[THEHILL] Former Sen. Harry Reid ... the charismatic now retired senator-for-life from Nevada, formerly majority leader, who was beaten to within an inch of his life by a treadmill ... (Nev.), one of the Senate’s longest-serving majority leaders and a Democrat who played a central role in enacting former President Obama’s biggest legislative accomplishments, died Tuesday at 82 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
The death was announced by longtime political news hound Jon Ralston, who called Reid "probably the most important elected official in Nevada history."

He was a big sell out to China. The entire Bundy event was a land grab to sell china rights to build solar power farms, and get USG dollars to do so. He was a traitor to our nation. I dont usually speak ill of the dead but I hope he rots in hell for taking his personal gains over our nation.

[PJ Media - Matt Margolis] As the year comes to a close, it's once again time to start thinking about taxes. Tax day is still months away, but for many people who aren't very good at bookkeeping, tax season can be a stressful time of making sure you've got all the necessary documentation for the income you've earned and deductions you can take.
The tax code is, of course, incredibly complex, and many rely on professionals to prepare their taxes for them. Experts have a much better idea of the things you can claim to reduce your tax burden, and they can alert you to items you must declare as income if you don't want to risk getting audited.
While you obviously wouldn't be expected to know everything - or even most - of what the tax code says, there is something the IRS expects people to declare as income that is so absurd, you won't believe it.
[FoxNews] Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo accused the Biden administration of "actively preventing the effective distribution of monoclonal antibody treatments" in the United States, according to a Tuesday letter addressed to Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra.
The Biden administration recently paused shipments of COVID-19 antibody treatments manufactured by major drug companies Regeneron and Eli Lilly amid claims that such treatments are not effective against the omicron variant of the coronavirus.
The federal government continues to supply Sotrovimab, a monoclonal antibody from the company Glaxosmithkline, which reportedly does work against omicron.

MSM coverage of these events conveniently leaves out the fact that the recently discontinued monoclonal antibody treatments are still effective against non-Omicron variant illnesses but that in a given patient, it is not possible to determine which variant they have in time to choose which of several alternatives might work out best for a particular patient. The efficacy of the outmoded treatments is not zero, but is less than that of sotrovimab for the Omicron variant. In addition, as has happened before during the epidemic, a new variant has the tendency to displace a previous variant. Probably in 30 days the US will have >90% of all cases caused by the Omicron variant.

Is Joe's one of them "scratch 'n' sniff" masks? Spritzed with eau de nymphe?
[PJMEDIA] Between Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The nincompoop who dumped Afghanistan. The copier doesdn't exist that could reelect him.... ’s poor poll numbers and his party being increasingly out of touch with the American public, the Democratic Party is widely expected to suffer devastating losses in the 2022 midterms.
But prominent Democrat lawyer Marc Elias is predicting that Democrats will try to use litigation to prevent some duly elected Republicans from serving.
"My prediction for 2022: Before the midterm election, we will have a serious discussion about whether individual Republican House Members are disqualified by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment from serving in Congress," Elias tweeted last week. "We may even see litigation."
Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center scoffed at Elias’s absurd idea. "Marc is admitting Dems can’t win the election. So now he wants to cheat. Democrats are the real insurrectionists. Just like last time."
Elias, however, insisted that "members of Congress who engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United States are not eligible to serve in Congress."
However, you can observe a lot just by watching... no members of Congress participated in the riots that Democrats have incorrectly dubbed an "insurrection." Not only have text messages released by the Jan. 6 Committee proven that there was no insurrection but no one has been charged with insurrection either. It would be incredibly difficult to prove that members of Congress who didn’t even participate in the riot were engaged in an insurrection when no one who actually participated in the riot has been charged with insurrection.
Perhaps Mr. Elias is floating ideas for deep-pocketed Democrats willing to hire him in order to feed this fantasy that they’ll be able to remove Republicans from office and perhaps save the House majority for the Democrats?
The Democrats and their hatchet men are now just admitting openly that they don't believe in democracy, the Constitution, rule of law. They're playing with fire
Our democracy has already died. The Democrats will never again give up power in our lifetimes. And since they control the government, we can try rising up against them so that we can be massacred by drones. Why do you think they're purging the armed forces of right wingers right now?
The US military got very, very good at killing people in Iraq and Afghanistan. Who cheered it?

This is standard m.o. for this crook and his disgraced law partner. What's scary though is this new Narrative about "insurrection" and fancy academic theories predicting another US "civil war."
When this Narrative is bandied about by, respectively, the military brass and the nation's most prominent academic expert on intrastate conflict, and reinforced by actual stated policy at the highest levels of federal law enforcement, something's up.
Top Military + FB-eye + Prestige Academy + "Voting Rights" BS and Oligarch$$$$$' intervention = much worse suppression to come.
[THEBLUESTATECONSERVATIVE] Many on the political right oppose so-called "Big Government" due primarily to the tyranny it inevitably inflicts on its citizens, and we’re seeing scary examples of the phenomenon in real-time. Examples of such autocracy include vaccine and mask mandates, jury intimidation (see the Derek Chauvin trial), and unapologetic assaults on our First Amendment right to free speech. But there are other aspects of Big Government that are both infuriating and repulsive, one of which is its inexcusable waste; and we saw a ridiculous example of such waste last week.
According to the U.S. Secret Service last Tuesday, over $100 billion has been stolen from the federal government through three separate programs which received COVID relief bill funding, with one of those programs being the much-ballyhooed Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program. In today’s world of out-of-control government spending, $100 billion sounds almost small. But it isn’t, obviously. And each one of those dollars represents government incompetence having squandered our hard-earned taxpayer dollars.
The Secret Service’s Assistant Special Agent in Charge Roy Dotson acknowledged the magnitude of the failure, explaining "I’ve been in law enforcement for over 29 years and worked some complex fraud investigations for 20 plus years, and I’ve never seen something at this scale." We believe you, Agent Dotson, and thanks for putting this larceny in perspective. But it is the next statement from the special agent that sheds light on the fundamental problem.
"There’s no doubt that the programs were easily accessible online. And so, with that, comes the opportunity for bad actors to get into that mix," Dotson said. "It was necessary to try to get these funds out to people that were truly hurting, and no fault of anybody." And there it is... the absurd mindset of Big Government: We had good intentions, and stuff happens. Oh well.
Instead of such a large number like $100 billion, let’s divide that number by a whopping 100,000 which brings the theft to $1 million. Only let’s say that instead of that amount being stolen from the Federal Government, let’s say it was stolen from a company in the private sector. If a company such as Wal-Mart, or Goldman Sachs, or Southwest Airlines had $1 million stolen from it, do you think their reaction would be "it’s nobody’s fault?"
When a private company experiences a massive breach in their financial security apparatus, heads roll, and rightfully so. In private industry, there’s accountability. Employees are accountable to their employers, and employers are accountable to their owners: either stockholders or other types of proprietors. If $1 million goes missing from a private company tomorrow, no matter how big that company might be, by the end of the day someone will be packing up their belongings into cardboard boxes and heading out the door. It might be someone from their Finance and Accounting Department, or maybe their Security team, or perhaps their Information Technology group. Or maybe folks from all of the above. But someone will suffer the consequences because someone failed to do their job

This point is evergreen; just look at the Earned Income Tax Credit - same deal there with all the fraud that's committed to get those big & easy refunds, and that shit's been going on as long as I've been banging out 1040's, so the order of magnitude is comparable between these two things.

Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program was raised by friends and family of members of Congress as well as major corporations whose CEOs were being bought by members of Congress through these programs.
Truelly small businesses got only a fraction if nothing through the programs.
[Vegas Sun] A federal judge refused to dismiss an indictment charging four alleged leaders of the far-right Proud Boys with conspiring to attack the U.S. Capitol to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's electoral victory.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly on Tuesday rejected defense attorneys' arguments that the four men — Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Charles Donohoe — are charged with conduct that is protected by the First Amendment right to free speech.
Kelly said the defendants had many nonviolent ways to express their opinions about the 2020 presidential election.
"Defendants are not, as they argue, charged with anything like burning flags, wearing black armbands, or participating in mere sit-ins or protests," Kelly wrote in his 43-page ruling. "Moreover, even if the charged conduct had some expressive aspect, it lost whatever First Amendment protection it may have had."
Nordean, Biggs, Rehl and Donohoe were indicted in March on charges including conspiracy and obstructing an official proceeding. All four of them remain jailed while they await a trial scheduled for May.
Defense lawyers also argued that the obstruction charge doesn't apply to their clients' cases because Congress’ certification of the Electoral College vote was not an "official proceeding." Kelly disagreed.
Earlier this month, another judge in the District of Columbia's federal court upheld prosecutors’ use of the same obstruction charge in a separate case against two riot defendants.
The case against Nordean, Biggs, Rehl and Donohoe is a focus of the Justice Department's sprawling investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection. More than three dozen people charged in the Capitol siege have been identified by federal authorities as Proud Boys leaders, members or associates, including at least 16 defendants charged with conspiracy.

Much smaller scale, but a carbon copy of the The Tiananmen Square protests, known as the June Fourth 1989 Incident. Get several thousand protestors or rally attendees congregated, then insert government agent provocateurs.
There was simply no choice. Poland's mounted cavalry would have invaded and rode on to Berlin. The Blitzkrieg was inevitable.

The point of T.S.I.A.F. is to combat The Narrative with facts, logic and sarcasm. By exposing the absurdity of our demented, decadent, corrupt and moronic crapulosities, an Alternate Narrative is created.
Examples:
- the scurrilous big lie of "Systemic Racism" are displaced with the facts of opportunistic race-baiting and looting
- the absurd big lies of "soothing, grandfatherly good ol' Joe Biden the Unifier" are displaced with the facts of Magoo The Big Guy, PervOTUS and UberGropersniffer
- the ridiculous big lies of "White Supremacist Insurrectionists" are displaced with the facts of Anarcho-Tyranny imposed by the Ferret's American Stasi and Soros's Commie DA's
- the preposterous big lies of the Great Russia Hoax are displaced with the facts of the FB-eye's circle jerk with Steele-Glenn Simpson-NYT/CNN/WaPo, the FISA crimes, the Mueller idiocy, the Clinesmith forgery farce, and the voluminous evidence that the man they ludicrously called a Russian agent was actually the most anti-Russian president since Reagan's first term.
Yes, you're right: T.S.I.A.F. is not as thrilling as kinet!c act!on. May not change any election outcome. Won't shut up the liars at American Pravda or restore constitutional governance or rein in the Stasi.
But it's absolutely necessary to combat their Big Lies. If they aren't repeatedly, relentlessly mocked, if truth is not stated again and again and again, then you get Faucism and Schifferbrains-level idiocy, not just wrt WuFlu and Russia Hoax but EVERYWHERE.

Re dangerous truths: The truth of the Biden Family's corruption -- in great detail, with forensic evidence supported by sworn affidavits from their business partner Bobulinski -- this was so dangerous to our Kakocracy that the entire media establishment (with the exception of t. Carlson and the NYPost) colluded to spike the story in October 2000.
So yeah, typing truth into forums is the only way to keep it from being completely extinguished today.
[ZEROHEDGE] On Christmas Eve, Dr. Anthony Fauci ...American epidemiologist with rotating opinions, warnings about the unlikely, and reassurances that if you wear a mask you won't get COVID, as long as you're wearing multiple masks, assuming wearing a mask is necessary in the first place... turned 81. However, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... he is not retiring just yet.
If he did, Fauci would reap the largest federal retirement package in U.S. history.
Our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com estimate Dr. Fauci’s annual retirement would exceed $350,000. Thereafter, his pension and benefits would continue to increase through annual cost-of-living adjustments.
Fauci has 55 years of service as a federal employee.
For the second year in a row, Fauci was the most highly compensated federal employee and out earned the president, four star generals, and roughly 4.3 million of his colleagues. As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Fauci earned $434,312 in 2020, the latest year available, up from $417,608 in 2019.
Fauci is currently the Chief Medical Advisor to the President. However, the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits... his big salary boost came in 2004 under the George W. Bush Administration (as we reported earlier at Forbes) when Fauci received a "permanent pay adjustment" for his biodefense work. In January 2000, Fauci was also appointed to the Ready Reserve Corps, a corps of "officers on full-time extended active duty."
$340,000-$350,000 each year in federal retirement payments
Federal employees with Fauci’s length of service can retire to earn "80 percent of [their] high-3 average salary, plus credit for [their] sick leave," according to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
In November, we filed a federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit to determine Dr. Fauci’s currently unpublished 2021 salary, job description, royalties, conflict of interest and financial disclosures, and employment contract. The case moved quickly and the federal judge ordered production starting on February 1, 2022.
So, at this point, we can use only the last three published years of his salary — 2018: $399,625; 2019: $417,608; and 2020: $434,312 — to calculate his potential retirement earnings.

I'd raise it a hundred-fold if it make the Dwarf and his allies disappear forever from public life
[NYPOST] Team Biden and Democrats erred in rejecting Republicans’ offer of a $600 billion COVID relief plan in February and passing their own $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan instead, laments Bloomberg Opinion’s Matthew Yglesias. With bipartisan COVID-relief and infrastructure bills and possible bipartisan science funding, Biden "could claim to have delivered" on his vow to unite the country — and maybe even gotten Sen. Joe Manchin ...Dem senator-for-life from West Virginia. Manchin is one of the approximately one (okay, two) Dem senators who exhibits more integrity than Jello, often even representing his constituents... to back his Build Back Better plan. Instead, Dems "set aside the possibility of bipartisanship in pursuit of more far-reaching legislation," despite their narrow majority. That now looks "like foolishness. The current slog is more reflective of the underlying political reality, and Biden and his party would almost certainly be better off today had they acknowledged this reality from the start."

[BIZPACREVIEW] U.S. Rep. Eric I farted on national television Swalwell ... U.S. Representative-for-Life from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s 15th congressional district since 2013. Naturally he's a Dem. His district covers most of eastern Alameda County and part of central Contra Costa County. He was rapidly eliminated from the 2020 Dem nomination pool. He looks a lot like Greg Marmelard, and has the distinction of being one of the few politicians to ever fart on national teevee... sparked immediate criticism after clueless commentary about the "new crew" of Republicans who are "indecent to their core."
The California Democrat was handed a self-check mirror on Twitter after whining about Republican politicians cheering on the 'Let's go Brandon' chants, including the latest one that seemed to set Swalwell off.
An Oregon father of four told President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The nincompoop who dumped Afghanistan. The copier doesn't exist that could reelect him.... 'Let's Go Brandon' on Christmas Eve during a live-streamed call, setting off a meltdown on the left.
"I refuse to believe we are this indecent as people. Not on Christmas Eve. And not to a person who lost his wife and daughter at Christmastime. We are better than this. Be kind and #Merry Christmas," Swalwell tweeted.
Jared Schmeck, 35, insisted he meant the remark as a joke and said "and now I am being attacked for utilizing my freedom of speech," according to The Oregonian.
"He seems likes he's a cordial guy. There's no animosity or anything like that. It was merely just an innocent jest to also express my God-given right to express my frustrations in a joking manner...I love him just like I love any other brother or sister," Schmeck added about the president.
But Swalwell was having none of it, calling Schmeck "pathetic" in another tweet on Christmas.
But the Democrat's outrage earned him a swift reminder of his own "indecent" behavior after reports of his alleged intimate relations with Chinese spy Fang Fang.
Twitter users also gave Swalwell a reality check with a reminder of just how not decent his own party has been.

[BREITBART] Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Mama Grizzly Palin ... the babe libs love to hate ... (R) told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview last week that "it’s too late to get through" to President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier. Of course Corn Pop is a real person.... Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow sat down with Palin last week at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona, where he asked the former Alaska governor what advice she would give to Biden today.
"Back in the day, you debated Joe Biden, and you won. Do you ever think back on that day?" Marlow asked. "He’s president now, and I know that it’s probably a little bit fun to know that you were right on so many things. But I bet you would like to get through to him."
Palin responded by saying, "I think it’s too late to get through to him."
In an op-ed Palin wrote exclusively for Breitbart News last month, the former Alaska governor explained that during her vice presidential debate against Biden, "The price of gas was $3.65 a gallon and a barrel of oil was $97 dollars."
"Biden had no solutions to the problem of high gas prices, and 13 years later, he remains as clueless," Palin wrote.
Palin continued:
Biden only reluctantly acknowledges that we have supply shortages. His baffling solution is to import oil from foreign countries. His response to high energy prices is to run and beg OPEC, the international cartel, for more oil.
Biden’s decisions, such as killing the Keystone Pipeline and stopping responsible oil and gas development on federal land, were all deliberate and illegal actions made by an administration that does not understand whatsoever how we produce our energy. Consequences took a few months to kick in, but we’re feeling them now. Drilling has slowed. Exploration has slowed. Investment has been scared away. Devastating ramifications are around the corner.
America now suffers because two million fewer barrels of oil are being produced every day compared to just one year ago. The diminished supply caused the huge spike in prices, which gets compounded across every other sector of the economy, including agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, and job creation in general.
The former governor added that much of the current inflation in the U.S. is driven by these energy costs, all because President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity, except maybe for abandoning Afghanistan...... "won’t learn his lesson."
[THEBLUESTATECONSERVATIVE] It’s not just the Daily Beast that’s turning on President Brandon the Incompetent. At this point, he’s gotten so bad that even CNN ...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for... is directing its megaphone of criticism toward him and calling him out for his many shortcomings.
In fact, CNN slammed his low approval ratings on air, then compared him to Jimmy Malaise Carter ...peanut farming former nuclear sub officer, who succeeded Gerald Ford as president. Carter perfected the approach later used by Joe Biden to get elected, presenting himself as a moderate whose Zero-based Budgeting was going to so away with the federal deficif. Once in the hands George McGovern's rejects, who were ever so much more virtuous than the rest of us, the nation immediately spun into a Malaise®. By the time Jimmeh, as he was contemptuously referred to, was running against Ronald Reagan, the liberal columnists were pronouncing the nation's problems as too severe to be solved by anyone; they were simply unsolvable, or maybe insoluble. That was why Reagan was such a flop. After Obama, Jimmeh's's only the second worst president ever, and by the time Biden's done maybe the third. Depending on how many Dems we elect in coming years, he may even end up looking competent... As you can hear in the video, senior data news hound Harry Enten says:
"Look at Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences. So does Afghanistan, aka Biden's Bungle... in 2021. Minus 15 points. He’s well under water. That is even lower than Jimmy Carter was in a CBS News / NYT poll at the beginning of January, 1978 when he was minus 8 points.
When it comes to the economy, there is pretty much nothing good that can be said about Joe Biden’s numbers, when it comes to the American public."
Perhaps CNN has given up providing covering fire for the left in a desperate attempt to buoy its ratings, perhaps the network actually is switching back to news, or perhaps Brandon is just so bad that even leftists feel no compunction about hammering him publicly.
Regardless of the reason, CNN’s attacks on Biden are astute. He’s like a demented, senile version of Jimmy Carter that’s surrounded with the wokest of the woke.
Hence, it’s gotten bad enough that even CNN is calling him out. That’s bad news for Brandon.

I bet it's a HUUUUGE book!
[Newsbusters] - In a nauseatingly gooey Tuesday interview with election conspiracy theorist and Democratic candidate for Georgia governor Stacey Abrams, the co-hosts of ABC’s Good Morning America heaped praise on the previously failed gubernatorial candidate for announcing her second go at the position, her work as a "major voting rights advocate," and her eponymous new children’s book Stacey's Extraordinary Words. Words like - "I'll have two double Whoppers, supersized onion rings and a Diet Coke!'
The segment was teased as a discussion of the book but co-host Janai Norman had other intentions as she kicked things off with Abrams’ political ambitions.
"Good morning to you, Ms. Stacey Abrams! We are so excited to have you here! So excited to talk about this book," she said while introducing their guest. "Your other big news you made earlier this month. You will be running again for governor in Georgia in 2022. This is after that narrow loss three years ago. What will be different for you this time around?"
That "narrow loss" Norman was talking about was almost 55,000 votes.
[AmericanThinker] The House of Representatives has passed a bill that seeks to eradicate blasphemy against Islam. The bill, H.R. 5665, is truly remarkable as it amounts to Congress making a law respecting the establishment of Islam and reducing the United States government into a tool of the world’s ayatollahs.
The blasphemy bill came into existence when it was sponsored by the Somalia-born Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (to be fair to her, she is most likely nothing more than a pawn of the State Department who did what she was told) after the Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan (who sparked off the deadly Islamic riots in multiple countries in 2005 by accusing the US of flushing the Quran down the toilet in Guantanamo Bay) demanded that the US and other western nations pass such a law to protect the medieval-era barbarism perpetrated by Islamic countries from scrutiny and criticism.
The actual text of the bill not only seeks to eradicate blasphemy against Islam around the world — and solely against Islam at that — but even requires the federal government to reorganize some portions of the State Department along the lines of an Islamic religious institution which will be responsible for interpreting the Quran. For example, the text of the bill mandates that "[t]he Secretary of State shall establish within the Department of State an Office" and the "purpose" of the office is described as "[m]onitoring and combating acts of Islamophobia and Islamophobic incitement that occur in foreign countries." That is, the State Department is required to create an office that is a cross between George Orwell’s Big Brother and the Taliban.
The word ’combat’ in the text of the law is problematic but fits in perfectly with the concept of waging violent jihad against the countries deemed to have committed blasphemy against Islam. Almost every dictionary defines the word primarily as an action pertaining to war. While the internet firm Google’s dictionary defines 'combat’ as "fighting between armed forces," Cambridge Dictionary defines the word as "a fight, especially during a war." According to Collins Dictionary, "combat is fighting that takes place in a war." This is no hyperbole as the State Department has a long history of supporting Islamic terrorists such as Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and ISIS. Former Assistant Secretary of State, Robin Raphel, ran her office as though it were an outpost of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and she lost her security clearance when she was investigated for counterintelligence activities. Little wonder then that Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House, used the term "Rogue State Department" and President Donald Trump described the State Department as the "Deep State Department."

Of course, SCROTUSCJ Roberts could argue it's a tax.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
-- that First Amendment thingie in the Constitution
Notice how the bit about religion comes first, before freedom of speech and assembly? It is the opinion of this citizen that not having a state religion is one of the more important ideas in the whole document. I suspect the Founding Fathers were inspired by the amount of time and energy our European betters spent killing each other in the name of God.
FDR's Japanese concentration camps passed Supreme Court scrutiny...
And that precedent still stands in effect AFAICT.

The term Islamaphobia really bothers me. A phobia by definition is an IRRATIONAL fear of something. Claustrophobia,germophobia, etc. The person suffering from the phobia is aware that it is irrational, but can't stop it.
With Islam, my fear is quite rational. I have seen what Muslims can do - to anyone not as pious as they deem necessary. This includes other Muslims.
Also, who gets to define "Islamophobia"? If I say, "I am glad I am Catholic and not Muslim", is that Islamophobic? If I say, "Those Muslims blew up a mosque full of other Muslims. They must be crazy", is that Islamophobic?

If you want to watch a poorly acted, straight up racist, stereotyped characters movie, catch The First Purge, 2018. Better get some booze, it is awful.
But...couldn't help but notice some 'rhyming' with following years' events.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.

[THEBLUESTATECONSERVATIVE] Many on the political right oppose so-called "Big Government" due primarily to the tyranny it inevitably inflicts on its citizens, and we’re seeing scary examples of the phenomenon in real-time. Examples of such autocracy include vaccine and mask mandates, jury intimidation (see the Derek Chauvin trial), and unapologetic assaults on our First Amendment right to free speech. But there are other aspects of Big Government that are both infuriating and repulsive, one of which is its inexcusable waste; and we saw a ridiculous example of such waste last week.
