In July, 17-year-old Tay’Zauhn Burns-Miller’s life was snuffed out by a drive-by murderer. Just days before, Seattle was riven by a swarm of shootings in which six people were mowed down by shooters in one night. Four died. In October, a man escaped being killed by another drive-by shooter. And days ago, a man was critically wounded when a drive-by shooter picked him off as he sat in his car. Seattle, Washington’s most populous city, had a record number of drive-by shootings in 2021. By July, the city’s drive-by shootings had doubled over the year before. It’s a problem. So why are Washington Democrats offering up a bill

Criminal gangs have nearly taken over some cities. During 2020's unrest a spokesman for the Chicago Police estimated the gang population in that city alone to be "approximately" 116,000, nearly all of whom are armed and extremely dangerous. It would practically require military divisions to clear the worst neighborhoods, but if the attempt is not made, certain blue cities are going to be completely unlivable for law abiding citizens. And yes, if the worst criminals are removed from society, many of them are going to be minorities because that's who does most of the violent crime today. Get serious about it or write off blue cities and put a fence around them.

Because POC are being disproportionately charged in drive by shootings it is seen as systemic racism so their punishment should be reduced? I bet even the Devil is face palming this!

Let's just label everything racist for starters to get this civil war started. It won't be the Union and Confederate this time it's going to be the Racist against the Woke. I'll be on the racist side but it's going to be one hell of confrontation. Just think when the 'woke' decide on 'equity' in prison like there has to be equal number of whites to blacks and Hispanics. This is just so stupid I enjoyed the article with the writer commenting of the dumbness of the bill. MAGA

But this article failed to quote lawmaker Simmons’ faulty reasoning of “I believe in a redemptive society. . . and the answer is NOT to lock them (the shooters) up and throw away the key” because PERMANENT incarceration is PRECISELY the answer for the reason that the shooters are all VIOLENT SOCIOPATHS for whom redemption is not possible, repeat, NOT POSSIBLE. I’ve capitalized the operative words for Simmons’ benefit!

Apparently they want more drive by shootings. To they think that drive-by shootings are a good thing, so that they need to 'subsidize' them?

I used to joke that the way to improve 'shooting equality' for the races is to shoot more white people. Eventually, even the absurd becomes law.

Is this law saying that it is ok to shoot BIPOC or that shooting them is less of a crime? Sounds like it to me. Also, how will lowering the penalty for drive by shootings for BIPOC suspects lower the crime rate? Sounds like an invitation to commit more crime to me. Another ill conceived "equity law" that will only make matters worse for everyone. What's next? No penalty for BIPOC if they drive by shoot a White person to make up for historical and systematic racism?

'Jaw-Dropping' Gains for GOP in Florida
as COVID Refugees Register RED
8 replies
Posted by Hazymac 1/5/2022 6:10:42 PM Post Reply
Florida Republicans outnumber registered Democrats for the first time in the state’s history, as Blue State COVID refugees tick the Big R on their voter registrations. Twitter user TimDCpolitico took Florida’s voter rolls from March 31 of 2020 and compared them to the latest figures. The results, he says, are “jaw-dropping,” and I can’t think of a better way to describe them. Out of over 14 million registered voters, last year Democrats held the edge with 37.38% of registrations compared to the GOP’s 35.28%. (The remaining four million or so — around 26% — were independents or members of minor parties.)
The Zero Covid Problem 12 replies
Posted by Hazymac 1/3/2022 11:04:42 AM Post Reply
One of the unresolved debates of the pandemic era is whether the zero-Covid public health strategy is the correct one. This strategy can be loosely defined as driving Covid-19 as close as possible to zero through strict control measures so that community transmissions no longer appear and, should that happen, be quickly re-suppressed. Initially, even Europe and the U.S. tried this (remember two weeks to flatten the curve?) but quickly gave up with the emergence of new variants, although through 2021 a number of small, or easily isolated, countries persisted in the attempt. As 2022 dawned, however, even these were giving up.

AOC Staffer: Israel a ‘Racist European

One of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) staffers called Israel a “racist European ethnostate built on stolen land” in one of his social media posts. Hussain Altamimi is a legislative assistant to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, who joined the office last month. He reportedly shared a picture of himself with the Congresswoman on Instagram, adding the caption, “New beginnings,” in November. Altamimi used his Instagram account to target Israel, a key middle eastern ally to the United States. In a Christmas Eve Instagram story, Altamimi wrote, “Israel is a racist European ethnostate built on stolen land from its indigenous population!”

U.S. Brings a Pea-Shooter to a Gunfight

Many of my conservative friends are spinning their wheels with pea-shooter-gauge measures against China—kicking Chinese companies out of the U.S. stock market, for example. On Dec. 10 the U.S. government canceled an initial public offering for the Chinese AI startup SenseTime, whose facial recognition software may help Chinese authorities identify Uyghurs. Two weeks later SenseTime moved its IPO to Hong Kong; it rose 44% in the first two days of trading. China has a trade surplus, $3.2 trillion in reserves, and a 40% savings rate. It is an exporter, not an importer of capital. American capital markets are a convenience, not a necessity for Chinese companies.

Xi Jinping has been doing a great deal of saber rattling of late, threatening both Australia and Taiwan. China has also been building islands in the South China Sea, flying hypersonic weapons, stealing and illegally buying vast amounts of military technology, and overtly working to make its military more manly, even as the U.S. military deals with maternity flight suits and the needs of the so-called transgender troops. Nevertheless, when all is said and done, a military is only as good as the people doing the fighting, and there are indications that China has a problem in this area.

Biden’s Approval Ratings Are Inflated 13 replies
Posted by Hazymac 12/29/2021 11:14:31 AM Post Reply
There has been a lot of publicity around Joe Biden’s poor approval ratings, but I think his actual standing with the electorate is worse than they indicate. Take, for example, the Rasmussen survey, which I think is valuable because 1) unlike other polls, it samples likely voters, and 2) it polls constantly, publishing a three-day rolling average. Thus, whether the numbers are “right” or not, they are a good indicator of trends. In Joe Biden’s case, the trend has been obvious: his approval rating quickly dropped to around 42%, and there it sits. But I don’t believe that 40+% of voters, surveying the wreckage of the last year, actually think

Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers has become persona non grata to progressives. Which is, truthfully, a remarkably easy feat. He started irritating them around a year ago when he criticized politicians who didn’t obey their own COVID-19 mandates. More recently he deplored the “woke mob” and “cancel culture.” The woke mob became truly apoplectic when Rodgers wasn’t clear about his vaccination status and then spoke with popular podcaster Joe Rogan, subsequently saying he had availed himself of the same COVID-19 treatment Rogan claimed to have used successfully. You know, the so-called “horse de-wormer.” Which is not a Dr. Fauci-approved “vaccine.”

The price of natural gas skyrocketed more than 30% in Europe on Tuesday after Russia continued to withhold key supplies with winter weather approaching. Tuesday marked the 15th consecutive day the pipeline’s natural gas flowed from Europe back toward Russia, according to Reuters. While the price, measured by the Dutch natural gas index, fell after its early spike, it remained about 20% higher at around midday Tuesday, Reuters reported. In December, Russian state-owned gas provider Gazprom slowed gas flows transported through the Yamal-Europe pipeline to Germany and reversed the flows’ direction from westward to eastward.
