Sounds Like the Provocateurs Have Been Working Overtime

IAA has been made aware and verified information that a group known as the Boogaloo Bois is in the city tagging buildings with hearts. These hearts mark buildings for arson by the group. [More]
I have been forwarded an email by an apartment resident in the affected area from the management company passing on identical information to their tenants.

This sounds like the kind of sick race war-starting fantasy only the lowest of low-hanging fruit could be tricked into incriminating himself over to produce "heroic bust" headlines.  That is, assuming the whole thing isn't a set-up by either the commies or by those who would politically benefit from a false flag.

The thing is, we now know about it before anything has happened. If anything does, "authoritah" won't be able to credibly explain how they allowed it to happen.

Who Will Guard the Guards?

'Silence is Violence'

That's a sign I saw being carried by one of the outrage-signaling, truly "white-privileged" Hudson kids occupying the corners of the main intersection in town. So now "no speech is hate speech"?

As with all things "progressive," toleration means full-throated embrace and denouncing/destroying anyone who is not of the body.

That and Captain Courageous led me to speculate:
I'm waiting for the phenomenon of "kneeing" to grow, where it is demanded of citizens based on their race and refusal to do so results in "just desserts" for "haters."
It seems I'm not alone:

I'm sure the phrase "I kneel for no man" would result in the rage-filled condemnation and screams for "racist" heads.

Watts’ Attack on Sheriff’s Home Defense Advice Ignores Biden’s Ignorance Approach


But when a sheriff suggests people being attacked take appropriate measures to defend themselves and their homes, that makes him, at least according to some of Shannon’s Twitter followers, “a lot of fun at klan parties…” [and] “a White Privileged Extremist”… [More]
The grabbers have programed the useful idiots to believe self-defense is selfish and racist, and if you believe you have a right to protect yourself and your home, so are you. Meanwhile, the opportunistic dolt who advises to blindly open fire gets not just a pass but gushing praise.

Gone Fishin'



Sorry, but meatspace demands mean that's it for blogging here today. I'll do Mark's show and possibly do one more promo post if AmmoLand publishes my latest, otherwise, that's all I expect to do here 'til Monday.

Sorry for all those news tips I won't able to get to.  Please hold any more and go light on comments, which I'll try to get to as I can.

ZOMG A RIGHTWING RACIST HATER EXTREMIST!!!!!



I see the influencers are absolutely clueless about what those symbols really stand for. 

But if the "real reporters" had to do research on their own instead of parroting agenda points, that would complicate bearing false witness and spreading false meaning after SPLC spent so much effort putting coming up with a smear program.

Stop the Hate

White people of privilege wouldn't be quite so tolerated a few miles north.

Hudson is an old abolitionist town. I live a short walk away from John Brown's old tannery farm, a street is named after his father, and much of the family is interred in a local boneyard. Locals take great pride in telling stories about townspeople taking slave catchers prisoner and putting them on trial, and even though much of the town is still moderately moderate Republican, they place great stock in being regarded as "progressively" tolerant.  There's probably nothing that would horrify them more than being accused of racism, which makes me find humor in the one unsatisfactory grade their public schools got from the state, where they excelled at everything but "diversity." (I posted on this a few years back and have to go back when I have more time to see if I can find that link.)

Meanwhile, I got a call from my kid brother the other day, concerned because he was on the road and had heard rumblings of looting at the local mall, not all that far from his house. He wanted to know if my feelers had picked up anything.  Turns out it was just a jewelry store smash and grab, that is, just a bit of "symbolic taking" by justice-demanding people we are told are incapable of racism.

An Unauthorized Journalist

In explaining the ban, Pritzker said Jacobson had forfeited her status as a reporter by “taking an extreme position,” adding: “It’s not the way you act, it’s not the way your colleagues in the media act who are reporters. That is not a reporter. She represents a talk show that has a particular point of view. We allowed her to ask questions because once upon a time she was a reporter. But she proved that she is no longer a reporter.” [More]
