…is an evil fossil fueled vehicle, you might just be a Warmist
The blog of the day is Greenie Watch, with a post on the White House saying high gas prices prove we need more “green” energy.
Double shot below the post, since I totally forgot to create a post yesterday, so, check out Moonbattery, with a post on a device that sounds an alarm when a Thoughtcrime occurs.
Look at those horrible single family homes!

The traitor Michael Flynn and his lawyer, traitor Sidney Powell, tried to have traitor Donnie declare martial law and have the military conduct and supervise a re-vote.
On Jan 6, the the Senate Parliamentarian’s office was the most pillaged in the Capitol, coincidentally where the boxed Electoral Votes were supposedly kept.
No wonder traitor Donnie is trying to block access to the communication records around Jan 6.
Exactly what did they pillage? And why do you keep calling people who have never even been charged with treason, traitors? Wouldn’t that be slander? I
I read yesterday that if the election were held today the Democrats couldn’t steal enough votes to win. Trump would beat Biden by 18-24 million votes. Even after the fraud factor.
LGB,
That is just wishful thinking. Trump isn’t any more (or less) popular than he was last November. Democrats have had time to institutionalize their fraud, based on what they learned last year, plus holding all the power since then. If the election were today, the outcome would be the same. It’s not about the legitimate votes any more. Some other process is at work deciding who wins elections and it isn’t free and fair elections. As ineffective as he was, the greatest threat to the permanent state and their wealth is still a second Trump administration. They will will let an insider win the Virginia governors race, but they would never let Trump win again.
L.G.,
They were apparently after the wooden boxes containing the electoral votes, but an aide had removed them as the insurgency began.
So you think calling the Jan 6 thugs traitors amounts to slander? LOL. No. But, they can sue me.
There is no credible evidence of significant fraud in the 2020 election. Unfortunately for tRump, the election was held 3 Nov 2020, and he lost bigly by 7 million votes. His traitorous minions wanted to delay the certification and hoped for enough traitorous Republicuns to hand him the presidency.
You see, tRump actually thought he had a chance to overturn the election with his Machiavellian machinations. His lawyers, Eastman, Ellis and Powell had their plans to steal the election and tRump went along with the scheme.
You don’t really believe the nonsense you spew, do you? I mean beside the raw meanness of it the very tempo of your comments are not befitting reason.
I read here you insinuated CarolAnn will have traitorous or treasonous children and you called a commenters wife a whore. What gives? Why would you talk like that to other commenters? Why on earth would you drag their wives and children into a political discussion? I don’t get it. I know I’m new here and haven’t got much credibility yet but your hateful nastiness just sounds wrong. They also said you are some hot shot rich medical type guy yet from what I’ve read of your Covid comments you don’t seem really informed.
Maybe you should turn down the insults and turn up the insight and make this a better blog for all of us?
L.G.,
Great suggestions. I’ll wait to see how others change their behaviors.
BTW, you don’t believe the nonsense you spew, do you?
Why on earth would you acting like a decent person and changing your behavior in a positive way depend on what others do? Have you no ability to control your own emotions and thoughts and actions? It doesn’t matter what anybody else does Elwood P. Dowd in your life and for you as a person. IT only matters what you do. Don’t you want to become a better, more tolerant, more understanding and charitable person? What would be wrong with you improving yourself and your interaction with others regardless of what they do? As an outsider I can see your soul needs some soothing. You could sure use some love and understanding for yourself as well as others. You’re probably not a bad person you just act and sound like one on the internet. You don’t have to carry all that hate and admonition around. Dump it. Be the better person.
You can start by not answering a question with a question. Just answer what I asked in good faith and I will answer your questions in good faith. We don’t need to call each other names. Just so you know I’m not married and have no children so you won’t be temped to call innocent women and children disgusting names. Now isn’t that a relief?
Anti mask and anti vacc viewed continue to increase so of course we should allow and even celebrate free speech??
Free speech is not absolute
Fre speech does not give you the right to yell “FIRE!!!!” In a crowded theater now should it allow you to spread false information that kills such as masks don’t work or vaccines don’t work
What if there IS a fire in the theatre? If your fake shot works why do you care if others get them? You’re protected so mind your own business. If you believe masks work then wear one. Nobody’s stopping you. People have a right to hear all sides, even sides you don’t like or agree with and make their own decisions. Especially when a government is trying to force them to be injected with a medicine of questionable efficacy and known deadly side effects.
Therefore, like yelling fire in a theatre when there actually is a fire, disseminating information of any kind about this ridiculous Covid stuff is legitimate. They’ve lied to you so often about so much you can’t discern the facts from fiction. Besides, anyone who would believe a liar like Fauci who murders puppies has lost all credibility.
I bet you think Kyle Rittenhouse is a white supremacist that murdered two white men and wounded another in cold blood and deserves to be imprisoned for life or executed.
L.G. If your fake shot works why do you care if others get them?
The vaccinations are not fake, and the public health reason to advocate that most people get vaccinated is to reduce the spread of disease. For some reason the virus prefers unvaccinated Americans by 10 to 1. Right-wingers believe the CDC, NIH, FDA and doctors are lying about patients.
known deadly side effects… What deadly side-effects have you identified from the Covid vaccines? (Hint: There are none).
All we can do is call out the right-wing lies and disinformation, and tell the truth. We understand that right-wingers are promoting anarchy to support the right-wing authoritarian takeover of the United States.
As usual, Hairy hatred of facts and law drives his beliefs.
The statement “can’t yell ‘fire!’ in a crowded theater,” is often used by people to support the suppression of free speech.
In the 1919 case of Schenck vs. United States, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. wrote that the right of free speech did not extend to “falsely yelling fire in a crowded theater.”
As L.G. Brandon notes above, one can yell “fire!” in a crowded theater if there is a fire, a distinction that Hairy and others who hate the idea of the free expression of ideas miss all the time.
However, what they also miss is the fact that Schenck vs. United States dealt with a person who was convicted under the Espionage Act for distributing anti-war pamphlets during World War I. Schenck had printed and distributed pamphlets urging men to not sign up for the military draft and Justice Holmes, who had served in the military during the Civil War, took affront that one could saying such heinous things.
It is difficult to imagine that even Hairy would say that people cannot discuss America’s participation in military action. (Remember the burning of draft cards during the Viet Nam war?)
The Supreme Court ruled similarly in Debs v. United States, and Frohwerk v. United States.
In the subsequent years, Holmes began to see the problem with the idea that the government could restrict speech simply based on the idea that it doesn’t like what is being said.
In the subsequent 13 years, Holmes and later Justice Brandeis completely walked back the idea that one could not yell “fire in a crowded theater.”
Subsequent cases developed the law that illegal speech must present a “clear and immediate danger” to harm in order to be suppressed. Clearly discussing mandates does not meet that criteria.
Many people are so enamored with the idea of suppressing speech, they don’t realize or refuse to acknowledge that the Supreme Court’s ruling no longer says what those who want to suppress speech believe.
(What makes this particular point frustrating is that I have discussed this here before. Hairy knows what happened and yet still tries to rock the lie as he hates the First Amendment and any law or cases that won’t allow the suppression of speech with which he disagrees must be banned.)
Such it the life of the left, where they hate education, they hate free speech, and they hate the exchange of ideas, and they hate anything that shows them hating freedoms.
All the left has is hate.
The antidote to lies and disinformation is not suppression but the truth.
for example a Con might type: The Covid vaccines are killing Americans!
The truth is that there is no evidence to support that claim.
The Covid vaccines are not vaccines!
The truth is that the vaccines ARE vaccines, in that they stimulate the immune response against the target virus.
Masks don’t work!
The truth is that there is a range of effectiveness of masks. Homemade cloth masks are better than none, but barely. Paper medical masks and N95 masks are much better.
Not all issues are all or none.
All the right has is dishonesty.
Yet the left, who hates truth, doesn’t want truth out there.
That’s the point.
That’s an interesting point as the CDC changed their definition of what a “vaccine” is. Before COVID, it was defined one way, now it is defined differently.
Funny how the left gets caught in its own lies and then tries to blame those they hate.
Then again, all the left has is hate.
gitarcarver once again displays his dishonesty.
He’s never been interested in the truth.
Then again, all gitarcarver has is disinformation.
“The antidote…is not suppression but the truth”. I don’t believe Facebook, Twitter, YouTube , ect., heard you….
Just when you think Johnny can’t say anything more moronic, up he comes with “free speech doesn’t give one the right to spread ‘false information’ “. Of course it does, moron-you can stand on a street corner and tell everyone your Christ if you want to. And you start your “argument” from the false premise that you know what’s false information and what isn’t.
The Hirsute One errs:
The problem isn’t yelling, “Fire!” in a crowded theater, but the damage that such action causes, if there is a trampling stampede of people fleeing. If you announce, “Hey, there is no fire, but I’m about to yell ‘Fire!’ to test the legal principle,” you are then perfectly allowed to yell, “Fire!” in a crowded theater, because no harm follows.
The speech isn’t criminalized, the consequences are.
You can certainly state that masks are useless. Here in the Bluegrass State, Bourbon County public schools are going to go virtual again for a week due to a spike in COVID-19 cases, yet the schools have had a mask mandate in place since the beginning of the school year.
The Sunshine State, in which Governor Ron DeSantis has been fighting the attempts at dictatorial orders from Washington, has also seen the lowest rates of COVID infections in the nation, despite a larger than average elderly population.
I am actually of the same mind as you Professor hale. I was just repeating something I read on some blog. Not vetted. I figure at this point the leftists have as you said institutionalized voter theft and election fraud to the point where they will never loose an election they don’t want to loose. Besides, when you have both the courts and the media running cover for you winning is automatic.
I said yesterday during the day:
That being said I think there is a good chance that Rittenhouse is guilty on all charges ***because of how they lay out the rules to him.*** If on the first charge you find him in self-defense then do not go on to the others, but if you find he was guilty then you can go on to the others.
An update:
Last night the Jury requested a hard copy of the rules issued by the judge to find him guilty or innocent based upon the defense’s case of self-defense.
If you read nothing else of what I write:
One must remember the overarching concept of this trial for the left is to deny Americans the right to self-defense using a weapon. IF this jury gives them a win in a court of law then they have set a precedent that is bone-chilling.
In the future, it will be impossible to defend yourself with a weapon and you are supposed to just stand there and let them kill you. The Prosecution said as much by saying that if you bring a GUN you are the provocateur.
IF YOU BRING A GUN:
In the USA today we have 13 states that have what is referred to as Constitutional carry which is the legal right in the U.S. to carry a firearm without a permit or license as enshrined by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. Because of long-standing debate on the issue, constitutional carry is implemented at the state level instead of the federal level.
IN the meantime there are several more states that have this legislation on the dockets and are expected to pass.
The left is no longer attempting gun control but rather is using CULTURE to force the restriction of guns rights.
Culture? Yes if you look at every state there are hundreds of laws still on the books that are not enforced and would never be forced. For instance. No putting an apple pie on the window sill on Tuesdays. You could be arrested for this but never would be as Culture has bypassed this law.
The left has changed tactics and the right needs to keep up. Again Litigation and culture. Make no mistake this is a cultural revolution and Rittenhouse is one of a million attacks on the constitution and culture in this nation by a communist left.
Not just culture. They are practicing lawfare. They are intentionally bringing charges that they know are not warranted in order to punish the accused with the legal process itself. This is why they wanted him to be in jail awaiting trial. So they could punish him harder, even if he later won his case. Defending against a murder charge is punitively expensive, even if you win. Charging an innocent person will still bankrupt them. That is the goal. Send the message that it doesn’t matter what the law says. If you shoot a perp, you will be prosecuted. Like in Europe, you have no right to self defense. Ergo, you have no need for weapons.
When the judge threw out the weapons charge, there should have been a charge of contempt against the prosecutor for even bringing such an uncontestable charge. It was simply a matter of measuring the gun. But Democratic party activist prosecutors always see the law in terms of the outcome they want, not what the legislation actually says.

One of those states is Kentucky, where the General Assembly passed, and then-Governor Matt Bevin (R-KY) signed into law, the requirement for a concealed carry permit was eliminated. The Pennsylvania General Assembly is now set to pass a similar law, but Governor Tom Wolf (D-PA) has promised to veto it.
In Lexington, while there have been far too many murders in 2021, and the city is on path to set a new record, the homicide rate works out to 12.47 per 100,000 population, while in Louisville, our largest, and worst city, the homicide rate is a staggering 24.11 per 100,000.
Philadelphia laughs, and says, “Hold my beer!”, and is at a current 34.56 murders per 100,000 population rate! The concealed carry permit requirement in Pennsylvania doesn’t seem to have stopped or even slowed down the gang bangers!
