If you’ve followed the MSM at all for the last 40 years you know that if there is one thing they love it’s stories that promote the disarming of citizens.

What they particularly love are stories that suggest the disarming of citizens that take place in Red States because that why they can point the finger at the GOP rather than themselves, and if that story is about a mass shooting well that’s the trifecta when it comes to creating a national story.

However there is one thing that can get in the way of such a story and that’s DaTechGuy’s 3rd Law of Media Outrage which states:

The MSM’s elevation and continued classification of any story as Nationally Newsworthy rather than only of local interest is in direct correlation to said story’s current ability to affirm any current Democrat/Liberal/Media meme/talking point, particularly on the subject of race or sexuality.

Well you would think a mass shooting with over 300 shots fired which took place in Memphis this week would qualify, even it it was in a blue city oasis in the middle of a Red State, alas there is a catch. See if you can spot it from this video of the event:

Alas the shooters were of the wrong race, and thus this story hurts the Democrat message on race. Even 300 shots and video are not enough to get this story onto any national broadcast so like the Superbowl shootings this story will be confined to the local news until it dies away.

Cue Ann Coulter:

Is this not the Perfect Metaphor for the Democrat Party

Captain Mullins: [Forgetting he’s holding the lie detector handle] That’s enough! Break it up! [to Shemp] Now then, what were you doing at eleven o’clock last night?

Shemp: I don’t know. What were you doing at eleven o’clock?

Captain Mullins: Uh, I was at a lodge meeting. [The lie detector beeps very loudly, startling the Stooges the pen travels wildly in a crooked line then the machine suddenly stops]

Officer operating the lie Detector: That last question seems to have broken the machine, captain.

This story is slightly old but If you want to find something that perfectly encapsulates what the Democrat party has become, this is it. Apparently there has been a problem with Truthfulness among people testifying before NH government committees. Folks have been saying one thing and then it’s been revealed to be, as the committee member put it “infactual”. Fortunately under NH law there is a solution. Any State Senator or Rep receiving testimony on a committee member can do what Rep Sandra Panek did here:

Pursuant to RSA 1414, which states that any Senator or Representative, while acting as a member of the committee, of the legislature, may admininster an oath to any person who may be examined before such a committee. I would like to require an oath of the witness and all witnesses testifying before this committee. The testimony we are taking is concerning a very serious subject matter, and we must ensure truthfulness.

Now you might think members of the legislature would welcome truthful testimony being made before them, but apparently not if they are Democrats who immediately objected noting that they have not seen this happen in the nearly two decades on such a committee.

I presume this is why the issue of “infactual” testimony has become a problem and if there is one thing that we’ve seen from our friends on the left over and over from crossing the border illegally to blocking highways is a complete rejection of the idea that actions might have consequences.

Unexpectedly of course

Under the Fedora: Who Needs Norms Edition, No Trials, No Attacks, No Choices in Michigan, In London No Jews, and Dostoevsky Democrats

For the first time in history an impeachment sent to the Senate didn’t produce a trail because the Democrats didn’t feel like having one.

It’s amazing how easy it is to ignore the Constitution when you have a party whose primary voter base either doesn’t know or doesn’t care what it actually says.

Sooner or later the tables will be turned and suddenly the press and the dems will decry the fact that we’re playing by their rules

Apparently Iran’s plan on dealing with the Israeli air strikes is to simultaneously pretend they didn’t happen and claim they destroyed everything Israel sent, but apparently the Jewish state made their point.

Such a pretense excuses Iran from an escalation that would lead to disaster as Israel demonstrated both Iran’s lack of effective defense and their lack of allies willing to throw down for them, well except for Maxine Waters who apparently denies Iran even attacked Israel.

I somehow don’t think she’s enough to sustain them.

RFK’s access to the ballot in Michigan leads folks to believe that he gives the “death to the Jews” left an alternate to Biden who they hate and Trump who they hate more.

I disagree, RFK is solidly behind Israel and hasn’t been shy about saying so. If those votes are going anywhere else they’re going to Cornell West.

What I’m really interested in seeing is if the Islamic community is content to let the folk in Lansing steal their votes if the numbers don’t look good.

If you want to note confirmation that England has been conquered by the Islamists this video is all you need to see:

How DARE that Englishman be openly Jewish in the capital of Great Britain!

I’m glad the Few did not live to see England conquered.

Finally Robert Stacy McCain notes that being a fugitive on the lam doesn’t take away the right for your vote to be counted in the Pennsylvania Legislature. If you’re a Democrat that is.

A Pennsylvania Democrat providing a critical vote for his party in the state House is on the lam after allegedly violating a protective order related to abuse, authorities told The Post.
Philadelphia police issued a warrant for state Rep. Kevin Boyle on Tuesday after the 44-year-old Democrat, who has struggled with mental health issues but is still on the ballot for a primary election next week, broke the Protection From Abuse Order, a department spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday afternoon.
Democrats control the Pennsylvania House of Representatives by a razor-thin 102-101 majority, meaning his votes in absentia allow the party to pass legislation for the time being.
“We tried to address this situation this morning by asking that Mr. Boyle be placed on leave,” Republican caucus leader Rep. Bryan Cutler (Lancaster) said. “The Democrats are insisting that not only he’s not on leave, but he is in fact eligible to vote.”
“You’ve got an individual who has an arrest warrant out who is either a fugitive from justice and waiting to be processed, or they are in communication with him about his votes and therefore they are harboring him and should communicate that to law enforcement,” he added.

I guess Dostoevsky’s “If there is no God, everything is permitted” is now: “If you’re a Democrat everything is excused.”

Israel Strikes Back, Iran and Biden hardest hit

I guess Iran and Russia aren’t the only ones who ignore Biden when he says “Don’t”

Israel retaliated on Thursday night to Iran, reportedly launching strikes that targeted the west of the country. Explosions were heard early Friday morning local time in Isfahan prompting commercial flights to divert from their routes. 

Israel launched missiles in a retaliatory strike against Iran on Thursday night, ABC, CBS and NPR reported, citing senior US officials.

Bloomberg reported that Israeli officials notified the United States earlier on Thursday that the country planned to retaliate to Saturday’s attack in the next 24-48 hours. 

Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency reported at around 5:30 a.m. local time (10:00 p.m. ET Thursday) that explosions were heard in Qahjaverestan, northeast of Isfahan. The cause of the explosions is currently unknown, per the outlet. CNN reported that Iran’s air defense systems had been activated, citing Iranian media. 

And not just Iran:

The report came shortly after local sources reported explosions in Isfahan in central Iran, in the As-Suwayda Governorate of southern Syria, and in the Baghdad area and Babil Governorate of Iraq early Friday morning.

Apparently Iran figured out that Biden’s latest don’t wasn’t going to be effective:

 the Iranian regime isn’t taking any chances trying to securely button up what they have, knowing it’s a prime target for attempted destruction. Prudence dictates they bubblewrap their nuclear facilities.

JUST IN CASE

Iran closed down its nuclear facilities amid fears of an Israeli attack, the United Nations has revealed.

Inspectors were blocked from the sites on Sunday, Rafael Grossi, the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency chief, said.

The shutdown came as Israel’s war cabinet was locked in talks over how to respond to Iran’s first direct attack on its territory.

Experts have warned Iran is on the “threshold” of becoming a nuclear power and could build a bomb in six months to a year. Uranium enrichment is accelerating as the regime faces calls to create a deterrent.

That’s not the only asset Iranians want to protect. For months, and in other periods of unrest prior to this, a certain Iranian Spy ship gussied up as a freighter has been plying the waters of the Red Sea. It mysteriously always seems to be in the vicinity when Houthi missiles are finding their targets or certain tankers or cargo ships need to be culled for boarding and hijacking out of the hundreds floating by.

No word on what the Damage is but no matter how you cut it, Iran loses face, but not as much as Biden.

Then again how much face does the Biden administration have?
