The blueprint is set to end Joe Biden’s shaky reign in the White House
By Michael Goodwin 
July 8, 2023

*** begin quote ***

Stein’s Law holds that “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” 

*** and ***

Meanwhile, Dems could have an open primary, with Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sens. Amy Klobachur, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, and Pete Buttigieg and other dreamers free to pick up where they left off in 2020. 

Even Sen. Bernie Sanders would probably try again and why not Hillary, too? 

It all sounds far-fetched — until you imagine a Trump-Biden rematch, with Biden hobbled by a terrible first term and both candidates accused of crimes. 

If Democrats stick with Biden under those circumstances, they’ll be inviting the second coming of Trump.

*** end quote ***

Sounds like we need to put a mandatory retirement age along with term limits amount some of the other changes need to cut the Gooferment down in size and intrusiveness.

At the very least repealing the Seventeenth Amendment would put the State Legislatures back in charge of Senators and eliminate “carpet bagging” individuals from buying seats to the big graft bonanza.

A mandatory retirement age tied to the Social Security “full benefit” retirement age might be a nice touch.

Then kill many if not all of the TLAs (i.e., three letter agencies).   If we do need a small Department of Agriculture to help the States coordinate, then they should reside in the State they are coordinating for but I bet the States could figure out how to do it faster, cheaper, and easier.

Argh!

Lost 16-year-old hiker walks out of Canadian wilderness on her own after frantic 54-hour search
By Patrick Reilly  — July 2, 2023 12:44am Updated

*** begin quote ***

A 16-year-old girl who went missing after getting separated from her hiking group in the Canadian wilderness was found safe after a frantic 54-hour search, officials said.

Esther Wang was found in Golden Ears Park in British Columbia, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Friday.

“She is healthy, she is happy and she is with family,” RCMP Superintendent Wendy Mehat said in a statement.

*** end quote ***

​Happy ending and a great survival story. Apparently well prepared and didn’t panic. Figured her own way out. Very impressive. Not sure I’d do as well.​

RANT: An unramed trio is robbed by four thugs with a gun

Thursday, June 1, 2023

Chilling video shows Chicago dad robbed at gunpoint in front of home as wife, kids slept inside
By Yaron Steinbuch  —  June 1, 2023 8:09am

*** begin quote ***

A chilling video captured the moment a Chicago resident was robbed at gunpoint by a group of masked thugs in front of his home as his wife, kids and other relatives slept inside.

Victor Galena Sr. was on his way to work about 6 a.m. Friday in the Windy City’s Hermosa neighborhood when he and two companions were accosted by a group of robbers wearing black ski masks, CBS News Chicago reported.

“They started pointing a gun at my dad and [one of his companions] who was up here on those stairs,” the victim’s son Victor Galena Jr. told the news outlet.

The group had been counting the money that they planned to spend on construction tools that day when they were attacked by thugs.

*** and ***

“It’s the people that you look up to that you call right away when you need someone to defend you, and if they can’t defend you, then who are you going to call if you’re defenseless by yourself?” he added.

Police said the same group of brazen thieves later committed the same crime against at least 10 other people — part of a string of robberies in which they target residents leaving for or arriving at their jobs.

*** end quote ***

Sure glad that Chicago is “gun free”.

Wait until the vigilantes start to protect themselves.

This gang could be caught in a “honeypot”.  Early AM counting money with armed back up hidden away.

End of gang of robbers.

But then the liberal woke politicians and bureaucrats would be after their scalps.

Argh!

Hard to believe that “We, The Sheeple” have ALLOWED politicians and bureaucrats to disarm us.

“I particularly like unlimited concealed carry. If the criminal regards the general public as sheep to be shorn, then let’s sprinkle in a few “sheepdogs” with big teeth in the flock.

Guess which gay to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Pink Pistol and you’re dead!

Guess which woman to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Paxton Quigly and you’re dead!

Guess which brown person to bash? Buzz, wrong, you picked a Massad Ayoob and you’re dead!”

*** end quote ***

I still believe this is THE solution to crime in “our” cities.

RANT: No bail for second offenders, parolees, felons, or “juveniles” — especially in elderly assault

Thursday, June 1, 2023

https://nypost.com/2023/05/25/boy-14-busted-in-unprovoked-attack-on-man-71-in-nyc-cops/

Teen arrested in random beating of man, 71, as NYPD seeks additional suspect in elderly assault

By c  — May 25, 2023 11:06am

*** begin quote ***

A 14-year-old boy was busted this week for allegedly slugging an elderly man in an unprovoked attack in Midtown, cops said. 

The teen was nabbed at his home Wednesday and charged with assault in connection to the May 6 assault on a 71-year-old man on West 55th Street near Broadway, police said. 

The boy approached the septuagenarian from behind just after 9 p.m., punched him in the face and pushed him to the ground, authorities said. 

The pint-sized assailant took off, and the senior was taken to Mount Sinai West for medical treatment, cops said. 

Days after the attack, police released a photo of the suspect, standing with one clenched fist, in hopes of tracking him down. 

*** end quote ***

Little coward needs to be treated as an “adult”.  Sorry but Heinlein had the correct take on “juvenile delinquents”.

“I told you that ‘juvenile delinquent’ is a contradiction in terms. ‘Delinquent’ means ‘failing in duty.’ But duty is an adult virtue—indeed a juvenile becomes an adult when, and only when, he acquires a knowledge of duty and embraces it as dearer than the self-love he was born with. There never was, there cannot be a ‘juvenile delinquent.’ But for every juvenile criminal there are always one or more adult delinquents—people of mature years who either do not know their duty, or who, knowing it, fail.” ― Robert A. Heinlein, Starship Troopers 

This 14 year old is a “criminal” and should be treated as such.

GUNS: When seconds count, the police are late to the scene

 Video shows man brutally attacked by mob of cyclists in downtown LA

By Ronny Reyes 

May 21, 2023 6:21pm

*** begin quote ***

A man driving a pickup truck was pummeled by a group of young bicyclists during a broad-daylight attack in the downtown Los Angeles jewelry district.

Video footage captured the moment the victim was knocked to the ground by a group of people who stomped and kicked him ruthlessly near Hill and 6th Street on Thursday.

A witness said the fracas started when the cyclists claimed the man struck one of their bikes.

The victim, who has not been identified, covered his head as the assailants delivered brutal kicks.

A group of local jewelers quickly arrived and yelled at the group to stop.

One bystander could be seen removing his belt and whipping it around to scare off the cyclists. 

*** end quote ***

One msn versus a number of thugs; how to even the “playing field”?

And, the police arrive after everyone has left.

If the victim had been armed, then the incident probably would have never happened.

And if the attackers were shot at, shot, wounded, or (heaven forbid) killed, then I am sure we would see the victim prosecuted and the attackers lauded as “good little children”.

Argh!

RANT: A Leftist college professor demonstrates how to be “stupid”!

Wednesday, May 24, 2023

 NYC college professor cursed out anti-abortion students tabling at school
By Allie Griffin  —   May 22, 2023 11:39pm

*** begin quote ***

A Manhattan college (NB: not manhattan.edu) professor flipped out on a group of students who set up an information table opposing abortion inside the school building — cursing and tossing their pamphlets, video of the interaction shows.

Shellyne Rodriguez, an adjunct professor, told the pro-life students they were “triggering” her students by tabling inside Hunter College in Manhattan earlier this month.

The footage was posted to Twitter by Students for Life of America.

“You’re not educating s–t. This is f–king propaganda,” the art professor told the students tabling on May 2. “What are you going to do like anti-trans next?”

A male student behind the table calmly told her, “I mean no, we’re talking about abortion” and said he was sorry about “triggering” her students.

Rodriguez claimed their demonstration was “violent” and yelled at the male student behind the table that he wasn’t sorry “because you can’t even have a f–king baby,” the video shows.

*** end quote ***

This is secular “higher” education.  

How can you reason when the Leftists refuse to keep the peace?

Disgraceful and un-American.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Mexican police and “justice” fail!

Thursday, May 18, 2023

https://nypost.com/2023/05/17/roxana-ruiz-convicted-for-strangling-rapist-to-death/

Roxana Ruiz, who strangled her rapist, sentenced to 6 years in prison, activists slam decision
By Snejana Farberov  — May 17, 2023 1:27pm 

*** begin quote ***

Ruiz fought back and struck him in the face, causing a nosebleed.

The man then allegedly threatened to kill her.

In the struggle that followed, Ruiz grabbed a T-shirt and used it to strangle her attacker.

In a panic, Ruiz stuffed the man’s body in a bag and dragged it out to the street, where passing police caught her red-handed.

Despite telling police she had been raped and acted in self-defense, Carrera said a forensic exam was never taken — a crucial step in prosecuting sexual violence cases.

Instead, an officer allegedly told Ruiz that she probably wanted to have sex with the man at first and then changed her mind.

“I regret what I did, but if I hadn’t done it, I would be dead today,” Ruiz said in an interview last year.

“It’s evident that the state wants to shut us up, wants us to be submissive, wants us closed up inside, wants us dead,” she added.

*** end quote ***

Why are the police deciding not to do a “rape kit”?

If the facts as stated are correct, then this appears to be a miscarriage of justice.

Maybe she showed bad judgment but 6 years?

Women’s rights groups have repeatedly accused Mexican authorities of revictimizing survivors and failing to judge cases with a gender perspective.

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Who do these people think they work for?

FBI refuses to give Congress informant file alleging Biden took bribes as vice president
By Steven Nelson 
May 10, 2023 3:50pm

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON — The FBI has refused to give Congress an informant file alleging that President Biden took bribes while he was vice president, The Post has learned — setting up a possible showdown over access to the information.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) issued a legally binding subpoena last week requiring the FBI to turn over the file by noon Wednesday, but the bureau instead replied with a six-page letter raising various objections.

“Information from confidential human sources is unverified and, by definition, incomplete,” wrote FBI acting assistant director for congressional affairs Christopher Dunham, who also argued that informant reports must also be kept private to protect sources.

*** end quote ***

Who do these people think they work for?

Congress should IMMEDIATELY defund the FBI!

Suspend the salaries of the non-worker bees (i.e., leadership).

Argh!

GOVEROTRAGEOUS: Isn’t an “unfunded mandate” the same as a “takings” under the Fifth Amendment?

Thursday, May 4, 2023

 NYC co-op owners, covering over 800K apartments, rebel against massive climate law costing millions
By Carl Campanile
April 30, 2023 8:05pm 

*** begin quote ***

While supporting the goal of the Climate Change law, co-ops and condo owners said they need assistance to meet the new cleaner energy standards in what they called the “largest unfunded mandate in New York City history.”

*** end quote ***

I don’t support  — no surprise  — any type of “climate change” action until they can forecast accurately next month’s weather.  Chaos Theory seems to say that’s impossible.  And, on their way, they need to get China, India, and Pakistan to buy into this foolishness.

As an “on the ground” tactic, every such action should be opposed as a “taking” under the Fifth Amendment.

Argh!

Getting ‘zombied’ is the new dating trend — and it’s worse than ‘ghosting’
By Brooke Steinberg 
April 26, 2023 11:41am 

*** begin quote ***

“Girl, you’re being ghosted? I’m being zombied,” she shared with her 255,900 followers on the platform.

“It’s like ghosting, but he comes back from the dead after a couple months and hits you up,” she explained in the video with 1.5 million views and 151,100 likes.

*** and ***

“I saw someone say she puts gravestone emojis on their name in contacts so she knows not to deal with them anymore,” a user wrote.

*** end quote ***

I really like this “productivity suggestion”.  

Use the 🪦 to remind yourself to ignore people, places, phone numbers, and email addresses.

I guess it’s polite to send the emoji to let folks know that they are dead to me.

Laugh!
