RITTENHOUSE BEING SUED
Kyle Rittenhouse is being sued by the the idiot who chased him down and pointed a gun at him.
[…]
He went looking for trouble armed with a gun and found it. Have can keep dealing with the consequences.
“toatsrokinit” seems to think he’s talking about Kyle acting provocatively. But his claim very much more accurately describes the actions of plaintiff Grosskreutz.

Texas gun “buyback.”
‘We Have to Get Rid of It’: Texas Residents Surrender Guns
Specialized police then approach and check that the weapons are unloaded and registered.
Like almost all states, Texas doesn’t have firearm registration. And the story specifies “semiautomatic” firearms, so there shouldn’t have been any NFA stuff.

McCaskill: ‘Trump Was Afraid to Go to Afghanistan’ – Biden Showed ‘Courage’ Going to Ukraine
Trump went to Afghanistan.
When that Air Force One flew over the border into Ukraine, everybody knows it was just that airplane from the United States in that airspace. And that took courage. That courage is a very important component of a re-elect for Joe Biden because strength matters.”
A few little problems with that narrative.
If this is the best the Dims can do to support the “re-elect” of Biden, it certainly explains why they’re dead set on keeping the the 2020 and 2022 election mechanisms in place. That’s all that got the senile bastard elected in the first place.

Someone shot a bishop in Los Angeles. The suspect has finally been identified.
Update: Suspect Arrested Over Murder of California Bishop Identified as Husband of Bishop’s Employee
The suspect’s name has not yet been released, but neighbors have identified the suspect as Carlos Medina, whose wife worked with the bishop.
Hmmm. I wonder. But this part…
One neighbor Luis Lopez said the suspect’s name is Carlos Medina, and his wife had worked for the Bishop O’Connell, and another told Harter that the suspect was an ‘odd man’ in his 50s who was up at all hours of the night to dig in his yard.
[…]
His wife’s whereabouts are unknown.
Might I suggest checking the backyard?

EXCLUSIVE: Here’s How Many Pride Events The Air Force Held In 2022, According To A Just-Launched DEI Newsletter
The Air Force hosted 67 Pride celebrations in 2022, according to the first Air Force Office of Diversity and Inclusion quarterly newsletter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Yadda yadda. “Social Actions” was a bad enough “barrier” to accomplishing the actual mission back when I was in may have been associated with USAF.
But then I got down to this part:
The LIT is one of seven “Air Force Barrier Analysis Working Groups” chartered to identify “root causes” and determine whether or not these “root causes” detract from DEI in the force…
Seven! And that’s still not the worst part.
Each all-volunteer team reviews demographic data collected from Air Force and federal-level sources to devise ways to increase ethnic, disability and “gender diversity” in the Air Force…
They’re trying to increase the number of disabled service members. That’s is, people who can’t meet fitness requirements, or be deployed, or even take certain permanent duty assignments. Dumping the load on everyone else.
I’m so old, I remember when USAF discharged people for that. Now they’re actively recruiting more.

Assumptions…
State Troopers head issues apology to Colony High School principal
Col. James Cockrell, commissioner of the Alaska Department of Public Safety, said he has personally apologized to Colony High Principal Mary Fulp after troopers took her in for a mental health evaluation without her consent last Wednesday evening while the incident was livestreamed on her Facebook page.Cockrell said troopers believed there was a court order requiring them to do so, but the Alaska Court System has since confirmed that no such order was ever issued.
Believed, but not enough to bother checking. Because…
“Several hours later we received a 911 call from our dispatch center from the family members saying they had a signed court order to transport her to Mat-Su Regional,” Cockrell said. “Two troopers went there … contacted her, looked at the document, believed that it was a valid document signed by a magistrate or judge, and transported her.”
Cockrell said the troopers acted in good faith and trusted the family that the document was legitimate, however, he said troopers failed to do their duties.
So these “loving” family members, seemingly unable to convince a judge that there was a real issue, forged a court order? That ceertainly sounds like a violation of AS 11.46.510, which appears to be a Class C felony. That’s good for up to five years and $50,000.
“All five of Mary’s siblings love her and care deeply about her. They have acted together, forthrightly and in good faith, during a difficult time. Their sole concern has been and remains their sister’s well-being. To respect Mary, they have no further comment at present.”
On advice of counsel, I’m sure, so the idiots won’t further incriminate themselves while the lawyers try to arrange a plea deal.
The civil suit against the State Troopers should be fun to watch, too.
Hat tip to David Codrea.
Added: It’s worth noting that court orders have to be prepared in fairly precise formats. And those formats vary by state and even judicial district. You don’t just go to a generic “prepare your will” legal website and grab an equally generic court order boilerplate. Someone knew exactly how to prepare a court order that would look legitimate to cops who see a lot of court orders. That screams “lawyer.”
If I were to guess… A lawyer may have drafted a proposed order to present to a judge, but the judge rejected it for lack of cause. So maybe then they just gave the cops the rejected work. If so, that adds a felony conspiracy charges.
Then judges get cranky about people filing bogus court orders over their names.

CENSORSHIPStudy Finds People With Higher Cognitive Ability Care More About Free Speech Than Political Correctnes
In other words, the more cognitive ability a person displays, the less likely they are to be woke.A harsher but somewhat accurate summary would be to say that people who embrace woke political dogmas are more stupid and gullible.
And more likely to devolve into insults when faced with actual facts in a debate. Their reasoning capacity is comparatively limited, so they can only fall back on feelz.

Worldwide Temporal Trends in Penile Length: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Results
After adjusting for geographic region, subject age, and subject population; erect penile length increased 24% over the past 29 years.Conclusions
The average erect penis length has increased over the past three decades across the world. Given the significant implications, attention to potential causes should be investigated
Yes, the average penis length has increased from 4.8 to 6 inches. And these researchers think that’s bad.
Bigger is bad? Why do I suspect that these study authors — all male, judging by their names — are of the short end of the bell curve?
