Ha!
The NBA playoffs are underway, in case anybody cares. I don’t. The NHL playoff matchups are set, and it ought to be a wild one. And that means Minnesota kicking them off tonight against Dallas. MLB is off and running. Except for the Astros who are sputtering at the start. But I think they’ll get it together. And across the pond, Arsenal are ch-, ch- ch-, choking at the end. And that’s it for sports.
What a moron. I’m not sure what criminal activity this constitutes, if any, but this guy definitely isn’t playing with a full deck.
Nice camera work
This headline is bullshit. I don’t see “führer” anywhere in the story.
“Two retards walk into a bar” should be the start of a joke, not what’s happening in a legislative body.
Get a load of this fucking guy. At least he’s not calling them “dindu nuffins.” Although I’m kinda surprised he refrained.
Christ, what an asshole. Although I’m kinda not surprised.
What a shame. A shame that the response isn’t to cut down crime so these businesses can stay open, but rather to give stuff away and not even address the root cause of the closures.
Le douche
This will be interesting. Will he give in or double down? He’s French, so I’d expect him to bend over and give them whatever they want.
The first three letters of this headline don’t belong. And frankly, I don’t see why people who are a part of that group are letting themselves be lumped in with the fourth letter.
Here’s some great rock for you. What an opening. And here’s a masterpiece. And yes, it reminds me of one of the best TV series of all time. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Monday, dear friends.
“Get a load of this fucking guy. At least he’s not calling them “dindu nuffins.” Although I’m kinda surprised he refrained.”
Yo, you shitbags, you are making us look bad!
Chicago is just the beginning. Summer hasn’t even started.
Over and under on how they blame the malcontent criminality from the usual groups of lefty brownshirts on those tat just want to be left alone to live their lives while telling us that it is all our imagination that there is a coordinated entity behind stirring this destructive shit up?
It would be super embarrassing if they had one of these youth events during the DNC convention next Summer.
You misspelled hilarious.
Embarrassing to some, hilarious to others. Everyone’s a winner.
Those would be met with a heavy police presence. Unlike declining to defend those rich and oppressing capitalists.
I don’t know if they would. I believe that CPD went big for the other candidate, and this could be payback for the Defund idiocy of the last few years.
I’m sure the FBI is already working on setting up a few lone wolves to pin any troubles on.
It’s MAGA country, don’t forget.
In case you aren’t old enough to have witnessed the 1968 DNC, the Dems are kind enough to do a reboot.
I am so excited.
As long as I’m not there…
“What a shame. A shame that the response isn’t to cut down crime so these businesses can stay open, but rather to give stuff away and not even address the root cause of the closures.”
The people that by votes are cheering. Vote buying just got even easier in them thar parts..
The blame is with those evil corporations.
The same ones that didn’t just let people loot despite the fact the insurance companies just told them they were now on their own for that risk because the whole thing had gone nuts?
Good start on a Monday morning, Sloop.
And yes, it reminds me of one of the best TV series of all time.
“Murder, She Wrote”?
Set in the murder capital of the US. Crabapple Cove.
Who hurt you?
You should ask him to show you on the doll where the old lady touched him?

“This will be interesting. Will he give in or double down? He’s French, so I’d expect him to bend over and give them whatever they want.”
I wonder why people feel pissed when rich politicians and bureaucrats spend all their time avoiding telling the populous that the elite running things have fucked shit up, so now they are running out of money, will need to make them pretend to do work for 2 more years before they retire to keep the derailment from happening sooner?

“The first three letters of this headline don’t belong. And frankly, I don’t see why people who are a part of that group are letting themselves be lumped in with the fourth letter.”
At this point I am starting to believe that the people that said there was a politically motivated LBGT mafia that has a marxist agenda over a gay one, were right.
My lesbian neighbors believe that if a Republican is ever elected to office in our blue enclave that gay marriage will be banned in a year, and sodomy laws will be on the books in two. They support the trans craze because it’s just a natural extension of the civil rights movement. They also believe that they were lucky to drive through Idaho without being shot, and that the Tea Party was essentially Bavaria in 1932.
They are otherwise nice people but lose their shit when it comes to politics.
The irony being that their continuing refusal to compromise or even slow down the full push to Sodom and Gomorrah will ensure a reactionary backlash that will make all of their fever dreams and much worse come true.
Their problem is that progs have no logical, moral, and consistent philosophy that enables them to say “That’s far enough. We’ve achieved what we set out to do and don’t need to go any further.”
It’s like trying to reason with Covidians.
Simple. The acronym isn’t about what you are, it’s about what you are NOT. Just like the concept of “POC” is about “not being white,” regardless of how it makes sense to compare a black factory worker in Detroit to a Mongolian yak herder.
Umbrella groups can claim more support. The LGB let in the TQ when they needed them and have now lost control.
The same in your face activists of TQ were in LGB yesteryear.
It’s more a matter of many of us falling away when the job was done and the TQs moved in and took over. Just my $0.02 worth of observation.
The radical marxist saw an opening, and they took advantage of it.
It wasn’t so much as we needed them as they were always welcome but as a minority within a minority.
Is it a situation where the gay community are afraid of being accused of pulling the ladder up behind themselves? Because I could see that accusation being levied.
What strikes me as peculiar is that the gay community and the trans community have basically nothing in common. One is based on an inherent attraction to the same sex. The other is based on psychological denial of inherent physical traits. Why they’re lumped together makes no sense.
It makes sense in that they are (or at least were) minority sexual attractions (nowadays it seems like T is completely orthogonal to sexual attraction). But not all minority sexualities are (currently) considered “good,” so you get the QUITLBAG/PANZIES divide.
Some history.
That seems to be the case in the UK, were they are dropping the T, with all sorts of hilarity ensuing.
“Why they’re limped together makes no sense.“
I think NA has it. It’s not about who you are/support, it’s about who you aren’t/are opposed to.

Is it a situation where the gay community are afraid of being accused of pulling the ladder up behind themselves? Because I could see that accusation being levied.
We are constantly reminded that the trans folk have been in the movement since it began and that it is the duty of the rest of us to support them.
One is based on an inherent attraction to the same sex. The other is based on psychological denial of inherent physical traits. Why they’re lumped together makes no sense.
Because dey’s all preverts, see?
“The other is based on psychological denial of inherent physical traits.”
I don’t see how. Regardless, yes, “dey’s all preverts” because there isn’t any kind of T sex that someone couldn’t describe as “gay” in someway.
Anyway, it’s not T’s that are pushing trans ideology. There weren’t enough of them who were both T and also leftist political zealots to fill a Denny’s. Almost all the groups, publications, etc. that are doing that started as gay and lesbian. Perhaps one of most influential and well-funded is the Human Rights Campaign, which was started by gay men in 1980. After they achieved their goal of legalizing same sex marriage and gay acceptance they moved on to the T thing.
Mission creep isn’t just for the government.
“Because dey’s all preverts, see?”
I wanted to see this as raunchy humor Tonio, but while the trans stuff is turning into a disaster for all of us and making me laugh so I don’t have to cry, I am far more worried about the people that tell you they are minor attracted and are part of the LGBT community and what they have planned next. And I don’t mean just small number of gay people that want minors, but the far, far larger group of straights that all want to do kids that will try to use the LGBT community to make that happen.

Which is a shame, cuz the fallout from this will be bad. For him and the rest of us.
Which congressperson are we talking about?
Yep. He deserves to be discharged and laughed at for being a dumbass. Instead the rest of us will suffer as the feds feel emboldened to run more entrapment schemes under different scenarios.
They were unable to slip that bill that was supposedly about banning Tik-Tok but was really about letting the feds fuck over anyone they felt was a problem for the deep state past us, so now they conveniently have all these “problems” happening that will let them to back door it (not to be confused with some of our other stories about certain groups).
The inept fucks running things no longer have the ability or want fix problems. Their focus is on controlling what we know so we believe they are doing something more than looting the valuables on the ship their actions has left sinking. To that end, they will find a way to get back to stopping people from having the means to find out, but especially spreading that information around.

Why limit to the Navy Reserve?
I thought that was the Coast Guard.
Isn’t the Coast Guard fully federal? Do states exercise control until federalized?
Ah…you’re right. Also, under ‘peace time’ it is actually federal law enforcement under Honeland and in war it gets subsumed into the navy.
Isn’t that the Coast Guard?

It’s geniuses running the MMT racket!
“Now, the Fed has raised the interest it pays to 4.55 percent on ONRRPs and 4.65 percent on bank reserves, but the rates it earns on its QE purchases remain mostly unchanged. Assuming, as a rough approximation, that the bonds it purchased pay an average rate of 1.75 percent, and the average rate paid on bank reserves and ONRRPs is 4.6 percent, then the Fed is paying about 2.85 percent per year more than it receives on its $8 trillion dollar securities portfolio. That’s a loss of $228 billion per year!”
No wonder the massive effort to get us on a digital currency. They could then far easier hide passing that burden on the serfs.

Oh goody, whatever would we have done without that physically repulsive corrupt as hell old fool?
There is some pushback but the T activists have successfully turned themselves into a Marxist cult that perfectly aligns with what is now apparently the goal of the Democrats to “smash the system” and burn it all down. Plain ol’ gays now have the entire swamp arrayed against them.

So I’m expecting a return of the military draft next year. DC is determined to go to war and they’re going to need bodies for their meatgrinder.
Looking at ways to keep my son out of it. He is most assuredly not suited for the military, even in peacetime.
The college angle is on the table, but I’m also pondering how to get him out of the country if necessary.
Just thinking out loud here.
Can’t hurt to have a plan in mind I suppose, but it’s highly unlikely. It would be very unpopular, the military doesn’t want it, isn’t prepared for it, and it would probably take money away from more lucrative grifting options for the political class.
If we go at it with China, unpopular won’t be an issue for them. War is the ultimate excuse.
I don’t put anything beyond them at this point, including outlawing political opposition and dissent. Just look at Ukraine, they’re pulling bodies off the street and sending them to the front.
We’ll get nuked so it won’t matter. If the Chicoms are getting trounced in a conventional war they’ll have no moral reservations preventing them from doing so, particularly if we start it or even keep prodding them like we did with Russia.
But since we would retaliate with nukes, they might have self-preservation based reservations about using nukes.
Is registering as a libertarian a service disqualifier?
Just have him identify as a woman.
Good plan. Biden would make him a general and he’d never see combat.
The moment a draft starts expect a bunch of people suing over no females in selective service.
I would like them to sue for violating the 13th Amendment. I know. The Constitution isn’t a suicide pact so the government can ignore it anytime they declare an emergency.
*US gov’t adds SN to yet another list*
but I’m also pondering how to get him out of the country if necessary.
Covid shows how much shit Americans will eat, but it also showed that there are pockets of resistance that wouldn’t follow the insanity. Just as there are now no-go zones in every major city that police won’t enter, I expect the same will be true for some rural areas in the event of the draft. Recruiters will simply disappear in those areas, or the draftee’s family will take a good portion of the local LEOs with them as a honor guard in the firefight.
Might be easier to find him a place in a rural community like that than smuggling him out of the country.
When we first started our homestead, friends and family would joke (but with an edge of seriousness) about coming here if times got tough. The wife and I thought tough shit. Cash, Ass, or Grass, right? Starting about 6 months ago, we’ve started planning to be able support family and close friends coming here, regardless of if they are grasshoppers or ants. On the docket are large water tanks, expanded food production and storage, etc. A large, strong group will be able to weather some tough times that 6 people just can’t handle, no matter how well prepared. That tough times includes a draft.
I have rural property and that thought has come to mind. He may not like the Amish lifestyle, but it’s a far sight better than being drafted.
I doubt there will be a draft right before a presidential election.
If there is an attempt to impose one, it will be after.
I doubt there will be one. Here’s why:
Progressives don’t want their kids drafted. Moreover, the progressive movement really depends on young women to act as its foot-soldiers. Those young women won’t want to be drafted, but won’t have a good answer to the equity argument for drafting all genders.
Furthermore, the progressive movement has been purging the military of people who won’t obey their orders. A draft would just bring all those people back in and undo all their hard work!
Conservatives, of course, don’t want to be drafted period.
It doesn’t matter if one is a Democrat or a Republican, progressive or not, supporting the draft is a great way to lose your next election.
My suggestion is not to get your kid out of the country, but to see if you can’t get him into a very libertarian state. Montana comes to mind. Get him established in a good profession or trade. He’ll have a far easier time ducking an attempt to draft him if the locals are friendly to him and hostile to the feds.
If you are really worried, get him to a psychiatrist for treatment for anxiety. Don’t let him take the drugs being prescribed; just get a prescription on the medical record. An active prescription for psychoactive medication will automatically flag him as physically unfit for military service. Flush the drugs down the toilet.
“Those young women won’t want to be drafted, but won’t have a good answer to the equity argument for drafting all genders.”
They won’t need one.
Thank you. That is indeed helpful.
Hopefully, it won’t flag him as unable to buy a gun in the future.
The progs who matter will get their kids deferments (college, and then something else). This will be another class divide. Same as it ever was.
The people who matter will probably support drafting deplorables into the military because they can be subjected to woke indoctrination there.
The fun will be watching the current mania for teenage girls to identify as male coming to a screeching halt.
Oh wow, good point.
“The fun will be watching the current mania for teenage girls to identify as male coming to a screeching halt.”
I don’t see that happening because of a draft.

Bleah. Assholes.
They seem determined to drive out what remains of the productive class.
So it’s a flat cost per month based on income, then everyone pays the same kW/h rate? Wasn’t super clear.
Under the guise of the ‘delivery rate’ is where they are applying the flat fee. Rich and conserve energy? Doesn’t matter, we will slap you with a 170 flat fee for just connecting to your house each month on top of your usage. Poor and waste energy? No worries, 34 for you and a bunch of programs that will effectively lessen your bill to near zero anyway

That’s a strange way to say “prevent the grooming and mutiilation of children.”
Hey man, if you want equality you have to break a few eggs. Also, is healthcare for adult transsexuals being penalized? I’d put my money on no.
Something that just popped unbidden into my head – the usual excuse by the groomers is that if you don’t let your trans children transition before puberty, they’re more likely to kill themselves. Do I have this broadly correct? If so, why is this kind of emotional manipulation acceptable regarding medical transitioning, and not anything else? Has ‘I’ll kill myself if you don’t let me stay out past 11pm on school nights,’ become an acceptable parent-child interaction?
I’m probably giving this more thought than it deserves…
If you look at the facts the “We must mutilate them to prevent suicide” is a counterfactual. Those who are left alone to develop naturally have suicide rates no worse than the national average. Those who get mutilated have suicide rates shockingly higher than average, with those who attempt it pushing half.
They are not only trying to be manipulative, they are asserting the opposite of reality while they do so.
If they kill themselves as adults after years of regret, that doesn’t count as a teen suicide. So mission accomplished.
they are asserting the opposite of reality
They’re consistent.
“Those who are left alone to develop naturally have suicide rates no worse than the national average. Those who get mutilated have suicide rates shockingly higher than average, with those who attempt it pushing half.”
That is not what the data shows. In fact, the data shows nothing. Anyone stating trans suicide rates is pulling numbers out of their ass.
Seems like they’re others a lot. Themselves, not so much.
Yes, because for the preceding years, a parent was not allowed to visit real consequences upon the child for fears of CPS being called.
This is true. Even when you’ve done absolutely nothing wrong, it’s terrifying when a twenty-something social worker who’s been brainwashed into believing every parent has something to hide comes knocking on your door and demanding entry.
The same group that keeps telling us that kids know best what to do with their genitals are also the same group that says since the brain isn’t fully formed until they are 26, people can’t be held responsible for felonies.

Good morning Glibs! I those of you in the Midwest enjoyed the warm weather before winter decided to come back.
My tournament went ok. We won the first two games in blowout fashion, the third game was a team that liked to just run into people and somehow not get interference penalties, but we won that one 6-5. Unfortunately we lost our semifinal to the Penguins in a shootout. On top of our two teams trying to get to 8 games at 3 rinks in 3 days (no two games were at the same place in a row), they only had one ref for most games. Twice during one game a goal/no goal call was incorrect. My coach is going to file for a refund for the tournament because you pay $1000 per team for ice time and two refs per game.
I’ll admit, it was tempting to turn on the AC a couple of times over the past couple of days, which would have been really annoying when the heat kicked on today.
Living with a Plus-Sized® Jugsy (that doesnt brook heat well), I can tell you that the HVAC for out Palatial 2X-Wide has already been tested.
I turned on the air last week, and last night before bed I was freezing. Then I realized I hadn’t switched back to heat. Oops.
This morning, after hearing the heat kick on, I went through the house and closed the open windows and turned off the ceiling fans.
Still haven’t had nice weather and enough free time to get a ride in yet.
We had 90 degree heat. Again.
But the beach is nice!
I did that in my car earlier this year. We had an unseasonably warm day so I had turned the thermostat in the car way down. A couple days later I was freezing even after the car temp gauge said it had warmed up. I was worried something had gone wrong, but then realized I was just dumb.

Yeah, this one was disappointing. I think it’s because they got rid of the guys who usually organize this due to some ethics issues a few years ago, and the new people just aren’t good at it.
I did have one goal and a few assists. I played defense pretty well, other than a 6-5 game we only allowed 3 in the other 3 games. There were a few teams with “that one fast guy” I had to babysit.
Now we have about 6 weeks and it’s on to Minnesota. That one should be great.

Lately I’ve been seeing stuff like “Carlson is controlled opposition!”. That’s such a self-defeating opinion to take that I have to wonder if it is government psy-ops.
His January 6 schtick didn’t go anywhere, so people feel he’s been compromised.
My impression is, Fox shut it down under pressure from the government. To the extent he has never given an explanation for what happened, then I guess he is compromised.
Nadless, you dishonest cunte.
“We will show the essentially fraudulent nature of what [committee chair] Jim Jordan and company are claiming about the crime rates in New York and compared to other cities, including Republican-led cities,” Nadler told the Post.
“And we will talk about how this whole hearing is part of Jim Jordan and the Republicans’ general attempts to obstruct justice and to attack the DA in Manhattan and to obstruct justice in the Trump case,” he added.
Says the guy who was a direct participant in a literal conspiracy to frame people for crimes they did not commit for the explicit purpose of interfering with American elections. The dude directly used his position in government to lie to the American people in order to influence elections.
But I blame us. At a certain point, if you allow things to continue, you have taken responsibility for them.
He’s kind of right on the latter point. There’s no reason for congress to hold oversight or judiciary committee hearings for something that is a state matter.
If Jordan wants to seek relief for Trump from a state prosecutor, he needs to go to that state’s courts or legislature. I know it sucks, but that’s the way it ought to be done under our current system. And if that fails and there’s a conspiracy by Bragg to prosecute people based on their political affiliation, he could have the Feds look into a federal deprivation of civil rights suit. But I don’t even think that would stand a chance.
Yeah, there is some weird “federal funding” angle, but this whole thing is corrupt from A to Z.
Team R is so inept, they will certainly pull some “L’s” out of a winning hand here.
These hearings are about raising campaign money…
The SpaceX scrub was disappointing…..
But dang, that thing was gorgeous in high def on my big screen TV in the early morning Texas light with clouds of condensation flowing off of it. Those giant chopstick arms make for an epic sci-fi framing of the vehicle poised for launch. And the shots of the engines on both stages were Mzing.
Also… SpaceX brought back John “Norminal” Insprucker, which is a win.
Can’t wait to see this thing fly… probably on 4/20, because Elon.
Elon is a Nazi I’ve been told.
Im surprised his haters haven’t painted him as a apartheid-ist
They have. Repeatedly.
Despite contemporaneous video of him talking about leaving South Africa because of his opposition to apartheid.
That is what the progressive propaganda machine has wrought. They can literally make any charge stick, however ludicrous it mY be.
This is interesting.

Sticking to the depopulation agenda like white on rice.
Rice is to blame for around 10 percent of global emissions of methane, a gas that over two decades, traps about 80 times as much heat as carbon dioxide. Scientists say that if the world wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, rice cannot be ignored.
Yes, yes, of course. I wondered when they would get around to a staple grain that feeds most of the world’s poor.
Once again, they don’t care about forcing the the poor brown people on the other side of the world to make sacrifices, as long as the coastal elites get to feel good about themselves. I’ve seen a few leaders in southeast Asian countries get pissed off about this green agenda. I’d like to see more of that.
I’m not sure where they are headed with that… but they are probably the same folk who opposed Golden Rice…. which is just about as evil as it gets. Making sure poor people keep going blind due to vitamin deficiency in order to stick it to “big agriculture” who are not even directly involved is a pretty terrible look. But I suppose “screw them they cam all starve to death ” is even worse.
Not only is it killing Gaia, but it is totes bad for people too!
Yeah, when I think of countries where rice is the primary grain, I think of unhealthy fat fucks.
That’s because people ditch rice in favor of flavor once they have the means to.
Nah, asians and hispanics don’t stop eating rice when they have money.
Truth.
Rice and beans is on the dinner table virtually every night in every Latin household. Even those born here and who’ve never lived in Latin America still eat rice and beans almost every day.
I am pretty sure we have had several decades of science telling us loudly that rice is totally the healthiest and responsible for the low heart attack rate in Japan..

I’m looking forward to the NHL playoffs. The Wild definitely have their work cut out for them – they did not fare well against the Stars this year. But the playoffs are a different animal.
Infuriating. But this is the price of progress, right?
You run those “communities,” Johnson. You and your party have for several decades now. But somehow I don’t think you’ll accept responsibility for failing them.
The cities are falling like dominos. It’s certainly fixable, but it’s gonna be nasty for awhile.
I went through the playoff bracket yesterday. Lots of series that were too close to call. Should be fun this year.
I’m sure the cops in Chicago are already thrilled with this mayor. That’s also going to be something to watch.
I think average Chicagoites are sick and tired of the crime but this guy won purely on hue. I think otherwise the other guy would have won in a landslide instead of a tight loss.

In our republic, the founders “separated the purse from the sword.” With the passing of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, Congress further separated the purse from our elected representatives by giving the Federal Reserve power over the nation’s money supply.
China has no such separation of powers. President Xi Jinping wields both the sword and purse. What that means if the yuan were to become the global reserve currency is giving the Chinese Communist Party effective control over the money supply for the entire world. The United States would still have the dollar, but it would require exchanging for the yuan to transact with other nations.
Inflation and deflation can both have devastating effects on the economy. Deflation is what caused the Great Depression. Inflation, as we all feel the pain currently, caused an entire decade to be lost in the 1970s.
Allowing China to become the facilitator of the currency used in global commerce, such as the dollar is now, would be to give unprecedented powers to a communist dictatorship. The ebbs and flows of the global economic apparatus would be subject to a hostile foreign power that has no issue retaliating against other sovereign nations that disagree with them.
Bomb Red China now.
Take your huge IF and fuck off.
15 trillion foreign held dollars say “hello.”
Congress further separated the purse from our elected representatives by giving the Federal Reserve power over the nation’s money supply.
The wonders that has done for sounds money and spending policy…
If the Chinese yuan were to become the global reserve currency, it would, in essence, give the CCP the ability to cripple entire nations. With a country as hostile as China, entire sovereign nations would be subject to the whims of the communists who run their countries. The CCP could arbitrarily restrict credit, enact sanctions, block entire nations from global commerce vis a vis foreign exchange prohibition, and use any of the other vast economic warfare tools the global reserve currency brings. Of course, unless nations decide to toe the Communist Party line.
That’s our job!
Exactly.
The midwits are incapable of seeing that it is our behavior which has jeopardized the dollar. We treated it as a weapon and the results are predictable.

I swear, i keep looking at this photo and i keep thinking it looks staged.

More detail is needed, but I’m willing to believe that a shut-in nutjob would shoot someone on their front doorstep. The social and political environment has deteriorated to the point that people are losing their minds.
It would make me laugh if it turned out that he was shot because the homeowner was a branch covidian and the kid wasn’t wearing a mask.
Watching the media try to spin that would be epic.
I’ve been avoiding this story. But the headlines just don’t make much sense.
It would be incredibly strange that the homeowner was not arrested if the facts truly are as reported.
Like ’96 stab wounds in the back ruled as suicide’ strange.
Yes. There is much more to the story which has not been released. If it really was as the newspaper article described, the homeowner would not have been released. I am hoping the homeowner had a video doorbell.
This is the only reason given:
Is there a good reason they would have to wait for that?
Hey, if the cops get away with this kind of shit, so should everyone else.
Yeah, that doesn’t make sense. I don’t think we’re getting the full story.
Winning the ghetto lottery.
WTF is wrong with people. If this situation is as outlined that homeowner should be charged with attempted murder.
Poor kid.
This is indeed, extremely strange.
I find it very very hard to believe that the cops would interview and release a suspect who was credibly suspected of shooting an unarmed 16-year-old with zero provocation. At the absolute very least, the shooter would be doing an overnighter in county while the DA thought the case over.
There might be a procedural reason. For instance, maybe it accelerates a “stand you ground” preliminary hearing, and they don’t want that happening yet.
I assume that the cops, and certainly the DA, understand that neither ‘Stand Your Ground’ nor ‘Castle Doctrine’ mean ‘I can cap anyone who comes on my property.’
But maybe I assume too much.
That photo with his eyes close is what is driving me nuts.
Question: Blood splatter on the face? How did that get there, looks fresh. no dripping blood from the head down the face.
the loose towel around his head.
the lack of leads, only two on his chest.
It looks so unserious.
Maybe Alex Jones needs an intern. So odd.
I would imagine the marks on his face are from glass if he was shot through a glass door, no?
That is my only possible explanation.
Thank you, that makes some sense.
“She says that her nephew had to knock on three doors before he was helped, and even then was told to lie on the floor with his hands above his head.”
Even that is something of stretch. I mean, Im cautious. But if a kid with a GSW to the head knocks on the door…
That’s cartoonish horseshit that raises more questions.
I fail to see where skin pigment comes into play. But I’m not racist like the race-baiters.
That happened very close to where I live.
The news was abuzz with SHOW ME THE DEETS!!! but none other than that has come out. It has the whiff of coverup because the police are tight-lipped and nobody in the neighborhood is talking. Those who do talk “don’t know anything” and are “surprised this happened in my neighborhood.”
Crap. First the tub facet froze up. I called the plumber, don’t want to that myself. The whole side of the tub has to come off to replace it (should that be necessary, cards point to “yes”). Now the clothes machine motor just gave up the ghost. I have to bail it out to move it. Guy comes tomorrow to replace the whole 16 year old thing. Wasn’t worth the cost of a new motor. I am bleeding cash.
Buy a GSD puppy- this little cunte is already into me for a rack, and thats not counting her MSRP.
I feel your pain. I got an unexpected dividend of $1,500 two weeks ago. Yippee – maybe a nice long weekend at the beach?
Nope – wind blew down my wood fence and gate – $1195 to repair. Yesterday, five year old garbage disposal springs a leak and needs replacement by a plumber today (can’t do it myself with only one eye), then Mrs. Creech says “let’s change out the faucet too.”
Drop about $400 at Lowe’s and still have to pay the plumber to install both.
The valve assembly in the shower broke yesterday.
I had to take it halfway apart to shut if off.
Plumber comes tomorrows.
A quick google search shows an equivalent Delta valve (to replace the 18-year-old valve) is $500 to $1000 depending on style and finish. I sort of doubt the plumber will have an equivalent in stock. So I could wind up waiting for a part and have a second trip from the plumber.
The good news is that we have a fully functional bath/shower in the basement.
A five hundred dollar valve?
Holy shit!!!
So those prices were shown at Delta’s website. Looks like most places sell for half what delta was showing as MSR
Looks like online/wholesale pricing is half that. But the plumber isn’t gonna sell it to me a that price.
You can buy it and have the plumber install it. I did that when my shower valve died. Saved $250.
Correct.
That’s what we did when we bought the house.
But I don’t have time today to go find one locally, and ordering online will take too long.
Sometimes you just pay someone else to make your problems go away.
Yikes! Sorry.
Sixteen years out of a washing machine is good though.
These things usually happen in threes…
Yes they do. Still waiting for it. With horror. Unless it started with the keyboard of my old Mac dying this past three weeks’ ago.
Have no fear
The bank failures, however, have fueled uncertainty about the potential for additional bank collapses as well as possible aftershocks that could tip the US economy into a recession while the Fed is nearing the tail end of a historic rate-hiking campaign to bring down inflation.
That’s not the case currently, Yellen said.
“I’m not seeing anything at this time that is dramatic enough or significant enough in my view to significantly change the outlook,” Yellen said. “I think the outlook remains one for moderate growth and a continued strong labor market with inflation coming down.”
Yellen’s interview with Zakaria came near the tail end of a jam-packed week of meetings, public appearances and speeches for the Treasury Secretary in conjunction with the IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings, where Ukraine was a key focus.
In the interview with Zakaria, Yellen said that Russia should pay for the damage caused in Ukraine and talks are ongoing as to potential mechanisms to make that happen.
“That’s a responsibility that I think the global community expects Russia to bear,” she said. “This is something we’re discussing with our partners, but there are legal constraints on what we can do with frozen Russian assets.”
Everything is under control. As soon as we whip those Rooskies, the looting will begin in earnest.

Even economists at profit-driven investment banks are sounding the alarm. “Today’s price inflation is more a product of profits than wages,” UBS Global Wealth Management chief economist Paul Donovan wrote in November, charging that firms had “taken advantage of circumstances to expand profit margins.”
More recently, in April, Albert Edwards, global strategist at Société Générale, France’s third largest bank, expressed disbelief at the “unprecedented” and “astonishing” ways that big business had used the inflation-driving disruptions of the past few years as an “excuse” to run up “super-normal profit margins.” Calling for price controls, he warned that this behavior, coupled with the way ordinary workers are being made to foot the bill for these excesses, could “inflame social unrest” and lead to “the end of capitalism.”
Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have put forward bills to hold down firms’ price hikes and claw back their resulting profits. But because discussing the role of corporate price gouging in the inflation crisis has been rendered virtually taboo the past few years, and because the Fed’s limited tool set only lets it attack workers’ wages instead of firms’ profits, these ideas haven’t gotten much traction. Instead, the US central bank is persisting with a strategy that its own staff are predicting will tip the country into recession.
If and when that happens, we’ll no doubt see an uptick in the popular anger Edwards warns about, especially if that downturn is met with more bailouts for the rich while workers are once more told to grit their teeth and make do with scraps. The jury’s out on whether the second part of Edwards’s prediction will come true — but the Federal Reserve sure seems dead set on finding out.
Down with capitalism.

Approximately 18,000 cows were killed, and one person was critically injured, in an explosion at a dairy farm in the Texas Panhandle on Monday.
The Castro County Sheriff’s Office confirmed with Fox News Digital that the cows were in a holding area before being brought in for milking when the blast occurred at the Southfork Dairy Farm in Dimmitt.
Very few cows in the holding area survived, officials told local outlet KFDA.
“Your count probably is close to that. There’s some that survived, there’s some that are probably injured to the point where they’ll have to be destroyed,” Castro County Sherif Sal Rivera told KFDA.
