Dallas ike LA is Dim run which means defund the poice mentality of their debased city halls TN s prevalent. The police in LA routinely clip dumps into a shooter during a confrontation which simplyfies everything because shooters seldom survive the encounter.
Police in Dallas need to start doing likewise.

(www.wfaa.com) According to an arrest warrant obtained by WFAA on the Saturday shooting, Hernandez went to the hospital to visit his girlfriend who had given birth to their child. The warrant stated that Hernandez began "acting strangely" and accused his girlfriend of cheating on him.
The suspect than started searching the room to see if anyone else was in there, according to the warrant. The warrant then stated that Hernandez pulled out a handgun and hit his girlfriend in the head multiple times with it.
According to the warrant, his girlfriend told police that Hernandez made statements such as, "We are both going to die today," and "Whoever comes in this room is going to die with us."
The warrant stated that Pokuaa then entered the room and was fatally shot by Hernandez. According to the warrant, Flowers and Methodist Hospital police officer Sgt. Robert Rangel were in the hallway and heard the gunshot. The warrant stated that Flowers then looked into the room to see the first victim's body, and was also fatally shot by Hernandez.
Sgt. Rangel then took cover and shot Hernandez in the right leg, according to the warrant.
[Red State] As RedState previously reported, the US State Department gave tens of thousands of dollars to a facility in Ecuador to facilitate "drag shows." That news was delivered amidst an onslaught of transgender propaganda being pushed by the Biden administration. On Sunday evening, the president sat down with a man who claims to be a teenage girl going through "girlhood" to proclaim his support for physically mutilating children in the name of "gender-affirming care." Tannie Evita's message to TrevorNoah
(see Joe Biden’s Disturbing, Out-of-Touch Transgender Interview Is the Absolute State of Things)
Previously, Biden had claimed that such procedures were a "civil right," chastizing those who have sought to stop what they view as abuse of children in the name of transgender ideology.
Given all that, it was no surprise to learn that taxpayer money is being used by the State Department to fund drag shows in Central American countries. Their excuse? That it provides a place for transgender people "to express themselves freely and safely."

[IsraelTimes] Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, court in discrimination lawsuit says business owner acted lawfully while upholding beliefs about marriage
A California judge has ruled in favor of a bakery owner who refused to make wedding cakes for a same-sex couple because it violated her Christian beliefs.
The state Department of Fair Housing and Employment had sued Tastries Bakery in Bakersfield, arguing owner Cathy Miller intentionally discriminated against the couple in violation of California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act.
Miller’s attorneys argued her right to free speech and free expression of religion trumped the argument that she violated the anti-discrimination law.
Kern County Superior Court Judge Eric Bradshaw ruled Friday that Miller acted lawfully while upholding her beliefs about what the Bible teaches regarding marriage.
The decision was welcomed as a First Amendment victory by Miller and her pro-bono attorneys with the conservative Thomas More Society.
"I’m hoping that in our community we can grow together," Miller told the Bakersfield Californian after the ruling. "And we should understand that we shouldn’t push any agenda against anyone else."
A spokesperson said the fair housing department was aware of the ruling but had not determined what to do next. The couple, Eileen and Mireya Rodriguez-Del Rio, said they expect an appeal.
"Of course we’re disappointed, but not surprised," Eileen told the newspaper. "We anticipate that our appeal will have a different result."
An earlier decision in Kern County Superior Court also went Miller’s way, but it was later vacated by the 5th District Court of Appeal, which sent the lawsuit back to the county.
The decision comes as a Colorado baker is challenging a ruling he violated that state’s anti-discrimination law by refusing to make a cake celebrating a gender transition. That baker, Jack Phillips, separately won a partial US Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... victory after refusing on religious grounds to make a gay couple’s wedding cake a decade ago.
#3
A pity the bakers can't sue the state department leaders that signed off on this personally for damages and their lawyers for barratry. This appeal for legal immunity because "I was just following orders!" went out of fashion in 1945.

Hey, legal immunity’s nothing to sniff at (heh, heh)

The baker was targeted specifically because of their known stance and undoubtedly profiled before the requested cake order. The lawsuit by the State required private resources paid for by the bakery. This is planned persecution by design using public money/lawyers for political agendas. The process is the punishment, as others see the impact and cost and cede to its chilling effect. The gay lobby never stops, they just push boundaries relentlessly, cloaking it in tolerance, except they are never tolerant themselves!
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Hopefully this time they’ll pre-sell the apartments. In another bold project, as I recall, it was discovered afterward that Saudis do not like to live under others, and so the apartments remained untenanted. Of such small cultural details are fortunes lost in the desert sands.
Clip was released by Ot Sky, an aerial photography company and shows diggers at the site in Saudi Arabia
The site is 75 miles long and is being built as part of the Neom development, a vast desert complex
Neom will also feature artificial ski resort and an octagonal port city as well as elevators and robots

[YouTube - BBC] North and South Korea have exchanged warning shots along their western sea border.
South Korea’s military said its navy fired warning shots to repel a North Korean ship that had crossed into the sea boundary between the North and South.
North Korea’s military said it responded by firing 10 artillery shots as a warning to South Korea.
Military tensions on the Korean peninsula have risen in the past few weeks.

[FoxNews] The two men fired or threw the projectile potatoes from a car, according to police in Perth.
Trent Phillip Green, 19, and Brandon John Nutu Micicoi, 20, both face multiple charges, including causing grievous bodily harm, news.com.au reported.
The alleged attack happened in the city of Trigg in Perth at about 9.30 a.m. on May 20. The potatoes were allegedly fired or thrown at people from a passing car.
According to the police, a 28-year-old man sustained multiple injuries, including a fractured arm and facial injuries, which required surgery to remove his eye.
[NYP] A little noticed federal lawsuit, Missouri v. Biden, is uncovering astonishing evidence of an entrenched censorship scheme cooked up between the federal government and Big Tech that would make Communist China proud.
So far, 67 officials or agencies — including the FBI — have been accused in the lawsuit of violating the First Amendment by pressuring Facebook, Twitter and Google to censor users for alleged misinformation or disinformation.
Victims of the Biden-Big Tech’s "censorship enterprise" include The Post, whose Hunter Biden laptop exposé was suppressed by Facebook and then Twitter in October 2020 after the FBI went to Facebook warning them with great specificity to watch out for a "dump" of Russian disinformation, pertaining to Joe Biden, with an uncanny resemblance to our stories.
"We allege that top-ranking Biden administration officials colluded with those social media companies to suppress speech about the Hunter Biden laptop story, the origins of COVID-19, the efficacy of masks, and election integrity," is how the lawsuit was summarized by the intrepid Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who is leading the action.
Censorship related to alleged "misinformation" about pandemic lockdowns, vaccines and COVID-19, and included material from the esteemed infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists associated with the Great Barrington Declaration which proved over time to be correct and eventually much of which was adopted as official policy by the CDC.
Defendants include FBI special agents Elvis Chan and Laura Dehmlow, who gave Facebook that detailed "disinformation" briefing right before The Post was censored; White House press secretaries, current and former, Karine Jean-Pierre and Jen Psaki; Dr. Anthony Fauci, the president’s chief medical adviser, and former White House senior COVID-19 adviser Andrew Slavitt; counsel to President Biden Dana Remus; the DHS over the disbanded Disinformation Governance Board; the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency; the FDA; the State Department; and the US Election Assistance Commission.

Didn't need to read 800 pages of Tim Weiner to figure it out, but he provided a quite excellent deep dive. We do in fact, live in interesting times.
Page 598 - "What is the greatest threat facing us now? Colin Powell asked recently. "People will say it's terrorism. But are there any terrorists in the world who can change the American way of life or our political system? No. Can they knock down a building? Yes. Can they kill somebody? Yes. But can that really destroy us? No. We can only change ourselves....The only thing that can really destroy us is us. We shouldn't do it to ourselves, and we shouldn't use fear for political purposes -- scaring people to death so they will vote for us, or scaring people to death to create a terror-industrial complex."
OK, say they are found guilty of what we know has and is still happening. Seriously, does anyone think the actual driving forces, other than a few later well rewarded fall guys / minions, will see a day in jail, or be hit with a Civil Award?
They'll likely just regroup and look for another way to do the same thing. Say like passing legislation using a misleading names like:
that Congressman Steve Cohen (D) Chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties, submitted Oct, 7th 2022
That gives hidden allowances / immunity to Fed Actors the next time

The best coverage on this lawsuit is from two attorneys: Jeff Childers, a Florida litigator who has specialised in exposing tge lies and bullshit surrounding COVID, and William Jacobson, the right-leaning Cornell U. law professor.
Here is Jeff Childers, at his Substack blog, coffeeandcovid.com, writing about how Fauci will be forced by the State of Missouri to sit for a deposition as to how he suppressed the truth about his corrupt gene-therapy experiment:
More than a year ago, I told Dr. Jay Bhattacharya that I thought there was enough evidence already in public record to sue that rat weasel Fauci for civil rights violations under the First Amendment, for the campaign that Fauci and the despicable Collins undertook in 2020 to destroy Jay and the other authors of the Great Barrington Declaration by branding them as “fringe scientists.”
Well.
In the best news of 2022, and I’m not exaggerating, yesterday a federal court in Louisiana overruled the federal government’s objections, ordered Dr. Fauci and other government officials to sit for depositions under oath, and said “The Court sees the importance of having Dr. Fauci make statements under oath as it relates to the issues of this matter.”
Finally! That little weasel is going to have to answer some hard questions!
The lawsuit, filed by the State of Missouri, alleges that Fauci and other government officials engaged in a corrupt scheme to deploy the full might of the U.S. government to illegally suppress Americans’ free speech during the pandemic.
Examples cited in the Court’s order include:
1) the Hunter Biden laptop story prior to the 2020 Presidential election;
2) speech about the lab leak theory of COVID-19’s origin;
3) speech about the efficiency of masks and COVID-19 lockdowns;
4) speech about election integrity and the security of voting by mail;
5) censorship and suppression of speech by Plaintiffs Dr. Jayanta Bhattacharya and Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, co-authors of the Great Barrington Declaration;
6) censorship and suppression of Jim Hoft, owner of The Gateway Pundit, on social-media platforms; and
7) censorship and suppression of Jill Hines, co-director of Health Freedom Louisiana and Reopen Louisiana on social-media platforms.
In support of its pending motion for a preliminary injunction, Missouri wants to take the expedited depositions of Tony Fauci (NIH), Rob Flaherty (White House), Andy Slavitt (White House), Jen Psaki (White House), Elvis Chan (FBI), Jen Easterly (CISA), Lauren Protenis (CISA), Vivek Murthy (Surgeon General), Carol Crawford (CDC), and Daniel Kimmage (State Dept.).

William Jacobson publishes detailed outtakes from the Court’s ruling — basically, the Court said that Fauci’s denials are not to be taken at face value. IOW, he has no credibility and needs to be deposed and otherwise submit to the normal process of discovery.
Plaintiffs argue that Dr. Fauci’s credibility has been in question on matters related to supposed COVID-19 “misinformation” since 2020. Specifically, Plaintiffs state that Dr. Fauci has made public statements on the efficacy of masks, the percentage of the population needed for herd immunity, NIAID’s funding of “gain-of-function” virus research in Wuhan, the lab-leak theory, and more. Plaintiffs urge that his comments on these important issues are relevant to the matter at hand and are further reasons why Dr. Fauci should be deposed. Plaintiffs assert that they should not be required to simply accept Dr. Fauci’s “self-serving blanket denials” that were issued from someone other than himself at face value. The Court agrees.
(William Jacobson): The Court concluded as to Fauci that his word was not good enough given other evidence in the record (emphasis added):
After reviewing the Plaintiffs and the Defendants’ arguments, the Court finds that Plaintiffs have proven that Dr. Fauci has personal knowledge about the issue concerning censorship across social media as it related to COVID-19 and ancillary issues of COVID-19.
#8
Strictly hypothetical, but imagine Fauxi was kidnapped and tortured into taping a confession that COVID was all a gummint plot from the beginning. It would be fun watching all the IT agencies that were involved in black site operations rush to the lamestream media to announce that "torture doesn't work, nothing to see here..."

Between 1949 and 1969, the U.S. Army conducted 239 secret bacterial warfare tests in various cities across the country. While this seems like another one of those crazy conspiracies, it's true.
It wasn't until the trial in 1977, that the Army admitted to staging many mock biological attacks on, and unbeknownst to, American citizens. Some of these experiments used live bacteria assumed to be harmless, including Serratia marcescens and anthrax simulants. The purported aim of these staged events was to assess the U.S. population's vulnerability to similar biological attacks from foreign enemies.
… or Operation LAC, in which “Bacillus globigii was used to simulate biological warfare agents (such as anthrax), because it was then considered a contaminant with little health consequence to humans; however, BG is now considered a human pathogen”
[Breitbart] See? All good now.
The cargo crisis that saw a record-breaking 109 ships waiting to dock at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach earlier this year has ended, with only four ships waiting this week, thanks to a drop in imports as the U.S. economy contracts, suggesting recession.
As Breitbart News reported throughout last fall and winter, the number of cargo ships waiting offshore skyrocketed last summer — as Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg took unannounced paternity leave for two months — partly due to pent-up demand in the wake of the pandemic. President Joe Biden promised to move the ports to 24/7 shifts, though that did not happen because of a lack of truck drivers. Other methods, such as penalizing shipping companies for containers left on the dock, were only modestly successful.
Shipping companies moved more of their ships to other ports, though that simply shifted congestion to the East Coast; the cargo crisis continued, as the number of ships awaiting docking overall hit a new record in August. But an easing has begun in earnest, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited a rapid decline in U.S. import volumes as the economy contracts as the reason:
Bottlenecks continue to delay cargo at other major U.S. seaports and at inland freight hubs, but the end of the backup at the big ports in California signals broader supply-chain tangles that have been troubling retailers and manufacturers are unwinding.
[T]he biggest gain likely has come from fewer boxes reaching the busiest U.S. seaport complex for container imports. U.S. import volumes are declining, according to trade data analysts, and a growing share of the shipments are heading to ports on the East and Gulf coasts as importers ship away from the Southern California backup.
…
With demand slowing, shipping lines have canceled between 26% to 31% of their sailings across the Pacific over the coming weeks, according to Sea-Intelligence, a Denmark-based shipping data group, signaling that carriers are preparing for a continued drop in bookings.
Seatrade Maritime News confirms that while volumes are rising at East Coast ports, they are falling rapidly in the West. It added that “market reports have pointed to inflation in developed economies and low consumer confidence as negative factors for container volumes. For the US in particular, multiple reports have noted high retailer inventories as further reason for volumes to soften.”

For the first time in my life I am concerned that
the Swamp Commies might really try something
drastic like declaring martial law. Then the shit will really hit the fan.
VESSEL TRACKING
See what coming and going Worldwide from Port to Port and down to the Ship ID.
There is a lot less ship traffic on the West Coast than there was 2 months ago, when they were piled up waiting weeks to dock and unload.
However, with that said quoting (AAR) WASHINGTON, D.C. – October 19, 2022 – The Association of American Railroads (AAR) today reported U.S. rail traffic for the week ending October 15, 2022.
For this week, total U.S. weekly rail traffic was 500,304 carloads and intermodal units, up 0.7 percent compared with the same week last year.
Hint: So there is stuff still in the delivery chain, headed to the stores. Buy it now, IF you must have it.

Only four shipping waiting to be unloaded buts it's due to a shrinkage of the economy. Moreover, the price of diesel fuel is high and the inventory only 25 days. What's being done in D.C. is criminal.
#7
There are only 130 refineries in the entire U.S., and the major ones are vintage 1970's+. Consider that vulnerablity with the on-hand storage down to 25 days for the commodity that is the literal life-blood of our consumer/agricultural network.
#9
Saw another Big Food commercial trying to make hay off the current economy; playing up shrinkflation (not happening at our place!). This is in addition to different Big Food handing a steep discount when ordering online and picking it up yourself because gasoline prices.
Also, Super Big Corp is running Christmas/Holiday Season commercials.

Turns out Buttigieg is a logistical idiot savant. No one else would have figured out that the solution to the transportation crisis was to obliterate all economic activity. There hasn’t been this type of outside the box problem solving since Keaneau Reeves shot the hostage in speed - maybe it was Emu Williams, I get them mixed up.
Anyway, we should just declare him a national treasure and send him off to team teach at Harvard with Brian Stelter. I mean they should do that with Buttigieg not Keaneau … or Emu for that matter.
