Another day, another roundup
(1) One of Trump’s newly-appointed prosecutors is Matthew Colangelo:
…[At the DOJ] Colangelo was involved in some of the most ideologically driven election law decisions of the Eric Holder era – ranging from attacks on Voter ID laws to failing to enforce federal laws requiring states to maintain voter rolls.
In sum, Bragg has appointed a militant leftist attorney to prosecute Donald Trump in New York City. A Harvard Law graduate, Colangelo has used his powers and position to advance far-left ideological aims. His abuse of power has cost taxpayers millions of dollars in one state.
That’s exactly the sort of person I’d expect to be working on the Trump case – a hyper-partisan fighter.
(2) I wonder whether the people Trump describes here will be rooted out and fired or removed:
“When I went to the courthouse, which is also a prison in a sense, they signed me in and I’ll tell you, people were crying,” he said. “People that work there, professionally work there, that have no problems putting in murderers and they see everybody. It’s tough, tough place and they were crying. They were actually crying.”
“They said, ‘I’m sorry.’ They’d say, ‘2024, sir. 2024.’ And tears are pouring down their eyes. I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said. “Those people are phenomenal. Those are your police. Those are the people that work at the courthouse. They’re unbelievable people. Many of them were in tears or close to it. Many apologies.
Of course, he might be exaggerating. But even New York City has some people on the right.
(3) Glenn Greenwald on coverage of the Nashville shooter:
“This Nashville shooting has been erased from memory even though it happened very recently because it’s such an inconvenient narrative given that the shooter was not just someone who was trans but very possibly acted on behalf of this radical ideology,” Greenwald told Kelly.
“And amazingly they won’t show us the manifesto even though we always see the manifesto when they can link it to the right,” greenwald continue, adding “We’ve retained counsel in Nashville to try to obtain that manifesto because it’s journalistically in the public interest.”…
“So somehow a shooting by what appeared to be somebody motivated by at least in part radical theories of gender ideology and killed Christian children in the name of that ideology,” Greenwald continued, “Somehow that has been turned around so that whoever is concerned about that [component] of the story is now back to being a 1960s Jim Crow racist.”
“Of course it wouldn’t work without the media’s cooperation…
I’m glad to hear they’re trying to get the manifesto.
(4) The Biden administration is really pushing electric cars:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled new vehicle emissions that could force manufacturers to make two out every three vehicles run on electricity by 2032.
What could possibly go wrong?
(5) Democrats plan to hold their 2024 convention in Chicago. Seems fitting.
I wonder if, like the EPA’s effort to eliminate coal, someone will sue the EPA. These proposed emission standards are clearly designed to remove internal combustion engines from the market. That’s probably beyond the EPA’s power.
Will the shooter’s manifesto ever be released? Will last year’s SCOTUS leaker (very few possible culprits indeed!) ever be uncovered? Will the list of Epstein’s confederates in crime (or the massive amount of video evidence supposedly collected by the FBI) ever be published? Will any member of the Biden crime family ever be held to account? Perhaps in a future of porcine aviation this will come to pass.
The 2024 Chicago Riots will be entertaining.
Scott, with fewer Cops. And those that are there will not be the same kind of Cops of ’68.
to ask is to answer it,

There will still not be nearly enough electric power in 2032 or even 2042 to run a large fleet of EVs that must replace aging IC vehicles. Not to mention the infrastructure that must be severely bulked up and improved. Transmission lines, transformer stations, charging stations. What are the very large number of workers that live in apartment houses to do? Will employers be ok with the constant excuse, ” It took me over an hour to partially charge my car.”
Garrett Crawford, yes, it’s impractical to the point of insanity.
the point is to get rid of cars, the 15 minute city, the village from the prisoner is their goal
meanwhile north korea seems to have put a beed on hokkaido island in northern japan, with their missiles,
“Of course it wouldn’t work without the media’s cooperation…”
Possible epitaph for the destruction of the American system: “Of course it wouldn’t have worked without the media’s cooperation.”

Props for the Prisoner mention. Exactly.
“…the village from the prisoner is their goal”.
But not as nice.
Besides the matter of electric infrastructure, making entire vehicle fleets electric is a fantasy from the standpoint of the massive other resources needed and the environmentally ruinous mining associated.
From a writer for the Detroit News: https://www.indianagazette.com/opinion/nolan-finley-evs-may-be-green-but-are-they-sustainable/article_4e7ef8d5-e1c3-5a29-b61e-3833735fb1a3.html
Regarding evs, once again it is too soon for widespread evs. Better batteries are needed. And since oil, natural gas and (Oh the horror!) nuclear power plants are under attack, or, at the least disfavor what are going to do? I don’t see hydro dams being built. Evan Musk seems to have been multitasking with Tesla. Trying to develop a reliable vehicle so he could drive around on Mars and make some money along the way. But I’m a PROGRESSIVE! let’s get rid of those stupid, yucky, OLD (proven) power generation tech! I live in the CITY and I don’t even OWN A CAR.
Democrats want to party like it’s 1968.
I agree that the lack of electricity to charge batteries in EVs is a feature, not a bug. The goal seems to be to shut down the US economy. They ran a test in 2020.
}}} What could possibly go wrong?
Define “wrong”.
When your goal is to deprive people of the ability to drive and own cars… there’s not one damned thing “wrong” there…
}}} Perhaps in a future of porcine aviation this will come to pass.
So, you advocate investing in the production of large, steel-reinforced umbrellas, then? ‘Cause porcine aviation has definite secondary ramifications… 😛
And you don’t WANT to know what happens when THAT hits the fan… 😀
They’re going to shove this sh*t down our throats whether we like it or not.
Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night.
