I am glad to see Jeff Bezos is going all in on personal liberties. I am sure he is going to start attacking extra-judicial abuses of authority by the police and state surveillance and voter suppression and freedom of speech and the right to privacy.

I look forward to him Facebook and other big tech entities for abusing those rights. Should happen any day now.

Liberty to grab women by the pussy, and rape them?  Write me that editorial!  An opinion that maybe, just maybe, it's wrong to grab women by the pussy and rape them, and we should have and enforce laws against those things?  You're fired.

I can just hear all the Fox News crowd picturing black people and clapping not realizing that rural America is about to become a war zone. One thing is for sure. Pressure bursts pipes, and people in rural America will turn to what they always do when money is tight. It's about to be land of the zombies out there.

Can't speak for the superintendent of Alice public schools, but yeah, this has happened:

Quote

U.S. Rep. Gabe Vasquez, D-New Mexico, says he wants answers after his office received reports that U.S. Border Patrol agents boarded a bus of Las Cruces High School students and “harassed” them Friday, Feb. 21 when they were on their way to a swim meet in Albuquerque.

Vasquez’s office says they were told that students and coaches were aboard a charter bus on Friday when they were stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint.

 

Spoiler

“The situation escalated after agents questioned the driver, who was unable to respond in English. Rather than de-escalating, an agent proceeded to board the bus, ignored attempts by coaches to explain the situation, and demanded information from the students, leaving them rattled and shaken,” Vasquez’s office said.

“Harassing and frightening children does not make New Mexico safer,” Vasquez said in the news release. “No student should have to fear law enforcement while traveling to a school event.”

A Customs and Border Protection spokesman said the charter bus was unmarked without any school markings and that Border Patrol routinely inspects charter buses that go through checkpoints.

The CBP spokesperson said checkpoint inspections in the El Paso sector “play a vital role in maintaining the integrity of our nation’s borders.”

“They are instrumental in deterring illegal immigration and ensuring that those traveling away from the border comply with immigration laws. By conducting these inspections, Border Patrol agents help safeguard the security and well-being of communities throughout the United States,” the CBP spokesperson said.

According to CBP, Border Patrol agents from the Las Cruces station conducted “a routine immigration inspection” on Friday, Feb. 21 at a checkpoint on Interstate 25.

During the inspection, agents boarded an unmarked charter bus carrying personnel from the Las Cruces Independent School District, CBP said.

The bus had no school decals and as such was treated as a standard charter vehicle. The agents’ primary objective was to verify the legal status of the passengers, CBP said.

After completing the verification process, all individuals were confirmed to be legally present in the country and the agents left without incident, CBP said. 

Vasquez’s office, meanwhile, says reports of harassment by federal agents extend beyond this incident, Vasquez’s office said.

Vasquez’s office said that tribal members and U.S. citizens have “been targeted simply because they speak Spanish or their appearance.”

“Additionally, recent policy rollbacks have removed protections against enforcement actions in sensitive locations, including schools, churches, childcare centers, and hospitals — further jeopardizing public safety, particularly in our schools,” Vasquez’s office said.

Vasquez’s office said the congressman, who represents Southern New Mexico, is “demanding answers from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and calling for transparency regarding enforcement actions involving children, particularly on school buses and in other sensitive locations.”

“Incidents like this, along with reports of harassment of Tribal members and other American citizens simply because they speak Spanish or have brown skin, are unacceptable,” Vasquez said in the news release.

Las Cruces Public Schools said the district is “aware” of the incident and hopes “this was an isolated event, as all students, regardless of immigration status, are entitled to a free public education” per a 1982 U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Here is the full statement from LCPS:

“LCPS administration is aware of this incident that reportedly happened Friday morning. Our students were traveling to a state competition in a chartered bus that was not visibly marked as Las Cruces Public Schools. Our students and coaches complied with instructions from Border Patrol agents and were on their way shortly. 

“We hope this was an isolated event, as all students, regardless of immigration status, are entitled to a free public education according to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Plyler v Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982). The activity our students were attending is an extension of our educational program and were under the supervision of school district officials.”

Trump says he's going to sell 5 million of these and pay off the national debt using the $25 trillion that raises. How many millions of them are we selling at the $1M price?

80k since inception in 1990.  So, yeah, no.

And, as the program is currently operated, most of the payment goes to funding a business or governmental operation.  That's the whole point.  It's not revenue.

Understood, but they breathelessly greedy and as such, are forgetting the part where the poor whites still need some cookie.  Maybe just a  few crumb to survive.  They are just taking more and more.

I'm dead serious, 100%.  This is the end result of a campaign by hostile nation states to cripple the United States, including crippling it by sickening/killing outsized portions of the population.

Dead Americans is the goal of this campaign.  It is going according to plan -- actually, better than they ever imagined.

The thing is that the GOP and thus America has the soul of a car dealer. Rent-seeking, grasping, anti-competitive, dependent on stacked decks, and convinced that they were born on third because of their innate talent and competence. 
 

The car dealer is the American feudal lord or nobility.  The car dealer is given a territory which he possesses and which is inheritable, a larger lord may buy his right or marry into it but the peasantry can’t purchase an RMA.  The great houses only get bigger, the minor nobles only shrink, the bloodline only becomes more incestuous. It is inherently rent-seeking and is extractive, neither the manufacturer or client receives a benefit and the car dealer’s position is ultimately secured by the government. And yet the car dealer believes their little fiefdom and the rents they pay extract are the essence of the free market. 
 

Imagine an entire economy and government with the mentality of the grubbiest Hyundai dealer in a mid-major metropolitan area.  That’s what we have. 

How dare you sir, Scott Elder is a dealer by the people for the people. *   **

*He sells Mitsubishi; who buys those?

** He's a piece of shit that is known to visit various Lakeway watering holes whilst hammered with various womenz with gross bolt ons, purple teeth and mediocre boltons- so prolly post in DT

My neighborhood is lousy with Japanese mini trucks.  They can be had at well below golf cart prices, and are small enough to go anywhere a golf cart goes.

Last week, “The President’s Own” quietly canceled a concert program originally billed as the “Equity Arc Wind Symphony.” The performance was to be the culmination of a “multiday music intensive with musicians from ‘The President’s Own,’” and high school musician fellows selected through auditions organized by the Chicago-based Equity Arc, a nonprofit organization that provides “specialized mentoring support for young BIPOC musicians” and “helps institutions take meaningful steps toward equity and inclusion.”

(anecdotal) For our family, it's been very effective to get the annual shot. It's the secondary infections like pneumonia that are the real risk and as someone who has had that more than once, the prevention or resulting milder case of flu has been worth every penny. This anti-science death regime just doesn't give a damn until it's their own throat that's been strangled. Sickening.

Hey @Anastasis, again great job with the whole burn-it-all-down thing. 

The FDA adcom is redundant. How did they perform with the strain selection last year? You think maybe it could be reasonable to reassess their methodology and process? But be sure to @ me when it gets rescheduled. Maybe we could do something fun and see if the selection process this year has better or worse performance and outcomes than last year. 

Meanwhile, head of drug evaluation at FDA just went through the revolving door and named the new CMO for Pfizer. 

You certainly seem to have your eye on the ball.
