Why Do Federal Bureaucrats Need So Much Firepower?

Why Do Federal Bureaucrats Need So Much Firepower? MILITARIZATION OF POLICE
  • A new report details a startling trend: Federal agencies with no obvious law enforcement purview are spending millions each year on guns and ammunition.

If you worry that one day armed federal agents might kick down your door, you probably assume that they would at least come from a law enforcement agency. 
  • But as it turns out, they might just be tax collectors...

Los Angeles proposes that unarmed civilians enforce traffic laws instead of police officers - TheBlaze

The Los Angeles Department of Transportation recently released a draft plan to have unarmed civilians enforce traffic laws instead of the Los Angeles Police Department. The draft report, obtained by the Los Angeles Times, has been in the works for nearly three years and has yet to be officially released.

What a concept!

 

Biden EPA Unveils Radical New Rule That Will Decimate American Energy

Biden EPA Unveils Radical New Rule That Will Decimate American Energy - Spencer Brown
"The Biden administration announced its latest move in the president's now long-running campaign to "end fossil fuels" and force Americans through an "energy transition" that has
  • destroyed the country's energy independence, 
  • driven energy prices higher, and 
  • left Americans more vulnerable to blackouts...that 
  • would mandate most coal- and natural gas-fired power plants in the U.S. to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by 90 percent over a five-year period beginning in 2035 
  • or be shuttered by federal regulators... 
Currently, only one of the hundreds of coal-fired power plants in the country has carbon-capture technology in place, according to The New York Times...
"EPA’s proposal is a sort of nationalization of the utility industry," noted Steve Milloy

Next Joint Chiefs Chair Wants White Male Officers to be a Minority: Milley was bad, Brown will be much worse.

Next Joint Chiefs Chair Wants White Male Officers to be a Minority: Milley was bad, Brown will be much worse. Frontpage Mag - Daniel Greenfield
"When I was working on the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s ‘Disloyal Military’ investigation, I predicted that Air Force Chief of Staff Charles Q. Brown Jr. would be selected as the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 
The media is now reporting that Biden will indeed pick Brown to replace Milley. 
And as bad as Milley was, expect Brown to be much worse.
Under Gen. Brown, the Air Force has become the most woke of the major service branches.
...What should we expect from Brown if he becomes the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?
...Brown’s quotas limit the number of white officers to 67% and cut white men down to 43%.
The Air Force officer corps is currently 77% white: getting it down to 67%, a reduction of 10%, would require serious effort to purge white officers and bar the doors to any new ones.
Reducing the number of white men in the officer corps to a minority, 43%, would cripple the service and wipe out generations of talent: especially when 86% of pilots are white men.
What do you do with those 86% of white male pilots?..

Why are Democrats pushing for gun laws they won't enforce?

Why are Democrats pushing for gun laws they won't enforce? - Tom Knighton
"...Democrats continue to stand on the bodies of shooting victims to demand more gun control, only for them to refuse to enforce gun laws that already exist and allow more people to be shot and killed.
...However, in Chicago, you can see exactly what Democrats think of gun control. 
There, an off-duty police officer was shot and killed. 
One of the suspects involved in her death was a man who had a previous criminal history that includes multiple gun crimes that were not taken seriously by Democrat prosecutors.
...For his multiple gun crimes, this suspect received a grand total of two years of probation and 50 hours of community service from his guilty plea and absolutely nothing for the other offenses. Charges were dropped against him twice...

This will work!


 

Report: 6K Migrants Wait in Tijuana to Rush U.S. Border as Biden Ends Title 42

Report: 6K Migrants Wait in Tijuana to Rush U.S. Border as Biden Ends Title 42

Thousands of migrants are waiting in Tijuana, Mexico, just across from San Diego, California, to rush the United States-Mexico border as President Joe Biden is scheduled to end Title 42, one of only a few border controls remaining, this week. In 2020, in the midst of the Chinese coronavirus crisis, former President Donald Trump invoked Title 42 at the border to ensure that federal immigration officials could quickly return illegal aliens to Mexico for the sake of public health.

Chicago prosecutor quits citing city's 'social experiment' with law and order: ' I will not raise my son here'

Chicago prosecutor quits citing city's 'social experiment' with law and order: ' I will not raise my son here'
  • A Chicago prosecutor who had been working for the city for 20 years quit his job last week. 
  • In a final letter he praised many of the people he worked with but said he could not raise his son in a city that was part of a social experiment, one which he believes has the city heading for disaster.
“The simple fact is that this State and County have set themselves on a course to disaster, wrote Poje, who was with the office for 20 years.
“And the worst part is that the agency for whom I work has backed literally every policy change that has the predictable, and predicted, outcome of more crime and more people getting hurt...

REPORT: BDS movement is the 'brainchild of the progressive left…and academia'
"The National Association of Scholars recently published a report examining the historical and financial development of the Boycott, Divest, and Sanction (BDS) movement on college campuses.
Report author Ian Oxnevad explains that BDS is the “brainchild of the progressive left…and academia.”
Ian Oxnevad from the National Association of Scholars told Campus Reform that the “biggest source” of anti-Semitism in American culture is the progressive left, and in particular leftist academia...

...“All the muddy crazy policies that you're seeing playing out, everything from ‘the debt doesn't matter’ to ‘we need to open the border’ … all those come from ideas on campus,” Oxnevad contends. 
  • “If you control education, which [the left does], and you inject…ideological training over any other thing, which they do, that's going to make it manifest itself everywhere.
“People need to know that academia is not an innocuous place,” Oxnevad emphasized. 
“[Academia] is the epicenter for just about everything bad that you're seeing going on right now.”

Yuenling release to can said to benefit veterans - Louder With Crowder

After Bud Light's unfortunate, real-time experiment on the correlation between getting woke and going broke, an opportunity was presented for another brewery to step up as America's beer. No one better to fill the void than America's oldest brewery, Yuengling. The company has announced new camouflage cans with a red, white, and blue logo. And proceeds benefit a veterans charity. The only way to get more 'Merica as f*ck would be if you had an opportunity to win a pet bald eagle.

Evil

Evil - David Foster 
"The Dutch government is buying out certain farmers, paying them above market value (it sounds like the implication is that if they don’t sell, they will eventually be expropriated)…with the proviso that they will be banned forever from doing the same kind of farming anywhere in the EU.
  • Economically destructive…
  • destructive of the food supply and of individual choice…
  • destructive of knowledge accumulated over centuries.
In what sense should the EU still be considered part of the Free World?

Elon Musk engages conspiracies on Texas shooter - Louder With Crowder

Elon Musk engages conspiracies on Texas shooter - Louder With Crowder

For someone who is very intelligent, Elon Musk can be as confused by what he sees on the news and in the media as you and I. The narrative being spun about the mass killing at the Allen, Texas shopping center leaves a very itchy noodle to scratch. To recap, a former security guard killed eight people at a high ended outdoor mall in Texas over the weekend, before a first responder used his gun to save the day. The killer we're told is a white supremacist, even though he is so Latino that his parents needed a translator. I tend not to like to share photos of killers, but since the media refuses to, this is the new face of white supremacy.

How quickly they "grow up".


 

The inhumanity of the green agenda - spiked

The inhumanity of the green agenda - spiked - JOEL KOTKIN
"In recent years, the overused word ‘sustainability’ has fostered a narrative in which human needs and aspirations have taken a back seat to the green austerity of Net Zero and ‘degrowth’...
  • Meanwhile, they will get to harvest massive green subsidies and live like Renaissance potentates....
Indeed, many climate scientists and green activists see having fewer people on the planet as a key priority. 
Their programme calls not only for fewer people and fewer families, but also for lower consumption among the masses. 
They expect us to live in ever smaller dwelling units, to have less mobility, and to endure more costly home heating and air-conditioning...
The most egregious example may be the forced take-up of electric vehicles (EVs)...
  • Green activists, it turns out, do not expect EVs to replace the cars of hoi polloi. 
  • No, ordinary people will be dragooned to use public transport, or to walk or bike to get around.
