Original Mike said...: Virginia Lieutenant Governor-elect Winsome Sears, a Republican, said during an interview that aired Sunday on Fox News that voters elected her for lieutenant governor because they are sick and tired of politicians who will not let racial wounds from the past heal.

More like her, please.; 11/15/21, 6:38 PM
Big Mike said...: Is this the cafe thread? Because if it is then I want to comment on ADA Binger pointing an AR-15 at people in the courtroom with his effing finger on the effing TRIGGER!

You’d think something hideously stupid, like for instance a Wisconsin lawyer, would learn from what happened to Alec Baldwin, but NO-O-O!

No, the gun did not have a magazine in the magazine well. Does that guarantee the chamber is empty? Would you bet your life on that?

If I had been on that jury I would have dived down to the floor and screamed at the asshole to get his finger off the trigger. I also would have called him a bunch of names, of which “bastard son of a street-walking hooker” would have been among the nicest. Judge would probably have reprimanded me, and maybe even sent off for a few ights in the county jail. But really, after Alec Baldwin you’d think people would know better than to touch a trigger on any gun, but especially an “unloaded” one.; 11/15/21, 6:54 PM

Ann Althouse said...: Thanks, Kay.

I think that way too, a little. Also I have the idea of looking toward the next morning.; 11/15/21, 7:35 PM

I assume this is what ADA Binger was hoping for. I think he wanted a demonstration of how pointing a gun in someone's general direction could be seen as an extreme threat and freaked people out.; 11/15/21, 7:42 PM

According to the prosecution pointing a gun as someone is provocation, so you would have been justified in leaping out of the jury box, chasing down Binger, lunging at him, and pounding the crap out of him.

So that would be a tempting option...; 11/15/21, 8:26 PM
Drago said...: The 6:45 pic is really quite soothing.

I think we ought to send a copy of it to ADA's Little Binger and Fatlock/Sauerkraut. They are going to need it.; 11/15/21, 8:27 PM
Drago said...: More good news from the Idiot ADA Twins: Did you know:

- No one has ever really been killed by someone else's hands/feet?

- If you do not support BLM or antifa then you have no business out in public UNLESS you support those riotous mob types

- If you are out in public and a mob attacks you, well, "sometimes you just have to take a beating"

Literally.

I wonder if there are any battered women on that jury?...........; 11/15/21, 8:30 PM
Original Mike said...: Winsome said she sees her position as an opportunity to be a role model for children — a position that flies in the face of racist, Marxist-derived Critical Race Theory: “I really want others to see me, especially the children to say, ‘Well, if Winsome can do it, I can do it’. Because I didn’t do anything special except stay in school and study."

Read the whole thing. It's uplifting.; 11/15/21, 8:37 PM
Scot said...: @kay

Those are beautiful pics.

Depending on your location, sunrise is identical to sundown. This pic shows Madison across Lake Mendota. Can Lake Mendota still be seen from Lamp House?; 11/15/21, 9:38 PM

I uncovered AA's dirty little secret awhile ago...

They are sunsets (from the day before).

Owen said...: Apparently Wisconsin considers that aiming a firearm in the manner used by the prosecutor is a criminal assault. The judge should have called for his arrest. Jurors and others threatened by his assault might have a civil case? Needs research.

I am grimly amused by the fact that bozos like the prosecutor love to call the AR an “assault weapon.” When in fact it is they, waving it wildly in the faces of innocent people, who are the assault weapons.; 11/16/21, 12:02 AM
gadfly said...: There is no golden past. People in the media make mistakes. Sometimes big ones. Bigger, even, than the “narrative” on the Covington kids.

Undergirding Andrew Sullivan’s latest essay at Substack is a notion that someone ought to do something to fix the mainstream media. Unfortunately Sullivan's examples relied on incomplete information published about the Rittenhouse trial before the kid testified and some suspect actions by the WaPo to withdraw stories related to the Trump-Russian relationship, simply because Trump's Special Counsel Durham filed charges accusing (without proof) two principals in that conspiracy of lying.

As Jonathan V. Last over at Bulwark+ pointed out:

Well, we tried that. “Conservative media” in its modern incarnation—the Washington Times, Fox News, the Federalist—was created as a corrective to the endemic flaws in the mainstream media.

How’s that working out for us?

The conservative broadcast ecosystem—Fox, OAN, Newsmax, talk radio—is so untethered from reality that their legal departments occasionally force them to air libel-remedy hostage videos condemning their own “reporting.” They air anti-vaccine nonsense and false-flag theories.

The Federalist publishes snuff fantasies and COVID death-cult nonsense.

And conservative media criticism is so nakedly partisan that on occasions when conservative media makes a mistake—for instance, the Washington Examiner’s Muslim prayer-rugs-at-the-border story—the response from erstwhile “conservative media critics” was . . . [crickets].

In conservative media, there is no self-corrective outside of the legal system.

Just bury stories such as: "Sources reveal that South Dakota governor Kristi Noem, a potential 2024 VP candidate, is having an extramarital affair with former Trump campaign manager [and January 6 suspect], Corey Lewandowski."; 11/16/21, 12:46 AM

Rep. [Lance] Gooden [R, Texas]: Whistleblower exposed "secret operations" by non-profits to house and move illegal migrants

Lance Gooden
@Lancegooden
There is an ORGANIZED operation to bring illegal immigrants to the United States.

The Border Patrol is now projecting 1.8 MILLION illegal immigrant arrests in 2022.

Those who are helping illegals come to the U.S. must be STOPPED!

"...The packet his office received from the whistleblower is the same one given to the illegal migrants. Flight information, copies of the Notice to Appear from CBP, a list of pro bono legal service providers, maps of major U.S. cities, and information and legal assistance in Spanish were provided.

The packet also contained a letter from a non-profit that the migrant is told to present to TSA officials. The letter asks that the illegal migrant be allowed to board a flight with limited identification. It claims that the letter should be enough for them to be searched in the SecureFlight program.

Regular legal residents in the U.S. have to do everything but dance the Hokey Pokey to be allowed to board a flight but illegal migrants are asked to be allowed to just sashay on board with minimum identification, and often before other passengers are allowed to board. That sounds about right with this administration."

That was my thought upon seeing the picture of Binger pointing the gun with his finger on the trigger. What if somebody in the room rushed him and killed him? Now THAT would be a self-defense trial worth watching. If Binger isn’t disbarred, if not arrested, then there is something seriously wrong with how Wisconsin approaches criminal law.; 11/16/21, 5:41 AM

Engineered bat virus stirs debate over risky research Nature- 2015

Lab-made coronavirus related to SARS can infect human cells.

An experiment that created a hybrid version of a bat coronavirus — one related to the virus that causes SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) — has triggered renewed debate over whether engineering lab variants of viruses with possible pandemic potential is worth the risks.

Which is NOT what I advocate. Attacking an armed person is a good way to get yourself killed. Just ask Joseph Rosenbaum or Anthony Huber.
