I Have a Bad Feeling About This

 Received via Email:

I guess CAIR saw my "afterword" if they're emailing me on this.

I'm anticipating media-savvy and articulate interrogators with professionally crafted talking points tag-teaming a lone truck driver with limited public debate experience. I'm also anticipating no amount of public apology will be enough.

UPDATE:
"I think it was a very open discussion. We got … a sense of each other," continued Durr, a trucker from Logan. "I think that's the real key to everything. As long as you know somebody, it's hard to hate somebody, don't you think?" [More]
I wonder if there is a recording or transcript that will be made public. It might give us an idea of what other kinds of reconsiderations an "open discussion" might give him "a sense of," like if he sat down with Shannon Watts...

Speaking of Domestic Terror Threats

Think students would donate money to the Taliban to kill Americans? [Watch]

I find it amazing that there is a place where he can ask random passersby that question without fear.

Figures Berkeley...

The Wrong Question

 What’s Wrong With George Will? [More]

What's right with him?

And why would anyone let the DSM define who is a "conservative"?

It's All a Blur

 I'd like to know more about the victim, just to see if hate may have played a part. [More]

Going the Extra Mile

 Gun control queen Shannon Watts was helping raise money for the aggressors in the #Rittenhouse case. As the facts came out during the trial, we know that even the prosecution made the case for self defense lol. Shannon helped raise money for the perps! [More]

 Gee whiz, Rikers is a shithole and its problems are outrageous, massive and, as Judge Lippman calls them, “morally unacceptable.” [More]

So this foreshadows what we can expect when totalitarians have total control?

At least he apologized and said he was wrong.

Unlike Petzal.

You, Our Valued Members

The NRA Thinks Of You As Hillbillies, Idiots, Fruitcakes And Nuts [More]

So they should have pushed 'shine Club instead of Wine Club? But keep sending money because we know how to be sophisticated with it!

Talk about a Lonesome Rhodes moment:

Somebody once on the inside must really want to bring them down. You'd better believe Wayne and Marion know who recorded them -- and for the time being, are stymied on outing him without upping their own risks by validating his claims through acknowledgment.

I wonder if it's the same one I heard a rumor about and if he's the one who turned state's evidence for Letitia in exchange for immunity. 

When You Least Expect It You're Injected...

 Houston Police say they are investigating reports that at least some of the deaths and injuries at the Astroworld incident on Friday may stem from drug injections. [More]

Hey, they wouldn't need to do this if whites weren't racists.

I see a lot of chicken counting going on lately, on taking back the Congress and White House, on Kyle Rittenhouse, on Bruen v. New York... 

I hope this doesn't mean false confidence will give people even more of an excuse to not do anything.

To the Moon, Alice!

Kamala Harris to NASA: Are you able to 'track trees' by race for 'environmental justice?' [More]

That ought to fit right in with their "equity mission"!

When I was young, noting the truly great advancements that had already been achieved, we had hopes for actualizing dreams like Space Station V, Moon Base Alpha, a Martian research station, and mining operations on various asteroids and gas giants' moons by now.  We might have been close if those tasked to work the issues were more concerned with the final frontier and less focused on "global wealth transfer scams" and flying George Takei out to make sure everyone is toeing the diversity line.

Instead, they can't even get back to where men from half a century ago had gone before, although somehow, that's not stopping the Chicoms from playing tortoise to our sleeping hare.

Bang! Zoom!

Yeah, but look at all the problems, the infrastructure bill, the national debt, the ...

OK, Greta.

But as we've seen, privatizing is going from the visionary to the doable. In order to take the next steps, we need to actualize another expectation that this country used to have while not realizing it was being given up/stolen daily: Freedom.

I suppose since people come here expecting some kind of tie-in with guns, longtimers will remember when I (singlehandedly, attracting no shortage of leftist ridicule) got the FAA to acknowledge the individual rights "interpretation" of the Second Amendment and change its commercial space transportation rule.

Border Patrol: 27 Percent of Migrants Arrested at Border Are Repeat Offenders, Many with Other Criminal Convictions [More]

Which means the same government that wants to disarm people like you and me have opened the floodgates for people like Wilber here.

What struck me was how many "news" accounts leave him being an illegal out of the information they think the public needs to know. Don't think of it as lies of omission, think of it as not wanting to offend them now that they're off the road and on the pathway.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."

Now in Lemon Scent!

Hice claimed in his suit that Lemon had put his hand down his own pants, rubbed his private parts and then shoved his fingers into Hice’s face. [More]

And he didn't instinctively elbow-smash him in the mouth? 

I Know You Are But What Am I?

Pfizer CEO says people who spread misinformation on Covid vaccines are ‘criminals’ [More]

"Misinformation" like "falsified data"?

With all the changing stories and suppression of anything not in narrative lockstep, how the hell is anyone supposed to know if what they're passing on is misinformation or not?

More to the point, how are the "scientists"...?

When It's Least Expected You're Elected

Someone Was Caught Taking Secret Video of Rittenhouse Jury Following Threat [More]

Who? Police know, why don't we? And tell me they don't know if the "sympathies" of the jury recorder lie with this thug

What's with the claim they don't know if he was in the courthouse or not? They don't have security cameras in and around the place to not only show that but also who he may have been talking with? They had no problem ID'ing the 1/6ers.
