Friday!

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 7/12/24, 8:21 am

– Seattle isn’t the only place that can’t deal with homelessness in anything approaching decency. So congratulations to Lacey on winning your court case that allows cruelty to the least of us.

– Don’t worry, Seattle you aren’t just catching strays.

– Also, Seattle, throw the book at the officer who laughed at Jaahnavi Kandula’s death.

– Is this too Seattle based? Here’s the info on the transportation levy.

– Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

    BBC headline today:

    BREAKING – “Biden introduces Putin as Zelensky at Nato event”

    Wow. I guess the BBC will now have to step down and turn the entire network over to “whomever is best capable of carrying on to victory”.

    No word yet from George Clooney nor any word on how many “Parkinson’s specialists” had visited the headquarters in the last few months. The people of the UK must be absolutely freaking out right now.

    For reference:

    Future Forward is registered as a Carey Committee Super PAC with almost all of its 2024 haul in its independent expenditure accounts and with no contributions in the current cycle to any candidate campaign. It consists almost entirely of large donations from about 60 or so wealthy California donors who work in media entertainment and technology or investment funding of same. Basically tech-bros and tech-bro affiliated white males or their minions (e.g. Sheryl Sandberg). They report a total spend in the current cycle of about $5 million so far, with most of that spend going for PAC salaries, admin, and consulting.

    The PAC itself is opaque to most outsiders. But it was noted previously this year that the PAC was built around producing a flood of ad messaging to take place between the convention and November focusing specifically on President Biden’s domestic record and agenda. They have $250 million worth of ad space reserved in various markets for that time frame.

    “Freezing” that for the time being would be a logical step at this point if there appeared to be some risk that the ticket might change. Even if Vice President Harris were to receive the nomination the content of the ads would have to be entirely altered.

    (Note that he was asking the CEO of Unilever who admitted his target for advertising is 18-48 year old WOMEN. Note also that Daily wire is rated as having just over 14million unique visitors MONTHLY, a little over 63% are male, and 66% over 45.
    https://www.similarweb.com/website/dailywire.com/#ranking )

    So why DON’T you spend your marketing budget on a platform who’s audience is quite small, has next to ZERO reach outside the USA and is largely NOT the demographic you target?

    Next up for Gym, “Pornhub is a really popular site with almost a billion unique viewers globally every month. To the best of your knowledge, have you ever advertised Fisher Price toys on Pornhub? There’s a big market there.”

    “You can’t blame the guy if he wants to get out of a high-tax state with horrible leadership. Welcome to the West Coast, Messed Coast™ where Washington State’s outgoing Gov. Jay Inslee is fighting rumors that he’s getting the heck out of his own state to flee to a free state in America.

    “I refuse to join a club that would have me as a member.”—Groucho Marx Jay Inslee
    But the problem with this is that Inslee, who vies with Gavin Newsom as the dumbest governor in America, created the very problems from which he is reportedly fleeing.

    Washington is a high-tax state, a place where regulation is killing the little guy, environmental rules are so radical that wood fireplaces and natural gas have been ruled out as future acceptable heat sources. His far-left party has demonized cops, embraced illegal aliens, made the state into an abortuary, forced government employees to get the dangerous clot shots to keep their jobs, and never apologized for being the last governor in America to give up the emergency powers he arrogated and abused due to COVID. When he’s not ruining people’s independence, he’s trying to disarm them.

    Now, rumors abound that Inslee is fleeing the state that he has spent three terms trying to ruin.

    The conservative Idaho Tribune broke the news that he’s been looking at property in their state.

    But, my word! Hayden Lake? … known as recently as 2022 as what? Hmm, it begins with ‘White‘ ends with ‘Nationalist‘. Oh my Jay!

    Breaking news: Judge dismisses all charges against Alec Baldwin on grounds of irremedial prosecutorial misconduct involving failure to disclose evidence consisting of live ammunition from the movie set.

    “The Colt .45 rounds were delivered to the sheriff’s office in March by former police officer Troy Teske, a friend of Thell Reed, the stepfather of ‘Rust’ armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the same day she was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Hutchins’ death. The prosecution described Teske as a ‘good Samaritan.’”

    And this was never disclosed to Baldwin’s defense attorneys.

    Enabled by an airy wave of the Supreme Political Court On High’s magic wand.

    Turning the homeless into Honorary Palestinians: Can’t stay here, no place to go. Bottom line: Not allowed to exist.

    Homeless camps are a real problem for neighborhoods: Blight, trash, drugs, crime, safety concerns, etc. This is a social problem needing a governmental solution because it’s beyond the capacity of individuals to address, but there isn’t one because local communities can’t afford or won’t commit the needed resources, and there’s little or no political will to deal with it.

    Much like the unsolvable Middle East conflict: Unwanted people are going to exist, and since no one wants them, they’ll exist where they’re not wanted and be demonized for existing.

    Not exactly. It’s one of those two-person, online-only, million-reader blogs with more real information about current events than you’ll read in your lifetime.

    Although one of the two persons is now dead, all his posts are still up, so it’s still a two-person blog.

    Total page views will surpass a million readers sometime in the next few months. Daily page views have varied from double digits to mid-four digits. It’s more readership than you have. But then, it offers more substance than your puerile posts.

    Since the editor’s untimely departure, leaving the blog with only a contributor, all current postings are based on reliable news sources, not Daily Caller, anonymous X posts, and shit you pull out of your ass.

    ‘OMFG’: Biden’s mistakes push shocked US allies toward Trump
    Western diplomats are privately horrified by the President’s public gaffes and are working to build links with the Trump team ahead of November’s election.

    Then, on Thursday, came Biden’s long press conference at the close of the NATO summit in Washington, during which he insisted he was fit enough to serve another term and the best person to beat Trump. When Biden introduced Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy as “President Putin,” there was an audible gasp among Europeans in the room.

    One of those present texted POLITICO: “OMFG.”

    A second added: “The European leaders froze onstage, although they did their best to keep smiling and clapping. Nobody mentioned it with the Biden team afterward.”

    Another senior European diplomat in D.C. said colleagues have been busy reaching out to those who are likely to join the Trump team for months — setting up meetings, attending the same events, and inviting Trump’s allies to dinner.

    Asked if there’s any pressure back home not to do this due to Trump’s polarizing image, one diplomat said: “No. We would be failing our duty if we were not trying to build connections with his people now.”

    Another four months of Bi-Done in office and the newly re-inaugurated Trump will receive a Nobel Peace Prize.

    The panel vacated the district court’s order dismissing plaintiffs’ action alleging that the COVID-19 vaccination
    policy of the Los Angeles Unified School District
    (“LAUSD”)—which, until twelve days after oral argument,
    required employees to get the COVID-19 vaccination or lose
    their jobs—interfered with their fundamental right to refuse
    medical treatment.

    The panel held that the voluntary cessation exception to
    mootness applied. LAUSD’s pattern of withdrawing and
    then reinstating its vaccination policies was enough to keep
    this case alive.
