It’s good when the march and the music synch.

“We’re not coming to take your guns”/”We’re coming to take your guns”
The most recent news article shown in that video:
Biden Administration Urges Supreme Court To Let Cops Enter Homes And Seize Guns Without A Warrant
The case in question dates from an incident back in 2015. But the Biden/Harris CCP Caretaker Administration wanting the Supreme Court to uphold the idea of warrantless firearm confiscations (along with warrantless searches of homes) just because the government and its agents want to disarm a law-abiding citizen. This would be a blatant violation not only of the Second Amendment but the Fourth as well.
Why even continue with the pretense of a Constitution at that point?

An Aerojet illustration of an interceptor designed to take out targets such as incoming nuclear warheads by the simple expedient of ramming into them at several kilometers per second, the old “hitting a bullet with a bullet” cliche.

City student passes 3 classes in four years, ranks near top half of class with 0.13 GPA
The student got a B in PE, and D’s in English I and Health Ed I. Failed *everything* else. The mother was aware of this. And now that the student is approaching the date when he should have graduated high school, he’s been informed that he will have to repeat *all* of High School, straight back to 9th grade. *Hundreds* of students this school have failed worse than this one. After essentially failing English 1 (he got a D-), he was promoted to English 2. Which he failed. And was then promoted to English 3. Which he failed. He was absent or late 272 times.
The video at the link is entertainingly depressing in a “this is the future” sort of way. Shockingly, the mother claims that her lil’ scholar didn’t “deserve” to be failed. She blames the school for this. The says that her son feels like a failure… and that he *shouldn’t* feel like that. Even though… ummm… he’s a failure. How else to describe someone who got a 0.13 and basically ditched school? “Who do he turn to?” she asks, making it clear right off how someone can fail English. “Don’t he get a chance?” she ax, missing the point that he had four years worth of chances.
The former principal of the school was placed on administrative leave for 17 months while an investigation was carried out. During that time, she made $190,000.
The “city” in question is Baltimore.
The student failed.
The parent(s) failed.
The school failed.
The city government failed.
The voters who kept voting for the machine running Baltimore failed.
The political party running Baltimore is the same one that wants to have complete control over who gets to exercise Constitutional rights.
I’ve mentioned before that I have a fix for this sort of thing. To all appearances, this was a student who wads not only failed by the system and his family, he seemed to have no interest in doing any of the schoolwork himself. OK, fine. For such students, let them out at the end of, say, the 10th grade. tehn let them enter the work force. A few options:
1: Get a real job. Flip burgers, dig ditches, whatever.
2: Go in the the new Works Projects Administration. He and a few hundred thousand or million of his like-mined non-academics can receive pay and training and room and board from the government, and get a chance to see the country. They’d get loaded onto buses or trains and shipped to rural areas to work the farms, doing the jobs that illegal aliens did before the laws were finally enforced and they were all deported.
3: Do nothing. Fine, it’s a free country, can’t, shouldn’t and won’t force anyone to do anything. But also, no welfare of any kind. Ever.
4: After six months of uninterrupted employment or WPA service, they can elect to go back to school… where they will maintain at least a 2.0 GPA and a spotless behavioral record. Or back to the WPA.

Obama blasts ‘cowardly’ GOP for blocking gun-control laws limiting ‘weapons of war’ amid Boulder mass shooting
“But we can make it harder for those with hate in their hearts to buy weapons of war”
How can you make it harder? Weapons of war tend to cost TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS for American citizens, along with onerous and rights-stomping regulations. “Weapons of war” are almost never used criminally in the United States.
Go away, Barack. You’ve done enough damage to this country. Your legacy of economic and cultural disaster lives on in BidenHarris; let that be enough for you. Don’t add “helped start a civil war” to your ignominious list of disastrous achievements.

This is an interesting looking aircraft, an electric VTOL “air taxi.” it looks like it sprang from the mind of Burt Rutan. No so sure about those vertical lift rotors, though. The range of the Beta Technologies “Alia-250” is to be 250 nautical miles, at which point it needs to recharge. Not sure how long *that* would take; if cars are anything to judge by, it could easily be a number of hours. I wonder how well the aircraft would perform if the batteries were replaced with a small turboshaft engine driving a generator. I also wonder how well it would perform if you removed all the pilot and passenger accommodations, made it autonomous, and loaded it with anti-tank missiles.

Let’s see how they twist this into more “white supremacist violence:”
Suspect in Colorado grocery store shooting charged with 10 counts of murder, police say
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, the 21-year-old suspect in Monday’s massacre at the King Soopers supermarket in the Colorado city of Boulder, faces 10 counts of murder in the first degree, Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold said Tuesday.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa. You can’t get a more MAGA-riffic name than that.
It should be interesting to see the demographics of the victims. (UPDATE: see the end of the post) What I’ve seen so far all indicate a particular ethnic group. Will violence against that particular ethnic group be called out and denounced by the media and out Political Leaders?
UPDATE: A whole bunch of Twitter blue check marks outed themselves as racists… including President Harris’ niece.
UPDATE: This should be considered hearsay until it’s not (I trust “unnamed sources as much as anyone who heard “unnamed sources” claim that Trump colluded with the Russians):
CO GOP HQ was also scoped out, same with a few christian, catholic & mormon churches / LDS temples, not certain yet why he settled for market, per official

UPDATE: the victims.
All the same ethnicity. Will the media wail about the rise in violence against that ethnicity?
