Rep Thomas Massie On GOP Amendment To End War In Afghanistan

“A defense bill amendment to repeal authority for military force that has been in place since right after 9-11, effectively expediting plans for a full withdrawal and ending America’s longest war.”

Massie states the biggest obstacle may be that Democrat House Leader Nancy Pelosi will not allow it to come up for a vote.

The Government of Louisville, Kentucky is at War Against Its Population

Here their paramilitary SWAT team accosts a house painter, his girlfriend and her 10-year-old daughter because they are so crazy and stupid they raided the same house twice, the second time weeks after successfully arresting the guy they were looking for, who was still sitting in jail at the time of the second raid.

I have an idea:

How about the Louisville BLM movement, which is doing great work targeting the DA to pressure him over holding Breonna Taylor’s murderers accountable now head over to the judge’s house? I bet his wife would just love to welcome 5,000 young black protesters over for tea and cookies.

How about from now on, every time a paramilitary SWAT team raids a civilian home in America, all the protesters head straight over to the home of the judge who signed the warrant, occupy the lawn, bother the hell out of the neighbors and let them know that they will never live happy lives again until they resign their office? Night raids would be over and banned in a month.

This I think would be especially noteworthy due to the fact that holding judges to account for violations of people’s rights is absolutely unheard of and will sound shocking and surprising to people when they hear the idea for the first time. But why in the world should judges be above accountability for crimes committed under their authority? How could anyone defend such a state of affairs? So I think it could be a point very well made.

Focus. Focus. Eye on the ball. (I know easy for me to say, but I really do wish you the best of success against these crazed killers.)

87 people Arrested At Breonna Taylor Protest

From CBS News 

“In total, 87 people were arrested,” LMPD said in their statement. “Due to their refusal to leave the property and their attempts to influence the decision of the Attorney General with their actions, each person was charged with Intimidating a Participant in a Legal Process (Class D felony), Disorderly Conduct 2nd Degree (Class B misdemeanor), and Criminal Trespass 3rd Degree. (Violation).”

Cameron said his office will “continue with a thorough and fair investigation” into Taylor’s death and said the protest “will not alter our pursuit of the truth.”

“The stated goal of today’s protest at my home was to ‘escalate,'” Cameron added. “That is not acceptable and only serves to further division and tension within our community. Justice is not achieved by trespassing on private property, and it’s not achieved through escalation. It’s achieved by examining the facts in an impartial and unbiased manner. That is exactly what we are doing and will continue to do in this investigation.”

U.S. Navy is a Joke

Their obsolete-before-they’re-even-made new aircraft carriers don’t work worth a damn.

Meanwhile the carrier reduced to slag in San Diego was meant to host the marines’ F-35, whose vertical takeoff mode burns holes right through the decks of other carriers.

Don’t worry though. The experts insist you just have to believe harder for a little longer.

Commissar Weiss Quits the Times

Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton remind us that Bari Weiss made her entire career trying to silence Palestinians and those who care about them.

However, they suspect that she only quit to drum up publicity for her next big project which will surely be about how the only reason anyone would ever criticize Israel is because they’re gay or hate themselves or Jews or some nonsense.

Credit to the social justice crybaby mob if they really did force her out. Picking on someone with, uh, actual power for a change is a good look.

NYT Still Joking Around About Dead Americans in Afghanistan

Do they have editors at this paper anymore, or it’s all just pre-packaged in Langley?

In an article about three marines who should have never been in Afghanistan in the first place getting killed there in a suicide truck bombing last year, they 1 try to push their Russian bounties hoax some more, while 2 admitting that they’ve got no case to make even though this is their 9th or 10th article in a series on this obvious lie:

“American intelligence agencies are investigating whether that car bomb was detonated at the behest of a Russian military agency paying bounties to Afghan militia groups for killing American troops. Such a possibility, if true, would be a staggering repudiation of Mr. Trump’s yearslong embrace of President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. Thus far, there is no conclusive evidence linking the deaths to any kind of Russian bounty.”

Yeah, yeah. “If true”; the story of the last four years of Russiagate lies in two words.

They then helpfully remind us:

The investigation into the deaths of the three Marines continues. Although Mr. Trump has dismissed the suspected Russian payments as “fake news,” Congress has begun hearings into the matter. Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that while the government so far lacks proof that any Russian bounties caused specific military casualties, “we are still looking.”

As that famous liar Donald Rumsfeld said about Iraq’s unconventional weapons, “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” Good enough for the newspaper of record, of course.
