Bullet Points:

** If President Trump was guilty of a crime, why did the Congressional J6 Committee destroy the proceeding records?

** VDH on the Biden—Harris Regime. Somehow, the United States ended up this summer with no engaged president and an absent vice president who avoided the missing president and is frantically repudiating everything she co-owned the last three years.

The world was already confused over how President Joe Biden was declared by unnamed Democratic insiders and donors unfit and unable to continue as their presidential candidate—as if he were a dethroned Third-World usurper.

It further wondered how those who staged his removal had no problem allowing him, in his debilitated state, to continue as America’s commander-in-chief until January 20, 2025. They demonstrated their priorities that focus on retaining power, not the welfare of the nation or the will of over 14 million Biden primary voters.

Vice President Kamala Harris, until Biden’s forced abdication, was judged by these same backroom fixers as too incompetent ever to be commander-in-chief and thus, for three years, a good reason why Biden was not forced out earlier.

Now, nominal Vice President Harris is on the campaign trail nonstop, while Biden has taken the most vacation time off and has worked the shortest workweek in presidential memory. (continues at the link)

** (Gateway Pundit) The truth about Covid. This won’t come as ‘news.’  — They wanted to know how many people would comply with a complete re-ordering of their lives based on no science at all, just random orders, some of which bordered on absurdity.

** Winter is coming (right) – a gentle reminder for those who forgot.

** 10-33 Go! South Central Los Angeles – 1985.

Gentrification is decades away. Rival gang members besiege the streets, alleys, and parks. They no longer fight with knives and chains but now kill each other—and many innocent bystanders—with modern and more deadly weapons: AK-47s, Mac-10s, and Uzi machine pistols. Citizens live in fear behind barred windows. Children sleep on the floor to avoid stray bullets, and their mothers huddled beside them.

And the cops of Firestone station put themselves in harm’s way to make life a little safer for the vulnerable.

Raised on the mean streets of Compton, veteran patrol deputy Tony Delgado, along with his partner, Larry Scampton, make it their mission to find would-be cop killer Terrell “T-rock” Young, who is also responsible for the death of a little girl. When Delgado and Scampton take their trainees to the projects to hunt for him, they come under fire. Is T-rock lying in wait for them?

10-33 Go! is an action-packed, standalone street cop novel by the best-selling author of the award-winning Dickie Floyd Detective series, Danny R. Smith. If you enjoy authentic police procedurals written by someone who lived the life, you’ll love this riveting tale of tough cops and the hardcore gangsters they pursue. Danny is a friend; his books are well-written and authentic. Think about the purchase.

** I’m not saying I’m old, but when I was a kid, we made our parents’ ashtrays for Christmas.

** If there is anyone who cares what the Cheneys think, I don’t know them. Of course, they endorse Kamalah. They are united in their Blobiness. Heck, Lynn could be SecDef under Kamalah. That would ensure the forever war continues. The Cheneys will support anyone who promises a forever war.

** “State and local election officials from across the country on Wednesday warned that problems with the nation’s mail delivery system threaten to disenfranchise voters in the upcoming presidential election, telling the head of the U.S. Postal Service that it hasn’t fixed persistent deficiencies.

In an alarming letter, the officials said that over the past year, including the just-concluded primary season, mailed ballots postmarked on time were received by local election offices days after the deadline to be counted. They also noted that properly addressed election mail was being returned to them as undeliverable, a problem that could automatically send voters to inactive status through no fault of their own, potentially creating chaos when those voters show up to cast a ballot. The officials also said that repeated outreach to the Postal Service to resolve the issues had failed and that the widespread nature of the problems made it clear these were “not one-off mistakes or a problem with specific facilities. Instead, it demonstrates a pervasive lack of understanding and enforcement of USPS policies among its employees.”

Oversight

The following information is from the watchdog group Empower Oversight.

Recently, a judge ruled to unseal two nondisclosure orders partially but kept most documents hidden without explaining the need for continued secrecy. Empower Oversight questioned whether the DOJ had been transparent with the court and raised concerns about constitutional separation of powers issues.

“While we appreciate the opportunity to intervene and the partial unsealing, it doesn’t answer the key questions we are asking—particularly whether the Justice Department was honest with the court in the applications and whether it flagged the serious constitutional separation of powers issues involved here. The key information is still being hidden from Congress and the public,” said Empower Oversight president Tristan Leavitt.

“While we appreciate the opportunity to intervene and the partial unsealing, it doesn’t answer the key questions we are asking—in particular whether the Justice Department was honest with the court in the applications and whether it flagged the serious constitutional separation of powers issues involved here. The key information is still being hid from Congress and the public”

Tristan Leavitt, President, Empower Oversight

Empower Oversight is exploring several options to push for more transparency:

  • A separate FOIA suit by Empower Oversight;
  • A congressional subpoena from the House Judiciary Committee;
  • An oversight letter from Senators Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, and Chuck Grassley;
  • An upcoming public report by the Justice Department Inspector General that will likely require unsealing additional documents (“Review of the Department of Justice’s Use of Subpoenas and Other Legal Authorities to Obtain Communication Records of Members of Congress and Affiliated Persons, and the News Media”).

The judge noted Empower Oversight’s concerns about the DOJ’s possible misuse of subpoena power to identify whistleblowers. However, the court did not address other constitutional issues linked to subpoenas and gag orders.

In May, Empower Oversight filed a motion to unseal documents tied to the DOJ’s subpoenas for phone and email records of congressional members and attorneys. Even after the case was closed, the DOJ continued renewing gag orders. Empower Oversight argued the court needed to fully understand the subpoenas’ scope, especially regarding separation of powers.

“The key questions remain open,” said Empower Oversight’s founder, Jason Foster. “Congress needs to learn whether the court knew and considered that the subpoenas targeted Members and Committee attorneys during their constitutional oversight of the DOJ.”

        1. Actually the SLAM went to you both. Sometimes the comments don’t match the response exactly.

          1. Is there an amphibious version of the DAGOR called the DAGON ? If you
            recruited Innsmouthians, it could just work like a wet sub…

  5. heck a couple weeks ago the haitians were eating each other. and we’re still flying them in by the thousands.

  6. Opening Pic- My new Wallpaper…invokes Colonial-era brashness, something We Need The People need right about now.

    VDH- Heard him yesterday on Prager talking about your post, simple truth to the despicable happenings at the hands of a bunch of losers. Worse, Harris’ picture and her fake supporters continue to pop up everywhere like she’s an actual candidate If I see another picture her goofball smiling face I’m going to hurl. She is a totally illegitimate, including not being a Natural Born citizen…but hey, rules don’t apply for the Cheater Dem’s. Talk about propping up the dancing chicken puppet. Their approach: Hate America/Destroy America. Anyone supporting The Vacuous One is a Dementor.

Special place in Hell.

    BUT…despite the chaos all around by a bunch of ninny’s and nudges and narcissists, today, despite my best efforts to the opposite, I somehow managed to survive another turn around the universe…25 with 39 years of seasoning. My plan is to eat nothing but ice cream and pink snowballs all day with a mondo bonfire later fitting for 64 years on the planet. (Despite it being Friday the 13th…which this year is – interesting – I was born on a Tuesday…well, according to mom.)

      1. Tusand Tak!…a good day considering life’s curveballs…but…I could always hit a curveball, just have to follow it in and keep your eye on the ball.

  7. * “Winter is coming” I’ve tried skiing (when I was younger and more foolish/adventurous), but, thank you, I prefer snow: lots of it, the more the merrier – and yes! I always found a shovel to be an excellent instrument for abs and shoulders exercise.
    * We have a number of National Treasures, among them (not to dismiss our current host by any means) are Thomas Sowell and Victor Davis Hanson.
    * BTW: My Keeshond asked me, “How do you prepare a Haitian?”

  8. “Winter is coming” – I greatly prefer winter, mostly because the chance of spontaneous human combustion drops to zero or just single digits. Plus, I like not sweating heavily enough to wet other people when going outside. We call that projectile sweating. Days like today, August 44th, that can be triggered simply by going out to the mailbox.

    I have no data to draw real numbers from, but my energy costs (electric bill) doubles in the summer to stay comfortable. I’m guessing we’re just half a year out of phase with those of you living in places with four seasons. Your costs peak in late winter, my costs peak in late summer.

    1. It disturbs me that when you have a formation of men and ask for volunteers to test something like that and offer an extra day of liberty in exchange, 20% will go for it. It must also explain the popularity of Darwin Awards.

  10. X-Box. Those were the days. After dove season, you could buy a box of 100 12ga dove loads for about $20 on sale at Longs drug store.

    1. “Jap”?? – Geez Mike, so pedestrian of you in this non-gmo free-range organic DEI elightened day and age.

        1. Speaking of Japan, I believe it was Tsunayoshi (1646–1709), who was nicknamed “the dog Shogun” for his fanatical protection, making it a capital crime to harm a dog.
          “No inu for dinner tonight, dear, the Shōgun has requested we go vegan.”

          1. I know that the Japanese always looked down on Koreans as “garlic eaters” but I don’t know if that extended to the practice of eating dogs (primarily yellow labs).

  13. When Vietnamese refugees arrived on American shores and settled in Little Saigon (Westminster, Garden Grove – extending to Irvine, CA), not a stray cat crawled, dog barked, or pigeon flew. In Irvine, I dare you to find a lurking feral cat near the University of Chinese Immigrants (UCI). Riddle me THAT.

    1. Italy… cat on pizza … learned post eating.
      *
      Places best forgotten, cat, dog, rat .. on a pizza.. knew before hand…
      *
      Rat wasn’t too bad…

    2. In France, rabbits sold for meat have to have the feet still attached, else one can buy roof-rabbit, aka ‘Le Chat’ or in Anglais, cat, kitty, pudy-tat, Mr. Meowsers…

      And horsemeat was sold here in the US till the 1950’s, when it suddenly became verboten.

      1. In many places in Africa (more often Western Africa), meat sold usually has a piece of the skin/hide attached so that the purchaser can recognize the species they bought for dinner. Meat sold without skin is called ‘bush meat’—human flesh, even in 2024. Fact-check that, you ABC News pukes.
