One of the side-effects of having literally all of the RAM is that you get kinda lazy about bookmarking tabs and then closing them.
And, yes, I pretty much remember what most of those tabs are. I can't remember my own name sometimes, but I know that Tony lives just to the right of the halfway point on the right monitor, between Uri Tuchman and Alex the French Guy Cooking.

Listen to the 4:10 minute mark as he talks about economic recovery and says "in which the People of America created and filled 19 million jobs".
You know what Obama would have said. "You didn't build that, We did".

That time you gave an entire highway to the mob, then lied about it.

Emails discovered in a recent public disclosure request filed by a Washington State attorney claim that Governor Jay Inslee ordered the closure of freeways so that protesters could demonstrate in mass gatherings. This was a violation of his own "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" orders.

...On the day of the protest, hundreds of demonstrators marched south from Esther Short Park in Vancouver onto the southbound side of the interstate by way of the Washington Street on-ramp. The crowd was accompanied by three civilian vehicles behind as a barricade. WSP and WSDOT closed the freeway with signage and patrol vehicles north of the location.
Following the mass gathering, Inslee froze his reopening plan due to an increase in confirmed cases of COVID 19 in the area. Yet the governor continued to claim that the protests were not increasing the spread of COVID 19. Clark County continues to suffer severe restrictions from Inslee's Lock Down Proclamations.
...
The suit claims that by facilitating the closure of the federal freeway, WSP facilitated a mass gathering in violation of Inslee's proclamation to prevent the spread of COVID-19. In the suit, Lee seeks a court injunction against WSP to prevent the agency from duplicating any similar action in the future.
Lee said in a release that "…it is abundantly clear that Governor Inslee believes that the First Amendment right to assemble only applies to protests he supports, and not prayer or religious worship. He is wrong legally, ethically, and morally. Governor Inslee has locked down Clark County, and many other counties, in phase 2 of Inslee's unconstitutional lockdown plan. He claims to be doing this because of the number of COVID infections in Clark County, but he is the one who closed the freeway and an interstate bridge to help make that massive gathering happen. He simply does not care about the impact his orders are having on local churches, small businesses, and families."

Today in Nice, France, a knife-wielding Muslim attacker shouting “Allahu Akbar” beheaded a woman and killed two other people in a French church.
As mentioned in a previous post by KG, France has had A LOT of issues with Muslim fanatics over the years. Protests, riots, and straight uo terrorist attacks have become somewhat of a norm in the country.
Nice's mayor, Christian Estrosi, has had enough.
“Enough is enough,” Estrosi said. “It’s time now for France to exonerate itself from the laws of peace in order to definitively wipe out Islamo-fascism from our territory.”
Is the west ready for this type of battle?
If you notice the headline, not a single mention of the fact that it was a Muslim perpetrator. Had this been a white supremacist, there is no doubt that the headline would have mentioned it.
As much as we may want to stop these Islamic terrorist attacks, we seem to fear calling it out for what it is.
I have no issues calling out Islamic, white supremacist, or any other type of attack. Our media outlets shouldn't have any issues, either.
