 Ultimately this scene will be deemed collateral damage and everybody except the victim’s family will go back to eating donuts and playing on their phones.

     We pay each officer good money for a day’s work, but when called, they tend to run in with overwhelming force – guns blazing, shouting commands, without asking questions, or expecting answers.. Each incident is seemingly mandated to be resolved within minutes of contacting whomever seems to be the scariest,  without taking the time to understand the situation. Time after time again, the chief of some municipalities police promises transparency, and ends up repeating the same explanation as last time.

     No. I don’t really want to defund the police. I simply want them to live up to their motto of “serve and protect”, and  earn their days pay – one incident at a time

In-N-Out management states that they will not be the vaccine police for any government. Fine with me. I don’t like them greasy cholesterol sandwiches any more anyway. I suspect that they brown their buns by sopping up burger grease from the grill. At least we now know which side their buns are buttered on. Why can’t businesses shut up and dribble.

Chappelle has transcended the entertainment genre known as comedian. He may have caught

our attention, performing joke after joke, but he is now a storyteller. He commands our attention and forces us to follow a narrative. Once he has us thinking, he let’s us off the hook with a punchline. Now you don’t know if he was serious or just pulling your leg. Note that I sarcastically said that YOU don’t know what to think. I get it. It was only funny because you don’t want to face the fact that he tossed in your face. I have never heard Mark Twain, but I’ve heard that was his M/O. I have heard Dick Gregory and George Carlin. They ultimately transcended comedy, and became ambassadors of thought provoking social commentary. If you haven yet recognized that Dave Chappelle is taking you down the same journey – you will.

It took Jenner 60 years to decide who the Hell he was. How do we know that she might change her mind again. If he thinks that’s a good look for the Governor of the state of California, then he needs to stop reading his own PR campaigns.

If Elder thinks the answer to California problems is to Defund public schools and re-distribute school tax dollars to rich folks, So they can declare both their school vouchers AND their private school tuition on their taxes, it just proves that his public school education was indeed wasted on him.

If Cox thinks that cutting taxes in California by 25% will somehow resolve California Forest/wild fire problems, its his pants that are on fire.

If Falulconer thinks that he cleaned up the homeless problem in San Diego when he was mayor, he must live and play, up near Lego Land…

     Did democrats simply overplay their hand.
Much angst and pearl clutching is underway because the GOP is not willing to risk the timing of any political advantage.
When Obama won his second term in 2008, lady Ginsburg was at the tender age of 75. She was already having health issues and I said back then that we were treating her like a Pope, and should not expect her to serve until we saw the smoke rising from a bell tower. I was only thinking as a human being – and not a political analyst. Meanwhile there were political hacks, studying the calculus that suggested that Justice Ginsburg retire, to insure that the high Court could benefit from a a healthy, youthful justice for the next generation. I don’t know if it was her stubborn streak or the parties’ naivety that stayed that position.
In 2015, the subject was again broached, but to no avail, partly because the DNC was deep in super delegate shenanigans, meant to deny Bernie Sanders their nomination, so that the “First Woman” president could be coronated. Once the GOP stumbled upon the most flawed and ridiculous nominee in their storied history, the DNC relaxed and took their eyes off the SCOTUS ball. The gamble was allowed and the risk was taken to allow Justice Ginsberg to hold her seat, so that Miss Clinton could also be the “first woman” to name a justice on the Supreme Court.
The Democratic party too often engages in wishful thinking, designed to finger paint glorious fairy tales for future history books. Their opponents remain grounded in the dogma of ancient history and never misses an opportunity to try again to have it trickle down.
They hate the ACA for no other reason than that Rush Limbaugh told them so, when it was called HillaryCare, and they blindly want to see it wiped from their memory. ObamaCare as it is now called also reminds them that the first black president existed. The high Court is also important to them because a balanced court denied Reagan the chance to defeat Roe v Wade. The third rail of their discontent – GUNS will be secure if they diligently follow their dogmatic blueprint for success.
Now the Democratic party is crying foul – as they now face the loss of three seats on the bench, due to their own failure to be as forward looking as their nick name progressive claims to be. Their conservative opponents have a much easier task – refusing to progress at all cost.
