No Masks

Timothy Birdnow

After extolling the virtues of masks for the citizenry the Left now wants them banned - for law enforcement.

You can't make this stuff up.

Were I a county sheriff I would order all my men to wear then and announce it was to prevent the spread of Covid and watch these people twist into pretzels, telling us Covid isn't an issue.

The scary thing is most liberals won't even see the contradiction.

Violent Crime Down

Timothy Birdnow

The U.S. to Record Lowest Murder Rate Ever as Trump Deportations Surge

It's not just the deportation of violent illegals, it's the enforcement of laws across the board. For the first time in years, nay, decades we have a Department of Justice that is actually proactive in going after crime.

Chinese Vote Fraud Plot

Timothy Birdnow

Tthe FBI has uncovered a Chinese plot to tamper with American Elections by creating fake mail-in ballots.

But our elections are clean as the wind-driven snow!

Former Republican Senator Jim Baker and former Democratic President Jimmy Carter co-chaired a commission over election integrity after the debacle in 2000 and they strongly advised against mail-in voting as it was impossible to stop massive cheating.

In 2016 Joe Biden was elected with an unprecedented surge in mail-in voting. Trump won more votes than anyone in history up to that time yet he LOST to a man who barely campaigned.

California Dreaming

Timothy Birdnow

California was itching to be liberated from Mexico. That's why it fell to a few American rebel citizens in the first place.

The Claim That America Stole California from Mexico is an Ignorant Lie

Zoro was about this very dissatisfacttion. He wasn't fighting Americans; he was fighting Mexicans.

These same people make this claim over Texas too. Texas was largely settled by Americans because it was a dangerous and naturally poor place, full of the most hostile Indians who ever existed. Mexicans were unwilling to risk it by moving there. And what claim did Mexico have to this land? Just that it was part of the original Spanish claim. In the end they had no real claim on it, nor did they develop it.

The Texans had a lot of reasons to rebel; they had all settled there under the Constitution of 1824, and first Bustamante' then Santa Ana suspended that constitution. The Texans lost all their rights with the stroke of a pen. When Stephen Austin went to complain he was arrested and thrown in prison.

Texas wasn't the only northern Mexican province to try to secede; there was also the short-lived Republic of the Rio Grande' which encompased parts of Texas and New Mexico as well as much of northern Mexico. Santa Ana crushed that. He pillaged all the northern states but he couldn't get Texas because his supply lines were too stretched (Texas is notoriously difficult to reach by sea as tides move what are safe harbors.) Sam Houston lured Santa Ana into a swamp and then attacked for the first time and took "The Napoleon of the West" prisoner, forcing him to sign the treaties of Velasco ( May 14, 1836) at gunpoint. Texas applied immediately for annexation by the U.S. but was turned down and so became independent for ten years (and had constant trouble with the sore loser Mexicans.)

At any rate we did NOT steal Texas, nor did we steal California. These were places that wanted to be in the Union.

On the other hand a good chunk of Texas and the southwest were part of the original Louisiana Purchase but claimed by Mexico and we let them keep it until they picked a fight with us.

Now they want it all "back" when it never really was theirs to begin with. If anyone got the shaft it was the Indians native to the area - Apache, karankawa, etc. (Comanche came later from the mountains once they got horses.)

Well, California wanted to be part of the U.S. and that should have included lower (Baja) California. Maybe we should demand that "back" from Mexico?

By the way the U.S. paid Mexico for the land it annexed, so how is that "stealing"?

James Polk wanted it (the most successful President in American history) but was willing to let it go because we weren't just trying to conquer Mexico (which we already had) and so we tossed them that bone. Baja was mostly desert at the time. Still is.

Liberals Force Young Children To Participate In Violent, Vulgar Anti‑Trump Protests

The Left has always hidden behind women and children. They have been bringing their kids to riots/protests at least since the early days of labor unions.

Saturday Protests

Timothy Birdnow

On Saturday I atended a wedding. The ceremony was at a suburban church in St.Louis County but the reception was at a hotel downtown. There was a shuttle running guests to and from the church.

Well, Saturday they had the "No Kings" rally downtown, right next to our hotel. The protesters (who were almost all white and carrying pre-made signs) blocked the streets and St. Louis had almost no police presence to deal with any problems.

Our bus got stuck and the driver estimated it would probably take about fifty minutes to go the half block to our hotel. We got out and slogged it on foot, through the center of the rally.

It was unfortunate for me; I am diabetic and my blood sugar crashed as I walked. I had glucose tablets, but by the end was pretty out of it. I just remember it being a kaleidescope of white liberals and food and beer trucks. It was more of a party atmosphere than anything.

The people I was with got me back to the hotel safely (thannks John and Stephen and Clare!) and we didn't have any incidents. We were all wearing suits, after all.

My sister-in-law's husband had some trouble, although he wasn't with us; he had a guy block him and the fellow wouldn't move out of his way. He eventually had to push him out of the way and got cursedas a "rich bastard" for his troubles (just because he was wearing a suit.) I razzed him about "kicking the protester's ass" afterward and I am not sure he really appreciated that, but it was too fun not to.

At any rate I feared violence come nightfall but the crowd dispersed without incident.

This WAS a peaceful protest. But the police should not have allowed them to block the sttreets. I had a minor medical emergency; had someone had a REAL one, a heart attack or stroke, they could well have died so these people can complain about the government enforcing the law.

And from what I saw had a riot erupted it could have rampaged and caused a lot of damage. It was entirely possible.

And don't kid yourself; had Trump not sent the National Guard to L.A. these protests would have turned into riots. They all knew it.

Salmonella at the Catholic Cafeteria

Timothy Birdnow

Saturday night I attended the wedding of my niece and a family member at our table began discussing Catholicism, in particular some of the rules and regulations imposed by Catholicism. Now do not get me wrong; he is a lovely man, and really is committed to his beliefs. I just found I disagreed heartily. Sadly, because of the din of the reception I wasn't able to make most of the points I am about to make. That's the good thing about blogs; I can make whatever points I like and nobody can interrupt me and break my train of thought. As most you know I am not the pithy sort who can use just a few words; it takes me time to warm up my train of thought. So here it is.

RULES FOR RULES SAKE

One of his big objections to the Church is that it is too rigid and has too many rules.In some ways I think this is his best point. And I agree; I really don't think someone is going to Hell for missing mass on a Sunday (I sure hope not) or receiving Holy Communion after eating breakfast (it's like swimming; you aren't allowed into communion with Christ for at least an hour after eating) There is nothing really Biblical about either. All the Bible says about going to Church is "keep holy the Sabbath" and Christians don't even do that; we have our day of religious memorial on the first cay of the week, not on the sabbath. I'm sure Jews in the first century thought Christians were lazy louts, taking the first working day off every week. But are we commanded to attend church? Not really; you could spend the time in solitary prayer. There is no COMMAND to show up in church. That was imposed by the Church leadership for three reasons 1.to make people afraid to not show up so they wouldn't simply lapse altogether 2.so they could have some influence over the people who came and 3.to get their donations. So some dude in the Church decided to give this the force of heavenly law and he could do it because of "what you loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven and what you hold bound shall be held bound". But it's not actually written law; just part of the Church cannon. Ditto the not eating before receiving Communion thing; that's based on a warning to not take Communion unworthily. The Church figures Christ is pure and should not be sullied by stomach contents. I would remind everyone the first Holy Communion followed the Passover feast; they were ALL stuffed when Jesus first gave His body and blood.

The Phantom of the Courthouse: Judge Rules Against Voter Rule

Timothy Birdnow

A federal judge has blockeda Trump order to require proof of citizenship to vote.

Once again an activist in unfashionable evening wear has stuck her nose where it does not belong and has written law for the whole country.

This judge - and the states attorneys general who brought the suit - have shown exactly who they are and what they believe. It isn't about "one man, one vote" or have anything to do with "democracy". Not checking a person's qualifications to vote is vote theft and this is nothing but a massive power grab.

We all know it.

More and more the Left has to show it's cards to the American People. In bygone days they would have done this but we would have heard little to nothing about it, and what we heard would havebeen sanitized. Now they have to be quite open about what they are doing. America elected Trump to clean up the illegal alien mess Joe Biden made and everyone will see they are thwarting the will of the People and undermining our rights as Americans.

Trumps e.o. said states would have to check immigration status when new voters register, and that failing to do so would lead to cuts in federal funding.

The AGs argued "usurps the States’ constitutional power and seeks to amend election law by fiat.”

It in no way usurps anything. There is no constitutional requirement for the Federal government to give out money to states for any reason. If this matters so much to these states they would eat the cost themselves.

The article states:

Judge Denise J. Casper of the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts said in Friday's order that the states had a likelihood of success as to their legal challenges.

"The Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections,” Casper wrote.

Casper also noted that, when it comes to citizenship, "there is no dispute (nor could there be) that U.S. citizenship is required to vote in federal elections and the federal voter registration forms require attestation of citizenship.”

Casper cited arguments made by the states that the requirements would "burden the States with significant efforts and substantial costs” to update procedures.

So she admits that what Trump was trying to do was ENFORCE existing law, yet she rules against him anyway.

Our friendly ghost judge Casper complains of "undue burdens" yet has no problem with unduly burdoning Amerians by diluting their legal votes. And she also fails to see the distinciton between putting a qualification on a grant and restricting the freedom of the states.

Perhaps she has forgotten the 55 mile per hour speed limit,which was not a law exactly butwhich cut off highway funding for states that did not impose it. Or maybe she has forgotten the blood alcohol level restrictions. Here in Missouri it used to be 1.5% but the federal government made Missouri reduce it, first to 1% and now I believe it's .08%. Again,this was doneby threatening to cut off funding. Seat belts were imposed on my home state thisway too.

so don't tell me about "constitutional authority" and "undue burdons"; we've had them all along.

Hold the Mayo

Timothy Birdnow

The Israeli raid began with taking out the leadership of Iran's nuclear program. CGRI General Salami, Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri and senior nuclear scientist Fereydoon Abbasi were all targeted. While the other two may have been full of balogna, Gen. Salami was particularly pickled. He received the coldest cut of all.

Now Israel is targeting the actual facilities that produce and store and enrich the uranium. This is much tricker than taking out three Shiite hams.

Let us pray Israel is able to finish the job.

Iran has retaliated by sending hundreds of drones in a rather lame attempt to hurt Israeli military capabilities.

I  hear they were attacking the tribe of Ruben...

Trump Cancels Newsom's IC VehicleBan

Timothy Birdnow

Trump has just killed Gavin Newsuiance's EV mandate by signing H.J. Res. 88, a bill which federalized emissions standards. Now California has to obey then rather than impose their own.

California had plannned a total ban on gas-powered vehicles, something that would have decimated the American auto industry. Other deep blue states were going to follow suit if CA got away with this.

The Woes of Greta

Timothy Birdnow

Tthis is hilarious! I Googled Greta Thunberg (because I couldn't remember if she had an r in her name or not) and these were the top three entries:

Sweden's Greta Thunberg says she was kidnapped in international waters Reuters · 2 days ago

Israel Deporting Greta Thunberg and Other Activists on Gaza Aid Boat The New York Times · 3 days ago

Greta Thunberg's sister changed her name, became a model Ynetnews · 18 hours ago

So let me get this straight; Greta was kicked out of Israel, was "abducted" at sea but apparently let go (who would want to keep her) and her sister was so embarassed by her she changed her name.

Man,has Greta's fifteen minutes ended!
