Just one Oath Keeper serving in a police or sheriff’s department is too many, said Daryl Johnson, a security consultant and former senior analyst for domestic terrorism at the Department of Homeland Security.
“The Oath Keepers subscribe to anti-government conspiracy theories, so the fact that officers belong to an organization that believes in this type of stuff really calls into question their discretion and their ability to make sound judgments,” Johnson said.

” I’m sure the taunting is merciless.”
At my old office, which was a row of office/warehouse spaces, the cops came knocking one day. Seems the night before, they’d chased down someone in a stolen car, and when he bolted he tossed the keys, which may have landed on the buildings roof. The cops asked if I had a roof access and I said, “no but I have a ladder and Ive always wondered whats up there”. So me and a cop climbed up and walked around while cop #2 looked around behind the building. He didnt find anything, so we went to climb down, and cop #1 was VERY apprehensive about approaching the ladder (from a flat roof). I said “are you OK?” and he replied “yeah, I really dont like heights, and Im just not sure how to…” as he was stepping back & forth, twisting his hips, picking up a leg, and looking really confused.
I said, “look- I have my phone. Need me to call the fire department?” He looked panicked and said “Oh, fu*k no! Ill never hear the end of it!”

Either way, they are all violating their oaths of office to support and defend the Us constitution.

Crazy talk
Scores of former Trump political appointees gathered at a GOP social club Wednesday night to hear Steve Bannon detail how they could help the next Republican president reconfigure government.
“If you’re going to take over the administrative state and deconstruct it then you have to have shock troops prepared to take it over immediately,” Bannon said in a telephone interview with NBC News. “I gave ’em fire and brimstone.”
Bannon, who ran former President Donald Trump’s first campaign and later worked as a top adviser in the White House, said that Trump’s agenda was delayed by the challenges of quickly filling roughly 4,000 slots for presidential appointees at federal agencies and the steep learning curve for political officials who were new to Washington.
——-
“There are so many statutes and regulations as well as agency and departmental policies, it can be very overwhelming when you first come in,” said Jeffrey Scott Shapiro, a former Broadcasting Board of Governors official who is one of the organizers of the group. “This is an organization that has a very narrow, clear and much-needed purpose, and, once it is operational, I think it could do a lot of good not just for the Republican Party but for the country.”
Trump often railed publicly about career civil servants and Obama administration political appointee holdovers whom he saw as obstacles to his agenda, referring to them collectively as the “deep state.”
There is no such thing as the Deep State. There are, however, thousands of federal government employees who are devoted to making America a better, more just, and equitable place and using every tool in their possession to do so. Including slow-walking white supremacy.
Along those lines, I just read this piece this morning. Not a bad bit of analysis on the whole. Might be tougher than expected to dig the ticks out if they have a sympathetic court though.

Interesting article. Thanks
After reading the article (and the comments, yeek!) and doing some thinking, I keep getting this image in my head. Headline, April 12 2022. Donald Trump Assassanated During Campaign Rally. Local AntiFa Activist Charged with Murder…
Haha! Charges? Medal of Honor!
We now have a massive bureaucracy that use checks and balances to block any outsider from dismantling the bureaucracy.
It might be possible to do an end run, but it depends on how much time you have. As the head of the executive branch (esp if you can work *well* with folks in Senate or House (Trump lost out on this since he wanted to fight with McConnell)) – you might be able to cut funding down enough to strangle some agencies and force layoffs – or at the very minimum force congress to vote on things (and veto them) – and get congress to take public stands on stuff their constituents need to consider in the future.
As your article points out, we have one party that is fully supportive of the bureaucratic state and is coordinating with them and another that just doesn’t want to poke the bear and will play the role of loyal opposition.
Unless Congress asserts its authority in combination with an amenable executive, this won’t be solved without total collapse, which will involve a fair amount of violence. I’m not optimistic.
I don’t think the judicial branch even matters at this point. When push comes to shove, they’ll just sign on to the victor’s side.
I cant tell you right now that when civil war 2.0 is resolved and the commies are deported or the bloodletting stops, anyone who didnt fight for America and the constitution wont get to vote for Americas future.
The founders felt that unless you have skin in the game, you dont get to determine the future path of america.
Trump worked okay with mcconnell but mcconnell just didnt want to give too many wins that would change the DC environment forever.
Trump getting his way and cutting federal budgets by 20%+ would take power away from washington. DC politicians know much of their power comes from funneling tax revenue through congress and then passing it out in exchange for votes and support.
Its why I crack up when Lefties get pissed off when Americans advocate massive government cuts while still collecting social security/VA benefits/some other govt benefit. According to Lefties, once your on the govt teat, youre insane to want to limit government. It just doesnt compute.
Civics education could be replaced with just rewatching Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister. But people would still miss the accuracy.

“We require breaks during the workday, sleep, food, a safe trip home and a little time with family or away from the job.
The demands of the industry must be balanced with the health and wellness of its members. The changes we seek are modest and manageable. What we seek is simply fairness.”
This was a pretty long article. You’d think that there would be some details. If I’m reading this right, the poor dears
– get no breaks during the workday. I’m sure OSHA would like a word.
– get no sleep
– are starving from lack of food
– are being raped and murdered on their way home from the job. Actually, this is LA, so maybe.
– haven’t seen their families since they started these jobs.
Inquiring minds would like to know what the actual demands are.
Not OSHA. I think you meant DOL.
However, under the General Duties Clause‘ breaks may fit in.

Say his name three times while looking in the mirror
McAuliffe twice called Youngkin, a former CEO of the private equity giant Carlyle Group, a Trump “wannabe.” He noted that his rival had made “election integrity” — a phrase Republicans often use to appeal to those who strongly but falsely believe the last election was stolen from Trump — a top priority during the GOP primary.
“He wants to bring Trump-style politics to Virginia,” McAuliffe said, “and we’re not going to allow it.”
Youngkin offered a relatively tepid response when moderator Chuck Todd of NBC News asked if he would back Trump for president in 2024, saying only that he would support Trump if he’s the GOP nominee. Youngkin also mocked McAuliffe’s fixation on Trump, observing halfway through the hourlong debate that he had already mentioned the former president’s name more than 10 times.
“The only person invoking Trump,” Youngkin charged, “is you.”
It’s all Terry’s got to hang his hat on. Democrats will be running as the Not-Trump Party for the next fifty years.
I guess we’ve conveniently forgotten that Democrats claimed for four years, without evidence, that Trump “stole the election”.

After an Axios story last weekend paraphrased Youngkin as saying Biden’s victory over Trump was legitimate but declining to say if he would have voted to certify the election results as a member of Congress, McAuliffe aides and allies treated it as a major scandal.
The story in itself illustrated Youngkin’s playing-both-sides strategy. The next day, he clarified in an interview with WTKR Channel 3 in Norfolk that he would have voted to certify the 2020 election.
Democrats seized on another moment when Youngkin spoke imprecisely. After he said during the recent debate that traditional vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella “can be mandatory” — even though he opposes mandates for the Covid-19 vaccine — Democrats cast it as a refusal to support the long-running requirement for schoolchildren to receive those other inoculations.
“We cannot allow Glenn and his right wing, anti-Covid safety agenda anywhere near the governorship,” Gov. Ralph Northam, the term-limited outgoing Democrat, said on a call with reporters organized by the state Democratic Party.

A followup to yesterdays lettuce washing question:
when washing blueberries do you wash each individual one or sort of rinse them all together?
How thoroughly do you scrub your steaks while you are washing them? Do you use an SOS pad?
I dont wash steaks they go on hot cast iron. I also don’t wash chicken I hear some people do that
Factory chickens are warshed out with chlorinated* water.
If you kill your own chickens you gotta clean ’em real good.
*As I understand it this doesn’t mean that the chicken itself is chlorinated
???
I wash, scrape, dry, and age all my steaks. Working in a grocery, I see how food gets handled.
I also work in a grocery store, meat department no less, and I don’t do any of that. Working in a grocery store also means I can’t afford steaks anymore.
Many of our locations are offering buyouts to the cutters and going with all vacuum packed cuts, delivered from a central location.

I bet the robots don’t even ignore you with their backs turned while you’re standing there patiently tapping your foot. I can’t even.
Rinse them in the all together? You do you, I’m not judging.

drugplague war, there’s too much money in itA pill that could potentially treat Covid-19 is a “game-changer,” but experts are emphasizing that it’s not an alternative to vaccinations — which remain the most effective path to ending the coronavirus pandemic if enough people get their shots.
Yet, the average number of people getting vaccinated — at 270,531 — is the lowest it’s been since August 15, according to Friday’s data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A little over 65% of the eligible population is fully vaccinated, the data shows.
At the same time, the US hit a grim milestone Friday by surpassing 700,000 deaths from Covid-19, according to Johns Hopkins University’s data. The US tops the world for Covid-19 deaths, followed by Brazil with nearly 600,000 fatalities, according to the data.
The news from Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics on Friday that they created an antiviral pill that can reduce Covid-19 hospitalization and death by 50% was hailed by health experts, although they cautioned it wasn’t a replacement for vaccinations.
Magic bullets today, magic bullets tomorrow, magic bullets forever.
EXPERTS have decreed it so.
The number getting vaccinated is lowest…. Isn’t that because so many are already vaccinated? Just such a weird thing to say in this article.

ugh “It won’t be”

Love how they keep using the term “grim milestone”.
The CBC started this morning with “Doctors in the US are seeing the nation’s higest-ever mortality rate”, which is clearly bullshit if you look at a site like Worldometers. Apparently they were twisting words to mean that the US has more covid deaths than any other nation, but knowing fully well normal people would interpret it to mean that more people were dying from covid today than at any other point in the past 18 months.
This whole episode is a stark reminder of the general public’s abysmal understanding of statistics.
This entire time, the media has just been picking whichever statistic seems the worst… One week it’s the death rate, then the next week it will be the raw number of deaths, per capita deaths, hospitalization rate, ICU capacity, and I even heard “percentage of those hospitalized for COVID are under 40”.
They’ve also been playing with definitions… Like how a “case” is a person who had some ‘Vid particles in their nose, but they would have you assume that it means a person who is laid up with the disease and hacking up clouds of contagion wherever they go… And of course, “COVID deaths” means a person who died after having a positive PCR test at some point in their lives. Ditto with “hospitalized for COVID”.
You could illustrate every method of deceiving with statistics using the COVID hysteria.
I’m decidedly not a math enthusiast, but it shouldn’t be hard to see through this bullshit, and I’m very disappointed and concerned that seemingly intelligent people are just listening to the corporate media fearmongering and immediately absorbing everything they’re told with no questioning whatsoever.
As I say much too often, I was a B student in math and my schooling could have been better, but I still see through this crap. “Here’s where Cameron goes berserk.”
I’ve never been good at math, but that’s not because I don’t understand the concepts, it’s more that I forget what I’m doing in the middle of an equation.
Meanwhile, Louisiana reported Friday that a child at or under the age of four died from Covid-19. It was the state’s 17th pediatric death from the virus.
“We owe it to ourselves, our children and everyone around us to take advantage of the best protection we have, and that is the vaccine and wearing a mask,” Louisiana State Health Officer Dr. Joseph Kanter said.
How many children have died from choking, or drowning, or hospital-acquired infections?
I assume the dead child had pediatric cancer or some other underlying condition conveniently not mentioned in the article.

635 million? I could get my roof fixed with that kind of coin.
I plan to get one. A ticket to dream.
Exactly what it is, I’ll probably pick one up today. Years ago the guy behind me made a snide comment about odds when I was buying a lotto ticket. I explained that I was paying the buck (at that time it was a buck) to be able to daydream the next day while bored at work. The price of that daydream was easily worth a buck to me. I spend a grand total of about $20 a year on lotto tickets. It’s daydream material.
I know people get more excited with the lottery being that large.
They also changed the payout rules so instead of more people getting smaller payouts, less people get larger payouts.

“Pompeo: “No Apologies” For Alleged Plan To Kill Assange”
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pompeo-no-apologies-alleged-plan-kill-assange
I swear, Trump’s personnel selection ability is so piss poor I don’t know how he managed to make a single penny. Morality aside, killing Assange would have been a diplomatic disaster of truly epic proportions.
He completely misunderstood the nature of the bureaucracy and, I am guessing, conflated bureaucratic success with private sector success.
?
The bureaucracy has to be destroyed. It is not salvageable or convertible.
This!!! See the Dominic Cummings article I posted above.
A former spook willing to kill someone who is politically damaging to THE SYSTEM?! Inconceivable!
(I do think what Assange did was illegal and detrimental to security and he should face some sort of retribution, but not death)
Conviction immediately followed by a pardon would be fine in my book. No wait, he’s not a citizen of the US nor did he actually commit a crime in the US afaik. Charges dismissed with prejudice.
To be fair, Trump had to choose from a short list. Remember, Lefties put out the call to RESIST! Nobody can work for Trump.

From LCDR Fish link:
Trump could have taken another branching history in February 2020 and stomped on covid — closed the borders (with the Democrats screaming ‘racist’), forced strict lockdowns, controlled the virus, and fired/appointed people to do vaccines at war-speed (with the Democrats screaming ‘fascist’). If he had he would have won.
Aaaand done. Fuck off, stupid.
I’m not certain that was a moral judgement, just an observation. But it may have been.
And then the virus would’ve been banished forever from our shores. Just like I’m Australia where life is totally normal.
Someone’s going to be in the hot seat if/when they finally join the rest of the world again. Nobody wants to be that person ergo they will never re-open.
Pretty easily foreseeable. I wonder how long they can keep it up. My kids mentioned visiting their aunt recently in Perth and I had to tell them that was likely not happening till they were adults. I’ve never been to the Antipodes and at this point it looks like I never will (at least this bullshit is saving me some serious coin).
Trump actually tried to do those things, trying to stop flights from Wuhan and suggesting a tighter lockdown for the NYC area. The Democrat governors and the Deep State blocked him.
And on the flip side in the closing days of the Trump admin, they were going to start reducing restrictions on international travel. Biden admin’s first acts was to cancel that and institute even further ones. Crickets.

fear itselfGovernment deciding every aspect of your life.”Trump’s handling of the Vid was absolutely fucking dismal. He should have never panicked and closed off flights (The Best Move!!) and, yes, he should have fired Fauci’s decrepit ass in April of 2020.
Trump couldnt fire fauci. Fauci is The director of the NIAID and has been since the 1980s. He is a super bureaucrat.
I think Trump should have not treated covid any different than the flu but democrats were never going to let that happen.

Not sure what to make of him these days; he sounds a bit confused. Went to see him a couple of years ago and it was unmemorable. I was expecting the “‘ciao!’ / wink / rev Vespa” iteration.
