Limited time for news this morning: 

California sues Huntington Beach over voter ID law as state pushes back on conservative locality

Notice the pull quote used for this article: 

 “The right to freely cast your vote is the foundation of our democracy and Huntington Beach’s voter ID policy flies in the face of this principle,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

Note the impressive slippery slide in the language. Before it was about removing barriers to voting. Now it's being framed as the "right to freely cast your vote."

One more, to again document how Biden has this great ability to f*ck everything up: 

Biden plans to kill project that could end China’s dominance on minerals needed for green energy

I can't stand most of these green energy products, but doing anything to break China's hold on resources is a good thing.

Joke of the day.

How does a non-binary person kill someone.

They slash them.

Nothing from the list of what they are currently doing, that's for sure.

In #6 Occasional Reader said: Joe Biden's uncle who was eaten by cannibals

He wasn't "eaten by cannibals."  The natives invited him to dinner and they opened up a can o' balls.

13 Dems vote against resolution condemning Iran after Israel strike

I think such "opinion" votes are stupid as F. Waste of everyone's time. This votes have no effect on anything.

On the up side it does let us know who the evil terrorist's member suckers are in Congress.

No surprises on that list, of course.

Small bits of sanity.

Google fires 28 workers in aftermath of protests over tech deal with Israeli government

NYPD at Columbia University disperses, removes zip-tied anti-Israel protesters

I'm seeing more reports of road blockers being arrested.

"Arrested" is nice.  Now, let's do "vigorously prosecuted".

I'd also like to see those who block roads get full RICO act prosecution, and have to pay damages.

That would put a dent in those funding them.

But the people behind the funding have political pull and it won't happen.
