Biden: I Knew ‘Nothing’ of Plot to Take Down Flynn, Forgets He Was Part of Secret Meeting [More]

My guess is he probably really did forget. And he was probably oblivious while it was going on.

My guess is he really is that big of a dolt, albeit, yeah, sure, a lying one as well.

The Rock or the Hard Place?

Or perhaps, since I tend to think instead of emote, I look at a very bad situation, realize the choices are death and somewhat less death, maybe, and think that the “less death, maybe” is on the side of not destroying the economy. [More]

I vote for shelves full of pork chops.

A Timeless 'Progressive' Idea

“The mayor says you Jews are the reason we’re getting sick.” [More]

It's what national socialists do.

Too bad the ADL is the last group Jews should be listening to:

Jonathan Greenblatt — head of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) — responded to the mayor by telling him that “generalizing against the whole population is outrageous especially when so many are scapegoating Jews.”

Tell me about it, hypocrite.

The No-Win Scenario

If you believed that your property was at risk of being stolen or damaged by intruders, it would not be unreasonable to call the police when you saw suspicious activity in the neighborhood. Does that explain why Gregory McMichael and his son thought it would be a good idea to grab their guns and set off in pursuit of Arbery? No, except that there apparently was concern about crime in the neighborhood and — just speculating here — maybe the senior McMichael, an ex-cop, was feeling ornery that Sunday afternoon. [More]

That to me is the crux of all this and the reason I have not discussed the story beyond that point despite numerous link submissions over the past few days.

That said, I'm not sure sending instant obedience-demanding groundhog assassins after him would have had a different outcome.

And that said, it's pretty obvious what the race hustlers are trying to turn this into:

The Shape of Things to Come?

A coronavirus patient was arrested Thursday after prosecutors said he jumped a fence and fled the Nashville Fairgrounds, where health officials are using enforceable quarantines in an attempt to control an outbreak at an emergency homeless shelter. [More]

Life imitates art:

What happens if this becomes more widespread? Talk about separating families...

If ordered to camp, do you think they'll let you bring a gun? How will they identify you to keep track and ensure the entire general population is "sheltered in place"? What happens if you try to leave in terms of authorizations to employ a full continuum of force, from "30 days in the cooler" to floodlights, dogs, and machinegun towers? If food shortages happen, will the guards get priority?

No matter-- "it" could never happen here.

Right?
