[NYPOST] New York City’s latest bloody week of gunfire saw 76 people injured, including 14 murdered — with almost two-and-a-half times more shootings than the same week last year, according to police sources.As of 7 a.m., the previous week saw 62 separate shootings — a dramatic rise over the 26 during the same week last year, sources said.
Among the 76 hurt in the latest surge of gunplay, there were 14 murders — again more than the 10 for the same period in 2019, the sources said.
The latest fatalities included a man who was rubbed out just after 2 a.m. at the entrance of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, NYPD sources said.
Photos showed a distraught woman comforting a man dressed all in white who appeared to have collapsed in grief as others soon gathered around a body being carried off in a stretcher.
It continued a particularly bloody weekend that had already seen at least 11 people shot overnight from Friday until Saturday morning, with four fatalities — including 28-year-old city Correction Officer John Jeff who was bumped off at a party in Queens.

I don't know if Kat is gross and would consider letting her eat crackers in bed (as opposed to, say, Donna Brazile), but I might have to tape her mouth shut.
[MAIL] The beachfront compound in Hawaii where former President Barack Obama reportedly plans to someday retire used a planning loophole to retain a seawall that is likely causing beach erosion, according to a new report.
State officials and community members confirmed to ProPublica that Obama plans to reside in the compound on Oahu, which was purchased for $8.7 million by his close friend Marty Nesbitt in 2015.
After tearing down the site's mansion made famous as the house from Magnum PI, developers are building three homes, two pools and a security perimeter on the three-acre beachfront parcel, permits show.
However, the century-old seawall on the property is set to remain, despite state policies designed to preserve Hawaii’s natural coastlines and environmental experts who say such structures cause coastal damage and beach erosion.

Thought he recently bought an expensive place in the northeast along the beach. He made $400,000/yr as Potus. Writing books appears to be good money-laundering scheme for buying expensive houses.

I guess it's too much to hope for a specific oops from the volcanoes to solve this for us. Be funny for it to get built and then covered in basalt.
How fortunate that we still elect our presidents via the Electoral College, so national counts don’t matter. Tell me former president Biden will get a majority there, then I’ll consider worrying.

The Dems have a Hobson's choice--basically no choice at all. You vote for what is placed before you or not at all.
Biden and Harris are not a very attractive ticket. for Dems or the country. The polls are basically suppression polls. The Dems will have to do a lot of rigging to push this couple over the finish line.

They can report any number they want. There is no way to verify until we vote. So for now this is all push polling to discourage the 'enemy'. A few days before the election the numbers will change dramatically so that the pollsters can brag about how 'accurate' they were.
[BREITBART] Saturday on MSNBC, Rep. The Ageless and Downright Brilliant Comrade Maxine Impeach 45! Waters ...U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district, serving since 1991, a total of 28.71112 years. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the most senior of the twelve black women currently serving in the United States Congress, and a member and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Before becoming a member of Congress she served in the California Assembly, to which she was first elected back when Disco was in flower, in 1976, which would make it 43.70906 years. She has been a politician for virtually all her adult life. If she was a little brighter she'd be a Communist... (D-CA) called on President Donald Trump ...the Nailer of NAFTA... to be removed from office by applying the 25th Amendment.

Near sighted Mad Maxine can't tell the difference between the vigorous Trump and the vegetable Biden. It's because they're both white, isn't it?

The world will be a better place without Maxine and it cannot come soon enough.
[BREITBART] Michigan clerks rejected 10,694 mailed ballots during the August 4 primary.Of those, 846 ballots were not accepted "because the voter was dead," the bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit ... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang... News reported.
Further, 2,225 ballots were denied because there was no voter signature on the envelope, and 1,111 votes were discarded because the voter moved to a new address after submitting the ballot. The state claimed the dead voters died between the time they submitted the ballot and when it was counted.
Michigan’s largest city, Detroit, received 820 ballots that were ultimately rejected, according to the paper.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is demanding the legislature pass a bill requiring city and township clerks to call voters who have obvious flaws with their ballot, such as a missing signature. If you can't follow simple instructions, you're too stupid to vote
"With turnout and absentee ballot numbers expected to double or even triple in November, we could be looking at tens of thousands of Michigan citizens disenfranchised if the legislature again fails to act," she said.
Meanwhile, ...back at the wreckage, Captain Poindexter awoke groggily, his hand still stuck in the Ming vase... more than 223,000 ballots were "undeliverable" in Clark County, Nevada, the Review-Journal reported.
The state opted for an all-mail election and "Clark County mailed ballots to all — not just active — voters, in part because of legal pressure from state and national Democrats," according to the paper.
Clark County mailed 1,325,934 ballots, and nearly as many were undeliverable as returned: 223,469 and 305,000, respectively.
The Review-Journal noted 58 percent of the undeliverable ballots "belonged to inactive voters."
"According to county records, 92,337 of the undeliverable ballots belonged to Democrats, 53,129 came from Republicans and 78,003 were identified as nonpartisan or third party," the outlet reported.
In April, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) estimated 28 million mail ballots "went missing" over the last decade.
"Putting the election in the hands of the United States Postal Service would be a catastrophe. Over the recent decade, there were 28 million missing and misdirected ballots," PILF President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams said.

Got a friend who was at Mather AFB (CA) in the mid sixties. Hasn't spent much time in CA since, except for coming and going to SEA. Been in the midwest the last half century, more or less. Got a CA ballot mailed to him.

[FOXNEWS] The New York Police Department (NYPD) union faced blowback from local Democrats after it endorsed President Trump’s reelection amid budget cuts and tensions between police and city politicians.On Friday night, Trump spoke to members of the New York City Police Benevolent Association (PBA), an organization that represents 24,000 officers, at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J. Trump was formally endorsed by the group.
PBA President Pat Lynch said it was the first time he could recall the group ever endorsing a president.
"I have 36 years on this job, 21 as the president of this fine organization. I cannot remember when we’ve ever endorsed for Office of the President of the United States, until now. That's how important this is," Lynch said.

Can't have the tribes running off the reservation. It might give others ideas.
I'd be more worried about the postal workers endorsing Biden. If you are counting (heh) on vote by mail, the last thing you want is to give people yet another reason to suspect the process.

[NYPOST] A state bureaucrat wants to mandate 500 hours of training for anyone who shampoos hair at a beauty salon or barbershop — but something about her push for the bizarre new requirement just doesn’t wash.
That’s because she is also a beauty school owner, The Post has found, as is a second member of the state board that licenses salon workers.
A third person on the panel runs a membership and lobbying group for the cosmetology school industry.
That’s out of four total board members.
If their training-before-shampooing mandate passes, hair washers would have to spend an average of $13,354 on beauty school each to secure a "shampoo assistant" license.

How much to get a “conditioner assistant” certificate? And can I was dogs or cats or just dirty people of New York”?
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.
