Says the disgusting Kamala Harris (no matter how much clown makeup they put on her) about Senile Joe Biden’s plan to call on the 50 governors to mandate mask wearing for all people “outside.”
And they say Hunter is the crack zombie.

Jim Bovard in the Daily Caller: Can Ending ‘Endless Wars’ Save Trump’s Presidency?
Four years ago, Donald Trump electrified campaign audiences by denouncing “Trigger Happy Hillary” Clinton. Trump bragged in 2016 that his advisers knew “how to avoid the endless wars we are caught in now” but he has yet to deliver on what many voters believed was his most important campaign promise. Can he revive his faltering reelection bid by boldly withdrawing American troops from much of the world?
Patrick M. Rose Boston Police Union Leader is Child Rapist
Patrick M. Rose, a former president of the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association, was ordered held on $100,000 bail Thursday on charges that he sexually assaulted a girl on “multiple occasions” from when she was about 7 to about 12 years old.
Rose pleaded not guilty at his arraignment before Judge Kathleen Coffey in the West Roxbury Division of Boston Municipal Court. For most of the hearing, he kept his back to the courtroom and wore a mask and blue plastic gloves, and held one hand over the right side of his face.
Prosecutor Audrey Mark said, “There is a need for high bail. This is an extremely serious case. The allegations are quite heinous.” …
Suffolk District Attorney Rachael Rollins said outside the courthouse that the allegations put Rose’s conduct as a police officer into question, including arrests he made and his encounters with minors.
“We don’t want any preferential treatment,” she said. “We are going to be looking deeply into this because this is a broken trust.”
Coffey set various conditions if Rose does make bail, including that he must stay away from the victim, have no unsupervised contact with children younger than 16, undergo GPS monitoring, and surrender his passport, firearms, and license to carry firearms.
“I think we all recognize this is a very sad and serious case,” Coffey said. “Most importantly, most importantly, the gentleman needs to surrender all firearms and the license to carry so future purchases can’t be made.”
Coffey slated the next hearing in Rose’s case for Sept. 10.
A police report filed in court alleges that Rose sexually assaulted the victim, who is now 14, on “multiple occasions and diverse dates.”
Rose faces a total of nine charges: including one count of aggravated rape of a child and five counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14.

Who’s Sick of the ‘Zombie Reply?’
On the day Hugh Hefner died I posted a picture on Twitter with a quote in which he puts forth the idea that we own our minds and bodies, and for church or state to attempt to limit that, is inappropriate. A random Tweeter deduced from the comment that if “his own mind dictated to him that he build a foundry on HIS property and it poisoned the area that would be perfectly fine.” Mind you he’d be poisoning himself as well but…
This is the type of reply you come to expect when you wake up to the fact that you were born to be free of rulers and pursue what makes you happy. When you get vocal about it, these types of responses become typical.
The meme above addresses one of the most essential natural rights that you possess: the right to be left alone, or privacy. I remind you that it has nothing to do with a magical piece of paper and only you can defend it. A typical response when it comes to privacy, which the government says you must give up for the sake of “safety,” is clear in the meme. Even if you’re not doing something wrong, do you want someone constantly looking over your shoulder?
Matt Taibbi and the New Russiagate Whistleblower
Taibbi’s new piece is called: “Our Man in Cambridge.” It’s about Stephen Halper’s assistant, Steven P. Schrage, who has now written this new piece, “The Spies Who Hijacked America.”
Update: Steven Schrage’s interview with Maria Bartiromo:
The Police Lie All The Time. Can Anything Stop Them?
Mark Joseph Stern at Slate. The bureaucratic state passes laws that make it easy for cops to stop anyone at anytime for minor offences. The system incentives cops to lie and protects them from scrutiny. It is so bad that DA offices are keeping secret databases of unreliable police officers that they won’t allow to testify in court cases.
This tendency to lie pervades all police work, not just high-profile violence, and it has the power to ruin lives. Law enforcement officers lie so frequently—in affidavits, on post-incident paperwork, on the witness stand—that officers have coined a word for it: testilying. Judges and juries generally trust police officers, especially in the absence of footage disproving their testimony. As courts reopen and convene juries, many of the same officers now confronting protesters in the street will get back on the stand.
Defense attorneys around the country believe the practice is ubiquitous; while that belief might seem self-serving, it is borne out by footage captured on smartphones and surveillance cameras. Yet those best positioned to crack down on testilying, police chiefs and prosecutors, have done little or nothing to stop it in most of the country. Prosecutors rely on officer testimony, true or not, to secure convictions, and merely acknowledging the problem would require the government to admit that there is almost never real punishment for police perjury.
Officers have a litany of incentives to lie, but there are two especially powerful motivators. First, most evidence obtained from an illegal search may not be used against the defendant at trial under the Fourth Amendment’s exclusionary rule; thus, officers routinely provide false justifications for searching or arresting a civilian. Second, when police break the law, they can (in theory) suffer real consequences, including suspension, dismissal, and civil lawsuits. In many notorious testilying cases, including Parham’s, officers blame the victim for their own violent behavior in a bid to justify disproportionate use of force. And departments will reward officers whose arrests lead to convictions with promotions.
Neighbor Colludes With Cops To Kill Man
Ryan Whitacker was shot and killed by Phoenix police on May 22, 2020 after a neighbor called in a noise complaint. The neighbor didn’t just call the cops and complain about the noise, he told the 911 dispatcher “It could be physical”.
Eric July writes: “A neighbor called the police about a noise complaint. The neighbor was just answereing the questions from the dispathcer fast because he was annoyed and wanted it dealt with. In the 911 call he says “it could be physical. I could say yeah if that makes anyone hurry on up. Get anybody here faster.” So he was willing to make it sound like there was domestic violence, but there wasn’t. He simply wanted the noise to stop because he needed to get to work in the morning.”
It turns out Ryan and his girlfriend were just making salsa and playing games.

This killing follows the shooting of James Porter Garcia who was shot by Phoenix police in the driveway of a friends house after a neighbor reported a man had stabbed him.
“It sounded like a war had broken out in front of my house,”
“According to police, someone called 911 about 1 p.m. Saturday to report that a man who had tried to kill him a week before had returned, threatening to harm him. The caller said he was hospitalized after the man stabbed him a week before. Police arrived in the area of the 5600 block of West Glenrosa Ave., which is north of Indian School Road and west of 55th Avenue. Officers talked to the 911 caller “who pointed out a specific home where he said the stabbing suspect was,” police said in a news release on Saturday. Police talked to “several people including a man inside of the vehicle in the driveway,” said the spokeswoman, Mercedes, in the YouTube video. “Officers talked to the man for approximately 10 minutes, asking him to leave his car so they could secure the scene. He refused and eventually rolled up the windows and pulled out a gun,” she said. “Officers ordered the man to drop the gun but he refused. The man repeatedly told officers to shoot him and lifted the gun toward officers. That’s when two officers fired their weapons.”
There was no indication from the police that Garcia had anything to do with the stabbing incident.
