Seems that now that things are no longer politicized re: Covid, the police in Victoria, Australia want to be friends with the populace again.

Sure, that’ll happen soon.

DoYa think that anyone will ever trust the police there again? They were Soldiers of the State, and just followed orders….never questioning as to their legality or the rightness of those orders…or the fact that some protests were acceptable (BLM protests) and some weren’t (“No Masks, No lockdown!”). One was a useless and idiotic protest, the other questioned and threatened the power of the State.

Sure, you can trust them….

The War in Ukraine seems to have put the entirety of Europe in a position where Covid has….Vanished.

No one is mentioning it anymore. Refugees are not asked about their vaccination status. No one really cares any more. Odd, innit?

Such a change from 3 months ago. Almost as it the whole thing was made up and isn’t needed as a Crisis anymore.

So the Federal Election Commission fines the Clinton Campaign for their outright lies as to how they spent their money paying for the creation of the “Steele Dossier”….In other words, paying Fusion GPS to make up a bunch of lies about Trump.

The campaign chose to label the expenditures for the lies and the report as “legal advice and services” rather than “Make Up Dirt on our Opponent”. and got fined $113,000 for it…which is less than a rounding error in their finances and was, of course, really paid for by donors…No one in the Clinton campaign was in any way personally penalized for their lying…no individual person or persons went to jail or had to fork over their own personal cash for their malfeasance.

Will the Federal Government require them to pay for all the money spent investigating the claims in the fictional (but paid for by the DNC and Hillary campaign) Steele Report? How many millions of dollars were spent investigating a bunch of lies? Lies that the DNC and Hillary’s folks KNEW were lies, but allowed Mueller to investigate anyway….Shouldn’t the DNC folks pay for that cost?

The sad part is that lots of folks, (mostly rabid DNC supporters….. like some bloggers that used to be linked here),,, still believe the lies put forth by, and paid for by  the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Of course, many of these folks cannot tell the difference between News and Op-Ed, or even between News and Steven Colbert’s entertainment program (never forget that lots of them thought that Sarah Palin said “I can se Russia from my house!” as portrayed by Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live…they couldn’t tell the difference between comedy and real life)

The new “Billionaire Tax” that Biden wants to implement…

If he can figure out (and show) how taxing income that hasn’t happened yet is legal, and Constitutional. How exactly do you tax investments that are not yet sold and have not yet made the investor any money?

If he can show me (and I mean IRONCLAD Guarantee) that the Democrats (and, let’s face it, the current crop of RINOS) won’t simply spend it on some pet cause and leave us in the same ever increasing deficit mess we are currently in.

If he and his folks can explain how if that unrealized Capitol Gain that is taxed yearly will be refunded (with interest!) should that paper gain later become a paper LOSS if the stock that is taxed drops in value. (Nevermind any losses due to inflation).

His idea is poorly thought out, misnamed a “Billionaire” tax (’cause who doesn’t wanna see those super rich bastards get taxed more, amirite?) and if he would just stop using the term “Fair Share”. Fer chrissake, those people pay a far greater share of taxes per person than Joe or Jane Average.

Instead of raising taxes, perhaps stop spending money you don’t have.,,,, Reducing inflation would do more to help the average working stiff than all the taxes on the “Rich”.

And, remember, with the DNC types, the definition of “Rich” and “Wealthy” changes as they need more tax revenue. in a year or so, it will be down to those who make $200,000 a year….then $100K, the anyone who makes a wage that is grater than their ever moving poverty line.

“What’s the difference between a Ruble and a dollar?”

“About a dollar”.

The Federal Government is giving out a $10 gas card for each high-capacity-automatic-magazine-bullet that is turned in.

Details of where and when this exchange are to be made are unclear at this time as Joe Biden was incoherent and VP Harris was just cackling.

Urban Liberals are upset because they did not have time to buy any of those cartridges beforehand to get their share. Inner city liberal are upset because then what will they shoot each other with? Rural folks are upset because they need the gas since they have no pubic transportation and live father from work, and no one wants to turn in their ammo when there are ‘cans to shoot.
