Karen Gets Physical
It’s a good thing I don’t fly much anymore, because had I been the older guy, this stupid Karen would be visiting her dentist, more than once, over the holidays.
Och Aye The Noo!
“Ye may tak’ oor lands, oor lives, oor haggis… but ye’ll ne’er tak’ oor football!”
Defiant Celtic fans clash with police in Glasgow as they storm football ground to watch match after crowds were capped at 500 in Sturgeon’s Christmas crackdown
For once, I find myself agreeing with the manky Scots. And a pox on their foul slag of a PM.
Defunding Consequences
Aaaaaand once again, we see “well-meaning” actions having unforeseen consequences — unforeseen only by those without common sense and / or brains, that is.
Last year, Burlington, Vermont, cut its police budget by nearly 30% through attrition. Now, people are afraid to speak up because they know they’ll be called “racist.”
It’s been more than a year and a half since the city cut its police budget, and now even the city councilor who proposed the cut is unhappy with the consequences.
Oh, and what consequences would those be in sleepy little Burlington VT, home to so many hippies, academics and Lefties? [some overlap]
The move to slash the police budget, however, has led city leaders, as NBC reported, “to reckon with the unintended consequences of that decision, including problems with public safety and quality of life, police and residents say.”
…
The unintended consequences of the resolution apparently showed up quickly, NBC reported. The council thought attrition would take years, but it was completed in months, leaving the police department understaffed. Police officers left en masse, leaving only about five to patrol at night. The police have had to shift focus to high-priority crimes and less on quality of life issues. Burglary, vehicle theft, mental health issues, and overdoses all increased with fewer cops on patrol.
You don’t say.
Local business owner Mark Bouchett told NBC that people were afraid to speak out about the problems that have arisen due to the reduced police force.
“If you speak out against defunding the police force, you’re labeled a racist,” he told NBC. “Or at least an idiot that doesn’t understand the problem.”
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of Lefty assholes. It’s just too bad that the good (conservative) folks of that part of Vermont have to suffer the consequences as well.
At least they’re not unarmed…
Sauce For Goose AND Gander
So here’s this report:
Retired generals urge Pentagon to take steps to avert ‘civil war’ after 2024 election
“The Defense Department should war-game the next potential post-election insurrection or coup attempt to identify weak spots. It must then conduct a top-down debrief of its findings and begin putting in place safeguards to prevent breakdowns not just in the military, but also in any agency that works hand in hand with the military.”
I’m all over that thought. But I should caution these old assholes that as usual, they’re preparing to fight the last war, not the next one.
You see, there will be no problems among military or even among ex-military, as they seem to be so nervous about, because the outcome of the next election is likely to be a resounding Republican victory.
But amongst all their little wargames, I hope these guys actually implement their action plans for when the Left starts an insurrection after Election 2024. That, my old Rockjaws, is the more likely prospect.
Brilliant
Oooh, this man is a national treasure.
A Florida man wearing red women’s underwear as a face mask was kicked off an airplane prior to takeoff – followed by other passengers who also got off in support.
…
He added that wearing the underwear as a face mask was intended to show the absurdity of masking on a plane until it reaches cruising altitude, when passengers are then allowed to remove their masks to eat and drink.
‘There’s nothing more absurd than having to wear a mask until I get to cruising altitude so that I can order Tito’s by the double and snack on pretzels, and illustrating that absurdity by wearing women’s underwear on my face sounds perfect,’ said Jenne.
THE REGULATION DOESN’T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE — YOU JUST HAVE TO COMPLY, YOU BLOODY PEASANT.
Victoria’s Secret, here I come.
