On this day, the eve of January 6, remember that even those members of the media who claim to be on the right are not always who you think they are.
Don’t ever forget that hosts like Hannity, Levin, Shapiro, and Bongino were all threatened with their jobs if they ever mentioned that the election was disputed. They caved.
It is now Sixthmas eve- the day before the holiest of Democrat holidays. This is the biggest holiday of the year for the left. I was going to write a poem based upon “A Visit from St. Nick, but then I remember that Ashli Babbit was murdered in cold blood and decided against it. Even so, my sense of humor is still messed up, so I leave you with this from the Babylon Bee:
The Manhattan DA has said he will not seek prison sentences for any crimes other than homicide or other cases involving the death of a victim, a class B violent felony in which a deadly weapon causes serious physical injury, domestic violence felonies, sex offenses in Article 130 of the Penal Law, public corruption, rackets, or major economic crimes, including any attempt to commit any such offense under Article 110 of the Penal Law, unless required by law.
Does that mean you won’t do time for owning an AR15 and a dozen 30 round magazines?
The press ask: Why are so many vaccinated people getting COVID?
My guess? The vaccine doesn’t work.
One of the things that I have always been big about is personal freedom. I may or may not want to go on a cruise, but it is my right to decide. I may or may not want to get a vaccine, but it is my right. As long as my behavior isn’t directly causing harm to someone else, I expect others to mind their own business.
I also expect and respect the same of others. If you want to have a sandwich delivered by Doordash, that’s your business. If you want to take a cruise, or if you want to hide in your house from the black helicopters, again that’s your business. If one man wishes to marry another man, I will argue that the government has no business in stopping them. Likewise, if another man refuses to perform the ceremony or to bake the wedding cake, I believe that is also outside of the government’s legitimate authority to force them to do so.
When I see people on the left AND on the right who say, “I don’t care if the government passed this dictate or that restriction because I don’t want to do that, anyhow,” I believe that it diminishes all of us.
I may not agree with your speech, your religion, or your chosen pursuit of happiness, but I will fight for your right to do so, just as I expect you to do for mine. Either we all hang together, or we will surely all hang separately.
This attorney, former history teacher, former Marine, and current liberal claims that the defeat of last January 6’s “attempted coup” was due to the overwhelming force that the Federal government can bring to bear. He goes on to say that local school boards are at risk because they are “soft targets.”
No, the reason that it failed as a coup is that it WASN’T a coup. No one except the police were armed. There is even video on this very website of the police letting them into the building. Contrast that with the violent riots of the summer of 2020, where dozens were killed, and which party represents the greatest threat?
This guy is an asshole. He doesn’t even realize that the home addresses of every Florida voter are posted online. Florida has a very robust public records law, and we like it that way.
In fact, thanks to that law, we can see that this article and this man are both liars. See, the claim is that Mr. Filipkowski was a Republican until January 7th, when he was so disgusted by the actions in the Capitol the previous day, he went down and changed his party affiliation to Democrat. Well, looking up his voter registration tells a different tale:
He has been a Democrat since before the 2016 election, perhaps longer. I am sure that he was once a Republican, because his 28 year old son is named Ronald Reagan Filipkowski, but the switch to the left occurred before the Trump campaign was a thing, and long before last January.
Even in leftist Hawaii, families are opting out of the public school system in large numbers. The left doesn’t care how many people they piss off.
This reminds me of my confusion from the weeks leading up to the 2020 election. I couldn’t understand why the Biden campaign wasn’t running the race. It never occurred to me that the race was over because they had taken a shortcut.
The left doesn’t care who they piss off, because they know that they have already won.
Dodge is cancelling the Hemi V8, despite the fact that it is an immensely popular engine. Why? Woke bullshit. Bad decisions like this are why the government shouldn’t bail companies out of financial woes.
There are those who can’t stand that you can get into your privately-owned vehicle at any time of the day or night and drive virtually anywhere you please. These budding authoritarians view that and all other forms of personal freedom as threats to their power.
After reading this, I believe that J6 was a planned event- not by Trump forces, but by Federal intelligence and law enforcement.
Delivery drivers brag that they won’t pick up an order unless it is marked as coming with a large tip.
So consumers respond by promising large tips, but not following through.
