    “4:59 p.m. — A caller near Broad Street, between North Pine and York streets, reported someone dumped a couch off in their driveway and now transients were using it.”
    So what was more disturbing? The dumped couch? or the bums taking up residence on it?

    From the NCPD log:
    “RP RPTG SOMEONE DUMPED A COUCH OFF IN THEIR DRIVEWAY DURING THE STORM AND NOW TRANSIENTS ARE USING IT AS A HANG OUT SPOT. RP REQG THEY MOVE ALONG. DESC THE “CLASSIC” FEMALE TRANSIENT FROM AROUND TOWN.”
    She shows up in a goodly proportion of the PD reports. It’s one of those cases where the police department is essentially valueless as is all the money spent on homeless nonprofits. A sign of the end times. Watch where you step behind the buildings downtown.
    I’m being repetitious, but think that given the general lawlessness plus growth in the crazy street population, people with any money will increasingly move to rural areas, particularly in Blue Cities. Betcha there’s a real run-up in value of large parcels that are driving distance (albeit long) from the LAs and Portlands of the world. Physical security via distance.

    Not just a limousine liberal but 85 cars full! India and China are laughing their asses off at our stupidity –
    Biden’s 85-vehicle motorcade a textbook example of hypocrisy from ‘limousine liberals’: Boothe
    ‘The Big Saturday Show’s’ panelists uncovered the ‘rules for thee, but not for me’ hypocrisy of the modern left
    “The issue of climate change is a limousine liberal issue,” Boothe said. “The Republican Party has turned into the party for the American worker, and Democrats are the party for coastal elites. This issue alone underscores that point.”
    Boothe also cited Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., illegally parking her “$59,000” Tesla outside a Whole Foods store and U.S. climate envoy John Kerry “exclusively [flying] private” as examples of “limousine liberal issues … [that] hurt hardworking Americans the most.”
    “If Democrats actually cared about emissions, they would look toward things like natural gas, nuclear power as well,” she continued. “But they don’t care about these issues. They don’t care about emissions. All they care about is virtue-signaling to their other limousine liberal friends.”
    Panelist Jackie DeAngelis questioned why Biden does not apply “more pressure” on China and India, ‘the two biggest polluters in the world’ instead of taxing Americans to fund electric vehicle subsidies and other climate change provisions in the social spending bill.
    “Why is it that we have to pay more to pay for the perils that are happening across the globe when it comes to climate change, and everybody else can just shrug their shoulders and look the other way?,”

    Nobody responds. No doubt the property owner is responsible for the couch and the insane people get free run of the town up to a significantly high level of illegal behavior.
    It’s all a bellwether. The police are told to allow tent cities, fire bombing of courthouses, incessantly aggressive marches by men-in-dresses and race hustlers. Social workers are as successful as they ever were but always need more funding. Opportunistic insane people are allowed to set public policy and lay down rules in large companies.

    “why Biden does not apply “more pressure” on China and India,”
    Why would that work? You are telling 3 billion people they can’t have electricity or heat. I suspect that even a market approach (CO2 tax applied to imports or something like that) just results in building up their internal market. My guess is that air quality in cities and birth defects/cancer from industrial chemicals are likely the only motivating factors in China towards any kind of clean-up.
    “If Democrats actually cared about emissions, ”
    They don’t. If they did, you’d see a huge push for nuclear energy and restriction of mass immigration to the first world. Instead, it’s all about buying fun toys like Teslas, solar panels, and electric bicycles.

    unfortunately for our society in the Age of the Wokening, it is all Bellweather all the time. Social workers are not the brightest bulbs and used to be akin to security guards; observe and report. The Bellweather is that social workers feel empowered now and they don’t just observe and report to the police no more. They report only to themselves and straight to the courts who listens to the Hilary Hodgepodges of the world and by-pass the rule of law.

    Probably unfair. Besides the fact that he’s 78, nothing is more tiring than endless pontificating by blathering politicians. I’d be fast asleep myself.
    Those conferences are 110% for news media consumption and to give staff members a chance to go on vacation.
    Generally, I’d say that that’s the main point of global warmingcooling concern. Lots and lots of paper writing, feel-good marching, money for non-profits that have a finger in the pie. Seriously, I feel like an idiot for not starting my own sweet gig. You just need a person to write:

    2. Hire 100% black police at all levels. Use some sort of Pantone chart to accomplish this.
    3. Don’t bug me anymore about it.

    The threat of war is the only chance of pressuring Iran into a diplomatic process, former Middle East peacemaker under the Clinton and Obama administrations, Dennis Ross, wrote in an oped in Foreign Policy magazine.
    According to Ross, Tehran no longer takes Washington seriously under President Joe Biden and the only way to remedy that is to threaten military action.
    “Unless the Iranians understand that the pathway they are on is dangerous for them, the probability of the use of force will go up,” writes Ross.
    “If the United States wants to reduce the risk of a conflict and give diplomacy a chance to succeed, the Biden administration is going to have to restore Iran’s fear of a U.S. reaction and apply pressure far more effectively,” he asserts.
    According to Ross, the Iranians took bold steps, including enriching uranium to 60% — near weapons-grade level and blocking the UN’s nuclear watchdog from accessing sites — because it knew that doing so would evoke no reaction on the part of the U.S. or the other P5+1 members of the Obama-led JCPOA.
    “And they were right—there was no consequence,” Ross writes.
