it more dangerous out there, and- post-Biden- both Democrats running for Pres. and Veep are gun-grabbing socialists who encouraged rioting and raised bail money for rioters... wonder why so many people are buying guns, it's a mystery...

Not to mention idiots like this Democrat:
A alarming video surfaced Monday appearing to show Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) declaring that Congress will have to disqualify former President Donald Trump on January 6, 2025 if he wins the November election, and predicting a civil war with “rampaging Trump mobs” could erupt as a result.

Raskin made the disturbing comments during a discussion about voter rights with law professor Richard L. Hasen and civil rights lawyer Sherrilyn Iffil at the Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington D.C. on February 17, 2024. The congressman’s remarks were so extreme, some journalists are wondering if the video was manipulated.
"Save us, Raskin, tell us this was faked!  Please!" plead the Professional Journalists.

“I think the office of Jamie Raskin has to comment on the veracity of a video that is circulating, said independent journalist Matt Taibbi. “If it’s in any way altered he needs to make a strong statement to that effect.”
That would be nice.  But as far as I can find he's said nothing about it.  Which is telling.

And another reason some people say either "I need a gun" or "We need more ammo, just in case."

Snork... hehehehe...

Why would you trust ANYONE connected with the feds about, well, ANYTHING?

At this point, especially prosecutors.
After black-clad demonstrators protested Donald Trump's inauguration in an "Anti-Capitalist/Anti-Fascist Bloc" march on January 20, 2017, federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., charged more than 200 of them with rioting. While 21 defendants pleaded guilty, all of the other cases ended in acquittals, mistrials, or charges dismissed with prejudice. One reason for that fiasco, according to recently filed disciplinary charges, was the discovery that the federal prosecutor who oversaw the cases persistently withheld exculpatory evidence and repeatedly lied about it to judges and defense attorneys.
...
According to Fox, Muyskens and Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Detective Greggory Pemberton edited the meeting footage in ways that bolstered the prosecution's case, and Muyskens covered up the extent of those edits. Fox says Muyskens also withheld Project Veritas videos of other DisruptJ20 meetings that would have been helpful to the defense, pretending that they did not exist. And she allegedly concealed the fact that Pemberton, in testimony to a grand jury, had erroneously identified one of the DisruptJ20 defendants as a woman who appears in the video of the planning meeting.
Yes, lots more here.

Guess who's been using that non-existent vote fraud?

Link has the video so you can see it all

"We don't know who brought the cocaine into the White House"

Bullshit.
Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and others in top agency leadership positions wanted to destroy the cocaine discovered in the White House last summer, but the Secret Service Forensics Services Division and the Uniformed Division stood firm and rejected the push to dispose of the evidence, according to three sources in the Secret Service community.

Multiple heated confrontations and disagreements over how best to handle the cocaine ensued after a Secret Services Uniformed Division officer found the bag on July 2, 2023, a quiet Sunday while President Biden and his family were at Camp David in Maryland, the sources said.

At least one Uniformed Division officer was initially assigned to investigate the cocaine incident. But after he told his supervisors, including Cheatle and Acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe, who was deputy director at the time, that he wanted to follow a certain crime-scene investigative protocol, he was taken off the case, according to a source within the Secret Service community familiar with the circumstances of his removal.
Their paid liar Anthony Guglielmi insists "It's all a lie!"  But, since he's been lying about the shooting, and the effed-up security, and who knows what all else, I don't think I trust him.  And yes, it's from 'three sources', but such sources have been pretty accurate about a lot of things the last few years.

If this guy was worth a damn he'd resign over his part in the cluster,

and say "We need an outside group to do a full investigation of this."  
Fat Damn Chance.  
And most of our Professional Journalists don't want to touch it, it seems.
Here are just a few inexplicable things he revealed:
the Secret Service had no radio communications not only with the local police but also with the snipers

most of the vital communications were made using texts over an overloaded cell phone network

There are no recordings of the Secret Service communications, although there are of the locals

Rowe's assertions about the responsibilities of the local snipers didn't actually come from the local snipers--it was just made up by the Secret Service (we would know much less were it not for the locals)

the Secret Service command center was not co-located with the local police

The investigators have YET to talk to the local police who were assisting the SS, including the snipers (after three weeks!)

Butler was the VERY FIRST TIME that the Secret Service provided snipers for a Trump rally this election cycle

hmm, on that last one...
And, oh yes, there's more.

Connections, connections...

The newspaper noted that Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris, was a partner at DLA Piper whose “lobbying clients” had included the governments of Afghanistan and Bahrain, as well as the Qatari government-funded Al Jazeera Network and the Palestine Monetary Authority.

DLA Piper was good to the Emhoff-Harris family with the family taking home $2.7 million in 2019 and $1.2 million in 2020. “To aspire to create wealth is a good thing as far as I’m concerned. If that is what one chooses. I, on the other hand, have chosen to live a life of public service,’ Kamala had claimed. But the “life of public service” led to her husband’s role at DLA Piper.

And two DLA Piper clients are connected to a flashpoint in Kamala’s foreign policy.
Ever notice how often a 'life of public service' involves collection power and lots of money?

Volcanic eruption? Plague? Both?

It was bloody awful then, and would be just as bad  now.
