I’m Goin’ Down to the River Jordan

Critics lash out at Biden after attack kills 3 US service members in Jordan: ‘Hit Iran now’ [More]

But…but Lloyd said…

McConnell and Graham and Bill Kristol are champing at the bit.

Border security, not so much.

Who’s willing to die for this? Explain what “winning” looks like and what that will take.

Baldwin Indictment is Karma for Gun Prohibitionist Who Made a Point of Being Obnoxious About It

With a history of personal nastiness combined with repeated demands to lay claim to the rights of his countrymen, it’s natural that the targets of Baldwin’s obsession would see the humor in his becoming victim of his own hubris. [More]

Or as Shakespeare wrote, “Hoist with his own petard…”

Helpless, Helpless, Helpless

My wife and I play these scenarios over in our head all the time. We’ve practiced going out through the back seat to get our kids out of our car if we are carjacked. [More]

And if the people who don’t obey the citizen disarmament edicts you demand decide not to let you…?

What kind of non-man admits to the world he leaves the safety of his wife and children, to the mercies of predators?

And what about Fang Fang?

Educate Yourselves

Firefly is a decentralized, blockchain-based education ecosystem designed to support the worldwide homeschool community, teachers, and content creators, by providing a digital marketplace to buy and sell quality education content and services outside of the government-run system and away from its destructive policies. [More]

Long time readers will remember musician Jordan Page, an artist I think created one of the most inspiring RKBA songs I’ve ever heard, “Arm Yourselves”:

He and his wife have started a homeschooling education resource those of you with children ought to look at. The link takes you to an email I just got from him that I copied and pasted on my WOG Placeholder site.

Pride Goeth Before the Fall

Proud Boy Marc Bru sent to prison tells court he’d storm Capitol again [More]

I guess he felt he had to lose, but I’m wondering if his lawyer advised him on what parole boards look at.

And I couldn’t help but notice:

Trump falsely told his followers the election had somehow been rigged against him…

Y0u’re quite the “real reporter,” aren’t you, Brian Niemietz…?

I guess knowing the tone set by the Daily News, he’s hoping there’ll still be a placwe for him after the dust settles.

Empty Threat?

President Trump Calls on ‘All Willing States’ to Deploy Their National Guards to Texas to Defend U.S-Mexico Border as Red State Alliance Grows to 25 [More]

While the rest of his statement plays well with MAGA voters, calling for that and not having checked to see if anyone would do it seems like more of the same impulsiveness that is one of his most vulnerable flaws, and can’t serve well in his current legal cases.

Because Nothing Says ‘Safer’ than Giving Totalitarian Control Freaks More Power Over You!

California Sen. Scott Wiener is introducing a new set of bills to make streets safer across the state, including one that would change how you drive. [More]

Well parroted, “real reporters” Tony Cabrera and Lena Howland!

The rest of you, bend to his demands or else!

And say, if we mandate inhibitors on cars…

Slow Going Ahead

Just back from an EGD, a follow-up to a procedure I had last year. Things are looking good, but they did have to put me under and, in addition to getting a late start today, I’m not 100% in terms of energy and ambition.

Right now I’ve got to finalize a draft article and I’ll probably have another one to publicize later today. And there are dozens of email news tips waiting for attention, which I may not get to all of.

Anyway, please hold off on sending more. As regulars know, I don’t post on weekends except to publicize any articles that may post, so I’ll do what I can for today and otherwise be back on Monday.

The Definition of Insanity

For seven years, this initiative has allowed public officials to hear about the real issues impacting the community from the residents themselves. [More]

So how many more years will they carry on this farce before they realize what they’re doing isn’t working? Or more likely, they know, but going through the motions is more personally career-enhancing than admitting they’re clueless.

Through a Glass, Darkly

Murphy has filed a lawsuit against Sunglass Hut’s parent company after a store’s facial recognition program falsely identified him as a robber. As a result, he was arrested and jailed, which led to him being sexually assaulted. [More]

How is it the state can assume custodial control of someone but not assume a duty to protect with attendant liability — and no qualified immunity?
