No Accountability?

Several members who had their faces covered told the publication that they were afraid of their identities being revealed for fear of harassment. [More]

Besides, Mom might find out.

To paraphrase Rhett Butler, they should be harassed, and often, and by someone who knows how.

Mutual Admiration Society

Democratic Sen. Patty Murray (Wash.) has both given money to and received money from Seattle mayor Ed Murray, a fellow Democrat (no relation) who announced his resignation on Tuesday after a fifth allegation of child sex abuse. [More]

Mr. Youth Opportunity Initiative...

The important thing to note is the mutual support happened years after state officials deemed Murray unfit to be a foster parent, and victims had notified authorities.

Meet more of his enablers who had to know.

Not that some consider that important.

Winging It

This is.

At Least @Twitter is Consistent

[More]

You know, ourselves and our posterity.

Genocide.

Right after the execution of Trump and his family Twitter provides a promotional platform for.

You'll Not See Nothing Like the Mighty Quinn

In her new "spiritual memoir" titled Finding Magic, veteran journalist Sally Quinn, founder of the website On Faith, describes her lifelong belief in the occult and worries that hexes she once put on three people may have worked. The widow of legendary Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, Quinn describes the current environment in Washington more toxic and poisonous than ever before, and the investigations surrounding President Trump as worse than Watergate. [More]

What, you mean like that other story WaPo either wouldn't touch or spent the time it did providing cover?

Jeez, with power to kill like that, you'd think she oughtta have a background check or something.

That occult lunatics like this have a prominent establishment voice sure does lead to some curious corroboration. Now if you'll excuse her, she has a dinner to prepare for.

Stewards of the Public Trust

A former administrative assistant to an Arkansas county official has pleaded guilty to fraudulent use of a credit card after prosecutors accused her of using public money to buy personal items, including a tuxedo for her pet pug. [More]

I've talked before about a previous incarnation, where one of my job functions was to obtain permits from city governments, and about the abusive nature of some petty bureuacrats who enjoy lording their "power" over others. The corruption in government starts small.

And ends up big.

Plus I need to find out if he'll remember us, the little people, now that he's famous.

Assuming most of you live outside the broadcast range of Anchorage's KBYR 700 AM, you can click here to select "Listen Live."

UPDATE: Apparently the feed was down. I'll post a link once the archive is up.

Went in skeptical but had to give it a try.

By Popular Demand

July 2017 NICS Continue on Path to Second Highest Year Ever for Gun Sales [More]

Yes, but most gun owners want more "commonsense safety laws," say the folks who can scarcely draw a few dozen people to a protest even when they provide the buses and lunch...

"The Chase" comes from Episode 10 of Season 6. Targeting a home in broad daylight and armed with a rifle, home invaders hold up a young couple, demanding their wallet and purse. The homeowner decides to pursue the thieves. [More]

O Say Can You See?

A monument to Francis Scott Key, the author of the Star Spangled Banner, was vandalized in Baltimore this week. Vandals spray painted words including “racist anthem” on the statue. [More]
