Good use of a garbage truck. Should have put the “suspect” in with trash to further “detain” him.

Argh!

Happy ending to a possibly deadly situation.

Don’t Let Judges Lie to Juries about Conscientious Acquittal | Cato Institute

Tuesday, February 9, 2021

The Maryland Court of Appeals’ endorsement of the novel (and false) proposition that juries may not acquit against the evidence—and its prospective instruction that state trial judges repeat that misrepresentation of the law to juries—represents a brazen usurpation of the jury’s power. No matter how much some judges may dislike jury nullification, letting them lie to juries to prevent the conscientious acquittal of a defendant is unconstitutional.

Judges should not be allowed to hide jury nullification. Zenger must be rolling over in his grave.

Like most of the “hard left” “celebrities”, or should we say Marxists, I thought this was the latest example of duplicity.

Is this hard evidence of illegal ballots in Detroit? The Gateway Pundit now claims that the TCF Center finally released security footage showing that witnesses were telling the truth.

Saturday, February 6, 2021

The Gateway Pundit, though, wasn’t ready to walk away from these claims. Instead, two months ago, the site requested video footage from the TCF Center for the wee hours of November 4, long after the ballots should have stopped arriving. The Gateway Pundit finally received the footage a week ago and, since then, has poured through hundreds of hours of security camera footage. According to The Gateway Pundit, the footage revealed that, just as the witnesses said, 50 boxes of ballots arrived at around 3:30 in the morning:

It’s Time To Take Seriously Teachers’ Refusal To Teach

Thursday, February 4, 2021

In Democrat-run cities across America, teachers are demanding priority access to vaccines and refusing to return to their classrooms. The big fights are in Chicago, Montclair (New Jersey), and California, where the teachers are insisting on working only from home.

Conservatives rightly resent what’s happening. They support getting teachers back to work but I’d like to suggest a different approach: Shut down the public schools in these cities, give parents vouchers, and let the free market do its magic.

Time to end the Gooferment Skrules!

White House reporters say Biden team wanted questions in advance | Just The News

Tuesday, February 2, 2021

White House reporters say Biden team wanted questions in advance “The key here, it seems, is whether this process is being used to stage the briefings or simply to prepare for them,” said media critic Jeffrey McCall.

POLITICAL: Cuomo creates a catch 22?

Saturday, January 30, 2021

(Don Boudreaux) Tweet Alec March interviews Sunetra Gupta . A slice: ‘It’s quite curious how much has been invested in this performance of social distancing and mask wearing,’ she volunteers. ‘A culture has been created of virtue signalling and shaming and this culture is adopted by the academics, clearly.

*** begin quote ***

The governor, a self-declared foe of government incompetence, also presented medical providers with the vaccine edition of Sophie’s Choice. Earlier this month, he announced that hospitals that failed to use all of their vaccines would face up to a $100,000 fine; those thatvaccinated anyone out of the state-approved order of operations would face up to a $1 million fine. The kicker: Cuomo created a rigorous hierarchy of who was allowed to receive the vaccine at what point, meaning hospitals had no choice but to throw away expiring doses instead of finding willing vaccine recipients. Better to lose $100,000 than $1 million, I guess.

Seems like Cuomo is a villanous politicians!

URGENT: Toddler bleeds to death after swallowing button battery that burned through organs in North Carolina | Daily Mail Online

Monday, January 25, 2021

The couple are sharing Johnathan’s story so that no other family goes through what they have. Jackie said: ‘I just want to make every parent aware of the dangers and make people realise just how many devices have these batteries all over your home. ‘In this case, the back of the remote slides right off, it wasn’t screwed down. ‘After this happened we started doing research into it, something as simple as putting duct tape over the back of the remote could have stopped this. ‘Duct tape is hard for adults to get off, a two-year-old is not going to be able to open it. ‘I can’t bring back Johnathan, but if there is anything I can do to make more parents search through their homes, then that’s something.’

As much as those little screws over battery covers are a giant PIA, I’ll be duct taping any battery cover without one.

And, I’ll be notifying the manufacturer also.

I figure that duct taping over a ziplock bag is another approach.

As is, using my vacuum sealer, to keep those batteries “in”!

I realize that the AA and AAA are less risk than the “button batteries”, but better safe than sorry.

Wednesday, January 20, 2021

25 Top accomplishments of President Donald J. Trump Executive order enacted Jan. 1, 2021 requiring hospitals to provide medical prices to patients upfront so they can shop around. 2. Reversing the ascent of the Islamic extremist terrorist group ISIS. 3. “Most Favored Nation” executive order so that the U.S. (through Medicare) would pay no more for a drug than what’s offered to foreign countries, saving the U.S. an estimated “$85 billion in savings over seven years and $30 billion in out-of-pocket costs.” 4. Moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to the capital of Jerusalem. 5. Building more than 450 miles of new and replacement border wall. 6.
