U.S. Capitol Police Inspector General Michael Bolton told the Senate yesterday that out of the 104 recommendations he made to fix the gaping security flaws that allowed the Capitol insurrection to happen, only 30 have actually been implemented.

  • Only 61 out of the 200 new security enhancements the Capitol Police claimed to have carried out have been documented, the inspector general said.
  • Additionally, about 200 hundred officers have left the agency since the insurrection, according to Bolton.

Should the government really be involved in protecting the government?
Sounds like Marxist BLM Communism to me.

That’s too bad, as the kids might say.

On the same day as the Nashville statute’s demise, the Charlottesville City Council voted to allow the city’s infamous Robert E. Lee statue to be melted down by a Black history museum.

It’s actually iron-onic, get it?

Former President Donald Trump continues to say Gov. Ron DeSantis won’t run against him in 2024 and can’t beat him if he does, while reminding voters DeSantis wouldn’t be Governor without Trump’s endorsement.

During an interview with South Florida radio host Brian Mudd , Trump offered his latest in a series of statements essentially claiming he made the Governor and DeSantis knows better than to run against him in 2024.

I see Rep. Ms. Dick Tattoo has been busy doing her job of performative jackassery. But why isn’t Mr. Dick Tattoo in that family photo?

And who trimmed that ugly-ass tree?

On the House floor, moments before the vote, Meijer approached a member who appeared on the verge of a breakdown. He asked his new colleague if he was okay. The member responded that he was not; that no matter his belief in the legitimacy of the election, he could no longer vote to certify the results, because he feared for his family’s safety. “Remember, this wasn’t a hypothetical. You were casting that vote after seeing with your own two eyes what some of these people are capable of,” Meijer says. “If they’re willing to come after you inside the U.S. Capitol, what will they do when you’re at home with your kids?”

Morning reads that don’t make you feel all warm and fuzzy about the strength of our democracy. These are the stalwarts who are going to stand up to the new fascists in their midsts?

Seriously, if the representative truly feels this way, he needs to resign. The lack of a spine is not a good look.

Welp, Francis is visiting Greece at the moment (5 day tour) and did a walking tour of a migrant camp on the island of Lesbos yesterday. Not bad for an almost dead guy. The image of him in the link reminds me of Monty Python’s “Ministry of Silly Hats”.
