A video is released showing the killing of a black man in a small Georgian town. Is the outrage warranted?

Former New Jersey governor, Chris Christy, gets a victory from the Supreme Court based on the Bridge-gate scandal.

A Texas salon owner, jailed for opening her store, is released from jail and prompts the the Texas governor to ban jail for those opening their businesses. This brings us to the real question: What is a necessary job? My girlfriend and I had a big fight over this one.

And the Michael Flynn drama is finally over. The media is flipping out.

At First Sight

Back in February, a 25-year old black man named Ahmaud Arbery was jogging through a coastal town neighborhood in Georgia.

He was stopped by three people in two cars and accused of burglury. A struggle ensued and Arbery she shot and killed. The case was investigated and, amazingly, forgotten. It was never in the news. The men were father Greg McMichael and his son, Travis McMichael.

The entire time, Arbery’s mother had claimed that her son was innocent and was murdered.

This week, a video was released of the shooting. The video shows Arbery running with a truck stopped in front of him In the bed of the truck is an older man with a handgun and the driver out of the car with a shotgun.

Arbery tried to run around the passenger side of the truck then a struggle ensued with the man wit the shot gun. Arbery ended up shot twice. The video was taken by one of the people who were there to confront Arbery.

Here is a quick look at the facts:

• One of the men was a detective and investigator for the DA of the county.
• The men claimed there were two shots when the video showed that there were three shots.
• The men claimed that they were on the side of the road when Arbery was shot when, in fact, the truck was stopped in the middle of the street, blocking Arbery’s way.
• They said they suspected Arbery in a string of burgleries in the neighborhood. According to records, there weren’t any string of robberies in the neighborhood.

This looks bad. And now that the video came out, two district attornies have recused themselves and a DA from another county has called for a grand jury. This is going to trial.

Of course, the media is making this into a race thing. It might be but we don’t know. What we do know is that the kid was running through a construction site. So what? That not a crime. I run through a lot of places when I run. And what is he going to steal?

There’s going to be more to come on this one. I have a feeling that there might be a protest or two coming in the near future as more information comes out.

As I am talking about this, the father and son who killed Arbery have been arrested and charged with murder. I guess I should have enacted to Bongino rule and waited a day.

Do You Even Remember This?

On Thursday, the Supreme Court unanimously agreed to overturn federal convictions in the infamous “Bridgegate scandal” from 2013, where two toll lanes on the George Washington Bridge were inexplicably closed, resulting in a massive traffic pile-up. Later, it was revealed that several of then-Governor Chris Christie’s allies were involved in the closure, which was allegedly enacted as a political retaliation against Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for not endorsing Christie for governor.

According to Fox News, former New Jersey officials Bridget Kelly and Bill Baroni were acquitted by the Supreme Court on federal charges of fraud for closing the George Washington Bridge. Though the court acknowledged that the lane closure was enacted for political purposes against the Fort Lee mayor, the action was not tantamount to criminal fraud in light of the fact that they were not out to obtain money or property.

“The question presented is whether the defendants committed property fraud. The evidence the jury heard no doubt shows wrongdoing – deception, corruption, abuse of power,” Justice Elena Kagan wrote in the court’s unanimous opinion. “But the federal fraud statutes at issue do not criminalize all such conduct.”

Of course, Chris Christy is calling this a major victory and an absolution of the sins of his people. It wasn’t. It was unethical and probably happened just the way it was claimed but we can’t call it fraud or corruption because mney wasn’t involved.

Who cares. New Jersey is a crappy state anyway.

Why Is Every Tyrant a Democrat?

Shelley Luther was sentenced Tuesday to a week in jail and a $7,000 fine for opening her salon in defiance of state orders, The Daily Wire reported.

Republican Governor Greg Abbott of Texas has since amended his executive orders so Texans who attempt to work against state orders will not be subject to confinement.

Finally Over

General Mike Flynn has had charges dropped by the Department of Justice.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-doj-dropping-criminal-case-against-michael-flynn

Trump releases an ad that makes CNN look bad.

California tries to eliminate more sources of income.

Tyranny is showing its ugly face in Chicago and other places.

And let’s look at when virtue signaling goes wrong.

Was It That Bad?

The Trump campaign released another video. It was heavily devastating against those who think Trump has bungled this entire Wuhan flu thing.

I don’t think he did. A lot of people think he did a good job. The polls show it.

But, CNN was not so impressed. Watch:

So CNN, which was about 5 seconds of the video, and probably will viewed by more people than their news cast is viewed by decided to sue the Trump campaign based on manipulated video and a manipulated message. They issued the following statement:

“A lawyer for CNN’s parent company WarnerMedia has written a cease-and-desist letter to President Trump’s re-election campaign over the misleading contents of a new campaign ad. WarnerMedia says the Trump ad is misusing CNN news coverage in a way that’s ‘false, misleading and deceptive.’”

But, as CNN‘s Brian Stelter explains, the network maintains that the framing and the editing of that exchange is “misleading,” giving the impression that Blitzer and Gupta are specifically referencing Trump’s travel ban rather than the broader social distancing measures recommended by his administration. Stelter reports:

The ad takes a segment from CNN’s “The Situation Room” out of context. On March 30, anchor Wolf Blitzer asked Dr. Sanjay Gupta, “Well, is it accurate that if these steps had not been put in place, the stay at home orders, the social distancing orders, as the President said yesterday, it could have been 2 million people down here in the United States?”

Gupta responded, “I mean, you know, these are all models, Wolf. It’s a little tough to say, but, you know, if you talk about something that is spreading, you know, very robustly throughout a community. You know, two to three times more contagious than flu, and up to 10 times, perhaps even more than that, more deadly than flu, then yes.”

Blitzer’s question was about “stay at home orders” and social distancing, but in the campaign ad, that portion of his question was omitted. After Blitzer and Gupta are shown on screen, the ad cuts to taped video that invokes Trump’s restrictions on travel from China, like an airport screen showing cancelled flights.

OK. Trump issued stay-at-home recommendations. He also closed the borders. What, exactly, is CNN bitching about? The stay-at-home orders, that he never issued but recommended? Really? That’s the argument?

That portion of the add was, maybe, five seconds in that minute add. And Trump should fight it. And he should point out the lawsuit. And embarrass CNN, hardly a news organization, more.

I have watch Gupta during interviews. He’s not a black-and-white guy. Blitzer asked him balck-and-white questions which Gupta didn’t answer and even became confused about. Finally, Blitzer asked a black-and-white question Gupta could answer. And he did. Done.

Here’s the thing: the other 55 seconds of the video, made up of clips from Democratic governors, is undisputed. This temper-tantrum of a lawsuit just shows the bias of CNN.

Ease Off the Creatine, Chris

Just…What?

Actress Gabrielle Union

This past February, Union and her husband, former NBA star Dwayne Wade, revealed that their 12-year-old son now identifies as a female. Appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres show on Monday, Union said that she deserves no recognition for supporting her son’s transition because all parents should love that. Ellen praised Union for having such unconditional love.

“I know this is silly to say because, you know, who doesn’t love their children unconditionally, but I guess a lot of people don’t. But it’s so amazing how supportive you’ve both been,” said Ellen, as reported by Newsbusters.

“I mean, to us, it’s a little odd to get any kind of recognition for doing what, you know, you are supposed to do, which is love and accept and embrace your kids. So it’s odd to get recognition for that,” responded Union. “But unfortunately there are so many people who just don’t. They just don’t. And so many people who really truly feel like their kids are disposable. If they’re not perfect images of them, they aren’t interested. And it’s heartbreaking. So for us, we are just doing what’s natural to us and loving her. There she is! There is our girl. Yeah, we just want happy, healthy, you know, compassionate kids.”

“Zaya is very, very lucky to have both of you as parents and it is unfortunate that a lot of people have children thinking they can mold them and make them who they want them to be and have a certain idea of what they are supposed to turn out like. But they all turn out different,” said Ellen.

“We are proud, when I say proud, we are proud parents of a child in the LGBTQ+ community, and we are proud allies, as well,” Wade said on the show.

“I think going forward I’m ready to live my truth,” Wade recalled his son telling him upon coming out as transgender. “I wanna be referenced as ‘she’ and ‘her’ and I would love for you guys to call me Zaya.”

“I watched my son, from day one, become into who she now eventually come into,” he told the “All the Smoke” podcast. “And for me … nothing changes in my love. Nothing changes in my responsibilities. So, all I had to do now is get smarter educate myself more. And that’s my job,” he continued, noting, “You want to talk about strength and courage, my 12-year-old has way more than I have. You can learn something from your kids.”

There’s More

Next week, a prime-time special version of the iconic game show “The Price Is Right” will air featuring drag queen RuPaul playing to raise money for Planned Parenthood.

Broadway World reported, “Since 2009, RuPaul has executive produced and hosted the reality competition series ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’ which airs on VH1, for which he received six Primetime Emmy Awards in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. RuPaul is the most commercially successful drag queen of all time, and in 2017 he was included in the annual Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world.”

Deadline added, “CBS aired two The Price Is Right at Night specials in December which proved to be ratings winners. David Boreanaz, Max Thieriot, Neil Brown Jr., AJ Buckley, Toni Trucks, Justin Melnick and Dita the dog from the CBS action drama SEAL Team appeared on the special and became the most-watched entertainment program of its night wile Seth Rogen was chosen to ‘come on down’ and his episode became the top broadcast of the night in viewers and all key demos.”

RuPaul  told Marie Claire magazine that his mother used to work at Planned Parenthood, stating, “Women in our culture have been so marginalized and so really beaten down. We live in a masculine-dominated culture. How dare some man tell a woman what to do with her body. That is outrageous! Outrageous. As a human, that is a big issue for me that really strikes a chord.”

Joe Biden’s accuser seems to have quite a bit more circumstantial evidence as a tape shows up showing that Tara Read has been telling people about the alleged assault.

The media keeps making the Wuhan flu into a race thing.

President Trumps is getting sued and the media tries to hide why. I actually have to talk to my immigrant girlfriend to see if I was missing time. All I needed to do was read the rest of the story to answer.

Leave it to Slate to give me a great laugh on a Sunday morning.

And could some I enjoy so much really spread COVID-19?

I Think We Hit the “Credible” Stage

I never really talked about this because these kinds of reports usually come with no evidence. In fact, they do not become news stories for decades and usually have no evidence, so I just ignore them.

But, this story, not becoming a story, has really ticked me off. And, now, it is looking credible. So my big question is: Where is everyone?

Just to catch you up with the story, Tara Reade, an aid to Joe Biden, accused Sleepy, Creepy Joe Biden of sexual assault back in the 1990s. I didn’t talk much about it because I’m tired to 30-year-old accusations being made into a big deal, even if it’s against a guy I don’t like.

But it did tick me off the the media was ignoring it. This wasn’t a groping. This was an actual sexual assault (I won’t go into the details). And, as time has past, it has become more and more credible.

And, here’s to CNN. When Brett Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault and leading a gang rape ring, with no evidence and no credible witnesses (I do not consider Blaisey Ford a credible witness, never have) and with witnesses who actually countered the accusations, CNN had 700 stories about Kavanaugh. Seven hundred stories!

Up until now, nothing about Sleepy, Creepy Joe.

First, let’s look at Reade’s circumstantial evidence. It is circumstantial. None of this means he’s guilty. In fact, I’m not even accusing Biden of being a perv (he is though). I’m complaining about something else.

• Reade immediately quit as Biden’s aid.
• Reade filed a complaint that fell on dead ears.
• Reade told her husband, mother and family and friends, explaining why she quit.
• Reade told all these people what happened and that it was Biden.
• Friends and family of Reade said she told them.
• Reade still liked Biden and that’s why she never went to the press.

Mind you, this is all circumstantial evidence. Doesn’t mean anything. But CNN never said a word about it. The other press organizations mentioned it but never investigated.

Well, CNN decided to have a report about it on April 25. That’s Saturday. Two weeks after the story came out. Why all of a sudden had CNN found God? Not because of the ethical reporting standards of CNN had become enlightened. But because Reade’s mother called in to the Larry King show…on CNN!

What a shock. CNN waited until it was pointed out that CNN already had the story. They talked about Kavanaugh 700 times. No evidence. Then CNN has evidence from their own network that make Reade’s story valid and they hide it. They wait until day before yesterday and failed to report it until then.

Listen to how the female VP prospect for Biden are reacting:

Hmm. The leading resource on new, huh?

It’s All About Race

So the LATimes reported that blacks and Hispanics are more susceptible to the Wuhan flu.

Kind of amazing. When Trump called the virus the Chinese flu, basing this statement as a condemnation of the government of China, not of the Chinese people. Let’s remember: the Chinese people suffered from the disease and the forced social distancing policies.

Well, they are still suffering. Retail stores were closed again last week. Guess it ain’t over there.

The Los Angeles Times released an article stating that more black and Hispanic people are dying between the ages of 18 and 64.

Recent deaths also reveal the major role that underlying health conditions such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes and asthma play in the amplified suffering of black and brown communities.

“None of us knew what the numbers would look like. But we know that this is going to disproportionately affect communities that have fewer resources, have higher rates of underlying disease,” said Angell. “That’s the reality of inequities in our country. It’s something that we’re working very hard to address. It’s not acceptable. It’s not just.” – Dr. Sonia Angell, director of the California Department of Public Health.

“None of us knew what the numbers would look like. But we know that this is going to disproportionately affect communities that have fewer resources, have higher rates of underlying disease,” said Angell. “That’s the reality of inequities in our country. It’s something that we’re working very hard to address. It’s not acceptable. It’s not just.”

The article goes on to bring up crap like family losing a loved on and bad America and so forth.

But the story kind of glides over a few things. Like pre-existing conditions such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease were kind of skipped.

Here are some questions I would like answered:

• How are preexisting conditions systemic?
• Are there cultural issues that are creating these preexisting conditions?
• Are there social issues causing this disease?
• Are there cultural issues that are spreading the disease? Social distancing?

None of the questions are answered.
