And on another note: we need to re-establish those psychiatric hospitals that were so beneficently closed after the Hollywood version of Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest hit the screen.
Ricardo Munoz brandishing a long knife just prior to being fatally shot
Munoz had been out on bond, awaiting trial for allegations he stabbed four people last year, including a teenage boy who was stabbed in the face.
His sister said Munoz was mentally ill - diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia - and hadn't been taking his medications.
Because pretending that crazy people have the ability to grasp their rights and responsibilities is, well, insane.
Because taking a perfectly good city and turning it into a disease and drug ridden third world S-hole of homeless lunatics isn’t exactly the definition of progress.
I love it when Joey comes out of his basement. Especially when it’s to stand at a podium in front of a field,
to read a speech from a teleprompter to 3 masked-up, socially distanced journOlists
along with a local pest or two
What is that? A stinkbug? Some exotic cockroach? A drone?
and enough Secret Service agents to outnumber the other sycophants.
They’re also masked up because the Democrats need you to remain scared…and submissive.
The reason for Joe’s prepared remarks yesterday was to accuse President Trump of starting the wildfires on the West Coast, creating hurricanes in the Atlantic, allowing the COVID-19 pandemic into the country thus causing the resultant economic collapse, and encouraging the “emboldened white supremacy” he’s certain is out there. He covered a lot of ground in a very few minutes; impressive for an old man of little brain.
For that reason I recognize him today as a man outstanding in his field: an honor he has earned time and time again.
Note to all of our friends in Sally’s path: prayers for your safety and please move to high ground.
When I got up early Saturday morning the waning moon was low in the eastern sky with Venus close by. The crescent glowed like an incandescent lightbulb, warm and luminous, while Venus shone like a bright LED beacon. I decided it would be a good weekend to take a break from the news.
Not quite right, but you take my point
And indeed it was, the weather was perfect in the way that only late summer weather can be, more so as we sense how fleeting such days are now. The early morning air was deceptive and could have passed itself off as an early summer day, slightly cool, damp but promising of warmth to follow. It still carried the scent of summer too, a fragrant waft of summer’s last blooms. The only thing that gave it away was its whisper: it sounded more like the rustling of crinkly cellophane than the supple, silky flexibility of green foliage. Or perhaps that was just me.
In any event I enjoyed the weekend moratorium and woke this morning to the news: hurricanes barreling towards the Gulf Coast, another police ambush, wildfires burning out of control, riots in U.S. cities…why, it’s like I never left. Is it Groundhog day, week? Stretching now into months.
I thought this was supposed to be the year of the Black Swan.
What do you suppose the odds are of having a Groundhog event concurrently with a Black Swan event? By accident I mean?
I know, slim, right?
Oh well, at least I’ve found the perfect face mask to wear in this, the year of the groundhog black swan event:
It’s Sunday. Many people seek a respite from the world’s insanity by going to church to hear an uplifting message of hope and salvation. If, however, you came home feeling more alienated than heartened and inspired by the message from the pulpit this might explain why:
…shocking levels of infiltration and manipulation by communists of the Religious Left, particularly the mainline Protestant denominations. They had alarming, tragic success duping the religious Left. That came especially through appeals to “social justice,” to peace, to opposing war, to opposing fascism.
The two most successful communist front-groups in hoodwinking liberal Christians were the American League Against War and Fascism and the American Peace Mobilization. Note the brilliant sloganeering here: Who, after all, could oppose a “peace mobilization?” Who, after all, could oppose an organization that’s against war and fascism?
They are very wily, the Left. And Senator McCarthy was right.
Although it’s not just Hollywood by any means, they were just the simplest target. Eventually McCarthy was discredited, then disgraced and finally
The result: over half a century for the menace of Marxism/communism/socialism’s flawed ideology to metastasize unabated in other quarters: Big Media, Big Government, Big Education. Now they’ve finally come for religion. Don’t let your church get sucked into the mendacity of Social Justice Warriorism.
To name her organization Black Lives Matter is absolutely brilliant. And with the way that leftists aggressively weaponize their rhetoric, they frame anyone against the organization, Black Lives Matter, as being against the goal of black lives mattering.
It is seductive and preys upon the good will of Christians - and Jews. Don’t let them.
Even if you are an atheist. Sophistry is not a principle this country was founded on.
I’m so old I remember when this sort of thing would have been considered obstruction of justice:
“It appears that Special Counsel Mueller’s team may have deleted federal records that could be key to better understanding their decision-making process as they pursued their investigation and wrote their report. Indeed, many officials apparently deleted the records after the DOJ Inspector General began his inquiry into how the Department mishandled Crossfire Hurricane.”
Now days that charge is only used to impeach Republican presidents.
I guess “wiping” electronic devices is just another manifestation of white liberal privilege.
“Wipe my server?”
“What, with a cloth or something?”
P.S. One of the phones wiped in the Mueller probe was that of Andrew Weismann, the lead prosecutor on the team. Apparently he “accidentally” wiped his phone…twice, thus ensuring the data was lost. Mr. Weismann you may recall, was also the lead prosecutor in the Enron and related Arthur Anderson cases, He was accused of prosecutorial misconduct in the Enron case and prosecutorial overreach in the Arthur Anderson case. He was later rebuked by the Supreme Court in the AA case where the appeal resulted in an overturned ruling by a unanimous 9-0 decision. Too late to save the careers and livelihoods of the firm’s 85,000 employees. They were collateral damage, but for Weismann it remained another notch in his belt.
Now works on cell phones too!
Get some for all of your devices today so you too can wipe away all those calls, emails and texts that Big Tech hasn’t already taken care of for you that might call into question your true motives. Clear the way for your renewed virtue signaling with a vengeance.

How quickly the country forgots the importance of first responders who run towards disaster
We said we’d never forget but not only have people forgotten, they’re rewriting the script; now the only thing people are unwilling to forget is how racist our slave owning founders were. Children not yet born on 9-1-2001 won’t learn in school of the evil and hate in the hearts of our sworn foreign enemies as such talk is deemed racist and Islamophobic. Nor will they be taught about our domestic enemies as all that matters now is Black Lives Mattering. So they will learn that white silence is consent and if you chose not to comply with their lie you are a racist enjoying your white privilege and keeping systemic racism alive and well. Shame!
EVEN FURTHER AFTER…
This year the iconic twin towers of blue light commemorating the event and memorializing the victims will not be on display – because COOTIES! Too dangerous for the workers. Not too dangerous for the crew that painted the giant BLACK LIVES MATTER street mural in front of Trump Tower a few weeks back though. Because memorializing a Marxist organization that hates America is currently more important than remembering the victims of a terrorist attack by other people who also hate America.
Everything changed that day and unfortunately many people still don’t seem to get it so they don’t even know what to remember. But we will never forget.
Look at all these racist police chiefs; shocking! Abolish the racist pigs!
And so the demands to defund police continue, only one problem: real “folks” are having none of it – not even Al Sharpton (“Latte Liberals” want to defund NYPD, “but people living on the ground need proper policing”). The only people going along with the shuck and jive of the BLM these days are the usual suspects: the useful idiots conditioned by years of public school indoctrination. They parrot whatever they’re told and honestly believe that social workers are better at violent conflict resolution than armed police. No wonder the chiefs are resigning: how can you even respond to such idiocy?
Now it should be noted that the people behind all this mayhem, the BLM and ANTIFA organizers and leaders, don’t really want to get rid of all police just…these police. What the peeps behind this nefarious fraud want is Obama’s police force, you know, “the civilian national security force” that will help us achieve the “national security objectives we’ve set,” whatever the hell those are.
Obama first floated that trial balloon in Denver on July 2, 2008. But he got out a little too far ahead of his handlers’ narrative and had to walk it back immediately by ‘splainin that he was referring to a “volunteer network like the Peace Corp.” Right.
That’s exactly what this sounds like:
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
And don’t think he gave up on the idea. On March 2, 2015 Obama unveiled his National Law Enforcement plan following the outrage machine’s orchestrated riots in Ferguson, MO and Staten Island, NY in 2014.
By all means, let’s get more ‘academics’ involved in policing
Obama also instructed his media allies to help federalize policing, and to sideline the critics of centralized policing rules. “I expect our friends in the media to really focus on what’s in this report and pay attention to it,” he instructed. – Daily Caller
What a shame; the media were quite prepared to do their part but Hillary, who was expected to implement this federal police force, lost….unexpectedly. Along with a host of other plans and policies to complete the transformation of America, federal police had to be put on hold. If only she had beat Trump; we wouldn’t have to endure this hellish summer. We’d already have that well trained, fully funded federal police force that could take over policing us in an even-handed, non-racist, non-biased manner.
Just like all every national police force ever assembled has.
This isn’t going to sit well with the ‘Obama Is Our Savior and Trump Is The Devil’ club:
President Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for helping broker a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, according to a report. – NY Post
He was nominated, as the left-wing British rag the Independent points out, by “Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a right-wing member of the Norwegian parliament.” I’ll bet the Independent failed to mention the political affiliation of the member of the Norwegian parliament who nominated our former president for that honor back in 2009. The Great Reader who was nominated before he did anything and had been in office, as President Trump likes to point out, “for about 15 minutes.”
And while Obama did in fact win the Nobel Peace Prize during his first year in office, let the record reflect that he was more interventionist than George W. Bush. He waged serial military campaigns from Somalia and Yemen to Iraq and Syria and still failed to wipe out ISIS. And lest anyone forget, the holder of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize also initiated multiple “targeted killing” drone strikes.
Let’s be clear: in an increasingly superficial world it was Obama’s ability to read from a telepromptor (TOTUS) that earned him the Nobel Peace Prize as well as his reputation as an awesome orator. People tend to forget that there is a world of difference between talk and action, and between being a great orator and a great leader. Obama mastered the requirements of orator and play-acted his way through leadership. He could have been a great actor had he not aspired to a much more important type of celebrity – although his primary job skill remained the ability to read other people’s words effectively.
Reading was indeed Obama’s superpower: not reason or work ethic, but reading. It sure wasn’t his writing ability, as Jack Cashill delightfully pointed out at AT years ago:
“Obama was prompted to write by an earlier letter from a Mr. Jim Chen that criticized Harvard Law Review's affirmative action policies. Specifically, Chen had argued that affirmative action stigmatized its presumed beneficiaries.
The response is classic Obama: patronizing, dishonest, syntactically muddled, and grammatically challenged. In the very first sentence Obama leads with his signature failing, one on full display in his earlier published work: his inability to make subject and predicate agree.
"Since the merits of the Law Review's selection policy has been the subject of commentary for the last three issues," wrote Obama, "I'd like to take the time to clarify exactly how our selection process works."
…Were there such a thing as a literary Darwin Award, Obama could have won it on this one sentence alone. He had vindicated Chen in his first ten words.”
And so it came to pass that the man who was overpraised his entire life received an unearned Nobel Prize.
Should a miracle happen and the Nobel committee actually award this year’s Peace Prize to President Trump you can be assured that Obama will be the first to criticize its bestowal on a man unworthy of the honor. That’s the way the script is written.
I’ll go with reality; and a real star.
Trump to Obama, 2020: “Anything you can do I can do better…”
