Well the dog walker was shot in the process too.

If there is a ransom attempt, maybe.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yes,but the shooting is barely mentioned. Kidnapping GaGa's dogs is the headline.

@Smokin Joe

Truthfully,I didn't even know anybody sang,or that the inauguration was public. I thought he was already being kept concealed in a special box to protect him and nobody was allowed to see or speak to him,even back then.

Just another bullshit attempt by the media to paint all people who disagree with their specific point of view as being the same as their Antifa stormtroopers. They want so badly for nice, polite, civilized people on the Right to be violently, criminally aggressive, like they are, that they just 'make it up' whenever they can. This accusation is pure propaganda nonsense. It is a Leftist fantasy, which of course they had no problem publishing to the worldwide media.

The problem is, as with any Big Lie, if they say it often enough people will believe it, at least until they realize 'that is ME they are talking about!'.

Some will be cowed by that nonsense, but frankly, like being called a 'racist' because of my skin color, it either wears out and has no effect on me, or it makes people angry that they are being so summarily, callously, and recklessly mischaracterized.

I, for one, am sick of being called and accused names appropriate for what the Left is doing and I am not, while they get lauded for their behaviour.

Nope! I gotta admit,that one slipped by me,even though I was a "hit it and get it" guy from the 70's until,well,tomorrow. I can't remember even giving a female I met casually my real name,never mind tell her where I lived or worked.

I heard today on Fox News that the House Democrats are looking to declare pronouns and any other reference to gender as "illegal" or something to be condemned. This has to do with pleasing the "LBGT community" with is offended by any references to gender. I guess everyone is now an "it" these days or better still "a comrade."

An exclusive private school in New York City sent a memo to parents telling them "mom" and "dad" are unacceptable. Now they are "family members." I guess we are headed toward that village that Hillary Clinton called for years ago in the raising of children.

"Merry Christmas" is also unacceptable, which has been true for a while. Now you must say, "Happy Holidays" or "Have a nice winter break."

When you think about it, all of this fuss about gender based pronouns might come down to a few questions.

Are the members of the LGBT community ashamed of what they are? Are they offended because because the use of a gender based pronouns makes them feel inferior? I remember when gay people talked about "gay pride." Has that now become unacceptable?

This foolishness is one more example of the "Throw it up on the wall and see if it sticks" school of politics. If it does stick, it represents one more way to control behavior and thoughts and destroy western civilization. That's what these people want, and the time has come to shout and emphatic NO! to them. The time has come for decent people to rise up and oppose the rule of political correctness before it destroys our lives.

Under Biden, I think at least some public school systems will be encouraged to adopt this and kids will have to comply.Colleges certainly.

Of course, there are plenty of states under Republican control, and they could use the power of the budget to stop this nonsense. But as usual, they'll complain a lot and do nothing.

‘Now we close the doggie door at night’; South Carolina woman finds coyote in her kitchen

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) – A South Carolina woman recently had a surprise guest in her kitchen.

“One of my dogs came through here, and he started barking and looking all over, like there was a mouse or something,” Sandie Ferguson said as she walked through her kitchen.

Ferguson is a dog-lover. She has two pups of her own and decorates her home with dog-themed art. But the kind of “dog” she got a surprise visit from last weekend was a coyote. She told WSPA he came through a doggie door and pinned himself in the corner of her breakfast room.  ...

When police got there, she said they used dog toys and were able to get the coyote back out the same doggie door he came in. ...

Small breed dogs are like caviar to coyotes. No doubt it thought it had a meal.

Probably wasn't a good idea to coax that critter out.  Coyotes are the 3rd most prevalant carriers of rabies, behind bats and skunks.

Probably because they eat skunks,bats,and anything else that doesn't eat them first.

I have been told that coyote's are VERY smart animals,but everything has to eat,no matter how smart it is.

Unfortunately for them,they are genetically inclined to wander instead of settle down and be tamed,so that is what they do.

Fayetteville man receives last paycheck in oil-covered pennies dumped on his driveway
By Janice Yu
Published 3 days ago
Quote
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga. - A Fayetteville man said his last paycheck from his former employer came in the form of over 90,000 oil- or grease-covered pennies dumped on his driveway.

Andreas Flaten said he left his job at A OK Walker Autoworks in November 2020. He said he was supposed to get his final paycheck, but was having difficulty getting it. ...

In mid-March, Flaten said he finally received the $915 he was owed, but it was not in the form he was expecting.

Flaten said he was leaving his home to go to the store when he noticed the pile of oil-covered pennies. He said on top of the pile was an envelope that said "f--- you" and contained his last paystub.  ...

I saw this on TeeVee.  The wife was happy, because she's already found some rare pennies in it.  She's washing them, and then searching.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO MAKE A PENNY?

About 2.5 cents.

If you`re an average working man or woman in the US, you probably know what is a penny and how one looks. But how much does it really cost to make it ? Without giving it too much thought you’d say it shouldn’t cost more than the actual penny value. This isn’t the case, it costs more making a penny than its value. Why would the US government spend more to make a penny than it would get from its value? It’s easy: the coin will be used in a lot of transactions, so the cost does worth it when you think about it.

One of my former students keeps a .22 mag Rifle next to the kitchen door. when she lets her 12 lb dog out in the evening. the gun goes with her. so far she has had to put down 3 of them in 5 years. I asked her if a .22 mag wasn't kind of light for a coyote. She said one shot in t he head is all it takes. She is one heck of a good shot.

US man returns from swift shopping trip to find 15,000 bees in his car
New Mexico man did not initially notice giant swarm, which had got in through an open window while he was inside supermarket
April 1, 2021
The Guardian (U.K.)
Quote
A man who went shopping in New Mexico returned to a car filled with 15,000 honey bees who had apparently got in through an open window while he spent 10 minutes buying groceries.

Astonishingly, the man – who was not named in the New York Times report detailing his unexpected travel companions – did not notice the sudden presence of a giant swarm of buzzing insects on his vehicle’s back seat until he was driving away.

“Then he turned back and looked and like was ‘holy cow’,” Jesse Johnson, an off-duty firefighter and paramedic whose hobby is beekeeping, said of the man’s reaction in an interview with the paper. “He called 911 because he didn’t know what to do.” ...

Not unusual when the bees are following a queen to make a new colony, I had smaller swarms three times in trees at a home in Anaheim. It was unnerving in a tree in the yard, I can't imagine it inside my car especially if I started to get in before I noticed.

Nearly naked man was doing ‘walk of shame’ after cheating on his wife

Brian Niemietz  7 hrs ago




A South Carolina man wearing only a “clear bag over his genitals” while walking around with a joint in his hand told Spartanburg police he’d cheated on his wife and was doing “the walk of shame” as penance.

According to a police report posted to The Smoking Gun, Michael Boatman told cops he had also smoked meth before going on his 1 a.m. stroll. The 41-year-old was wrestled to the ground after telling police he had to complete his walk, trying to wander away and ignoring verbal commands to stop.

I support the police on this one.  When you see a naked man holding a clear bag plasitc covering a hard-on while walking around with a joint in his hand... I take it he's not out collecting for the Red Cross.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Transgender woman, 24, is forced to have testicle removed after it became twisted in agonising injury caused by 'tucking'

    Trans woman, 24, gave herself testicular torsion by tucking them into her body
    She was admitted to hospital in Davao City, Philippines, because of the pain 
    Doctors explained removing both testicles would cause permanent infertility

A transgender woman needed to have one of her testicles removed because of her habit of 'tucking' – made famous through hit TV show Ru Paul's Drag Race.

The unidentified 24-year-old, from the Philippines, had not yet undergone full gender reassignment surgery.

The avid cross-dresser pushed her testicles back into her stomach four times a week ever since becoming an adult, in an effort to hide her genitals.  ...

Not at all. I have known some women who have "balls", but that is a figurative term, not literal, and often one of respect. That being >ahem< twisted resulted in some progress toward the apparent identity this person craves (but will never attain) seems pitifully  ironic to me.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

US man returns from swift shopping trip to find 15,000 bees in his car
New Mexico man did not initially notice giant swarm, which had got in through an open window while he was inside supermarket
April 1, 2021
The Guardian (U.K.)

Quote
A man who went shopping in New Mexico returned to a car filled with 15,000 honey bees who had apparently got in through an open window while he spent 10 minutes buying groceries.

Astonishingly, the man – who was not named in the New York Times report detailing his unexpected travel companions – did not notice the sudden presence of a giant swarm of buzzing insects on his vehicle’s back seat until he was driving away.

“Then he turned back and looked and like was ‘holy cow’,” Jesse Johnson, an off-duty firefighter and paramedic whose hobby is beekeeping, said of the man’s reaction in an interview with the paper. “He called 911 because he didn’t know what to do.” ...

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO MAKE A PENNY?

About 2.5 cents.

Thus sounds EXACTLY like the type of enterprise our federal government would be involved.  They  figure they can make up the difference in volume.

Member of Parliament seen naked while on zoom in the House of Commons
At this time, it is unclear who the alleged Liberal Member of Parliament is, but a Quebec flag is seen in the frame of the individual’s office. On social media, users are speculating that the man seen naked on a parliament zoom call is William Amos, a Liberal MP for Pontiac in Quebec.
