[WeaselZippers] Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) reportedly called for law enforcement to gun down the rioters who broke into Congress during the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6th.
The Washington Post has released a new retrospective article on the riot Donald Trump’s supporters carried out in their violent attempt to overturn the former president’s 2020 election defeat. The piece offers a massive reconstruction of January 6th, and amid all the shocking content that turned up during the Post’s investigation, the paper presents a detailed timeline of how the situation on Capitol Hill plunged into chaos.
In the Post’s second chapter — titled Bloodshed — the report goes in-depth on how Vice President Mike Pence and members of Congress were evacuated or sheltered in place after rioters breached the Capitol. One anecdote describes Graham’s reaction to fleeing the Senate chamber, including him urging the Senate’s sergeant-at-arms to use guns against the mob.
The Senate and House leaders also had been evacuated by Capitol Police and taken to an undisclosed location, but many lawmakers remained in their chambers for a few minutes before they were led to safety in the Hart Senate Office Building. Sen. Lindsey O. Graham was irate that senators were forced to flee their own chamber. He yelled at the Senate sergeant-at-arms. "What are you doing? Take back the Senate! You’ve got guns. Use them." The South Carolina senator was adamant. "We give you guns for a reason," he repeated. "Use them."

Graham has always been a deep state schmuck. While he has sided more with the GOP than Demons, he is a eGOP squish and always has been. There are other Republican senators I would love to see primaried out ahead of him, but his is in the upper 1/3rd of those I would like to see removed.

We are very lucky that they did not listen to him. It would have been the first shot of a civil war.

I don't remember him saying anything in defense of Derek Chauvin. Seems to be a bit of a double standard.

The Washington Post has released a new retrospective article on the riot Donald Trump’s supporters carried out in their violent attempt to overturn the former president’s 2020 election defeat.
Did or did not, turned off after Washington Post.
Of course, those who looked like they had stormed windows before then took off like they were off to an objective would have made a scene.

Crapped himself under pressure like AOC. Unfortunately the threat wasn't an actual threat, the two should be tearing into the capital police and the misinformation campaign that exposed them as cowards and fools.
#11
Dunno. Washington Post and Retrospective is a flag.
AOC was going out of her way, hitting the circuits to 'share her reaction.' This is the first I've heard anything about Graham, and while everyone is trying to get out in front of the Carlson Report.
You don't tell the targets of a surprise party so you get a genuine reaction.
[NYPOST] Suffolk County is set to dramatically boost its police ranks — including by potentially siphoning off cops from the NYPD who are furious over the Big Apple’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Democratic County Executive Steve Bellone will announce Monday that he is hiring 705 law enforcement personnel, bucking the "defund the police" movement in his own party, sources said.
Good for him. And the community, and the community’s police.
"This is the largest one-year increase in law enforcement personnel in Suffolk County history,’’ Bellone, who is eyeing a run for governor, told The Post on Sunday. "We have opposed the slogan, "Defund the Police.’ "
But Suffolk’s gain could be the NYPD’s pain — as scores of Big Apple officers are furious over Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him... ’s requirement for city workers, including police, to get the vaccine by Monday.
Suffolk County cops are not required to get the shot.
"The [NYPD cops] who don’t want to get vaccinated, they’re going to run to Suffolk County,’’ a longtime city policeman told The Post.
The 20-year NYPD veteran said the fact that Suffolk cops don’t need to get the vaccine is just the cherry on top of reasons to defect to Long Island.
Starting pay for both NYPD and Suffolk cops is currently about $42,000 — but while city cops max out at $86,000 annually, the Long Island officers’ wages nearly double, to $155,600, after 11.5 years of service.
"Suffolk County? That’s the Lotto!’’ the police source said. "Anyone who goes to Suffolk, we say they hit the Lotto.
"If they go to Nassau [County], we call it the ’Scratch-Off,’ " the cop quipped.
"Less work and more money, and you’re more appreciated for doing your job,’’ he said of the Long Island police departments.
The source added that even if there were a vaccine mandate in Suffolk, defecting NYPD cops wouldn’t gripe — because the money eases the pain.
Lawsuit filed by Texas Democrats over October 2020 incident involving Biden campaign bus and 'Trump Train' convoy was amended on Friday
San Marcos, Texas police are accused of 'privately laughing' and 'joking about the victims and their distress' as Biden bus riders pleaded for an escort
Updated lawsuit includes transcription of 911 call in which San Marcos police officials are heard saying they won't escort the bus after it entered jurisdiction
Matt Daenzer, a corporal with San Marcos police, allegedly told dispatcher: ‘We will “close patrol” that, but we’re not going to escort a bus’
One of those on board the bus tells the dispatcher: 'They've cut in on me multiple times. They've threatened my life on multiple occasions with vehicular collision'
There were no injuries as a result of the incident, which received a lot of attention, including from then-President Donald Trump
Trump criticized the FBI at the time after the agency said it was investigating the incident
At one point, one of the pickups collided with an SUV behind the bus, which was traveling from San Antonio to Austin
[Breitbart] In August, the council, feeling pressure from an increase in violent crime and a state law penalizing cities that defund their police, reversed course when it came to the cuts and approved a substantial increase in law enforcement funding.
“But activists at Save Austin Now think it’s too little, too late. They successfully worked to put a referendum, Proposition A, on the ballot, with a special election set for Tuesday,” the Fox report said.
It would require the city to keep two officers per 1,000 residents, promote more training, and offer incentives to recruit police officers who speak more languages.
“People here locally do not want to fund defund-the-police efforts. They do not want to defund the police,” Save Austin Now cofounder Matt Mackowiak, a Republican activist, told the outlet.
In May, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced he would sign a bill barring cities from defunding their police departments.
[Breitbart] President Joe Biden’s public struggles with even the simplest usage of the English language have been well documented on the U.S. political scene.
From confusing his wife, Jill Biden, with his sister, Valerie, to saying in the lead-up to last year’s presidential race he is a “candidate for the United States Senate” and people could “vote for the other Biden” if he is not their preferred candidate, it appears he can be easily baffled by the most simple of tasks.
Simply acknowledging his own position ahead of that of Vice President Kamala Harris once proved too much for his cognitive faculties.
Biden was even forced to take notes out of his jacket when asked a simple question about “the most recent hack by the Russians” during an ostensibly unscripted visit to a farmer’s market earlier this year in Central Lake, MI.
Now other countries and commentators are noticing.
Sky News Australia ran an item solely devoted to Biden and his public gaffes last Friday, with host Rita Panahi observing Biden “needs a retirement home and a warm bowl of soup, not access to the nuclear codes” after showing several of his gaffes in recent speeches.

SCENES FROM 21c. AMERICA IN THE TIME OF COLLAPSE
MF to local butcher: "Where's the NY strip?" Butcher-- a brain-addled replacement worker: "Huh?" MF: "...the NY strip: you put away all the NY strip that you had on sale. Where did you put it?" Butcher, uncomprehending, shakes his head and resumes spraying down the sinks. MF to Store Manager: "What happened to the NY strip you had on sake?" Store Manager: "All gone. Guys are coming in and cleaning it out. Shopping careful sat a time [motions with arms wide]. Come back early tomorrow morning-- REAL early..."
So now we're into hoarding. The f--king Soviet Union ca. 1989.
God I hate what these morons are doing to our country. Damn them to hell

They aren't getting much sympathy from the oilfield right now. They are not going back to into full boom mode but very slowly expanding and keeping it much more realistic. Don't expect a glut from US production.

[NYPOST] American Airlines canceled over 250 more flights — about 9 percent of its scheduled trips — on Monday morning after canceling over 1,500 flights through the weekend, blaming the travel disruptions on weather woes and staffing issues.
By 8 a.m. ET Monday, American had canceled 269 flights for the day and delayed another 117, according to data from aviation tracking site FlightAware.
The recent bout of cancellations comes as the airline scrambles to recover from a messy Halloween weekend that saw the airline cancel as much as 30 percent of its scheduled flights on some days.
In a note to staff on Saturday, American COO David Seymour blamed the delays on poor weather conditions around the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the airline’s base of operations, that had displaced staff around the country, according to CNBC.

When a company or Gov. demands you do something you strongly object to or else.
Usually the person tells the Employer or Gov. to go Stick where the sun does not shine.

Commercial aviation (passenger travel) began in the mid-late 1920's. People somehow got around pretty well without it prior to that.
To be truthful however, my research on the topic only went back as far as the Siberian Migration to what is now the United States. Seemed like a good place to start.
[NYPOST] On Friday, five young Democratic operatives toting tiki torches attempted a white-supremacist hoax on Glenn Youngkin, the dark-horse Republican gubernatorial candidate in Virginia who is panicking his Democratic opponent, Terry McAuliffe.
There they stood in the pouring rain next to a Youngkin campaign bus looking suitably ashamed in their neo-Nazi ...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously and purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both.... disguises.

If there ideas were any good they wouldn't have to lie and cheat all the time to get elected.
[BIZPACREVIEW] President Biden looked away and scratched his forehead when Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy yelled a question at him on Sunday regarding rumored plans to pay $450,000 per person to illegal immigrants separated from their families during the Trump administration.
“Mr. President, is it true we’re going to give $450,000 to border crossers who are separated?” Doocy shouted at Biden while he was taking an escalator after his press conference in Rome at the end of the G20 gathering.
Biden was looking at the camera when Doocy yelled his question. His curious and dismissive response was to ignore it and look away while scratching his head.
The potentially massive payments were reported by the Wall Street Journal Thursday. Evidently, the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are seriously considering making the payment to family members who were separated after crossing the border illegally during the Trump administration in connection to a lawsuit. The move is ostensibly a political one as no such offers are being made to the families that Obama separated during his tenure.
The move could mean that each family would see close to $1 million in payments with a total estimated cost of $1 billion overall. The Journal did note that many of the families would get much smaller payments than that.
Republicans and conservatives are livid over the proposal. The payments could well exceed those given to families of 9/11 victims and Gold Star families.
Those who lose a loved one in military service are entitled to a death gratuity of $100,000. Life insurance from the Servicemember Group Life Insurance (SGLI) maxes out at a benefit of $400,000 and the service member had to have paid into it to get that benefit.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) claimed that the reported payments were “another way President Biden is putting America last.”

They're just rubbing our faces in it now.
The goal is simply humiliation.
No rational policy end whatsoever; just triumph and destruction. Destruction of a great nation.
[Zero] Today, Biden was seen dozing off during the opening speeches of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland - an event widely dubbed in the media as humanity's "last best chance" to reign in the "out of control" specter of incoming climate "disaster". So much for that.
The video showing an apparently unenthused and unimpressed US president trying to initially fight sleep before succumbing completely - after which an aide has to come prompt him awake - has gone viral since being shared by The Washington Post's Zach Purser Brown.
The question must be asked: does even the president himself or the administration really believe its own apocalyptic climate alarmist rhetoric? At the very least, the body language says no....
#1
Stop paying attention to Magoo.
Start asking, in deadly earnest: Who the f--k is running this country?
How can we possibly allow these mad freaks to destroy literally everything in such short order?

Falling asleep while the wife and dozens of her pals are out shopping. Think of the savings, free shipping and no customs declarations upon returning to Andrews AFB. Just 52 more shopping days until Christmas.
Just a guess, but I suspect there won't be any media coverage of their return and off-loading at Andrews? Again, just a guess.

To be fair, I've also had trouble staying awake during opening talks at what in my time zone would be 3 in the morning. However, I was alone and didn't have an entourage to ply me with coffee and amphetamines.

This is Rantburg - Fair (?!*#) Last word in the vocabulary of the posters here, sarcasms' #1...
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Republican contender Youngkin's average polling on Friday showed him at 47.6% – just .6% ahead of Democrat McAuliffe's 47%
The down-to-the-wire election has come down to a few niche issues – parental control of education, the rights of trans Virginians and critical race theory
Yougkin and McAuliffe are scheduled for full days of campaigning criss-crossing the Old Dominion State on Monday
Democrats are trying to link Youngkin to Trump in hopes it will hurt him, while the ex-president says it only helps if his base turns out for the GOP candidate
Donald Trump reiterated his support for Youngkin in a statement ahead of his tele-rally for the candidate to take place Monday evening
He urged supporters to get out and vote despite not being a 'believer in the integrity of Virginia's elections'

Pure racism. Totally obvious to the intolerance and hate within themselves.
When socialists or communists purport to swear or affirm their support for the Constitution they are committing perjury. They consciously support a system of government antithetical to, and one which cannot co-exist with, the Republican Form created by the Constitution; they cannot support socialism or communism and likewise support the Constitution. The swearing in ceremonies for self-avowed socialist members of Congress and state and local office holders are invalid acts of fraud, corrosive to a basic protection for that government to which the American people consented, the Republican Form.
Socialism defines a government in which all means of production, distribution, and exchange are either owned or regulated by the state. Communism defines a government in which all property (even the body of the person) is owned by the state. Socialism and communism are antithetical to, and cannot co-exist with, the Republican Form of government that the Constitution creates and that the Constitution requires be guaranteed. In the Socialist and Communist Forms, there are no individual rights but only state defined collective rights; moreover, rights do not pre-exist government, they are bestowed by government selectively to politically favored groups and are taken away by government selectively. In the Republican Form, all rights are those of individuals; moreover, individual rights pre-exist the state and are a birthright from God, not from government. Indeed, contrary to the Socialist and Communist Forms, in the Republican Form, governments are, to paraphrase the Declaration of Independence, instituted for the very purpose of protecting the individual rights of the governed, which rights include those to life, liberty, and property. And the only just powers Republican Forms have are those derived from the consent of the governed. Socialist and Communist Forms presume powers over all life and property without popular consent.

(Of course, if it had been earlier it would hve been 'too early' - and if Trump's attempts at legal challenges to voter irregularities are any guide, there is no time between too early and too late.)
[POLITICO] Mailers attacking Democrat Terry McAuliffe for being "on the side of abusive coppers" are popping up in Virginia voters’ mailboxes, urging support for third-party hopeful Princess Blanding — and highlighting a fierce battle for Black votes in the final days of the tight governor’s race.
In interviews with POLITICO, more than a dozen top Democrats involved in the Virginia campaign — from strategists on the ground to House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) — expressed concern that Black support for McAuliffe is weaker and less enthusiastic than it could be in a razor-thin race in a blue-trending state. Against that backdrop, McAuliffe and Black Democratic surrogates are racing across Virginia before Tuesday’s election to drive up Black turnout and support.
It appears Republicans are trying to take advantage. The anti-McAuliffe mailers — featuring an image of a Black man’s face, pushed into the pavement — are paid for by Our First Principles Fund, a nonprofit group whose only previous known spending came during the fight for the Virginia GOP’s gubernatorial nomination, when the group spent six figures attacking one of eventual nominee Glenn Youngkin’s primary opponents. The group — one of several on both sides trying to dampen base enthusiasm for the other party — did not respond to a request for comment.

As always the Party of the KKK, somehow continues to Play the Race Card for votes.
[WASHINGTONTIMES] The Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... announced Monday it would not hear a challenge over a Catholic hospital declining to provide transgender surgery, leaving in place the lower court’s ruling in favor of the transgender man.
A transgender man, Evan Minton, sued Dignity Health after the hospital declined to perform his hysterectomy.
That’s dumb. You absolutely don’t want to have a surgery done where they aren’t accustomed to doing them, unless it is a serious emergency, because the odds of dangerous errors are so much higher.
He received the surgery three days later at a non-religious hospital but filed a lawsuit in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, claiming he was discriminated against.
The lower courts ruled in his favor and against the hospital, which asked the justices to review the case.
Specifically, Dignity Health argued that religious health care institutions should be protected by the First Amendment and not forced to perform surgeries that conflict with its ethics.
The majority of the justices declined to get involved.
Justices Neil M. Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. would have taken up the case for review.

That a man can have a hysterectomy?

Why should a physician be required by force of law to perform an elective procedure they find morally repugnant? What's next "female genital mutilation" of minors?

She is suing because they refused to perform unnecessary surgery. She should be suing the hospital that mutilated her and the psych who reinforced her delusion.

Once again the SC proves it has nothing but cowards on the bench.
[Breitbart] Vice President Kamala Harris is in New York on Monday to promote the use of electric trucks as the supply chain crisis — and trucking shortage — continues and the latest statistics on the number of illegal alien encounters on the southern border are up 314 percent.
That amounts to 1,659,206 for fiscal year 2021 as of October 22, 2021 — up from 400,651 in fiscal year 2020.
President Joe Biden named Harris the border czar to solve the ongoing flow of migrants streaming across the border.
[NYPOST] Dr. Anthony Fauci ...American epidemiologist with rotating opinions, warnings about the unlikely, and reassurances that if you wear a mask you won't get COVID, as long as you're wearing multiple masks, assuming wearing a mask is necessary in the first place... is in for a shellacking Tuesday when a bombshell new book by former Trump economic adviser Peter Navarro lands.
"In Trump Time, A Journal of America’s Plague Year" is a rollicking personal diary studded with insider confidences, and it sets its sights squarely on the chief medical adviser to the president.
Navarro writes that Fauci did "more damage to this nation, President Trump and the world than anyone else this side of the Bat Lady of Wuhan."
He holds Fauci accountable for "everything from the Wuhan lab gain-of-function catastrophe and suppression of low-cost therapeutics such as hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to the political, partisan and deadly delay in delivering the Trump vaccines to the American people."
Fauci’s sins included not telling President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... or the 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... task force that he knew the Wuhan lab was conducting risky gain-of- function research on bat coronaviruses, or that he had helped fund it.
It was Fauci who "went behind the back of the Trump White House in 2017 to lift the ban on dangerous ’gain-of-function’ experiments. It was Fauci’s agency ... that helped fund and orchestrate such ... experiments at a bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China, where the pandemic almost certainly originated. And it was Fauci who, as we now know from a trove of [his] emails, was being told as early as January 31, 2020, that the virus was likely engineered."

Fauci is just the tip of the nose of the monsters we've come to know as PHARMA and Big Gov't. Mengele is in a remote 'farm team' in comparison to Fauci & Co.
I was in the 'pill conga line' at Walgreens last evening picking up my jurrasic thyroid meds. The pharmacist came back to a middle aged fellow at the counter and told him his prescription was going to be $500. (thirty days supply of something or other - over $16. per pill). I thought the poor fellow was going to fall out right there on the spot. The pharmacist tried to talk him through discounts and web site coupon offers. The poor guy finally left giving his iphone a work out.

/\ Yes, Epstein on the MACRO level. Fauci is known as a 'cut out.' He coordinated the laundering of USD from DARPA, NIH, and others to the Chinese Communist. He certainly does know the score, front to back.
Not because this is an any way newsworthy, but just because our beloved president is such a vile specimen of classless humanity.
[IsraelTimes] US President 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.... offers a public apology to a UN climate conference over his predecessor Donald Trump’s move to pull the US from the Paris accord.
Biden is speaking in Glasgow, Scotland where world leaders are gathering to discuss implementing the agreement to contain global warming by mid-century.
He says: “I shouldn’t apologize, but I do apologize for the fact the United States, the last administration, pulled out of the Paris Accords and put us sort of behind the eight ball a little bit.”
Biden has frequently criticized the past administration’s approach to climate, but did not previously deliver a public apology to the world.
Biden reentered the agreement in one of his first official acts in office on January 20.
