DYSFUNCTIONAL POLITICS: Why Millions Want This Deadly Trucker Back On American Roads.

FIGHT THE POWER: Brits Are Out Flaggin.’ “This is turning into one of the most subversive and colorful patriotic campaigns ever. And it’s really chapping the knickers off of the pissy, prissy ‘minders’ who keep an eye on everyone and tell them how to behave.”

After 15,000 years+ a single generation decided to turn the UK into a rape theme park for Pakistanis. So sad to witness in real time.

And if one goal of the revolution is to make the authorities look ridiculous (and it is), well, the authorities are certainly playing along:

Listen to this exchange. The UK police officer tells this Briton to get out of the area with his British flag because it "causes distress" to someone who called the cops upon seeing it. What the hell kind of country is this?! https://t.co/XpDbSNpwgw

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Cornyn Is Learning Meaning of FAFO. “It came after Uvalde, which I guess he thought Texans would be so irrational about that they’d suddenly support gun control, and he was just making the savvy political move. Unfortunately, he’s learning all about how, if one f**** around, one finds out.”

HMM: University Of Oregon Investigation Finds Law Review Discriminated Against Israeli Author, But Clears Law School Administrator.

Response: “As someone who is intimately familiar with the facts in this case, and as the person who actually filed the complaint, I find it surprising that the law school administrator involved in the episode was found “not responsible for any policy violation.” The conclusion seems irreconcilable with the information I have. . . . Needless to say, it is a serious matter when a pedagogic legal institution experiences lawlessness from within.”

HAHA:

I do not support the EO. I do support the utter hilarity I will have in watching people fall into the trap that has multiple giant billboards around it with giant flashing neon signs that say TRAP with massive red arrows pointing at the trap. https://t.co/82Z7OLVw9h

If you actually read the Executive Order, it doesn’t do nearly as much as critics seem to think. Here it is, and here is the key bit:

Notwithstanding the Supreme Court’s rulings on First Amendment protections, the Court has never held that American Flag desecration conducted in a manner that is likely to incite imminent lawless action or that is an action amounting to “fighting words” is constitutionally protected. See Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397, 408-10 (1989).

He’s not trying to override the First Amendment caselaw, and he’s not making new law here. He is suckering Democrats into burning a lot of flags, and endorsing flag-burning, in order to “stick it to Trump.”

WHY DOES THE WEST’S RULING CLASS WANT TO MAKE EVERYTHING WORSE?

The idea that the health service would collapse without immigration is one of the most seditiously dishonest memes in Britain today. British students are being actively discouraged from going into medicine. https://t.co/R7GOZFIA7P

MICHAEL WALSH: Time to Dump ‘Journalism:’ “When did reporters become ‘journalists’? When I started out at the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle in 1972, nobody called himself a “journalist.” We were reporters, and proud of it. ‘Journalist’ had a snooty air to it and seemed to be reserved for the newspaper trade’s bigdome who wrote editorials. The rest of us wrote news stories.”

JUST BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY’RE POLICE DOESN’T MEAN THEY ARE: Houston Homeowner Shoots and Kills Two Men in Ski Masks Dressed as Police.

“[The homeowner] became suspicious, because, you know, they have a ring camera too, and the suspects were saying they had a warrant, but it was just two people and they’re masked up and no police cars, no lights or anything like that,” said Lt. Khan with HPD.

At some point, police said the men shot at the homeowner through the door, prompting the homeowner to return fire.

The homeowner was not hurt in the gunfire, but the two men were both hit and pronounced dead at the scene.

Sounds like a story with a happy ending.
