So committed are these staffers, Efron confesses, that they plan to work right up until the final moments on inauguration day, rushing to ensure that every possible tax-payer dollar is disbursed before a Republican administration can turn off the spigot. [More]
I find it hard to believe there’s nothing the Republican-controlled House can do to stop this in its tracks– for instance, could House Oversight announce an audit and order a freeze on non-operating cost disbursements pending its completion? What about letting activist employees know they’ll be fired in January if they keep it up?

But we must receive your contribution by Dec 31st for you to take advantage of the credit for 2024. Postmarks don’t count and when you mail it does not count. We have to have received it before the end of 2024. [More]
“Who will help me plant the seed?” asked the Little Red Hen.
Funny, how everyone expects bread.
Police illegally sell restricted weapons, supplying crime [More]
It’s a prickly issue, alright…
On the one hand, I see the danger.
On the other, it seems like Democrats could use this to call for destruction rather than resale to the public…
If government just followed the law, we woudn’t have this problem.

The county’s new top prosecutor highlighted Illinois’ assault weapons ban as a key tool in tamping down the violence she said has overshadowed the region… [More]

Forget it, Jake. It’s Chi-Town.

By Pardoning Hunter, Joe Biden Covers Up His Own Influence-Peddling Crimes [More]
Who else will he pardon on his way out?
That’s another reason why they keep him propped up in office, because a pardon issued by someone who is not competent to issue it would hardly be legal.
In other words, the president’s not pardoning them, his handlers are.

Trump Needs to Make an Example of General Milley [More]
Trump needs to make an example of himself.
We see picks he praises and then comes to regret happening time after time after time with the guy, the latest being Pam Bondi, with all signs being he’s going to dig his heels in for her.

The cartels exist because Mexico wants them to. [More]

Received via email:
Now if he only keeps his promises…
Investigators believe, judging from surveillance video and evidence collected from the scene, that the shooter had at least some prior firearms training and experience with guns and the weapon was equipped with a silencer, the official said. [More]
So much for that reform not being hysterically attacked, even though it had no bearing on the outcome. Now all they need is to tie him in with right to life.
At least he appeared to respect the law enough to stay just on the outskirts of Manhattan’s “sensitive area”:
Camo is a combination of black, brown, dark grey, dark green. So it would technically be legal. [More]
Not to put too fine a point to it but woodland camo includes sand, which is recognized as a color. Ditto for desert camo and beige. And those aren’t the only palette combinations.
The point of being so specific is that her proposed law is, and sticking to the letter of it shows what a cluster**** it would be in practice, just like “assault weapon” characteristics bans.
‘Girls Gone Wild’ exploited underage girls, crew members told ‘don’t take no for an answer’ [More]
So why is Sniff Doggy Doo with is “underage settlement” still an in-demand “star”?
The inbox is still full and I’ve got to leave for a doctor’s appointment.
Sorry to those I couldn’t get to. I’ll try to pick up what I can tomorrow.
