A US Capitol Police officer’s friend of 40 years worried he’d “fallen into a cult” and reported the officer to the FBI for telling Trump supporters where the secure locations of lawmakers were.
You’d think you’d know someone after 40 years of friendship. Turning him in was for his own good, you see. To save him from the cult.
Every couple of years, the Democrats and the Republicans engage in this stupid play. The plot is always the same: The country has borrowed to its supposed “debt ceiling,” and the Democrats want to raise it. The Republicans “refuse” to do so unless they get some concessions. The government gets “shut down” while they argue about it, until the Democrats eventually make some sort of deal, then the Republicans declare victory, raise the debt ceiling, and everyone pats themselves on the back.
Except the debt ceiling, concessions, the shut down, refusal, all of it, is fake. None of it actually exists, nor did anything actually change. It’s all theater.
Police in Florida are going door to door looking for a cop killer. That includes ATF agents searching people’s homes. I understand that they want to catch a dangerous man, but it will be a cold day in hell before I voluntarily allow one of those murderous cocksuckers from the ATF into my house.
The same goes for any cops. There is no criminal fugitive in here, I am not being held hostage. Now piss off.
Like Australia, in Italy you must accept the vaccine passport that includes an app on your cell phone that tracks your location. If you fail to get this app, your employer can’t fire you. Of course, they can’t pay you, either.
If you refuse this tracking device and the vaccine that goes with it, you can’t participate in society. No dining out, no entering any government building or business, no paycheck. You will be an unperson.
That is the endgame: Your entire life will be controlled by the government.
The rich should pay their fair share, says the ‘big guy’ who dodged half a million in taxes and his son, who was shaking down foreign governments for millions.
A judge in Florida has ruled that, since immigration is covered under Federal law, it is unconstitutional for state and local police to assist Federal authorities in enforcing that law, even to the point that they cannot hand illegal immigrants over to Federal authorities. It also allows the creation of Sanctuary cities:
Consistent with the Court’s Omnibus order on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment, Defendants are PERMANENTLY ENJOINED from enforcing the Transport Requirement, Fla. Stat. § 908.104(4), because this statutory provision is preempted by federal immigration law and is therefore unconstitutional.
The unintended part comes here: In light of this ruling, what other laws would be exclusively preempted by Federal law, thus making them outside of local jurisdiction? Gun laws? Marijuana? Drug laws? Considering that Federal law is so broad, this ruling makes virtually every state law and ordinance unconstitutional, while making local and state police virtually powerless.
Perhaps that’s been the plan all along. Seize Federal power, then declare the states to be powerless.
I recently asked “Can you imagine how that would go today?” about a sailor who was brought up on charges for saying he was “on the pussy watch” while serving as the sentry in front of the women’s barracks. Well, now we know. Anyone in the military who is accused of sexual harassment will be summarily discharged, as the military will have civilian oversight that will investigate charges of sexual harassment:
For sexual harassment cases, it also calls for independent trained investigators and the mandatory discharge of those who engage in sexual harassment.
I once had a boss who gave us a sexual harassment class. He summed it up perfectly: “Sexual harassment is whatever the woman says it is.” Of course, he said that back in the 90’s. Today, the accuser will also be one of the LGTBQHRY… mafia. Say anything that a person under your command doesn’t like, and your career is over.
Now that isn’t to say that all claims of sexual harassment are bogus. Some men are pigs who will use rank to get sexual favors. However, the vast majority of sexual harassment complaints are not because of that. The vast majority are for perceived slights that exist more in the mind of the accuser than anywhere else.
This is just another tool that will be used to eliminate those who are politically unreliable from the ranks of the military.
The President is proposing to court martial and dishonorably discharge any service members who refuse the jab. A dishonorable discharge is a felony conviction.
Remember, civilian disarmament has always preceded genocide in authoritarian states.
The 4th circuit dismissed a gun rights case for those between 18 and 21 because the clock ran out when the plaintiff turned 21. The court says that, since the plaintiff is now 21 and can buy a firearm, the case is dismissed as moot.
Fine. Outlaw abortion. If anyone sues, the case should be dismissed for lack of standing if the plaintiff isn’t pregnant. If the plaintiff *is* pregnant, by the time it gets to the appeals level, cite this case as you file to have the case dismissed as moot.
