LEFTIST MEDIA STRATEGY IN A NUTSHELL:

"Here’s a picture of a sympathetic-looking victim, now give me power over you. No, context doesn’t matter. No, the sympathetic victims on your side don’t count. In fact I hate them and am happy they’re dead and I want to kill you too." https://t.co/zHbshXxafu

DON SURBER: Tim Walz is Caving to Trump: Talk softly and carry a big Insurrection Act of 1807.

Plus: “I find it very interesting that Tim Walz called President Trump to work with him on ICE less than 24 hours after all the 5,000+ donors to the anti-ICE domestic terror network were indexed and exposed by Data Republican.”

HOW IT WORKS: THE LAW on “Excessive Use Of Force Claims” — Public Sentiments Do Not Reflect The Realities Of Legal Principles. “‘Right’ and ‘Wrong’ are only seldomly relevant in the analysis, and the law has a tolerance for alleged ‘mistakes’ by law enforcement in fast moving and confusing situations.”

As with administrative warrants, I don’t think a lot of this law should exist, but it does.

FALSE EQUIVALENCE IS A LEFTIST SPECIALTY:

This is retarded. Rittenhouse wasn’t interfering with law enforcement. He was only there because law enforcement was nowhere to be found. It’s literally the exact opposite situation. https://t.co/Iya97aQ6p2

JAMES LILEKS: The Wolf is at the Door: If I duplicated this article, I could say the Ringman always Posts Twice.

I needed a Ring with a camera, so when the button was pressed a small box in the kitchen said ding-dong, and then I would call up the app to see who was there. In the past you could see who was there by using a thing called “glass,” but somehow the act of seeing them obligated you to open the the door and tell them to go away. That was the genius of the Ring: you could quietly, passively ignore them.

Plus, it recoded crimes! Yes, you could have footage of skulking miscreants, which you could give to the cops, who would do nothing. But best of all, you could customize the ding and/or the dong. What a world! Everything should be customized to conform to one’s particular aesthetic. You can even vary it by season – and here I got a good lesson in the capabilities of dog brains.

Uh oh. That’s never good, either way ….
