Notes from the Resistance...
Mayorkas says not all 1.2M illegal immigrants with final removal orders should be deported [More]
Note no one pressed him on how many he thinks should be?
The loud and clear message: Government intends to do nothing but make matters worse -- they won't fix it and won't let you. In fact, they're counting on it.
And being against that makes you "anti-government," not to mention a racist.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue"!

Votes to count even if they are mailed in on napkins in Washington state [More]
If the medium is the message, I can think of all kinds of things to use that would express my sentiment.

Police noted that first aid was administered to the suspect by the homeowners after he was shot. [More]
Sorry, but the conduct of some people who don't practice safe anything invites social distancing. And the potential for being sued adds a "What's a human life worth?" factor into the equation.
I'm more of a "You don't attack me and mine and this problem will never come up" kind'a guy...
As outsiders, those without privilege see that real wokeness is racist, segregationist, careerist, and narcissistic—the guilty accusing the innocent of their own perceived guilt. [More]
With "progressives," every day is Opposite Day. Remember that and they can't confound you.

Fauci admits he was upset when Trump put individual rights over ‘societal safety’ during pandemic [More]
He should be wearing a Mao jacket instead of a turtleneck and sports coat.

Enjoy the temporary respite, fellas. The "massive growth" talked about here neglects to mention a major factor even The New York Times recognized and crowed about a few years back:
“Guns, that is the most pressing issue for me,” said Vijay Katkuri, 38, a software engineer from southern India, explaining why he voted for a Democratic challenger in Tuesday’s elections... Mr. Katkuri’s vote — the first of his life — helped flip a longtime Republican State Senate district and deliver the Virginia statehouse to the Democratic Party for the first time in a generation... Once the heart of the confederacy, Virginia is now the land of Indian grocery stores, Korean churches and Diwali festivals... One in 10 people eligible to vote in the state were born outside the United States, up from one in 28 in 1990.
As long as "gun rights leaders" are afraid to say one word about the greatest threat, the long game will catch up with their followers -- and by then it will be too late, at least to contest things legislatively or through the courts.

CDC: Global Measles Outbreaks Possible after 22M Missed Vaccinations Due To COVID Restrictions [More]
Can we let them come here and reintroduce another disease we had previously eliminated?
No worries though, per Politifuct. They're redirecting attention to the technical difference between "eliminated" and "eradicated," and actual consequences be damned!
Tangentially-related UPDATE: Looks like they're also wrong on Rittenhouse.

Chinese Dissident Ai Weiwei Warns Americans: ‘You’re Already In The Authoritarian State. You Just Don’t Know It’ [More]
Some of us do.
So they call us "terrorists."

Ex-con who once tried to kill NYPD cop is freed without bail after another alleged attack on officer [More]
But if there were, I'm sure some would complain about disproportionality...

Rittenhouse Prosecutor Thomas Binger’s Closing Argument: “You Lose the Right to Self-Defense When You’re the One Who Brought the Gun” [More]
And that goes for all of you who carry.
Every once in a while they let slip who they are and what they're about, don't they?

Cori Bush claims there were “white supremacists” who were shooting at protesters from a hill in Ferguson during the months of their destructive and costly protests. It’s true that shots were fired during the Ferguson protests from a hill but what Cori Bush failed to mention was that the shots were fired AT THE POLICE — NOT the protesters. [More]
And if mob members believe and act on that lie, will she face charges?
It's curious that not one politician or media person of significant national influence can or will explain why any community that would vote for Cori Bush is dooming itself, and that no amount of plunder thrown at it will fix things.

Former St. Louis Police Office Dustin Boone will be sentenced next week after he was convicted of beating an undercover colleague. The Post-Dispatch reported Boone’s lawyers will ask the judge for a 26-month prison sentence rather than the ten years prosecutors are seeking. [More]
The plainclothes guy is lucky Boone wasn't playing by Garry McCarthy Rules.
I wonder if you or I would have a shot at an almost eight-year sentence reduction if we beat an undercover cop...?

Car break-ins up 10% in St. Louis County, police say [More]
And people are looking to government for help?
Who do they think is out there agitating that, among other things, putting people away for property crimes is disproportionate and systemically racist?

A fraternity gets to decide who becomes a member and what the rules are. Liberty and freedom means not having to join a fraternity. Jim can think whatever he wishes about hunting with modern sporting rifles. I couldn’t care less. What he cannot do is tell law enforcement to tell me I’m under arrest. [More]
He brought it on himself and I don't feel sorry for him, but now that he's worn the hair shirt and scourged himself I don't care if they want to make him King of the Fudds. It's the ones who don't seek redemption I'd like to see held to account for it.
COVID BREAKTHROUGH: Scientists Discover Antibody That Can Stop COVID Infection Before It Starts And Undo All Variants [More]This has to be science fiction. There's not a word about it on CNN or MSNBC.
CDC admits it has no record of unvaxxed individual with COVID natural immunity spreading virus.
Biden’s spending bill drops key child tax credit requirement that could pay out billions to illegal immigrants - Build Back Better Child Tax Credit will eliminate the need for a Social Security number [More]
Ask a stupid Republican who voted for the bill why they didn't object, alert their constituents, and consider that a show-stopper.
Hell, just ask them to provide documented proof they even read and knew about it.
