[Happy Saint Paddy’s Day! Putin won this Sunday’s election in Russia, giving him another six years (at least) in power with a mandate to insure the resurgence of the Russian Empire. He will now be the longest ruling Russian leader. The west trembles. gjr]

Makes total sense:
“The opinion came in the case of Keith Rodney Moore, a Black driver with a prior felony conviction who was pulled over in Highland Park in Richmond on Dec. 5, 2020.
Officers found a gun in Moore’s car and charged him with felony possession. Moore, who is Black, argued that his case should be dismissed on the basis that the department selectively stops Black people, leading to his current charges.”
Proof?
“U.S. District Court Judge John A. Gibney Jr. ruled in Moore’s favor, finding that “Black drivers have a problem in Richmond, Virginia,” and that he presented abundant evidence to that effect, including six months worth of stop data from the latter half of 2020. In that dataset, the Richmond police officers were far more likely to stop a Black driver than a white one.”
But zero proof that the drivers were stopped BECAUSE they were Black.
I guess it’s the privilege of the luxury of a wealthy society that allows us to ignore reality for as long as we have.
Marie Antoinette was truly unaware of the reality surrounding her.

OK – I admit I’m piling on, but at what point does society start to see the writing on the wall?
“California currently faces a daunting $73 billion deficit for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
In response, the Democratic legislature has proposed cutting this year’s budget by $2.1 billion and plans to spend $12 billion, or half the state’s rainy day fund, to address this deficit.”
So CA is facing a 73B deficit and the leg is planning to deal with only a fifth of the problem?
You know – there’s a lot of people that deal with their problems with just a fifth. A day.

Serpent head is right on this one but we can be sure they wont listen to him –
Carville: ‘Too many preachy females’ are ‘dominating the culture of the Democratic Party’
“A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females…’don’t drink beer, don’t watch football, don’t eat hamburgers, this is not good for you,’” he said. “The message is too feminine: ‘Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.’”
“If you listen to Democratic elites — NPR is my go-to place for that — the whole talk is about how women, and women of color, are going to decide this election. I’m like: ‘Well, 48 percent of the people that vote are males. Do you mind if they have some consideration?” Carville said.
When it comes to Biden’s low approval ratings, Carville quipped, “When I look at these polling numbers, it’s like walking in on your grandma naked. You can’t get the image out of your mind.”
According to a Gallup poll released last month, Democrats’ lead in Black American’s party preferences has fallen 20 points in the past three years, while their lead among Hispanic adults is at its lowest point since 2011.

One thing about Bibles that always made me laugh was all the hullaballoo in days of yore about translations to local languages.
Naturally, it was to be read in the ‘original’ Latin, lmao.
On the other hand, there are genuinely old stories in the Old Testament, so it really has a high value. Per John Romer, the origins of Noah and the Ark (including Arrarat), that exact version, can be traced back to language called Hurrian. A man named Nahmizuli (the first three letters spell ‘Noah’ in Hebrew) had the same adventures. Very cool, although it might be more manly to retell the tales of Gilgamesh and Enkidu.
You do have to wonder what the modern Left’s founding documents will end up being. I’d say that Communism is mostly off the table due to the heavy emphasis on race and various perversions. They really do need to get cracking as it’s easy for a mob to just faaaade away. Bolshevism gave us the GULAG, but I’m not sure what Ibram ‘X.’ Kendi and Grand Admiral Levine have in mind.
As far as Trump is concerned, it’s best to just view him as a munition rolled into a room of Super Villains. Whatever happens is better than the current trajectory.

I thought I’d check on doings down in Pridetown, and the local paper sez:
“Councilmembers in Nevada City will consider approving an agreement with the Consensus Building Institution (CBI) for the facilitation of a community conversation or workshop to help encourage a peaceful community.
The topic of the community conversation would address Islamophobia, Anti Semitism, and the role of local government in providing a safe and peaceful community in consideration of the on-going human tragedy in Israel and Palestine.
The decisions to call for the workshop and to approve of the $29,705 proposed for the scope of work from CBI will be on the agenda for this week’s city council meeting slated for Wednesday, March 28 beginning at 6:30 p.m.”
wait, wut?
“The decisions to call for the workshop and to approve of the $29,705 proposed for the scope of work ”
one more time with feeling.
“to approve of the $29,705”
lol. Like Dexter Gordon says in the movie ‘Round Midnight’, ‘they’re always paying the wrong people in this world’.
later in the story:
“The costs will be assumed by the City, however some of that cost may be recovered by other entities participating in the conversion, such as the City of Grass Valley and other stakeholders, who will be included in the proposed half-day session in April.”
This, my people, is Genius.
