WTF? Do you even civics, bro?
I would have asked that question of the author, but The New Yorker doesn’t allow comments. If this article is any indication of the quality of their writing then I can understand why they don’t want any feedback.
What are you looking at, bub?
Fingers crossed this is “The Plan”.
😀 + ❤
I used to subscribe to The New Yorker until the commies took it over. And their resident “humorist” Andy Borowitz ? I never found him funny even when I was a left wing nut job 😉
You’d be surprised how many of these articles show up on my FB timeline, from “friends”. Or goofy meme stuff from “Occupy Democrats” as proof they’re right and I’m wrong. It’s probably the worst part of social media to realize why you never stayed real life friends in the first place 😛
“It’s probably the worst part of social media to realize why you never stayed real life friends in the first place”
I know! I’m so disillusioned with Facebook I hardly even check it anymore and only post things to irritate my ex such as house remodel photos or pictures with unidentified good looking men in view. I always had romantic, positive views of the friends I lost touch with and being forced to witness their current lives is so disillusioning!
I have 4 Facebook “friends”, 2 of which do not post anything either (Facebook blows). Save a LOT of time and aggravation to just do my blogging groups and not bother to update my status.

But who did the media decide to”interview” and broadcast it as news?
“As I watched an interview on WGN Live, they interviewed a local male who stated “well I didn’t see the shooting but I Heard he did’t have a gun on him”. So as someone who watched the POD video that captured the entire incident, several times over to watch each movement “snoop” made. He had a holster on his body from which he pulled out a gun and at one point, had it pointed towards officer’s before he was shot. Why is it that news media outlets put idiots who were not on scene to give their versions of events, only to cause more hate in the community? ”
And there again is glen brooks the director of “I drive my city vehicle drunk and crash into parked cars”, standing by the cameras like statue and never moving his lips.
From the comments on SCCop
True story 😉 I think L.A. and S.F. will be the next Detroits, people better wake up.
“Shore neighborhood after police officers on foot tried to question him because “the bulge around his waistband” suggested he was armed. The man became combative and eventually broke free from the officers, Waller said.”
****
WTF were those Cops thinking?? They are totally screwed….let the “community” deal with their problems. Baltimore PD figured that out real quick after Freddy Gray, answer calls and do not go looking for trouble.
I fully agree SHV.
“…let the “community” deal with the problem…”
Yep, the same community that says snitches get stitches.
Pro-active policing is dead as BPD officers have learned.
Good advice. Though I hate to see LEO’s being piled on when they’re only trying to keep us safe. Has Baltimore’s crime gone up or down since the stand down ?
“2017 sees highest murder rate ever in shrinking Baltimore”
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/baltimore-homicide-murder-rate-highest-2017-crime-increase-freddie-gray-killing/
They’re going to lose their best LEO’s because they can’t do their jobs that are dedicated to keeping the community safe. My son started out as a Probation officer (inner city Norfolk) and got very frustrated in court when judges would not take his advice when he felt the parolee was still a danger to the community and should stay on probation to be closely monitored, or even tossed back in jail. A lot of those did commit more crimes and my son would just throw his hands up, what difference am I making anyhow? He eventually moved on.

O-B-A-M-A’s Chicago
Notice he didn’t move back, even if his stupid library is being built there. Do they still own that house?
He doesn’t want to have to pay our EXTRA HIGH property taxes. lol
If he wins, Kamaltoe Harris will be the senior Senator from California.
From 1976 to 2013 Ed Markey was a congresscritter from MA, but the pretendian is the “Senior Senator”. That’s gotta cut at Markey.
Trump is doing the same thing to EU countries that he did to high tax blue states. The EU through NATO off-loaded (or cost shifted/transferred) their own military defense to the taxpayers of the US. This allowed lots of social spending/SJW virtue signalling/bullshit. The primary EU countries, Germany, France, UK, Sweden, etc did the same thing (and other less powerful culturally or economically developed countries, Greece, Portugal, Eastern bloc, etc have paid the price trying to keep up). The EU is over-extended wtih big salaries, pensions, dopey programs, required freebies for migrants, just like blue states are with the same stuff (and why the EU is horrified at the prospect of no UK money). For blue states in the US they are facing tax reform where their subsidies from the rest of the US for their federal income tax deduction is being cut and the EU will have to pony up cash promised on progressive priorities but demanded by Trump for their own defense. Democrats, EU techocrats and globalists can’t exist without cost shifting to the involuntarily taxed. It is too expensive and they don’t/can’t pay for their crap themselves. It really is brilliant.
I think after the EU/NATO Trump will go after the UN. Ambassador Haley is already setting it up.
I definitely think he has the UN in his sights. Can’t wait for that.
They already talk on the phone and have worked something out. President Trump wouldn’t be wasting face time, nor would Putin, if this wasn’t true. They are NOT dissing each other. The old neocon types are doing the dissing as well as hysterical Democrats who are worried about Iran imploding with Putin not caring.
That, and the fact that Putin probably respects Trump more than he did Obama. If they were going to rig the election, they’d definitely want Hillary who made some sweet deals with them.
Or at least as everyone here has suggested I hope Putin sets up a team of lawyers and who demand to see what the FBI has on them.
Highest temp. ever recorded on Earth was in CA.
“The official highest recorded temperature is now 56.7°C (134°F), which was measured on 10 July 1913 at Greenland Ranch, Death Valley, California, USA.”
Is that where Needles and Thermal are? I keep seeing those two pop up on the Hottest City on our little local weather page. Poor PMM out in Yellowstone made the Coldest on a few occasions. 1913, eh? Thank goodness for that mini-Ice Age thing we had going on last century 😀
“Poor PMM out in Yellowstone”
*****
Sorry she stopped posting here, I enjoyed her comments.
Yep, Thermal and Yellowstone were hottest and coldest again today 🙂
Needles is a long, dry, thirsty trek from Thermal. Different valley structures. I used to foot patrol downtown Thermal. Took me at least 5 minutes.
We lived near the beaches when in SoCal (Port Hueneme, Oceanside and Coronado) never had air conditioning. The short Santa Ana wind season was hot, but not humid. You left coasties would die here, humidity sucks at your will to live 😉
Yeah, I put in my sweat time when I was young and could handle it. My ed stills lives down there with her hubby, running a family highway business. Lots of memories. But no more sweating.
It’s funny, dh and I seem to be preferring the winters. Yet, I get those red itchy toes every winter now. I won’t do walkies now if it’s below 40 or heat index is over 90. Damn, old age isn’t for pussies 😛
Hold your powder it is going to get hotter next week.
BTW in 1982 when we were in OKC it was 112 one day, too many triple digit days to count. I survived and you will too, as long as your A/C continues to work.
Was gonna brag but just noticed next weekend I’m due for a couple of days at 82. Ack!!!! Must dig out my shorts!
You live in one of the most perfect climates in the world, coastal Cali.
Have we reached peak stupidity yet? Is there anything women can have that’s just ours? Something we don’t have to share? Not even our menstruation?
Oh hell I’d happily share that and childbirth too, come and get you some 🙄
You know what scares me the most?
These demented people get to vote.
Now, for something cute.
😂🌟🌟🌟🌟😂!
Women were created to do things that men can’t do 😀
👍😍
Yeah, like sew. And mop the floor.
I want them to co-opt ovarian cancer (which Mom died of). That’s the ultimate in peak femininity.
❤ for your Mom. Men can't even survive dllation to 3 cm's (out of 10 for birth) on the Labor Pain Mock-Up machines. Would also like to see them be given at least a whacky pill that brings on a week every month of mood swings, cramps, headaches, nausea and make their man boobs hurt like hell. Yeah, that would be nice. 😉
Now here come the Helsinki protests.
Globalist Drones R Us.
“Protect people not borders”. How stupid is that? What does it even mean? How can you protect your citizens if you don’t defend your borders?
Was it lost in translation?
This stupid.
Having a bad day?
I remember how the same people who were pushing Hillary in 2016 were pushing her out of Obama’s way in 2008.
Spectacular Melania outfit, waiting for Angie’s Melania’s clothing selection analysis!
I love her blazer.
It is really nice to have a FLOTUS who really is a fashion icon after 8 years of Mooch’s “toned arms” and What Not To Wear style.
Yay!
Yay!!!!!
Yay!❤😍
#BeBrainwashed
Trump haters are bad people.
I’ve seen pancakes with more depth.
I couldn’t make it all the way through that, but saw enough. Brainwashed indeed.
I peeked on an ex-friend’s Twitter timeline, and she shared it. I FF to the end. Yeah, their bigotry is OK.
That’s because, as she says, she came out of the womb woke.
LOL.
The ex-friend is in France. Hope she is enjoying things.
This is a nicer celebration.
Woo Hoo! This Wednesday I’m going to get to enjoy some live authentic Motown music. Our local free Concert In The Park is featuring Martha Reeves and the Vandellas for her 77th birthday that day. We live only 3 blocks from the park and fairgrounds, we can hear the music each week from our house if we happen to be outside or have the windows open. They have an outdoor acoustic shell with a small stage built by a curved natural slope that faces the woods, and you can bring a blanket to sit on. During the 4th they had a Beatles cover band that are very good and perform often, we were BBQ’ing and bopping to the songs (and at dusk we can see the fireworks set off at the park from our patio). It’s been ages since we’ve actually strolled up there to watch a concert in person but hubby loves Motown as much as I do and saw it in the paper this morning. So it’s on. Can’t miss seeing the real Martha.
Sounds like fun!
Who didn’t love Motown?
Many, many great artists came from there, but Smokey (🚬) was my guy.
Brother man!😎
Me. That was really before my time though.
Yea, I’m an old timer, but here’s what you missed.
I mended a couple of failed relationships with this.
Yeah, I’m familiar with all of it, and I recognize the high quality production. I just don’t like the music.
You had to be there. 😉
Love, love, love Smokey Robinson.
Me too. Also Jr Walker and the All Stars. ❤️
Nothing like picnics in the park with live music. Enjoy 🙂
These concerts-in-the-parks are the only reason for summers AFAIC. Hope you enjoy yourselves. 💕
HillBuzz is back- new post about Fake News
Over a year and a half since last post. He should meet up with #Walkaway. The movement is what he did in 2008 (?).
Yes he was, in fact, Hillbuzz was my gateway drug to the conservative blogs when PUMA went tits up 😉
TY
In case you missed her…….
Why? What did we do to you?
Haha, here’s another one!
Stay there!
Cold. Cruel.
The little happy family all over the globe! Vomit inducing….
We’re paying for their security and all their expenses too. Let Netflix pick up that tab with that zillion dollar “development” deal.

Ewwww!
After seeing the FLOTUS all this week impeccably dressed, just WTF, I mean WTF is that monstrosity Mooch is wearing.
Why, she and Sasha are both wearing Resting Bitch Face.
Because they know every bit of Barry’s “legacy” is slowly, but surely being undone by President Trump.
And what Trump doesn’t get done this term, he will the next.
The face is gateway to the soul.
Sash😡 Mooch 👿
I thought it was “wretching”, but…..
Is that Sasha in the red pants?! I thought it was a 60 year old woman who’d had work.
Sasha is to Michelle’s left in the photo on the right. The lady in the red pants is Michelle’s fashion coordinator?
OH, thanks for the info. That would be a sad look for a kid but it’s OK for an older gal.
Sasha’s cheekbones are high enough for her to be Lizzie Warren’s half-sister.
Had fox on for a nano second. Hating them as well today. Chris wallace is an idiot.
Praying my president blows all these jackasses out of the water with t h i s Helsinki meet. Their prognostications are insufferable.
You would think they would have learned from prognosticating the election. That went so well for them. They are just poor and pitiful prognosticators. 😎
Loving Senator Hatch. Lol.
Yeah, I’d rather be told the truth from a bombastic blowhard than be lied to politely too 😀
Looks to me that their winters are as white as their citizens.
😀
Apologies folks!
I tried posting a picture of some whacko with a sign on her not the Trooper and his K-9
“My legs are open for refugees”
They certainly are, whether she likes/wants or not.
The sign was photoshopped. The original (in the unaltered photograph) didn’t say that – somebody on the twitter exchange found the original and posted them side-by-side.
Thanks for the 411.
Can’t tell the players any more w/o a program.🙄
As Barack Obama once famously observed, “Elections have consequences.”
If you don’t like the way this one turned out, do better next time. Maybe even try campaigning in Wisconsin instead of the Hamptons.
Oh.!
That’s gonna leave a mark😂👍😂
Whatever you might think of either Trump or Hillary, I don’t see how you can possibly ignore the fact that Clinton ran the single most inept Presidential campaign in living memory. She took the “Blue Wall” for granted and spent all her money and energy in a pointless effort to run up her popular vote totals in New York and California. She ignored repeated warnings from experienced people on the ground that she was in trouble in the battleground states. She basically, as Lambert over on Naked Capitalism observed, “lit a billion dollars on fire and just threw it up in the air.”
Everybody knew the rules going in. Bleating that a legitimate electoral college victory is “unearned” is just pathetic. Complaining that the Republicans might use the Senate rule changes put in place by Harry Reid as precedent to limit debate and push through confirmation is not only pathetic but hypocritical. Yeah, the Republicans control the Senate – they won the elections. That’s kind of what representative democracy is all about.
I’ll get off the soapbox now ;-).
Hillary seemed over confident to me, even when they were doing Common Core math during the Dem primaries (Bernie won the most votes, but Hill gets the delegates?)
I saw the Trump victory by the size of his rallies and he talked TO the people, not AT them. If you read those #WalkAway testimonials, that’s what seemed to bring the Bernies to Trump’s side. Also, a few smarties started realizing the negative Trump media was taking a lot of his rally speeches out of context.
Hillary was confident because IT WAS HER TURN, DAMMIT!
And why am I not 50 points ahead you might ask……? Yeah, that was a vote getter 😉
I have wondered if they were so sure of winning (well losing a fixed election is difficult) that they wanted to run up the popular vote to help energize their efforts to get rid of the electoral college. After-all, they had opened up the country to countless illegals, assorted riff raff, terrorists and a boat load of sociopaths from all over the world to help ensure that global cable would retain power in perpetuity. If they could just erase a few of the remaining barriers, the USA would not just fall, avenues of recourse would have been erased.
Finally, supporters show up!
President Trump has many supporters, I believe at least 63 million here in America, but the State run media of the DNC, only chooses to run the negative.
His supporters have always been there, but the media just doesn’t show them. The big Pro-Trump/Free Tommy rally yesterday in London did “not exist” either. What was covered was called a Nazi rally.
Well here’s how the future brain surgeon who was just, I mean just turning his life when the racist po-leese done shot him.

He was jus funn’n!! Seems like Chicago street thugs have upgraded their concealed carry “kit”.
Up grading.
Sure, why not.
I know accuracy counts, but earlier today on another website was a link to another state, perhaps more locally, a school board meeting where it was discussed of un-arming SRO’s
That means putting more victims in a gun-free zone…excuse me, 😂 BWHAAAAA, f’king, 😂BWHAAAAA.
Cops with no guns assigned to a school to provide protection against active shooter’s.
Oh, yea, that’s the ticket.😡
Didn’t the Beatles have a song “Dead Thug In The Middle Of The Road?”
First rule of street: If you’re innocent, don’t run. Police aren’t out hunting for fun, just trying to keep the street’s safe.
Precisely.
Don’t run and mostly definitely, don’t resist.
Then everyone go’s home safely.
Learn from the mob.
Take the arrest, call your attorney, see the judge, post your bond and walk out the door.
That was definitely not a “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” moment. Glad they had cameras, it’s going to cut down on a lot of that BLM sh*t.
Body cameras are awesome.
Running and/or resisting when the cops try to arrest you is a good tactic if you would prefer going to the morgue or the hospital instead of jail.
This took place 1/2 block from where I lived while going to high school. It used to be a really nice area in South Shore. Not so much now. ☹️

Also the WaPo article mentions inflation going up. Duh. The Fed deliberately inflates the dollar every year, the target inflation rate being 2%.
Gut feeling tomorrow is going to be YUUUUGE.
Great conversation by Cleese and reporters on fake news. Apparently it’s even worse and nasty in the UK, and why Cleese is leaving the UK for good.
