NO BIG DEAL IN DC THAT POLITICIANS LIE: John Solomon of Just the News on the moral of the Sussman verdict – As the jury forewoman put it: “There are bigger things that affect the nation than a possible lie to the FBI.”

WELL, YOU WOULDN’T THINK THAT: You’d Think Ten Guns Fired Themselves and Injured 10 People in One Day in Portland. “Portland is one of the wokest cities around. The woke city leaders dismantled the police gun team and the riot squad — actually, all those guys just up and quit — and defunded the overall department, which resulted in a flood of cops leaving. The result has been an explosion in crime. Now, the mayor, a talentless tool who is the police commissioner and oversaw this dismantling at the request of Antifa and their BLM buddies, is attempting to backfill the cop shop.”

EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Biden Touts ‘Historic Recovery’ as US Barrels Toward Recession.

RATS PREPARING TO JUMP THE BIDEN SHIP: The problem is other rats will jump onboard to continue the madness. Ron Klain, His Fraudulency’s current White House Chief of Staff, reportedly has decided to leave the administration after the midterms (given his tenure, that’s the least he can do).

But guess who the insiders are pointing to as a potential Klain successor? Andrew Stiles says it’s Anita Dunn. Yes, that Anita Dunn of “Oh, Chairman Mao is one of my two favorite political philosophers” fame. She also was a damage control advisor to sexual harassment expert Harvey Weinstein.

DEAL OF THE DAY: Chef Knife 8 inch Kitchen Knife. #CommissionEarned

IF SOMETHING CANNOT GO ON FOREVER IT WILL STOP: The housing market just slid into a full-blown correction, says top economist Mark Zandi.

I’M ON THEIR BOARD: New Civil Liberties Alliance Pushes Back Against Administrative Overreach.

CRIME WAVE COMING TO D.C.’S VIRGINIA SUBURBS: In fact, in some respects, it is already there. Here are two of them, according to the Washington Free Beacon’s Josh Christenson. Two Soros-backed prosecutors, one in Arlington and one in Fairfax County, right across the Potomac River from the White House and Capitol.

RACISM, STRAIGHT UP: Another ‘Historic’ Biden First: Black Staffers Leaving White House in Droves. “At least 21 Black staffers have left the White House since late last year or are planning to leave soon. Some of those who remain say it’s no wonder why: They describe a work environment with little support from their superiors and fewer chances for promotion.”

TO BE FAIR, CALIFORNIA NEEDS A RECESSION: Joel Kotkin: California needs a recession: Its progressive rulers deserve a rude awakening.

There’s nothing to suggest that progressive rulers mind when their jurisdiction slip into poverty. In fact, they seem to see it as an opportunity to further consolidate their power.

VISIBLE FROM ACROSS THE SEA:  The US justice system: one for the D nomenklatura, another for the rest.

MUCH OF THE LAND IN COLORADO IS ONLY FIT FOR PASTURE:  The Misguided Meat Vortex.

Poor pasture at that.

AMERICANS DON’T TAKE ORDERS WELL:  Pushback: HOA demands flag be removed; Neighbors rally and raise their own flags.

WE KNOW:  Our government’s Executive Branch is deliberately destroying liberty.

YEAH. THAT:  From Senseless Trauma to Predictable Hackery.

BEHOLD, MY SHOCKED FACE:  Biden’s Nothing-Burger Plan for Inflation Equates to Socialism.

THEY DIDN’T POSITION ZHOU BI-DEN FOR SUCCESS!  Biden Mad That Aides Keep Cleaning Up After Him.

THE SHOOTINGS WILL CONTINUE TILL YOU PEONS GIVE UP YOUR GUNS:  California Votes To End Mandatory Reporting On Students Who Threaten Schools.

IT’S SO GOOD TO KNOW WE’RE ONCE MORE RESPECTED IN THE WORLD:  After Biden Pledged to Defend Taiwan, Chinese Warplanes Violate Country’s Air Defense Zone.

IT WON’T END THERE. I TOLD YOU. THEY’VE PAINTED THEMSELVES INTO A CORNER:   Biden Reportedly Preparing to Forgive $10,000 in Student Loan Debt Per Borrower.

And there’s only one way out.

WELL, OF COURSE THEY ARE: Chinese Military Planning to Target Elon Musk’s Starlink Satellites.

JUSTICE: Sussmann Juror Is Talking, and It’s an Eye-Opener. Plus, from Jonathan Turley: “I mean, he is facing a jury that has three Clinton donors, an AOC donor, and a woman whose daughter is on the same sports team with Sussmann’s daughter. With the exception of randomly selecting people out of the DNC headquarters, you could not come up with a worse jury.”

ALSO, THE ECONOMY IS GREAT AND OUR FOREIGN POLICY IS A SUCCESS: Greenwald: Democrats “Priming” People To Believe The Country Is In A Slump “Because You’re Too Dumb To Understand Your Own Lives.” “The Democrats lost an election they never expected to lose. They basically lost to a reality TV show host when Hillary Clinton had all the backing of the establishment in the world. And instead of asking, what is it about our ideology that ruled the country for eight years, that drove people away from us into Donald Trump’s arms, they instead decided they were going to blame everybody else.”

Well, he’s not wrong.

OPEN THREAD: You think you’ve got your way.
