[TOWNHALL] Progressive activists showed up to an Arizona wedding officiated by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema ...Dem senatrix from Arizona. She began her political career in the Arizona Green Party and rose to prominence for her progressive advocacy, supporting causes such as LGBTQ rights and opposing the war on terror. She left the Green Party to join the Arizona Democratic Party in 2004 and was elected to a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2012. After her election, she joined the New Democrat Coalition, the Blue Dog Coalition and the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, amassing one of the most conservative voting records in the Democratic caucus. She won the 2018 Senate election to replace the retiring Jeff Flake, defeating Republican nominee Martha McSally. Sinema is the first openly bisexual (meaning she's not particular) and the second openly LGBT woman to be elected to the House of Representatives and to the Senate in 2012 and 2018, respectively. She also was the first woman elected to the Senate from Arizona.... (D) to protest her opposition to Democrats' massive spending plans, prompting the bride and her mother to plead with demonstrators to stop 'ruining' the event. I don't think she's following the logic of their arguments.
Sinema was officiating the wedding for her personal friend last weekend when protesters arrived at the venue and began chanting while holding signs that included phrases like, "Sinema Betrays Democrats" and, "We voted for you — shouldn't you vote for us?" according to a video of the event posted to YouTube on Oct. 24.
Sinema spokesperson Hannah Hurley told Tuscon.com in a statement that the senator "officiated a personal friend’s wedding at which a small group of activists protested during the private ceremony."
The bride confronted the group of protesters at one point, expressing frustration over the disruption of her wedding.
"Thanks for ruining my wedding. I really appreciate it," she said sarcastically. "It's just my wedding. I really wish I could enjoy my wedding without you ruining it."
Later on, the bride's mother appeared in tears to plead with protesters to let her daughter enjoy her wedding day.
"It's my daughter's wedding. Just for an hour — just let her get married, please. This person is not my daughter," she said of Sinema. She requested that the protesters leave for an hour during the ceremony. Some agreed to protest in silence, while one continued to shout toward the venue.

Stand up for yourself, girl! (presumed). I like the cut of her jib, and of Sinema's, shockingly. I had expected nothing good from her.

If I were her, I'd be worried about the White Coats purposefully making things worse to make an example.
If they are willing to melt the face off of puppies one fly bite at a time, then what is a used up, replaceable bobble head and her potentially uncomfortable inside The White House knowledge?
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] A Southwest Airlines pilot reportedly told passengers 'Let's Go Brandon' as he signed off on a flight from Houston to AlbuquerqueHe was seen in a TikTok video telling passengers about the weather outside as they landed before saying 'and let's go Brandon'
Pilots were also reportedly heard repeating the message on their radios throughout the day
'Let's Go Brandon' is a coded message for 'F*** Joe Biden' after a reporter at a NASCAR event mistook the vulgar chant for praise for driver Brandon Brown
The sentiment comes amid growing tensions about President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate for all federal contractors - including airline workers
The Southwest Airlines Pilots Association tried to get an injunction on the mandate but were overruled last week
Southwest employees have also been seen standing outside the airline's Texas headquarters protesting the mandate

So far the only person to hear "Let's go Brandon" was the whiney, leftist "reporter" who reported it. She then tried to get in the the locked cockpit. Other people said the the pilot said, "Let's go Braves".

Lets go BRAVES. THe audio is available online. Its tds LEFTY MENTAL DISORDER THAT CAUSED THE "REPORTER"" TO HEAR WHAT SHE THOUGHT SHE DID.
[RT] A San Francisco grocery store that was once open 24 hours is now limiting its hours due to “out of control” shoplifting, the latest example of businesses closing or limiting hours due to rampant petty crime in the blue city.
The Safeway grocery store in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco will now be closing its doors at 9pm, the earliest of any Safeways in the city.
San Francisco supervisor, Rafael Mandelman, told the San Francisco Chronicle the limiting of hours is due to “out of control” shoplifting, and he plans to speak with the police department and district attorney’s office to “to see what is currently being done to deter theft at Safeway, and to figure out a plan to do better.”
Mandelman said in a separate interview that shoplifting has been “off the charts” and numerous businesses have been complaining that police rarely make arrests, even when they are called.
“I think like a lot of retailers they’ve been experiencing increasing property crime and theft from their stores,” he said. “I think the last six months from what they say has been sort of – off the charts in terms of how bad it’s been. It’s sad, upsetting and frustrating.”

Looks like California will get the Soviet system after all.
1. Wait in line. Hope store doesn't close while in line.
2. Go to a counter. Ask to buy a product. Receive slip.
3. Go to second counter, present slip. Pay for product and receive receipt.
4. Go to third counter, present receipt and receive product.
5. Walk nonchalantly past AK-47 toting guards.
6. Wait in line for another product, if available.
This is subversion by a perverted billionaire and his deranged far-left minions.
A concerted plan to destroy rule of law in a great nation -- and then achieve a "transformation," like the one that Lenin and his backers achieved in 1917.

If the Constitution were construed in accordance with its plain and intended meaning, there would be no question but that every member of Congress who is a self-described socialist would be ineligible to hold federal or state legislative, executive, and judicial office.

Safeway is big in California. If their corporate management has enough sense to push the politicians on this, or withhold campaign contributions, something might get done about it.

Agreed, Mr. Fred. Assuming our kids decide to stay in the new USSA.
But how will they make a go of it as honest and patriotic citizens in a country whose elites across every institution demonize them, seek to grab their wealth or positions, and persecute them for daring to protest the madness?
Even the military is being destroyed. Loyal officers are now telling their sons not to choose military careers. There is literally no institution left that has not been poisoned by these little Bolshevik grifters.
Our kids and grandkids will have to start looking abroad if they want to find a place where they can honor their heritage and have a chance at living as free men and women.

^ All the glowing stories in the MSM about expats and Americans giving up their passports suggests some people think elsewhere is better. I actually wish there were more of them. Especially the ones that renounce their citizenship (Assuming they don't keep on voting in our elections anyway.)

Is Orban's Hungary corrupt? Sure. Same for Russia. Corruption in Poland, too, and N. Italy. Prob'y Austria as well.
But in those countries and regions, a white make of European descent can still make a living with honest work and raise a family with pride in his heritage. No one will tell him he's wicked, or that his daughters need to let Dudes in Dresses into the girls' restroom and then lie about the inevitable rapes or other attacks that these freaks perpetrate. No Wakandan bullshit, no stigmatization as "domestic terrorists," no suppression of speech by employers or neighbors or Tech Oligarchs.
When Putin and Orban make more sense about matters of liberty and culture than our own elites, it's time to start thinking about going east.
The question is not about freedom va tyranny. It's about choosing between left-authoritarianism and right-illiberalism.
[NATION.PK] Amid criticism by Republicans that Hunter Biden ...son of President Joe: cashiered from the Navy, a crackhead, wheeler dealer, leg humper, horn dog, and general all around ne'er do well. We're supposed to feel sorry for him... ’s novice artwork, displayed at the Georges Berges Gallery and priced between $75,000 and $500,000 could be purchased by people looking to curry favor with the president, the White House earlier issued assurances that it had an ethical arrangement with the gallery to prevent influence-peddling.
The much-anticipated exhibit of Hunter Biden’s paintings this week at the Georges Berges Art Gallery in SoHo has attracted a paltry trickle of visitors to date, reported the New York Post.
Furthermore, those who did stop by to glimpse at the novice artwork reportedly sporting price tags of between $75,000 and $500,000, mostly declined to identify themselves, claims the outlet. A handful of artists and industry professionals showed up for the private viewing of "The Journey Home — A Hunter Biden Solo Exhibition", which opened on 23 October and is set to run until 15 November.
With Biden’s parents, US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass. Don't say he didn't warn us... and First Lady Jill also a no-show at the West Broadway venue, Georges Berges, the art dealer who owns the gallery, said that it was "unfortunate" the White House couple couldn’t see their son’s work. ""It’s unfortunate that a father or mother can’t see his work, but it’s the times we live in and it’ll become a distraction," he was quoted as saying by Artnet News.
Among the visitors earlier in the week was Gene Epstein, former senior economist at the New York Stock Exchange, accompanied by his artist wife Hisako Kobayashi - one of 19 artists represented by Berges, according to the gallery’s web site.
Bill Fine, president of Artnet online art resource and database, was also among the meagre stream of visitors to the controversial show that features 25 works on metal, canvas and Japanese Yupo paper.
"The artworks pulsate with colour, deep reds, ultramarine blues, and gold leaf... Most seem allegorical, steeped in mythology, symbolism, and personal history. Snakes twirl their bodies around totems," according to Artnet News.
After 15 November, the exhibit will move to the Berges’ gallery in Berlin. "One of the things that I never anticipated was the political irrationality that people can have," Weighing in on the controversy that Hunter Biden’s art show has been steeped in, Berges was cited by the outlet as saying:
"There are the blind, predetermined judgements, not just of Hunter, but of myself. If people objectively look at his work, it’s great work. And the majority of people they come in and they’re like, ’Wow, I didn’t expect this!’"
The pricey debut artwork produced by the President’s second son, who never had any artistic background and was at a loss to secure a gallery to exhibit his works before 2020, has raised red flags for many critics. Hunter Biden’s name has been steeped in controversy throughout late 2020 as the November presidential elections pitted his father, former Vice-President Joe Biden against Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... , who was seeking reelection.
The New York Post had published an exposé on the alleged unethical and potentially illegal influence peddling involving Joe Biden after damning emails were taken from a laptop supposedly abandoned by Hunter Biden at a Delaware repair shop.
The documents suggested that then-Vice President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S., who gives the term geriatric a bad name. He blames Afghans for losing Afghanistan....... met Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive from the Ukrainian gas firm Burisma, less than a year before Ukraine's then-General Prosecutor Viktor Shokin was fired at the US VP's request. Another batch of emails ostensibly threw light on an unspecified business venture with a Chinese firm and allocation of "20 [percent] for H[unter]" and "10 percent" for "the big guy," with Hunter Biden's former business associate Tony Bobulinski quoted by the media as saying the "big guy" referred to Joe Biden.

[WashingtonFreeBeacon] A government watchdog group hit Terry McAuliffe with a campaign finance complaint on Friday over a $350,000 donation he received from a foreign-owned company linked to an overseas money laundering probe, according to a copy of the filing obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Terry probably figured he could hide this until after the election and he was almost right.
But how many votes were already mailed in before this news broke?

answer to question in blue
as of yesterday am; 1.1 million of expected 5.9 million votes have already been received by Sec of State; probably another few hundred thousand are in the mail
also this info will likely be buried on on the bottom of page 20 or so in the WaPo tomorrow and most voters won't see it

McAuliffe is the poster child for the most corrupt era in modern US history. This Clinton bagman helped them and himself to 9-figure fortunes by selling access for 30 years.
McAuliffe began his career in the early 90s by looting labor unions' pension funds in bogus Florida real estate deals. He's been selling access steadily ever since, and also pocketed tens of millions from sweetheart deals allowing him to invest at a steep discount in shit companies (Global Crossing, "GreenTech Automotive" etc) which then go on to defraud federal and state government entities -- on the way to huge valuations before they inevitably crash. McAuliffe always gets out right at the peak: four months before Global Crossing crashed and burned, McAuliffe cashed out $18 million (on an original $100k sweetheart investment).
This f--ker has collected millions from Chinese spies, corrupt US executives, scam artists of all stripes.
McAuliffe's simian smile will no doubt be one of those that grace the profiles on our Kakocracy's version of Mt Rushmore.
You cannot turn an oligarchy into a republic. If we can't destroy the oligarchs -- and they have shown us clearly that they "reserve to themselves the right to commit any crime and tell any lie," including jailing hundreds of citizens without trial for nearly a YEAR on made-up charges as they perpetrate yet another idiotic hoax about "insurrection."
[O]ne melancholy lesson of the January 6 insurrection hoax: that America is fast mutating from a republic, in which individual liberty is paramount, into an oligarchy, in which conformity will be increasingly demanded and enforced.
[RT] A CNN ...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for... national security analyst and former FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... agent received heavy backlash after she compared a pilot's anti-Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter, close friend of an imaginary negro named Corn Pop. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan.... remarks before takeoff to an holy warrior declaring ’Long live ISIS’.
After an unnamed Southwest Airlines pilot allegedly said ’Let's go Brandon’ — a recent conservative meme that has become code for ’F**k Joe Biden’ — while signing off of a Friday flight from Houston, Texas to Albuquerque, New Mexico, CNN national security analyst Asha Rangappa compared the incident to an Islamic holy warrior making a statement in support of the terrorist group Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (IS, formerly ISIS).
"As an experiment, I'd love for an @SouthwestAir pilot to say ’Long live ISIS’ before taking off. My guess is that 1) the plane would be immediately grounded; 2) the pilot fired; and 3) a statement issued by the airline within a matter of hours," Rangappa tweeted, garnering heavy criticism on social media, including from journalist Glenn Greenwald who called it illustrative of "the rot of modern-day corporate media."

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.
