OPEN THREAD: Hope everything’s okay, since I left you.
NEWSWEEK SAID THE LINE WHILE REPORTING ON THE PELOSI DUI! Republicans Pounce!
Evergreen:
Just think of the media as Nancy Pelosi’s operatives with bylines, and all that pouncing and seizing makes perfect sense.
WHEN THE “I DID THAT” STICKER IS BUILT IN:
DISPATCHES FROM TRUDEAUPIA: Trudeau announces national handgun ban.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced a national ban on handguns, among other measures targetting law-abiding firearm owners.
Bill C-21 includes various gun control measures including reducing the size of magazines to only hold five rounds and banning the sale of large capacity clips.
“(The) national freeze on handguns (would) prevent individuals from bringing newly acquired handguns into Canada and from buying, selling, and transferring handguns within the country,” a press release stated on Monday.
“In addition to this new legislation, the Government of Canada will require long-gun magazines to be permanently altered so they can never hold more than five rounds and will ban the sale and transfer of large capacity magazines under the Criminal Code.”
As Mark Hemingway tweets, “Finally, a chance to invade and annex Canada.”
As for other restrictions, Prime Minister Zoolander can’t get enough: Liberals vote against motion to end Covid restrictions for travellers.

WAS IT OVER WHEN THE GERMANS BOMBED PEARL HARBOR?
As Emily Zanotti tweets, “The USS Intrepid was not at Pearl Harbor. No American carriers were, but definitely not the Intrepid which was commissioned two years after the bombing.”
Forget it though, he’s rolling: On Memorial Day, Mayor Adams says NYC faces ‘Pearl Harbor moment’ in COVID.
Adams drew the parallel to the 1941 attack while delivering remarks onboard the USS Intrepid, which was active as a fighter vessel in World War II.
The Intrepid, which is now a museum docked at Pier 86 on Manhattan’s West Side, was a symbol of American “resiliency” after the Pearl Harbor tragedy left a cloud of “uncertainty” over the country, Adams said.
“We too are that. This is a Pearl Harbor moment,” he said.
Referencing COVID, Adams continued: “We lost loved ones and family members to the uncertainty if they were ever returned from a hospital. Our economy took a devastating dive. Many people lost their homes and businesses. The uncertainty hovered our entire nation, but just as then we are here now: We will survive.”
Joining Adams onboard the Intrepid was Gov. Hochul, who cracked a joke about her and the mayor “making history” by both attending the Memorial Day ceremony — a jab at their predecessors, Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio, who very rarely were seen together in public.
Hochul also lauded the sense of “collaboration” that she said motivates those who go into military service.
“Because when you join the military, you put your ego aside, you put your political persuasions aside, you put your geographic influences aside, and you become one powerful unit where the number one objective is to protect your beloved homeland,” she said. “I believe that all of us as Americans and certainly those in public office have the same capacity in our hearts to learn from the examples of our military.”
Ahh, the century-old “moral equivalent of war” argument that unites the left, coupled with “never letting a crisis go to waste,” to hang onto the pandemic as a way to control and manipulate citizens. But curiously, at the height of the COVID lockdowns, I recall a lot of would-be front-line soldiers going AWOL:
Many more examples at that last link.
IS ANYONE SURPRISED BY THIS? We tasted the expanded collection of Star Trek wines and found them. . . wanting.
HE CRASHES THE CAR, SHE CRASHES THE COUNTRY: DUI arrest of Pelosi’s husband came after California crash.

NO, JUST DEMOCRATS IN CHARGE. OH, WAIT, SO YEAH: New York bearing signs of ‘societal decay.’
But, you know, you make men without chests and . . .
EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY: Gas prices hit new record high of $4.60 – just in time for Memorial Day weekend getaway.
New record high so far.

DISPATCHES FROM THE PARTY OF TOLERANCE: Watch: Rand Paul Rages At “Democrat Plan To Brand Police, Soldiers As White Supremacists And Neo-Nazis.”
Paul was addressing The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022, blocked by Republicans in the Senate, that demands the FBI and Department of Homeland Security change the way they investigate and monitor domestic terrorism suspects.
The official summary of the bill notes that an “interagency task force” would be established in order to probe into “white supremacist and neo-Nazi infiltration of the uniformed services and federal law enforcement agencies.”
“This bill should be called by a more accurate name: the Democrat plan to brand our police and soldiers as white supremacists and neo-Nazis,” Paul proclaimed.
He continued, “How insulting,” adding “We knew that Democrats despise and want to defund the police, but now, they believe that the police, federal law enforcement, and the U.S. military are full of white supremacists and neo-Nazis?”
Referring to the now mothballed ‘Disinformation Governance Board’, Paul also noted “Those of us who still care about the Bill of Rights just got done taking down the DHS ‘Ministry of Truth,’ and a day later, Democrats want to create the DHS Thought Police. You couldn’t make it up if you tried. But they don’t stop there.”
“The bill creates two other Thought Police offices at the Department of Justice and at the FBI, which seems like a self-defeating choice, since elsewhere in the bill, we are told that federal law enforcement is shot through with white supremacists and neo-Nazis,” Paul urged.
And the tolerance and good vibes just keep flowing! Progressives Have a New Term to Smear Everyone They Don’t Like.
Aren’t you excited? The far-left has been hard at work trying to come up with a new way to demonize conservatives and anyone else who disagrees with their politics. Perhaps terms like “racist,” “homophobic,” and “sexist” have become too hackneyed even for progressives. Now, they just might be ready to introduce a new favorite smear, the way Steve Jobs used to present Apple’s latest iPhone.
So what’s the new word, you ask?
Here’s your answer: Christofascist.
That’s right, folks. If you’re reading this, you’re likely a conservative/libertarian type, so this article is to let you know that to progressives, you are a Christofascist seeking to assert your religious morals on the rest of the nation — whether they like it or not.
That’s a bold strategy for the left in an election year. What could go wrong?
