We're the Only Ones Duocidal Enough
Edelweiss, Edelweiss, Bless My Homeland Forever
Austria is embarking on a dramatic public health experiment from Tuesday, with a controversial new law that makes Covid-19 vaccines mandatory for everyone ... Police will begin checking the vaccination status of people on the street and during traffic stops. [More]
Their most famous native son would approve.
Well, second most famous...
Leaving the American Sector
The Mayor’s plan includes “checkpoints” that are reminiscent of Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany in places where people enter the city. People and vehicles will be searched, and if firearms are found, they will be arrested. [More]
Balancing Out in the End
News of Sen. Ben Ray Luján’s (D-N.M.) stroke sent shockwaves through the Senate on Tuesday, underscoring the fragility of Democrats’ 50-50 majority. Democrats are in the majority because they have 50 seats and the ability for Vice President Harris to break a tie. Luján’s absence leaves them at 49 seats until he returns, with his office saying he’s expected to make a full recovery. [More]
Push comes to shove, the Democrat governor has that covered.

Add Another Grievance to the List
Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger called on officials to alter the mask mandate after California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other state political glitterati were pictured maskless with Laker legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson during the NFC Championship game. [More]
One more thing for the hive insects to attack her on:
But right wing Republican Kathryn Barger, who has a longstanding relationship to gun nuts wants to keep gun stores open. This makes no sense. Barger wants to strip the Sheriff’s of the power to close down the guns stores so her radical friends can stockpile more guns and ammo. Tell Kathryn Barger to focus on finding us more medical treatment and not more guns. We are all in this together and do NOT need more gun and ammunition sales in LA County.

Having More Than One Totalitarian Kinda Defeats the Whole Purpose
Death Star Defense
The political action committee aligned with Georgia’s gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams spent more than $1.2 million on private security in 2021 despite the founder’s push to defund the police in the past, according to a report. [More]
Why do law-and-order conservatives" always cite "defund the police," as if they are ever in a position to protect you when you need it?
The real issue is the way that Marxist walrus subverts our right to protect ourselves.

A Hill to Die On?
But why then does Secretary of State Antony Blinken continue to insist there is an “open door” for Ukraine to NATO membership — when that would require us to do what U.S. vital interests dictate we not do: fight a war with Russia for Ukraine? [More]
One question only you can answer: Is it worth what could mean sacrificing your life and the lives of your children?

Global Revenuers
Crucially, the strategy comprises a number of measures that would negatively affect the image and trade of alcohol, should they be implemented by WHO member countries, with the agency’s executive board calling for “accelerated action to reduce the harmful use of alcohol” – which appears to involve interventionist techniques to drop consumption across the board, as opposed to targeting problem drinkers.

Just like the prohibitionists try to do with guns.

Rendering Unto Caesar
Pope blesses tax collectors, says paying taxes is sign of ‘legality and justice’ ... Francis, speaking to a delegation from the Agenzia delle Entrate, Italy’s revenue agency, encouraged the tax collectors to keep working to redistribute wealth and help the poor. [More]

Speaking of Stinking Badges...
Frustrations ranged from the Covid-19 pandemic to immigration policy and at points devolved into open hostility, with one agent turning his back on the secretary and another questioning Mayorkas for wearing a jacket with the Border Patrol badge. [More]
And they didn't arrest him?
The Courtesy of a Reply is Requested

Received via email from a reader who has been trying for some time to get an answer from his representative and been consistently ignored. This is especially relevant in light of the letter from the defense attorney about magnetic locks and how someone would have had to open the Capitol doors from the inside.
Perhaps if one-on-one attempts to get an answer don't work it would help expedite matters to just ask him publicly.
UPDATE:
Like so...
Same Old Story
Judicial Watch now has filed an opposition to a claim from the U.S. Capitol Police department in which it argues that the videos – and related emails and other documents – "are not public records." [More]

And:
While it’s not clear if this is connected to the threats, Herold said Harris attempted to purchase a gun in November, but was denied due to a protection order out of California that prevented him from owning guns. [More]
Funny, how none of the stories seem to include a picture of the guy. They probably just couldn't find any.
