Walz claims he has put National Guard on alert and will call them out to protect MN citizens. Open insurrection much?
[ cartoons of Deacon Mushrat and Mole hunting deviants and subversives. ]
Related.
Guidelines.
[ Watches old episode of Thunderbirds. ]
I have to say, Lady Penelope is pleasingly ruthless. She pursues a wrongdoer down the motorway and, making use of FAB 1’s machine guns, blasts him off the road to his (presumed) doom.
None of this let’s-all-talk-about-our-feelings nonsense.
Traffic safety tips.
Heh.
[ Peers out of window, checks for snow thievery. ]
In case you were wondering where hood-rat behavior comes from:
Is that what they call a heavy snow in England?
(Via here.)
Two thoughts:
Can we trust the researchers’ methodology?
Should we be worried or pleased?
Hmmmm… somehow I’m missing how this woman was just a confused mom who panicked and never hit the “not a real cop” cop here.
Indeed. This is an far-left provocateur who thought should could get away with anything…again. There is no reason to feel sorry for her.
@David, I believe you have said that a cup of coffee is an essential start to your day? That you can’t really do without it?
There is no reason to feel sorry for her.
“they don’t think the rules apply to them, not even the rules of life and death, and why should they…”
Hmmm…to protect MN citizens? Yeah. I guess if you buy the Narrative, of course that’s what it was about.
All Trump would have to do then is federalize the Guard whereupon they could be tasked with supporting ICE ops. They really don’t think this stuff through.
Did someone say, “NPR?” Because here is their sole headline covering the protests in Iran: “Iran’s supreme leader says protesters are ‘ruining their own streets’ to please Trump” Along with this take from their expert, “This is exactly why the internet was shut down: to prevent the world from seeing the protests. Unfortunately, it also likely provided cover for security forces to kill protesters.” As if the second sentence referred to some unintended consequence.
What are the odds?
Every Nazi, every Communist, every Islamo-fascist, thought they were a good person.
There are a couple other articles there, but much farther down, dated a couple days ago I think.
Still, NPR is NPR.
Actually, there are lots of reasons to feel sorry for her. Just none premised on the notion her death was unjust or unwarranted.
Okay, but after decades of “liberal” fascism I am all sorried out.
Nah. They wouldn’t spend so much time lying about themselves, their beliefs, or their actions if they truly thought that.
Seen earlier today: Someone played the Soviet funeral dirge* while discussing the death of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
* The one played on Soviet radio whenever a senior Kremlin leader died.
It was Hugh Hewitt.
