I have to go to bed but wanted to post this little bit of – well, I dunno, karma or something.
The Left is exposing its insanity more and more every day and today they fired the head of Planned Parenthood because she won’t say that men who have transitioned can have abortions.
This is a thing of beauty.
good nite.
Military people.
First time firing live rounds did not go well. Never came close to hitting target but there are lots of frightened squirrels in the area.
Eventually target was hit, and repeatedly.
Reason? A “lefty” was using a “righty” M4 for the very first time.
Proud of the person.

If this happens it means that the left has put funding into this to try and cause a Kent State style fraud to use against the President.
I’m hoping the American public isn’t this stupid but I’m worried that they are.

Why would a million people be interested in dragging themselves into the desert to punish Trump? I guess it sounds more interesting than going South to protect your own freedom and way of life. Sort of like a Comic Book Convention, but hoping for REAL green men. Truth be told, if they saw anything scary they would trample one another in the panic to get away.
Lots of peeps don’t think things through. Aren’t people too lazy to do this in great numbers? Dems generally provide buses to get crowds to strategic places. Dems not gonna spend their own money.
The burning question; are aliens racist?

– Scherie Murray, a New York businesswoman who immigrated from Jamaica as a child and is active in state Republican politics, is launching a campaign Wednesday for the congressional seat held by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Fox News has learned.

House anti-trust subcommittee hears BIG TECH serial lying and tap dancing away from reality yesterday. Worth the read. They turn all of us into commodities that make money by selling our identities. I do use Amazon to get stuff I can’t find anywhere. I prefer to go to the company that makes stuff, but Amazon is easier by a magnitude. What I would not like to see is Amazon becoming the manufacturer of cheap crapola because it has put real companies out of business. If I were mobile I’d still prefer to support retail. Seeing, touching, trying on things is different. I judge nobody for their individual preferences.

Today, UK Archaeology is sponsoring #AskAnArcheologist Day on twitter. Ask away!
For instance, in the Near East, they’ll start a dig by uncovering large areas using a lot of people to get it done, while on a dig in the UK, they tend to start with targeted, exploratory trenches. But they use GPS to help decide.

Jake Tapper has an interesting thread up. He spoke to about 4 House Dems anonymously about their frustrations w/The Squad. It’s a 12-tweet thread and this is the final tweet.
12/ AOC, in particular “gives her chief of staff license to get candidates to run against her colleagues and to go after them on social media. It makes people’s skin crawl,” said House Dem 3.
House Dem 4 summed it up: “We were there for them; they should stop attacking us.”

“We are introducing a resolution … to really speak about the American values that support and believe in our ability to exercise our first amendment rights in regard to boycotting,” the congresswoman told the outlet. “And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.”

Under no circumstances should *anyone* – whether you’re on the political left or the political right – tell an American citizen to “go home.” This isn’t how we address disagreements in values or policy; this is how we demonize each other. Do better, America.
“Do better, America” is the new version of “This is not who we are” and is going to get somebody punched in the face. By me.

So Omar introduced a ‘resolution’ supporting the anti-Israel BDS movement that carries this verbiage comparing the boycotting groups to Americans who boycotted Nazi Germany
“Americans of conscience have a proud history of participating in boycotts to advocate for human rights abroad, including … boycotting Nazi Germany from March 1933 to October 1941 in response to the dehumanization of the Jewish people in the lead-up to the Holocaust,”
