Firebombing Attorney Gets a Light Sentence

Guess who asked the US District Court to go easy, the US Department of Justice.

NYC: Leftist Muslim lawyer who firebombed police car gets light sentence after Biden regime intervenes on her behalf

And little surprise, the DOJ refuses to comment. 

If the same person, had firebombed a police car at the Capitol on January 6, 2020, that person would be locked away in a dungeon of Guantánamo, without benefit of consul. 

Have said before, I am so pleased the Garland was blocked from the Supreme Court.

The inequity of the manner which Democrats are protected, compared to the persecution of conservatives is alarming.

Maybe there is not justice to be had.

ABBOTT: 'I Invoked the Invasion Clauses of the U.S. & Texas Constitutions'

Get ready for the Secretary of Homeland Security to take more action, than has been done in the last two years. Too bad the effort will be against the interest of our country’s citizens. That bald headed little bastard needs to be bounced from government.

ABBOTT DECLARES INVASION: 'I Invoked the Invasion Clauses of the U.S. & Texas Constitutions'

Loss

 The price for love is loss. This year I’ve lost four important people in my life.

My aunt Janet, my mother’s older sister, who was always beautiful, always kind.

My aunt Marie, my father’s older sister, who also was very kind to me, the last person on that side of my family who could explain why things are, or were.

Roy, a coworker, fellow engineer, man of great intellect, insight and humor. The man who garnered the level of respect that I’ve sought.

Gordia, a work acquaintance for nearly 40 years, who without effort, always made me smile. 

Loved you all.

All's Fair in Love, War and Politics

If you have the correct belief set.

A racist gets a pass, the mayor is unhappy about it, but not so much that the man will be dismissed.

Cleveland: Muslim cop who tweeted 'Let me salute Hitler the great' and 'scumbag Jews' keeps his job

The decision continue employment is not wrong. People should not loose employment for expressing their beliefs, so long as the job is being performed without evidence of such.  That said, he should not have been hired, a thorough search of social media might have uncovered the expression. The failure is on the police administration. If it was uncovered and ignored for pressure to socially hire, the policy should be revamped and the administrators responsible studied closely and considered for dismissal for what amounts to tampering with the hiring process. If that is what has happened.

Islamophobia Bill Is a Trojan Horse

The House of Representatives already passed this piece of crap.

Like most legislation, the intent is obscure.

Hamas-linked CAIR tries to revive Ilhan Omar's 'Islamophobia' bill

Regardless, legislation that impedes free speech, as long as free from inciting violence, is unconstitutional.

Do whatever you want Pelosi, it’s all racist bullshit anyway.

The bill won’t stop the speech, it’ll only tee up some poor bastard that a Congressional committee wants to make an example of.

Texas Man Sentenced for Jihad Plot Against Trump Tower

I am pleased that the man is incarcerated. Being a 2nd Amendment advocate, I have a keen interest in "red flag" sections of the proposed federal gun control legislation. Since the 1980's when the focus of mental care shifted from traditional to external care, compounded with the evolution of patient rights, the government's ability to protect the public from mentally ill citizens has been ineffective.

I think that red flag laws are a reasonable notion as long as they address all forms of potential violence, include speedy due process for the accused and punishment for the abusers, whether they be private citizens or government apparatchiks. 

Tell Me Again About White Supremacy: Texas Man Sentenced for Jihad Plot Against Trump Tower

All that said, if people do not cross the law, tragedies will not be averted.

That would include.

• Vehicular homicide.
• Homicide by explosive device.
• Homicide by stabbing or cutting.
• Homicide by firearm.

Loyalty to Iran

The knife only cuts one way.

Oberlin College prof professed loyalty to Iran, boasted of 'opportunity to introduce Islamic teachings' to students

Imagine if a Christian was accused of such a crime. Not a realistic supposition, because, in Iran the Christion would be the one in the grave. If the professor was a Christian, his presence would be protested until the foolish school administration would eject person of Christian faith. 

doubt.   

Huh'

I suppose it takes big balls like a brass Buddha to make such a claim.

Germany: Leftist politician claims 'anti-Semitism threatens Muslims in particular'

Impressive fucks aren’t they.

Can a Religion of Peace Also Condone Slavery?

I don't think so.

Virginia: Muslim family convicted of holding woman as slave

Found myself thinking the other day, about modern media euphemisms, such as the characterization of women and children being held as sex slaves described as victims of human trafficking. As if they were being driven around to places they did not want to go.

Reich-stag

Alan Dershowitz is correct, the left would be cheering to the heavens of George Soros has purchased Twitter.

The Hypocrisy in Condemning Musk's Purchase of Twitter

It seems plainly apparent that the left advocates for the restriction of free speech.

By the way, Robert Reich is a duplicitous bastard.  The former Secretary of Labor has not engaged in an argument of the last twenty years, in which he hasn't made statements of "Reich-fact" supporting both sides of an argument, each time conveniently supporting the needs of his political party. 

Oh, Reich is from Scranton, just like our President.

U.S. Should Arm Taiwan to the Hilt

Deterring China: U.S. Should Arm Taiwan to the Hilt – Now

Whether or not China plans to invade Taiwan now, it is time for the United States to ditch decades of misguided policy. Among other things, Washington should, on an emergency basis, begin arming the island with the weapons it urgently needs.

Agreed, the United States should.be making an effort to project strength in the Pacific. Failure to do invites Chinese hegemony, even imperial colonialism. Alas, the current executive has forgone Ukraine, shown weakness toward North Korea, boldness is not in their toolbox.

Support of Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and many more allies is important for both economic and military defense. 

I fear that our President’s group follows the age old State Department practice of appeasement. This form of diplomacy is, effectively, a series retreats with no planned outcome for the benefit of the United States.

Be Kind

 This letter was forwarded to me by someone special....

My Torah portion is Re’eh, the Hebrew word for “see.” In this Torah reading Moses gathers the Israelites and declares: “Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse.”

 Moshe then goes on to instruct the Children of Israel in the plains of Moab, for this is where they waited before entering the Promised Land. As you know from today’s reading there are specific commandments to obey. The Children of Israel were told to destroy all idols of the land they would inhabit, they were told the laws of Kashrut to follow in their new land, and they were given specific guidelines for other commandments as well.

If the Children of Israel followed the laws, it would be a blessing; likewise, if they did not follow the laws, it would be a curse.

How can something be a blessing and a curse?

This phrase confused me for a while until I realized its significance to my own life. I was just three years old when I lost my dad. I was too young at the time to grasp the intensity of what happened, but the more I grew and matured, I internalized more and more the devastation of the loss of my father. This was a curse. I lived each day in sadness, wishing he could come back.

The essence of the phrase; “It is a blessing and a curse” suggests that man has free will; he has the ability to choose his path through life. I can relate to that because I had to make a choice; Should I stay angry for the rest of my life and take what happened as a curse? Would it be possible for me to accept that he is not here anymore and try to see a blessing from the curse?

Here is where you all come in. I am sure most of you read that story that went around the internet about a young autistic boy named Jack who would watch some of his schoolmates playing baseball every week. One day one of the teams was short a player. Desperate to finish the game, the captain looked up, saw Jack, and asked him to play. Jack hurried in and played in the outfield until the 9th inning. When his side was up, the teams were tied with two outs. It was Jack’s turn to bat.

The rules of the game suddenly and magically changed. The pitcher, previously intent on winning this game, purposely threw a slow, underhanded pitch right down the middle. Jack swung and hit the ball to third base.

As Jack ran to first base, the third basemen overthrew the ball past the first baseman’s head.

“Run to second!” cheered his team.

Jack ran, and as he was coming home, the first baseman threw the ball to the pitcher…who intentionally missed the ball. Jack won the game for the team and both sides went wild.

Jack had a special community around him, all intent on performing mitzvot for him. Their eyes were open, " Re’eh… they could see.

I, too, have a special community all around me.  I have all of my friends and family and people who I don’t even know who, like Jack’s teammates, are intent on keeping me in the game. And so, I do understand how something can be a blessing and a curse.

I know my dad can see me today and every day, "Re’eh", and I know how touched he would be by the mitzvot you have unselfishly done for me. Thank you.

Everyone gets the opportunity every day to make something a blessing or a curse. If you ate one or two of the Sunkist jellies, that was likely a blessing. But if you ate more than you can count, it’ll definitely be a curse.

I leave you with this challenge: When life presents you with something that could be a blessing or a curse, try your hardest to make it a blessing. Keep your eyes open…."Re’eh"! 

I try to do this, my shortcoming in the ability to recognize persons in need of a mitzvot. 

Reminds Me of Midnight Oil

Don’t play with matches.

Iran: Man set on fire by the burning Israeli flag he was holding

Ossoff on Immigration

 I participate with NumbersUSA and have been known to send a few emails and faxes to my representative in Congress. As one would suspect the messages are generally pointing out perceived flaw with the course of government action.

Such is the case with John Ossoff, one of Georgia's relatively new Senators. Elected by a narrow margin that to me is suspect given that illegal vote harvesting, and outright ballot box stuffing has been proved with video evidence to have occurred during the last Georgia election.

Attached image is a screen shot of an email received in response to one of my assertions. He tells how is is the child of an immigrant, and that his great grandparents came through Ellis Island. Then is travels into the illogical connection to the position that person having entered the country illegally should have a pathway to citizenship. 

He seems to miss the the fact that is relatives entered the country legally.

It boils down to what he wants, there is no logical reason I can imagine, other than it is the position that the Democrats have taken, ignoring that MOST Georgians are against pathway to citizenship.

If aliens are given a pathway to citizenship, they will have been rewarded for breaking a law of the sovereign nation they invaded. Illegal immigrants don't deserve shit. They came north for wages and that is exactly what they have received. 

A result of the invasion has been the depression of wages for low income citizens which in turn fuels intransigent poverty. Other impacts include depression of home values in regions where aliens collect. Don't try to tell me that is not true, I live in one of these regions.

From the start this little howdy-do has weasel written all over him. 

Free Speech in the UK?

Free Speech in the UK?: 

'It isn't hate to speak the truth.' — J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, Twitter, June 6, 2020. 

'An entire generation are puzzled by the idea that anyone has the right to say things they don't agree with”

and 

“Freedom of speech is doing extremely poorly in the UK, according to a recent YouGov poll. When Britons were asked what should be the priority, 43% said protecting people from offensive or hateful speech should be the priority, while only 38% said the focus should be on protecting free speech. Generally, men and conservative voters were more concerned about protecting free speech, while women, younger people and Labour voters were more concerned about blocking offensive or hateful speech.”

For my first thirty years, I was really bad at self censorship. Saying the wrong thing was a talent that cost me, in part, a marriage. In families, and in greater society, people are taught, by way of reward and punishment to watch what they say. This was and is done to teach people how to function in civil society. Today self censorship is encouraged and impugned upon people who make innocent remarks, or assert opinions not contrary leftist dogma. 

It has been going on for some time. Here in the states, I first noticed when post presidential candidate Al Gore, went on his personal hypocrisy parade for global warning, saying things like  “the science is over”. An absurd statement in any scientific discussion. Stupid as it was, it has been repeated thousands of times in the last 20 years.

When it comes to politics, it has always been polite to avoid conflict in friendly situations. Our modern ways permit people reveal opinions and judgements in ways that feel impervious to reprisals. Free of repercussions, people can be nasty.

In the end, consume as much information as possible, don’t purposefully hurt people, and fuck the noise

Jevver

Did you ever.

In context:

"Jevver hear anything so dumb in your life?"

Big Red Bus

I first saw Herschel in 1980, having nearly front row seat, as he scored right in front of me.

Now Herschel is a candidate for governor of Georgia.

I just might vote for him, it’ll surely be a fun primary to watch.

Hope his son Christian campaigns, he’s an interesting, and entertaining young man.

After all that, To Hell with Georgia.

Idinit

 Term used by genteel southerners who wish to avoid saying "Ain't". 

To put in context.

"Mighty hot today, idinit?"

Supreme Limitations

Love the new  Alan M. Dershowitz column:

Can the President Constitutionally Restrict His Nomination to a Black Woman?: 

Supporters of President Biden's announcement will argue that there is a big difference between prohibiting a person from serving based on religion, race or gender, and affirmatively giving preference based on these criteria. That is sophistry. 

Over the last two centuries Presidents have selected Supreme Court members for many personal and selfish reasons. Earl Warren was seated on the court to handcuff political ambitions that rivaled the nominator in chief. President Biden can lawfully select a black woman for the Supreme Court if he wishes. 

The illogic with preordaining any parameter for selection of a justice is that it limits narrows the candidate pool. Top people should be selected because that is what the people deserve.

My only complaint is that Stacy Abrams sister is being considered. This the same judge that was involved in backdoor evisceration of Georgia election laws, leading to the state of Georgia illegitimately being awarded candidate Biden. She's racist and she cheats.  

Beyond that, have it knucklehead, you can fuck up just like so many other Presidents.
