Notes from the Resistance...
Do they have big backers? Do they have the resources to run a professional PR campaign, buy TV time and become a credible threat? Can we follow the money, assuming there is any? [More]Who are these guys? And how serious of a threat do they represent?
[I]t will take Gov. Mapp less time than it took to type this paragraph to declare he believes the citizen disarmament powers delegated in 23 V.I.C. § 1522 are unconstitutional, that he repudiates and will not enforce them, and that he calls on all members of the Legislature of the Virgin Islands to repeal those provisions at the first reasonable opportunity. [More]If not done in a timely manner, Congress and President Trump should be pressed to exercise their veto power over territorial legislation.
Southern Poverty Law Center Gets Creative to Label 'Hate Groups' [More]Actually, as with all things Opposite Day "progressive," it's been done:
Those caught outside the amnesty period face fines of up to A$280,000 (£172,000, $225,000) and up to 14 years in jail. [More]So why are we giving them a pressure release valve to help lessen the immediate impact of citizen disarmament?
It is absolutely true that Christians are called to serve others, and be hospitable to strangers. [More]They're not called on to allow that service and hospitality to be abused, especially to the point where their home is taken over.
A DEA officer had a wild affair with a convict — letting her listen to wiretaps, roam the evidence room, and have sex in the office [More]Looks like she blew his ... uh... cover. And looks like he stained more than just the agency's reputation.
Pilot Rock City Council looks to ODFW for turkey solutions [More]Now there's a problem crying out for a committee! Have you got a 27B/6?
New Hampshire mosque preaches terrorism [More]Well then how come they're not listed, huh?
Civil Rights Lawsuit Claims Gifted Black Girl Bullied by Black Students for ‘Acting White’[More]Now put these chains back on and remember your place!
Berkeley Students Want to Name Campus Building After Cop Killer [More]Hey, maybe the new Star Trek can name a ship after her!
Star Trek: Discovery to tackle Trump-era political divideExclusive: ‘The Klingons are going to help us look at certain sides of ourselves and our country’ [More]They no longer try to hide the blatant manipulation because they no longer have to. And in true Opposite Day "progressive" fashion, what they're doing widens the divide.
Jennifer Lawrence says hurricanes may be nature's 'wrath' for Trump victory [More]I'd say that kind of deep and profound thinking more than qualifies her for that seat on Bloomberg's Creative Council.
She notices every time Fields recounts the story of the murder he adds a few embellishments, taking a little less responsibility. She says: "He is sorry though. I don’t believe he is going to do it again.” [More]Yeah, but you're not the only one assuming the risk, are you?
An earthquake described by Mexico's president as the country's strongest in a century has struck off the southern coast, killing at least 27 people. [More]Is it totally ignorant to think "Ring of Fire," and to then wonder if Kim set off the vibration that knocked loose the pebble that started the avalanche...?
"Turn the water tap and water comes out."Imagine these same people a week after the lights have gone out, and in many cases, days.
By what suspension of reality, by what denial of the observable and the probable, by what art, device or magic are we sheltered few immune from catastrophe? Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that such things will never affect us personally? Is it not just plain stupid to proclaim that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances; and one, by the way, that has only been preserved under force of arms?Any bets most won't learn a thing, and will go right back to the old ways of unpreparedness and procrastination once this episode is over?
