Today we  celebrate Dads. Fathers. Men who are there for their children….

Some of us are lucky we had Fathers. Some not so much. I was lucky.

Thanks Dad, for being there.

It is also my Dad’s Birthday, So Happy Birthday!

B

In their reporting of Trump’s speech regarding the Jan 6 riot. 

They really need to label their “News” program as an Op-ed instead.

Fathers day is Sunday.

So is “Juneteenth” (snicker)

It may be training, it may be bravery.

It doesn’t matter.

Some cops can get the job they are paid to do, done.

And that is all that matter, isn’t it?

I mean, what other funding are they cutting to pay for the 1 Billion dollars in Aid to the people of Ukraine?

Are they cutting some Social Programs? The Military? Federal Payroll? Other aid to other countries? Aid to Illegal Migrants? Covid relief? Senators salaries?.

I haven’t heard about any cuts, have you?

Yet here we are, spending another billion dollars that we don’t have….and the folks in Washington (Experts, all) are confused as to why inflation is growing……First the Coid relief that spent money that the US didn’t have, then we just keep adding more and more debt….

Scary that they can’t seem to grasp that fact, innit?

My AR-15 “Assault Rifle” “Weapon of War” Identifies as a golf club

And the High Standard Capacity magazine is a golf bag.

The ammo identifies at Golf tees.

Thanks for noting this.

Now leave us alone.

So south of DeMotte, Indiana out in the cornfields. At or near 100% humid as well.

No wonder the corn grows so fast.

ETA: that is a real temeprature number, not a “Heat Index” or “Real Feel” number.

The Congressional Star Chamber Investigation into the Jan 6 riot keeps using the term “The Big Lie”.

Yet the fact is that at least 40% of Democrat voters and many more Republican voters believe that there were some shenanigans with the vote of 2022.

Simply claiming that there were none, that the vote was clean, has not convinced anyone, Democrat or Republican. Claiming it now makes them look like fools, and implies that we, the citizenry are fools.

We are not. We can see the irregularities, we can see the oddities, the changes in the election procedures that caused confusion, the covered windows and the exclusion of observers and other oddities that led to questions…..the sudden changes in vote counts that defied all logic.

Instead of addressing these, they simply claim that it is all a “Big Lie”. I doubt that they are convincing themselves, much less the citizenry of the US.

I still am waiting for them to actually CHARGE Donald Trump with anything, much less convict him (wait, the can’t convict him of anything as they are not a court….)

And when they claim Big lie, it isn’t like the Dems and the Media haven’t liked to us over and over……Remember, all of those “Conspiracy Theories about Covid that turned out to be true….

I mean, dressing up and getting ready for a riot, while not a great idea, isn’t really a crime.

Or, at least is wasn’t in all the other unrest, especially when the Antifa folks did it.

But THESE folks are (supposedly) White Nationalists….which is also not a crime (not that I approve, but if they can ban one set of beliefs, they can ban others….).

If (and it is a great deal of If) these folks aren’t Feds or on the Federal payroll, then this is still a demonstration of double standards…..Lots of Left Approved Groups dressed up with hard body armor and riot shields and clubs and MARCHED to the riots….and police stood by and watched….But that was just before the election and therefore just Freedom of Assembly and such… This time it is (supposedly) a Right Wing group so they are Un-Approved and therefore subject to different standards.

(and we are supposed to believe that 30+ men all climbed into the back of a 12 ft U-Haul truck to go to the riot? Really?)

Look: I am all for making people follow reasonable standards of behavior in public and when interacting with their fellow citizens with whom they might disagree….. But let us be consistent here. Not one standard for the Leftists and another standard for the (supposed) Right.

Of course this could, as some feel, simply be an op by the FBI or another Fed group to make the Right look bad… , especially what with the timing and the Show going on in Congress to Link His Orangeness with the White Supremacist folks and Jan 6th and all that….

Change my mind….

Perhaps my source was correct:

I mean, they are giving the warning but also saying that is is “unlikely to happen”, so take it for what it is….

Energy grid operator alerts about possible summer blackouts
An energy grid operator for the first time is warning power companies in Wisconsin of the possibility of rolling blackouts this summer

Thanks Brandon, for all your wonderful leadership.
