LIGHTNING IN ARIZONA: Well, five F-35A Lightnings at Luke AFB, Arizona.

THIS IS THE SAME GERMANY WHICH SHUT DOWN ALL ITS ZERO-CARBON NUCLEAR PLANTS: Germany may introduce ‘meat tax’ to protect the environment.

Currently meat in the country has a reduced tax rate of seven per cent but the Social Democrat party and the Greens are arguing that this should increase to the standard 19 per cent, with additional revenue spent on improving animal welfare.

“I am in favour of abolishing the VAT reduction for meat and earmarking it for more animal welfare,” Friedrich Ostendorf, agricultural policy spokesperson for the Greens told The Local website.

He said it mad “no sense” that meat was taxed at seven per cent while oat milk is taxed at 19 per cent.

It doesn’t make any sense. Isn’t the existence of oat milk punishment enough for those who have to drink it?

REMINDER: A cave on gun-rights could make Trump a one-termer, the way caving on taxes did for George H.W. Bush. Democrats and the media know this, which is why they’re trying to get him to cave.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Crazy Joe the Wonder Veep Friday. “Biden’s greatest gift to American conservatives is that his unbridled tongue can’t help but bare the souls of our leftists. They may have the media forever spinning and covering for them, but Joey Scranton can waltz in and unveil their true intentions with the greatest of ease.”

JOURNALISMING:

And from the thread:

And even then, the reader is left to guess at why or how he could have been found removable.

This oblique paragraph is all there is: “Aldaoud had a criminal conviction for disorderly conduct and served 17 months for a home invasion.”

Disorderly conduct is not typically something that makes you removable.

Home invasion, depending on what the home invasion really was (that’s not actually how states categorize this type crime, again, great job, journos), might be. But, again, the reader still can have no idea.

And it’s hard to believe that the failure of immigration journalists to convey the *how* and *why* people could be removed from the U.S. is anything but intentional.

Yes, it’s a sad story. They’re all sad stories. But readers deserve to know how and why individuals get removed.

It’s almost like immigration journalists want their readers to think that removal is at random. Or, even worse, that it’s purposefully sadistic.

This Politico piece almost invites the reader to think he was removed because he’s insulin-dependent. It’s bad journalism.

But it furthers the cause.
