[WASHINGTONTIMES] Moslems in Minneapolis say they are thrilled with a "historic" moment for the community — a call to prayer called the adhan echoing throughout a major U.S. city.
Imam Abdisalam Adam, who is on the board of the Dar al-Hijrah mosque, along with others spoke with Al Jazeera on Friday about the Ramadan milestone.
"There’s definitely a lot of excitement. Some people see it as historic," he said Friday.
Jaylani Hussein, the executive director of Minnesota’s chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations ... the Moslem Brüderbund's American arm ... (CAIR), said the adhan will give members of the community "solace" while dealing with coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic restrictions.
"If we cannot be physically together, at least this echo, this voice, this call to prayer can be an extension of us being together at this difficult time," he told Al Jazeera.

Hell no. I woke up yesterday with our local news and Moscow on the Mississippi mayor praising the move. Fucking speechless. I want to hear pigs squealing prayers of the Pedophile Profit I'll go to the Mecca.

The Flynn case is totally wrecked as the result of the prosecution sitting on exculpatory information. The prosecutors ought to be disbarred for this crap. The case should have disappeared when the Mueller probe found no Russian collusion. They were looking in the wrong places. If they were really interested in Russian collusion, they would have gone after HRC, BHO and the rest of the coup cabal. Let's hope Durham does a better job of going after the real criminality.
[FoxNews] A resurfaced clip on "Larry King Live" in 1993 appears to show the mother of Tara Reade -- who has accused Joe Biden of past sexual assault while in the Senate -- alluding to "problems" her daughter faced while working as a staffer for the then-Delaware senator.
In a telephone interview with Fox News on Friday night, Reade confirmed that her mother called into the show. Biden's presidential campaign has adamantly denied Reade's allegations but the video could be cited as evidence supporting Reade's allegation – even though her late mother, in the clip, does not specifically refer to a sexual assault claim.
The Intercept on Friday first reported the transcript of a broadcast from Aug. 11, 1993, of a woman from San Luis Obispo County in California calling into the show about her daughter's experience on Capitol Hill....

Good ol Larry Kink ( never met a perv he didn't want to put on TV). He, Filth Donahue and Jerry Sprinkler sure lowered the common denominator during their careers.

If you research back far enough there were rumblings that the Secret Service and Navy learned not to put female staff at the Naval Observatory, the VP residence because SloJoe liked to walk around a la Churchill and was a problem at night.
Back then dismissed as rumors, now, seemingly true. Senile corrupt and a perv, a perfect specimen of the democrat elite.
[NYPOST] Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced she would begin reopening parts of the state’s economy on Friday — the decision coming amid armed protests outside her home and the threat of a mutiny by state politicians.
Whitmer signed a new executive order extending the Wolverine State’s stay-home order by another two weeks until May 15, but eased some other restrictions, which have been met with rancorous protests.
"The new executive order will allow some workers who perform lower-risk activities to go back on the job," Whitmer said at a Friday morning presser, including occupations such as landscaping.
"We will consider this the preliminary stage of economic re-engagement. We will measure, we will collect data, we will continue to ramp up testing and tracing and we will make informed decisions in coming days about potential further re-engagement," she continued.
Activities such as golfing and boating are back on the table, while people will be able to travel between their homes, a previously outlawed activity that incensed Michiganders.
Restaurants and bars will remain closed while all travel continues to be banned.

She did nothing and deserves no credit! All that happened was that she oh so generously stopped trying to enforce the widely ignored extra restrictions that she threw over the state about a week ago. The state legislature is still, by the way, going to go after her. The State Senate and House are passing laws and forming oversight committees that she will have to veto to hold onto her petty tyranny. Of course, she has already stated that she will veto ANYTHING THAT TAKES AWAY ANY POWER FROM HER.

The voters asked for it, and they are getting it good and hard. They will ask for more of the same and all the rest of us can do is not buy MI products.

What's the old saying, you get the government you deserve?
IMHO, the armed protest was just a sideshow to the main event - the "Operation Gridlock" protest. It is difficult to get numbers since the media focused hard on the armed protests, but there were a *yuge* number of vehicles on the capitol streets.
Also four county sheriffs in the surrounding area here have created a firestorm by announcing that they would be using common sense in enforcing the Gov's orders and would not be violating anyone's Constitutional rights. Some people were quite upset by this.
Bottom line: there is a lot of grass-roots opposition to the governor's orders. She has since walked back some of the sillier restrictions. I don't know whether she is getting better advice or just figured that it is easier to ride a horse in the direction.
I still think she is the perfect running mate for Biden. Take our Governor, please!

No, SteveS, please, no.
If the resurrection voters and "Let me help you fill it in" mail-in ballots carry the day, Biden can win. And then who will be running the show?

[BIZPACREVIEW] Democrats reached a new low in their hatred of President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... and the mission to destroy anyone who doesn’t agree with them.
Instead of Michigan State Rep. Karen Whitsett getting celebratory messages after recovering from COVID-19, the Democrat is facing censure by her own party members in bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit ... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang... . Whitsett is guilty of crediting Trump with saving her life after taking hydroxychloroquine to treat her severe coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... symptoms.
Democrats apparently couldn’t handle the fact that the first-term politician spoke well of the president and then actually met with him and Vice President Mike Pence last week at the White House where she offered her thanks and praise again for touting the medication that effectively cured her of the illness.
The 13th Congressional District Democratic Party Organization is now planning a vote on Saturday to censure the state politician who represents the 9th Michigan House District. In stunning remarks, the chairman of the organization, Jonathan Kinloch, declared that Whitsett’s actions essentially broke some sort of political party protocol and that she is basically Democrat property.
"At the end of the day, we have political systems," Kinloch said, according to The Detroit News.
"We have political parties, and political parties exist for a reason, he said, adding that endorsed candidates and elected officials "do not belong to themselves."
"They belong to the members and precinct delegates of the Democratic Party," Kinloch asserted.
Democratic political consultant Greg Bowens contended that Whitsett’s praise of Trump, which was her own statement of facts, could be "undermining the party’s ability to win Michigan."
"She is in her own way trying to champion the inequities in our system," Bowens, a member of the executive board for the 14th Congressional District, claimed. "But everybody knows Trump’s a user. If you give him any praise, he’s going to use it in his campaign to win the state."

I'm beginning to see where the phrase "Thick as thieves" came from. The Dems sure do stick together no matter what. When a few stray off the reservation, there is all hell to pay for those who stray.
[BIZPACREVIEW] A federal judge in San Diego has mooted a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, law requiring people to undergo background checks before being able to purchase ammunition, the latest legal pushback against authoritarian Democrats and their never-ending quest to dismantle the Second Amendment.
U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, sided with the California Rifle & Pistol Association, which sued to block the law.
"The experiment has been tried. The casualties have been counted. California’s new ammunition background check law misfires and the Second Amendment rights of California citizens have been gravely injured," Benitez wrote in a 120-page opinion, The News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported.
The AP was sure to report that the law in question was a measure "approved by voters," but what the ’news’ organization doesn’t say is that laws that violate our founding document are null and void, whether they are popular or not — because we don’t live in a pure democracy.
"The law’s red tape and state database errors made it impossible for hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Californians to purchase ammunition for sport or self-defense," Chuck Michel, the firearm group’s general counsel. "The court found that the flimsy reasons offered by the government to justify these constitutional infringements were inadequate."

An Appeal was filed - I haven't seen that they put a stay on it. It will go to the Supremes if they do On Friday state lawyers filed a motion asking Benitez to immediately issue a stay of the injunction until they could file an appeal. State lawyers said the action was needed immediately because “ammunition vendors have already started selling ammunition without background checks, creating the near certainty that prohibited persons—convicted felons, violent misdemeanants, and others prohibited by law from possessing firearms and ammunition—will have easy access to ammunition.”
But Benitez was not persuaded. He said he did not think the state would win an appeal and said the focus on prohibited people buying ammunition was misplaced. In his ruling Benitez said that thousands of state residents who should have been able to buy ammunition had not been able to because of a flawed checking system that erroneously denied purchase to 16 percent of applicants.
“Without an injunction, these law-abiding individuals have no legal way to acquire the ammunition which they enjoy the constitutional right of possession,” Benitez wrote. “These law-abiding individuals whose numbers are vast have no way to lawfully acquire ammunition to defend themselves, their families and their homes. The injunction restores that right.”
By the end of the day, state lawyers had filed a notice of appeal in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The ban on buying out-of-state ammo violates the Commerce Clause as well

Ah, I thought they had blocked it. Buy while you can, CA!

If you're buying ammo, the presumption is that you own a gun and so the presumption must also be that you already had a background check so you could buy the gun...I would think. Just trying to be logical even though I know that doesn't always have anything to do with it.

If these jokers in Sacramento are outlawing assemblies of 10 or more citizens, do you think they'll allow sales of ammo?

California might permanently ban mass gatherings
Does the California assembly have to gather in a mass to pass the anti-mass-gathering law? It would be funny (and unsurprising) if they managed to ban themselves.
[NEWS.YAHOO] Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body... has predicted that US President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... will try to postpone the country's November election in an attempt to win.
"Mark my words, I think he is gonna try to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can't be held," Biden said during an online fundraiser Thursday.
The 77-year-old former vice president said it is "the only way he thinks he can possibly win."
Six months before US voters head to the polls, Trump's mind is already in election mode.
But with a pandemic raging and job losses climbing to 26.4 million on Thursday, Trump's path to victory may be harder than he anticipated.
Biden, highlighting Trump's recent threat to veto emergency funding for the US Post Office, claimed it was an example of the president's intention to "do all he can to make it very hard for people to vote."
While mail-in voting and absentee ballots remain methods many say could help limit voters spreading coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... , Trump maintains they create the potential for fraud.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pound, the little lost dog backed into the corner and showed its teeth. And what big teeth they were!... dozens of US states have postponed their primary races, which will officially determine who will be the presidential nominee.

If they just shut up they could let Trump fix the economic problems and then they could have another couple of decades of looting and overtaxing the nation before it collapsed.

Sobering, terrifying actually, to think that the crimes and outrages committed against this poor man never would have seen the light of day had he not been lucky enough to find his superb current lawyer Sidney Powell.

Of course FBI Wray is up to his tits in the coverup. If we had a real AG Wray would be flat out fired and charged under RICO. Don't think that's unreasonable in any shape or form.
According to Christia Datoc at The Daily Caller FBI Director Chris Wray fought to prevent exculpatory evidence from surfacing in the case

What a frickin miscarriage of justice. Indeed, many need to go to jail for a long time and it isn't Gen. Flynn.
Looking at this mess, there have been a large number of miscreants contributing to the many cover-ups of criminality. There are probably more involved in this than have actually died from the coronavirus (not counting all the other reasons for death such as diabetes, old age, suicide, car accidents, etc. (sarc)). There have been a lot of frame jobs and cover-ups. Another year of doing nothing about this and you will probably see the Ken Mcelroy solution to the problem. .

I find the whole concept of "plead guilty or we'll go after your wife and kids" repulsive. At that point the only difference between the DOJ and the Sinaloa Cartel is that the cartel turned a profit.

/\ Nothing really new here. It was a favorite tactic of the Geheime Staatspolizei.
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.
