BECAUSE WOMEN ARE SO MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE ARRESTED– WHAT? White House Plan for ‘Gender Equity’ Includes Elimination of Cash Bail.
Look, they’re not even pretending to make sense. How long will we tolerate this?
SO LONG AS THE FEDS KNOW WE’RE MONITORING THEM HARDER: Garland Defiantly Pledges Feds Will Continue Monitoring Parents Protesting At School Boards.
Do they need a reminder that we the people are their bosses? Because they won’t like us when we’re angry. We have so many, many ways to say “You’re Fired.”
NO. OTOH, THE JUNTA IS: Are Parents a National Security Threat?
THEY DO REALIZE THEY DON’T OWN US, RIGHT? Beware The Government That Wants to Tax “Unrealized Capital Gains”.
They should study the real FDR history and his crimes against economics, before they drink their own ink and get froggy.

WHY THE SUPPLY CHAIN CRISIS IS SO REVEALING: Joel Kotkin: Slow Boat From China.
To some in the Biden Administration, the supply chain crisis can be dismissed as a loss of East Asian-made consumer trinkets that, as Vox tells us, we could all be better off without—or as White House spokesperson Jen Psaki suggested, amounts to little more than “the tragedy of the delayed treadmill.” Yet, in reality, a broken supply chain is hardly a rich man’s problem—global bankers are having their best year ever—but mostly impacts ordinary folks suffering from rising prices for everything from soybeans to natural gas. The crisis is now expected to last for at least a year.
The chaos on the ground level may not much hurt the elites of Manhattan or Palo Alto, but inflation, which is now expected to continue apace for at least the next year, has wiped out wage gains in the U.S., the UK, and Germany. Low-income groups are the most threatened, struggling to pay energy costs, surging rents, and higher food prices. All this is also eroding President Biden’s already weak poll numbers.
Our vulnerability to supply chain disruption clearly predates the Biden Administration, forged by the abandonment of the production economy over the past 50 years by American business and government, encouraged and applauded by the clerisy of business consultants. The result has been massive trade deficits that now extend to high-tech products, and even components for military goods, many of which are now produced in China. When companies move production abroad, they often follow up by shifting research and development as well. All we are left with is advertising the products, and ringing up the sales, assuming they arrive.
Unable to stock shelves, procure parts, power your home, or even protect your own country without waiting for your ship to come in, Americans are now unusually vulnerable to shipping rates shooting up to ten times higher than before the pandemic. Not surprisingly, pessimism about America’s direction, after a brief improvement Biden’s election, has risen by 20 points. The shipping crisis is now projected to last through 2023.
Not everyone loses here. For years the American establishment saw China as more of an opportunity than a danger. High-tech firms, entertainment companies, and investment banks profit, or hope to, from our dependency, becoming in essence the new “China lobby.” Behind the scenes these representatives of enlightened capital often work to prevent condemnation for the Middle Kingdom’s mercantilist policy, and its joint repression of democracy and ethnic minorities.
After all, the pain is not felt in elite coastal enclaves, but in Youngstown, south Los Angeles, and myriad other decaying locales.
Plus:
But even possessing the best piece of real estate on the planet is not enough if you don’t take advantage of it. America’s brief flirtation with energy self-sufficiency is now being undermined both by increased imports from the Middle East and a drive to wipe out much of our domestic production. The passionate embrace of renewable energy bolsters China’s dominance of solar panels and the essential metals needed to produce “clean” electricity and electric cars.
In traditional colonialism, nations colonized other countries in order to seize their wealth and organize trade to their own benefit. In neocolonialism, rulers colonize their own nations while collaborating with foreign enemies. But in the 21st Century, Western rulers view their own populace as their most dangerous foes.
Finally: “Under normal circumstances, we would expect a government more focused on reshoring and addressing the supply chain than indulging in virtue signaling on everything from climate to race and gender.”
Well, yes.

KAROL MARKOWICZ: The war on parents is real.
The Washington Free Beacon reported “Education Secretary Miguel Cardona on Oct. 13 appointed National School Board Association president Viola Garcia to the National Assessment Governing Board, which develops the tests used to track student achievement across the country.” The controversial memo was released on September 29th.
Parents should worry about all of this. An ideologically-aligned cabal of people in various agencies of the federal government are working together to shut them down.
It’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s all done very openly. The threat to parents is also very real.
There’s no reason for the attorney general’s involvement. If any altercation, verbal or physical, occurs at a school board meeting that is an issue for local police enforcement.
Garland’s role is only to stifle speech and to issue a warning to parents to limit their challenges to authority lest they be punished.
QED: Garland defends DOJ memo despite NSBA letter being withdrawn.
IT’S COMPLICATED: ‘We’re being pressured into sex by some trans women.’ “Is a lesbian transphobic if she does not want to have sex with trans women? Some lesbians say they are increasingly being pressured and coerced into accepting trans women as partners – then shunned and even threatened for speaking out.”
BYLINES OF BRUTALITY: Man Arrested For Threatening To Kill Matt Gaetz Worked For CNN, ABC, NBC.
A California man arrested last week for allegedly threatening to kill Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and his family is an Emmy-nominated cameraman who has worked for ABC, NBC and CNN, according to WEAR.
After the DOJ dragged its feet over the voicemail death threat left at Gaetz’ office, 58-year-old Eugene Huelsman of Thousand Oaks was arrested.
According to online databases, a Eugene Huelsman based in Thousand Oaks has worked for decades as a camera operator on film and television productions, garnering five Emmy nominations for his work on NBC’s “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” –Politico
“Tell [M.G.] to watch his back, tell him to watch his children,” Huelsman allegedly said, according to a grand jury indictment issued in May. “I’m coming for him… I’m gonna f—ing kill him… I’m gonna put a bullet in you and I’m gonna put a bullet in one of your f—ing kids too.”
On Tuesday, Gaetz confirmed to Politico that he was the target of the alleged threats — which came as he played a prominent role in advancing claims of election fraud in the 2020 US presidential election.

QUESTIONS NOBODY IS ASKING: Is Arizona’s Kyrsten Sinema bad for bisexual Americans?
It wasn’t that long ago that embattled Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema was hailed as a triumph of bisexual representation. After she was sworn in in January 2019, Out celebrated the first openly bisexual senator as a “rebuke to Trumpism,” positioning the “sassy lawmaker” in opposition to homophobic then-Vice President Mike Pence.
But just a few years into her tenure, public opinion has soured on Sinema. Instead of a brash, bisexual icon willing and able to stand up to the far right, she’s now seen as an unreliable centrist, a self-absorbed Democratic turncoat more fixated on getting attention and lining her own pockets than uplifting her community. No longer a bi icon, she’s now held up as a cautionary tale about the limits of representation.
Sinema doesn’t like being filmed in bathrooms, and only supports burning up $1.5 trillion taxpayer dollars — she must be evil incarnate!

LEFTY ARCHEOLOGISTS FIND THE ‘REAL’ CONSTITUTION: Leave it to Jeff Dunetz of The Lid to dig up this bombshell of a story about a group of whacked-out archeologists’ discovery of the Constitution of 1790.
They found it in a cave on the Potomac River. Scrawled on one of the walls was a wise saying written in something of an ancient, as-yet-untranslated language. See if you can figure it out: “Etslay Ogay Andonbray”
