ITEM 1: KDVR-Denver reported, "The FBI office in Denver said Sunday there is no reason to believe the Maven Hotel incident was connected to terrorism or a threat directed at the All-Star Game.
"Although police sources did confirm to FOX31 they found 16 long guns, body armor and more than 1,000 rounds of ammo at the scene, FBI Denver tweeted that they are not aware of any threat to the All-Star Game events, venues, players or the community at this time."
Earlier, The Denver Channel reported, "Police feared a Las Vegas-style shooting during the All-Star Game in Denver after receiving a tip from a housekeeper working at a hotel not far from Coors Field. The hotel employee discovered more than a dozen weapons and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition inside one of the rooms Friday night."
Once again, the 24 Hour Rule on police reports proved prudent.
The story, however. marked the first time the media mentioned the killing of 60 people and the wounding of another 411, while causing a panic that injured another 400 people.
Gun control advocates haven't tried to exploit the tragedy.
Unlike George Floyd, none of the victims were given 3 nationally televised funerals during a time when large crowds were banned during a pandemic,
Maybe it was because the nearly 900 people injured or killed were attending a country music festival.
Anyway, police arrested three men and a woman: Richard Platt, 42; Gabriel Rodriguez, 48; Ricardo Rodriguez, 44; and Kanoelehua Serikawa, 43.
ITEM 2: The Wall Street Journal reported, "Americans should brace themselves for several years of higher inflation than they’ve seen in decades, according to economists who expect the robust post-pandemic economic recovery to fuel brisk price increases for a while.
"Economists surveyed this month by The Wall Street Journal raised their forecasts of how high inflation would go and for how long, compared with their previous expectations in April.
"The respondents on average now expect a widely followed measure of inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy components, to be up 3.2% in the fourth quarter of 2021 from a year before. They forecast the annual rise to recede to slightly less than 2.3% a year in 2022 and 2023.
"That would mean an average annual increase of 2.58% from 2021 through 2023, putting inflation at levels last seen in 1993."
Nonsense.
The White House assured me that barbecues are 16 cents this summer.
I am holding 20 of them. With the money I save, I may be able to afford a gallon of gasoline by Labor Day.
(sings) Unhappy days are here again. They doubled the price of beer again...
ITEM 3: Scripps-Howard announced, "Zaila Avant-garde, a 14-year-old speller from New Orleans, is the champion of the 2021 Scripps National Spelling Bee."
She was the first black pupil to win the contest in its 93 years.
She was homeschooled.
Over the weekend, I posted, "Black parents embrace homeschooling."
The results speak for themselves.
ITEM 4: So, you believe private schools are safe.
The Blaze reported, "Two Ohio mothers vocal against critical race theory from being taught at the private school their children attend are claiming school has retaliated against their children for speaking out about the school’s alleged foray progressive ideologies.
"Andrea Gross and Amy Gonzalez claim that Columbus Academy—which WSYX-TV called 'one of the most well-known private schools in Ohio'—expelled their children after they began rallying other parents against far-left ideologies like CRT and anti-conservative bias."
Work within the system, they told Bill Ayers and other violent radicals. Oh, they did. Boy, did they.
ITEM 5: Kane at Citizen Free Press reported, "Angry mob swarms outside U.S. embassy in Haiti… Developing."
Fee, Fie, Foe, Fum.
I smell the work of the Clintons.
ITEM 6: Zero Hedge reported, Lake County Illinois, has already posted online the rules for the Vax Patrol.
The rules include, "Inform, don’t convince. Your job is to equip the person at the door with the information/resources they need to make an informed decision about their health. You are not trying to convince anyone to do something they don’t want to do.
"Ignore no soliciting signs. You're not soliciting! You're offering critical information and resources. What you are doing is not illegal."
Not illegal is not the same as legal.
Looks like the Vax Patrol will line many a Democrat pocket as they put their unemployable nephews and friends on the payroll for awhile to solicit -- excuse me, inform -- people to get vaccinated.
Face it, Biden is running a criminal enterprise.
ITEM 7: Deutsche Welle reported, "Pope Francis greeted well-wishers on Sunday from the 10th floor balcony of his hospital room where he is recovering from major intestinal surgery.
"The pope, 84, stood for 10 minutes on the balcony of his special suite at Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome, and thanked the crowd of at least 200 supporters for their prayers."
Pope Benedict XVI. Tanned, rested, and ready.
ITEM 8: Deadline reported, "The billionaire has landed.
"'It was the complete experience of a lifetime,' said a beaming Richard Branson of his trek into space, a place where no billionaire has gone before. 'Now looking down at the spaceport, congratulations to everybody for creating such a beautiful plane and all the hard work for getting us this far.'
"Branson’s rocket was released at an altitude of 53 miles — further than the 50-mile boundary considered by the US to be the boundary of space. The crew then had a few minutes of weightlessness before returning to earth."
Jeff Bezos plans to go 62 miles.
That's nice.
60 years ago, Alan Shepard became the first American in space, traveling 116 miles above the Earth.
ITEM 9: Elon Musk plans to go in space too.
If electric cars are the future for us paupers, why doesn't he go into space with electric rockets?
I mean other than climate change is a scam designed to end private car ownership.
ITEM 10: Axios reported, "A growing number of Democrats are ringing the alarm that their party sounds — and acts — too judgmental, too sensitive, too woke to large swaths of America.
"Why it matters: These Democrats warn that by jamming politically correct terms or new norms down the throats of voters, they risk exacerbating the cultural wars — and inadvertently helping Trumpian candidates.
"Top Democrats confide that they're very aware of the danger. Already, we've seen a widespread pullback in the defund-the-police rhetoric."
It wasn't rhetoric.
It was bad policy that killed thousands in the past year, most of them black men.
ITEM 11: The New York Post reported, "Thousands of Cubans took to the streets Sunday in protest of the country’s food shortages and high prices amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"The anti-government protest in the capital of Havana lasted about 2 ½ hours before it was broken up when a few protesters tossed cobblestones at police, leading to several arrests."
Don't try this in the USA because you may get shot and killed, or arrested for a minor crime and kept in solitary confinement for months.
ITEM 12: Just the News reported, "Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul says he intends to introduce legislation to scuttle the ongoing federal mask mandate for air travel once the Senate resumes its next session. "
What does he know?
He's just a medical doctor.
Trust only news anchors and PolitiFact on this issue.
ITEM 13: The Western Journal reported. "For many fans at the UFC fight Saturday in Las Vegas, there was only one big winner, regardless of what happened inside the caged octagon.
"Former President Donald Trump drew a hero’s welcome from fans who had come to see the fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier.
"Trump entered T-Mobile Arena through the fighter tunnel before the welterweight bout that took place between Gilbert Burns and Stephen Thompson that immediately preceded the main attraction, according to USA Today."
Great.
Without Donald Trump hosting UFC bouts years ago when no one else would, there would be no UFC.
ITEM 14: The Hill reported, "Pro-Trump candidates are racing to launch gubernatorial campaigns across the country, posing a test for the former president’s political brand in a number of key states going into 2022.
"Over the July 4 holiday weekend, former GOP Chairman Allen West became the second primary challenger against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), while Republican Geoff Diehl announced he was running for governor in Massachusetts, potentially sparking a challenge against Gov. Charlie Baker (R), who has yet to announce whether he is running for another term.
"Meanwhile, in Maine, former Gov. Paul LePage (R) formally announced his campaign for a third term as governor, while Republican Dan Cox jumped into the gubernatorial race in Maryland.
"These candidates join a growing list of Republicans with their sights set on the governors' mansions in Ohio and Georgia."
Once again the media portrays the normal as abnormal.
Do you see any anti-Obama Democrats? Anti-Biden? Heck, for that matter, are there any anti-Dukakis Democrats?
ITEM 15: Speaking of Donald Trump, via the Post-Millennial, he told CPAC on Sunday, ""We will completely defund and bar critical race theory. 1776 not 1619, if you don't mind. And if government run schools are going to teach children to hate their country, we will demand school choice, as we already have. If you listen to the media or watch the evening news casts, our country has really gone bad. All we talk about is race.
"We don't talk about our country being great anymore, or how our country can lead the world, we don't talk about stopping crime," he said.
"The Democrat-controlled media talks race for political reasons... but it's hurting our country... and more than anyone else, our great minority communities... the Democrat obsession with race is only dragging us back into the past and it is bringing our country down to a point where even China and Russia are lecturing us on human rights, race and they're doing it in a very humiliating fashion.
"They're taking our heritage away and that's not going to happen."
Hooray!
Someone must stand for America as it fights its worst enemy.
Washington D.C.
ITEM 16: Not content with their rewrite of America in the 1619 Project, the staff at the New York Times has decided that Māori people of New Zealand own Antarctica because 1,400 years ago, a Māori explorer may have visited it.
In an article entitled, "The Maori Vision of Antarctica’s Future," NYT said, "Krushil Watene is an author on two studies published recently, with Priscilla Wehi, a conservation biologist at the University of Otago in New Zealand, that explore the historical and future links between Indigenous peoples and Antarctica.
"The first study, published in the Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, plumbed literary, oral and artistic archives for historical accounts of Maori in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions. The second, published in Nature Ecology and Evolution, looks ahead, proposing an Indigenous framework to manage and conserve the southernmost continent.
"The authors hope to apply to Antarctica the Maori principle of kaitiakitanga, the concept of guardianship and stewardship of the environment. Their suggestions include getting more Indigenous voices in Antarctic governance and granting Antarctica legal personhood."
(I don't link NYT. Oh, and I had to correct a spelling error.)
So if a sailor visits a continent, his descendants automatically own that land 1,400 years later.
So tell me why they are tearing down statues of James Cook?
ITEM 17: The New York Post reported, "The city of Charlottesville, Va. followed up its removal of two controversial Confederate statues Saturday with the lightning-fast toppling of a third local landmark: a monumental tribute to explorers Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and Sacagawea.
"In an emergency meeting called with 20 minutes’ notice, the Charlottesville City Council voted unanimously to cancel another piece of public art targeted by left-wing activists."
Virginia, home of Governor Blackface, just tore down a tribute to an American Indian woman.
Ol' Virginny, still Democrat and still racist.
I am proud to live in Best Virginia.
ITEM 18: The Washington Examiner reported, "A California hotel canceled an America First rally after learning Reps. Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene were slated to be featured speakers."
Paging the ACLU.
Where are the defenders of free speech?
ITEM 19: WDJT-Milwaukee reported, "The elderly woman who police say was repeatedly punched by a 17-year-old Walmart employee on Wednesday, July 7, is speaking out about the incident, saying this situation could have been avoided."
Hire a lawyer and sue Walmart.
And shop someplace else.
ITEM 20: CNN reported, "A Texas man who told CNN he waited for 'a little bit over six hours' at a polling center in Houston to participate in Super Tuesday last year was arrested and charged this week with two counts of illegal voting.
"According to a June 24 indictment from the Texas attorney general’s office, Hervis Earl Rogers, 62, voted in the November 6, 2018, general and special elections and the March 3, 2020, Democratic primary election despite being on felony parole for a 25-year sentence for burglary. Because he was on felony parole, he was ineligible to vote under Texas law, according to the Texas attorney general office."
His excuse?
He did not know he was ineligible.
Mmm, 'kay.
FINALLY, the song Signs, is the dumbest song in rock 'n' roll history.
It begins:
And the sign said
"Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why
He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man
I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that
Huh, me workin' for you"
Whoa
Excuse me, but the complainer did not want the job, but he pretended to be someone he is not so he could get the job so he could turn it down.
Whoa.
Yes, imagine hiring a deceptive, arrogant and lazy person who identifies as a Freaky People.
Whoa.
The song should be called Whine.
"Whines"

"Pope Benedict XVI. Tanned, rested, and ready."
ReplyDeleteMuch like Nixon in '68.
ITEM 8: Branson traveled into space for a few minutes in his flying machine. I’m more impressed with Felix Baumgartner’s “Red Bull Space Jump: On 14 October 2012, Felix Baumgartner landed in eastern New Mexico after jumping from a then world-record 38,969.3 metres (127,852 feet) and falling a record distance of 36,402.6 metres (119,431 feet). Baumgartner also set the record for fastest speed of free fall at 1,357.64 km/h (843.6 mph), making him the first human to break the sound barrier outside a vehicle. Baumgartner was in free fall for 4 minutes and 19 seconds.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on that one. The old man in the video is Joe Kittinger, the then record holder who mentored Felix.
DeleteThanks, JeremyR. I remembered he had a connection to Felix but couldn't recall what it was. I watched it in real time, when it took place, and I'm still in awe of what Felix accomplished.
DeleteFelix Baumgartner discusses his experience: “If something goes wrong you’re going to die within 15 seconds.”
DeleteAgree. Much more exciting to have a one man attempt with little protection besides a space suit.
DeleteWow! That was insane! 800+mph. I wonder how the parachute could handle that much stress when opened.
DeleteTrump's owner, terminal velocity of a human falling through the atmosphere is a 'mere" 120 mph. This would be reached about 14 seconds (455 meters) into the fall. (https://owlcation.com/stem/Drag-Force-and-the-Terminal-Velocity-of-a-Human)
DeleteThat terminal velocity (120mph) is for lower levels of the atmosphere where the air is denser - the higher up you go, the thinner the air and thus the higher the terminal velocity.
DeleteThe plan went as planned - jump from a great height where the air is very thin, and attain a very high speed (the plan was to exceed Mach 1, and he did)... then lose that speed as he got lower and the atmosphere thickened, allowing the chute to deploy properly.
Wow - Thank you all for this educational discussion! Read Don's blog and you get smarter!
Delete'Morning, fellow curling enthusiasts...
ReplyDelete2 - Speaking of poisonous, baseless ideological ideas that won't go away, here we go again with the nonsense that inflation is caused by too many people working and too many producers producing. Worst idee fixee in like forever.
16 - It's always amusing to see the hippie-dippie types trying to impose their hippie-dippie ideas on various "indigenous peoples." You know, that the world was a placid Eden until white male Europeans came on the scene and introduce all that is evil to the world. That most indigenous people basically warred constantly until Europeans came along is lost on them (because they don't want to know).
Gotta run this morning...
2 - the media could correct this but of course they won’t/don’t.

ReplyDelete#8. The rocket was released at 9 miles, or 46,000 feet, and reached an peak altitude of 53 miles or 285,000 feet.
ReplyDelete6 - that is soliciting. Of course they are lying.
ReplyDeleteFrom Miriam-Webster.com:
soliciting verb
present participle of solicit
(Entry 3 of 3)
1 to go around and approach (people) with a request for opinions or information
2 to make a request for
3 to make a request of
4 to make a request to (someone) in an earnest or urgent manner
Yes, to “solicit” is to “make a request” or to “ask.” If any statement they make at the door ends in a question mark, they’re soliciting — asking for an answer to their question.
DeleteNot to mention they're using doctor/patient confidential information illegally obtained per HIPA.
DeleteRight. Amazon has an interesting sign for the front yard to discourage the Vax Nazis. I wish they’d advertise here so Don would get a couple of bucks for a click-and-buy:

If you didn't know, little miss Avant-Garde is already famous for her basketball skills. Check them out.
ReplyDeleteAmazing mind and dedication there.
Another most excellent Monday Update, Big D. And speaking of the Five Man Electrical Band, let’s not forget the 3rd verse of Signs:
ReplyDeleteAnd the sign said
"Everybody welcome
Come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all
I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper
And I made up my own little sign
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me
I'm alive and doin' fine"
Woo!
LibCommies don’t tithe. You could look it up.
Item 1: “police sources did confirm to FOX31 they found 16 long guns, body armor and more than 1,000 rounds of ammo at the scene, FBI Denver tweeted that they are not aware of any threat” Did the Las Vegas shooters issue a “threat” to anyone before they opened fire? I have several “long guns” and even more hand guns, but I’m not going to get together either 3 other friends and haul them all to a hotel near a sporting event. If they weren’t there to shoot their guns, why were they there? A gun cleaning party? If the FBI doesn’t consider 16 guns and body armor in a hotel room a “threat,” it once again proves that the FBI is clueless.
ReplyDeleteItem 6: “Lake County Illinois, has already posted online the rules for the Vax Patrol… Ignore no soliciting signs.” A “No Trespassing” sign is less ambiguous than a “No Soliciting” sign. Better yet, a sign that says “Vax Nazis Will Be Shot” makes the point even more clearly.
Finally: “the complainer did not want the job, but he pretended to be someone he is not so he could get the job so he could turn it down.” Sounds like Nikole Hannah-Jones, the NYT writer and race-hustler, who was initially declined tenure at UNC, whined about it to the press, and got the university to reverse their position, only to turn down the offer.

ReplyDelete#1 .. The figure of 471 people shot over the course of 5 minutes would represent the largest number of people ever shot by a single person in such a short period of time in human history ... with the possible exception of a German Maxim machine gunner at the Battle of the Somme. But nothing to see here. After all, didnt Ellen Degeneris, who found fame as an unfunny comic who was unafraid to dance awkwardly in public say, "Its time to move on."
ReplyDelete#16 reality check ... How likely is it that a Maori sailing vessel, designed for the placid Central Pacific, would have survived the turbulence of the Southern Ocean.
