Well said. I do disagree with the "white" part of your criticism; I think it's more the Leftie part that's not self-aware. It's why I hate Bernie. Anyone who honeymooned in the Soviet Union AFTER Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago was published is unfit for office. Communism was and is a charnel house.
The reason I ofttimes wax humorous is because it's a defense against the rage that can creep up on me when I am confronted by the disingenuous "arguments" offered by the left supporting their sanctimony as caring people. (As opposed to the cavemen that believe in Natural Law and inherent rights.)
This comes to a frothing head over the gun issue. Wow. I can't even make a snide crack about this whole thing. Standing on the still-bleeding bodies of 19 children to make political hay. Ugh. Time for my blood-pressure medicine.
Julia Ioffe: Evidently a reporter for The Atlantic, who also wrote for the WaPo. Typical. Another example of why you should check on "reporting" nowadays.
No, Biden might not praise the BP agent who killed the murderer; then again, it may be the other cops all stood outside for 40 MINUTES while children were murdered, so I'd hold back on the praise. From the WSJ:
"Ms. Gomez, a farm supervisor, said that she was one of numerous parents waiting outside the school who began encouraging—first politely, and then with more urgency—police and other law enforcement to enter the school sooner. After a few minutes, she said, U.S. Marshals put her in handcuffs, telling her she was being arrested for actively intervening in an active investigation.
Ms. Gomez convinced local Uvalde police officers whom she knew to persuade the marshals to set her free. Around her, the scene was frantic. She said she saw a father tackled and thrown to the ground by police and a third pepper-sprayed. Once freed from her cuffs, Ms. Gomez made her distance from the crowd, jumped the school fence, and ran inside to grab her two children. She sprinted out of the school with them."
So the cops allegedly didn't go in for the killer, but cuffed and pepper-sprayed parents. You'd think they were at a school board meeting or something.
I'm not going to talk about guns either way; the children haven't been buried yet; I despise Biden for politicizing even this tragedy.
This gets on my nerves. Just as "Die Hard" is not a Christmas movie, "My Favorite Things" is NOT a Christmas song! The lyrics list 15 favorite things, of which one -- sleighbells, mentioned only in passing -- has some connection to Christmas. "Mittens" has a general connection to winter. And that's it! Several of the items are specifically non-Christmas: raindrops on roses would be a summer thing, geese fly in spring and fall, winters melt into spring in March, etc. "Brown paper packages" are most definitely not Christmas presents.
"Die Hard" is at least *set* at Christmas; in the movie, "My Favorite Things" is sung during a thunderstorm, which would put it in summer, maybe spring.
At least Liotta didn't cite "Wonderful Christmastime." Ugh.
That this jackass, POS shooter had basically free run of the place for nearly an hour, while the police sat outside because they didn't want to get shot? Shameful
Note to the sheriff who said he didn't want his deputies to get shot: That is, and I can not possibly say this in a nicer way, YOUR JOB. I would much rather a policeman be shot at than children. Children needed to smear blood on their faces and fake their death... for an hour. Your job, as a cop who is trained in the matter, is to stand in front of the innocent and take the bullet if that is what it means. You have a vest, you have a gun, you can return fire and save a life. IF you waited outside, fearful of taking a shot, you are a coward and are not worthy of your badge. Resign.
I was talking to some of my friends who are law enforcement. Doctrine now is to in even if there’s only one of you, and get to the shooter and take them out. Establishing a perimeter is the very worst thing you. Speed is essential to save lives

You're too old to be making light of uneventful bowel movements. Just sayin' ....

Agree. Alex I’ll let you know the body count here I’m the Bluff. Holiday weekends usually are fairly bloody sigh
Bee Movie was one of the most underrated performances by Liotta.

Preach, brother! I've been arguing this for *years*...!

I wonder if the anti-capitalist shop has a tote bag for sale that states “Private Property Is Theft?”
