I SPOTTED THAT TOO. IT’S TIME WE CLEANED UP A VOTING PROCESS THAT WOULD SHAME A THIRD WORLD BANANA REPUBLIC:  The Democrats Explain Their Voter Fraud Plans.

Vote on the day only, with ID. Have to be registered a month in advance, with a verified address. And your finger will get stained in purple dye. The end. Anything else, and you’re risking the dilution of the vote of legitimate citizens.  Who, quite frankly, have had about enough. Or at least I have.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, ISN’T THIS LIKE REBUILDING IN THE PATH OF THE FIRESTORM … AGAIN? UNTIL THE POLITICS OF BIG CITIES CHANGE — THAT IS, UNTIL WE CLEAN UP OUR VOTING PROCESS — NO BUSINESS IS SAFE ANYWHERE GOVERNED BY DEMOCRATS:  Insurance Costs Hinder Rebuild In Minneapolis.

Remember in November.

LOOK, MY HAIR HAS BEEN WHITE SINCE I WAS 28.  I WILL NOT GO TO A SALON AND WEAR A MASK. SO I DECIDED I’D JUST GO WHITE AND LET IT GROW OUT TILL THE INSANITY PASSED. BUT I GOT THE WRONG KIND OF COLOR REMOVER, SO I HAVE WHAT SON NICKNAMED “A GOLDEN SCALP WEASEL.” BUT QUEEN NANCY GETS TO GO TO THE SALON WITHOUT A MASK? IT’S NOT JUST ME. THOUSANDS OF WOMEN JUST SCREAMED OUT IN OUTRAGE:  Pelosi Gets A Wash, Peasants Get The Spin.

And for the record, I don’t think there’s ANY need for any of us to wear a mask, particularly not ineffective, bacteria-culturing bits of cloth. This has passed the point of ridiculous.

WHY TURMOIL IN BELARUS MATTERS:

Twenty-first-century political geography, however, damns Belarus with a damnation that matters. Check the map. Belarus is the linchpin of nuclear-armed Russia’s western front, the mirror image of Poland’s new role in defending NATO’s eastern front.

I encourage you to read the entire column.

ANALYSIS: TRUE.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE BATTLESPACE PREPARATION FOR MASSIVE VOTE FRAUD: Exclusive: Dem group warns of apparent Trump Election Day landslide. “A top Democratic data and analytics firm told ‘Axios on HBO’ it’s highly likely that President Trump will appear to have won — potentially in a landslide — on election night, even if he ultimately loses when all the votes are counted.”

Stalin said it doesn’t matter who votes, but who counts the votes. But people know that now, and the months of (Democrat-incited) civil unrest have moved the Overton Window on political violence. If this leads to Democrats being hanged from lampposts, it’s their own fault.

OPEN THREAD: Disport yourselves in the comments.

IS THE NEW YORK TIMES A LIBERAL NEWSPAPER? OF COURSE IT IS:

I’m so old, I remember when the only thing that leftist journalists openly admitted not being objective about was global warming.

(Wait until Nikole Hannah-Jones discovers how one of her predecessors at the Times eschewed the daylights out of objectivity when it came to covering an actual dictator — and like Jones, copped a Pulitzer for his efforts.)

RULES ARE FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE: Pelosi used shuttered San Francisco hair salon for blow-out, owner calls it ‘slap in the face.’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited a San Francisco hair salon on Monday afternoon for a wash and blow-out, despite local ordinances keeping salons closed amid the coronavirus pandemic, Fox News had learned.

In security footage obtained by Fox News, and timestamped Monday at 3:08 p.m. Pacific Time, the California powerhouse is seen walking through eSalon in San Francisco with wet hair, and without a mask over her mouth or nose.

The stylist doing her hair can be seen following her wearing a black face mask.

Salons in San Francisco had been closed since March and were only notified they could reopen on Sept. 1 for outdoor hairstyling services only.

As Bryan Preston wrote in April: Here’s One Thing Officials Can Do to Make Lockdown Life Better: Stop Being Hypocritical Tyrants.

It’s very hard on free people who are used to being able to do what they want when they want, who had a job one day and thanks to a government decree they don’t have a job the next day. They didn’t ask for any of this, nor did they cause it. When we see Chicago’s mayor ban haircuts, and then get one herself because she’s privileged and you’re not and she imposes a curfew on others for no evident reason, and when we see a Texas county judge apparently violate his own stay at home order, it sends the entirely wrong signal in a republic where the people are supposed to be the government.

It also hints at something a whole lot darker that our dear leaders had better not let fester. And the best thing they can do to prevent that is to stop acting like petty little tyrants.

And then the “mostly peaceful protestors” arrived shortly thereafter, to illustrate just how uber-woke Covid itself is, and how rioting for the right cause creates an immunity to the pathogen otherwise not found in local shops and salons.

UPDATE: For sheer chutzpah, it’s tough to top this: “Nancy Pelosi’s office has confirmed the speaker got her hair cut indoors in a San Francisco salon, but released a statement claiming she didn’t know she’d done anything wrong.
