Nothing’s better for Republican unity than Democratic lunacy! Biden and the Left are salivating at the chance of bankrupting Trump, but JOSH HAMMER reveals why the $454M ruling against Donald will end up costing THEM dearly

*** begin quote ***

In New York, there’s no bail for murderous thugs who roam the streets of the Big Apple.

Yet a Republican presidential candidate, leading in the polls against Uncle Joe, gets no such mercy.

Folks in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and other crime-ravaged NYC neighborhoods would love to see that reversed.

No one can earnestly look at what’s been done to Trump and see anything other than a vindictive witch hunt – and America is watching.

Who wants to live in a country where you’re targeted by the all-powerful state simply for holding the ‘wrong’ opinions?

Never-Trumpers and supporters of Nikki Haley have a choice this November: It’s either Trump or these vicious leftists, who’ll stop at nothing to injure their political opponents.

It won’t be a hard choice.

*** end quote ***

Anyone, who has any sense of fair play, should be outraged at this perversion of “justice”.

Sorry from the get go this is nothing more than a modern day lynching.

Shome on “We, The Sheeple” in the Pepuls Republik of Nu Jerk for letting this happen.

DISCOURAGING: ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ replaced by “Army values”?

Friday, March 22, 2024

West Point military academy drops ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ motto from its mission statement – as furious veterans’ slam ‘progressive ideology’ for eroding tradition

  •     The phrase, which was added in 1998, will be replaced with the words ‘Army Values,’ according to Superintendent Lt. Gen. Steve Gilland
  •     The lieutenant general claimed the new mission statement ‘binds the Academy to the Army’ while ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ is foundational to Academy culture
  •     West Point’s mission statement has changed nine times in the past

In the 1962 speech at West Point, Gen. Douglas MacArthur said, ‘The long gray line has never failed us. Were you to do so, a million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, would rise from their white crosses, thundering those magic words: Duty, Honor, Country.’

WTH does that mean?

A ‘traumatized’ single mom has claimed Southwest Airlines accused her of child trafficking while she was traveling with her four-year-old son from Florida to Ohio.

Video footage shows the moment Mary Bridgetta Tomarchio, 45, was confronted by two armed police officers at at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport on February 17 after receiving a suspicious report from ‘a pilot’. 

Tomarchio told DailyMail.com she thought the officers were joking at first but quickly became terrified as they questioned her and asked for proof she was his mother.

While “child trafficking” is a terrible problem, there must be a better way of checking?

Jackie, a bald eagle, shakes powder off her feathers as she settles into a snow heap overlooking a California valley.

Invisible to the eye, a cozy nest sits underneath, kept warm by her body heat.

Jackie has been guarding her three eggs from the elements ever since a powerful atmospheric river pummeled the region last week.

Life is tough in the wild.  Something we humans forget all to easily.  Life is precious.  

How did the eagles learn to survive?

GOVERNACIDE: The cruel and unusual punishment of Kenneth Eugene Smith

Thursday, February 1, 2024

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13008191/Kenneth-Eugene-Smith-nitrogen-executed-first.html

Wife of killer Kenneth Eugene Smith ‘cried out’ during his historic 22-minute-long nitrogen execution – which witness described as ‘horrific’ as he thrashed and ‘convulsed’ on gurney

  •     The convicted killer, 58, had a gas mask placed over his face before a stream of 100 percent nitrogen gas suffocated him  
  •     Smith’s pastor told DailyMail.com beforehand he was ‘really struggling’, and ate only a small part of his final meal of steak, hashbrowns and eggs  
  •     He was sentenced to death in 1996 over the murder-for-hire slaying of a pastor’s wife eight years prior

*** begin quote ***

The wife of Kenneth Eugene Smith cried out for her killer husband as he thrashed against his restraints, suffering as he became the first person in history to be executed via nitrogen hypoxia. 

Smith, 58, was put to death Thursday in a ‘horrific’ 22-minute ordeal when a gas mask was placed over his face, before a stream of 100 percent nitrogen gas suffocated him inside the execution chamber at the William C. Holman prison in Atmore, Alabama. 

The murderer’s spiritual guide, Jeff Hood, described the execution as the ‘worst thing’ he had ever seen, claiming prison officials gasped in shock as he died far slower than anticipated.

*** end quote ***

As a pro-life little L libertarian, I find this horrifying.

The Gooferment should never EVER be allowed to kill people.  How can we differentiate between those that MIGHT ‘deserve it” and those who the Gooferment deems do “deserve it” because of their opinions, life style, or religion.

On a philosophical or moral level, the Gooferment can NOT be trusted with this “power”.

As a practical matter, the only time that it should have this power is when a convict is to dangerous to the prison guards.  Then, and only then, should the Gooferment be able to seek permission from a jury.

Think Hanible Lector or a convict who kills a prison guard or another inmate.  Maybe even a convict who assaults or rapes might deserve this “eternal reward”.

Now consider the manner of death in this specific instance of “nitrogen suffocation”,  Can anyone truthfully say this is not “cruel and unusual punishment” that is prohibited by Constitutional Amendment?  Shame on us for allowing it.

As reprehensible as Smith was, we as a society should be ashamed.

IMHO

DISCOURAGING: Mercy for terminal patients might be abused

Cancer-stricken Connecticut grandma who pushed for Vermont to expand ‘assisted suicide’ to out-of-state residents finally receives LETHAL medication after years-long fight

  •     Lynda Bluestein, 76, who had terminal cancer, ended her life in Vermont on Thursday and her husband described it as ‘comfortable and peaceful’ 
  •     Her last words were ‘I’m so happy I don’t have to do this (suffer) anymore,’ her husband Paul wrote in an email to the group Compassion & Choices
  •     The organization filed a lawsuit against Vermont in 2022 on behalf of Bluestein, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Diana Barnard, a physician from Middlebury

*** begin quote ***

Over 200 terminally-ill people have chosen to receive life-ending drugs in Vermont in the past decade since the state legalized assisted suicide in 2013.

A new report by the Vermont Department of Health revealed that 203 patients chose to ‘die with dignity’ between May 2013 and June 2023.

In May 2013, the Vermont General Assembly passed Act 39, which allows capable, terminally ill adult patients to request and obtain a prescription for life-ending medication to hasten their death. Participation by patients and doctors is entirely voluntary.

*** end quote ***

I remember Sarah Palin calling Obamacare out for “death panels”.   She was right.

When will this “mercy” become applied to the frail old people, the chronically ill, “defectives” at birth, and the hopeless drug addicts?

When will the wacko Left get to apply it to “the deplorables”?

Nice to know I have this as an option when I run out of money and become a drag on “society”!

Can anyone spell “slippery slope”?

What today is “voluntary” is tomorrows’ “mandatory”!

Remember the movie “Soylent Green”?  Strangely prophetic!

GOVERNACIDE: How can a multiple DUI driver be free?

Friday, December 29, 2023

‘Drunk driver’ Jose Menjivar, who killed mom and her teenage son in a wreck, has three previous DUI convictions and was driving despite having his license pulled

  •     Melissa Powell and her teenage son Riordan died after being involved in a collision on December 12 in Broomfield, Colorado 
  •     Jose Menjivar has since been charged with DUI and vehicular homicide
  •     Previous court records have revealed that Menjivar has been convicted of DUI in the past and had his license revoked

A mom and her teenage son were killed in a car wreck and police have arrested the man they say was behind the wheel while drunk – a suspect who has three previous DUI convictions. 

On Thursday, Colorado’s 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office announced formal charges against Jose Menjivar, 37.

Menjivar is accused of causing a crash in Broomfield on December 12 that claimed the lives of Melissa Powell, 46, and her son Riordan, 16. 

*** end quote ***

Seems like the price would have a BOLO on every DUI convicted driver.

Instead of random checkpoints pursue the repeat offenders.  Give them a special license plate, like the dealer plates that easily are put on and off, that say “stop me for a DUI check”!

Argh!

This is not the first time I’ve ranted about this topic.

The person who loaned him the truck should be prosecuted as well as an “accessory before the fact”. That person had to know him well enough to know he didn’t have license.

A liberal San Francisco supervisor has blamed capitalism for the city’s sprawling homeless issue and said that it’s ‘counterproductive’ to arrest people openly doing drugs in public. 

Dean Preston, the Supervisor representing District 5, has also been very open about his support for the ‘defund the police’ movement. 

‘I think we have a very, very bloated police budget. All kinds of waste in the police department. I mean, I could cut a hundred million dollars out of the police department,’ he said in a recent clip shared online from the UnHerd documentary.

*** end quote ***

What we have in California is some type of socialism or fascism; certainly NOT capitalism.

 — Inigo Montoya from the 1987 romantic comedy film The Princess Bride.

Drug prohibition is certainly not “capitalism”.  

And, “defunding the police” means let criminals run wild robbing, killing, and terrorizing “We, The Sheeple”.

Think back to the Wild West, as long as you didn’t hurt someone, you were free to pursue your destiny.  But, “An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” — Robert A. Heinlein

“The question isn’t who is going to let me: it’s who is going to stop me.” — Ayn Rand

The political class are the “parasite class of humans” (i.e., Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats, “scientist with agendas”, “celebrities”, the corporate press, Big Pharma, Big Tech).  All belong on the scrap bin of humanity

ECONOMICS: Big deffered contract takes a big risk?

  •     Ohtani’s deal will see the bulk of the contract paid out after it ends in 10 years 
  •     Baseball fans were irate at the structure and that it was allowed to happen 

*** end quote ***

The Dodgers must have channeled their inner Bill Belichick.  This will get everyone’s shorts in a knot.  Especially the politicians and bureaucrats in the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah.  That’s a lot of money they can’t steal.  And it’s a big risk to take on the financial stability of the Dodgers and the future value of the USD.  Wonder what kind of Futures Contract he’s buying to protect it.

While I understand the motivations behind “stretching the rules”, it’s NOT without some significant risks IMHO.

It violates my favorite heuristic (rule of thumb; “common sense”; pov) that one should always “take the money and run”.  

It’s not beyond the imagination to conceive of the politicians and bureaucrats of the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah creating a special income tax rule for “deferred compensation”.  Watch for it!

AND, inflation AKA dollar depreciation is for SURE to erode that deferred wealth.
