A handful of stories are lined up on my browser tabs—two dozen tops. They are links people have sent me or things I’ve tripped over that caught my internet eye (after I tripped over it). Most will end up getting closed, but a few cling bitterly to my browser, hoping for life on ‘Grok’s pages. Maybe not.
That’s not bad, by the way. Skip has hundreds of tabs on multiple browsers, which, as you’ve noticed, he’s had no time to tap. It’s been five months since he posted, and his family commitments continue to drag him away from blogging. He wants to, I promise, but we’ve managed ot keep the content coming, like this. A trio of stories I’m about to abandon that I’ve hodge-podge into one post for your aggregated enjoyment.
Commie Fails
Long before Mamdani made the dumb idea of “government-run grocery stores” a trending topic, it was an idea destined to fail that rose from other dumb democrat ideas. Bad policy made doing business in the city difficult but defunding the police and ignoring crime made it impossible. Democrats drove private business out of the places that needed it and their response was to suggest city run stores.
My first question was, “Will Chicago’s Proposed City-Owned Grocery Stores let Criminals Shop Lift? (Which is Why the Old Stores left)”. If you replaced the businesses that tried to run on thin margins with those that had no clue what that meant, would staling from the city grocery be allowed, or like poaching deer in the kings forest? Let’s ask Kansas City.
A city-run grocery store in Kansas City that was propped up by more than $18 million taxpayer dollars has closed.
Sun Fresh Market opened in 2018 in the city-owned Linwood Shopping Center. Part of a Community Improvement District, the shopping center received a multi-million-dollar renovation budget about a decade ago as part of the city’s sprawling revitalization efforts on the east side.
But after months of bare shelves, severe crime problems that Kansas City has spent additional money to curb, and what one reporter described as a “rancid odor” connected to improper drain maintenance, Sun Fresh has shut its doors.
No, you won’t do it better and yes, it will fail just like all leaps toward communism. And someone actually had the balls to say it was due to unforseen circumstances.
It amazes me how people who think they are so smart conitnue to be outsmarted by bloggers.
Warrior Nuns
You’ll recognize the name ‘Little Sisters of the Poor. They are Catholic nuns who care for elderly poor. They’ve been in court since Obama Care forced them to pay for contraception and abortion, and despite a rule issued in Trump 1.0, upheld by the US Supreme Court, the F-ing bastards wont leave the nuns alone.
In Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court in 2020 upheld a federal rule protecting the Little Sisters and other religious groups from the federal government’s contraceptive mandate. But Pennsylvania and New Jersey have continued to fight in court to strip the Little Sisters of that protection.
Today’s ruling keeps that effort alive, and the Little Sisters have vowed to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
If Alba Baptista is available, maybe she can teach NJ and PA a much needed lesson.
More Gerry Mander
We covered it, glossed over it might be a bterr description, but the laugh track emerging behind the Left’s faux outrage keep sgetting louder.
Common Cause, a government watchdog group historically opposed to partisan gerrymandering, announced Tuesday that it will not oppose blue states’ push for mid-cycle redistricting while criticizing Republican-led efforts in Texas.
In a Tuesday policy statement, Common Cause, which describes itself as a “nonpartisan, grassroots organization dedicated to upholding the core values of American democracy,” declined to condemn redistricting efforts in Democrat-run states like California. At the same time, the group accused President Trump and Republicans of “pursuing a calculated, asymmetric strategy” in Texas as part of a “broader march towards authoritarianism.”
Nonpartisan in the same way that Sandy Cortez is and equally full of sh!t as evidenced in the pull quote. Everything bad is good when we do it…for the democracy. Thankfully, that’s beginning to wear thin on incresing numbers of people who otherwise pay little or no attention.
Democracy is defending arsonists, drug lords, and child traffickers from outside the country waving Mexican flags. Wasting billions on failed Marxist experiments they can see will fail, and (of course) wasting tax dollars to take nuns to ccourt to force them to pay for insurance that covers abortions.
