Why Are Red States Exempt?

Dear Donny has been flexing what muscle he has in DC and in turn is threatening other Blue States and cities with federal intervention….like NYC, California, Chicago, etc…..but why are Red sites exempt from this  intervention?

The New York Times’ David W. Chen, in an article published on Labor Day 2025, emphasizes that some of the most violent cities in the U.S. are in red states.

“When Tennessee’s Republican governor, Bill Lee, dispatched his National Guard troops to Washington to support President Trump’s crackdown on crime,” Chen reports, “Democrats and other critics wondered why he didn’t keep them within state lines. Memphis, after all, has long been one of the most dangerous cities in the country, with a murder rate about twice as high as the nation’s capital, according to FBI statistics. Nashville has a higher rate of violent crime than Washington as well.”

The New York Times reporter continues, “The same questions could be asked of other Republican governors like Greg Abbott in Texas, Mike DeWine in Ohio and Mike Kehoe in Missouri, since cities under their purview all have higher rates of violent crime than the nation’s capital. Yet no Republican governor has asked for federal intervention.”

Chen notes that the “image of red-state governors mustering uniformed troops for duty in blue-state cities” has “left many Americans with the foreboding sense of a nation dangerously divided, perhaps even drifting toward open conflict.”

Chen explains, “Kansas City, St. Louis and Springfield, Mo.; Birmingham, Ala.; Cleveland, Dayton and Toledo, Ohio; Tulsa, Okla.; Memphis and Nashville; Houston; Little Rock, Ark.; Salt Lake City; and Shreveport, La., all have crime rates comparable to Washington’s, according to FBI statistics…. Indeed, Republican governors who have so far declined to ask the president for an intervention in their cities might be tempted to rethink that stance.”

Why indeed.

First it sits well with those mental midgets that are die hard MAGA fans to blame everything on Dems….second it is Little Donny Do-wrong getting even with people and places that have somehow ‘wronged’ him in the past.

Ignorant policy from an ignorant man.

From The ‘Can’t Fix Stupid’ Files

Closing Thought–12Jul21

South Dakota AG is in a spot of trouble….seems he hit and killed a man with his car…..but like all politicians it was not his fault…..

Jason Ravnsborg is really looking for an out. The South Dakota attorney general who struck and killed Joe Boever with his car back in September of 2020 is now claiming the victim wanted to die. Boever, whose glasses were found inside Ravnsborg’s car and whose lit flashlight was found off the road and near his body, had recently started taking a prescription anti-anxiety medicine, Keloland reports. Ravnsborg’s defense team filed a court document requesting the victim’s psychiatric records. That document quotes Boever’s cousin Barnabas Nemec saying he believes Boever threw himself in front of the car on purpose.

The filing claims that Boever was working his way through a bottle of Lorazepam faster than prescribed, and that the common medicine can cause suicidal ideation. It also says evidence points to Boever walking in the road instead of the shoulder. That’s a take that another cousin, Nick Nemec, disputes, the Daily Beast reports. “Joe was on the shoulder of the road,” he said, “So, that, I would think, would indicate he wasn’t out trying to jump in front of a car.” He also said that he’d seen no indication that Boever was suicidal. Prosecutors say Ravnsborg had been using his phone while driving shortly before the accident, per the Argus Leader

Scapegoating the victim…..a great American legal tradition.

No one knows what was in the ind of the victim other than himself…..this defense is as old as this country…..use someone who cannot testify as the culprit.

Birds Of A Feather?

The “Flock” is getting larger.

It is interesting to see all the legal allegations swirling around the GOP and its leaders….(I need to say here that the situations that I post here are just allegations and not a done deal)…..

Of course the most loud news is around the Dear Leader and his knowledge of what Russia has done and if he was part of the attacks….then there is Our Dear Leader’s children and what they knew about any tampering that may have occurred….and the people that were part of the campaign that are in legal jeopardy as I type….

Now let’s go to the Trump administration….the cabinet…..corruption runs deep from Zinke to Ross to Pruitt…all of whom were part of the GOP legislative institution…..that are now under investigation for their misuse of taxpayer funds on purely personal things.

What about the House of Representatives today…..well there is the sexual abuse allegations that Rep. Jim Jordan is said to have been aware of but failed to act……many wrestlers from the Ohio State team have come forward and Jordan was an assistant coach at the time……(more info from a post I wrote)…….

Then just yesterday another member of the House of Representatives was arrested for insider trading……

Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., has been arrested on insider trading charges lodged by the Justice Department, law enforcement officials said Wednesday morning.

An indictment obtained from a federal grand jury also charges Collins’ son, Cameron Collins, as well as the father of his fiancee, Stephen Zarsky.

The indictment relates to Australian biotech company Innate Immunotherapeutics, on which Collins served as a board member.

In June 2017, Collins passed nonpublic information about Innate’s drug trial results to his son in order to help him “make timely trades in Innate stock and tip others,” the indictment alleges.

This GOP is a greedy, corrupt lot……my personal opinion.  Most no longer have any integrity that they can mortgage….

Let me say here that these are allegations against some politicos….no one has been convicted……and in this country contrary to what most Righties feel….everyone is innocent until proven otherwise……(that unless you may be Liberal then all allegations are spot on)

So I Have Written!

What sane person would get on this bandwagon?

Can you believe it?

I am just amazed that there are morons like these toads…..nuke ’em and be done with their lunacy.  Period!

Should Predictions Have Consequences?

The weekend and time to lighten up the posts from the drudgery of politics and the 2012 election……

I have heard a lot of stuff that is illegal in other countries….like women driving or spitting in public or……..you get the idea….but I recently heard one that even I thought was moronic……

(Newser) – An Italian court has convicted six scientists for failing to predict a deadly earthquake, which, congratulations, puts it in the running for “dumbest court in the world,” reads the headline to a post by Elie Mystal at the Above the Law blog. Prosecutors blamed the six for providing “inaccurate, incomplete, and contradictory information” prior to the quake. “No, you freaking idiots, THE EARTH provided inaccurate, incomplete, and contradictory information about whether or not she was going to destroy your insignificant human settlement,” writes Mystal. “The scientists were just trying to make a guess.” He draws a comparison to the persecution of Galileo, which is a common refrain:

  • Dan Murphy, Christian Science Monitor: “Rarely since a Catholic inquisition in Rome condemned Galileo Galilei to spend the remainder of his days under house arrest for the heresy of teaching that the Earth revolves around the sun, has an Italian court been so wrong about science.”
  • Lord Robert May: “The verdict might have been understandable in the Dark Ages, standing alongside the persecution of Galileo, but in today’s world it simply is an embarrassment to the Italian government and anyone associated with it,” the Oxford professor tells AFP.
  • Buzz Skyline, PhysicsCentral: “If the convictions stand, it will mean it’s dangerous for scientists to advise on science matters in Italy. Then all they will have left is tea leaves, Tarot cards, and psychics. What a way to waste the Renaissance.”

Now after I thought about it maybe we could use this as a template for global warming……thoughts?

More Cowards Come Out Of The Woodwork

A Daily Agitation

A few days ago I posted on an article that I had read about some Captain that was wussing out of his deployment saying that Obama was not legally the prez…..a moron?  You bet your butt he is…..but he is not alone as was reported by USA Today on line:

There are some more twists and turns this morning in the ongoing saga of an Army reservist who has challenged his ordered deployment to Afghanistan by arguing that President Obama is not a legal citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to be president and commander-in-chief.

A retired two-star general and an active reserve Air Force lieutenant general have now joined the case, the Ledger-Enquirer newspaper of Columbus, Ga., which originally broke the story.

Cook’s lawyer, in revising the original filing, now argues that the issue is not moot and adds that retired Maj. Gen. Carol Dean Childers and active U.S. Air Force reservist Lt. Col. David Earl Graeff have joined the suit “because it is a matter of unparalleled public interest and importance and because it is clearly a matter arising from issues of a recurring nature that will escape review unless the Court exercises its discretionary jurisdiction.”

This is just silly sh*t brought up by morons……that was harsh to call them morons….okay….f*cking COWARDS…do you like that title better?

Hey dipsticks…he was born in Hawaii unless you do not consider the island of yuppies and rich a/holes a state…then maybe.
