A Symbolic Gesture

In an email addressed to “The Phantom Lake Elementary Community” Monday, the principal described a swastika as a symbol of hate and as a symbol of peace. She apologized for not acknowledging sooner that a swastika in some cultures is a symbol of “peace and prosperity,” including she said in ‘Buddhism and Hinduism.’ Several parents took exception to the principal’s comments calling them “unacceptable” and “ill-informed.” [More]

I remember learning years ago– and I don’t have time to research it now– that my Uncle Nick’s Army unit was originally established as a Native American unit and their symbol was the swastika, but it was changed after Hitler rose to power.

The Second Not So Gentleman?

Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband assaulted his ex-girlfriend, three friends have told Dailymail.com. The Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, 59, allegedly struck the woman in the face so hard she spun around, while waiting in a valet line late at night after a May 2012 Cannes Film Festival event in France. One of her friends told DailyMail.com that the woman called him immediately after the incident, sobbing in her cab, and described the alleged assault. [More]

With the stipulation that, unlike the Red Flag laws his wife demands, we’re all innocent until proven guilty, I will say he doesn’t look like he’d dare try that with a man.

That and he knocked up the nanny? Is that child as ignored as Biden’s granddaughter? Kinda explains the abortion fetish…

Here’s one way he can punish his accusers and demonstrate his innocence.

If true, and if there’s no good reason, this is a test:

The conspiracy theorist in me says the intent is to sacrifice low-level FEMA pawns and provoke a low-hanging fruit first strike to crack down on the “greatest threat.”

I may start calling them URH: Unpopular Republicans for Harris

And naturally, the execrable Michael Steele is part of this cabal of Vichycon clowns who crammed so many RINOs into the Big Tent there was no room left for elephants.

If they prevail, there will never be a credible reason for voting Republican, making it fair to conclude that’s been the plan.

Better Safe Than Sorry

The Illinois Attorney General’s office has apologized to a federal judge demanding answers after implying his ruling against the state’s mass transit concealed carry ban has “safety implications.” [More]

And that is the difference between a Trump-appointed judge and what Kamala will put on the bench.

True, his won’t all be perfectly consistent. But you can bet hers will be.

Adventures in Baselessness

“As of today, there has been no response from you or your Department regarding the inquiry on July 12, 2024, seeking information on efforts undertaken by your Department to enforce laws prohibiting non-citizen voting. Given that the 2024 Presidential Election is in less than 34 days, your Department’s inaction and refusal to provide any information regarding its efforts to promote public trust and confidence in our elections is especially alarming,” they wrote.

Private Parts

Throughout the document, Smith argues that the actions Trump took to overturn the election were in his private capacity – as a candidate – rather than in his official capacity, as a president. [More]

Speaking of acting in a private capacity, how is that not what election interference apparatchik Smith is doing, and why can’t (haven’t) Republicans and SCOTUS put an immediate halt to it?

The Voice of the Workin’ Man

Harold Daggett — the union boss who has vowed to “cripple” the US economy if ports don’t ban automation and raise dockworkers’ wages sharply — had a Bentley convertible parked outside his sprawling mansion in New Jersey this week, exclusive photos obtained by The Post reveal. [More]

Think of it as his “fair share.”

The Monroe (County) Doctrine

Shoemaker submitted his original response to the complaint on Sept. 18, including a defense reading: “There was and will be no Constitutional violation in enforcing the statute because the phrase ‘bear arms’ is a 1791-era idiom referring to military or militia service. Plaintiffs have failed to plead their involvement in a militia.” [More]

He “loves history“? You can’t prove it by this.

This is the quality of moron presuming to detemine your rights in New York? What repercussions will this douche suffer?

Looks like the county prosecutor is just as big of an @$$hole.

To those praising the “Only One” for “deescalation,” this was elitism writ large. He knew who she was and who she knows. Imagine what he would have done to her if she weren’t the DA, that is, to you and me, for the same behavior.

All she had to do was “apologize,” and she’s back to having the uniforms put you and me behind bars for claiming our rights.

We’re from the Government and We’re Here to Help

Before the 1990 Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSA), only two notable mass shootings had occurred on school campuses. Since the passage of this legislation, many Americans can name over ten incidents without needing to research. [More]
