Self defense you idiot

But the problem with this position is that it’s hard to identify exactly what property is supposed to do the work of excluding the unborn from the ranks of humans whom it is wrong to kill

ROSS DOUTHAT, one of the welfare bums at NRO making up law.

Self defense is well established legally. This is one of the nutcases fucking up the federal judiciary with make shit up. If the state does not allow self defense, the Ross and the boneheads at NRO can set up fetus camps and save every fetus human in the USA. Put you money where you mouth is and leave Thomas and the Supreme idiots out of the debate.

NRO needs to shut itself down for stupidity, they add nothng to the debates.

Republicans will get my vote if they keep this up

Senate Republicans on Monday blocked a mammoth defense policy bill, throwing the legislation into limbo as Congress heads into a packed year-end schedule.

The Senate voted 45-51 to start winding down debate on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which sets spending levels and policy for the Pentagon. But that is short of the 60 votes needed to overcome the hurdle.

But they eventually will hear whining from the welfare bums at NRO.

Taper tantrum of sorts

A mass exodus from bets on higher rates appears to have accelerated Friday’s explosive Treasury-market rally during a holiday-shortened session.

In eurodollar futures -- an analog of the Treasury yield curve -- early positioning data show there was wholesale dumping as initial reports about the omicron coronavirus variant threatened to knock down expectations for multiple Federal Reserve rate hikes next year. Staggering declines in open interest across a range of contracts in CME Group’s preliminary data suggest that exits from hawkish Fed bets helped fuel the extreme gains.

As soon as Powell planned a fake Taper, the forces of Untaper have gathered, from Janet on down to the public sector janitor to the retail trader.  The whole taper nonsense might boil down to a simple dodge and weave to save face at the Fed.

California Delusionals in the Swamp taking a pot shot at Jerry Brown's 'reform'

We just learned that the U.S. Department of Labor has denied California $12 billion in transit funding, including grants from the recently signed infrastructure bill. The reason? A 1964 federal law requires the labor department to certify that the state agencies seeking any mass-transit grants are "protecting the interests of any affected employees," The Fresno Bee reported.

So, the Biden administration is claiming that California—the state that provides its public employees with unparalleled pay and pension benefits, and provides collective-bargaining rights unheard of anywhere else—is being mean to its "affected" public employees because the state passed a 2013 law, authored by Democrats, that infinitesimally reined in pension benefits.

The ultimate goal of the Delusionals is to convert BBB into a cash stimulus that goes directly to public sector pensions and wages.  There is a long standing battle for tax base, and this is just another way to get cash to the Cal teachers, mostly.

Because it is not where we vote.

Why Won’t Washington Speak Out about the Latest Crisis in Iran?

And speaking out about stuff we do not vote ends up with NRO having to advocate more defense budget. We are getting tired of NRO nuts running up the budget.

 How online shopping is polluting California’s Inland Empire

In California’s Inland Empire, dozens of mega-warehouses for Amazon, UPS and other companies are choking the cities with traffic and air pollution. Some argue that the jobs warehouses provide aren’t worth the cost, while others say it’s online shopping that’s the real problem.

This was my first thought during the 2008 oil shock.

The California delusionals the surround Biden, for example. We have never seen such a confused bunch, mostly put there by the Cal teachers union. That union was the largest contributor to Biden's campaign and is the reason we are stuck with Kamala. Now we are stuck again with the Trumpster crowd.

The Swamp is a hopeless mass of confusion.

There was an indefensible assumption at the root of Ahmaud Arbery’s killing in a quiet coastal Georgia town. Contrary to everything you’ve read and heard in the mainstream media, it was not a racial assumption. It was a legalassumption.

Contrary to his after the fact assertions the two boneheads we racist pricks committing cold blooded murder.

Not with Kamala on the ticket. She is a certain loser.

Oil down below 78, ten year drops to 1.55

 The dollar must be happy!   This is oil. This is Texas delivering the stuff down that simple pipe to Texas ports. The rising dollar makes imports cheaper. But there is a major disconnect in finding the loop. The Swamp needs taxes, and the banks are getting taper.  That is a point of Fed remits, and the Swamp plan sto give their SALT tax back to blue states, another point.

Now suddenly, we are screwed, interest expense is back to four points of GDP. And all this just in time for some major COLA adjustments of five to six points.

No Kamala, no Cal teachers money for Joe

Kamala Harris sidelined amid growing tensions with Biden, insiders say

Trump was a disaster, but not a worse disaster than the boneheads in the Dem primary. So the Dems made a pact with the devil and we got Kamala as VP.  Now the issue is how to get rid of her,. From the beginning her only skill was color genderizing for the mentally ill teachers we keep in California.

Bringing me back to the main point, WTF does the rest of the Nation do with California, that place is harder to get rid of than Kamala. The states cannot live with California, California gums up the work something fierce.

Stupid fuck repubs.

Good enough election for Central America

The Biden administration is threatening to take action against Nicaragua over the election held on Sunday which resulted in Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega securing a fourth term.

President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken both released statements declaring the election a "sham" and threatening new sanctions. "What Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and his wife, Vice President Rosario Murillo, orchestrated today was a pantomime election that was neither free nor fair, and most certainly not democratic," the White House statement said.

I might add that we are not totally a proportional democracy, but mostly a republic.
