Joe Lockhart took to Twitter last night to snark at Nick Sandmann for giving a speech at the RNC:

My guess is that the Legal Dept. at CNN is probably ready to drop kick this ass clown over the Chrysler Building. Because I’m pretty damn sure that the settlement agreement between Sandmann and CNN contains a “nondisparagement” clause.
Brilliant, Lockhart. Because usually violating ANY terms of a settlement agreement has a penalty stated right in it. In millions.

A 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, of Antioch, Illinois, was arrested this afternoon and charged with first degree intentional homicide, for shooting dead two rioters and injuring a third.

@ eaglesoars:
“That was pure self defense”
Probably was .. being only 17 and in the possession of a firearm may be a problem for him.
I don’t know enough about this latest shooting. I know the fact he was shot in the back looks very bad for the cops. And I at least understand he was supposed to have had a knife, but I’m not sure.
Was he attacking someone? Threatening them? Again, I don’t know.
BTW: If you don’t have your new “star” drivers license, bring lots of paperwork. Birth certificate, Social Security card, and at least two pieces of evidence of your address if you have moved.
Much more of this nonsense and they’ll start needing a signed statement from every teacher you’ve ever had attesting to your good character.

@ eaglesoars:
This particular incident is REALLY confusing. Kid is 17, lives in Illinois, but traveled to Kenosha with a firearm and was out after curfew. The story is going out NOW from the Left that the kid shot someone and that’s why they were chasing him down and that was when he was assaulted and shot the other two. I have only seen snippets of the video so I haven’t been able to make any type of judgment call.
@ right_wing2:
He was shot in the back, yes. He did, however, survive, so I’m just going to assume that the officer involved was trying to incapacitate him and not kill him. They were trying to serve a warrant (for sexual assault on a 14-year-old and domestic violence charges) and the man has a history of pulling a gun on people. Photos show he was armed with a knife. He was tased, told to stop and yet he tried to get in his truck and was reaching for something.
He is a VERY bad dude. He has pulled a gun on people in arguments, and no doubt the police had this information on them when they tried to approach him to take him into custody. BLM always seems to die on the wrong hill.
Oh, and saw a blurb that coroner is saying George Floyd had LETHAL level of Fentanyl in his system. A friend who is a former police officer (and Black, I will add) said that how do we even know that the actions of the officer in the Floyd scenario were even racially motivated. He also wonders if there was even any pressure applied to Floyd’s neck, that he just had his leg OVER the neck. You can’t tell from the photo if any pressure is being applied.
Still, the optics there aren’t the best.
The Barbarian wrote:
There were people in the car (his car) that the cops thought might be minors. No way was he getting back into that car with a bunch of hostages.
@ eaglesoars:
Yeah, I’ve heard they were his kids. And this walking turd would have not had a problem using them as human shields. They’re trying to claim he was there to break up a bar fight. Other witnesses say this is a load of baloney. Sounds to me like the whole “trying to break up a bar fight” scenario is this year’s “hands up don’t shoot” fairytale.
@ The Barbarian:
I’m sorry he’s paralyzed, he won’t be able to provide for his family and will be a burden on the family he does have.
But I don’t know what it takes for people to understand that if you fuck with cops, your chances of getting shot are increased astronomically.

Every one here is a red head right?
An old blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake…
He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels.
After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, “Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?”
The bar immediately falls absolutely silent.
In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, “Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:
The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
The bouncer is a blonde girl with a ‘Billy-Club’.
I’m a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter.
The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.
Now, think about it seriously, Cowboy… Do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?”
The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, “No…not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times…”
@ Deplorable Martian Overlord:
Its interesting re voterid. I had to recheck my registration by the internet and I couldn’t progress past the startup screens without a DMV ID. I checked two states.
the type of ID suppression that these judges rule on doesn’t exist anymore in the age of the internet. And if someone doesn’t have an ID I am sure that there is an activist that would jump at the chance to get them one.
Who doesn’t have an ID these days I know of no one. Except for a couple of addicts who don’t vote anyway.
@ The Barbarian:
I expect more violence. The media is stoking the flames left over from Obamas get in your face community activism. There are plenty of people at snapping points.
When I watch those videos of BLM mobs attacking cars with innocent children in them I see red. Maybe its best I don’t have a gun yet. I would tell myself “IDGAF” and shot and take the punishment.
I’m hoping Trump wins and then he sets up a protester exchange with Hong Kong.
I watched these videos from the post. This is going to spiral out of control. These mayors and governors aren’t stepping up to keep the peace. In the name of social justice.
I think the NBA “boycott” is nothing more than a GOTV effort by Dems due to recent, distressing polling for them.

Well, I seem to have everything repaired on my trailer and SUV. Just went out and checked it over, and all the lights work properly.
I’ve come to the conclusion that it was my own fault, rather than a problem with either of them. The ignition was on in the SUV when I hooked the cable up, and apparently, the 12v aux circuit (the one with the 40 amp fuse) is energized when it’s on. It was actually just an arc between the connectors. They should really put that in the instructions.
So…keys go in my pocket first. Check

No American menu has reached the heights—or lows—of the infamous banquet served to a visiting Soviet delegation by Mao Zedong’s China in 1954, where the centerpiece, “Dragon Fighting the Tiger,” consisted of a skinned cat and a python. The Soviets blankly refused to partake in the traditional festive Cantonese dish, while two secretaries were violently ill, and an already rocky relationship crumbled further.

A lot of experienced guys are leaving the industry. Decreasing relative wages combined with increasing liability on drivers. Also lately the ambulance chasers have made them their focus.
This is leading to a lot of questionable hires behind the wheel IMHO, especially on the standard long haul routes. Lots of consolidation in the industry into huge carriers.

So you’ve been trying to contact Holliday Inn as well? I tried making reservations on their web site a month ago but never got to a confirmation screen despite fixing the “problems” they kept flagging. On the third try, they came back with, “there is a problem with your reservation, you must call 1-800-waste-ur-time. At which point I gave up and booked with Hampton. So, morning after we stayed at Hampton and I had my work device, it turns out Holiday Inn booked me 3 times. .. and charged me because I was a no-show. Call the Holiday Inn I booked, was told I had to call corporate. Called corporate, was told I needed to call the place I booked. [Mostly] patiently explained I did that and they told me to call you. After 30 minutes with horrible hold noise, they gave me a ticket number. Tried calling the other day and was told my refund was refused and I need to call the place I booked. Yeah, I’m sure the front desk guy there will be able to resolve this. So, right now I’m out $450 and would probably lose a dispute through the credit card company since I was notified on a device — I just didn’t have it with me. This is the last money Holiday Inn will ever get from me either personally or for work — and I travel enough that they just screwed themselves out of a lot of bookings. Also going to share my experience with friends & colleagues. Several subsequent attempts at contact have been abject failures.

This corporation had at least 3 computer systems in various stages of decay. And two mergers and acquisitions in my time with them. And about 5 levels of support from legions of customer service who were convinced the system could do no wrong. Don’t get me started on the self help voice menu.

Curious to see if Gaige Grosskruetz will be charged with felon in possession of a firearm with intent to commit murder If he is a felon then I believe he cant own a gun. State laws differ.

Especially in a state trying to restrict the 2A.

@ darkwords:
That’s federal law, actually. And yes, people who were dishonorably discharged are included, because the only way you can get a dishonorable discharge (as opposed to a “less than honorable” discharge) is as part of a sentence from a General Court Martial, which is equivalent to a felony conviction.

As each junior CW catches the tennis ball the return it to Mrs. CW. This will sharpen up their reflex catching skills and they will improve really quickly.
Then give them a baseball glove each and do the same thing with a ‘six-stitcher’. When they are confident doing that put them in the outfield and hit a six-stitcher to them while they wear a baseball glove. Let them take their time and slowly build their confidence.

Strange how you get referred pain in widely separated places when you mess with nerves. Had a
double herniated discs in my back. Suffered getting physio and getting racked and stretched for 3 months. Just as it was coming right and the popcorn swelling was reducing the Queen called me to come and run an interrogation resistance course for some SAS candidates. I said no but they convinced me that all I had to do was supervise so I said OK. One dark and stormy night at zero-dar-thirty hours I was walking up a road heading back to the tunnel complex when I tripped and fell and my back double herniated again . Only this time there was no place for the pop-corn swelling to go except behind my spine and it carried my spinal cord with it.
Crawled the last 50 metres to the CP and got transported out. Spent a week kneeling down with my face in my pillow on the floor. The only position that I could stand the pain …. in MY RIGHT ARM of all places. Referred pain due to the nerves in my back being scrunched up and driven against my backbone.
I was past caring whether they shot me or fixed me.
The nuns at Mater Misericordia Hospital were fantastic especially when they found out my surname. The same as their original prioress, way back when. The surgeon apologised for the size of the scar but to get access to the back of my spine he said he had to go in boots and all!

Nite CW, sleep well
I’m watching the end of the Trump speech with the fireworks.

Kind of prescient given Kenosha and the armed citizens, eh?
Joy Reid just compared Trump to Fidel Castro:
“I’m thinking Fidel Castro, Julius Caesar. That was not an American president giving an acceptance speech. That was a monarch. It was — it was very much like what Castro used to do… This was a crime.”
I dunno what her problem is, normally these people LOVE Castro

@ eaglesoars:
The left is totally unhinged. They don’t even recognize the irony or they think that since it is Republicans, by comparing the Bad Orange Man to Castro, some of the weak minded will be led to drop their support of Trump
This is why school boards are critical. I can’t understand a word she’s saying but I can see the video
This Public School Teacher At W.H. Madison High School In Dallas Texas Is Doing This In Front Of Her Class.
Pretending To Shoot The President.

I’m thinking they’re also mentally deficient. Altho Rachael Maddow was a Rhodes Scholar, some of the stuff she puts out there (remember Trump’s tax returns?) is so intellectually lame I truly wonder about the functional (as opposed to the tested) IQ.
On Fox, Arthel Nevil (sp?) who is sneakily anti-Trump – she’s just stupid. She can’t even ask a follow up question that makes sense. I’m betting she can’t follow a recipe for scrambled eggs.
bedtime, nite.
Ever had one of those days?
