And it is truly extraordinary.
“I do not want this to happen, I will be terribly upset if it does; BUT I WILL DEFEND to my last breath enabling women convicts to be raped!”
Well good for her! Hoist by her own Narrative…
(Though I guess she may have thought she was hearting Voltaire…)

In any event, a victory for decency. A victory for Scotland and the vast majority of its people.
(Time to celebrate with some haggis and oatmeal, I guess. Oh, and some Laphroaig…or a smokey equivalent)…

Sturgeon was catching a lot of flak for allowing biological males into women’s prisons and other formerly protected spaces– the uproar was a major factor in her decision to resign.

“The Seymour Hersh situation gives such an interesting insight into confirmation bias.”

‘“I believe him because of all the details”
All the details turn out to verifiably incorrect.
“The details don’t matter, he is still right!” ‘—

Sturgeon goes belly up:
“Nicola Sturgeon resigns from leading Scotland as first minister”—
https://justthenews.com/world/europe/nicola-sturgeon-resigns-leading-scotland-first-minister

Not sure it’s much of a surprise, actually, as she was pushing the envelope pretty hard…
HOLD ON! How can “not much of a surprise” be a “veritable bombshell”??
(Kinda reminds me of the last time I tried beluga—a definite “What’s all the excitement about” moment it was…but I guess there’s no arguing about taste…)

“I’m leaving the FTC — and Biden’s radical chair is why”—
https://hotair.com/headlines/2023/02/14/im-leaving-the-ftc-and-bidens-radical-chair-is-why-n530774
H/T Instapundit.
Opening graf:
“Under President Biden, FTC leadership has abused the merger review process to impose a tax on all mergers, not only those that hinder competition. Progressives tried but failed to enact a legislative moratorium on mergers in early 2020 and to pass other restrictions since. Ms. Khan now does so by fiat. Abuse of regulatory authority now substitutes for unfulfilled legislative desires….”

“Use it and abuse it” seems to be “Biden”‘s credo….

“Officials say Biden manipulating border stats, blinding agents to fleeing aliens;
“Former acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf says border agents being restrained from using surveillance balloons to track illegal migrants.”—
https://justthenews.com/government/security/ex-homeland-chief-says-biden-manipulating-border-stats-blinding-agents-fleeing
Opening graf:
“Current and former U.S. officials are warning that the Biden administration has begun manipulating border statistics, incentivizing illegal aliens to shift from illegally crossing the southern border to seeking parole and asylum at ports of entry while blinding border agents by restricting their use of surveillance balloons….”

“Manipulating border statistics”?
Gosh, who would ever have suspected that…?
(Next step is to give ’em all the right to vote…I mean it would be inhumane not to, right? …And totally counter to the American Dream!…The only problem here being that for the Democrats, the “American Dream” is a country transformed into unrecognizability, disfunction and deep despair. Heck, let’s just call it by its name: a country destroyed.)

File under: Manipulation ‘splainin’…
