You Never Want a Serious Crisis to Go to Waste

Yep. Give more power to those responsible for reintroducing diseases eradicated decades ago back into the country.

It's the Opposite Day "progressive" thing to do!

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term 'Insider Trading' Is

Who Better to Decide than a Democrat Apparatchik?

But Peterson, judge for the U.S. District Court Western District, decided that the MacIver Institute is simply a think tank, not a news organization, with an “idealogical mission.” [More]

Not that an Obama appointee has an ideological mission of his own (and somebody tell Townhall it's "James D." not "William"...

Government-"Authorized Journalists"...

What could go wrong?

CHO's on First?

“People think the World Health Organization should change its name. It shouldn’t be called the WHO, it should be renamed the Chinese Health Organization (CHO). This appeal is truly resonating with the people,” the vice PM said. [More]

I'm fine with canning Teddy Boy. I just can't get myself to sign a petition with a goal to "help the world to gain faith to the UN and WHO again."

Besides, what's not to trust?

'The Target Now Used by Professionals'

That's the slogan on a full-page ad running in the current issue of Shooting Industry magazine for these.

If the enforcers are going to be conditioned to blow a citizen away, I guess it only makes sense to have them focus on the ones the ubiquitous narrative tells them are the greatest threat. Besides, think of the "progressive" outrage if one were to diversify and become inclusive and vibrant.

Don't want to get them mad-- they might not like us.

This is a job for Thad Kirkland, who values the First Amendment as much as he does the Second!

And in fairness, leave it to the "Only Ones" to make things worse.

UPDATE: I'd forgotten about this, showing it's not Thad's first rodeo.

The Day the Earth Stood Still

The coronavirus pandemic is making Earth shake less [More]

Anthropomorphic global shaking?

I'm sensing a ground-floor wealth transfer opportunity here in vibration credits alone...

It reminds me of a bumper sticker my sister saw some years back:

STOP PLATE TECTONICS

A New Breed of Welfare Parasite

The ailing news industry, struggling during a pandemic-induced economic slump, is pressing for new government relief as media outlets scramble to keep covering the health crisis. [More]

Hey, as long as we're passing out the "gibs," will it just be for "real journalists" or do "just a bloggers" qualify?

Some Good News for a Change

European leaders warn coronavirus could lead to the breakup of their union [More]

They've been practically begging for a Caliphate anyway...

These are the Good Old Days

Germans snitch on neighbours flouting virus rules, in echo of the Stasi past [More]

So I take it that means Merkel hasn't been hanged yet...?

And remember, with "progressives," every day is Opposite Day.

For the Children

Mentoring the Next Generation - A strong and knowledgeable adult figure is essential in the proper upbringing of youth in modern times. [More]

Just like we used to until our prominent "influencers" decided ignorance is strength.

As the Mask Slips

U.S. coronavirus deaths top 1,000 in single day, White House expected to recommend everyone wear masks [More]

I'd love to.

But how?

Perhaps our friends in the People's Republic could turn this into a "win-win" by flooding the market with counterfeits?

Boy, if this was "due to guns," the MILMs would be having nonstop orgasms, no doubt their first in years not induced by cats.

UPDATE:

I rest my case.

As the Coat Turns

Trump Says Without Cheap Foreign Labor "We're Not Going to Have Farms" [More]

More betrayal of the base from the Professor Harold Hill of politics.

I'll take the price increase because, unlike now, I'll see what it is upfront and have a choice.

I am so tired of making excuses for a man who seems bound and determined to push me away.

So would I rather have Biden?  Of course not. I'd also rather not have an opportunist who, the first massacre after he wins a new term, will suddenly find "assault weapons" (and more) "negotiable" because he doesn't need us anymore.

Release the Kraken! Rigorous!
