From Maryland State Police:
The driver of a tractor trailer traveling the wrong direction on Interstate 95 for nearly eight miles is arrested after fleeing police and endangering the lives of highway workers and motorists in the area.
The accused is identified as Maurice Cooper, 37, of Haverhill, Florida. Cooper was taken into police custody this afternoon without incident. Pending consultation with the Harford County State’s Attorney’s Office, Cooper faces the following charges: attempted second-degree murder, first and second-degree assault, assault of a law enforcement officer, theft and other related traffic charges. Cooper is currently awaiting an initial appearance before a court commissioner in Harford County.
Shortly before 12:30 p.m. today, troopers from the JFK Highway Memorial Barrack responded to the Maryland House Travel Plaza for a reported theft. Upon their arrival, troopers made contact with a male victim who told police his jacket and keys were stolen while inside the travel plaza. The victim notified police the suspect was the driver of a specific tractor trailer.
While the victim was informing police of the theft, personnel from the MDTA Courtesy Patrol Unit who happened to be in the area, advised police of a tractor trailer exiting the travel plaza on the wrong side. The tractor trailer was traveling south in the northbound lanes of I-95, driving against traffic.
With lights and sirens activated, troopers began to follow the tractor trailer in an attempt to stop the driver while calling the barrack to request additional troopers. State police in their marked patrol cars with emergency lights activated shadowed the tractor trailer from the southbound lanes of I-95 while other patrol cars traveled north bound on I-95 towards the tractor trailer.
After approximately three miles, the driver stopped the tractor trailer on the fast shoulder in an active work zone where several highway workers were conducting roadwork. A trooper exited his vehicle in an effort to make contact with the driver who was endangering the lives of numerous motorists and highway workers, and climbed on to the passenger side step of the tractor trailer.
Through an open passenger side window, the trooper made several verbal requests for the driver to shift the truck into park and hand over his keys. In response to the trooper’s request, the driver accelerated into the northbound lanes of I-95, again traveling south against northbound traffic.
Concerned for the safety of the motorists and pedestrians in the vicinity of the moving truck, the trooper continued to yell at the driver to stop, but he refused. As the driver continued to accelerate, the trooper was subsequently thrown from the truck onto the highway. The trooper suffered minor injuries and refused medical treatment at the scene.
Preliminary information indicates the driver continued to drive against traffic for approximately four more miles and crossed all lanes of northbound I-95 to the slow shoulder into a construction zone where he made a U-turn and continued north on I-95.
An off-duty police officer, aware of the ongoing incident, followed the tractor trailer as it exited off of I-95. A helicopter from the Baltimore County Police Department responded to assist and located the tractor trailer as it pulled into a motel parking lot in the 1700 block of Edgewood Road in Edgewood. According to witnesses, the driver then fled on foot into a wooded area behind the motel.
Troopers on scene immediately established a perimeter with the assistance of deputies from the Harford County Sheriff’s Office. During the search of the area, police along with a K-9 from the Harford County Sheriff’s Office tracked the suspect. The suspect, later identified as Cooper was located along the wood line and taken into custody without incident.
Throughout the incident, the JFK Highway Memorial Barrack received numerous 9-1-1 calls reporting the tractor trailer driving against traffic on I-95. There were no reported crashes due to the tractor trailer driving against traffic nor were any injuries sustained during the incident.
Investigators from the Maryland State Police Criminal Enforcement Division North will lead the investigation as it continues. Any witnesses to the incident are asked to contact the JFK Highway Memorial Barrack at 410-537-1150.

Construction of Biden’s security fence comes as the president faces a record-high surge of illegal immigrants at the southern border. Border Patrol agents this year detained more than 1.7 million migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border, the highest total ever recorded, according to the Washington Post.

“Dems eye slimmed-down drug price deal to advance social spending bill”
https://www.politico.com/news/2021/10/22/dems-slim-drug-price-social-spending-516863
This is a disappointment. I was hoping Biden’s Build Back Better program was going to include meaningful reform of the pharmaceutical industry by allowing Medicare to use its bargaining power to lower drug prices.
Deadeye Alec says
“Congressional Democrats are watering down — and may entirely drop — a plan to have the government directly negotiate some Medicare drug prices in order to help clinch a deal on their sweeping social spending package.””
Isn’t this why we elected these useless bastards?
So, without the build back better plan no one can negotiate the the drug makers? How about:
1.The FDA allow the prescription of cheaper drugs from other countries?
2. The gov allows the drug makers to cut prices for seniors in exchange for an increase of prices for families making over $400k?
3. The gov gives me a shitload of money so I can negotiate for a lower mortgage, utilities, and transportation costs?
I’m sure glad I didn’t vote for the Cabbage-In-Chief. FJB
Open Your Eyes says
He is an “exceptional leader”. Lol! Can someone, anyone, tell me in his pursuit of the ultimate “green energy” concept did he cease building a major pipeline, eliminating thousands of jobs, and made other decisions to eliminate our energy independence and great source of income, when the “green concept” is years, if not decades away from implementing? Why did he create such an incredible financial obligation to the people of our country? I have countless other questions but we can start with this one.
Bob says
Time is up for us in terms of the Green Energy. It’s no longer a nice to have. It’s a necessity. We don’t have the luxury of waiting years before we act. The burning of fossil fuels is destroying our world. We must act NOW!
The overwhelming number of jobs lost on the Keystone XL Pipeline were temporary construction ones. Regarding permanent jobs TC Energy, the Canadian Company that would own the pipeline) says they would only need 50 people to maintain it after it was built.
Pointy end first Alec says

Open Your Eyes says
Ok, I will stipulate to the eventual need for the implementation of green energy. During the transition period large quantities of fossil fuels are still in demand. What was your guy’s logic behind eliminating our energy independence and relying on other countries and incurring exorbitant unnecessary expenses? I think he was bullied in to it. Currently fossil fuels are still in demand and a necessity. Does shutting down our ability to produce our own and buy from other countries really change anything? The information you provided regarding environmental issues were well taken and your statistics on the pipeline staffing was interesting but I am still at a loss regarding your guy’s decision making process.
SoulCrusher says
I WILL NOT STIPULATE TO THE EVENTUAL IMPLEMENTATION OF GREEN ENERGY! Climate change is REAL, but it isn’t stoppable. You may be able to slow it down, maybe. The change of the climate is an earth cycle and we are at the end of a warm period in our earth’s climate. An ice age will be upon this earth sometime in the next 500 years and I’ve already researched and watched several documentaries on this subject. The Green New Deal is nothing but a money grab for politicians and the idiots they employ. Just like Obama tried to implement green energy, the funds will be stolen by shell companies and deposited in either certain politicians accounts or that of their cronies. There is no stopping the Ice Age that looms upon this planet and Mother Earth will use it to cleanse itself of the parasites that feed off of her. The human race happens to be one of those parasites and that is why we need to get off of this obviously terra formed planet and either find or create a new one. Humanity has been on this earth for hundreds of thousands of years and we barely survive every Ice Age. It is a cycle. You can’t stop it. No amount of Green Deceit will do anything. It’s called life and life has cycles. Let’s just hope the beings that follow us aren’t as ignorant as those whom exist now because if you are so ignorant and arrogant to believe that the human race can stop cycles of nature we have already lost before the whole thing starts. Use the oil now because a hundred thousand years from now those whom inhabit this earth then will be using our remains as fuel as well….
Open Your Eyes says
I don’t know if anyone noticed but Bob failed to be able to justify or explain my original concern. That was why did that “exceptional leader” Joe Biden eliminate our countries energy independence and create enormous and continual expenses with no green energy infrastructure in place and probably will not be for many years? If the ultimate goal is “green energy” go for it but during the interim we need fossil fuels as does the rest of the world. What was accomplished by Mr Biden closing down our fossil fuel production and buying it from Russia and other adversarial countries when we could produce it much cheaper ourselves. Did one of his puppet masters in the squad tell him that imported fuel was cleaner? This is a very real possibility for a guy that can’t tie his shoes without help. Bob’s response to my first post was cleverly composed. He made every effort to steer the readers away from my original concerns regarding the elimination of our energy independence. Bottom line when the smoke clears it is hard to justify the decision making process of that boob in the White House.
SoulCrusher says
Of course Bob didn’t answer your question because Democrats don’t have the ability to answer questions without telling lies or spinning it to get out a talking point that has nothing to do with the subject at hand. As for Biden, he knows exactly what he is doing. He is intentionally trying to destroy the United States. He outlined this immigration debacle over 10 years ago and is following it to a tee in order to change the face of America. Those where his words. Furthermore, in case you haven’t figured it out yet, Biden is an Agent of the Chinese Communist Party and a member of the Democratic “Not See” Party. His whole family are agents for foreign countries and are acting as foreign entities at law. Joe Biden isn’t just the worst President of ALL TIME, he is doing everything intentionally. He has literally warred against the United States his whole career. He has no concern for the well being of Americans and will continue to betray our Country, just like he did while he was Vice President when he was pimping out Obama ears. Obama’s ears are rather large and he reminds me of a black Alfred E. Newman. It is time for American Patriots to stand up, declare this an unconstitutional government, arrest every member of the traitor government for treason and dispose of them as the traitors that they are. This is the only solution. This is the only remedy. Joe has had a very good life and he owes it to the American taxpayers that made him and his corrupt family wealthy beyond all comprehension. You would think he would try and give back to the very people that made his life great. That’s what Trump did and look how he was treated. I guess the American people like to suffer and will honor this traitor…however, he deserves to be executed under Article 3 Section 3 provisions of treason as well as his whole family of traitors.

Once again, you’re an idiot and anyone who puts a blind player on an NFL playing field is an idiot as well.

Open YourcEyes says
Tell me that Dylann Roof doesn’t deserve the death penalty. He was the white Supremacist who was the perpetrator of the 2015 Charleston SC church shooting that killed 9 African American people while they were attending bible study. Tell me that an individual who would sodomize, torture, and kill your grandchild would not deserve the death penalty. It is hard for me to understand why people employ a situational “sliding scale” when discussing the topic of capital punishment. Sometime it’s barbaric and sometimes it’s not.
SoulCrusher says
It is called an eye for an eye and it is an appropriate punishment for the crime of both situations. Intent to harm innocents is easily proven in both cases. With that in mind, an execution is appropriate.
Bob says
OYE: Interestingly, that seeming contradiction of a “situational sliding scale” seems to apply to both (Pro-Life/Pro Capital Punishment) and (Pro-Choice/Anti-Capital Punishment) supporters.
Open Your Eyes says
Another clever attempt at deflecting the original talking points in an attempt to support a position. If Jen Psaki ever gets tired of her job you should consider applying. In think this is another attempt at comparing apples and oranges. Maybe grapes and watermelon but anyway…Capital Punishment is the result of a legislative process. It is usually utilized to address violations of Common or Statutory law in the most heinous of offenses against innocent people. Prior to it being authorized all elements of due process of law must be reviewed and also with strict compliance to the 8th amendment and in every incident reviewed and authorized by the higher courts of the land. It usually concludes that an offenders heinous and despicable conduct basically has forfeited their right to continue to live in a civilized society. The Charleston church shooting in my opinion clearly qualifies. Now you inject the issue of abortion in to the equation. Regardless of whether you are pro life or pro choice there remains one constant. In the case of abortion the respondents (those lives or soon to be lives, depending on your opinion on when life begins, will be eliminated. Whatever or however you wish to classify the situation no act against humanity or any persons have been perpetrated. There are many different opinions pro and con regarding abortion but to attempt to utilize it in an argument regarding Capital Punishment is ludicrous.
Bob says
OYE, I wasn’t trying to be clever, deflect from your original talking points, or argue with you. Your original comments just got me thinking about MY seeming contradiction, that I could believe in Pro-Choice and yet be against capital punishment. The common denominator for me is the taking of life.
SoulCrusher says
Under no circumstances should a person who enters a church and starts murdering the congregation during any type of services be allowed to live. End of discussion. In my opinion, the police should’ve had authorization to find and execute the piece of shit immediately. No trial is necessary and no one should care about “Why” he did it. He murdered innocent people, whom had caused him no harm, in a place of worship that people should feel safe in.
SoulCrusher says
Of course he is deflecting toward a subject he wants to talk about. That’s what Democratic Traitors Against the United States do. Any time you encounter a Democrat, they will turn the conversation into whatever they want because they don’t have an answer to the subject at hand. Quite frankly, I think they do it to get to cause strife and division amongst everyone they encounter so they can continue to divide our people and destroy our Country.
Bob says
OYE: I just replied to a comment dated October 29, 2021 at 12:03pm thinking it was from you before I noticed it was written by “Open YoucEyes”. I guess it was just a mistype when you posted the comment.

With any luck, the $1 trillion Infrastructure and Biden’s Build-Back-Better $1.75 trillion bills will be passed and signed into law in the next few days. Next on the agenda for the Dems is to get rid of the Senate filibuster rule and pass the “Freedom to Vote Act”.
Moving forward Biden must not allow the two Senate DINOs (Manchin & Sinema) to derail his future agenda. The next hurdle for “Exceptional Joe” and the Dems will be additional legislation for the following which will probably not be included in Biden”s BBB social spending program:
1. Paid family and medical leave
2. Free community college
3. Dental and vision Medicare benefits
4. Carbon emissions tax
5. The billionaires’ tax
6. Corporate and personal income tax hikes
Of some concern is Tuesday’s Virginia’s gubernatorial election. The latest polls indicate the race between McAuliffe and Younkin is neck and neck. If Younkin manages to win this would not portend well for the Dems in the 2022 Congressional elections. I don’t think McAuliffe has run a particularly good campaign. I just hope we squeeze by with a Democratic victory. If not, the Radical Right agenda of “lies & hate” will be strengthened.
Yes, “Exceptional Joe” and the Dems have a lot on their plate. However, I believe they are up to the challenge. The future of our country depends on it! We have just begun to fight!
Open Your Eyes says
Agenda of “hate and lies”. Does the Lincoln Project hoax fall in to that category? Also maybe we are receiving different messages but “Exceptional Joe” appears to be tanking in the ratings BADLY!! It appears that his staunchest supporters remain to be die hard Trump haters and government freeloaders who are eligible to work, but have no problem staying home collecting free money. What happened to the JFK philosophy “ ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country”? Furthermore, I am hearing that 70% of Americans think that the country is moving in the wrong direction. If that is even close to being accurate it would be extremely difficult to classify Joe Biden as an “exceptional leader”. Even with the majority of the media running interference there is an old but very applicable saying regarding Joe Biden. That is “there is only so much you can polish a turd”
Bob says
Trump supporters are intimately familiar with “turd polishing”.
SoulCrusher says
Really? I could say the same thing about Democrats when they made an old, racist, traitor against our Country the Democratic nomination for President. Joe Biden didn’t win that election. The NEW WORLD ORDER won that election thru fraud and the United States has NOT benefited from anything that geriatric moron has done since taking office. We are in dire danger of losing our liberty, our Country and what it means to be an American. Anyone who supports this traitor is either a moron, an idiot or a traitor. Which one are you?

Bob, nobody believes you got 67+ thumbs up on your comment. Everything you state is nothing but a Democratic LIE. Your party has always been about hatred and treason. Your party wants to make Federal election rules that will allow NON-CITIZENS to vote and not be questioned on the eligibility to vote. The Democratic Party is TREASON, always has been TREASON and the proof is the Biden Administration.

This school board stuff is becoming crazier and more dangerous by the day. It is being promoted by right-wing paranoia, distortions and lies concerning CRT. Also, it is being regularly fueled by the likes of the above Fox News piece. I agree with Terry McAuliffe — CRT fight has become a “racist dog-whistle”.
I believe it unlikely that a 6-year old child would think she was “born evil” based on what she was taught in a history class. If the child asked her mother, “was I born evil”. I think that question, more likely, resulted from conversations she may have overheard or was involved in at home.

On October 31st the Washington Post published a 3-part series titled “The Attack” on its investigation into the Jan 6th siege of our Capitol. This series was written by scores of reporters and based on interviews of over 200 people. It also includes some fantastic photography.
This is journalism at its best. So, if you are interested and want a better understanding of the how & why of what happened on Jan 6th, check it out.
SoulCrusher says
The how and why is already clear. Those whom were at the Capitol on January 6th did NOT lay siege to the Capitol and were actually part of a VERY large protest involving the 2020 election and the fraudulent outcome of that election. It is VERY clear that the election was stolen by acts of fraud involving the illegal and unconstitutional use of mail in ballots and the inaccuracy of the tampered voting machines. The crap published in the Washington Post and other MSM news agencies that has been endorsed by the Democratic “Not See”, Bob, is not journalism at its best and is nothing but a fictional account of what happened that day. If you want to know the how and why of what happened on January 6th you only need to realize the mail in balloting use under this FAKE Pandemic was illegal, unconstitutional and an act of fraud, war and TREASON against WE THE PEOPLE, whom are these United States. If it is unconstitutional, it is illegal. End of discussion. The only people whom are benefiting from the actions of these TRAITORS are foreign countries and religions that HATE the United States and its people. The continued use of Democratic policies that seek to divide us and destroy this country in reprehensible. The COVID Vaccine does NOT work on any variant because of the specific spike protein that the vaccine targets from the original strain, yet isn’t the same in the variants. The masks don’t work because you can breathe thru them and anyone who thinks a paper or cloth mask will protect them from a microscopic parasite is a moron. Over 70,000 elderly people died within 2 weeks of getting the vaccine. Healthy men and women have died and had limbs amputated from the vaccine. Now, the Democratic Traitors Against America want to force YOUR children to take this poison. Enough is enough.

The basis for the claim that the dreaded Donald was an insurrectionist is the use of the word “fight” as used in “fight for your rights”.

Without attempting to gloat I was pleased with the results of the Tuesday elections. First it delivered a heavy blow to the CRT initiative. In earlier posts I relayed first hand accounts of a police officer, who happened to be a black man, regarding the problems associated with the CRT curriculum in the jurisdiction that he was worked. The takeaway for the young children was division, conflict, and in some cases violence between black and white children. I am a strong supporter of a concept I will label as CCT. That is Critical Civility Training. Certainly the issue of slavery must be included in an American history curriculum which would be taught to children of older and less impressionable ages. The first and most important issue to be taught is civility, respect, and peaceful interaction. Probably the most hilarious takeaway was watching the meltdown of Joy Reid. She is arguably one of the most divisional racist people in the media. I like to refer to her as the George Jefferson of MSNBC. She is in my opinion a pompous, opinionated, ignorant racist. At least George Jefferson was funny to watch. Lol. It is not hard to understand why Ms. Reid has the rating numbers she has.

The good news is the $1.2T infrastructure bill was finally passed by Congress. “Exceptional Joe” and the Dems now have to go to work and make sure the Build Back Better social spending bill is the best it can be and that it’s paid for. The stock market is up nearly 20% this year, 5312K jobs added in October, more people vaccinated, and new Covid 19 treatments on the horizon. Things are getting better!
SoulCrusher says
The $1.2 Trillion infrastructure bill was passed with the help of certain Republicans whom did vote for the Bill when “The Squad” wouldn’t vote for it. However, the economy is stagnant, materials are VERY expensive and inflation is creeping up on everyone. This isn’t the time to spend money and something like this should be done when the economy is thriving and materials aren’t as high as they are right now. There simply isn’t enough money to pay for materials and the salaries of workers in order to accomplish the task of the bill that was passed. Unless, of course, massive tax hikes are used to pay for it. The stock market is being artificially stimulated by foreign countries whom back the agenda of the Democratic TRAITORS Against America. China is who is buying the stocks. Traditionally, when stocks do well Gold goes down. Gold continues to climb as does the stock market. Only a moron would actually believe the claims you are making and only a moron would believe that more people getting vaccinated with a vaccine that doesn’t work, has caused serious side effects and deaths, is still in emergency use and is nothing but using Americans as guinea pigs. With all the vaccinations, misinformation and mask wearing we still see COVID and this is because you can not simply rid civilization of a respiratory illness. If you could there would be no common cold or the traditional flu. The COVID treatments you mention are interesting but what about the treatments that already exist and have been falsely demonized for political purposes and to put money in the pockets of the manufacturers that brought us the opioid epidemic with full governmental approval. Bob, once again you’re an idiot. If we’re doing so well how come inflation is running rampant? How come we are paying more for and using all this foreign oil? Why was the Trump era energy independence policies canceled that allowed America to produce as many barrels of oil as we needed instead of relying on foreign oil? The answer is it is because the Democrats are TRAITORS trying to destroy the United States on behalf of foreign countries and religions that the government really works for. You can deny it all you want, but REAL Americans know you are either an idiot, an under educated ignoramus or a dirt faced traitor. Which one is it?

I have been asking since before the election for anyone to explain to me as to why Mr. Biden is qualified to be POTUS. The only answer ever given was 40 plus years in government. Before I can answer your question I think it would only be fair for you to answer that question. I need to know what qualities, if any, that you think he possesses to assist me in answering your question. I am sure that that whatever name I were to proffer you would expect me to articulate as to why this person should be considered more competent than your guy. At this time it is hard to narrow it down to just one person. It is not hard to come up with someone with more intelligence, more balls, greater integrity and less of a history of hypocrisy and questionable personal and family behavior than your guy. While we are asking questions I have one. Prior to the election I commented that the Durham report would expose significant misconduct being perpetrated by the Democrats. You subsequently commented that the investigation was losing traction and basically was unfounded. Do you feel the same way now? I think we both know that whatever dirt is uncovered, no matter how heinous, no matter how damning , your guy and the Democrats will subsequently do nothing about it from a legal standpoint.The MSM will ignore the findings and your guy and the Democrats will wait it out and hope it is forgotten. Kind of makes you wonder why people question the fairness and the integrity of the last election.
Bob says
Besides 40 plus of “exceptional” service in the Executive and Congressional branches of our government, “Exceptional Joe’s” qualifications are as follows: He is a natural-born citizen of the United States, a resident for 14 years, and he is 35 years of age or older. Additionally, his most important qualification is 81,284,000 Americans voted for him. Case closed.
What exactly are you referring to when you talk about his “questionable personal and family behavior”? Compared to his predecessor his “personal” behavior is positively angelic.
Concerning Durham’s Investigation, my feelings remain the same. Nothing of much consequence is going to come out of it. I think it’s going to turn out to be like the Benghazi Hearings — lots of bluster and not much substance.
OYE, are you one of those people that question the “fairness and the integrity of the last election”?

@Bob – Joe Biden did not win the 2020 election and the vote tally you quoted is a fraudulent number that was determined by foreign nations in order to put a Chinese Agent and a TRAITOR against the United States into power. There is no legislation that Geriatric Joe has ever been part of that is Constitutional. He has betrayed his people a 1000 times over and his crime bills are a perfect example of the TREASON and RACISM he has spread throughout our entire Country. Joe Biden and his whole family are foreign agents at law and should be expelled from this Country. I’m sure TRAITOR Joe wouldn’t mind living in China with his family as that is whom they are working for. Gas is up and that spreads inflation. The statutory jibber jabber that was just passed will make politicians and their cronies rich all while the stock market is being over taken by foreign enemies. This is the Democracy of idiots and thieves. Our liberty is on the line and our government is waging war against us. True PATRIOTS have a duty to rebel.

According to a Washington Post Editorial the judge in the Rittenhouse Murder Trial overruled objection by the Prosecutors and “will allow the jury to see a video of police thanking and giving bottles of water to a group of vigilantes, but he won’t permit a video of Mr. Rittenhouse declaring 15 days before the shooting “Bro, I wish I had my [expletive] AR, I’d start shooting rounds at them” about people he suspected of shoplifting. Most glaring was the judge’s decision that the people who were killed could be called “arsonists,” “looters” or “rioters” if they took part in these activities but could not be called “victims.”
So far, the judge’s decisions in this case seem blatantly unfair and prejudicial, to me.
SoulCrusher says
That’s because you’re a moron. Those people weren’t victims because they were rioting, looting and burning things to the ground. They were domestic terrorists radicalized by the Democratic “Not See” Party. When police are prevented from doing their all too real job of enforcing the common law, WE THE PEOPLE must step up and do it ourselves. That’s not being a vigilante. That’s called being a PATRIOT and a REAL American. The Judge’s decision does baffle me because the decision makes sense and NO JUDGE makes decisions that make sense anymore. It is disallowed by the treasonous BAR and the Democratic “Not See” Party that you worship like a God. Bob, please stop quoting the Democratic TRAITORS of the Washington Post and all the other MSM liars. The misinformation you are spreading is reprehensible….
Bob says
The Judge in the Rittenhouse case has continued to build on some of his ridiculous pretrial rulings with even more pro-defense rulings and bizarre courtroom shenanigans. His actions have pretty much poisoned the trial and has probably prevented the rendering of a verdict by the jury. I suspect it will be a hung jury, predominantly favoring a “not guilty verdict” with several dissenting.
This judge is an eccentric old codger who has lost it. He needs to be replaced. Hopefully, the citizens of Wisconsin recognize this and will vote him out when his term is over.
Open Your Eyes says
Hopefully the citizens of our country will vote out that eccentric old codger in the White House. He has definitely lost it. A very good consideration for a mistrial would be your guy’s foolish and prejudicial editorialization on a National forum regarding the case before the trial. The liberal media is also conducting themselves in the same foolish and improper manner. Even liberals should know that a person is innocent until proven guilty. I was pleased to see The judge chastise the prosecuting attorney when he was trying to draw a presumption of guilt because of the defendant’s prior decision to remain silent.
Bob says
OYE, you’re confusing things again. Biden is an ‘exceptional old codger’, not an ‘eccentric old codger’ I got a hunch that “Exceptional Joe” probably won’t even run for reelection. Would that make you happy camper? Who do you think the Republicans will nominate to run for President in 2024?
Open Your Eyes says
The Green concept is years if not decades away. During the interim our country and the world rely on fossil fuels. Can someone please explain to me WHY, knowing that this was the case, and knowing during the transition period our needs are dependent on fossil fuels, that the “ Exceptional Leader “ President Biden would order an end to our practice of being energy independent and force our nation to be at the energy mercy of other countries who are not our friends or allies. Now the concept of tapping into the strategic oil reserves of our nation is being considered as a temporary fix. Whoever is pulling the strings of that brain dead occupant in the White House needs to convince him t to reenact policies for our country to resume energy independence until the Green initiative is fully implemented. There is absolutely no logical rational reason for him not to do so other then him cowering to the will of members of the mob and other far left liberals. He is clearly far from an “Exceptional Leader”. Energy issues are just one of many of his blunders. The trouble with Democrats is they are to pompous and naive to admit that out of all the qualified candidates they “shit the bed” and backed him. Pathetic actually!

“Baltimore man sentenced to 147 years in prison for firing shots at four Baltimore County police officers following May 2020 pursuit”

I hate gun violence. However, I think this sentence is manifestly excessive and will likely be appealed.
Open Your Eyes says
I too think that this sentence was excessive. Convicted murderers usually generate 7-15 years of actual time served. Possibly an argument regarding a violation of the 8th Amendment might be considered. I can only hope that a punishment of that level was not administered for other reasons and I will leave it at that.

Open Your Eyes says
First of all I am glad that you brought up this topic because it segues into a concern that I have had for several months. That concern regards the shooting of Ashli Babbitt at the Capital on 01/06/21. I have read countless accounts regarding that shooting incident and viewed a video account of same. Bob I believe you too reviewed the video and commented something to the effect that the you did not observe a situation where deadly force was warranted. As a career police officer it is well known that application of deadly force is a last resort when other options were available and you are required to preserve the lives of others or yourself. The video clearly shows that Ms. Abbott was unarmed and on the other side of a barrier when she was shot and killed by Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd. I will submit that she was attempting to breach that barrier when she was shot and killed. Lt. Byrd was later quoted as saying he acted as a “last resort” stating he “saved countless lives” It is my assessment that there were multiple non-lethal options and a sufficient window of time to apply them. The media subsequently reports that Lt. Byrd was cleared of all wrong doing by both the Justice Department and is agency. How can an unarmed person positioned behind a barrier be an immediate threat to anyone? I would be interested in viewing the use of force policies of the Capitol Police and would like to see a video account of the hearing. In my opinion and in the eyes of countless police professionals Lt. Byrd acted inappropriately. I have to suspect that clearance was made possibly for partisan political reasons. A sustained act of improper conduct by agents of the government resulting in the questionable death of a protester would have seriously diminished their standing and credibility. Bob I might be asking a lot but please consider this point and consider the hypocrisy. Lt. Byrd was a black police who shot an unarmed white female who was behind a barrier. Suppose during a BLM protest a group forced their way in to a government building. At that time, an unarmed black female was shot by a white police officer while standing behind a barrier when there was ample time to apply non-lethal force. Question one. Do you think the media would treat that police officer the same way? Question two. Do you think a police tribunal would or should clear that officer for his actions?
Bob says
OYE, You’re right. I don’t think deadly force by Lt. Michael Byrd was necessary. I was somewhat surprised that he was cleared by the Capitol Police and the Justice Department. I’ll agree and defer to your judgment (as a career Police Officer) “that there were multiple non-lethal options and a sufficient window of time to apply them.”
Where we disagree somewhat in this matter is the issue of race. I just don’t think that in this case, “race” is particularly relevant. Once a person, be they black, white, or otherwise employs “violence” bad things happen.
As far as the media treating a police officer (irrespective of race) the same way the answer to your question is it depends on the particular media outlet. Like you, I think this officer’s actions cannot be completely justified and some sort of accountability is in order.
SoulCrusher says
Agreed 100%. Babbitt did NOT pose a threat and the use of deadly force was improperly used on an unarmed female whom posed no threat to the life of the officer or anyone else. Qualified Immunity in this situation is extinct and the DOJ’s findings show that the government is not only out of control, but those whom are in government are out of their minds. Michael Byrd is a murderer and should be prosecuted for the murder he committed. However, it won’t happen and the use of political influence to justify murder shows the way the government has become a monster. What do we do when we encounter monsters? We put them down. At this point, if you can’t see that this was a blatant act of the improper use of deadly force, then you are a moron.
Bob says
OYE, Let me run the following hypothetical scenario past you. What if, I were a police officer on the streets of a large city at night in the midst of large-scale violence, looting, and rioting. I notice an armed man walking toward me. He is carrying an assault-style rifle strapped across the front of his chest. His hand is near the trigger. However, the rifle is not pointed directly at me. Suddenly, I begin to feel threatened and fear for my life. I start to think this guy might shoot me. I pull out my service revolver and shoot the man dead. Do you think that my use of deadly force would be justifiable in this situation?
I think it’s absolute lunacy that we allow people, like Kyle Rittenhouse, armed with assault-style rifles, to walk around the streets of our cities, especially during times of violence and looting. He should have been disarmed and arrested on the spot before he killed two persons and wounded another. if we continue in this direction, it’s inevitable, more will die.
Open Tour Eyes says
Interesting scenario. I understand where you are going but I a am only familiar with MD law. The laws regarding the right to carry handguns and long guns differ considerably. Handguns require a permit to carry and long guns do not or at least they didn’t when I was in the game. As I recall it was not a violation to carry a long gun, sword, spear, club etc unless you were carrying it openly with intent to injure. It was a violation to possess a “loaded” long gun in a vehicle. In reference to your scenario I concur a guy carrying an assault type rifle across his chest in a volatile environment would make me feel very uncomfortable. I am not sure that “starting to feel threatened and in fearing for your life” without further articulation would be a justifiable shoot. These days there are hundreds of cell phone cameras out there. You have to be sure that your justification for application of deadly force can be verified and not be refuted. Sorry but I got to go there with this one. If the guy holding the long gun was wearing a MAGA hat you would probably get a lot more rhythm from the Justice Department and the MSM
SoulCrusher says
Bottom line is the Police could NOT do their job, as they were too busy defending their own PRECINCT, yet alone trying to protect the city from rioting, looting and burning down the city. That militia went there to protect businesses and private citizens during a time of civil unrest and were being attacked by those whom seem to think their cause was greater than the rights of others whom had no culpability in the problem they were supposedly protesting. This whole incident is a tragedy, but if you can’t see the justification in the militia’s presence or in the actions of Rittenhouse, then you fail to see that this incident was actually caused by those whom rioted, looted, murdered and burnt buildings to the ground.
SoulCrusher says
Let me put it in a way so everyone can understand what I’m talking about. If there wasn’t rioting, looting, murdering and burning the city to the ground, then there would have been no militia there to protect businesses and private citizens, as it wouldn’t have been needed. When will people understand that you can’t justify rioting, looting, murder and torching blocks of a city in the name of racial justice? If Black Lives Matter, then why is it that Blacks kill each other in such an alarming rate that it makes Police killings of Black offenders look very miniscule….
Open Your Eyes says
Does anyone besides me see the irony in the fact that a presiding Judge in a very high profile case had to instruct the jury to ignore and discount the editorial opinionated statements made by the POTUS about the character of the accused before the trial. The statements of the President in a national forum could very well have impacted the defendant’s right to a fair application of the due process of the law. No matter how the case goes the President was wrong. Very wrong! He is nothing more than a puppet for the far left.
Open Your Eyes says
Justice was served! Maybe liberals should check other news outlets besides MSNBC and CNN before formulating opinions. I would like to see the POTUS (personally)Joy Reid, Don Lemmon, and many others sued for deformation and charged with attempted jury intimidation and attempting to obstruct justice. Furthermore, an investigation should be initiated against those same people for inciting the riots that will inevitably take place .
SoulCrusher says
Agreed. What really blows my mind is that the supposed “victims” of Rittenhouse were ALL convicted felons of common law crimes of violence and have been heralded as heroes of the Democratic Traitors Against America and the Democratic “Not See” Party. One of them was a convicted child molester. Another was convicted of strangulation and false imprisonment. It is unbelievable that these “victims” were even considered victims after they were rioting, looting and burning down the city. They even burned a car dealership. WTF? What sense does it make to burn a car dealership and its inventory over a police killing of a black man? Did the car dealership kill the black man? No. It didn’t….

“Virginia victory gives some Republicans glimpse of future without Trump”
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/nov/07/virginia-republicans-trump-cheney-christie-scott-youngkin
It occurred to me. There just might be a silver lining in Youngkin’s defeat of McAuliffe. Even though it doesn’t portend well for the Democratic party, it could turn out to be a huge step forward for our country as a whole. Just maybe, the Republican party is beginning to realize that they don’t need Donald J. Trump, and now is the time to move on. It’s critical we get beyond the vitriol of our politics and finally begin to heal the divide and move forward once again. Let’s hope!
SoulCrusher says
We can never get beyond the politics of traitors and thieves because they have infiltrated our government and are working for foreign nations and religions. The Democratic take over of the educational system and the intentional dumbing down of our people is the catalyst for ALL of the accepted treason we now suffer. We must ALL move to declare our lack of consent to the traitor government and advocate the destruction of our enemies which hide in plain view. It makes me sick listening to the State run media controlled by the Democratic “Not See” Party. Donald Trump was the BEST President I have seen in my lifetime. He had this Country operating like a well oiled machine. Foreign adversaries both respected and feared him. Now look at us. Unless something earth shattering happens soon, we will lose our Country and become slaves of the government controlled by our foreign adversaries. The Democracy of traitors and thieves has failed miserably and has done it intentionally and in record time. No one should consent to this treason…

This guy continues to lose it more & more with each passing day. The good news is that is no longer a three-star general with military authority and responsibility. The bad news is that many (way, too many) misguided Americans still give credence to the likes of him.
SoulCrusher says
Michael Flynn didn’t do anything wrong and was persecuted by the Democratic “Not See” Party that has infiltrated and controls the bureaucracy. As for what he said, all the religions that worship ONE God are in fact worshipping the same God. They just don’t agree on the story or the practices of the other religions. The truth is that when you look at religion it does nothing but divide us. Just like politics. Why he said what he said? Who knows, but that doesn’t change the fact that he was persecuted by the bureaucracy and the Democratic “Not See” Party. Political persecution should be criminalized and politicians should stop trying to make unconstitutional statutory law and expect the general public to follow their lead. We can’t even trust our government to tell the truth about elections, criminal convictions or any process of government. We can’t trust news agencies to relay anything but false facts and idiocy. Why would we trust anything they say about Flynn or any other American that has been persecuted by them?

And inevitably, if we don’t recognize the need for and begin to make fundamental changes soon, our better days as a country and a people are behind us, not ahead of us.
SoulCrusher says
Your last sentence is a typical Democratic talking point that started being pushed by Obama and has resonated throughout the Democracy of idiots and thieves. The fundamental changes you refer to are necessary because of DEMOCRATIC policy and TREASON that the Democratic “Not See” Party has institutionalized across this entire nation. Everything a Democrat touches or gets involved in turns into crap because you Democrats hate our country and are intentionally trying to destroy the United States. You are not doing your country or your people any good by fabricating and being untruthful about current events or our past. The truth is ALL Democrats are TRAITORS at this point in time and anyone who has aligned their selves with the EVIL of the Democratic Party is a living piece of garbage. This is NOT the Democratic Party of my parents or grandparents. This is a complete treasonous shit show and you stinking traitors need to be held accountable for your actions.
Open Your Eyes says
I don’t know why liberals need to fuel division with terms like “the politics of hate”. A large portion of the violence in our country has nothing whatsoever to do with hate as Democrats like to portray. It involves members of one particular group victimizing and killing their own. Take a minute to examine the demographics of murders in Baltimore, Chicago, Washington DC etc. Democrats and liberals will often fail to identify and call out certain groups because it doesn’t fit their narrative of weaponizing race to fuel division. You say you don’t know the solution. Okay. How about holding violent and unlawful people, of whatever group, accountable for their actions. Before you go there I am not trying to say that hatred and bias does not exist. It does. I have said it many times. Bad behavior fuels bias and distrust. I am saying that all groups should hold their bad apples accountable. The concept of civility training in our schools should be aggressively pursued. This should include mutual respect directed towards everyone.
Bob says
We can’t allow the extremist hate-mongers on ‘all sides’ of our politics to bring us down. We must be ‘Americans First’, not liberals or conservatives, Democrats or Republicans. And you’re right. We must promote values like civility, accountability, mutual trust and respect if we ever hope to get back on the right road again.
SoulCrusher says
Funny. You typed “Americans First” but your ideology screams of America LAST!
Urkidding says
Hey Bob… let’s break this down… I have some pretty radical ideas to share here…
First, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” You know, equal before the law and each other…
Second, “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” Reread that ‘consent of the governed’ part again. Take your ‘hope and change’ BS and shove it.
Third, “Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” Did you ever read this, Bob?
Do you not see what freedom loving people enjoy? So, when you build up hatred in YOUR media against each other, spark riots in the name of social justice, destroy the hard work and toil of the common man, and otherwise undermine the very freedoms we once had… how dare you complain about the monster the left has made? How dare you feel something has to be done by wrapping it in the failed and divisive rhetoric of the (now tied) worst president in this great country’s history!
Want to get back on the road? Take a year’s sabbatical in North Korea and come back tell us about the hunger, oppression, and outright disastrous state of that land. You know, the one you wish for us. While your heroes of the left are worried about what pronouns to use our enemies are laughing themselves sick training to topple us for good…
Open Your Eyes says
I find it a little odd that a picture of the Christmas parade massacre in Wisconsin “person of interest”, so far, only been posted on Fox News. As of yet unless I missed it CNN and MSNBC have not pictured the person of interest but still are printing numerous articles regarding Kyle Rittenhouse. You remember him the guy that was acquitted on all charges.
Bob says
You mean the guy that supports BLM?
SoulCrusher says
He supports BLM when they are peacefully protesting. Not when they are rioting, looting and burning down cities. We should all support the idealism that ALL LIVES MATTER, including BLACK LIVES, but I will not support a bunch of idiots that believe ANY race should be considered more important than the other. I scoff at the idea that police are racially motivated anymore and if a police officer profiles you for being the wrong race in a certain neighborhood then that police officer knows that you aren’t a regular to the neighborhood and are probably there for purposes that are beyond those what we consider “law abiding”. Ican NOT support a group like BLM that has caused so much violence in our country. Does this make me a racist? No. It makes me a realist….

Open Your Eyes says
Well the “Exceptional Leader” is at it again. CNN, if you can believe them, reported that he is going to release 50 Million barrels of oil from our nations strategic reserves to relief some of the price burdens of gas impacting Americans during the holiday season. I guess the people pulling his strings didn’t consider resuming our own ability to produce fossil fuels in our own country. Maybe they convinced him that oil coming from the reserves is cleaner than what we can produce on our own at far less cost. No matter where you get it there is still, and will be for some time, a need for it. My biggest question to this guy is this. Do you know the meaning of the word “strategic “ or for that matter “reserve”? Are you telling me that the Democratic Party is so fractured that he is the best they got. For God’s sake, please Open Your Eyes!
Bob says
“Biden administration to release 50 million barrels of oil from strategic reserve”
https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/582754-biden-to-release-50-million-barrels-from-strategic-petroleum
Seems like a reasonable plan to bring down the price of gas. Especially, if China, India, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom also tap into their own strategic reserves.
Open Your Eyes says
Explain to me the logic behind his prior decision to eliminate our ability to be energy independent and put us in this situation in the first place. I and I am sure many other Americans with average or better intelligence really don’t care what China, India, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom do. Your guy caused an unnecessary and costly situation. As I questioned before is this guy the best the Democrats got? Nice try at putting up the smoke screen to hide the real issue. “Gee mom I know I broke the window but Billy broke three. Pathetic rationalization.
Bob says
Although you might not care what those other countries do with their reserves the bottom line is more oil on market right now equates to lower gas prices at the pump. That is a good thing.
Also, it’s important that you understand the ‘windows’ “Exceptional Joe” is breaking are located in the “House of Horrors built” by his predecessor.
Open Your Eyes says
Again you avoid answering the questions. This situation did not have to occur. Prices would be much lower if we had remained energy independent. True or right? By the way does a 38% approval rating with a VP with hers in the 20’s indicate that you are doing well? You know I used to give you the benefit of the doubt but it appears you are just a Dagger troll. Please yo your game Bob.
Bob says
OYE, just like you avoid providing direct answers to questions. For example I have asked you several times. Who do you believe would be a good alternative or replacement for “Exceptional Joe”? And yet, you won’t provide a direct answer because of some paranoia you have about me trying to “trap” you.
Open Your Eyes says
I really don’t think anyone really cares who I think would be a good alternative for the pathetic occupant of the White House. The issue at hand is gross mismanagement which you liberals see and know but are to proud, naive, or arrogant to admit. Keep playing your games and ignoring the obvious. Goodnight game player.
Bob says
I care.
SoulCrusher says
The alternative is Kamala Harris and then Nancy Pelosi. The Democratic Traitors Against America not only rigged the last election to put a Geriatric TWIT in the White House, they set it up so if Joe needs to go the alternative is even worse. You can’t script this shit for our foreign adversaries any better. The pecking order is a complete load of garbage and no matter what anybody thinks about who else would be better, the 2 I just listed is what you will get unless you remove all 3.
Urkidding says
Good grief Bob… you just do not know when to stop, do you? I suspect you are a troll… no one, I mean no one, can be so brain dead to carry this idiot’s water as well as you do…
Let’s see this time… you wrote: “Seems like a reasonable plan to bring down the price of gas. Especially, if China, India, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom also tap into their own strategic reserves.”
And if they do not, this is unreasonable? Do you enjoy saying that the reasonableness of our president’s actions is predicated on decisions by multiple other countries? So much for American sovereignty, huh?
And you know it has t o be replenished, right? And with inflation caused by his policies at a higher cost to the taxpayer… how does that sound reasonable?
Bob says
Thank you for the compliment (intended or otherwise). I consider it a privilege and a honor to carry water for “Exceptional Joe” 🙂
SoulCrusher says
Biden should’ve kept the Trump era policy that worked instead of pulling this inflationary nightmare we’ve had since he’s been in office. Instead, he wants to tap reserves and have others do the same. Trump had lifted the cap on the number of barrels produced from our normal oil resources, but never touched our reserves. Nor did he try to get other countries to do the same. Especially our adversaries….
Urkidding says
Ah, I get it, a troll… good on ya. If not, you are responsible for warning labels against drinking battery acid. Well done.
Open Your Eyes says
I am sorry there seems to be some confusion. In my last post I stated that I really don’t think anyone cares who I think would be a good alternative for that pathetic occupant of the White House I meant anyone who really matters and can affect change. I was not referring to old guys with no life who rely on the Dagger to get their jollies attempting to annoy people by being a troll. Sorry if there was any confusion.

Normally Bob we disagree but in this case I concur. Sorry to disappoint you. Unlike Democrats I do not let partisan issues of any kind corrupt my perception of right and wrong. You know like saying Hillary Clinton’s actions were criminal only “extreme carelessness” and let’s not even go there with the Democrats that will most likely end up getting a pass on the Durham investigation findings.

Sorry * not criminal

OYE, you didn’t disappoint me at all. I fully expected a reasonable person like you would concur with the jury’s verdict. The evidence, especially the video was overwhelming and left no doubt as to their guilt.
Regarding the Durham investigation there’s just “no there there”
SoulCrusher says
Agreed that reasonable people concur with the Arbery verdicts. However, there is alot to the Durham investigation that will never come to light because of politics and the protection of criminals whom are involved in politics. We all knew no one of any great importance would get indicted for the FRAUD involving the Russia Hoax, but that doesn’t mean there is “no there there”.
SoulCrusher says
Yes. Anybody that doesn’t agree with the verdict is completely out of their mind.
Open Your Eyes says
I was having lunch with some old retired police buddies of mind and we talked about old times and current issues. We all seemed to agree that the time to be a Cop has passed us bye. With liberals and Democrats demonizing the police and suggesting defunding them why would anyone wish to subject themselves to such abuse or encourage anyone that they cared about to pursue such a career. One of the guys suggested laughingly that maybe the Executive Protection Unit of the Secret Service should be first to be cut or defunded. The guy continued by questioning what enemy or adversary of our country would want to take out President Biden. He plays right in to the hands of the Chinese, Russians, North Koreans and many other hostile countries. He is the best thing that has happened for those countries for many years. Look at all the free loading, work eligible, loafers that would have to change their life styles if something happened to”Exceptional Joe”. It was the consensus of opinion that Mr. Biden is as safe as in his momma’s arms. The takeaway is if the Democrats want to defund the police start with the Secret Service. Very succinct, profound, and sadly pathetic.

Well, you’re close. Biden is an actual agent of the CCP and other foreign countries that are our adversaries. His record of using his VP position to gain financially, for both him and his family, is reprehensible. With all the evidence that clearly shows Biden is a TRAITOR and an agent for our adversaries there is no investigation into him and his treasonous family. Furthermore, Obama knew exactly what Biden was doing and he is a TRAITOR too. The issue of defunding the police is stupid. I have had my issues with police and can never completely back the blue, yet I have never said “defund the police”. Police are a necessary evil as they are who enforces REAL law, but are the same ones enforcing unconstitutional statutory law created by the traitors in D.C. and Annapolis. Bottom line is most citizens call the police when all too real common law crimes occur and righteously so. Defunding police isn’t an option. Defunding the illegal and unconstitutional government is an option. Getting rid of certain politicians and the unconstitutional code they have created is an option. Allowing police to determine which laws are unconstitutional has not worked and suing them for dereliction of duty in regards to not enforcing unconstitutional law is reprehensible. If it is unconstitutional, it isn’t law and I don’t care what THE STATE OF MARYLAND says because that corporate entity can’t be trusted.

You really are a moron. Thanks for the laugh, Solelicker.
SoulCrusher says
The opinion of a Democratic Traitor Against the United States doesn’t matter to me. Colon, you are a complete idiot and your Democracy of idiots and thieves will fall apart, just like Biden’s Administration.
Bob says
What is with this “smash & grab” stuff that is going on? Organized crime rings are paying gangs of low-level crooks to carry out this stuff. It looks like we just go from one outrageous thing to another. What’s next?
SoulCrusher says
The smash and grabs are a result of removing qualified immunity from police whom are enforcing common law. You remove qualified immunity from those whom are breaking the law and not those doing their job of protecting the public from vandalism and theft. Those whom commit smash and grabs should be met with extreme violence by the authorities that exist to combat such crime. BEAT THEM WITHIN AN INCH OF THEIR LIFE AND IF THEY SURVIVE GIVE THEM A LONG PRISON TERM!
Open Your Eyes says
Sadly all too many District or State’s Attorneys, particularly in Democratic cities, are not doing their job. They want to have this warm and fuzzy (foolish) approach to addressing crime. California has arbitrarily come out with this theft under a grand will not be addressed BS. This philosophy has enabled and empowered these “criminals “ to commit these flash mob smash and grabs. These “criminals” think that if they keep their thefts under a G they are home free. Somebody should whisper in these inept naive prosecutors ear that when a smash and grab occurs it involves a breach, a breaking and entering, crossing the plane, you know a burglary. Breaking and entering or as some refer to it is a burglary is a felony. Lock those bastards up! I started my law enforcement career many years ago. It was before the Garner v. Tennessee decision. During my early career it was lawful to use deadly force to stop a fleeing felon. I remember old timers while pursuing a theft suspect would inquire if it was, at that time, an amount over 300 bucks which qualified it as a felony and justified utilization of deadly force. I never agreed with utilizing deadly force for property felonies but it happened fairly regularly. As I recall flash mob smash and grabs were an anomaly. I’m not advocating the resumption of the indiscriminate use of deadly force but it is time for zero tolerance enforcement and lengthy incarcerations. I’m quite sure that many will not agree with me but it is getting bad and something needs to be done.

“Gov. Hogan set to meet with Mayor Scott on crime; says City receivership not an option yet”
https://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/gov-hogan-set-to-meet-with-mayor-scott-on-crime-says-city-receivership-not-an-option-yet
Maybe, “Receivership” SHOULD BE AN OPTION. Or even something more radical like “martial law” should be a consideration. If these options are not legal then declare an emergency and make it so. We need real solutions and we need them NOW. We have to do SOMETHING to address the gun violence and poverty that is endemic to and destroying Baltimore.
What’s clear is that the current city leaders don’t have the ability, the will, or the wherewithal to make the necessary changes. I truly hope Governor Hogan and the state legislature intervenes and changes the equation. If not, the future for Maryland’s largest city looks downright bleak.
Colin Mitchell says
How does anything you are suggesting fix the problem of gun violence and poverty? Not being smart, I just do not see what receivership or “marshall law” offer in way of solutions.
We need to incentivize business investment, along with skills training, in the city. Make home ownership a priority, but also make owning a home in a newly gentrified neighborhood affordable to the people that live there now. None of this comes at the barrel of a gun held by the NG, but with money. Lots of money and a decades long commitment to spending by the state.
SoulCrusher says
Colon, you haven’t suggested anything that combats violent crime in Baltimore City either. Improving commerce and giving free loaders, like you, more money, does not do anything to combat violent crime. The only way to combat violent crime is to give police the authority to combat violent crime. If citizens want to be brutal to their people then they need to have an equal amount of brutality visit them. That is what combats violent crime. You sometimes have to fight fire with fire and in this case you must combat violence with violence.
Urkidding says
Colin, the problem is not isolated to ‘gun violence’ as gun-grabber Bob likes to allude… it is all crime. If, however, we isolate murder; in 2019 we find the city had a 32% clearance rate. That means over 2/3 of the time, crime pays in Baltimore City. You do not have to be a statistician to see that. The states attorney’s office is a national embarrassment. They think a 32% clearance rate is working hard, I suggest it is hardly working. The common thug piling up 300+ murders each year knows s/he has little prospect of ever seeing a jail cell.
As a taxpayer, before one more dollar gets flushed down the toilet that is the city… how about they clean up the corruption first? If Catherine Pugh could find over $100,000 to cart kids to a protest rally in DC, but could never find money to operate the schools (while pocketing a matching amount through a corrupt arrangement), then I suggest the city has great amounts of money stashed away or find better managers of that money. So, for this guy… not one penny until they clean house. Fear not, though, I trust the next governor will be a Democrat and gladly find a way to funnel money into that pit.
I own a business and I can assure you the LAST place on this PLANET I would place any amount of money would be that city… that city is one bad act by the police away from letting rioters destroy my investment. Yeah, no thanks. No incentive big enough.
I would agree making residents into home owners would be a great leap forward (see what I did there?). However, without jobs to sustain it… do we the citizens of the rest of the state have to foot that bill also? Sorry, the leadership of that city made the problems they have, and they can climb out of it all on their own.
Bob says
Urkidding, the city of Baltimore is incapable of turning things around on their own. Maryland state government must intervene. If not, things are bound to get progressively worse.
Urkidding says
Incapable? Hardly… unwilling. They are not children nor wild animals. They are choosing left wing extremist policies you routinely espouse in these posts. They have crippling taxes, unconstitutional disarmament laws, and a host of other socialist/communist ideas and policies in full swing.
The city is a progressive/socialist success story. It is bankrupt and broken because communists do not understand how to manage. Exactly why Owe’Malley left the governor’s mansion with a structural deficit. Wake up.
Intervene? Why not go down there and join one of the hundreds of candle vigils calling for the end of violence… they seem to be working so well. Why not just go knock on doors asking people to testify about the shooting they watched happen… assure them you will stand there with your proper pronouns to protect them from the gangbangers with their illegally possessed and obtained firearms. C’mon man.
Bob says
Colin, unfortunately, much of inner-city Baltimore is a “racial ghetto”. “Receivership” even the declaration of martial law could be a dramatic first step to jump-start things. It might send a loud and clear signal that enough is enough and things are going to change. Then follow up with making home ownership a priority and incentivizing business investment.
Environments largely determine outcomes. If you grow up in a racial ghetto the deck is stacked against you. First things first. You have to feel safe and secure before personal responsibility and accountability start to kick in.

I assume picking on “Exceptional Joe” is a key part of your daily therapy program. Venting your frustrations is a good thing..
SoulCrusher says
There is nothing exceptional about Joe Biden. If you call complaining about policy, unconstitutional mandates and his intentional destruction of our country an act of picking on him then you are just as much of a moron as Joe Biden. Biden and his whole family are treasonous agents of the CCP and other foreign nations that hate us. The Biden family should be imprisoned, yet they are still selling out our country to those whom hate the United States. Anyone who supports the idiocy of the current Democratic “Not See” Party is a traitor as well. This isn’t about politics. This is about TREASON and if you can’t see that then you are a “Not See” Traitor too….
Open Your Eyes says
SC I have asked numerous times for someone on this thread to help me understand why they would describe Mr. Biden as “exceptional”. I was inquiring before and after the election as to why he should be considered the best the Democrats had to offer. The only response was from Bob. He informed me that Mr. Biden was a U.S. born citizen old enough to be President, and had 47 years in Congress. Also because he received more votes. (which would be very questionable if the election were to be held today as reflected by his approval ratings) Kind of vague and evasive. Probably because he has already proven to be train wreck.
SoulCrusher says
OYE, I don’t think Biden won that election. There was too much fraud, both foreign and domestic. However, you are absolutely right in if a new election would be held right now, Biden would lose. He would lose bad. There isn’t anything exceptional about Biden. I can’t think of anything that man has done that has actual helped his fellow man or improve our country. He’s known for touching women and CHILDREN in ways that can only be described as “very weird”. He likes to sniff women’s hair, especially when they are pulling away from him and babies even turn away from him when he moves in to kiss them. It’s because there is something definitely wrong with Traitor Joe and even a baby can see it…

Next week Maryland one of the most gerrymandered states in the union will begin the process to determine how its Congressional Districts will be redrawn. How bout we redraw the First Congressional lines to add more democrats to this traditionally Republican District? Maybe then, we can get rid of that scoundrel Andy Harris and make Maryland 8-0 all democrats. That would be the politically expedient thing to do, albeit not necessarily a fair thing.
SoulCrusher says
Yeah, I don’t think giving the Democrats even more control over this State is a wise thing to do. This State has been Democrat since I was born. After years of the Democracy of idiots and thieves running the show I think it is obvious that the Democrats have failed. Every place the Democrats get in control of they destroy. It has happened all over this Country. Look at the crime. Look at the division and hatred that has been sown. Look at the tyranny instilled. Look at how quickly Democratic elected officials get rich while the people they represent live in poverty and fear. This is the Democracy of idiots and thieves…traitors too.

Sometimes you gotta ‘fight fire with fire’!
SoulCrusher says
You’re brainwashed. The Democrats are trying to take away the vote from the American Citizens thru their proposal of the “For The People Act”. What this actually does is make it easier for non-citizens to fraudulently vote by removing voter ID requirements and other verifications. This is the reason Democrats opened the border and have allowed the Country to be flooded with potential fraudulent voters so they can pre-cheat in order to remain in power. If the “For The People Act” gets passed then our elected officials will be determined by foreign nationals and NOT the American Citizens. Is that what we really want? Furthermore, the new COVID strains, which are not as deadly as the original strain, are being used to push another phase of unnecessary lockdowns in order to allow the fraudulent mail-in ballots again. No one is buying into your BS and the Democratic Party needs to be destroyed.

You guys tried to stack he deck regarding President Trump’s impeachment investigations. You tried to find away to stack the deck in the Supreme Court with the concept of court packing. You tried to stack the deck during the current January 6th hearings by disallowing Republicans you feel would be detrimental to your cause. Now in MD with approximately 2.3 million registered Democrats and only just over one million registered Republicans you want to try to do it again. In MD only 1 in 8 of the House of Representatives, only 12.5% is Republican and you still do not feel secure. You feel the need to stack the deck again. You guys are truly pathetic. I can not tell you how much joy and satisfaction I will feel when you guys get your asses handed to you in the 2022 elections. You can thank your idle “Exceptional Joe” for everything. Do you know how the old saying goes “ you reap what you sow.” Live with it.

SoulCrusher says
Bob, there is nothing to investigate involving Trump’s supporters regarding the Jan. 6th riot, except for the fact that key Democrat and ANTIFA members took part in the actual charge and breach of the capital’s security. That is where your investigation needs to focus on. ANTIFA bused in storm troopers for the Democrat’s fictional narrative of an insurrection. An ANTIFA member recorded Ashley’s Babbitt’s illegal slaying by a Capital Police Officer and got rewarded handsomely for it. You are just spewing partisan hatred and are pushing the great Democratic lie again. Furthermore, nothing you typed has anything to do with what we’re talking about. You definitely fit in with the Democracy of idiots and thieves.

I listened to the oral arguments before the Supreme Court this week on Mississippi’s abortion bill. The questions raised and asked by Barrett and Kavanaugh were of particular concern. I believe the court will allow Mississippi’s 15-week bill to stand. However, I don’t believe they will overrule Roe v Wade. If they did, the “stench” would be overwhelming.

“Democratic lawmakers renew calls to add seats to the Supreme Court after abortion oral arguments”
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democratic-lawmakers-add-seats-supreme-court-abortion
I don’t think we should pack the court. However, terms limits (maybe 12 years) should be given serious consideration.
SoulCrusher says
Why would a term limit be needed in regards to the interpretation of Constitutional Law? The Constitution is timeless and so should the opinions of that court be timeless. If there is no Constitutional Authority to enact a certain law then that statute or Amendment is VOID. The government can’t give itself a power or authority that was not ordained and when they do it is FRAUD. When a Supreme Court Justice makes a decision of LAW that is unconstitutional then that same Justice is guilty of TREASON and should be removed immediately. There is no such thing as an unconstitutional precedent because that which is unconstitutional is NULL and VOID. Any case where an unconstitutional decision was made can be reheard due to the FRAUD it represents. There is many a subject that has been incorrectly heard and ruled upon. It is time for us to bring this government to its knees and make its employees pay homage to WE THE PEOPLE. The NEW DEAL is over and the GREEN NEW DEAL is dead before it even arrives.
Urkidding says
Okay Bob… What will 12 year term limits accomplish?
Open Your Eyes says
Absolutely nothing. Just another attempt by the Democrats to “stack the deck”. They figured they pulled it off in the Presidential election utilizing censorship, race baiting, and control the MSM, so why not try to work and manipulate the system again.
SoulCrusher says
They did more than stack the deck in that election. They added millions of cards…
Bob says
Urkidding,regrettably, we have allowed the Supreme Court and its Senate nomination process to become so politically polarized that reform is necessary. Our highest court must be held to the highest possible standard. Just as ‘term limits’ make our legislatures ‘more accountable’ they would also make our Supreme Court judges ‘more accountable’. It seems simple and straight forward to me. It’s something we probably should have done a long time ago.
Urkidding says
Thank you Bob…
Now I understand. So the problem is that the nomination process has become too politicized. So, that now begs the question: How does sending the process full bore politically motivated cure that problem?
Bob, this is why I said previously you come from the mindset that a drunk can drink himself sober.
The real reform, as I see it, is that the political left stop having these petty hissy fits when things do not go their way. It is childish. Actually, it is sad. Grow up!
The SCOTUS is not – as you put it – “accountable” to us! Good grief, did you ever take a civics class? Have you even read one founding document? Have you exerted any effort to understand the perils of anarchy in the form of ‘democracy’? Simple majority rule has deep-seeded peril for minorities in it. Learn about an independent judiciary apart from politicization before embracing this idiotic idea. Better, read the Constitution!!! You are completely disarmed in this conversation. I am not sure why the left loves the idea so much?
Oh wait… I know why… control, control, control…. you want everyone slaves to the government. As if an entity that has murdered hundreds of millions has somehow found your best interest in its intentions. Stupid.
People like you are extreme dangers to freedom. You are an extremist that desires nothing more than to demolish the fabric that has kept people free from oppression, and has found a way to improve its own record of doing so.
You are the embodiment of what Orwell envisioned when he predicted the face of humanity would be a face crushed by a boot.
Tell you what Bob… please, before you say any more about reforms… go to your utopian paradise in North Korea… spend some time there. Then come back and tell us about the purest form of government control you want so badly… until then, please either learn about this country or shut up.
Bob says
Urkidding, a ‘term limit’ is hardly a “…full bore politically motivated cure…” It is merely a practical, useful tool to promote accountability. The Supreme Court IS and MUST BE held accountable by the people”.
BTW, you have two options that are mutually exclusive regarding my response to any future direct questions you might pose on this forum. Do you want me to respond or just ignore you? Pick your poison!
Open Your Eyes says
Bob, you know it would not be an issue if conservatives did not hold the majority in the court. I have been on this thread for a long time and don’t recall you being critical about “the weekend at Ruth’s” show which might have lasted longer than the gun smoke series.
Bob says
OYE, you’re right. I wouldn’t be ‘as concerned’ if the court had a 6-3 liberal majority. With that said, I still believe term limits would be a step toward making the court more accountable. Since you are such a strong proponent of “accountability” I expect you would agree.
Biden’s Supreme Court Commission issued their final report (300 pages) today with no formal recommendations. There was no support for packing the court. They did however note there was bipartisan public support for 12 or 18-year term limits.
Thanks for mentioning the “weekend at Ruth’s”. I went back and took a look at some of the old SNL Ginsburg skits. They are hilarious.
Urkidding says
Bob….
First, you didn’t answer my question (your willingness to do so is addressed below). I asked what advantage there was to politicizing the SCOTUS with term limits. Simply not agreeing it is not politicizing is not an answer. You cite accountability, but an INDEPENDENT judiciary is answerable to the Constitution, not the popular will of the people. The popular will of the people may find that cheap, enslaved labor is a great idea… an INDEPENDENT judiciary can sit apart from the political process that thought that idea was good and judicially review that such a ‘law’ violated the Constitution. If a majority of the people felt it was an acceptable idea – regardless of what the Constitution says, thus judicial review – then an INDEPENDENT judiciary is there to correct the error. This is what I mean when I say you are unarmed in this conversation. You seem to lack the basic understanding of the Constitution and founding ideas that were argued in Philadelphia.
With respect to bipartisan support… who cares? The two major parties do not have a problem agreeing that crushing third, fourth, etc., parties from national elections. They can agree on that. I disagree. See how that works? I do not give a flip what ‘bipartisan’ anything supports.
Secondly, as for what you do with questions… do whatever you want. You are the control freak, you want to enslave people under your jackboots. Respond or ignore… I do not care. I am asking you to get an education in civics before embracing the idiocy spouted by the progressive left.
I am watching a group of crybabies have tantrums over the electoral college when it doesn’t go their way… Then have another crying fit because they did not like the way a case was argued by the SCOTUS…. GROW UP.
Bob says
Urkidding,
Congratulations! You have been awarded The Dagger’s Mumbo-Jumbo award of the day for putting 3 negatives in a single sentence. See below sentence from your previous post:
“Simply not agreeing it is not politicizing is not an answer.”
I’ll end this post with Groucho Marx’s famous triple-negative – “I cannot say that I do not disagree with you.”
Open Your Eyes says
You indicated that I am a person that supports accountability. That is an accurate assessment.“Accountability” means the taking of ownership for the results of one’s actions. Each of the Justices apply their interpretation of the Constitution when rendering decisions. Sometimes their decision may not support my more conservative views or your more liberal views but a decision will be made. That decision is or will be public record for all interested parties to see. Therefore whether you agree or not accountability is in place. I think your use of the term “accountability” really doesn’t support an argument for term limits. It does support an argument for someone who wants to pack the court with people of their own opinions and ideologies.
Urkidding says
Hey Bob,
You are right… you got me on grammar… you can send my trophy now. My goodness the sting from that jab nearly derailed my day… Okay, let us please get back on the actual topic from this mild deflection you offered.
We were outlining how you feel the judiciary is somehow accountable to the people rather than its intended role of being independent, and its secondary assumed role of reviewing actions under the principle of a balance of powers.
We then took a quick peak that somehow you feel bipartisan support for anything somehow means anything. Two foxes pointing the finger at the other for clearing out the hen house. I’m sure you can earn one of your Dagger awards for some level of moronic reasoning for that one. (I see why you went there, Bob… it feels so righteous to award such trophies – yes, I’m trolling your childish behavior.)
You can answer any of these questions (or ignore as you prefer):
Why do you support ending an independent judiciary?
Why do you support subjecting the time honored principles of common law to trends of the moment?
Why do you feel one decision (that has not even been handed down yet, which renders this latest hissy fit all the more laughable) requires packing the SCOTUS?
I’ll even leave grammar policing out of it if it makes you feel better. I’d really just like to hear a solid argument founded in some level of jurisprudence. My problem is that you simply echo the ramblings that come from that wing of the Democratic Party that spouts off hissy fits rather than substantive arguments. Give me something other than crying with your thumb in your mouth.
Bob says
Urkidding,
Below are the questions you posed and my responses:
Question: “Why do you support ending an independent judiciary?”
Answer: I do not support ending an independent judiciary.
Question: “Why do you support subjecting the time honored principles of common law to trends of the moment?”
Answer: Common Law, like civil law is a work in progress. Neither are written in stone. And both are subject to change on a continuing basis.
Question: “Why do you feel one decision (that has not even been handed down yet, which renders this latest hissy fit all the more laughable) requires packing the SCOTUS?”
Answer: I am NOT IN FAVOR of packing the Supreme Court. I am in favor of term limits.
SoulCrusher says
Once again, the Constitution is timeless. If it is unconstitutional, it is illegal or an over reach. Over reaches are NOT law. Over reaches are a means of political persecution introduce by TRAITORS in legislature. Common Law is NOT a work in progress and the only way to alter the Constitutional Common Law is by Constitutional Amendment. Even then, the Amendment MUST be within that which is ordained or it is an over reach. Packing the Supreme Court to satisfy a political party is an act of TREASON because the Constitution doesn’t see politics and is specific in its design and intentions, which would NOT be followed by either political party. The fact is those whom came before us allowed an illegal and unconstitutional government to grow like a cancer. Term limits are unnecessary in regards to the Supreme Court. Term limits are needed for elected officials because career politicians are TRAITORS. When you war against the Constitution and WE THE PEOPLE, you have committed an act of TREASON. That’s the way it is and I don’t care what noble cause you come up with to over ride or ignore the Constitution. It is still TREASON and those whom seek to commit TREASON should be dealt with in the manner set by the 2nd Continental Congress. The Constitution says a Justice is appointed for life. Politics change with the trends of the moment, NOT the Constitution….
Urkidding says
You replied: “Answer: I do not support ending an independent judiciary.”
So, how do you explain “accountability”? The SCOTUS is already accountable to the Constitution. Render it accountable to the popular majority and it will instantly lose its independence. Justices will become mere politicians. Justices can be known for their jurisprudence or their activism. Here is a hint… those known for their activism are the ones politicizing the process of judicial proceedings. Think deeply on that one.
You replied: “Answer: Common Law, like civil law is a work in progress. Neither are written in stone. And both are subject to change on a continuing basis.”
Well, common law is actually written in precedence. That precedence does require a measure of flexibility of what reasonable people can expect under reasonable circumstances. You are correct common law is not written in stone, but it is also not written in sand either.
Civil law… not sure what you mean by that. Traditionally it is the body of law outside criminal acts… there is a segment of that which falls under the notions of common law if not explicitly than implicitly. You need to clarify that for me.
You replied: “Answer: I am NOT IN FAVOR of packing the Supreme Court. I am in favor of term limits.”
Correct, I cited your advocacy incorrectly. It was under the banner of judicial reform and I switched the terms due to the ramblings of AOC and her relentless stupidity. Sorry. Yes, you said term limits. Yet, here again; however, we find ourselves still mired in childish rantings.
Thus, under the banner of court reform… riddle me this. Can you cite from memory at least 5 cases decided in the last term of the Court that demonstrates the need for reform? If you can (from memory) excellent, let us begin the conversation. If not, I kindly ask that these ideas be properly placed where they belong… in the trash heap.
Bob says
Since you have issues with MY ANSWERS to YOUR QUESTIONS, it’s only fair, if we switch things up and go with MY QUESTIONS – YOUR ANSWERS. Are you ready?
1. Whom did you vote for in the 2016 & 2020 Presidential Elections?
2. Are you a registered Republican?
3. Are you a Constitutionalist?
“You can answer any of these questions (or ignore as you prefer)”
Urkidding says
1. Whom did you vote for in the 2016 & 2020 Presidential Elections?
Write-in candidates both times.
2. Are you a registered Republican?
Unaffiliated.
3. Are you a Constitutionalist?
In the sense that government is to govern the least and be at the mercy of the governed, yes. I do not find myself to be libertarian, but many of their ideas find favor in my opinions.
For clarity… yes, I have issues, but I have more questions than issues.
You say accountability for the SCOTUS… what exactly do you mean by that? You say it, but have yet to define what you mean by it. If you leave me to my own understanding of that word I am compelled to believe you want the SCOTUS to bend to majority views – in other words lose its independence. By definition that is anarchy. That is exactly why we are a republic, which protects the rights of minorities. An independent judiciary is functionally the only way to achieve this.
You say you want accountability (which it already has), but to the people (which removes its independence). Thus, I ask you why you want to remove its independence! But then tell me you don’t. Pick one!
Give me an articulate reason to think this is anything more than a hissy fit. Offer me something here. This is exactly why I said you were unarmed in this discussion. You think you understand how this government was designed and formed, but show clear signs of gross misunderstandings and severe shortcomings in knowledge about it. I am trying to extract your thought process because it does not align with anything I’ve ever read or studied about it.
Single issue thinking is dangerous. That is exactly why I asked you to cite from memory 5 cases that have been important enough to usher in reforms to include term limits and/or packing. These are extreme measures that should not be taken lightly. If you cannot do this I will not apologize for thinking it is because you are a low-informed person trying to sound relevant.
So, once yet again… please answer what I am actually asking you.
Bob says
Who were your write-in choices?
Urkidding says
Well, let us see… you asked me 3 questions and I answered them. I asked you several, and the last two are really important to this conversation continuing. I will share them again.
What do you mean by accountability?
What 3 cases in the last term assisted you deciding reform was necessary now?
(I even lowered the bar for you… not 5, 3… that should be easy… from memory… something this big should have dozens of examples that EASILY come to mind… c’mon man…)
If you have no intention to be honest, I’ll consider this done. I will accept the TRUTH that you indeed do mean to eliminate the independence of the judiciary since its terms are explicitly outlined to remove politics from the position. You have offered nothing to clarify or clearly define ‘accountability’ beyond my use of the term. Thus, on the one question I asked you either lied or did not understand the question. Secondly, I asked you to provide simple evidence to support your assertion regarding recent cases. You have not given one beyond the one not even decided yet. Continuing this is an exercise in stupidity. Very typical when discussing things with the political left… full of air and completely empty of substance.
Bob says
Urkidding. Here is my take on your reluctance to provide the NAME of the person(s) you voted for in the 2016 and 2020. Perhaps your memory is playing tricks on you. Maybe, you didn’t vote in either of those Presidential elections. All you have to do to clear up this mystery is provide the NAME of the person(s)
Open Your Eyes says
Well I would like to know what the Dagger readers feel the outcome of President Obama’s buddy Jussie Smollett false report trial should be. The trial doesn’t seem to be getting much media coverage from CNN and MSNBC. Furthermore, If Mr. Smollett is in fact found guilty, does anyone feel that the “Exceptional Leader” President Biden should offer an apology or at least a retraction to the American people for his premature editorializing regarding the incident that he made while he was on the campaign process which probably increased unnecessary racial divide.
Bob says
My hunch is Jussie Smollett manufactured the hate-crime hoax for publicity. If the jury finds Smollett guilty, then I believe “Exceptional Joe” should apologize for and delete his Jan 2019 tweet.
Open Your Eyes says
I too think that the in the case against Mr. Smollett the evidence is prima facile and overwhelming. I think that his injecting of political and racial elements into the equation was only to give his story more legs. I would be somewhat surprised if a guilty verdict will not be rendered but you never know. I think his motivation was purely publicity motivated. He is apparently not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Sadly however it was the Democrats and the liberal MSM that attempted to “again” politically weaponize race to gain leverage during the election process with no apparent concerns regarding the irreconcilable damage and division it might cause. Really pathetic actually.
SoulCrusher says
I don’t know if Smollett’s idiocy actually caused any harm to anyone and the ideal that a criminal fraud took place is kinda weak. I don’t like Smollett and I see what you mean by using something racially motivated in a time of unrest could be taken into consideration. However, he already forfeited the bail money and he lost his acting job because of his idiocy. I don’t think his fraud would’ve prevented riots from occurring and I don’t think his actions caused us to be anymore divided than we already were. He will always be known as a peter puffing liar and that in itself is enough. I never wish for private citizens to suffer more than they deserve. Smollett’s an idiot and no one got hurt but him….
Open Your Eyes says
This is my take for what it is worth regarding Mr. Smollett. During his publicity stunt it resulted in over 3000 hours of unnecessary police investigation in the city of Chicago. Those resources could have been used for far better reasons to include other actual crime investigations, crime prevention, and patrol to name a few. It can never really be determined what crimes could have been prevented or if lives could have been saved but the actions of Mr. Smollett could have very well negatively impacted crime and harm. The people being most victimized in the Chicago area seem to be people of color. It seems to me if they truly cared, representatives of BLM should grab him up and yank a knot in his ass and I don’t mean in a way that he would enjoy.

“Jussie Smollett convicted of staging hate crime, lying to cops”
https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jussie-smollett-verdict-alleged-hate-crime-hoax-trial
SoulCrusher says
I understand what you’re saying. However, I have seen no specific harm caused from his actions, other than to himself. We can could’ve, would’ve, should’ve into eternity, but the State can’t be the victim. The whole publicity stunt is reprehensible and maybe he is guilty of false statements and such, but there is no victim and he had the bail money forfeited. How many times have people faked assaults and got their spouse thrown into jail? Nobody ever gets thrown in jail for those false statements. I agree that his actions were wrong, but criminal, I just don’t know about that. He will forever be a little liar and a con man, but actors have no problem being liars and con men. That’s what they do….

Last week I ran across a particularly disturbing poll where most (52%) of young Americans (18 to 29) surveyed believed that our county’s democracy is either “in trouble” or has “failed.”
I am deeply concerned about the division in our country. We are no longer the “United States of America” We have become the “Divided States of America”. We have allowed ourselves to be divided by just about everything — race, ethnicity, politics, rich versus poor, urban versus rural. You name it. It probably divides us. What unites us is shrinking dramatically. To make matters even worse we can’t even unite in our response to a devastating pandemic. Our democracy is in serious jeopardy. We got to snap out of this craziness before it’s too late.
Urkidding says
Hi Bob,
You wrote: “We have allowed ourselves to be divided by just about everything — race, ethnicity, politics, rich versus poor, urban versus rural.”
Just who are ‘we’ in this statement?
I find this curious.
Race – You are taking such generalized liberty applying leftwing driven identity division to everyone. I am aware I have implicit bias when viewing the population around me, and strive to be sensitive to others’ feelings regarding their backgrounds. I’m sorry you are stuck in the old racist mindsets of the past. I find strength in the visual characteristics that identify us, not division. However, I have known ivory tower liberals for years and am fully aware of the racism that sits just below the surface of their platitudes.
Ethnicity – This one I understand fully. Again, the liberals who have spent their lives in white-washed neighborhoods do not immediately envision multi-ethnic families. I have one. You should look at all the color around you, or lack of, and broaden your experiences, Bob.
Politics – Another easy one, Bob. What is wrong with folks having minds of their own? Why does it have to be ‘one party rule’ by the left? You know, the one that resembles what the state senate is about to approve for redistricting? The Democratic Party in this state is mindless. When O’Malley left office we were facing structural budget deficits and the only solution the Democrats ever brought to this issue was increases in taxes, the only play in their book. Almost 8 years with an adult in the room we are economically healthy. True, for federal representation we have two idiots for senators and the congressional delegation cannot collectively form a sentence better than 10% Big Guy.
Rich vs. Poor – So, stop supporting the class warfare favored by the left they are using to bring Marxist/communist revolution to our shores. Very simple.
Urban vs. rural – Again, the solutions are easy. Perhaps the Democratic politburo should stop adopting policies that punish one group of people in favor of another. You know… shutting down domestic energy production to punish people for not living in Democratically controlled cities where crime is encouraged and law enforcers are punished. You know… like down the road. Maybe someday everyone will live in those concrete towers and be far easier to control… until then, we have had freedom in this land and most of us desire to keep it.
You see, Bob… item by item you deep concerns circle back to their sources. Perhaps you and your like minded enemies of freedom should not be so divisive after all.

Urkidding says
You are right… AOC and the lunatics with her are all butt hurt over a holiday photo when Biden is packing Obama’s cages with kids… that is pretty low bar of accountability there. A more appropriate image would be pictures of kids doing smash and grabs because leftist policies are encouraging crime around the country. Again, I agree with you… the left is lowering that bar to levels a civilized society should not accept. You deserve a trophy, Bob, for pointing this out.

“What New Data On Gun Recoveries Can Tell Us About Increased Violence In 2020”
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-new-data-on-gun-recoveries-can-tell-us-about-increased-violence-in-2020/
Thought you might interested in the above article. What’s you take on this short time-to-crime data?
Sure, I believe the ATF. Fuck those liars says
From the article:
“Researchers interviewed for this story cautioned that the number of guns recovered and traced by law enforcement does not always indicate the amount of gun crime in a given year. In other words, factors driving increases in the amount of short-time-crime guns in the ATF’s data may be separate from the factors contributing to gun violence.”
“Dr. Garen Wintemute, who directs the Violence Prevention Research Program at UC Davis, said he wasn’t surprised that the largest increase in access to firearms in history happened alongside a parallel surge in violence.”
“”But so far, his team has struggled to find any causal association. In July, he and Schleimer co-authored a paper that sought to investigate what effect, if any, the pandemic sales boom had on violent crime. It found no relationship. Instead, they concluded that unemployment, economic disparity and physical distancing exacerbated by the pandemic were far more potent predictors of increased violence.The findings square with theories from researchers, violence prevention activists and former perpetrators about the root causes of gun violence.”
Fuck the gun grabbing lies and the ATF. FJB
Bob says
As far as the facts on guns & gun violence who do you believe in?
SoulCrusher says
Anyone who believes the Federal Government is ignorant to the facts of the situation. Statistics released by the Federal Government are NEVER accurate because the Government wishes to paint a false picture of the situation. If you don’t believe me, just look at COVID and those falsified stats and facts. Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. Guns are an instrument and it depends on the user as to what tune will be played. Violent crime is a result of Government policy that makes people hate each other. Be it race, wealth, informing on others or people simply trying to control the actions of others, hatred is bred thru Government policy. People shouldn’t hate each other as much as we see today, but the Government and the State run media want hatred because a divided population makes their agenda easier to attain. Remember, your Government hates you and if you don’t believe me simply put your mask on and remember who is trying to make you believe that a paper or cloth mask will protect you from a microscopic parasite our own Government funded the research into creating….
Urkidding says
Looks to me Bob like you need to read past the headlines…
I own several firearms and have never committed a crime with them, or without for that matter. Well, short of perhaps a misdemeanor speed violation in a car. That is the ONLY relevant fact in this discussion.
Another air bubble. Keep trying, though.
Bob says
Urkidding, Why do you own firearms? Do you feel you need protection?
If you voted for a democrat, you owe the American People a fucking apology says
“As far as the facts on guns & gun violence who do you believe in?”
Who do you believe? Is it the simple fucks who tell us their trillion dollar plans won’t cost us anything? Or tell us inflation is transitory? Is it that gun grabber Bloomberg or his sperm receptacles JHU and Monsanto Bitch Shannon Watts you believe? Or maybe you believed the “taxed us out the ass” furniture thief O’Malley and the useless as fuck Frosh when they attempted further disarmament of law abiding Maryland citizens. I’ll bet you believed the former hyphenated mayor, current mayor gumby, and the mosbys when they spoonfed you their lying shit. I’m sure you have pictures of the Cuomos and the CNN logo on your buttplug.
I believed NONE of them. They, the mainstream media, all dems, and the current Nazi motherfuckers who stole the election, can all eat a bag of shit.
Bob says
I don’t think you believe in much of anything. You come off as a classic nihilist. My sympathy to you and yours.
SoulCrusher says
Really? A “nihilist”? I had to look that one up. So, we are now shaming because of a lack of moral or religious values all due to someone showing a lack of respect to Geriatric Joe and the rest of the Democratic Traitors Against America. Bob, I have more respect for those whom speak the truth than any of you that keep spreading the great Democratic lie. You aren’t a Democrat and I love it when people call you out for being the “Not See” that you are…

Bob says
Rand Paul sent a letter to the President yesterday requesting that federal assistance to Kentucky for disaster relief be expedited. There was no need to write that letter. Rest assured, OUR President has already initiated and expedited that process. “Exceptional Joe” has more compassion and heart in his little finger than Paul has in his entire being. Rand Paul is the same guy, who in 2013 and 2017 voted against federal disaster relief for New York, Puerto Rico, and Texas. His hypocrisy is simply mind-boggling. He is a partisan hack, the likes of which has rarely been seen.
The devastation from those deadly tornadoes is almost incomprehensible. To the victims of this disaster remember that your country is with you. You will rebuild and recover.
Open Your Eyes says
Respectfully Bob I’m not sure how doing his job right, for once, makes him “exceptional “ . Sorry. When you factor in his handling of the pandemic, the economy, oil independence, Afghanistan, the border,crime, inflation, and division in our country I have trouble labeling him even as mediocre. Due the time of the season as a Christian I think I am being more than fair. I don’t expect a reasonable counter to my statement only evasion.
Bob says
OYE, How’s this for a “reasonable counter” to your statement I’ll refer to the President as “Exceptional Joe” and you can refer to him President as “Not Even Mediocre Joe”. The truth of the matter is OUR President’s Job performance lies somewhere in the middle between OUR two somewhat extreme political POVs.
SoulCrusher says
He is NOT my President. He is a TRAITOR Against the United States and a member of the Democratic “Not See” Party. He fully supports the CCP and his whole family has profited off of harming my Country. I can’t call him President…he wasn’t duly elected.
Open Your Eyes says
I’m not sure I would call it a “reasonable counter” in that I sited numerous deficiencies that were not, and have never been addressed but whatever.You then go on to say “that the truth of the matter is Our President’s job performance ls somewhere in the middle between Our two somewhat extreme political POVs”. Okay I think we have established something here. You have labeled him as “exceptional “ and I consider him “less than mediocre” . You then make the statement that he falls somewhere in between both of our assessments of his abilities and his job performance. If this is in fact accurate Joe Biden should not be labeled as “exceptional”. I have always given you the benefit of the doubt for being a reasonably intelligent individual but somewhat naive to the real world. The only reasonable conclusion that I can reach is this. On this site there are several conservative or right leaning people who are extremely disappointed with Mr. Biden’s performance or lack there of. Instead of finding legitimate justifications for his actions, if they do exist, you choose to antagonize for your own enjoyment because sadly you have never put forth valid justification for his actions. I guess everyone should have a hobby. I think yours has been exposed by your own admissions. Hallelujah! Far be it from me to be critical of someone’s pleasure pursuits as long as they don’t violate the law or harm anyone. I think finally I have established a greater understanding of what motivates you. I think we have all just experienced a Christmas miracle.
Urkidding says
Open Your Eyes,
You are very generous. Bob has proven he does not read past the headlines, much if he does. I have assessed him as little more than a wanker. In the new manual used by the left, he is what Orwell referred to as a ‘prole’; a useful idiot. He will carry the left’s water while receiving nothing or little directly as a benefit. He rests comfortably with this status because he has discovered you can break the little rules if you keep the big ones.
That is exactly why he has dodged and avoided my questions. When asked something directly he redirects right back at me (or whomever) because he knows the tank is empty. If compelled by logic, reason, or some other mechanism to account for his statements he retreats to his one trick, casting accusations in a projecting manner.
I largely took to engaging with him out of amusement. I need to give my mind a rest and poke him back. Thus, when he projected anger toward me I felt it was not only humorous, but rather telling. It was easily discernable to see that being confronted and held to account for information to sustain his opinions – he had nothing. He knows he wants to politicize and strip judicial independence away, just cannot bring himself to admit he is ignorant. He also knows he cannot cite at least one SCOTUS case to support the reforms he sees as being good. He can only repeat the drivel coming from AOC and her minions.
I actually feel bad for him. It is sad someone is walking around so easily influenced by headlines and completely devoid of thinking. It is frightening there is someone who looks at headlines, forms an opinion planted by a dimwit, and then argues for it. Of course JB looks exceptional… when the face in the mirror is nothing more than a hollow mannequin with strings to dance where they tell you… the world that promises you free everything is surprisingly intelligent… as long as you are led to believe them. Like I said, a prole.
SoulCrusher says
I don’t know. I think Bob would agree with anything the State run media says and/or anything the Democratic “Not See” Party is pushing. The policy of these idiots is so stupid and they still can’t get past Trump running the Country better than any R or D in my lifetime. They hate Trump and continue to blame their own inadequacies on Trump. It’s actually funny…because even a child can see it. We get it. They don’t like Trump and want a centralized government that rules everything. But WHY? The Federal government, under Biden, has proven it is incompetent and untrustworthy. So why would you want to give them more control? They claim they have a “For The People” act, but that really takes the vote away from the US citizens that are supposed to be the only ones voting. They now claim there is a national crime problem and want to Federalize police power. However, if you buy into this claim we have to realize that there is an organization promoting crime on a national level and the last time I checked it was the Democrats. The murders are incredible. We haven’t seen rates like this in decades, on a national scale. However, it seems mostly blacks killing blacks and I don’t hear much from BLM anymore because blacks have proven black lives don’t matter. At least not to them. Look, police should have the authority to apprehend or kill a murderer and that power is a STATE power, not a Federal power. Reimpose the policy of the past that drove the murder rates down, at least until we get these morons under control. No one believes the Democracy of idiots and thieves anymore. It’s time to get things right, but you can’t do it under Democratic leadership because these current Democrats want chaos and death.
Open Your Eyes says
For a long while, dating back to before the Presidential election, I have requested for someone to help me understand why one would consider Joe Biden was the most qualified choice for POTUS. The only justification given to date was that Mr. Biden served in Congress for many years and was a US born citizen old enough to hold the position. I was really not impressed by the response. I could not understand why a better justification was not presented. There had to be something, maybe. Then I had occasion to watch President Biden’s own “Minister of Propaganda” Jen Psaki being “stumped” and basically unable to come up with a response when asked by a reporter to site Mr. Biden’s most significant accomplishment since becoming President. Kind of speaks volumes really.
SoulCrusher says
Joe Biden became the most qualified Democrat to run for POTUS because he is the Democrat that has done the most harm to the people the Democrats represent. I thought you understood the Democracy Hypocrisy. Look, it doesn’t matter if they are an R or a D. The government creates crime thru unconstitutional statutory law. They then demonize people that don’t conform to the unconstitutional jibber jabber by calling them criminals, while allowing common law crime to go unpunished and making the real criminals martyrs and heroes. They’ve been doing this crap for years. Joe Biden did the most harm to minorities thru legislation in the past, so of course the minorities vote for him. However, he didn’t win the 2020 election and that election was stolen by the New World Order (aka UN, foreign nations and religions). The Democratic mission is to use improper legislation and media outlets to push a war on cops because the government is waging war on the people, which is illegal and unconstitutional. Once people have had enough of the anarchy they then demand stricter policing and stiffer sentences thru the same media outlets they used to get people against police and law. Same thing applies to Biden. They thought who could we bring in to screw everything up and institute even more unconstitutional government control on behalf of the New World Order. He will also start an unwinnable war against our adversaries by making our military weak thru feminization and pandering. This is done to control the growth of the population. Same thing with COVID. Our government and the New World Order created COVID behind the scenes with our money and then unleashed it on the world to bring about ignorance, chaos and death. Listening to Fauci should be all the proof you need. The truth is Biden being an unconstitutional moron and a traitor against our Country is what made him the most qualified. I don’t know what more to tell you….
SoulCrusher says
Oh and just for the record, Biden’s most significant accomplishment as President is somehow keeping himself and his family free from prosecution even though it is so obvious that his family and himself have betrayed all of us. This goes back a long time and occurred while he was VP and a Senator. Get ready for it. The Democrats will turn on traitor Joe and then we get that cackling idiot as the first woman President. Watch for it…

Urkidding, I fully realize you don’t owe me anything. What seems somewhat strange to me, though, is your reluctance to share their NAMES. I thought perhaps I would better understand your POV on things, if I knew whom YOU BELIEVE would make a good President
Also, I don’t think your dishonest. I do think, however, this thread is making you angry and that’s not a good thing. My suggestion is just let it go. We’ll agree to disagree.
Urkidding says
I see, your response to two mutually exclusive questions is predicated on who I voted for… honestly, I don’t get it. If it finally gets you to answer…
Frankly I do not recall. In 2016 the guy was running on a write-in campaign and I liked his website. He basically said the country should follow the Constitution. I felt that was a very solid idea. I knew my vote would be tossed since he was not an approved write-in. My vote probably got tallied for Hillary… I now realize after further thought I voted for the libertarian in 2020, so I did not write in as I first thought. I felt it was high time a woman became president that was not something close to Satan’s sister Hillary.
So, there. Now… back to you…
What exactly do you mean by accountability and to whom?
Please provide 3 SCOTUS decisions from last term – from memory – that highlight the time is high for radical and significant changes to the Constitution?
(Hint, an undecided case does not count… nor does the hissy fit over Kavanaugh’s appointment… 3 decided cases from memory… nothing more, nothing less…)
Angry? How does a thread do that?
I could agree to disagree, but there is one problem with doing that… I need your answers to two questions before I can logically do that. I’m waiting.

Twelve (12) major Democratic cities broke their homicide records. These are new kids on the block. Not talking about the usual Democratic kill zones. You know Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit, etc. All of those cities have voted Democratic for over 30 years or more. I wonder what tricks our “exceptional leader” has to turn this around. I would really like to hear it. I hope “exceptional Joe” and the folks pulling his strings have a real plan and not just a reaction. Probably not because in most of the cases the homicides involve people of color victimizing people of color. To really address the problem and hold people accountable would not be consistent with the Democratic narrative.
Urkidding says
Tricks? Plural? The Dems are one trick ponies. Honestly, at this point I do not believe the Reps could provide much for the cities. Most of their problems have become cultural rather than a mere ‘symptom’. Somewhere in here Bob suggested our governor should take over the city… I personally find that ‘solution’ to be patriarchal, demeaning, and perhaps even racist. Simple accountability is all that is needed.
For example, the city down the road from us… the ‘usual kill zone’ as you call it. Why is that? If we are honest we know exactly why. I’m in favor of letting the suffering get bad enough that the local populace finally stands up and realizes the people giving them everything are also taking everything from them. When you let government get that powerful it happens. My heart aches for them, but until they decide to vote the fox out of his job watching the hen house, it will never end.
Is it hopeless? I think so, but the optimist in me holds out that it may change.

As long as there are dem idiots like Gumby and Mosby running those cities nothing will ever change. I’m cool with it as long as it stays there.

Fox News might be right when they describe this as, “nail in the coffin” for Biden’s Build Back Better. I hope not. Manchin’s lack of support is a real slap in the face to his constituents.

I suspect most Democrats secretly are standing on their chairs applauding Manchin for preventing a complete landslide loss in the midterms. Had this passed I think the Reps could have had enough majorities to run both Sleepy and Cackles out on a rail, and make the new Speaker the President. For an administration that is circling the toilet, the last thing they truly need is another self-inflicted 2-3% inflation jump.
SoulCrusher says
They should be applauding Manchin, but not because of the vote. The legislation being considered would be an act of fraud, war and treason. That is why they should be applauding…however, that which is unconstitutional is illegal and this legislation would be null and void before it even goes into effect.

“Exceptional Joe” and the Democrats have dropped the ball regarding the availability of the COVID-19 rapid tests. These tests have been in short supply for at least several months. To make matters worse we now have a run on these rapid tests because of the Omicron variant. The President needs to get moving on this – NOW!
Bob says
According to the lead author of the below study, “It’s virtually impossible” to tell between a cough and COVID-19 unless you get tested”
https://www.businessinsider.com/cold-symptoms-headache-fatigue-sore-throat-sneeze-covid-omicron-study-2021-12
The current situation is surely going to put a real crimp in the Holiday celebrations.
SoulCrusher says
Reread your first sentence, moron. If it is virtually impossible to tell the difference between a cough and COVID, then maybe it is because the variants are about as deadly as a cough. Furthermore, with the inaccuracy of the rapid tests, how do we know that all these supposed COVID cases aren’t nothing but a cough? Why would this impact holiday celebrations? The answer is because this “Nanny” State has educated a bunch of morons who are afraid of their own shadow, yet alone the common cold. Anyone who cancels their holiday plans over this is a total moron, unless they plan on having contact with someone whom a cold could harm. This is getting ridiculous and it is time to stop following the governmental fear machine.

In a country where the Democrats have attempted to employ division by politically weaponizing race, religious, and ethnic differences. “It came”.

Todd is a traitor and hates every American. He is a shill and a mouthpiece for every anti-American organization. I wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire
SoulCrusher says
Agreed and typed up like a REAL American.
Open Your Eyes says
Agreed. Mr Todd is another of the type that grossly overvalues his own intellect and wit. I have to wonder if he is in some way related to Jen Psaki. I am however impressed with his daily attempts at concealing his receding hairline. I guess everyone has to be good at something.

“The Constitution isn’t working”
https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/587431-the-constitution-isnt-working?rl=1
This opinion piece is spot-on! I’m sure most righties (especially the Constitutionalists) on this forum will disagree. However, the truth hurts sometimes. We need to recognize that our democracy is unraveling and in dire need of real reform.
Please help, I'm running out of statues to destroy says
His minions aren’t happy with the dick-dance the Scarecrow-In-Chief has done on this great country after just one year so they want to rewrite all the rules. I wonder who Xiden has in mind to be the new framers of the Constitution? They’d better hurry with their drafts because November isn’t that far away. FJB
SoulCrusher says
There is NO Democracy and this is a Constitutional Republic. The only Democracy you are guaranteed is a Democratic type of election when determining elected officials. That is it, nothing else. This type of Democratic process is constrained by the Constitution to make sure those same elected officials do NOT create a tyranny, which they have 10 times over. Those who came before us allowed this unconstitutional government to grow like a cancer and both sides of the aisle have contributed to the erosion of rights as guaranteed by the Constitution. Or so it seems. The truth is the Constitution STILL stands and any action of the government that is unconstitutional is nothing but proof that the government is warring against the Constitution. This is called TREASON. Get over yourself, Bob. Stop being a TRAITOR….
Urkidding says
Hi Bob,
You are correct, I disagree. Why?
First reason is easy. Every problem cited about the inadequacy of the Constitution to endure comes from a wish list of extremist socialist/communist dreams to convert the US to a totalitarian dictatorship.
I love the fact he cited the exchange between Washington and Jefferson… easy solution: repeal the 17th Amendment. Restore that chamber to its proper representation and composition. His statement about the document establishing growth points rather than lines in the sand is mere opinion. There is not a single fact to support this statement. Where growth was expected it was explicitly provided.
Secondly, the entire thesis is built upon public opinion, a bend to majority rule. The problem with simple majority rule – rather than a republic – is that the Founders were trying to avoid tyranny. Again, I know you would be happy with a boot crushing a human face, as long as it wasn’t your face and it was your boot. The rampage for power that the progressives are thirsting and lusting after is hideous. They seek power no honest person would want, nor a dishonest person should have. If the republic is so disgusting, please, leave and go to a place where the majority does rule under the circumstances you desire.
Now, Bob, I want to help you out in these conversations. It is nice you cite article providing confirmation bias, this is a common practice for low level minds. I challenge you to take that extra step.
Define “accountability” as you have offered it as a term. Also, can you please cite 3 decided cases (from over 100) from the SCOUTUS from the previous term to offer any level of justification for reforms, from memory?
Let me give you an example… the article cites a senate failing to do its job. Rather than linking an article that conforms my thoughts, which really means nothing; I provide you a thought, an idea… repeal the 17th Amendment. I argue it has fundamentally reshaped the republican spirit of representation for the people, the states, and indeed the federal government itself. See, I can do that from memory.
Now, your turn.

“Twitter Permanently Suspends Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Account”
This lady is a real piece of work — one of the worst of the worst! She is an absolute wretched person. I sure hope the citizens of her Congressional District in Georgia have the good sense to dump this bimbo in 2022.
SoulCrusher says
I hope Americans dump “Twitter” and allow free speech to flourish on other platforms. We are all tired of these Democratic attacks on established Constitutional rights via Private Corporations and Businesses. Besides, “Twitter” only suspends REAL Americans and allows the Democratic “Not See” Party to do anything it wants in regards to matters such as this. Marjorie Taylor Greene needs to establish a bona fide link of “Twitter” and any Democrat Party member whom holds elected office then sue BOTH of them under Article 3 Section 3. The Democratic Party needs to be stopped at all costs because this crap is ridiculous…

Would all readers please just ignore Bob. As previously stated he thrives on controversy and constantly, due too his feelings of intellectual inadequacy, feels the need to attempt to convince everyone that he is a smart guy. I suspect that his spouse must not him allow him to speak, without permission, at home so he needs an outlet like the Dagger to be heard. Kind of funny but pathetic at the same time. Even the liberal MSM are starting to question Mr. Biden’s overall ability to be POTUS and the VP is a train wreck. Obviously his post was an attempt to generate an argument. No matter how ludicrous it certainly was not based on current polling results. In closing just ignore him.

“White House announces $1B plan to address increases in meat prices”
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/587968-white-house-announces-steps-to-address-increases-in-meat-prices
“Exceptional Joe” managed to drive down gas prices. Let’s hope he can do the same with beef and meat prices.
The Exceptional Imbecile says
Damn right about gas being so cheap right now. After I fill my car and trash cans I just let the nozzle spew like a fucking waterfall. I don’t give a shit, I just act like a democrat spending another person’s money. I can’t wait until beef prices fall. I’m going to buy a shitload of Big Macs and flush them down the shitter. Thank you Cabbage-In-Chief. FJB
John P. Mallamo says
Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms., Bob
Sir, Ma’am
Happy New Year.
A few thoughts for your consideration. First to your declaration about “Exceptional Joe” no doubt he is, but not in a positive sense. It seems that he bumbles through the day and bungles everything that he touches. The real tragedy is that he depends on people, like you, to shill his failures as success and provide a false hope to people who cannot help themselves out of their situations.
Now to your comments on reducing the price of gas and beef. First lets review previous examples of government intervention into markets. Recall a few years ago that Maryland deregulated utilities. The three components of the electric utilities, production, distribution and wheeling were separated. As part of the deal, the utility agreed to a reduced rate structure for consumers. Consumers paid an artificially low rate for electricity for a fixed period of time. At the end of the period, rates were returned to market. Consumers were faced with rates significantly higher. That is fact, and was caused by the state legislature. Shortly after that there was a natural gas shortage, about the same time that Maryland utilities were allowed to purchase forward contracts for electricity, that caused another increase in rates. Additionally look at the state of California. California deregulated about the same time as Maryland. They did not allow forward contracts for electricity. Electricity was purchased on the spot market. When temperatures rose in California unexpectedly, there was no electricity to purchase, except on the spot market. The only company that supplied electricity was ENRON, at highly inflated prices. Also consider the country of Venezuela. Gasoline was heavily subsidized, until the subsidy became too costly. Now, there is a shortage of gasoline, and about every other consumer stable. Poor management by government. Now did President Biden really reduce the price of gasoline. Not really, last year a gallon of gasoline was about $2.17. Now about $1 higher. Cause, reduced supply, result demand pull inflation.
On to the price of beef. Two factors of inflation, cost push, demand pull. Beef prices are fixed in the open market. Cattle are a commodity. Price of beef varies on a daily basis. Ranchers sell contracts for delivery in the future, to anybody who wants to buy a contract. On the given day, cattle are delivered to the buyer, usually a processor. At the processors, cattle are killed and butchered, and sent out to retailers or wholesalers, who also have contracts for delivery. The question is how to reduce the cost of beef. Pay ranchers less? Pay workers on the processing floor less? Demand that wholesalers and retailers charge less? Reduce consumption? And if any of the individual groups agree to accept less, how long will that last and what will happen next. Obviously some simplifications.
I should believe that before you speak up for anymore of this silliness, you would do more research on the topic, to avoid looking foolish.

John, there you go again picking on ‘My Hero’ (Exceptional Joe”).
Apparently, in the meat industry, 4 large corporations control 80% of the market. Biden’s plan to increase competition in the meat industry sounds like a good idea to me. I agree with the President when he said, “Capitalism without competition isn’t capitalism — it’s exploitation,” The simple fact is more competition works out to lower prices and that’s a good thing.
I thoroughly enjoy reading your opposing POVs on things. Keep them coming in 2022.
Have a safe and prosperous New Year!
Bob says
John,
P.S. go F yourself. I’m going to be taking a moment of silence tomorrow. I’ll probably do it while I’m on my knees at the Chesapeake House restroom
SoulCrusher says
A multitude of businesses have shut down during the fake pandemic because of Democratic idiocy. To cause harm to the few left standing is not the answer. Biden is a moron and he is now attempting to prevent food from getting on the shelves due to inflation brought on by HIS disaster of an economic plan. Biden has been the worst President in my lifetime, possible the worst ever. Anyone who aligns themselves with the Democratic “Not See” Party and Biden’s Administration is either ignorant, a moron or a traitor. Which one are you?
Bob says
Soul Crusher,
While I do usually have fundamental disagreements with you, I suffered truly during this pandemic when my pet store was shut down. I couldn’t find a gerbil anywhere. I was going through much emotional stress that made me cry while jerking off.
Jouh P. Mallamo says
Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms., Bob,
Sir, Ma’am,
Lets just review your answer.
First to the consolidation of the meat processing industry. When a seemingly small number of corporations consolidate in the market, they may enjoy an enormous economy of scale. That alone allows them to achieve efficiencies and offer lower prices. Additionally, within the industry itself, there is a massive capital requirement for those efficient operations. It would appear that the meat processing industry is not sufficiently lucrative to lure private investment to achieve the economy of scale or efficient operations of a new competitor. I doubt seriously that President Biden is going to provide funding to a new competitor. More likely he will merely complain, and give people a false hope of a better outcome. Or just stir up divisiveness within the consumer base adversely affected by his policies. Finally, if you or anyone else has evidence of anticompetitive practices in the industry, please do advise the State Attorney General.
Second, competition does not portend lower prices. If could be that there is some other tangible benefit to competition. More variety, better quality, more availability. Lower prices may result, but only when there is cost margin that can be reduced. Do some research and let us know whether there is room for lower prices within the structure of the industry. Or if alternatively we are all well served by the industry
Finally, regarding your statement that I or anybody else is “picking on” your hero “Exceptional Joe” Time to remove the blinders. President Biden is failing in his policies, and quite obviously in his mental abilities. Pushing him in front of the public, where he stumbles, and looks foolish, is uncommonly cruel. Time to let the man retire to his basement permanently.
THNX

Bob says
John,
Couch things in whatever terms you like. Complicate the discussion to your heart’s content, but the bottom line is ‘competition’ lowers prices. It’s just basic economics.
BTW, If we let “My Hero” retire to the basement, who do you feel would be a good replacement?
Bob says
Mallamo,
I just got back from the meat processing plant, better known as the men’s room at the Chesapeake House. I’ll tell you what, despite me being scum waiting for the next stimulus check, I was able to barter my services to this older gentleman named Raunchy Randy. After a slight salty taste being the byproduct our come to agreement barter, I received a slightly used gerbil named Tunnel Rat. I’ll tell you that if we had this gerbil on our side during the war in Vietnam, it would have been a game changer. I’m currently role playing as a NVA soldier and Tunnel Rat is fighting this commie’s dark tunnel with all his might. -Bob Out

John,
Thought you might be interested in Senator Jon Tester’s take on Biden’s plan to reduce the cost of meat
https://www.msnbc.com/the-last-word/watch/biden-unveils-plan-aimed-at-reducing-the-cost-of-meat-130231877898
Apparently, Tester and Republican Senator Chuck Grassley have been working on some bipartisan legislation to increase competition and market fairness for family farmers and ranchers.
Also, Tester & Grassley are working with Senator Rounds ( R- S.,D) on another bill (Meat Packing Special Investigator Act) to address anti competitive practices in the meat and poultry industries and enforce our nation’s antitrust laws.
Just maybe. some good might come out of “Exceptional Joe’s” efforts to reduce meat costs. Let’s hope!

But what I really care about is scoring some man meat. WhatMattersisBlue, are you up for the Bob challenge??? I’ll give you a free gerbil
John P. Mallamo says
Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms., Bob
Sir, Ma’am
I have no doubt that you believe the spin put out by the Biden Administration on how large corporations are the cause of all the evils in the meat processing business. That administration is desperately trying to salvage their ratings, and what easier way than to pander to a populace story about the evils of large corporations, particularly when attempting to sell a socialist plan for the country.
As to you and your economic wisdom, please explain how farmers will get paid more for cattle, pork or poultry, workers will get paid more for working in the meat packing industry, new plants will pay the same for all other components of the industry, and somehow the consumer will pay less for the end product. Competition? Hardly. This plan is not about infusing competition into market, it is about infusing government into the market. Classic socialism. I would offer that no market does well with government in the mix.
Please do explain how the new starts will sell on a national basis, or will it only be local or regional? And do explain how much it will cost to generate whatever savings are accrued. And please do explain how government funding will affect private investment into the industry. I believe that you will find that the savings will be illusory, and the cost greater than anticipated, and private capital will dry up. Further, cattle, pork and poultry commodity market will be roiled disastrously. As to a special investigation into anticompetitive practices, anti-trust violations. Do you have any specifics? Or maybe this is just a witch hunt?
Consider the current mess with medicine and the COVID experience. Test kits not available. Government purchasing did not seem to work out there. Medical remedies for COVID, not available. Another government purchasing debacle.
Consider also federal government intervention into energy. Solyndra? Remember them? Do tell, what happened there. Wind power? We discussed the Houston experience last year about this time.
Sir, Ma’am I believe that the Biden Administration is on a fools errand and you are naïve in your belief that the government is here to help. Biden et al do depend on shills to sell their product. Perhaps you would do well to think carefully about your support for foolishness.

SoulCrusher says
The government and the Democratic Traitors Against America created the supposed anti-trust violations when they shut everything down and crippled the other meat processing plants. As usual, the Democracy of idiots and thieves complains about the situation they created and demands more government intervention to combat the problem they created. Notice I used the term “combat”. This is because they are warring against the United States and its citizens. The government can not give itself a power or authority that was not ordained, yet they have done this over and over in what I like to call mass fraud, war and treason against the United States. Any moron can see that the bureaucracy has over stepped its bounds, yet again, on behalf of the Democratic “Not See” Party and the idiots that accept their treasonous rules and regulations. WE THE PEOPLE must reclaim what is ours and put an end to the fictional Democracy of idiots and thieves. I believe the media must be put in their place as well and every FAKE story they print must cost them dearly. This is an effort involving politicians, the bureaucracy and the Democratic “Not See” Party to destroy this country and usher in the new world order. It is what it is and we all have to realize that the “Not See” movement must be destroyed. All this “wokeness” must be dismantled and destroyed. The media must get their act together and stop reporting the false news of the day and get politics out of the news. Finally, the idiots whom have orchestrated this TREASON must either go to jail or be executed for TREASON. That is the only way forward whether anyone likes it or not. As for the violent crime in this State and others, you must violently apprehend the perpetrators to the point of beating them half to death or killing them and if they survive lock them up for a VERY long time. This is the only way you put down this menace and police are the ONLY authority to do this. There should be no National Guard intervention as Martial Law is prohibited. You see, the government wants you to give them your consent to break the Constitutional Law that constrains them so they can enslave us. It must not be allowed and Joe Biden needs to go fuck himself.
SoulCrusher says
Just for the record, everyone has to realize that most of the murders in Baltimore City are caused by the gang war that is currently under way. The BGF and the Bloods are fighting over territory. The “root cause” of ALL of this is the drug war and the unconstitutional drug laws. Legalize everything and regulate it, as this is what the government is supposed to do. There is no commerce in prohibition and the traitor government should’ve realized this from the failed alcohol prohibition of the past. The government has created all the problems because the government is the problem. Make the government lawful and watch everything else fall into place. If the gangs no longer profit from the supposed illegal substances, then they will go out of business…

I understand the fear that Jimmy Carter feels for our democracy. The times we live in are scary and getting scarier with each passing day. It’s hard for me to fully comprehend the possibility that my country, the United States of America, might be on the brink of some terrible ‘civil conflict’, or even a full-fledged ‘civil war’. I want to believe this is an exaggeration that couldn’t possibly happen, but I’m not so sure, anymore. We have to step back from the hate that consumes us before it’s too late.
Urkidding says
Hi Bob,
I share your concern. I saw just yesterday CNN’s Chris Cillizza has opened his eyes to the shaming his network and the left has been doing to those infected with covid. Combined with all the other vitriol spewed from the left… destroying cities (Portland, OR), looting and rioting (most cities in 2020), illegal seizure of personal property (CHAZ), crime waves (wake up and see how Democratic DAs are encouraging crime), war on wealth (an all time favorite), class division (see war on wealth), race division (Obama set back race relations 50 years with his divisive tones and rhetoric), attempted assassinations (Scalise), and every other conceivable division you can imagine…
Combined with a toleration and celebration of pictures of not-so-funny comediennes holding decapitated heads of presidents (whatever her name was), declaring people deplorable (Hillary, the irony), creating hoaxes to frame politicians (some still believe the Russian story), enabling and colluding with undocumented citizens to disrupt elections (NY Democrats wants illegals to vote), and – honestly – every manifestation of traitorous behavior… it tears us apart.
I am not confident the steady attack on religious institutions (gathering for sports is okay, but worship, not so…) and personal freedoms (oh boy…) will abate any time too soon from the left. The Democrats certainly showed their hands in this last election. The program (the For the People bill, laughable on so many grounds…) they put together and attempted to hammer through against the American people is very revealing.
I said it before and will repeat it here… the left sees Orwell’s 1984 as a manual, not a warning. From censorship to everything else… the left has been ushering this debacle for a long time. And I feel confident that left is celebrating this demise.
Urkidding says
Hi again, Bob… seems your exceptional leader poured a little fuel into the fire today… as you were saying, and again I agree, I fear for the future.
Bob says
Urkidding,
Do you believe the 2020 election was stolen from Trump?
Urkidding says
Nope. I do think there were irregularities that deserved a thorough investigation, though. The absence of such things creates an environment in which irrational minds tend to do irrational things. Like, what we saw a year ago.
The entire conspiracy laden aspect to covid could disappear… except when one party insists on shuttering any attempt to investigate its origins… it builds fears and unknowns.
Look, in either case an investigation could result in the same outcomes, but at least a politicized and weaponized DOJ could say they did ‘something’, even if confirming instructions of what to find. You know, like the time Eric Holder investigated himself and found he did nothing wrong. Okay… corrupt, of course… he was in the Obama admin. At least an investigation was held.
It’s hard for folks like me to see how or why Democrats who invested tens of millions of dollars into a dossier they knew was faked, to attempt to impeach a president on unfounded claims and evidence (though, that freak Adam Schiff kept saying he had it); but then look at a global pandemic that has disrupted the lives of the ENTIRE PLANET and squash an investigation into its origins and ‘nothing to see here…’ C’mon man!
What happened that day was horrible and should not be repeated. However, to simply condemn it and use as a re-election tool in the midterms, in face of the pathetic track record the Democrats have been building… again, I ask… how do you expect irrational minds to react to irrational decision-making?
I don’t expect you to answer these questions any more or less than anything else I’ve asked. You are proven to be a shallow thinker, one who doesn’t read past the headlines, and who otherwise will not or cannot generate an argument.
The Democrats are running this country into the ground… had to pick up supplies for my business yesterday… the news was grim. If you think things are bad right now with inflation, etc., just wait a few more weeks – you ain’t seen nothing yet. If they hope I – as an unaffiliated voter – will select their candidates while endorsing and double downing these policies putting the hurt on people… think again. January 6th was terrible, that was one day… one unarmed person died at the hands of the police… it has not repeated. Daily I’m being reminded how stupid this administration is and how its policies are trying to run me out of business. Who am I inclined to support?
Open Your Eyes says
The Democrats have proven that they have moved “all in” in their attempt to prevent former President Trump from running again. Even at the cost of forever debasing themselves. First you had Adam Schiff with his impeachment strategy. He knowingly provided false information to fuel a criminal complaint (a crime) which ultimately obstructed due process and justice (a crime). Why will the Justice Department not entertain this? Then you had January 6th. Did Mr. Trump encourage his supporters to gi to the Capitol and attempt to be heard. Yes. Is there any written or audio account where Mr. Trump directed his supporters to storm the building? If so present it. Did Mr Trump watch the events on television to monitor the actions of his supporters to ascertain the level of his support? Yes, not a crime. The federal authorities have spent millions of dollars to make a case against Mr. Trump and ignored and declined to investigate and prosecute participants in countless other political riots perpetrated by Democrats, liberals, Antifa, and BLM resulting in the destruction of government and personal property, 2000 police officers being assaulted and injured, billions of dollars in damage and at least 20 plus deaths. Does anyone beside me see the hypocrisy here? The most heinous abuse of justice in history was the actions of the Democratic run Justice Department and the upper level management of the Capitol Police. Unarmed Ashli Babbitt,a protester, was shot to death by Capital Police Lt. Michael Byrd. Miss Abbitt was on the other side of a barrier which she would have had to climb up and over before making contact with Lt. Byrd. Lt. Byrd attempted to justify this shooting by saying “it was a last resort”. Video accounts confirmed that Miss Abbitt was not a threat. The shooting was inconsistent with any use of force procedures in any police department in the country. It was clearly an unnecessary bad shoot in the eyes of any professional police officer. Lt. Byrd was not only cleared by a partisan Democratic Justice Dept. siting “insufficient evidence” to support a violation of the civil rights law. Lt. Byrd was also cleared of ALL improper actions by the Capitol Police. It is obvious that an incident with the severity and consequences of the Babbitt would very much muddy the water in their case against Me Trump and the actions of a partisan Democratic government. In short she was sacrificed. In the eyes of the Democratic machine her death was justified to facilitate their needs . A write off. You talk about a bunch of low self serving bastards who will resort to anything to accomplish their goals. I give you the new Democratic Party I won’t even go in to promoting and weaponizing race to accomplish their goals. Pathetic! Sadly they do what they want, when they want, with no regard for right or wrong, because they can. As a person of faith I believe that one day these people will have to answer for their actions.
Bob says
OYE,
Let me get this straight. I’m going to have to add the “upper level management of the Capitol Police’ to your growing list of enemies, which already Includes Democrats, liberals, antifa, BLM, Main Stream Media. And now, you even prepared to turn your back on the Blue and make Ashli Babbitt a martyr. She wasn’t a martyr. She was a rioter trying to climb through the broken window of a barricaded door.
Then you end your post saying the “new Democratic party are a “bunch of low self serving bastards”. And finalize it with you are a “person of faith” and you believe that your God will hold them accountable and they’ll have to “answer for their actions. Wow! Here’s hoping you feel better today and have a more positive outlook on things.
Bob says
Urkidding,
What you call “irregularities” are and will continue to be looked at on an ongoing basis. So far the courts have dismissed just about every case of voting fraud or other irregularities. I expect, when all the investigations are completed they won’t find much.
Your assertion that Democrats insist on “shuttering” any attempt to determine the origins of Covid is straight out wrong. The truth of the matter is the Republican party bears the most responsibility for the propagation of Covid “fears and unknowns” We might never have the definitive answer concerning the origins of the Covid virus, as the Chinese aren’t likely to share that information with us. Possibly, it was an accidental lab-leak which spread to animals in the Wuhan market and then to the rest of the world.
Special counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Russian probe hasn’t yielded much of anything. Just because there are some credibility issues with the Steele Dossier that doesn’t mean Trump and/or some of his 2016 Campaign officials weren’t involved with the Russians.
Face it. No one did a better job a better job of ‘politicizing and weaponizing’ the DOJ than Bill Barr. It’s reassuring to know that we now have Merrick Garland leading the Department of Justice.
What happened on Jan 6th is far beyond “horrible”. It was an INSURRECTION. It was an attempt to undermine our democracy and overthrow our government. Donald Trump committed the crime of sedition and hopefully he will be held accountable.
Finally, give us all a break and GET OVER YOURSELF! BTW, what kind of business do you own?
Urkidding says
Hey Bob,
Won’t find much in terms of fraud… so answer me this… using your stated standard on Russian collusion… just because there are credibility issues with claims of fraud doesn’t mean fraud wasn’t committed, does it? You don’t have to answer that… the lefties talking from both sides of their mouths is pretty standard, we call it a double standard.
I would agree the Dems were eager to look into covid’s origins in the spring… then as revelations of Fauci’s lies began to pile up it became unpopular. Look up recordings of Fauci testifying under oath that gain of function research was funded and then not, or was it? He has argued both… and taking the Chinese scientists’ words at face value because he trusts them. Might want to update your info here. Hint, skip the media edits of his comments and watch it for yourself… I found it revealing. Better reading and viewing, look up what the esteemed Dr Fauci did when HIV was still in its early days… he should be in jail.
Credibility issues with the dossier… well, fraudulently put together does amount to some level of ‘credibility issue’ for certain. This line you wrote is precious, “doesn’t mean Trump and/or some of his 2016 Campaign officials weren’t involved with the Russians”. Let me re-word that for you: ‘Just because evidence of something does not exist, doesn’t mean it doesn’t.’ That’s funny.
Then you follow up with this one: “Face it. No one did a better job a better job of ‘politicizing and weaponizing’ the DOJ than Bill Barr. It’s reassuring to know that we now have Merrick Garland leading the Department of Justice.”
My goodness… so circulating a memo telling DOJ attorneys how to target political opposition with fantasy crimes is not weaponizing, or politicizing? What planet do you live on?
To his credit, Merrick Garland testified he did not know about this… so that either makes him a liar – since the attorneys said he knew – OR it makes him incompetent. Which is it?
Do you really find it reassuring that an incompetent or liar (or both) is the attorney general?
Okay… it was insurrection. There were hundreds of arrests made, but not a single charge filed for insurrection. Why not? If that was the crime, why not the charge?
“Finally, give us all a break and GET OVER YOURSELF!” – good advice for you to follow.
What business am I in? Not going to answer that. This is a silly game we have played… you ask questions and I answer. I ask questions, you ask more… that’s impolite where I come from.
Get over myself… all caps no less. Bob, here is your problem with me. You want in the worst way for me to be some Fox News gulping, Trump worshipper; but I’m not. You want to corner me into narrow thinking, but that takes an intellectual argument itself.
You come at us with links to mainstream media outlets who do the thinking for you. When you do find a source somewhat off the beaten path you prove you never read past the headline. When asked to formulate an argument for something ‘necessary’ from your own intellectual experience, you ignore. When trying to argue – even in this line – you simply repeat the lines of these idiots you admire.
I’m not special, I just woke up. I can clearly see what the Democrats and Republicans are doing, or mostly not doing. You cling to people out of ideological loyalty… honestly, that is the LOWEST level of thinking that exists.
Don’t wear that label well? Prove me wrong. Argue something intellectual not based in your puppet master’s words or inspired by some biased news article. It is easy, just prove me wrong here. Make an argument.
Here are some helpful questions to exercise:
1. What does accountability – within the boundaries of Article 3 of the Constitution – of the Supreme Court mean?
2. Cite 1, 3, or 5 decided cases of the SCOUTUS from the previous session, from memory; to justify major overhauls or adjustments to the Court’s composition.
3. Does actual evidence have to exist to support moving forward with legal proceedings?
4. Does an attorney general investigating himself for criminal activity amount to some level of corruption?
5. The Constitution originally designed a republic that balanced the interests of the federal government under the executive, the states under the upper house, and the people under the lower house. Has the 17th Amendment strengthened or weakened the republic by removing the states from this balance of power?
These are all softball pitches you should be able to hit way past the fence… pick one. Be brave. Use that brain. And sorry, CNN cannot help you on this one. I’d wait for your response, but I know you cannot do it. Enjoy your day.

Urkidding,
Can you provide a link to Dr. Fauci comments that you found “revealing”? Also, what were his early comments regarding HIV?
Bob says
Urkidding,
Reference your below re-wording of a sentence from a previous post of mine:
‘Let me re-word that for you: ‘Just because evidence of something does not exist, doesn’t mean it doesn’t.’
You love that triple-negative stuff. Don’t you? I understand when the facts don’t fit your scenario, you have to rely on “mudding the water”
Bob says
Urkiddng,
In a previous post you said the following:
“My goodness… so circulating a memo telling DOJ attorneys how to target political opposition with fantasy crimes is not weaponizing, or politicizing? What planet do you live on? To his credit, Merrick Garland testified he did not know about this… so that either makes him a liar – since the attorneys said he knew – OR it makes him incompetent. Which is it?”
What memo are you referring to? Who wrote the memo. What kind of fantasy crimes? Any additional information you can provide in this regards is appreciated.
Bob says
Urkiding, In a previous post you wrote:

Urkidding, It’s a good thing you “just woke up”. I know you probably won’t believe me, when I say the last thing I want to do is ‘corner you into narrow thinking’. I’m not inclined, nor am I smart enough, to corner you into anything. The only advice I can offer is you should try not to be so defensive. Let’s try and look any of our future posts as ‘discussions’ not ‘arguments’. It’s worth a shot.
Open Your Eyes says
Bob, first of all, you feel that “I have turned my back on the blue” for calling out which I believe was improper conduct which resulted in the unnecessary death of a person. Unlike the Democrats, I even as a proud career police officer, will not rationalize or attempt to justify improper behavior of anyone, including one of my own, for political or partisan reasons. Are you justifying the shooting of Miss Babbitt? That’s right a partisan DOJ did. I got an idea Bob, if one day an unarmed intruder is attempting to climb through the window of your home just shoot him while he is standing outside of your window. Let me know how that works out for you. I am not trying to make a martyr out of anyone. Unlike the Democrats I feel that the concept of right and wrong and the implementation of fair justice far supersedes politics. By the way. Everyday that the man upstairs gives me is a blessing. Thanks for the well wishes.
Bob says
OYE,
Below link is an interview of Lt. Michael Byrd conducted by Lester Holt in August on the shooting of Babbitt:
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/officer-who-shot-ashli-babbitt-during-capitol-riot-breaks-silence-n1277736
I agree with the findings of the investigations conducted by Justice Department and the Capitol Police.
SoulCrusher says
You would agree with the findings of a partisan investigation involving the clearing of an officer who unjustly shot a WOMAN climbing thru a window with no weapon. You’re a complete partisan tool. I suppose you still think Trump colluded with Russia as well. There was no immediate threat Byrd is a murderer. However, it is OK because the Democratic MURDERERS of Americans say it is all right. You really are a disgusting piece of shit…
Open Your Eyes says
This just reinforces my suspicion that your main objective is to seek pleasure by being an internet antagonist. You may want to go back and read some of your prior posts regarding the Babbitt shooting incident. You are truly unique individual Mr. Bob. I realize you need this forum to reinforce several of your inadequacies but while doing so please try not to be a hypocrite. On my last post I presented a scenario based on an unarmed intruder who you shoot outside of your home on the believe that the person was going to enter and harm you. Why don’t you apply the findings of a “very unbiased” DOJ and the findings of the Capitol Police Department and roll the dice to see how it works out for you. Your last name would not happen to be Fauci would it? Have a good weekend sir.
Bob says
OYE,
Whenever you decide you would like some help with “your inadequacies”, let me know. I’m sure I can fix you right up.
Stay safe!

Respectfully Mr. Carter was arguably one of the worst Presidents in the history of our country. At least until 2020. A couple of quick questions. Who was the party of slavery? Which party has politically weaponized division and race for political gain? This is not a new strategy. It has been utilized for some time now. Care to guess by who? Why now are those who have perpetuated these tactics of division, hate, and lack of accountability now questioning why the country could possibly be moving in such a negative direction? How does the saying go? “ We reap what we sow“ I really don’t think it is too late if we demand accountability for everyone, all of the time, and not deviate from it for any political or personal reasons. Most importantly the concept of CCT (critical civility theory) should be taught and utilized by all.

“Trump did not want to tweet ‘stay peaceful’ during January 6 riot, key former aide says”
https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/06/politics/trump-tweet-january-6/index.html
It’s unthinkable that Trump was reluctant to include “stay peaceful” in his tweet and he even enjoyed watching live TV coverage of the violence at the Capitol on Jan 6 2021.
Open Your Eyes says
Didn’t we learn anything about jumping to conclusions from the Rittenhouse trial and outcome? There we go again with the presumption of guilt before the final disposition. In a fair and impartial trial or hearing the motives of all witnesses should be considered. Are you related to Liz Cheney? I know it is not personal to either of you. Lol.
Bob says
Actually, I hope this story on Trump doesn’t pan out. I want to believe that not even “The Donald” could be that despicable.
Speaking of Liz Cheney. Did you notice that her father (Dick Cheney) accompanied her today to the Jan 6th moment of silence. Apparently, they were the only 2 Republicans in attendance.
SoulCrusher says
That is because both Cheney’s are reprehensible advocates of the “Not See” Party that runs the bureaucracy. I didn’t like Dick Cheney when he was VP and I don’t like him now. His daughter is a RINO and a traitor whom wishes to usher in the ways of the New World Order and enslave ALL Americans. I think it shows the exact opposite of what you intended it to show when those two treasonous scumbags were the ONLY Republicans in attendance, but I would like to remind everyone that we shouldn’t be R’s or D’s. We are Americans and both sides of the aisle are trying to limit freedom and institute “Not See”ism…
Urkidding says
Hi Bob,
Well, the triple negative was mocking your absurd standard… stop making absurd statements and I will stop falling in love with them… as I said previously, Bob, you are nothing more than a prole. And, no, I will not do your homework. I invest many hours of time looking into events and developments around me. I prefer to watch and listen to briefings, hearings, etc., myself; and not what a bunch of editors want me to hear. I will watch a session where Fauci flat out lies, and see reference to the hearing in the evening news; but, surprise… the glaring omission is ‘not’ there. I’d love to say I’m surprised.
Several posts and not an answer to one of my questions. As I suspected… a useful idiot.
Bob says
Urkidding, I’m curious about something. Are you fixated on George Orwell’s book,1984? It’s almost like that book is your personal Bible.
SoulCrusher says

Hello everyone. I took a break from the Dagger from Saturday at 1/8 at approximately 5 PM to relax and spend quality time with my wife, grandchildren, and to watch football. Very enjoyable. Today after the grandkids left and most football games were over and things settled down I checked out the Dagger to see what I missed. My last posting contained some observations that I had made regarding an insecurity complex that I thought Bob might be exhibiting. To me he seems to want to address some feelings of intellectual inadequacy by constantly trying to be what is known as a “one upper”. Case in point he spent approximately 4 1/2 hours Saturday attempting to counter poster “UrKidding” who appears to be a lot sharper than he is. Over that period he made several efforts to counter him. I personally would not allow my own insecurities to consume me but that is me. God only knows how insecure Bob gets when he feels the need to respond and come out on top with a really smart guy the likes of Mr. Mallamo a guy who appears to be highly intelligent and on point. Somehow he seems to obtain some type of vicarious gratification from being a Dagger antagonist. Possibly it satisfies his need to make people think he is highly intelligent. Maybe it goes back a long time. Maybe he was the last one to be picked for a team during recess. Maybe kids used to call him names. Maybe he never won a spelling bee. Whatever the case he like UrKidding , SoulCrusher, Blue, myself and many others make the Dagger very entertaining. For the record I think Bob is a reasonably intelligent guy. Everyone have a good night and God bless us, everyone.
Bob says
OYE, you get easier & easier by the day and your button gets bigger & bigger. You always make me laugh. Do I haunt your dreams?. Sleep tight!. Perhaps the answer to your Bob-fixation is therapy.

“Opinion | It’s Time to Amend the Constitution”
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/01/08/scalia-was-right-make-amending-the-constitution-easier-526780
Unless & until we amend our broken Constitutional amendment process and fix the dysfunctional legislative (especially the Senate) branch of our government we’re stuck. Although I’m not a fan of former Supreme Court Justice Anthony Scalia (too originalist & too conservative for me), I agree with his view that the amendment process is too difficult. Our country needs to get off its duff and move forward.
Urkidding says
Hi Bob,
I’ll play.
Nice article… are you suggesting the filibuster be constitutionally banned? You understand it is not in Article 1, right? If you didn’t know, we’re done.
I agree fully, and rather than tackling the SCOTUS first… I say we limit congressional terms and repeal the 17th. You get 3 terms in the House and 2 in the Senate. That gives a politician up to 18 years to do nothing. Also, it would be good to go hand in hand with the suggested 18 year term limit on the SCOTUS. In other words, you could certainly make those appointments guess work all around.
I would actually enjoy a system knowing a senator had realistic hope of only voting for – at most – 1 or maybe 3 appointments.
Forward, I agree also. We need to address keeping speech free, ending the Democrats desire to include undocumented foreign voting, and an impeachment process for sitting members of congress who flagrantly lie, and many other abuses we see from the left.
Bob says
No, I’m not suggesting the filibuster be constitutionally banned. And, yes, I realize the article did not say anything about the legislative branch. I only included that because it is so important. The Senate must reform its own rules, practices and policies. Do you agree?
Urkidding says
What the senate chooses to do is up to them. My level of agreement only extends to the two morons representing this state. I vote against them every chance I get. Cardin means well, I think, but has virtually no ideas of his own. Van Hollen is a trained monkey, but that might be insulting to monkeys. I’d dummy puppet, but I fear I’d offend dummy puppets also.
The left is crying and screaming Trump got to appoint and affirm 3 SCOTUS justices… go ask Harry Reid how that nuclear option aged. Had they left the long-tested, tried and true procedures alone we would not be here. Or, at the very least reached bipartisan agreement. That hissy fit cost them big time. This one will also. You’d think on the eve of midterms when they are likely to be relegated to the widest margin of minority in recent memory, they’d be more likely to preserve the tools the minority has to keep power balanced. Unless…
Did you read the “For the People Bill”? If not, you should. It reads like a document crafted by people who never intend to give up power – it is dictatorship cloaked in colloquial democracy-esque language. Clearly the lesson handed to them by Harry didn’t get absorbed, or they never plan to give up power again. Think about that one.
Right now the strength of the left can be found rooted in censorship, oppression, bullying, power lust, division, and pretty much an all-out war on freedoms. My frequent references to Orwell should make more sense now… you call it fixation, I call it awake.
Tell me Bob… what is your opinion on congressional term limits?
Bob says
I believe term limits for both Congress and the SCOTUS would be a good thing.
Bob says
Do you think Mitch McConnell was right to block President Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme court?
SoulCrusher says
If we judge Merrick Garland by his running the DOJ as a partisan treason machine, we now know that McConnell did the right thing. Garland has proven he has no business being in law or government. Garland being absent from SCOTUS is probably going to be one of McConnell’s most shining accomplishments…
Bob says
Urkidding, Do you believe the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) should be passed and added to the Constitution?
Bob says
Urkidding, That’s interesting you mentioned the “For The People Act of 2021”. A couple of weeks ago I started to read up a bit on it. What made that difficult is the bill is nearly 800 pages. Then I happened to stumble on the following link which contained a great guide to make reading process a little easier:
https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/policy-solutions/annotated-guide-people-act-2021#t1-sa
Take a look. Maybe you can point out more directly some of the parts bill that you find particularly disturbing.
SoulCrusher says
The Equal Rights Amendment would be an unconstitutional Amendment because the Federal Government wasn’t ordained the power to Federalize Elections. The government can not give itself a power or authority that was not ordained to it. That would be treason…

Open Your Eyes says
Does anyone feel that Justice Sotomayor should consider recusing herself from any decision making regarding Covid-19 matters due to her obvious lack of statistical knowledge of the subject matter. She recently cited information and statistics in a public statement which were blatantly incorrect. If she does not see the need to recuse herself shouldn’t she make an on the record correction to restore public confidence in her future decision making. Whether intentional or not her statements did seem to support the government’s pro-vaccination narrative/arguments which have yet to be addressed in the court. Doesn’t seem to pass the smell test. Hopefully she was just misinformed.
Open Your Eyes says
I’m sorry I said …..have not been addressed ….. I meant to say fully addressed and a decision rendered. My apologies
Urkidding says
Hi Bob,
Garland’s nomination. No, it should have been blocked the way it was. He had the votes to defeat the nomination and should have gone that route. Granted it would have been a waste of time and effort, but at least it would have been a good faith effort to block who – as pointed out – we now know would have been a DISASTER on the SCOTUS.
The ERA. I do not believe it ‘should’ be added since we already have the 14th. Having said that, however, it ‘ought’ to added to ensure fairness of opportunity to all. I’m not confident, though, that the increasingly nonbinary left cannot support it any longer.
The “For the People Bill”, it is not an act until it passes, which it has not. Calling it an act before it qualifies is a deceptive tool. What am I opposed to in it?
First, same day registration. This provision reeks out loud of corruption on a biblical scale. There is no defense for it. It creates a level of confusion that frankly no system can prevent from occurring. Further it would take – I suspect – months to sort it all out, and as we’ve seen we need to rush to certify ballots. Not good.
Second, all the commissions recommend even splits of bipartisan representation – what about third, fourth, fifth parties? Why this legislative attempt to trim out third party voices? What are they afraid of? Why silence the fastest growing affiliations in the country? Oh, that might be why… corrupt.
Third, the voting by mail. Hands down the stupidest idea conceived. Patrons are discouraged from sending cash in the mail… but the vote? Either promote cash transactions by mail or end the push to vote by mail. Cannot talk out of both sides of your mouth and expect to be taken seriously.
Okay, your turn…
You seem to feel Biden is an exceptional president. Okay, he is approaching a year in office. Please list the top five things he has done to benefit all Americans. Not select groups, which is plenty; all of us.
Bob says
Urkidding,
Let me make a suggestion. Don’t couch your questions with the likes of “list the top five things’ or “cite from memory 5 cases. What is this ‘5 thing’ of yours all about? It discourages responses to your questions.
With that said, I’m going to let you in on a secret about my use of the word “exceptional” for President Biden. However, you have to promise that you won’t tell OYE.
I believe the first time I used “exceptional” as a descriptor for President Biden (Uniter-in-Chief) was in the context of a comparison with his predecessor, the Divider-in-Chief. The truth be known. Compared to Trump, Mickey Mouse would be an exceptional President. Thereafter I changed it a bit and christened our President “Exceptional Joe”. I did this more to poke at OYE, than anything else. Remember, this is a secret. We don’t want to upset OYE and send him over the deep end.
🙂
Like I said before, Biden is not a miracle worker and it’s going to take some time to clean up the mess created by his predecessor.
Urkidding says
Hi Bob,
So your problem is the way I ask the questions… that is an old avoidance tactic, saw it used in speech and debate, and frankly doesn’t win points.
Since you asked… and I tend to answer your questions, unlike you toward mine…
I put a number to set a minimum for you, make it easy. If this current disaster in the White House is a vast improvement over the previous, then listing everything each and EVERY American is enjoying would be exhaustive. So, I just ask for the top 5.
As for the cases… again… the SCOTUS decides anywhere between 80-150 cases in each term. You made the claim they need reform. I sensed this extended from the hissy fit of the Kavanaugh debacle and the oral arguments over a recent abortion case. Since neither of those even move the needle on the need for reform, I gave you an opportunity to literally make the case for reform. I can readily accept and weigh an argument made with articulate reasoning based on decisions handed down, which would have been from the previous term. Thus, not needing an exhaustive argument citing between 80-150 cases, I made it simple to limit it to 5, or even 1 was my last request. For much needed reforms, in your eyes, this should be easy.
But, Bob… here you are trying to play the part of the intellectual… you are thinking by criticizing the question or even the grammar used in an online blog like this amounts to anything other than the obvious… avoidance and deflection. As I have said repeatedly here, Bob, I know Orwellian references scare you a bit, but you fit the description of a prole to the letter. He wrote: “However, the proles lead brutish, ignorant, animalistic lives, and lack both the energy and interest to revolt; most of them do not even understand that the Party is oppressing them.” Dude, you praise them for it.
Glad you brought up the uniter-in-chief moniker… that’s funny.
How does advocating a policy to dispense medication based on skin color unite the country?
How does pushing a memo to US attorneys with legal theories to accuse protesting parents of domestic terrorism unite?
How does embracing tax schemes to steal historic family assets (like farms) unite people?
How does making this country energy dependent draw us closer?
How does prolonging unemployment handouts to discourage people from working thereby creating shortages for basic consumer goods unite us?
Here you go, Bob… no top whatever to disincline you to answer… simple questions that should be softballs. Even better, answer these and defend my criticisms of the fascist voting bill called the “For the People Act”.
Bob says
Urkidding,
Your use of the word “fascist” to describe the Voting Right is a bit concerning. You’re beginning to sound like you-know-who and one of those is enough for any forum. On second thought of one those is one too many.
I believe same day registration is a positive thing. Twenty states, including Maryland, already have same day registration. It doesn’t create corruption or confusion. And it doesn’t create month long delays. Already in those states that permit it voters must generally provide proof of residency (e.g., utility bill, pay stub) and identity (e.g., driver’s license) at the time of registration. What it does do is that it makes it easier for people to vote and that’s a good thing.
There is a USA FactCheck of the either/or situation you try to lay out regarding mail in voting and mailing cash. You might want to check it out. I tried to include the link in a previous post. However, for some reason my earlier comment is “awaiting moderation. Maybe this post without the link will make it through.
Conflating mail in voting and mailing cash is just a distraction.
Urkidding says
Hi Bob,
I’ll begin with fact checkers… paid to promote ideologies… in other words, propaganda. You should study some of the follow up on these ‘fact checkers’. They are not what they appear to be. Look behind the curtain. [Are you equally suspicious to my Wizard of Oz reference?]
Saw a report last night about mail in voting, and the deep concern is securing the drop boxes. The opportunity for destroying ballots is ripe, and let us not kid ourselves… depending on the district the deed was done, there may not even be an investigation. Remains a ‘no’ from me.
To dismiss concerns like this as mere distraction only reinforces that one side is confident the results will always be favorable. I’m of the opinion that votes should not only be cast, but counted. I’m also of the belief the dead should not vote and you should only vote once. A friend in PA received seven ballots last year. Seven. He did the ‘right’ thing and turned the extras in to the election office, did everyone else that happened to? We will never know. Think about that.
The ‘ease’ of voting only obfuscates concerns over election confidence. Access to the ballot is easy. I’ve never had a problem casting my ballot – even absentee. Registering yes, I tried one time when I relocated to do so at a booth at a fair where the parties were registering voters. It happened to be a Democratic booth, and they refused to let me register as unaffiliated at their booth, would not even give me the form to file myself. Hint – you now know why I see the Democrats as I do. Hypocrites and corrupt.
Why are you concerned with the use of fascist? It fills the bill – perfectly. If the Democrats do not want to be called fascist, then stop this quest of making the US just like 1930s Germany. Get rid of censorship, stop dividing people, stop the assault on personal freedom, end the fear, disable the police state, etc. Pretty easy, really.
Here is an exhibit for this argument: “You’re beginning to sound like you-know-who and one of those is enough for any forum. On second thought of one those is one too many.”
What do you mean by this? He should be silenced? Not allowed to think as he does? Not allowed an opinion? The level of irony of being concerned about the use of the word fascist, while taking a fascist stance, is utterly staggering to comprehend.
Bob, one of you is not too much… 300 of you is not too much… see, I welcome varying perspectives and thoughts, no matter how flawed the logic or reasoning. I can tolerate your posts not because I agree with you, but I believe you have the fundamental right to express. I wish the left understood this. The left believes everyone has the right to agree with them. You are not upset with his posts, you are upset he doesn’t agree with you. Your statement proves it. If he is wrong – just simply prove it. This is what I keep saying to you… make an argument, stop this regurgitation of talking points. It is low level thinking. Simply supplying links with confirmation bias is not effective oration.
So you support voter ID? The left believes it to be racist, but you seem to feel it provides some level of confidence to same day registration/voting. I need that one explained.
Bob says
Urkidding,
Please point me toward this report you saw last night on mail-in voting and drop boxes?
Bob says
Urkidding,
I understand completely that you’re not very comfortable facts and the truth. Your preference seems to be right-wing propaganda and outright lies.
Bob says
Urkidding,
I’ll defer to you regarding what’s “behind the curtain”. Beings a resident, you are much more familiar with the rabbit hole that leads to Oz.

You have a “friend” in Pa that received 7 ballots and you go to a Democratic Booth at a fair and they refuse to register you as unaffiliated. Wow. you do have some bad luck. Are you sure you’re living right?

Good grief Bob… you can’t quit me any easier than you can that gerbil, huh?
I lost count how many replies you posted… wow. Rapid fire blanks.
At least you are now making this fun(ny).
Bob says
Urkidding,
Face it. A person with your type of “number thing”(e.g. 7 ballots) doesn’t lose count of anything. It’s just an attempt to bolster your shaky POV on things. We understand.
Bob says
Urkidding,
I believe the reason many conservatives, maybe you’re one them. are against the “For the People Act” is the fear of losing power and control. My reason for supporting the Act is simple. The Act insures that the will of the majority will prevail in our country.
SoulCrusher says
WE THE PEOPLE are against the proposed legislation because it does nothing to ensure the vote of WE THE PEOPLE. The legislation will allow for constant cheating and will let non citizens vote. Quite frankly, it does the opposite of what it promises and that is what the Democrats do. If a Democrat says they are going to do something, they will do the opposite. If a Democrat says they are going to prevent something, they will do exactly what they say they are going to prevent. You can’t trust the Democracy of idiots and thieves….
Urkidding says
Hi Bob,
My ideology leans toward the conservative, but that also depends on how you define the term.
Loss of control is not a high concern of mine. Further deterioration of the republic is. The Democrats’ desire to erode more layers of the republic is repugnant. You should really learn more about ‘democracy’ before embracing it.
Everything you post and say suggests to me that political science was not something you invested much time or effort in previously. May I suggest you study the ‘democratization’ the Democratic Party embraces, hint… look south of the US. Spend some valuable time learning about the dictatorships of Central and South America. Everything the Democrats are in love with have track records in the dictatorships of that region. I don’t share the opinion that would be good here.
I fear the loss of freedom more than ‘control’.
Bob says
Urkidding,
And I guess you’re the ‘expert’ on Democracy and political science. With more ‘experts’ like you our country would be in a real pickle.
Urkidding says
LOL, Bob… thank you for showing us what firing blanks looks like.
Bob says
That’s a good thing. I’m not a big fan of guns. The more blanks and less guns we have in America the safer we’ll be. 🙂
SoulCrusher says
Bob, your ideas and blind loyalty to a CCP Party sympathizer in disguise as a duly elected American President is disturbing. How can you even vaguely profess that the ideology you are following is good for America or the American people? Everything you guys want is illegal and unconstitutional that will bring about more chaos and hardship for Americans. The voting reform you morons keep mentioning does NOT do anything for the American people and the Federalization of the elections would be an act of verified treason. I suggest you turn in your swastika, hammer and your sickle for a good hardy helping of stars and bars…

Talk about the epitome of hypocrisy. Not too long ago Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and the Democrats seemed to be big proponents of the filibuster. This was because they needed it.

They are constantly trying to stack the deck and our President is their puppet.

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/01/11/how-the-senate-could-change-its-rules-filibuster-526865
The Democrats are undecided regarding a path forward for the Senate filibuster rule. We have to deal decisively with this critical issue. The Senate is non-functional. It’s broken. We can’t afford to ignore this reality any longer. We must get off our duffs and start moving forward.
Bob says
Whatever happens Tuesday regarding the “Voting Rights Act” and the filibuster the Senate needs an actual debate & vote. Every Senator, especially Manchin & Sinema, must be held accountable by history and their constituents for their vote.
What’s reassuring is the President has made it clear, if things don’t work out Tuesday, that’s not end. He will continue to work every day of his Presidency to ensure Voting Rights for all Americans.

I just watched a portion of a speech made by President Biden and it came to me. If you were to have watched one of the Hot Shots movies which aired in the early 90’s you would have seen a character “President Tug Benson”played by the late Lloyd Bridges. The similarities between the character President Benson and “Exceptional Joe” are really scary. It is very hard for me to believe that out of all the Democrats Mr. Biden was considered the best option. I urge everyone to watch the Hot Shots movies and check out the very frightening parallels. Sadly Hot Shots was a comedy. What is “Exceptional Joe’s” excuse?

This Supreme Court decision is not only wrong. It’s downright dangerous and will ensure that even more Americans will get Covid-19. This is what happens when you have partisan, unelected, unaccountable judges rendering decisions which they’re obviously unqualified to make. It’s a travesty of justice!
SoulCrusher says
No. The Supreme Court made a decision that was within Constitutional bounds. It is what it is and they swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. They actually made a correct decision, but that doesn’t mean they won’t betray that oath under other circumstances because they have done that before as well. The current group seems to be more in line with the Constitution than those of the recent past. Let’s hope it stays that way…
SoulCrusher says
You actually said ” This is what happens when you have partisan, unelected, unaccountable judges rendering decisions which they’re obviously unqualified to make”. Judges are NOT elected and if they had to face elections, that would make them political. Everything the Democracy of idiots wants to do is unconstitutional and does the exact opposite of what they say it is designed to do. The agenda of the current Democratic “Not See” Party has stalled and has failed. There is nothing exceptional about TRAITOR JOE or the Democratic Traitors Against America. It is what it is…
Open Your Eyes says
It is a “travesty of Justice” because it did not facilitate the Democrats attempt at a power grab. You get comments about uniformed Justices who were not qualified to render a decision regarding Covid-19 issues. Did anyone happen to see, read, or hear the blatantly incorrect comments about the Covid situation which were made by the very liberal minded Justice Sotomayor? You have been hearing about the elimination of the filibuster recently by the Democrats. In the not so distant past Democrats such as Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi; Chuck Schumer, and even then Senator Biden ( AKA Tug Benson) thought the filibuster was the best thing since sliced bread. At least when it worked to their advantage. If there were 60 plus Democratic Senators in the Senate it would be no issue. The same goes for term limits and the amount of Justices occupying the Supreme Court. If five or more were liberals it again would be no issue. All of a sudden they come off putting up a facade of being virtuous and altruistic. Their only concern is finding a means to run the table. If that is their plan than so be it. Go for it but stop trying to put up the smoke screen. The last thing the Democratic Party is needs is another damaging shot to their integrity.”

FactCheck: TRUE
Start the New Year off right. If you are unvaccinated. do yourself, your family, your friends, and your country a favor. Get-er-Done!
Open Your Eyes says
I accept the above Covid data as factual. I was fully vaccinated and received the booster and recently contracted Covid. The symptoms were minimal. Originally Dr. “Flip Flop” Fauci told us that the vaccine would prevent people from getting the Covid virus then he changed gears and stated that it would not prevent infection or transmission but would possibly reduce the severity. This in affect supports the Supreme Court’s recent decision addressing government overreach regarding mandatory vaccine mandates. The ruling supports the rights of individuals to make their own decision regarding the vaccine. As per the most recent information presented by Dr. Fauci and echoed by President “Tug Benson” Biden the vaccine does not prevent infection or transmission. It is hard to make a public health argument that “it is an epidemic of the unvaccinated “. Vaccine or not people will become infected. I believe in the vaccination and the booster but it is hard to make an argument regarding individual choice for or against it. I feel that the Supreme Court made the right decision.
Bob says
OYE, Sorry to hear you contracted Covid. The good news is your symptoms were mild and you have recovered. Take care of yourself and stay safe.
SoulCrusher says
The vaccine is a fraud. It does not prevent infection and it really does nothing to reduce symptoms. Taking into account the fact that our own government participated in the research to give us this fake pandemic, public health fraud being conducted by the traitor government and the Health Care professionals is the appropriate conclusion. There is no evidence other than conjecture and opinion that the vaccine does anything at all. The only thing these vaccines actually did was put money back into the pocket of big pharma after all the opioid lawsuits. What you have seen is the government indemnifying those who spread the opioid crisis in return for the government not being implicated in the crisis. This is reality and neither vaccines or masks work…COVID is an airborne respiratory disease that must work its way thru the population, just like the Flu. To deny this is to deny facts, science and reality. Wake up people. Your government hates you and seeks you to serve the government while the government is supposed to serve YOU. It is time to reject the government and start over using the same framework our forefathers implemented. It is what it is…
SoulCrusher says
A family of 6 that I know just had COVID sweep thru their household. 5 of them caught it and were over it in 3-4 days. Only 1 of them did not test positive. She was 14 and got the vaccine about two weeks before it swept thru their house. 4 adults were vaccined and boosted, yet caught it. One of them had underlying conditions, smokes and is considered obese, yet he only had mild symptoms and was over in three days, yet he is unvaccinated. Every vaccinated person I know has had COVID recently. I am unvaccinated and have had COVID twice. The original strain and this latest omicron. Omicron is nothing. I had chills for two days. That’s it, nothing else. I am only reporting the truth and not the BS you see on TV. It is what it is…
Open Your Eyes says
I thought I would give President “Tug Benson” Biden the benefit of the doubt during his State of the Union speech. The only question he answered assertively without evasiveness was the question about Mrs. Harris being his running mate if he chose to run again. I was most interested when he was asked to proffer the grade his efforts have earned. He never provided a direct answer. The entire presentation could be only described as a total train wreck. Even members of the liberal media beat the man up. Big trouble for the Democrats. I actually felt bad for him.
SoulCrusher says
I didn’t feel bad for him. I also think he answered maybe 2 questions out of all of them. The rest of the time he went into some story or some other jibber jabber that doesn’t make any sense. He really is an embarrassment.

Open Your Eyes says
I don’t understand. Trump is no longer President. Sadly Mr. Biden is the POTUS and has many issues that need to be addressed ASAP. Respectfully Bob it appears that you are trying hard to divert attention from Mr. Biden and his blunders. Mr. Biden appears to be attempting to do the same avoiding questions regarding the current Russia threat. When asked questions about same he declines to comment and attempts to change the conversation to computer chip production. Mr. Biden holds much of the responsibility for the problem. He has proven to be a weak and inept leader. Due to this Mr. Putin has seized the opportunity to “try him on” and embarrass our country on the world stage. Furthermore, up until recently the Russians had a much weaker economy, They had significant financial issues. Then comes “Exceptional Joe”. He gets elected and immediately shuts down our country’s ability to be energy independent. We stop producing our own oil and fuels which we were exporting to other countries for profit. Smart move Joe. We along with other countries need to fulfill our energy needs by purchasing fuels from someone. Center stage Russia. They now have revenue pouring in boosting their economy and subsequently giving them the ability to further fund their military. Mr. Biden’s actions have basically paved the way for Russia financially to pay for significant military action. Biden’s weakness plus Putin’s aggressive attitude and ambitions could be big trouble. Someone needs to open their eyes before it is too late.
Bob says
Am I to assume you think Trump should get a free ride as far as the January 6th Insurrection? Before we relegate Trump to the trash bin of history, it’s critical that he and his gang of thugs are held accountable. If not, we might have to deal with another third-rate wannabe dictator somewhere down the road.
Like I said before compared to his predecessor “Exceptional Joe” walks on water.

You’re an idiot Bob. Trump didn’t incite a riot. He never told them to storm the capital. He always referred to protesting peacefully. Now the truth is the Democrats used ANTIFA operatives to stage your so called “insurrection”. There was no insurrection. There was a peaceful protest that ANTIFA operatives used to pierce the inner layers of protection in the capital. There was also Capital Police Officers that let them in. However, the Democratic MURDERERS of Americans did clear the officer that shot an unarmed woman for climbing thru a window. These same Democratic MURDERERS of Americans did allow for mass rioting, looting and burning down cities as well. Americans were killed in these riots sponsored by your political party. So, the Democratic MURDERERS of Americans were for rioting, looting, arson, murder, fixing elections, inflation, energy crises and food shortages.

“Donald Trump Jr. brought his 12-year-old son to Texas for a Trump rally and let him build an AR-15 at his friend’s business”
https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-jr-takes-son-build-ar-15-texas-2022-1
Like father like son. Junior is a particularly despicable guy. I guess he figures it’s OK to politicize his young son, as long as he is the one doing the politicizing.
EVEN AT 12 HE IS MORE OF A MAN THAN ANY FUCKING LIBERAL says
I guess he should have taken him to Austin or some other democrat cesspool and let the deviant libs have a shot at him. They would have cut his pecker off so he could join the girls swim team AND/OR, sent him to a fed gov sponsored re-education school where he could dosed with CRT propaganda while being brainwashed by the faction that considers a straight white male a threat to their lifestyle.

I got a hunch about Lindsay. I believe he is trying to move away from Trump and restore his credibility with the sensible Republicans. He might even be considering running for President in 2024. He would be a pretty formidable candidate.

Hey Bob,
While I am finding this fascination with gerbils and Hunter’s belongings humorous… I’m also a bit concerned for you. Placing these items into your orifices poses potential health risks I’m not confident you have weighed. Additionally, experimenting with body fluids of animals also poses risks I feel are not quite worth the benefits you seem to draw. For example, I think we are all now too informed about the risks associated with acquiring diseases from animals not ordinarily domesticated.
Be safe, Bob, be safe.

“Mail-in ballot request forms being sent in Maryland”

(Associated Press – (Bias Rating: LEAST BIAS Factual Reporting: VERY HIGH)
“Any registered voter may vote by mail-in ballot. You don’t need a reason to vote by mail-in ballot. It’s another way to vote if you don’t want to or can’t go to an early voting center or your polling place.”
SoulCrusher says
You are supposed to have a REASON to use a mail-in ballot in Maryland. Under the veil of the COVID crisis, COVID was the reasoning to request one. However, that has now changed and COVID is NOT a good enough reason, unless you have some sort of underlying condition. I guess your underlying reason could be that you are a panty waste and you are afraid to go to the poll and vote, but if you have this type of mental illness that makes you afraid of living, you probably aren’t competent to vote to begin with. Mail-in ballots are not meant to be used by the general public unless they have good cause for the absence. That’s why those mail-in ballots are really falling under the category of ABSENTEE BALLOT. Voting by mail or not in person has the potential to be rife with fraud, as Europe found in the years after WW2 and mail-in or absentee ballots are banned in most of Europe. Yet, we realize the Democratic “Not See” Party’s desire to stage another fraudulent election and understand that they need to cheat in order to win an election. You did it before, but let’s see you do it again. Let’s see if the absentee allowance under the COVID crisis will hold up to Court challenges now that COVID is winding down. It is time to remove any kind of declaration of emergency and let the people convene on a TRUE Democratic process that the so called Democrat Party wishes to destroy. If you guys are Democrats, why don’t you let the Democratic process play out the correct way and just because it is called a Democratic process doesn’t mean that Democrats actually want a Democratic election.

Time for me to go butt fuck a gerbil!
Bob says
Well, butt fucking the gerbil was a bad idea. My place looks like a crime scene. Blood, fur, and rodent droppings all over the place. I just wanted to pitch for once as I’m always catching…

Burying another police officer today in Houston. Suspect was an illegal alien. Another police funeral in New York City. When is the current administration going to step up to the plate and do their job? What is the Democratic response? Enact all types of laws to limit or prohibit lawful citizens from possessing firearms. Do they not get it? Guns like drugs will find their way on to the street. Are the liberals and Democrats that naive? How about zero tolerance, mandatory ten year sentences for illegal gun possession. No exceptions! If the law impacts certain groups more than others then oh well. People are dying! Do the crime do the time . Who in the long term is benefiting from trying not to hurt the feelings and conceal the bad behavior of certain groups in the name of political correctness . Answer. No one.
Bob says
OYE,
You are a stupid right wing nut that is clueless on the improvements and direction this country is going under the current administration. You always take the lame route and post about the police when you try to stoke the fire.
As far as the other Bob, I don’t think you are funny and I doubt anyone here is getting any laughs about your posts about me. Grow up! I’m sick and tired of the inappropriate posts. You are not me and you need to pick another name to use.
Open Your Eyes says
Gone on man. If this is the naive liberal original Bob please expound on “ the improvements and direction this country is going under the current administration” I am all ears. By the way my post was about the growing unaddressed crime issues facing this country and exponentially endangering the safety of police and the citizenry. Nice try but please address the issues if you can. Why don’t you have a big bowl of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and attempt to come up with a factual and believable justification regarding your post about those improvements and direction that your guy’s administration has made. If this is the case how come “Exceptional Joe’s “ approval ratings are on the toilet. There you go being the site antagonist again if you are in fact the real Bob. Anxiously awaiting your response if that was really your post. It really didn’t seem like your style.
Bob says
OYE, I just won a bet my myself. When I saw that post from “another Bob” I was sure you would be able to tell the difference. Like you said, it’s not my style.
Open Your Eyes says
“Whoopi threatens to quit.” Ooooooo. Nooooooo Mr. Bill!!! Does anyone really give a flying doodle? Just a hypothetical question. What would have happened to the career of a conservative white male who made the same statement that Whoopi made? Do you think they would have been given the same rhythm?
Bob says
Is Judaism a race or a religion? I’ve always considered it a religion. I have filled out many government forms throughout the years and I don’t recall Judaism being listed as a race. I can change my religion, but I can’t change my race.

Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms. Bob,
Sir, Ma’am
There is a subtly to argument presented by Miss, Ms. Goldberg, that she did not quite understand, and that you may have missed as well. It is true that there are recognized races in the world. Caucasian/White, Negroid/Black, Mongoloid/Asian, Australoid. When reviewing the holocaust it does appear on the surface that it was a Caucasian/ White – Caucasian/White atrocity. The subtly is that Hitler was engaged in developing an Aryan race, Ubermensch. His plan required total elimination of the Untermensch. Untermensch were all of the “subhuman” races that tainted his Aryan race. The elimination was not restricted to just persons of Jewish descent, but also those who were mentally incapable, gypsies, and many of the people in the lands occupied by German armies. Concluding, there was a very significant racial overtone in the pursuit of the Aryan race that led to the atrocities of holocaust.
Please do have a pleasant evening
THNX
