[With today’s signing of the trillion plus ‘infrastructure bill’ the Democrat perfidy is made visible.  The bill contain1s so little (about $100B) for actually fixing roads, bridges, etc that municipalities are not prepared to issue massive new amounts of municipal bonds – usually a jurisdiction’s ‘matching funds’ to garner federal subsidies.  Therefore, the outstanding tax-free municipal bond prices are rising and their yields falling.  The infrastructure bill is yet another Biden travesty that misses the mark as the feds (the Fed) continue printing new money.  So the question stands – name ONE thing that Bumblebrain has done right.  gjr]

    Looks like the dem running to be the next AZ gov has a discrimination verdict problem that should cause the woken to shun her –
    Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Katie Hobbs is trying to climb her way out of a hole that is beginning to look like a political grave.
    On Thursday, Hobbs finally spoke about the firing of Talonya Adams, a Black woman who won her federal discrimination lawsuit last week after being fired from her job as a House Democratic analyst while Hobbs was House minority leader.
    The hole only got deeper.
    Hobbs did, at least, acknowledge that she played a role in Adams’ 2015 firing. That is certainly better than last week’s statement from her campaign, blaming it all on Republicans.
    But Hobbs also insisted on Thursday there were good reasons to fire Adams that had nothing to do with race or gender. Yet two years ago, she publicly apologized to Adams and lamented that she hadn’t been a “stronger ally”.
    Hobbs cites ‘other factors’ but won’t elaborate
    Now she says there was a pattern of issues with Adams’ performance.
    “I can say with certainty on my part, my decision in the termination was not based on race or gender,” she told Arizona Mirror’s Jeremy Duda. “There were other factors.”
    She just won’t tell us what those factors are, reasoning that she could be sued since they apparently didn’t come up at trial. Curiously, she also told Duda that she doesn’t want the state to appeal the jury’s verdict.
    Make that, the second jury’s verdict.

    Glancing at Drudge Report for the first time in a year or so, I did like this article on Life In Blue Mob America:
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10226225/WATCH-Portland-police-cornered-garage-protesters-riots-Kyle-Rittenhouse-verdict.html
    But I was mostly struck by the smash ‘n grab looteries going on as the usual suspects are off to exercising their free speech rights and getting theirs from The Man. (Nordstrom in Walnut Creek, Louis Vuitton in SF fer two). It got me to thinking. Just how will the normalization of street crime as essentially legal change the layout of luxury good stores, kind of an economic geography problem.
    . Increase number and quality of surveillance devices. Probably not useful as the looters are in cahoots with Blue Mob DA offices.
    . Much higher degree of passive defense. Change store construction materials and layout to make it more difficult to steal, a kind of retail version of so-called ‘hostile architecture’.
    . Yet more move to internet sales, too bad for city centers.
    . (My favorite) Push for made-to-order luxury goods. I just can’t see a bunch of Cadillac SUVs and BMWs roaring up to the tailor or leathergoods shops to steal industrial sewing machines and bolts of cloth. Maybe we could reintroduce excellence in handwork and move away from Chinese (or Italian filled with Chinese workers) sweatshops.

    Me too. It’s not the post verdict violence that grabs me as much as the smack and grab (pun intended’ that leaves me more in shock. I was shocked when the smash and grabs teenage hordes descended on a mall in Chicago a few years ago. 3-4 years ago, maybe. Pre-pandemic period.
    I feeling I got reading about 80 robbers jumping out of 25 cars and blocking the street, racing in, and literally the place along with the cleaning out Walnut Creek ….and add the Louie Vuitton store demoralized me. WTF has happened to the Q of L? Respect for other people’s stuff? Lord of the Flies. Societal Breakdown…which is just another example to add to the long record at RRs. Our theme, if you will,

    https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/San-Francisco-Union-Square-Louis-Vuitton-robbery-16637562.php
    Have noticed some issues before the pandemic started have re-e emerged. Issues that were bubbling up to the surface with the temperature rising that took a break during the worse epidemic in 100 years. They’re backkkkkk.
    The smash and grab is back. My temperature rose reading about the concerns of Latino parents in some densely populated Hispanic majority South LA area school districts quite upset with their school boards pushing the trans agenda on their children in school w/ cries about blow jobs and corn holing and indecency being rammed down their throats. Biggest insult from the parents’ POV is how the board dismissed them out of hand.
    When the board would have public comments, a woke to the max select activist from other district’s board was the speaker at the cram-packed auditorium meeting who spent the time blabbing away all the minutes save a few. Teachers Union’s board members disguised as parents where called on first in the remaining few minutes of public comment to run out the clock.
    The tale above was just one of stories that had my temperature rising at the time. A school district in eastern San Diego County, a place in the Central Valley and the tactics of packing the audience with teacher union board members and the big “we know what is best for your kids education” middle finger. Now Loudoun County, VA is the current flash point…..at least the latest poster boy that speaks for millions.
    The greatest thing about the pre-lockdown hoards of normally non-activist parents descending at the local school board meetings was a protest sign that caught my attention and got me quite interested in the topic: “Democrats Do Not Care About Immigrants” it read, held up by a Hispanic woman with baby on hip. One of several. 🙂

    ‘Amid bias rebuke, FBI raids homes of GOP election clerk, conservative activists in Colorado’
    FBI raids on Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters and Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert’s former campaign manager follow those earlier this month on conservative journalists associated with Project Veritas.
    “Even as the Department of Justice Inspector General released a report this week criticizing the politicization of the department, the FBI on Tuesday raided the homes of a Republican election official and several of her associates in Mesa County, Colo., in connection with a dispute about efforts to preserve 2020 election files.
    In collaboration with state and county law enforcement, the FBI raided the homes of Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters, Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert’s former campaign manager Sherronna Bishop, and two others.
    The FBI operations targeting skeptics of the 2020 election results follow the bureau’s raids earlier this month on the homes of conservative guerrilla journalist James O’Keefe and several of his associates with Project Veritas.
    Numerous elected officials, reporters, and the American Civil Liberties Union have voiced their concerns about potential infringement of press freedom by the FBI and Justice Department in the O’Keefe raid. These fears were exacerbated when information collected in the raid was published in the New York Times, which has been defending itself against a lawsuit filed by Project Veritas.
    The DOJ’s inspector general released a report this week rebuking the department for straying from its own policies on avoiding the appearance of political bias.“

    PEAK WOKE: NO TRIGGERS ALLOWED
    One of the dumbest aspects of today’s academia is the “trigger warning,” where students are alerted to the possibility that what they are about to read may be traumatic. Traumatic, I take it, to people who are pathologically unable to cope, which evidently is the standard in today’s universities. But now England’s Warwick University has gone one better. It has stopped using the phrase “trigger warning” because triggers are…triggering:
    A university has scrapped the term ‘trigger warning’ because it fears its use alone could upset snowflake students.
    “Warwick University has deemed the phrase too ‘provocative’ for those on its literature and drama courses and is instead now using the term ‘content notes’.

    in reply to a Freedom of Information request, it has revealed: ‘”Trigger warnings” are now referred to as “content notes” due to the word “trigger” being itself a provocative word.’
    Because, where do you find triggers? In guns.
    We can only hope that it is university administrators, and not the youth of today’s Western world, who are hopelessly incompetent to deal with reality.

    “Keep the trains running on time and fix the potholes,” is what is on people’s minds where the rubber meets the road down on the ground closer to the stink.
    Virginia is a good example. One year the Governor of Virginia hiked the DMV fees for registering one’s vehicles. It became the central election issue and the governor was defeated for re-election. The media was dumbfounded per SOP.
    Remember when some banks charging ATM fees? Oh, the national outrage erupted. A 50 cent of two dollar charge got ‘the people’s’ hackles going big time. Dovetailed with OWS in New York City.
    In Washington State they tried to raise DMV fees, but because of that state’s laws, it went to a referendum vote. Defeated, but not deterred, the government of the state found a work around. When someone buys a used car or it is gifted to them or an elderly neighbor sells you her good running car because she doesn’t drive anymore for say, $50O-$800, the WA DMV now taxes you on the Blue Book value of the vehicle, not the purchase price….or which ever is greater. They are going to squeeze blood out of the yokel turnips if is the last thing they do. If you need to hide something, bury it in a law or addendum to a bureaucrat regulation. Enough of that letting the people decide.
    All that to say is it not recommended to underestimate the Biden caused inflation at the pump. Puts folks in a disturbed mood and hurts the poor and those living paycheck to paycheck the most, including the soccer moms and the Sweet Baby Gang.

    Yup, Biden is done. Light’s are on, but no one is home.

    “President Biden appeared to read technical instructions from his teleprompter during a Tuesday speech about rising gas prices.
    “Because of the actions we’ve taken, things have begun to change,” Biden said.
    “End of quote,” Biden added before moving on to his next sentence.”
    I’m sure Emery would find Biden fully competent.
    Emery was real good at claiming Trump was mentally deficient.

    Did they hire the dumbest rocks or what?! –
    A reporter who was present for her remarks asked the energy secretary, “How many barrels of oil does the U.S. consume per day?”
    “I don’t have that number in front of me. Sorry,” Granholm replied.
    Biden Energy Sec. Granholm admits she does not know U.S. oil consumption rate when pressed by reporter
    The reporter told Granholm that according to those numbers, the administration would be releasing “less than three days worth of supply from the Petroleum Reserve.”

    Lets be glad Manchin has been listening to his voters –
    About 63 percent of West Virginia voters said they do not support the amnesty plan, while about 31 percent said they do support the plan. Large majorities across racial lines said they oppose the amnesty, including 74 percent of Hispanics, 71 percent of black Americans, and 62 percent of white Americans.
    The amnesty plan is especially opposed by West Virginia swing voters. About 66 percent said they do not support the plan, while only 25 percent said they do.
    In addition, 65 percent of West Virginia voters said they would be less likely to vote for Manchin or other politicians who support the amnesty in the Build Back Better Act.
    About 63 percent of West Virginia voters said they are opposed to the policy and 72 percent do not want chain migration extended to illegal aliens who would be eligible for the amnesty plan included in the Build Back Better Act.
    Majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and swing voters in West Virginia said they are opposed to chain migration.
    The poll comes as similar polling has shown that Arizona likely voters are mostly opposed to the amnesty plan. Support from Manchin, who is facing reelection in 2024, along with Sens. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) is vital to Biden’s Build Back Better Act.
