He detailed the story of government+media Covid censorship, along with the dramatic injunction in the Missouri v. Biden case. The discovery in that case alone, detailing how the administration used the threat of arbitrary regulatory retaliation to get tech companies to censor covid information -- along with other matters, including the Hunter Biden laptop -- is astonishing. We now know what they did, no matter what judges say about its technical legality.

Detroit synagogue president Samantha Woll found fatally stabbed outside her home
"By extending her hand and creating space for connection between Muslims and Jews, she has exemplified the values of healing the world," The Detroit Jewish News article said.

come ON rcocean! speak up!; 10/21/23, 8:01 PM

That arbitrary regulatory retaliation (sic) is a bitch. Fortunately Gym Jordan will now have time to prosecute these matters.; 10/21/23, 8:06 PM

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: Detroit synagogue president Samantha Woll found fatally stabbed…

Sad. The dark night of Islamophobia is a recurring warning from the Left, including our current despicably clueless president, yet the knife of religious hate crime always seems to fall on the neck of American Jews. May God be with Woll’s family and the entirety of her synagogue.; 10/21/23, 9:41 PM
Caroline said...: Thank you for the beauty. I look forward to it each day.; 10/21/23, 9:47 PM

Normally, i wouldn't respond. But the wife is out of town, and not much is going on, so I'm surfing the net.

Why you think anyone sticking up for an oppressed people and wanting peace and an end to bloodshed means supporting Terrorism or killing people in the USA is beyond me.
I'm not on anyone's side except the USA's side. Adams said "America doesn't go abroad searching for monsters to destroy" Washington warned us against "entangling alliances", George Marshall opposed our recognizing Israel and actually considered resigning when Truman overruled him for political reasons.

I’m not the one who supports “invade the world, invite the world. That’s “your side”. The ones who want unlimited immigration, an open border, and USA troops scattered all around the globe. Well, some of your beloved immigrants didn’t like some Jewish lady and killed her. Well, that’s what happens when you let in millions from all over the world and intervene in every conflict all over the world. Ethnic conflict and hatred.

Why couldn’t you dumbshits just look after the USA, and keep the country the way it was in 1990? We finally beat “the evil empire” and could’ve gone back to minding our own business. But No, you didn’t want that. You wanted some weird “Multicultural” “Multi-ethnic” Imperial Empire and endless foreign war and conflict. Well, as Mr. Obama’s beloved Christian pastor said “The chickens are coming home to roost”; 10/21/23, 9:54 PM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: I’m re-posting this invitation from the Gahrie thread:

To Paddy O and Howard I’m throwing out an invitation to gather in Gahrie’s name in the next few weeks. Any other althousians who are in the Inland Empire are welcome to join. Maybe we can break bread, have a laugh and remember Gahrie/Gary. I’m a San Berdoo native son preparing to flee the Golden State. But it’d be nice to put faces to the handles we use here. Kirbside is welcome too of course. Any SoCal althousians who might want to meet up please chime in.; 10/21/23, 10:05 PM

Saint Croix said...: Sex is real.

Gender is like race.

It's unreal.

Higher education is obsessed with symbols and language and is oblivious to actual humanity.

Free your mind.; 10/21/23, 11:02 PM
wildswan said...: You know, when you think about you can see that the last ten years have been nothing but a settler colonial project. Aliens came in and changed the language (pronouns, never say family words), and the customs (no free speech, people fired fired for things said in the past when they were OK) and the science (2+2=5 or something.) and so on. And why? Because they were stealing our money by working for the government or the universities and using it against us. They'd pass a motion in a committee and say it superseded the Constitution, Christianity and Science. Let's learn from oppressed of the earth: Just Say No to the Pronoun Colonialists. Decolonize Harvard.; 10/22/23, 12:06 AM
Jamie said...: Wish I could join you in San Bernardino to commemorate Gahrie! Not only would I like to share some old memories, but I too would love to put some faces with some names.; 10/22/23, 1:07 AM
Humperdink said...: When I am bored in my recliner I watch Forensics Files. Usually the murder cases are solved through forensic science, hence the name of the show. Anytime skeletal remains are discovered, the forensic scientists can quickly determine the gender of remains. At least up to this point, they have not assigned pronouns to the deceased.; 10/22/23, 5:10 AM
Howard said...: I'd love to Mike, but I'm a New Englander now. Being a Valley boy, I always had respect for you guys from the inland empire. Gahrie teaching school in Fontana, a former Steel Town, couldn't have been easy. That profession is terribly important and teachers get squeezed on all fronts while no one has their backs.

I hope you SoCal guys get together.; 10/22/23, 5:22 AM
gadfly said...: Some guy from Kentucky fiddling while the House burns.

And so it was on Friday afternoon, after Jim Jordan’s third humiliating defeat in the House, that [Jamey] Comer ran out, like a child discovering a dead frog in a gutter, waving a check.

It was a check that James Biden — the President’s brother — used to pay off a personal loan on March 1, 2018, over a year after Joe Biden left the Naval Observatory, years before Joe Biden entered the White House, and six weeks after his brother gave him that loan.

James Comer's Oversight Committee is not charged with conducting "trials by innuendo" by investigating or even mentioning transactions between private citizens at any time. Dumbass Comer is constantly scraping the shit off his clodhoppers.; 10/22/23, 5:38 AM
gilbar said...: rcocean, thanx for speaking up, but i noticed that you never actually said that you thought murdering american jews was bad
You DID ask: Why you think anyone sticking up for an oppressed people and wanting peace and an end to bloodshed means supporting Terrorism or killing people in the USA is beyond me.

But you NEVER (EVER) said that you DON'T support Terrorism of killing people in the USA.
OF course maybe to you, we WEREN'T talking about 'killing people'; we were talking about killing jews; 10/22/23, 6:05 AM
Big Mike said...: Why you think anyone sticking up for an oppressed people and wanting peace and an end to bloodshed means supporting Terrorism or killing people in the USA is beyond me.

To the extent Palestinians are oppressed, they are oppressed because of their embrace of Terrorism. To the extent that they view themselves as caged, they are caged for pretty much the same reason that dangerous animals are caged in he zoo and dangerous criminals are locked away in prisons. If you genuinely want “peace and an end to bloodshed” then the one thing you cannot do is support the Palestinians.; 10/22/23, 6:15 AM

Saint Croix said...: #2 NE defeated #1 WI in VB.

that took a google minute

NE is "Nebraska," not Northeastern. Apparently there is no school called Northeastern.

And VB is volleyball. It was Victoria Bitter when I was in Australia.

Apparently it was a good game.; 10/22/23, 7:00 AM
Brylinski said...: Just wondering who, or which group, is responsible for posting Hitler on Michigan State’s big screen before the Michigan/Michigan State football game?

Does anyone know? None of the articles I found on Google would attribute the Hitler screening.; 10/22/23, 7:12 AM
Brylinski said...: Reading the NYT story about the stabbing and murder of Synagogue President Samantha Woll in Detroit, the story notes that she was a Democrat activist and a political director for Michigan State Attorney General Dana Nessel, campaign manager for State Senator Stephanie Chang, and a staffer for U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin. She was also “instrumental” in founding the Muslim-Jewish Forum of Detroit.

Detroit Police Chief James E. White cautioned against drawing conclusions.

Meanwhile, Hitler made an appearance at the Michigan State Spartan football game in East Lansing, Michigan.; 10/22/23, 7:29 AM
Big Mike said...: I was traveling (12 hour flight) and de-jetlagging most of yesterday, and only this morning saw that Jim Jordan will not be Speaker of the House. Apparently Matt Gaetz thought he could play kingmaker — the fate of Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick and the original Kingmaker should have given him pause.

Now what?; 10/22/23, 8:00 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: Thank you Howard. Bummer we missed each other out here. I appreciate your input.; 10/22/23, 8:05 AM

After the terrorism has registered in its horror, then one wonders what the immigration status will turn out to be on any suspects that may be arrested.; 10/22/23, 9:02 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: This looks to be another example of “we welcome your support now die you filthy Jew.”; 10/22/23, 10:31 AM
Goldenpause said...: Let’s let law enforcement go about solving the crime. The fact that the deceased is prominent should discourage attempts to obfuscate if the facts don’t fit the left wing narrative. No telling where this might lead, so resist the temptation to go with “the usual suspects “ until we know more. And we are still waiting for release of the Nashville trans manifesto, so my hopes for the truth are tempered by experience.; 10/22/23, 6:52 PM
