a clear and precedent danger - by el gato malo - bad cattitude
- no power granted to a government is ever used once.
- this is why precedent matters so much.
- if you allow them to take all your rights and freedoms every time there is a crisis, then expect an endless parade of histrionic hobgoblinery to become the norm, not the exception.
- unlimited emergency powers lead to unlimited demands for emergencies and this is a game that, as we have all seen, the media will move heaven and earth to help dictators and demagogues play.
- both sides get what they covet most.
- and we the people get taken to the cleaners.
- this is why you have to be MOST careful about infringements of your liberty and the surrender of your rights when you happen to like the outcome.
- “oh, it’s just a vaccine mandate and i was going to get vaccinated anyway!”
- but stop and think about that:
- if we have granted politicians the right to force mandated medical choices upon medical professionals against their will and professional judgement because “emergency” what could they possibly NOT do?
- this is such an overreach and such a contravention of expertise and sound medical practice that if this is the bar, what part of your life will remain free from their intrusion when they conjure the next crisis of fomented fear?
- if they can take medicine from a doctor, what could they take from you?...Read all!

Government funded Green lobbiests!!-----Does the Infrastructure Bill Spell Doom for Residential Natural Gas? | RealClearEnergy
"Like all massive bills, the Senate’s 2,700 page, trillion dollar-plus monstrosity of an infrastructure package is filled with several regrettable big ticket items, including ones that will cost us dearly in the name of fighting climate change.
...At the local level, a number of “progressive” cities, starting with Berkeley, California in 2019, outlawed natural gas hookups for new homes and businesses.
...If the infrastructure bill passes, the federal government will be able to influence state and local building codes so as to disfavor natural gas.

WaPo Columnist Slams Brian Stelter's 'Whitewash' of Cuomo Coverage
Washington Post media columnist Erik Wemple slammed CNN host Brian Stelter’s “whitewash” of fellow host Chris Cuomo and called for an outside investigation of Cuomo’s involvement in his governor brother’s sexual harassment scandal.
Brian Stelter, who hosts Reliable Sources, “attempted a demonstration of journalistic independence on his Sunday program,” Wemple wrote, by making several excuses for CNN’s compromised ethics.
Stelter said in part:
The way we were-----The Oubliette - History's Most Brutal Torture Method?
The process is the penalty. And a warning to us serfs!-----Latest developments in the prosecution of January 6 defendants - American Thinker
"Prosecutors in the cases against the January 6 demonstrators are starting to run into some judicial pushback: Questions about exculpatory evidence in their possession not turned over as the law demands, lower courts assessing the defendant as more dangerous than the evidence warranted, and most significantly, whether the prosecution is overcharging defendants with the federal crime of obstruction.
Most of the defendants are charged with knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted area -- a fancy way of saying trespassing.
...This hurdle will certainly slow down the impetus to plead guilty -- it’s one thing to face a misdemeanor charge and quite another to risk a 20-year sentence.
If the prosecution believes this conduct had been seditious or an insurrection, they would have charged it.
Obviously, they lack the evidence to sustain such serious claims.
Will they now re-charge for lesser offenses?
We’ll see.
I think Judge Moss might have, as I do, recalled the recent Kavanaugh hearings and their disruption when he asked the government whether it could cite any other cases in which the government charged comparable conduct.

Not "perfect"?????-----New York City’s new biometrics privacy law takes effect
"A new biometrics privacy ordinance has taken effect across New York City, putting new limits on what businesses can do with the biometric data they collect on their customers.
From Friday, businesses that collect biometric information — most commonly in the form of facial recognition and fingerprints — are required to conspicuously post notices and signs to customers at their doors explaining how their data will be collected.
...Businesses can face stiff penalties for violating the law, but can escape fines if they fix the violation quickly.
The law is by no means perfect, as none of these laws ever are.

Sobbing teacher abruptly quits during heated school board meeting: 'I quit being a cog in a machine that tells me to push highly politicized agendas' - TheBlaze
Sobbing, Morris said, "School board, I quit! I quit your politics. I quit your trainings and I quit being a cog in a machine that tells me to push highly politicized agendas on our most vulnerable constituents — the children. I will find employment elsewhere. I encourage all parents and staff in this country to flood the private schools."
According to the Daily Mail, Morris also slammed the school board's fixation on CRT lessons in schools.
"This summer I have struggled with the idea of returning to school, knowing that I'll be working yet again with a school division that, despite its shiny tech and flashy salary, promotes political ideologies that do not square with who I am as a believer in Christ," she added.

How Crazy Are Liberals? | Power Line
"Over the last few years, a number of friends around the country have said to me, following one of Ilhan Omar’s outrages, surely she can’t be re-elected now.
I have had to explain that the things Omar does that we view as radical or worse are, sadly, popular with most of her constituents.
