Useless Boondoggle
The city of Chicago spent $49 on Shotspotter, costing the city a quarter of a million bucks for each Shotspotter arrest, with the system missing 99% of the shots fired. Even when the system DOES work, it takes Chicago PD more than half an hour to respond to one of their own being shot and killed.
In a city where it takes cops a half an hour to respond to a cop being shot, how long will you have to wait when you call them to report the killer breaking into your home?
Answer: The rest of your life.

Boom
Just heard what sounded like a loud, double sonic boom. Went online, and it turns out to be a reentering spacecraft.
The Collapse
States Ignoring SCOTUS
The Hawaii Supreme Court has ruled that SCOTUS was wrong in the decisions in Bruen and in Heller. For that reason, they have ruled that a man can be prosecuted for rights protected by the Constitution, and have reinstated his case.
I am not interested in litigating the case here. I am interested in pointing out that the states are increasingly ignoring the decisions of the Federal courts. This can only end in one place- the complete collapse of the system of government of the US.
Me
Still Busy
I got the floors looking as well as they can be, cleaned up all of the mess left by the tenants, repaired the holes in the walls, replaced the burned out light bulbs, and replaced the screens on the lanai. I remulched the flower beds and trimmed the trees. I took yesterday off because I have COVID for the third time, and decided to spend the day napping on the couch in a fog of Nyquil induced sleep.
Today’s project is re-plumbing the kitchen sink, fixing some water damage in one of the bathrooms, and replacing a towel rack that was torn from the wall. After that, all I need to do is paint the garage walls and the white trim in the house, and I think we are ready to list it for rent again.
I will be running on cough medicine and Sudafed today.
Presidency
Yep
I don’t like either one of them. That has nothing to do with which of them is more qualified to be President, and it isn’t Nikki Haley.
Police State
Where I Support BLM
LAPD raided the offices of an attorney who is representing a BLM activist in her lawsuit against the cops. During the raid, the cops took pictures of documents that contained privileged information. The judge in the case ordered the cops to destroy the photos.
He didn’t go far enough. Behavior like this on the part of the police needs to be dealt with harshly. The judge should grant a directed verdict in favor of the BLM supporter. Any time a cop is caught using their powers to cheat in a case should result in an automatic loss for the cops.

CW2 One Step Closer
Alaska has announced that they will be deploying their national guard to Texas in support of the Feds and oppose the TX national guard.
Rigging the vote
Admitting It
The left is finally admitting that the criminal charges against Trump are there not because they think he committed a crime, but are simply to tamper with the election. But, hey, they are “saving Democracy (TM)”
This is banana republic stuff right here. The sort of thing that the US has militarily intervened in other countries to prevent.
Tranny Insanity
This is Why We Aren’t a Democracy
If it’s true, that is:
The coming troubles are going to be real eye openers. The left wants to go to war with the people who feed them.
