We’re the Only Ones ‘Do as I Say…’ Enough

A deputy sheriff in Calaveras County was arrested last month for allegedly being an addict in possession of a firearm… Ball has a history of alcohol and opiate abuse, investigators say, adding that he’d recently relapsed. [More]

So they knew he was an out-of-control armed junkie who by law is not allowed to have a gun? And turned him loose on the rest of us?

The sheriff is saying “investigators discovered…” about multiple rehab attempts, but the way this is carefully worded avoids the question of if they were in the dark about his condition from the outset.

It’s too early to assume anything. We’ll see if he fits any narrative-exploitable profile. If I had to bet I’d say he won’t. And if they do try to tie him in with heightened “anti-FBI rhetoric” by “conservatives,” there’s nothing being said that they don’t own.

A Tempered Victory

…Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced a victory in its Campos v.

Probing for a Vulnerability

The head of the preeminent scientific journal The Lancet’s COVID-19 origins Commission is ‘convinced’ that the virus came out of a lab and says that a real investigation is being blocked. [More]

Quick– what can we find to discredit him? Barring any easily disprovable accusations, we can always fall back on him being white, and therefore a de facto racist.

Oh, crap, he’s a Bernie supporter. Now, what do we do?

Maybe we can exploit the fact that he’s married to a woman

Doing the Job Truthful Americans Won’t Do

A careful review of the official transcripts of its eight long hearings shows the committee repeatedly made connections that weren’t there, took events and quotes out of context, exaggerated the violence of the Capitol rioters, and omitted key exculpatory evidence otherwise absolving former President Donald Trump of guilt. While in some cases, it lied by omission, in others, it lied outright. It also made a number of unsubstantiated charges based on the secondhand accounts—hearsay testimony—of a young witness with serious credibility problems. [More]

So who are you going to heed to form an opinion on Liz Cheney? These guys or Kevin Costner?

I’d love to believe your stats, pal, I really would, but you’re going to have to be more specific than that. I also wish we were living in a society where there is no need to wonder if you’re just trolling to see who bites and spreads fake stats. Because, like I said, I’d love to believe this.
