It’s Wednesday, November 30th, 2022…and guys, there are only 25 shopping days left before Christmas! Though as evidenced by this item from FOX, not content to wait until Black Friday, some “guys” decided to start their Christmas shopping early by taking advantage of the old five-finger discount, as the…
“Sam Brinton, a senior Energy Department (DOE) official, was charged with stealing a traveler’s luggage in the Minneapolis airport in September, shortly before quietly taking a leave of absence.
Brinton — who serves as the DOE’s deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition — allegedly took a Vera Bradley suitcase worth $2,325 from the luggage carousel at the Minneapolis St. Paul Airport (MSP) on Sept. 16, according to a criminal complaint filed on Oct. 26 in Minnesota state court and obtained by Fox News Digital.Brinton had traveled from Washington, D.C., to MSP that day.
After the suitcase’s owner alerted police, officers reviewed video surveillance of the carousel and identified Brinton taking the luggage before removing its tag identifying the owner, the court filings stated. Law enforcement observed Brinton using the luggage during at least two other trips to Washington, D.C., on Sept. 18 and Oct. 9.
Then, on Oct. 9, Brinton denied stealing anything when a police officer called to discuss the incident.Brinton confirmed still possessing the suitcase…”
Sorry, we can’t help but conclude no sane man would put their career at risk by stealing a Vera Bradley suitcase.
Don’t attempt to convince US transgenderism isn’t a form of mental illness. Then again, assuming he ever goes to prison, Brinton likely has a bright future on either CNN or MSLSD.
Thus does the life once more imitate art, in this case the dystopian world of Soylent Green:
It’s worth noting should Progressives be permitted to pursue imposition of green energy programs to their desired ends, the two-tiered, have/have-not society depicted in this classic sci-fi thriller, with its shortages of power, food, water and other essentials for the 99%, will inevitably become reality.
Don’t think it can happen? Consider this item from the Washington Examiner forwarded by Nick, and then think again:
“The Dutch government is planning to buy out and close as many as 3,000 farms in the country, exacerbating an already-bitter dispute with growers as leaders attempt to halve the country’s nitrogen emissions by 2030. Leaders said last week they plan to allocate some $25 billion to the buyout plan, which they will use to purchase between 2,000 and 3,000 Dutch farms and other large nitrogen emitters “well over” their property values.
If farmers do not agree to the plan, the buyouts could become compulsory. “There is no better offer coming,” Dutch Nitrogen Minister Christianne van der Wal told members of parliament last week.
The plan comes as the Dutch government moves to halve its nitrogen emissions by 2030 in accordance with European Union conservation rules. But to meet that target, the government estimates that 11,200 farms will have to close, and 17,600 others will have to reduce their livestock numbers significantly…“
If you’ll forgive the pun, the Dutch government must think food grows on trees!
Meanwhile, as our energy correspondent Jeff Foutch informs us, a short distance to the west…
“…I’m not saying you have to like Ron DeSantis. I’m not saying he’s always going to make the right decision. You may well disagree with a whole lot of DeSantis’s decisions. But I do think a guy with Yale undergrad and Harvard Law School andservice as a legal adviser to a SEAL team in Iraqand a successful stint as a federal prosecutorand what he’s done as a congressman and as a governor andhaving run a reelection bid that won a landslide in a previously evenly-split state . . . I think if you add all of that up, you find a guy who is probably not dumb. I’m not saying all of these past experiences are surefire, 100 percent indicators of a lot of brain cells at work. Maybe you’ve met some people who went to Harvard whom you wouldn’t trust to cross the street by themselves. But if a person is successful in one chapter of life after another, they’ve probably got something going on upstairs.
“Not dumb” does not necessarily mean smarter than you; maybe you’re really smart! But in some people’s minds, conceding that DeSantis is not dumb would bring their entire political worldview crashing down. All Republicans must be dumb, just as they must always be insane, and always be greedy and selfish, and so on.
Welcome to the tiring world of political demonization, where every foe who comes down the pike must be the repository of all negative traits and attributes, even if those traits contradict. The political enemy du jour is simultaneously an idiot and an evil mastermind, personally repellent and lacking charisma while simultaneously being a seductive and manipulative snake-oil salesman, and a bumbling inexperienced amateur who is somehow also part of the old calcified establishment who’s been in power too long.
It’s all so tiresome, and so self-evidently an attempt to throw every criticism simultaneously to see what sticks.“
This truly tiresome tactic started with the Dimocrats’ characterization of Ronald Reagan as senile yet simultaneously single-handedly micromanaging every aspect of his Administration, as memorialized in this classic SNL skit:
As TLJ would say, “Yeah…whatever!”

<1% of people woke up wondering what hockey thought of transgenders. And yet major U.S. brands continue to virtue signal to a minuscule percent of the country on LGBTQ & race-related topics.
While the majority country finds these messages unnecessary and annoying grandstanding. https://t.co/aJ11LJJOVJ
And please, spare us the “it’s the right thing to do because transgenders are under increasing threat of harassment and attack” trope.
(4). As RedState reports, “Anyone shocked by the report that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) withheld data about a potentially fatal complication from COVID-19 vaccinations until it was forced under court order to release the data hasn’t been paying attention to the CDC’s multitude of misstatements and lies over the last two years.”

Finally, we’ll call it a wrap with another titillating tale torn from the pages of The Crime Blotter, courtesy today of another inaccurate headline from FOX informing us a…
“A survivor of the recent Walmart mass shooting in Chesapeake, Va. that killed six people filed a lawsuit against the retailer on Tuesday in the Virginia court system, seeking $50 million in compensatory damages. The plaintiff, identified in the complaint as Walmart employee Donya Prioleau, accused the company of “negligent hiring and retention” in connection to the alleged shooter, Andre Bing, a team lead.
Prioleau claims Walmart continued to employ him and failed to take certain steps like investigating his history and restricting his common area access “when he had known propensities for violence, threats, and strange behavior, among other things,” according to a copy of the complaint uploaded by WAVY.
Bing “frequently made bizarre and inappropriate comments” to Prioleau and others that were reported to management, including asking the plaintiff to “borrow her hair” and about “shouldn’t you be having kids,” the lawsuit alleged. The suit also claimed Bing had a “long-standing reputation for being a cruel manager” and “had been disciplined in the past.”
The complaint said Bing told co-workers that he ran over a turtle with a lawnmower “just to see its [guts] spray out.”
…According to the lawsuit, bullets “whizzed” by Prioleau’s “face and left side, barely missing her” during the shooting. It said she “witnessed several of her coworkers being brutally murdered on either side of her” and saw one of her coworkers sustain a bullet wound to the neck.
Prioleau injured her knee and elbow when she fell during the shooting. She has since also been experiencing emotional distress and post-traumatic stress disorder, the lawsuit alleged.“
Sooo,…Prioleau was hardly a “shooting” victim. Perhaps more importantly, according to a report from Norfolk’s WKBN…
“Prioleau also complained that Bing had harassed her for “being poor and being short,” according to the lawsuit.“
The former being a condition Prioleau hopes to rectify with her frivolous lawsuit.
Not that it will make a difference to a jury of Prioleau’s peers, but her lawsuit is akin to throwing massive amounts of sh*t against a wall and seeing if any of it sticks, including, but in now way limited, to the following:
First, the legal definition of what constitutes a ” long-standing reputation for being a cruel manager”. It’s not like a Walmart team leader can condemn an associate to solitary confinement, hard labor or the galleys…
Second, unless she grew up in the South Side Chicago, East St. Louis or West Baltimore, what experience or training does Prioleau have that would enable her to judge the proximity of her “face and left side” to the whizzing bullets?
Lastly…
