Then President Trump claimed in September that by April, the vaccine would be available to all Americans. Dr Fauci and the CDC said he was wrong, and that it would be late summer or fall before that happened.
It turns out that Trump was right (again), while the CDC and Fauci were wrong- or lied– (again).
I don’t like most art. Why? Because it doesn’t take any talent or skill to throw random colors up and call it art. This, in my opinion, does not display any amount of talent:
So I just cannot understand how someone can get paid half a million bucks for painting that.
Isn’t this pretty close to what the Democrats wanted to Impeach Reagan for during the Iran-Contra affair? Or are we about to get more spin and obfuscation?
At 7 o’clock this morning, I woke up hearing music playing. It was loud enough that I could make out lyrics. It was Christian music. My wife and I searched the house and soon realized that it was coming from a church that, according to Google maps, is exactly 1,000 yards from my house. They were having a sunrise Easter service. According to their website, the service was indoors, playing outdoors on a large TV screen for people in their cars sitting in the parking lot, and live streaming for those at home. The music played from 6:45am to 7:15am, then the service began.
I heard it all.
Also according to Google Maps, there are 21 churches and a Synagogue within a 5 mile radius of my house. We decided it was time to get up and hurry out for breakfast before the post-church service rush.
I am not a religious person. I *do* support people and their religion. I am respectful, and will quietly bow my head when others pray. However, if I can be awakened by the music from your service inside of my house from a half a mile away, your shit is too loud. This is no better than having to deal with the Muslim call to prayer.
Have some respect for people who choose not to attend your church.
Parents lose a child, so they petition the government to pass a law that would have saved his life. They want it made mandatory for boat operators to wear the lanyard connected to their vessel’s kill switch.
Another woman wants people who go swimming when conditions are ripe for rip currents to be fined.
Look, I am all in favor of people being safe. A kill switch is a safety device, and I frequently use mine. When the red flags are up, you shouldn’t be in the water. However, just because something is a good idea doesn’t mean that it needs to be legally mandated.
A disbarred attorney used the CDC eviction moratorium to live on her sister’s porch. She defecated in the bushes, refusing to leave, and it took gobs of money and two years to get rid of her. This is what government does.
When I was a kid, Paul Harvey used to have a radio show called “The rest of the story” where he would do a short story about something that had occurred that “everyone” knew, and then would disclose the part of the story that was largely unknown. He would end the segment with “and now you know… the rest of the story.” With that out of the way:
Here is a tear jerking story about three young black people who were gunned down in their prime by evil, racist cops, when all they were doing was listening to the radio and “smoking.” What the story glosses over is that three handguns were found in the vehicle. What the story doesn’t mention is that at least one of them, Jaquan Kimbrough-Rucker, has a lengthy criminal record. He was convicted in 2018 for a felony in Indian River county (burglary), was sentenced to three years and wound up serving two years in prison for it (first year was credit for time served.) He was released early. He was involved in this case just weeks after being released from prison. Had he served his full sentence, this likely would not have happened.
The shooting can’t be interrupting him too much because he was arrested in December of 2020 for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and again in March of 2021 for possession of Fentanyl, Cocaine, Ecstacy, Xanax, resisting arrest, and intent to distribute.
Now without knowing whether or not they were business associates of this violent drug dealer, or merely in the wrong place, this wasn’t some young, innocent group of young people. The two young people who were killed were friends with this drug dealing violent criminal, and that is what got them killed. It wasn’t racism. It wasn’t out of control cops, it was another case of criminal black men that got them killed.
Now you know the rest of the story.
Across the US, police conduct more than 20 million traffic stops each year. This means that 50,000 times each day, a police officer stops someone in traffic. Less than half of those stops are for speeding, DWI, stop sign or stoplight violations. Instead, minor traffic violations are used as an excuse to initiate criminal investigations. This tactic fails to find any criminal wrongdoing 98% of the time.
I disagree with the thrust of the article- claiming that police are racist. The real reason why traffic stops disproportionally affect blacks is for two reasons: most police and most traffic stops happen in large cities, which are where most blacks live, and black neighborhoods tend to be where most of the violent crime is, so that is where most police spend most of their time. That is just a fact. We all know it. Go to any city and ask any person, no matter what race they are, to tell you where the most dangerous and crime ridden area of town is, and they will point to a predominately black neighborhood.
No, the real issue with police overreach isn’t racism- it is that the police have too much power to stop and search people. Let’s agree to start there.
The Army Criminal Investigation Command is investigating an M4 rifle that has gone missing from the DC national guard. It looks like it is either a troop that has decided that he needs to keep his weapon when things get sporty soon, or he is going to sell it on the black market, what the Soviets used to call ‘nalyevo’ (on the left).
We will know that units are planning on going rogue when things like Javelins, Stingers, some M-2s, explosives, and other heavier stuff starts walking off.
The changes to the Army fitness test are wrecking the Army, and are entirely caused by two things- admitting women, and admitting out of shape pussies, as most of our youth are today, without forcing them to actually get into fighting shape. That’s how you get shit like this:
