Damn Yankees

NY and others block travel from VA

There’s a reason I was 14 before I knew Damn and Yankees were separate words.

If you remember when COVID was surging in New York and Florida’s governor suggested quarantining those coming to FL from NY, and Coumo had a fit. Now if you go to NY, CT or NJ you will be questioned and quarantined. So, it was OK, and hateful of us if we objected to New Yorkers fled to the heartland, carrying the plague with them, but now they want to pull up the drawbridge.

Not that I would go to NY any more than I would go to the sewer, but the nerve!

I wonder if any of them called Cheney what Yoho called AOC

A little disagreement is good for the soul, I suppose. But I do wonder if any of the Representatives have enough balls to call Liz Cheney what Ted Yoho called AOC.

If you don’t feel like reading it, here is the key quote. “The two then parted ways. Ocasio-Cortez headed into the building, while Yoho, joined by Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas), began descending toward the House office buildings. A few steps down, Yoho offered a parting thought to no one in particular.

“Fucking bitch,” he said.”

Government overreach has officially gotten out of hand

I beleive the move is unconsitutional, unless the local authorities request the assistance.

The stories out of Portland, OR were disturbing enough: Unmarked vehicles, unidentified law enforcement agents (meaning WHICH agency, not the individual’s name), apparently clandestine operations against American citizens (potentially only) exercising thier First Amendment rights.

Even Rand Paul takes issue with it: https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/508158-rand-paul-no-place-for-feds-rounding-people-up-at-will-in-portland

And Trump supporters will, once again, let us listen to the crickets when questioned about it.
