“The suspect was described as a black male over six feet tall wearing a light-colored hooded sweatshirt.“
Except he WASN’T, as we took particular notice when first reading about the incident the shooter was described as “as a six foot tall man wearing a light-colored hooded sweatshirt”, which led us to think…
You know, one which included the RACE of the suspect?!?
Meanwhile, the first drops in a trickle which we fear will soon become a flood:
At which point residents of America’s cities will learn to be very, very careful for what they wish. As for us…
As for Derek Chauvin, he was offered up as a sacrifice to a mindless mob egged by stupefyingly stupid and inaccurate comments such as these:
“It was a murder in the full light of day and it ripped the blinders off the whole world to see. Systemic racism is a stain on our nation’s soul.”
Pardon our French, but WTF did George Floyd’s death have to do with systemic racism?!? As we said in our Quote of the Day, especially in light of the short time it took them to reach a guilty verdict on all three counts (which caused Speed to quip, “He was guilty of a lot, but not that much!”), the jury ignored the facts and convicted on feelings.
Other than wishing Chauvin a speedy and successful appeal.
And as that non compos mentis nincompoop urges America to honor the memory of a career criminal and drug addict by ending a non-existent racial schism…
We’d advise Hunter and The Big Guy to sell their Burisma shares!
Now, here’s The Gouge!
First up, though 46* practically patented such idiocies, we’ve come to expect far better from NRO, as Brittany Bernstein utilizes the same skewed statistics to recount another meaningless milestone:
“…The grim milestone comes just three months after the global death toll surpassed 2 million in January. Yet experts believe the actual toll is higher due to potential data concealment and cases that went undetected in 2019, according to AP. The United States leads the world in COVID deaths — 566,224 — followed by Brazil with 368,749 and Mexico with 211,693.
…The AP notes that “The number of lives lost, as compiled by Johns Hopkins University, is about equal to the population of Kyiv, Ukraine; Caracas, Venezuela; or metropolitan Lisbon, Portugal. It is bigger than Chicago (2.7 million) and equivalent to Philadelphia and Dallas combined.”…”
Several thoughts come immediately to mind: (i) Other “experts” believe the actual toll to be much lower, as they have first-hand knowledge U.S. deaths are grossly inflated, as the demise of anyone from any cause who tests positive for the Wuhan virus is chalked up to COVID; (ii) So you’re buying China’s bullsh*t death count?; and (iii), sorry, but who would miss Philadelphia?!?
“…“A Utah paramedic donated to the defense fund of Kyle Rittenhouse. It was first reported in the @guardian this morning. Rittenhouse is accused of killing two protesters in Kenosha, WI. I tried to get the paramedics [sic] side of things. See the story tonight at 10p on @abc4utah,” Nguyen wrote to accompany a photo taken as he knocked on the paramedic’s front door…”
Here’s an idea: Let’s find out where Jason Nguyen lives and camp out his doorstep to get HIS side of the story.
Next, courtesy of James Nichols, Revolver relates how the…
“…During an investigation that appears to have been conducted under a cloak of extreme secrecy, it was determined there wasn’t “sufficient evidence to support criminal prosecution.” Isn’t that convenient?
It’s a baffling conclusion when you look at the criminal justice circus we’re watching unfold in Minneapolis with the Derek Chauvin trial. That officer is facing a murder charge involving a man who ingested enough Fentanyl to kill a herd of elephants.
The fact that we don’t know this officer’s name is concerning enough, but what’s equally concerning is that we don’t even know what agency he belongs to. Was this officer part of the Capitol Police force?Well, the secrecy surrounding the case would suggest that yes perhaps he was, but we’re only speculating.
Everything is a mystery when it comes to the Capitol Police because they operate under a totally different set of rules. Thanks to their buddies in Congress, the U.S. Capitol Police do not follow the same public reporting or transparency protocols that most other major police forces do. For example, if someone is shot outside the Capitol by a DC police officer, the department is required by law to release the names of the officers involved in the shooting. The Capitol Police force is not required to release the names of officers involved in any shooting, and most-often times they choose to withhold that information from the public.
Not to mention, Capitol Police are also under no obligation to respond to FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests.
The Capitol Police are part of the Legislative Branch and are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. That means if a journalist or watchdog group asks for records on police misconduct or inspector general reports, they’ll come up empty because Capitol Police are not required under the law to comply. Not very “transparent” policing, is it?
If the man who shot Ashli Babbit is not in fact a member of the Capitol Police, is it possible that authorities are studiously hiding his agency affiliation in order to avoid FOIA requests which don’t apply to Capitol Police but could for other agencies (say, the Secret Service).
Some more facts. Unlike most major police departments, Capitol police are not equipped with body cameras.
Honestly, it’s mind-boggling that Democrats are demanding a nation-wide discussion on police reform and transparency, yet the officers who are sworn to protect them have almost no transparency and no accountability whatsoever to the public who pay their salaries…”
Next thing you know, Congress will be voting themselves raises and exempting themselves from the laws they impose on the rest of us.
And how, one might ask, do the Capitol Police occupy their time when they’re not shooting unarmed rioters or refusing FOIA requests? Why, arranging police escorts for members of the Legislative branch…like Mad Maxine:
Since we’re on the subject of Mad Maxine, though, like Trey Gowdy, Kevin McCarthy TALKS big, what can he actually do about Waters?
Townhall.com‘s Matt Vespa has heard rumblings McCarthy might move to censure her, a talking-to so stern only 23 members in the history of the House have been forced to endure it.
Moving on, we present nine more items specifically selected for inquiring Conservative minds:
(2). Members of Indianapolis’ tight-knit Sikh community joined with city officials to call for gun reforms Saturday as they mourned the deaths of four Sikhs who were among the eight people killed in a mass shooting at a FedEx warehouse. Here’s an idea: go back to India. Oh, we forgot: You came HERE because you were persecuted there, and India’s incredibly restrictive gun laws didn’t permit you to defend yourselves against angry mobs.
As Clay Travis wrote, “Can you trust anything this network says or does? Put simply, you can’t!” Such a deliberately dishonest description of events reminds us of the continued claims mouthed by the MSM that five people were killed during the January 6th riot at the Capitol. No, ONE person was murdered; the other four died as best can be determined of cardiac-related events.
(4). Sorry, make that four confirmed as dying of natural causes, as in a related item, NRO informs us the D.C. medical examiner just made it official: Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes, having suffered two strokes caused by a blood clot. Which makes Jeffrey Rosen, then acting Attorney General, either a liar or a feckless fool, as he had to know at the time he weighed in on Sicknick’s death the body bore no evidence of blunt force trauma.
(8). Courtesy of James Nichols, RedState reveals, while fining Michigan businesses for violating their arbitrary edicts and urging the populace to refrain from traveling out of state for spring break, Elizabeth Hertel, the head of the Department of Health and Human services, Tricia Foster, the state’s vaccine roll-out chief and the governess herself, Wretched Witmer, all recently left Michigan for sunnier climes while either partially or unvaccinated. Rules for thee, not for them!
(9). The New York Post tells us how Black Lies Matter protesters who rallied for another “victim”…an armed carjacker who repeatedly shot at police and was only killed after he leaped from the first car he’d stolen at gunpoint and was trying to carjack a second…leave after learning he was White.
Which brings us, appropriately enough, to The Lighter Side:
Then there’s these from Balls Cotton…
…Speed…
…Ed Hickey…
…and last, but certainly never least, this instant classic from James Nichols:
Finally, we’ll call it a wrap with the You GO, Dad! segment, as we learn a…
“After she told me the news I was thrilled to be able to put it to other use,” the father explained. “My car has been having some trouble lately so I decided to just treat myself and get a new car in cash with the wedding fund. I paid about [$30,000] and with the rest of the money my wife and I decided we would take our own little getaway. I didn’t think this was controversial.“
This brings to mind one of our favorite bits from The Three Stooges:
Neither did the bride know hers!
