But in Wisconsin gangs of armed looters and rioters can legally assault and murder minors that are prohibited from defending themselves..

An examination of protests in the past year or so will reveal that when the leftist crowd riots the cops get stand-down orders and the event is characterized as "peaceful protest" and activism in support of social justice. When anyone else riots or protests its an insurrection and threat to democracy which requires a merciless application of justice and enforcement of law and order.

The basic problem is leftist rioters get a pass from weak and gutless liberal government officials that worship an insane ideology so they don't care about the safety and security of their citizens. Which gives the "protesters" an exemption from the law when it comes to street violence. They can attack people in the streets, burn down buildings, destroy property, and loot stores without consequences. When a couple of them get shot dead and another wounded because they picked on the wrong guy they all piss and moan not fair!

Eric Adams, soon to be named by MSNBC's Joy Reid as the next Black White Supremacist.

For the first time I watched some of the proceedings during my lunchtime yesterday. When the defendant was being cross-examined, it appeared like the prosecutor was trying to create the conditions for the judge to declare a mistrial. Using lines of questioning that questioned the defendants 5th amendment right to silence and other lines of questioning the judge had previous advise against. The judge was clearly unhappy and vigorously lectured the prosecutor. So is the prosecution, expecting their case is not winnable given testimony and evidence to date looking for a mistrial, potentially attempt to re-try the defendant (and get their star witness to not ruin their case the 2nd time), and have a better chance at a conviction the 2nd time around or just have the case dismissed as a mistrial but leave it in the minds of the public informed of the circumstances of the shootings and the trial proceedings through MSM narratives that the kid is still guilty?

I assume the Russia conspiracy theorist crowd thinks meeting with foreign officials is a unique and suspicious activity so perhaps they are not aware that foreign governments have diplomatic personnel at Embassies and Consulates in order to interact with US government officials. And that incoming and sitting administrations hold these discussions and meetings as a matter of practice and official protocol.

What Biden is doing is handcuffing the domestic US oil & gas industry and begging the Saudi's and Russian's w/OPEC+ to raise production. While hurting the poorest of Americans the most that need to heat their homes this Winter along with higher prices for products that have high energy content. It sure ain't hurting me because I saw this clown car coming down the road about 8 moths ago and piled into really cheap energy and materials stocks and am doing pretty well. Its just the beginning of a bull market in commodities. So thank you Brandon!

6.2% YoY as reported this morning. If you look at statisticians like John Williams at Shadow Stats that run the numbers by factoring out all the smoke and mirrors adjustments made to the official CPI to lower the number as much as possible its a lot higher. But like life itself its all transitory so no worries..

Or are the buses racist because they are too tall? Or maybe the buses and bridges are conspiring together? Or maybe there are alternative routes to the beach? The possibilities are endless. A national debate on bridge height and standards may be needed. This is obviously the most pressing issue of our time. Good job Pete and don't worry about that little port back up issue. Maybe take a couple more months off. I rest easy knowing we have such capable and talented officials handling the federal agencies.

Lying only works when people believe you're telling the truth. The MSM's message is intended for the liberal base. Not for an audience like you and I that know they're full of crap. Their core audience has so much politically and emotionally invested in the narratives they push that its impossible for either the viewer or the media to admit they're invested in a series of lies and deceptions. What these self-absorbed liars can't comprehend is at this point they come off as comical. Who needs to stay up late for a good laugh from Saturday Night Live or some late show comic when you can just watch the Evening Network News and laugh yourself into a coma. Like, the border is secure! Hysterically funny. And Brandon is the greatest President ever. And the Moon is made of cheese!

Expecting Pete to solve the supply chain crisis is like expecting a Chicken to perform brain surgery. The difference is the Chicken won't solve the problem but will peck away and at least give it a try. By putting incompetent and useless people in charge this administration is simply f'ing up everything on purpose. The expectation that the idiots that voted for this clown will suffer the most gives me some comfort.

The trick is to hydrate early and you won't cramp up during the game.

The fundamental points of contention is that mandates are not laws. An administrative decision is not a law. A decree by a Mayor is not law. There is no emergency decree or law to revoke the Constitution or the Bill of Rights and the freedoms granted to the individual under those documents. Administrators, mayors, governors, and even the President are not allowed by the system to dictate law without legislative action or oversight from the judicial branch. That's why the end around to invoke some workplace standard for safety through OSHA. But OSHA specifically protects workers from workplace dangers. Not from some unquantified and nebulous threat from other workers. So what's the objectively measured threat? There's a chance I might get sick from you? What kind of chance? 1%, 10%, 100%. Let the administration present their facts in court and lets see what the threat is and let them make their case.

The line up of Dawkins, Feliciano, Morse, Williams, & Brown was at least functional. Losing Feliciano and Brown hurt. Ford is flat-out bad. Must be somebody better sitting out there on one of the other 31 practice squads. But given the context of a 3 point game getting your QB consistently hit while calling 47+ pass plays, in a 3 point game where your "D" surrenders just 3 FG's, vs. 9 touches for your RBs isn't a sound strategy. Giving up way too early on the run. Its almost like Daboll is letting his ego dictate the game plan in order to prove he's going to make it work. And will stick to it until it does. Way too predictable and maybe its time to drop the genius tag and call a more balanced game. The offense didn't need to be dominant or great yesterday, only average to beat the Jags. But for me it looks like they're swinging for the fences all the time instead of playing and calling a more situational game

He also needs to explain the thought process behind declining a 10 yard holding penalty on a 3rd and 5 which resulted in the Jags attempting and making a 55 yard FG to tie at 6-6. Was he afraid the defense would give up 15 yards on the subsequent 3rd down if he accepted it? At this time I said that I wouldn't be surprised if that 3 points in the difference in the game.

A while back on one thread or another I joked about getting your 9th booster was going to be necessary to keep your "fully vaccinated" status and sadly it looks like the direction we're being herded towards. But I think before that happens the majority is going to reach a different conclusion and refuse to go along while voting out the political establishment that is imposing this policy. I got my 2-shots with the second in late May 2021 but I'm not entertaining the idea of getting a 3rd shot booster or endless boosters forever. Viral mutations over time tend to be less lethal and there's no evidence to date that COVID-19 is any different. And the Merck treatment recently announced which has showed very good results in trials to date could be a game-changer treatment assuming safety and efficacy are significant. The initial data suggests this is true. And other treatments will be coming too. This will give doctors more options in deciding what approach is best for each patient and eliminate the need for the current one size fits all approach. This is going to require a modification to the current protocols which I suggest will be to effectively treat cases when they appear and vaccinate those most at-risk. But pushing endless booster forever? That's going away. To update Regeneron made a significant treatment announcement this morning. The religious like belief that vaccination is the only option is going to be severely tested.

I hesitate to call it fraud or intentional deception. But I think the debate can be resolved by breaking out the death stats into 2 categories. It comes down to the method that cause of death is assigned to these cases. Like the example I used where a person has contracted COVID but they are overweight, have diabetes, and high blood pressure. One argument is the cause of death is COVID because absent that the person might still be alive but you could also argue if they weren't overweight and diabetic they would have survived COVID so the cause of death is obesity. You can make a sound argument for either. That's why I think the purest way to look at it is the death count "with COVID" where co-morbidities or pre-existing conditions are present or "by COVID" when no co-morbidities or pre-existing conditions exist. Population cohorts show the majority of deaths are "with COVID".

As somebody that works professionally in health care analytics, commercial and clinical, spent 12 years in claim processing, payment processing systems, provider contracting, and member benefits business functions, and has personal experience with medical charges and coding I have a very informed perspective. I don't have any need to refer to trusted or un-trusted news sources. Its all firsthand. In fact much of the data we accumulate is provided via contracts to the CDC. What they know I know first. All I can say is you'd be surprised what they try to get away with when it comes to charges. Just last year a hospital made the "mistake" of billing my wife's hospitalization charges again using me as the patient. I guess they weren't satisfied with the $200K insurance payment and wanted more. A mistake? Sure, a mistake 3 times. Two of them got rejected but one was processed for a total of $626.248. When I called the insurance to bring it to their attention they reversed it. The also made the mistake of billing another $111K in outpatient charges to her. Which got rejected because of a lack of documentation plus no referrals or authorizations for outpatient services per the member plan. So fraud? Or just a mistake? There's a fundamental difference between "with COVID" and "by COVID" But you're guess is as good as mine. Maybe because they're already sick and the virus is just speeding up the process and pulling forward deaths of low life expectancy patients that would have otherwise occurred sooner rather than later in future time reporting periods. "With covid". So you've got somebody with COVID, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and they die. What's the cause of death? Well its obviously COVID I assumed based on what medical examiners are doing. It seems reasonable to expect that rarely do healthy people die unless by accidental death and rarely do healthy people die just "from COVID". The stats and the science support these conclusions.

Mistakes do happen. No system is perfect. But with COVID hospitals and providers have a financial incentive to skew their diagnosis coding towards COVID. So what do you expect them to do? If you've had any experience with hospitalization expenses for yourself or a family member that you have financial responsibility for handling you'll understand the US health care system is a racket driven by the pursuit of maximum revenue and charges. While the doctors and nurses do wonderful work with patients and treating the sick I can assure you their administrators and billing departments will have no pity or empathy for you.

There is a distinction between "death with COVID" vs. "death by COVID" missing from the discussion when it comes to death statistics and causes. Right now a guy with a positive COVID test riding a motorcycle that's killed crashing into the back of a semi is counted as a COVID death.

It was a lot closer than anyone would have expected. On any do-over I suspect Biden would not carry New Jersey by 16% given all the problems his administration has created.

It was a 19% gap in Murphy's favor a few months ago. The message is clear that as time passes voters at all levels are increasingly growing dissatisfied with the Democrats and their agenda. Mandates and threats to fire people aren't helping. But I doubt they listen. More likely they'll double down here. If the trend continues it will be a bloodbath in November 2022. The problem is the Republicans don't have any clear vision of things going forward other than opposing the fringe left agenda.

The designation of "special counsel" provides more autonomy and control than an investigation conducted directly through the AG's office. Which makes it more difficult, but not impossible, for politicians to hinder the legal process.

I'm confused. So he lied to the FBI which received the Steele dossier from the Clinton campaign knowing its contents were fraudulent but went ahead anyway and submitted it to the FISA court to get surveillance warrants on the Trump campaign under false pretense? That same FBI that said Danchenko lied to them. So when do Steele, the Clinton campaign people, and all the FBI guys that lied get arrested?

So will Brandon turn out to be the least popular baby name for 2021 and 2022?
