Murder, Mayhem, Confusion And A Los Angeles Welcome

Sadly, the nation is still reeling from 8% inflation, $4 gas prices, rampant crime and the crisis along the southern border, which finally made the front page. On Monday we read of a man who killed a teenager for his political views. This following Biden's disgusting speech in which MAGA Republicans were called threats to the very foundation of the Republic. In typical media fashion the story got little coverage and where & when it did there were key facts left out:
"An Associated Press report on the killing of a North Dakota teen by a drunk 41-year-old man over a "political argument" declined to note the alleged assailant reportedly thought the victim was part of a "Republican extremist group."
The Wednesday report from The Associated Press stated, "A driver charged with fatally striking a teenager in North Dakota allegedly told investigators he purposely hit the teen with his SUV after they had a political argument, according to court documents.".
Fox News Digital reported, "Court documents said he told a 911 dispatcher the teen was part of a Republican ‘extremist group’ and was calling people to go after him following an unspecified political argument."

The killer had a criminal record, confessed to the killing and he was out on the street within days after posting a $50,000 bond . As I recall Kyle Rittenhouse had bail set at $2 Million during the infamous "summer of love."
Then we had President Biden making a $6 billion pledge to global health projects and then suddenly & awkwardly meandered off stage at a NYC event. He looked confused and lost. It was sad to watch. I'm certain that the democrats will try to convince him not to run again. Hopefully, they'll catch him on a good day when he's not nodding off into a bowl of Tapioca.
We end another week in Biden's America with a special Los Angeles hello:
In California the homeless have rights. The "bad old days" when the mentally ill were kept in mental institutions and human derelicts were kept in shelters are over. These people are where they want to be and progressives intend to keep them right there, right in your face.
The Week:
Women's Rights Protests in Iran: "Iran restricted access to the Internet in large parts of the country on Thursday as authorities try to curb a women’s rights protest movement that has relied on social media to express dissent and rally support, while the U.S. imposed sanctions on Iran’s morality police.
The death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini late last week in police custody for allegedly violating Iran’s strict Islamic dress code has sparked demonstrations across the country . Protesters have clashed violently with security forces who used tear gas and fired live ammunition.
As the protests spread, authorities on Thursday expanded their campaign to restrict access to the Internet, tightening blocks on platforms such as Instagram and WhatsApp, according to Netblocks, an internet observatory that monitors global traffic outages. Social media apps have been widely used to organize and share footage of the protests."

I think we all can only wish that the protests will lead to regime change, even though deep down, we know the people of Iran are not strong enough to topple the regime.
Court lifts hold on Mara-A-Lago documents : "In a stark repudiation of Donald Trump’s legal arguments, a federal appeals court on Wednesday permitted the Justice Department to resume its use of classified records seized from the former president’s Florida estate as part of its ongoing criminal investigation.
The ruling from a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit amounts to an overwhelming victory for the Justice Department, clearing the way for investigators to continue scrutinizing the documents as they consider whether to bring criminal charges over the storage of of top-secret records at Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House. In lifting a hold on a core aspect of the department’s probe, the court removed an obstacle that could have delayed the investigation by weeks.
The appeals court also pointedly noted that Trump had presented no evidence that he had declassified the sensitive records, as he maintained as recently as Wednesday, and rejected the possibility that Trump could have an “individual interest in or need for” the roughly 100 documents with classification markings that were seized by the FBI in its Aug. 8 search of the Palm Beach property."

Will there ever be an indictment? I doubt it.
The indoctrination of the Military: " A diversity and inclusion training by the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado instructs cadets to use words that "include all genders" and to refrain from saying things like "mom" and "dad."
The slide presentation titled, "Diversity & Inclusion: What it is, why we care, & what we can do," advises cadets to use "person-centered" and gender-neutral language when describing individuals.
"Some families are headed by single parents, grandparents, foster parents, two moms, two dads, etc.: consider ‘parent or caregiver’ instead of ‘mom and dad,'" the presentation states. "Use words that include all genders: ‘Folks’ or ‘Y’all’ instead of ‘guys’; ‘partner’ vs. ‘boyfriend or girlfriend.’
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/air-force-academy-diversity-training-tells-cadets-to-use-words-that-include-all-genders-drop-mom-and-dad
Which leads us to the inevitable story which follows:
Pentagon bedeviled by recruitment failures: " The Pentagon has characterized the head winds in stark terms, saying its recruiting environment is the worst it has been since the end of the Vietnam War. Some of the military services will just barely meet their goals as the fiscal year ends later this month, officials said in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee. The Army, the armed forces’ largest branch, will miss its target by 30,000 soldiers, said Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.)."

NY AG files lawsuit against Donald Trump & family: "New York Attorney General Letitia James has sued former President Donald Trump , three of his adult children — Donald Trump Jr. , Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump — and senior executives at the Trump Organization for fraud, her office announced Wednesday.
The lawsuit alleges that the former president — with the help of his children and the executives mentioned in the filing — falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars in an effort to induce banks to lend money to the Trump Organization on more favorable terms and to obtain other economic and tax benefits."
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/n-y-attorney-general-files-165654538.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall
That lawsuit is the culmination of 3 years of investigating all things Trump. I wish I could say I see an indictment somewhere in our future, but I don't. The good news is that Trump has put off a decision to run again until after the midterm elections.
What have we learned?
The most important thing we learned is that there are consequences to divisive rhetoric. Joe Biden calling MAGA Republicans a threat to the very foundation of the Republic has already provoked violence and death and most likely will lead to more of it. How many people has Biden, idiotic as he is, convinced that half the country is a bunch of fascists? We don't have to look far to get an answer. One only need take a look at some of the comments here since the story was hoisted on our front page yesterday. Wasn't it the democrats who told us over and over again that words matter?
Then there is the matter of Joe Biden. He is failing badly. Remember: he only ran to oust Donald Trump. To secure the nomination he made a dirty deal with the far left contingent of the democratic party and served up an absolute hell of an agenda for the American people. Now he is incredibly unpopular. Far more than the unreliable polls indicate. He is the one that the GOP would love to run against in 2024. Let's face it: the democrats won't let him run again and they may have already convinced him not to run. This past Sunday on "60 Minutes" he now says: “Look, my intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”
That leaves us with the future of the world's oldest Constitutional Republic. Can it survive all that has been done to it in the past two years? Huge populations have walked across that southern border in the past 19 months. Crime is out of control in many cities. Working families are under economic pressure. I still remain optimistic. This nation survived a Civil War, a Great Depression and the tremendous social upheaval that began in the late 60's. The danger still remains and the danger comes from the American left. They are about to be ousted from power. The next time they have it, I believe they'll try to change the government, its norms, our system of justice and the Constitution itself.

"At one point, Donald Trump stated that he wanted Joe Biden, your current president, to do a good job, wanted him to be successful in a way that would improve the lives of the American people. Unfortunately, Joe is not capable. The results, they speak for themselves. Now, recently, Biden said, quote:
"Watch me. Proof of the pudding is in the eating." Well, Joe, we're watching and here's the pudding. Biden wandering aimlessly, totally dazed and confused at a public event last night in New York. He doesn't even seem to know where he is, what he's doing, where he's going. You decide." ...Sean Hannity
Don't worry, Vic, no matter how bad things look, you'll win in the end because the SCOTUS is on your side.
Damn that "balance of power".
No the SCOTUS is on the side of the Constitution. It's every other point of power that is controlled by the left that we have to worry about.
You can tell who supports what by the amount of media coverage.
This is why, during my military career I referred to everybody as either "Fucker" or "Shit Head".
A very large piece of the American public don't qualify for military service. Either educationally, physically or mentally the can't meet some very basic standards.
In self defence???
Was the case retried and a different verdict announced?
No in self defense. [Deleted]
[ Deleted ]
Rittenhouse was put on trial with a jury of his peers. He didn't get a judge that decided to seat only NRA members and family acquaintances; in an already favorable area. You want to laugh over something- laugh over Michael Sussman jury selection (greatly influenced by the Obama appointed judge) that seated Clinton Democrat donors; a parent whose child was on the same soccer team as Sussman's daughter, and someone that worked on a Democrat campaign. The trial itself was even more biased.
[ Deleted ] So sorry if you didn't like the Rittenhouse outcome; Democrats are working hard to fix that.
Lol, clearly the educational standard isn't very high.
The dumbing down of America is real funny shit.
Shouldn't that be "really" funny shit ?
Nor is the universities. I prefer the brave men & women in our military any day.
Do you want to keep it real?
How so Drinker?
Sorry, I meant to reply to Pat. Excuse me, Vic.
Do you want to keep it real or really?
You had me scratching my head for a minute.
I'm not used to that.
Me too, no one wants cowardly men and women in our military.
Sometimes I get carless when double tasking between here and telework. I need to be more careful, don't want to send a NT reply to workmates or vice versa.
I like to keep it really real.
You are a key man here. Always remember that. You can't afford to be careless!
Absolutely! Keep giving the cowards their deferments.
There you go, me too.
No, just a small voice in the wilderness trying to give our more progressive friends some target practice. Their aim doesn't seem to be improving though, they need to learn better breath control.
A small voice that carries a big stick. Size does matter.
This weekly newsletter is the product of an alternate reality.
Trump is in the news every day because he wants to be. He goes on Fox News and says he can declassify documents by thinking about declassifying them. This sort of buffoonish musing is an everyday occurrence for Trump now, and for the GOP party that is bound at the hip with him.
Biden's polling has improved and two new polls show him at 45 and 46 percent favorability, and his recent speech on MAGA "fascism" appears to be a reason Biden's numbers are getting better.
Most Americans don't want far right conspiracy theorists and crackpots and Christian nationalists running this country. The political right has managed to run their Trump train into the ditch, and Ron DeSantis is more of a problem than a solution.
And you have the option to move along although the ability seems to escape you. There are more important things going on in the country and the world more important than your fixation (fear) of ONE person who has no effect on your life right now.
But don't let that stop you from trying (and failing) to distract from the actual topics of the posted article.
Your "contributions" to this forum are a complete waste of time. If Trump is "old news" why did Sean Hannity, king of right wing news shows, have Trump on for an extended interview just a couple days ago?
Can you answer that fucking question or are you going to keep babbling about Biden getting "lost" on a stage?
Nor did he ever really. There is nothing that Trump did that I know of that harmed anyone irreparably. No matter how many parrot the narrative. It has been asked ad nauseum "what has Trump done that affected you and yours negatively" and the answer is always the same. Either crickets or "he made us the laughing stock of the world" bullshit. Tough shit the rest of the world. We need to look after us first. If anything, as we can see with the war in Ukraine, North Korea saber rattling, and China moving forward with their "visions of grandeur" unabated, we are worse off NOW on the world stage (and no need to go into the UN speech). That shit wasn't happening while Trump was in office. They were scared shitless. But.......................no more mean tweets LMMFAO
[Deleted] Donald trump tried to steal the last presidential election. He tried to bribe the president of another country into helping him smear Trumps political opponent. He lied to the American public 30,000 times WHILE HE WAS IN OFFICE. He dogwhistled white supremacists at Charlottesville. His campaign accepted Russian interference in the 2016 election, and in fact he encouraged Russian interference in the 2016 election. And on and on and on ad nauseum. And you think it is about "mean tweets"? [Deleted]
No he didn't. Not even close. He couldn't steal a pack of gum if there was no one in the store.
That one is PURE bullshit. Bribe how? No different than Biden threatening to withhold aid to the same country.
And it didn't affect me or mine one iota.
Gonna need an explanation for that one.................Charlottesville was a protest against removing historic monuments
No annnnnnd no. Ask Bob Mueller
Yes. Ad nauseum is your constant, never ceasing anti Trump bullshit. It CAN'T be healthy.
And I must ask, are you a sheep?
Feelings. It's all about their hurt feelings. Day in and day out we hear from them that he "was so bad" but NONE of them can specifically point out anything that hurt them. This is, by far, the biggest temper tantrum over nothing that I've ever seen.
Oh and don't forget we are supposed to treat them like adults as they resort to constant unfounded distractions and childish garbage like personal attacks like we see in 4.1.1.
All truth and all factual John. See how some folks just can't handle the truth and just deflect?
That is one of the bigger collections of bullshit I have seen here in a while.
Donald Trump approved a plan to have Pence declare that the electoral votes in seven states that Trump lost not be counted on the theory that the votes in those states were "contested", even though all of those seven states had certified their election results. Trump was still trying to get this plan into place as late as the morning of Jan 6 when he said at his ellipse speech that Pence should follow John Eastman's advice.
Trump was going to withhold military aid to Ukraine unless Zelensky agreed to publicly announce he was going to investigate Joe Biden, Trump's political opponent.
Charlottesville was a white supremacist rally. Everyone in Charlottesville knew that. It was in the media, and in print. The person who held the permit for the rally that day is a known and proud white supremacist. White supremacist groups from around the country came to Charlottesville that day. Trump said there were fine people on both sides. He is either a total idiot or he was dog whistling his racist base.
Both Robert Mueller and the Senate Intelligence committee report said that the Trump campaign was open to Russian interference in the election. Trump himself asked Russia to find Hillary Clinton's emails. This was days after it was revealed that Russia had hacked the DNC emails. Trump was asking Russia to do it again.
As for you saying that you dont care if the president of the United States lied to the people 30,000 times maybe you shouldnt vote any more until you gain a different perspective.
Which wouldn't and couldn't happen. Want in one hand and shit in the other.
And Biden was going to do the same as Veep if Petro Poroshenko (then President of Ukraine), didn't get rid of a prosecutor.
That was after the fact..........and doesn't mean what you want it to. Do you think there were good people on both sides in the 2020 Summer of Love riots?
Again, not what happened and it was a tongue in cheek comment. Hillary's campaign was open to Russian interference also. Remember the Steele Dossier?
Perhaps it is you who needs a different perspective. Those lies had no affect on me or you except it may have hurt your sensitive feelings.
Sorry John. But it is obvious to the whole world where you stand and your obsession with one guy who has NO control over you yet you seem to like letting him have it.
Your lack of information on these topics speaks for itself. Beliefs like yours are one reason why I no longer care so much about putting a link up for everything I say. It is generally a waste of time on this forum. There was a time when I put links or quotes up for just about everything but it is close to senseless to do that now.
It was NOT a tongue in cheek comment. Days after it was revealed Russia was responsible for hacking the Democratic National Committee Trump suggested that they would be well rewarded by the media if they did it again. Only a fool would think that Trump didnt want this to actually happen and in fact Russians attempted to hack Clinton that very night. We also know that Trump appreciated foreign help in his elections because three years later he wanted Zelensky to help him and just this past year he asked Putin to produce dirt on Joe Biden. Open your eyes for petes sake.
It's like this John. The emails were a big deal in the news during that time. The Ruskies proved they could hack computers. And they did...........days prior to his statement. They proved they could do it and not even Hilary's crack team could come up with them.........prolly on purpose. It was a big deal at the time and Trump commented basically saying if they were that good, perhaps THEY could find them when no one else could. It was a dig to the Hilary team and the DNC. There wasn't really anything that I can think of that would help Trump if they did find them. In fact, it probably hurt her more to not be able to produce than anything that was probably in any mails.
Please explain how Russia would hack Clinton's servers to find emails she'd already very publicly deleted following their subpoena?
And I thought it was because of the difficulty at finding a source supporting your narrative.
Please make a comment like that in one of my group seeds so I can delete it.
If I find one that looks interesting, I will. You deserve some fun.
Ask Trump that question. He's the one that asked them to do it.
THERE'S the acceptance of differing opinions we've all come to know from the left. And you call those who oppose you fascist.
Having been on Newstalkers for the past few years, I usually call them morons.
Just can't keep a conversation on the adult level. More examples of why people laugh at those on the left. The childish personal attacks.
Well if you would ever learn to tell the accurate truth maybe people wouldnt say so many mean things about you.
Well if you would ever learn to tell the accurate truth maybe people wouldnt say so many mean things about you.
You mean like the sources of all your "smoking gun" articles? How did all those work out? (it's a rhetorical question - everybody knows they ALL amounted to failure)
Tell the truth JR, that wouldn't change your replies.
OK, JR, I've accommodated your request. It's comment 4.2 in your seed, "Learned a Couple Interesting"
Delete and enjoy.
We all know that's not strictly true.
There were two rallies in Charlottesville that day. One of white supremacist morons and another of "counter-protester" morons.
Yep. Dueling morons. Something bad was bound to happen.
I'm always confused as to which group to favor ... /s
How about you? Are you ready to talk about the real issues: inflation, crime and the open border?
That's what is going to drive the scum out of congress!
They all look the same to me.
Talk about alternate reality!
Biden won't be the DNC nominee in 2024. You heard it here first.
And because the media loves to accommodate him. Winning the primary in 2016 would have been much harder without all the free publicity that they gave to him as compared to his competitors.
Had he won in 2020, he'd be half way through his second term and we wouldn't be hearing a word about him right now.
“…we wouldn't be hearing a word about him right now.”
Please. Name another ex-president that purposely inserted himself into the news on a daily basis. He craves attention, and if it wanes or as previous allies defect, he becomes more and more outrageous. ‘Q’ and A…A as in abomination.
And the media loves to accommodate him and has for several decades and helped him enormously in the 2016 Primary.
And the media craves the headline and the advertising dollars.
I say BULL. The media is again doing Biden's bidding. They want to make Trump a campaign issue. THAT is why Trump is in the news.
BTW ITS NOT GOING TO WORK!
As do many politicians. Have you ever heard of Bill & Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, Stacey Abrams, Gavin Newsom, Andrew Cuomo, and Liz Cheney? Although most haven't achieved the presidency, they've all been trying to win it.
What bullshit. Is donald not running around the country doing rallies at every opportunity?
You are actually going to deny that donald inserts himself in to political races....
I disagree.
Is donald not running around the country doing rallies at every opportunity?
So is Newsom. Are we hearing about Newsom 24/7?
You are actually going to deny that donald inserts himself in to political races....
He endorses people like everyone else. In the proper context of the nation's issues, he belongs on page 5.
Where is Newsom holding a rally? Where is his tour?
Why deflect away....
So it is you that gets to decide what should be news and where?
The disconnect is unbelievable.
I didn't say he was holding rallies. He is campaigning.
Here:
You are getting so far into something else just to take light off of what you said.
Total deflection.
Is that the end of your argument?
Good. The point has been made: Trump deserves to be on the front page about as much as Gavin Newsom does.
When Newsom steals documents from the WH get back to me.
All you are doing is saying the media should shut up and not report on all the shit donald pulls.
Better for republicans I guess if they suppress what he is doing and saying.
On the evening of November 8th, I'll be right here.
Wearing a maga hat no doubt.
That would be a target, as we've learned.

Your boy hero?
Funny as in my neck of the woods people don't seem to have that many problems.
My next door neighbor put out a trump flag while at the same time my neighbor across the street put out a Biden sign.
They still talk and are friendly.
The left made that innocent young man a martyr.
Funny as in my neck of the woods people don't seem to have that many problems.
Where is that?
My next door neighbor put out a trump flag while at the same time my neighbor across the street put out a Biden sign.
They still talk and are friendly.
Republicans and democrats can easily be friends. It's the extreme elements of the left that got us here.
What got us here is statements like that. Blaming one party over the other.
They are so equal/S
I could say that the reps are horrible human beings, what would it change or do....
What you have said stands for all to see
I am not ashamed of anything I have said.
Even if we left aside all of the ongoing investigations into Trump's criminality, his influence over the GOP would still be a campaign issue.
A couple weeks after McCarthy said Trump was responsible for the Jan 6 riot, McCarthy was down in Mara-lago sucking Trump's ass. For the past year and half Republicans have been bowing and scraping in front of Trump to avoid getting on his bad side, and just as importantly to avoid getting on the bad side of Trump's multitude of cult followers.
Trump endorsed hundreds of GOP candidates for upcoming elections, many of them election deniers. His fingerprints are all over the Nov election.
On what planet would his malignant effect on American life and society not be a major campaign issue?
Of course if we dont put aside the ongoing investigations of this leader of the Republican Party, well, that issue speaks for itself.
On the planet where the world's oldest Constitutional Republic is fighting for its existence as a lawless authoritarian regime has left the nation's citizens at risk to rampant crime, wide open borders, Recession & inflation, and the sexualization & indoctrination of young children.
JR wrrote: "The political right has managed to run their Trump train into the ditch, and Ron DeSantis is more of a problem than a solution".
Most Republicans except a hard core of election deniers don't support Trump. His never ending attention seeking is keeping the flak off of DeSantis right now. The Dems know DeSantis will beat anyone they will put up.
You have insider info on Dems? Fascinating!
They are a very easy read.
As are Republicans ... do you think your seeds are written by sages? I have yet to come across one.
Simply a rational opinion.
"Oh and don't forget we are supposed to treat them like adults as they resort to constant unfounded distractions and childish garbage like personal attacks like we see in 4.1.1 ."
And seem to get away with it....all the time!
When something like that is allowed to stand we should be able to see the moderators name.
Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife,

And best wishes to our future first family.
