In many places, when you get in the water

you are no longer at the top of the food chain.

I've got crap to do, and not enough sleep to do it on, so

a few things together:
What?  The Jan. 6 mess had corrupt politicians making sure it was a mess?  How could that be?


Civil rights win: 'ATF Pistol Brace Rule is Likely Illegal'


The PRC putting money into US schools?  Why am I not surprised?

I doubt it needs be said that our 'Justice' Department needs cleaning out as badly as the EffingBI.

The idea that our Justice Department can indict someone, especially the sitting president’s main political rival, over speech that’s protected by the First Amendment is simply insane. It puts us firmly into banana republic territory, where tinpot dictators jail their political opponents ahead of election day to ensure their “reelection.”
Well, we've got the tinpot dictator wannabe, who's trying hard to make it.  And he's put the perfect corrupt dictator accessory in charge of said Do'J'.

This is nothing that couldn't be solved by some suitable hangings

I'm sure there are lampposts in Seattle.
And maybe a couple of A10 or Apache strikes on the 'homeless' encampment(s).

The voters may be getting what they voted for, but the emergency guys don't need this crap.

I spent a few hours outside,

including a half-hour or so prep, to do some stuff.  Drank a lot, and I still feel like I damn near overheated.  Can't handle these temps as well as I used to, even with the humidity way down.  So, while I sit here avoiding cleanup for a bit, I shall browse some news, which includes this idiocy from the Brit military*:
DEFENCE chiefs announced this week that British soldiers could soon be given electric bicycles so they can sneak up more quietly (and cheaply) than if they were in a tank.

Yes. But have you ever tried to ride a bicycle in soft sand? Or in a bog? It’s impossible.

So if stealth (and savings) are the main consideration, I have a better idea. Why not give them horses?
More at the link, including commentary on whiny bitches at corporations and banks.
*no doubt some idiot at the Pentagon has been waiting for encouragement to suggest this.


Holy crap, just like the Biden laptop was real, looks like the Biden diary was and is real.
Expect the Professional Journalists to continue trying to hide everything about it.


Ok, I need more to drink.  And to turn down the a/c a bit.  More later.

John Effing Kerry says it out loud

Frequent private jet passenger, John Kerry, admits that destruction of the farming industry is essential to achieving 'Net Zero':

"Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world. And we can’t get to net zero—we don’t get this job done—unless agriculture is front and centre as part of the solution."

"You just can’t continue to both warm the planet, while also expecting to feed it. It doesn’t work. So we have to reduce emissions from the food system."
I truly think these people wouldn't mind running their own Holodomor.

Also, since these asshats intend to be the ones running things, perhaps a good term would be 'Royalists', since they plan to rule all others.

Looks like the socialists and racists want a permanent command of those kids,

and the parents and others need to have a mass firing.
State officials asked the CEO of the Philadelphia-based Center for Black Educator Development—Sharif El-Mekki—to help write the new standards. In a 69-page document, the group quotes fugitive cop killer Asatta Shakur, who was convicted of killing a New Jersey state trooper in 1973. The group bills Shakur — who escaped prison and was granted asylum by the Castro regime in 1979 — as a "civil rights activist." The document also talks about managing "the teacher-to-activist pipeline" so that teachers can encourage students to fight for "social justice."

"Many of the new teachers who come out of Pennsylvania's educator prep programs say that they are not prepared to teach anyone, but particularly not prepared to teach students from culturally diverse backgrounds," he said.
Etc.  The usual "We may not teach your kid to read, but we'll do a wonderful job of indoctrination!"

And if they're 'not prepared to teach anyone', why are you hiring them?

The only good thing about this crap is they're honest about it.

A question for anyone who's messed with anchors and concrete

The bottom plate of one of the porch rails(wrought iron type), the screws have broken.  I'm thinking have to use a carbide masonry bit to drill out the screw and anchor so I can put new ones in.

That sound good, or a better method that does not involve renting/borrowing equipment?

But this time it would hurt their fellow socialists,

so of course they're against it!

Get what you demanded, get slapped HARD by the consequences,

some people get the message.
Failed leadership, including the movement to defund the police, our District Attorney’s unwillingness to charge and prosecute people who murder and commit life threatening serious crimes, and the proliferation of anti-police rhetoric have created a heyday for Oakland criminals. If there are no consequences for committing crime in Oakland, crime will continue to soar.
...
We are in crisis and elected leaders must declare a state of emergency and bring resources together from the city, the county, and the state to end the crisis. We are 500 police officers short of the number that experts say Oakland needs. Our 911 system does not work. Residents now know that help will not come when danger confronts them. Worse, criminals know that too…

There is nothing compassionate or progressive about allowing criminal behavior to fester and rob Oakland residents of their basic rights to public safety. It is not racist or unkind to want to be safe from crime. No one should live in fear in our city.
I'd change one thing: the criminals should be in fear of getting stuck in a cell.

Chances of the leftists reacting as they should: damn low.

7th eve and yes,

got it done

"Your school teaches things we don't approve of? No money for you!" says Biden.

The Biden administration is blocking key federal funding earmarked under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 for schools with hunting and archery programs.

According to federal guidance circulated among hunting education groups and shared with Fox News Digital, the Department of Education determined that, under the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) passed last year, school hunting and archery classes are precluded from receiving federal funding. The interpretation could impact millions of American children enrolled in such programs.
Because Safety!  The "We don't approve of children being taught such things and want to destroy them" isn't spoken honestly.

There's not a front coming through, but my knees hurt anyway,

so I need to get some rest.  Enjoy the 6th evening data.

The Dark & Fascist State of New Jersey:

"Yes, it's a right, but we'll make it as difficult and expensive as possible to exercise it.  For your own good, of course."

Bureaucrats and politicians who need a severe meeting with a whipping post.

Not only are a lot of Professional Journalists lying bastards,

it really doesn't help that they're actively on the other side.  'Other' meaning 'whoever is against the US.'

It looks like at least one of Biden's lawyers needs to lose her license,

and if others were in on this, them too.  If there's not some kind of serious sanction on this crap, I'd really like to know why.

If you don't want to look at the Twitter link, short version: lawyer from Biden's group called the Court, pretended to be with a GOP lawyers group, and asked them to remove testimony from the court records.  Which is supposed to be a SERIOUS bad thing to do.  When called on it, the Biden clown accused the GOP lawyers of 'improper actions' by having that testimony in the record, etc.

These people are disgusting.

"And it SPED UP!" No, not really, but

it wouldn't have surprised me.

I flatly despise most of our 'news' media

They lie to us by omission or openly.  They push the .gov line that comes from leftists and Democrats, and either crap on or don't give us the other side.

Look at Biden.  The mental problems, the corruption, the lies, the control-freak 'save us from climate change' crap.  Something gets out about what they're up to, people get mad, and they tell us it's 'a right-wing conspiracy theory' for a while; then, when the clowns confirm it's real, it's 'for our own good, they're saving us!'

At the same time, anybody with a 'R' after their name points these things out, or- even worse- has a hearing pulling Unapproved Information out, and they'd better feel like Caesar just before the Ides of March except be smart enough to wear armor.  And Trump might as well be running around with a national socialist swastika on his arm(if he had a hammer and sickle, the bastards would love him), and it's endless.

Some of them make some of the most racist, bigoted statements you can imagine, and if you object you become the racist and bigot.

And then they cry that we don't believe and trust them.  

Their whole career, if they actually report, depends on the protections of the 1st Amendment, yet they crap on it because people get to hear the other side, other information, other people speaking.

Most of them are bastards not to be trusted about ANYTHING.

I hate having my eyes dilated

Takes hours for the effect to wear off, and makes it hard to do much of anything

Suddenly the IRS decides "We'll start being nicer about this." Right.

The questions are "Do they actually mean it?", and "Is this because it's right, or because it makes their employees feel better?"

Or, of course, bad publicity is causing them problems and they want that to stop.

Should've happened a long time ago simply because it's a bad way to act.
