WHAT a F'n bitch
[Gateway] Whitmer specifically attacked Floridians and blamed "snow birds" traveling from the Sunshine State into Michigan for her state’s Covid surge.
The governor’s spokesperson confirmed on Monday that Whitmer took a "personal trip" to Florida last month during spring break!

She's naughty.
But did this moron really believe nobody would notice, or are they really that narcissistic?

Why on fucking earth are these governors still in office? If these states don't enact mechanisms to prevent this shit from happening again, they'll wither away like Detroit did after the riots in the 1960's.
Come to think of it - Detroit and Michigan deserve each other.

Every state legislator that might want to be governor some day (wouldn't that be all but a few of em?) have no incentive to make sure the state's voters have a right to recall the governor.

[WASHINGTONTIMES] Mike Lindell, a conservative activist and the owner of MyPillow, announced Monday that his company has sued Dominion Voting Systems for $1.6 billion, saying the company has engaged in cancel culture and impeded his First Amendment rights.
"MyPillow just sued Dominion for $1.6 billion. This is all about the First Amendment rights to free speech, what they have done to our country," Mr. Lindell said during a livestream on the Right Side Broadcasting Network.
"This isn’t about the money. This is about our First Amendment," he said.
Mr. Lindell was joined by lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who said Dominion has acted as the government due to the power the feds extended to the voting company, but now Dominion is suppressing the viewpoints of critics.
"We don’t suppress. We don’t censor, but that is what Dominion is trying to do on behalf of the government," said Mr. Dershowitz, who is advising Mr. Lindell and his legal team. "We are going to be demanding access to their machines, to their codes."
Stephen Shackelford, a partner at Susman Godfrey LLP serving as Dominion’s legal counsel, said the lawsuit had no merit.
"This is a meritless retaliatory lawsuit, filed by MyPillow to try to distract from the harm it caused to Dominion," he said.
The announcement comes after Dominion sued Mr. Lindell for $1.3 billion earlier this year, saying he defamed Dominion Voting Systems by alleging the company rigged the 2020 presidential election in favor of President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing......

Apparently wikileaks has something with a Dominian executive saying they wanted to help Democrats or something like that. If so I'm sure that will come out in Mike's suit and it'll be glorious.
Breaking: D.C.’s chief medical examiner concludes that Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes. It was reported by media around the world that he had been bludgeoned to death by pro-Trump rioters. That was cited during Trump’s impeachment trial. https://t.co/cBGkYtR0ug

According to The Post, Diaz determined that Sicknick suffered two strokes at the base of his brain. While Diaz did not attribute any specific event to Sicknick’s death, he determined that everything that transpired at the Capitol “played a role in his condition.”
So, still weasel words.

[FoxNews] Judge Peter Cahill said he wished elected officials would stop disrespecting the judicial process
A lawyer defending Derek Chauvin, who is on trial for the death of George Floyd, cited Rep. Maxine Waters’, D-Calif., comments to Minnesota protesters over the weekend in court on Monday.
"And now that we have [a] U.S. representative ... threatening acts of violence in relation to this specific case, it's it's mind boggling to me to have," Attorney Eric Nelson said, as he attempted to argue that the jury may have been unduly influenced by external factors.
Judge Peter Cahill said that he wished elected officials would stop referencing the case "especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law" so as to let the judicial process play out as intended.
He added, however, that he did not believe the comments unduly influenced the jury as they had been told not to watch the news.
Waters urged protesters in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, where Duante Wright was recently shot by a police officer, to "stay in the street" as she joined the protests on Saturday and violated the local curfew.
"We've got to stay in the street and we've got to get more active, we've got to get more confrontational," Waters said, referencing a scenario where Chauvin is not convicted. "We've got to make sure that they know that we mean business."
As previously reported by Fox News, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said on Monday that she did not believe Waters needed to apologize for her comments. She also said she did not think they would incite violence as local communities deal with intensifying protests.
After three weeks of testimony, closing arguments began Monday in Chauvin’s trial.
It is not clear how quickly the jury will reach a verdict.

So what were the articles of the second impeachment there Nancy?

And the narrative frame is set. If Chauvin is acquitted (unlikely) or wins on appeal later (more likely) the leftist race-baiters will simply say "See, they twisted our words to suit their rayciss, white-supremacist goals! Waaaaaah!"

It's amazing and sick at the same time, M. Murcek - for a lot of lefties, life is one big word game.
#11
If the jurors are aware of the judge's comment it could help them rationalize a 'guilty' verdict, since they could figure it would be overturned on appeal anyway.
#12
The Minn State Tribune is set to dox the jurors, and their article was released, after deliberations started for maximum pressure. This is criminal jury tampering or intimidation!
#13
What LG said at #1. Seems like a very reasonable legal approach. However, we are not living in reasonable and legal times but well-stated nonetheless.

One big Orwellian word game. If you screw up the language badly enough, people won't be able to think straight. That's OK. They'll tell us what to think.

#14 "of course it's a mistrial - but you don't expect me to stick my neck out, do you?"
#17
^ Just like the jurors, he can be expected to have the entirely reasonable fear of reprisals by "activists". But I think he'd be happy to see Chauvin go away.

They all should be charged with jury tampering.
#22
Guilty on all counts. The jury obviously wanted the maximum possibility that verdict overturned on appeal is out of the question.

Judiciary does not want to be involved in an appeal on this any more than they wanted to be involved in 2020 election fraud. They will stand aside.

Teaching the BLM/ANtifa Movement that maximum intimidation works. Conviction for murder is absurd and clearly predicated on fear, not facts! When you trump justice with appeasement, you are destined to get neither! He will be dead withing 3 months, by his own hand or another.

Antifa, BLM riots against the police, now a doper gets a cop sent to prison. Police are kapupt. Now the violent radical left can focus on coming after your guns.
Capitol Police officer Brian D. Sicknick suffered two strokes and died of natural causes a day after he confronted rioters at the Jan. 6 insurrection, the District’s chief medical examiner has ruled.
The ruling, released Monday, likely will make it difficult for prosecutors to pursue homicide charges in the officer’s death. Two men are accused of assaulting Sicknick by spraying a powerful chemical irritant at him during the siege.

If you are too naive to catch the process, the lame stream media is engaged in inciting reactions to sell their news circus to advertisers and push their agendas. Talk about 'incidents' that they use to go grab guns, they are providing actions to clamp down on their little line in the 1st Amendment. There is international, with American participation, precedent.

Difficult, you say? WaPo at its finest! But you gotta pay to "keep reading".

Some lawyers should get a class action lawsuit together against the media that spread a lie that will likely get people kill and most certainly has caused others to be held/observed or otherwise harassed. Go after the one that Bezos owns first.
Have you EVER seen a less enthusiastic czar? It's like....she doesn't want the job. No, wait. She doesn't *cackle*
[NY Post] Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday gave reporters a surprising explanation of how she views her role leading the Biden administration’s response to the migration crisis on the US-Mexico border — saying her focus has been "about bringing together" cabinet secretaries.
Harris gave the answer to reporters during an unrelated trip to North Carolina — seemingly reducing her role to coordinating among President Biden’s agency leaders.
"When we’re looking at my focus, which is a diplomatic focus on the Northern Triangle, it is about bringing together — as I did now, I think, a couple of weeks ago — the members of the Cabinet. And the progress there is that Commerce, for example, is going to host a virtual trade mission," she said.
"The Department of Agriculture, under the leadership of Secretary Vilsack, is increasing its focus on the work that needs to happen to support the agricultural efforts of that region that have been decimated because of extreme climate, because of poverty. But it’s evidencing itself in a number of ways, including extreme food insecurity in that region. We’re bringing together USAID, which is increasing its work around its program that is focused on disaster relief. So this is some of the work that’s happening."
Harris’ precise role in addressing the widening crisis has been subject to confusion.
President Biden on March 24 asked her to lead the administration’s response to a surge of migrants at the border, including families and unaccompanied minors from the three-country "Northern Triangle" in Central America.
But the White House later emphasized she would address only the "root causes" of migration and not border enforcement.

She wants nothing to do with the Tar Baby that is illegal alien invasion of our nation and the drowning of our sovereignty and voting rights, and even the looting of what is left of our public treasury. She is already calculating the effects on her 2024 Presidential aspirations from a risk-adverse perspective. Not the impact on America, or the people she is supposedly now serving and governing on their behalf. Wow, imagine how that will fly in the face of foreign and domestic threats like Putie, Xi, the Norks and Jihadis 1-20?

Of course she wants nothing to do with it. When Plug's string is played out and she assumes the throne, she must be positioned to assume the role of fixer.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
