SloJoe’s puppet masters know this will cause even more problems in the supply chain. It’s being done on purpose, simply to cause more problems, that they hope people will cry out to goobermint to solve.

This conclusion is inescapable, it is impossible for them to be so wrong by accident.

What a bunch of us have been saying the whole time.

If the Biden Administration were merely incompetent, they’d do some things wrong, a few disastrously so, but they’d also do some things right, a few amazingly so. I envision a standard distribution (a bell curve); most complex issues they’d be mostly neutral or maybe a little off the median, with a few at the extremes where they either really do well or really screw up.
However, that has not been the case.

Instead, they have shown a striking propensity to always trend towards the wrong choice, and they choose the exact worst possible answer alarmingly often. The only exceptions have been cases in which their actions are predetermined by law (read: they MUST take a specific action and have no other option), and even then they try like hell to wriggle out of it. The bell curve is skewed WAY to the left, such that a middling/neutral solution is rare, and doing well is so unlikely as to be almost impossible.

That cannot be a coincidence, and is not adequately explained by random chance or incompetence. Statistically speaking, the only conclusion supported by the numbers is that they are TRYING to do everything wrong.

After thinking on it awhile, and remembering my own sortie into the life of election politics, this dawned on me.
Bleat Zero O’Rourke may actually not care if he runs a campaign so tone-deaf many people can’t think of a way he could actually win election for  Texas Governor.

Well, maybe he doesn’t care.

Maybe, he’s running so he can use up donations to this and to his previous campaigns that he’s accumulated and can’t legally touch to live on, as in travel around the state and generally have a good time on someone else’s dime instead of spending his own money.
Both federal and most state finance laws ban spending those funds on anything except actual campaign expenses, but does allow just about anything that’s even barely connected to count.

Just a thought.

The difference between them and us is that we want Law to be the guardian of Justice for the People. They want Law to be the guardian of their Absolute Power.

This is the proggie notion that exercising the natural right of self defense and the right to keep and bear arms is wrong because the state has the purported ‘monopoly of violence’.
In other words: Self Defense Killing Bad – Government Killing Good.

Oh, and when you read crap like this, make notes.

Kyle Rittenhouse’s Defense Was Strong. It’s Also a Threat to the Rule of Law. 

In August 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse brought an AR-15 to downtown Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the name of law and order. As protests and riots raged in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake, the 17-year-old Blue Lives Matter enthusiast felt called to serve as an amateur armed guard for a Kenosha car dealership. He ended up shooting two unarmed protesters dead and blowing off another’s right bicep — without committing a crime.

Or so a Wisconsin jury found on Friday. After three and half days of deliberation, the jurors found that Rittenhouse was not guilty of reckless homicide, intentional homicide, or recklessly endangering public safety. This verdict was legally defensible. Yet it also exposed the anarchy latent in America’s peculiar combination of lax gun regulations, expansive self-defense rights, and mass gun ownership.

Fifty years ago this week ‘The Theme From Shaft’ kept John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ from getting the #1 spot on Billboard’s Top 40 and and it descended thereafter. I’m fine with that because I think ‘The Theme From Shaft’ was a way better song. Musically, and morally, superior.

Mother Jones couldn’t even put one of their own “beloved” above their cause. He didn’t even use a gun in his suicide, but they stood on his still warm body to promote gun control.

Mother Jones Pushes Red Flag Laws After Gun Control Activist Kills Himself

Mother Jones pushed red flag laws after announcing that former executive director of Everytown for Gun Safety, Mark Glaze, killed himself.

The New York Times noted, “Glaze, who was widely considered a founding figure in the modern gun-control movement, died on Oct. 31 in Scranton, Pa.”

NYT went on to point out that Glaze’s death was a suicide.

A Facebook post from Glaze’s family members reads, in part:

As we celebrate the life of our beloved Mark, we would be remiss not to mention his harrowing struggle with alcohol, depression, and anxiety. In the last years of his life, Mark actively sought help. He completed several treatment programs, with the hope of finding peace and breaking free of the addictive cycle that caused him to feel so desperately alone and in pain. Mark took his own life while being held on DUI charges at the Lackawanna County Prison. While it may be difficult to discuss this specific cause of death, with suicide as the tenth leading cause of mortality in the United States– the numbers and instances are too frequent and increasing to ignore.

Mother Jones reported Glaze’s suicide, then pushed red flag laws

There is no indication that Mark used a gun to kill himself. Still, he was a victim of a scourge he worked to oppose. Nearly two-thirds of all gun deaths in the US are suicides, according to Mark’s former organization. To fight gun violence is to fight suicide. Research shows that people who have access to guns are far more likely to kill themselves than people who don’t.

Glaze and others in his field advocated for the enactment, in 19 states and DC, of so-called Red Flag laws, which allow local police to confiscate guns from people who have threatened to harm themselves or others. These orders aim to stop not just murder, but suicide. Evidence suggests they are most effective at preventing people from shooting themselves.

Biden Accused Of Mocking Americans’ Intellect: ‘You Think They’d Understand What We’re Talking About?’

President Joe Biden was accused of mocking Americans’ intelligence on Saturday during remarks that he gave in the morning as he answered only a few questions from reporters.

Biden made the remarks about Americans’ knowledge of supply chains as he said that the pandemic has impacted the lives of every American.

I can guarantee you, this is another one of those times when the moron’s staff wondered why they ever let him take questions, as he once again announces he’s a clueless figurehead.

Biden: $450K to illegal immigrants? “Garbage report”! NYT, ACLU: *Ahem*

This leaves Biden in another jam entirely of his own making. What does he do now? He only has two choices, neither of them palatable.
One: Biden explains why he actually is incentivizing more illegal immigrations (by his own statement to Doocy, no less!) by making these payouts and making the border crisis worse.
Two: Biden tells the Department of Justice to drop the settlement, forcing the ACLU to go to court and end up defending Trump’s border-enforcement policy. Door #1 loses moderates and suburban votes, and Door #2 loses progressives and activists.

Oh, and let’s not forget that Door #1 has an extra added bonus of becoming the centerpiece of a GOP campaign in the fall against vulnerable House Democrats. And there are a lot more of those than Biden thought before Tuesday’s elections.

Even more importantly, however, this episode demonstrates that Biden really doesn’t have a clue as to what is happening in his own administration. Biden either didn’t know about this settlement or forgot it so entirely that he couldn’t recall it when asked. This doddering performance is why Biden doesn’t take many questions from reporters in the first place, and why Americans have begun to lose confidence in Biden’s abilities. And they may well be wondering at this point who’s really running the White House.

The Americans I’ve been hearing from haven’t ‘begun to lose confidence in Biden’s abilities’, they knew from the start his abilities were already non-existent.
And their wondering about ‘who’s really running the show’ is only a question of who, not of ‘is it’.
SloJoe is a meatpuppet and that’s merely being confirmed every day.

This is how the government libs funnel money to favored groups. They invite a favored group to sue them with the intention of “settling” for big bucks and no intention at all of ever defending the case, regardless of the merits

We are ruled by corrupt thugs. Fortunately, they’re also incompetent.

BLUF:
Which brings me to dominos. “I think parents need to be assured that you’re going to have more support than you think,” Solas remarked, “because it’s like a domino effect. When one parent speaks out, another parent feels like it’s safe for them to speak out. And you just need one person to start that.”

The sound you hear is the sound of the dominos beginning to fall, one after the next. I hope that their cascading collapse is coming soon enough and will be widespread enough to head off the larger, more devastating collapse that would likely ensue in the absence of that movement of catharsis.

Garland Just Tipped Over The Dominoes:
Parents across the country have suddenly woken up to the wokeness haunting their schools and poisoning the minds of their children.

Destruction of the family has always been at the center of the collectivist project. In chapter two of The Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels point out that the destruction of private property will never be complete until the “abolition [Aufhebung] of the family” is accomplished. The dream is perennial among snarling misanthropists. A couple of years ago, an interview in The Nation with a radical feminist explained that if you “want to dismantle capitalism” then you have to “abolish the family.”

It is worth keeping that in mind as the little drama of Merrick Garland versus the parents of America unfolds. I wrote about the attorney general’s absurd but troubling memorandum shortly after it was released on October 4. As all the world knows (but only some precincts of the world admit), Garland threatened to mobilize the entire police power of the state against parents. Why?

Because parents across the country have suddenly woken up to the wokeness haunting their schools and poisoning the minds of their children. The school boards, many of which are staffed by leftists, are pushing the Marxist ideology of critical race theory, virtue-signaling mask mandates, and forcing noisome gender identity politics on primary and secondary school students.

Most parents don’t like that. They pay for the schools. The school board (in theory) works for them, and they, the parents, have been vocal in making their displeasure known.

When the story becomes the person running to organization, not the organization’s mission, than that person needs to go.

NRA Board Member Calls for CEO Wayne LaPierre’s Removal
Roscoe ‘Rocky’ Marshall argues that the organization’s board should also be removed as the association battles corruption allegations

A National Rifle Association board member called for the removal of the organization’s entire board and Chief Executive Wayne LaPierre, saying the actions were required for meaningful reform of the nonprofit gun-rights group as it battles corruption allegations.
The unusual move came in a series of legal filings Friday by Roscoe “Rocky” Marshall, an NRA board member since early this year, who is seeking to intervene on behalf of the association’s members in a continuing legal battle in state court in New York between the organization and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Ms. James last year filed a lawsuit against the NRA, Mr. LaPierre and other current and former executives, alleging that NRA insiders violated the state’s nonprofit laws by illegally diverting tens of millions of dollars from the group through excessive expenses and contracts that benefited relatives or close associates.
Ms. James’s office says the corruption is so deep at the NRA that the group should be dissolved.
Mr. LaPierre and the NRA have denied the allegations, claiming the legal action by Ms. James—a Democrat—is politically motivated.
In Friday’s filings, Mr. Marshall opposed the attorney general’s effort to break up the group, saying that it would unfairly punish the NRA’s millions of members for the alleged sins of the group’s leaders. He backed Ms. James’s central allegations of corruption and mismanagement, calling Mr. LaPierre’s regime an “executive cancer that has threatened and continues to threaten the NRA’s ability to serve its members and the public interest.”
He said the board, rather than conducting effective oversight, has been a passive rubber stamp for Mr. LaPierre and his “cronies.” Mr. Marshall is part of a small group of dissident directors on the NRA board, which overwhelmingly has backed Mr. LaPierre.
Mr. Marshall called for the court to appoint a temporary receiver to take charge of the NRA and oversee the election of a new board, which could replace current management. Mr. Marshall, who has a long background as a business executive, volunteered himself for that post.
The legal move comes after the judge overseeing the case earlier this month rejected a motion by two NRA members to intercede to represent the rights of members. The two had argued that NRA members have interests distinct from the NRA leaders who are the focus of the attorney general’s complaint.
As a director, Mr. Marshall similarly is seeking to intervene on behalf of NRA members, and has the same lawyers as the rejected parties.
In a statement, Ms. James said: “While we continue to review this motion, we are glad to hear that Mr. Marshall agrees that Wayne LaPierre and his top lieutenants must be removed from the NRA.”
The NRA released a statement from its second vice president, Willes K. Lee, who said, “It is unfortunate that Mr. Marshall aligns himself with those who continually attempt to intervene in the handling of NRA’s matters by its elected leadership. The NRA is a well-managed, actively engaged membership organization. We will continue on our current course of action—in the interests of our five million members and their Second Amendment freedoms.”
