I am currently fishing on the Penobscot River, just a few miles south of the Canadian border. There isn’t much in the way of cell service up here, and since you are reading this, it means that I didn’t get today’s post done due to lack of internet access.

Tax filing
I find it ironic that this article makes the claim that Intuit is “screwing over” taxpayers by charging them to use its products without mentioning how it is the government screwing over taxpayers by making the product necessary in the first place.

Misleading press
Here is an article about people who are in jail because they haven’t paid fines stemming from previous criminal convictions. The reporters frame it as debtor’s prison in more than one article, claiming that “they wouldn’t be in jail if they were rich.”
There is a difference between consumer debt and fines. If a person says they can’t pay a fine, what other penalties are available?
Tranny Insanity
Ferals
The skateboard wielding Antifa terrorist in this video admits to committing a felony. He admits on camera to using hairspray as a weapon. Since the label on that can says it is a violation of Federal law to use that product in a manner inconsistent with its instructions, spraying it on a camera or in someone else’s face is a Federal crime.
Not only that, but I have seen enough skateboards used as weapons to consider everyone wielding one as a threat.
All of this to protect the “rights” of a tranny to show his dick to little girls in a public bathroom.

I bet the nine arrested here won’t be held for months without bond, nor will they face terrorism charges.

Schadenfreude
Frank Clark is a defensive end for the Kansas City Chiefs. He has signed a $104 million contract to play a child’s game for five years. This country has been so unfair to him that he decided to take a knee during the National Anthem:
How has it been unfair? Well, they charged him with a felony, to which he pled guilty while he was a student at Michigan, where he was attending college for free. What was his crime, you ask? He forced his way into a fellow student’s dorm and stole his Apple computer. A violent felony because free college wasn’t enough.
He was arrested again later for domestic violence when he beat and choked his girlfriend into unconsciousness.
Yes, this country has been so unfair to Frank Clark. I can see why he would want to protest the injustices that this country has heaped upon him.
So why is this relevant? Frank Clark, a person prohibited from possession of firearms or ammunition was arrested in March in the state of California and charged with criminal possession of an assault weapon. Then he was arrested again just last month for illegally carrying a concealed weapon.
I wonder if he will actually spend time in jail, or if his celebrity status will still grant him a get out of jail free card. Yes – life is so unfair to American athletes. They should all take a knee in protest.
Glory Days
Big City Elitism
This is so typical of the people who live in big cities. This guy from New York visited Chicago and Detroit, what people from NYC consider to be ‘small towns’ located in ‘flyover’ country.
I’ve heard some people say that New York has everything and other cities are just small towns — some of my family members have even gone as far as to say the Midwest contains only cornfields.
We all know what they think of the south- it is filled with racist, uneducated, idiot rednecks whose main form of entertainment is going to the Klan meeting after a day of hillbilly hand fishin’.
He was also surprised that there were, you know, things to do.
Chicago and Detroit have chic restaurants, trendy stores, unique bars, and popular clubs.
This article is a perfect example of exactly the kind of elitist attitude that makes everyone in the country dislike people from New York City. We used to regularly get people from there who would walk into the fire station to sightsee. They were amazed that we had a large fire station that was filled with modern equipment, much of it better than what FDNY has. They were always surprised to find out that more than half of the guys on duty had college degrees in fire science, emergency medicine, or a related field. They were also surprised that about ten percent of the department were women.
Then the stories would start. We would have to hear about how the guy worked for “the New York Fire Department” where he was inevitably a chief, and then we would hear about how that department ran so many more big fires that we did, yada, yada.
So one day, I had had enough. I looked this guy who was telling me about some four alarm fire or some such, and I said, “Yeah, we get fires here too. We don’t get big ones like that, because we put them out while they are still small, because that is our fucking job.”
He walked out at that point, and left us to enjoy the rest of our provincial day in peace.
War on the Right
Justice is blind
A man who is accused of trespassing in the Capitol to sit at a Senator’s desk is being held without bond and facing possible terrorism charges.
A man illegally working as an armed security guard who murdered a pro-Trump protester is free on bail.
Rigging the vote
Constitutionalist doesn’t understand COTUS
This watchdog group that claims to be nonpartisan is recommending changes to the Supreme Court. Let’s start with a look at the group who calls themselves the Project on Governmental Oversight. They claim to be nonpartisan. OK, sure.
The Chairman of the Board for POGO is Nithi Vivatrat, who is also the CEO of a company called “Socially Determined,” a company that is dedicated to social justice in the delivery of healthcare.
Board Members include Rebecca Adamson, who is a woman that promotes “fairness” and believes that Native Americans should be in control of their own schools and education, and has served a promoter of economic independence for tribes. She is also a liberal professor teaching a course entitled ‘Indigenous Economics within the Community Economic Development Program’. I bet it’s a thrilling course.
I think you get the picture on how “nonpartisan” this organization is. Here is their position on the Supreme Court:
The “time has come for the Supreme Court to adopt a code of ethics or for Congress to impose one on it.”
Please, oh please, Mr Constitutional Scholar, point me to the portion of the Constitution that grants the Legislature the power to impose rules or a code of ethics upon the Supreme Court.
The panel also recommended increasing the number of seats on the court, imposing term limits, and having smaller panels of justices hear cases as opposed to all nine presiding over each one to break up static voting blocks.
Ah, yes. I can see it now. How would cases be assigned to these smaller panels? What would be the makeup? I am guessing that the new court would have 15 members, split into three smaller panels of five. Kavanaugh and Barrett would be on a panel with Sotomayor, Kagan, and a new justice to be appointed by Biden. The rest of the panels would similarly be divided.
In fact, Schumer is already salivating at the thought of filling him some SCOTUS vacancies. I am betting that, before the next election, Breyer mysteriously dies in his sleep, and there will be no autopsy, but the death will be ruled “natural causes” by someone who never viewed the body.
