Journalist Matt Taibbi is a
hero for exposing prior to Musk’s purchase of Twitter the involvement of
federal agencies in censoring conservative views but instead the ranking Blue member of the
House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal
Government outraged that the truth on the collusion of the DOJ and FBI with
Twitter is threatening him with perjury for conflating CISA with CIS even after
admitting his error and deleting a tweet wound the leftist Blues with the truth
and they become like a dangerous wounded animal. Kim Potter will be released on
Monday and her mug shot is of a deteriorated woman. The gig economy helped to
save us from a major depression and the pandemic closed many business across
the nation went out of business but it looks like Biden’s nominee for Labor
Secretary Julie Su is before the Senate Committee
on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions as the queen of unionization and the
elimination of thousands upon thousands of independent contractors with her intent
to bring California’s failed and cumbersome AB 5’s goal to significantly reduce
the number of independent contractors and assuming the job they were doing make
them employees. In a great disappointment to Musk’s desire to reach the Moon
and Mars, the massive rocket SpaceX would use blew up 4 minutes into its
flight. Driving in Texas has just gotten a little safer and as 50 yr. old Christopher
Faran Stanford (no relation to Leland Stanford) with 8 DWI’s, 4 of which
required prison time picked up this 9th with a BAC of .267 pled guilty and was sentenced to life in
prison.

Famous Quotes on Events and Issues:
Edward Cullen, Columbine: After Columbine there was a nation review to determine how police could react in a manner to reduce the casualties: “Columbine also changed police response to attacks. No more perimeters. A national task force was organized to develop a new plan. In 2003, it released “The Active Shooter Protocol.” The gist was simple: If the shooter seems active, storm the building. Move toward the sound of gunfire. Disregard even victims. There is one objective: Neutralize the shooters. Stop them or kill them.”
