Joe, Sheila… and then there’s SanFran sans Nan
Been a good day for political stupid. In the first item, Mr. Gun Expert Joe Biden weighed in on police shootings, questioning why they don’t just shoot for the leg or some such.
“Instead of anybody coming at you and the first thing you do is shoot to kill, you shoot them in the leg,” Biden said.
Police have fatally shot 1,101 people in the last 12 months, according to a Washington Post database. Of cases in the database that include information on whether the person was armed, 83 percent of people who were fatally shot by police since 2015 were armed. Just 6 percent of cases were unarmed.
So Joe is advocating less than lethal force against folks armed with lethal weapons. Tell ya what. Joe: Let’s make a bet. You get a handgun, loaded (or not – you find out when you start to shoot) with some indeterminate number of rounds, not to exceed 10 since you think that is a magic number. Your 3 or 4 assailants get one gun, the rest knives. From 20 feet out, you try to deal with them ONLY with leg shots. Any other hits, or if you get shot/cut, you resign unconditionally. How strongly do you believe, Joe?
And then there’s Ms. Jackson-Lee. Houston’s mobile dumpster fire has introduced a bill (illegal on its face, unconstitutional to its core) criminalizing “hate speech”. It’s a good one, too – almost anything someone can claim is “hate speech” is punishable, and even private communication can be penalized. Oh, and it’s aimed at “white supremacy” because there are no other forms of hate speech.
Jackson Lee introduced the Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023 to assign criminal punishment for certain forms of hate speech.
…anyone who “published material advancing white supremacy, white supremacist ideology, antagonism based on ‘replacement theory,’ or hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-White person or group, and such published material,” if it was “read, heard, or viewed by a person who engaged in the planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of a white supremacy inspired hate crime.”Fox News
Think of it. They say George (just picking a name) wrote something they call “hate speech”. Fred happens to read it in a private e-mail written to him by George. This e-mail crops up in Fred’s emails when Fred says he doesn’t like a particular ethnic group…and George gets charged. Maybe even sent to the gulag. Has this twunt never heard of, say, the Bill of Rights?
Thank God in a Republican-dominated House this abortion will never get out of committee. But it is scary that any Congressperson would even propose such a bill. Would be nice if someone would propose impeachment due to her breaking her pledge to uphold the Constitution? (I can hear it now: “Uphold” Thought you said hold up! I was packin’ a piece!”)

And last but not least, The San Francisco Reparations Committee is proposing paying each long time black resident more than $5,000,000 because, they’re black. “Systemic racism” and all that. Oh, and pay off all their existing debt.
San Francisco’s reparations committee has proposed paying each Black longtime resident $5 million and granting total debt forgiveness due to the decades of “systematic repression” faced by the local Black community.
…to address reparations – not for slavery, since California was not technically a slave state, but “to address the public policies explicitly created to subjugate Black people in San Francisco by upholding and expanding the intent and legacy of chattel slavery.”
To be eligible for the program, the applicant must be 18 years old and have identified as Black or African American on public documents for at least 10 years. They must also prove at least two of eight additional criteria, choosing from a list that includes, “Born in San Francisco between 1940 and 1996 and has proof of residency in San Francisco for at least 13 years,” and/or, “Personally, or the direct descendant of someone, incarcerated by the failed War on Drugs.”
The plan also calls on the city to supplement lower-income recipients’ income to reflect the Area Median Income (AMI), about $97,000, annually for at least 250 years. Fox News
Don’t suppose anyone has asked where all that money will come from?

That’s a pretty solid plan for San Fran. My math say $21B to start vs a budget of $14B plus an extra $4B a year for the next 250 years. As an outsider looking in I am 100% in favor. Let the chips fall where they may.
Will that payout over the next 250 years be adjusted for inflation? What if there is a floating crap game tonight, and you need some seed money to get in? Can you go to J.D. Wentworth and get cash for your future payments? What if you are not planning on having children, do you get the money that your offspring would be allotted? So many questions….
877 Cash Now!
Free Sh*t, act now– Democrat politicians are standing by!
Hack Stone noticed the guy wearing the horned helmet. They must be on their way to the Capitol.
JD Wentworth…it’s MY money and I want it NOW!🤣
You’re in fine form this morning, Your Hackness!
In the wentworth commercial, the passengers are lip singing the song and nor real opera singers
Next thing you know, you’ll be saying that Iron Eyes Cody wasn’t a real Native American.
And that tear wasn’t a real tear…..
It was real. After the interest rates were calculated.
Damn you jeff LPH 3 63-66!! 😫
Everyone take note. Biden will direct the Secret Service to shoot at legs first and not to kill anyone trying to do him harm. Sure, you can die anyway from a leg shot, but likely not real fast.
It depends, if one’s Femoral Artery gets severed they’ll bleed out in about 30 seconds.
Shooting perps in the legs and gun hand really works. I watched Hoppolong Cassidy, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Tim Holt, Hoot Gibson, Bob Steel, John Wayne, Ray Corrigan, Dick Foran,,, and Lash Larue can take a gun from ones hand using his bull whip. A Lot more out there whom I can’t remember.
The Border Patrol Agents down in Texas tried to use their bull whips, but Joe Biden vowed to hold them accountable. (Insert eye roll here)
Harrison Ford did it with his whip in Raiders of the Lost Ark once– probably ’cause Lash Larue.
Although I am partial to this one:
You know that there was supposed to be an elaborate sword fight and Harrison was hungover so he ad-libbed the shooting the guy part, right?
Other story going around was that it was a nasty stomach bug, but still.
I can see why Dems want to put in anti-1A censorship laws. They lost their favorite twitter mouthpiece doing it for them and the others are all starting to come unraveled as well. No one listens to the left wing media except leftists. They are just going to do what they have been doing all along, just openly.
To ensure America dies.
If you can’t beat criticism, ban it! Is Leftist way, comrade!
Of course, firebombing anti-abortion groups (or anyone else Leftists don’t like) will still be “political speech” proggie Dem authorities are reluctant to investigate under Sheila’s bill…
Orwell was right, but he was originally one of them.
While much of what is happening is right out of ‘1984’, the “it’s okay when we do it” is straight out of ‘Animal Farm’.
Aparently, Ms Jackson doesn’t read/watch the news and is oblivious to crime statistics.Eff her.
No, she is simply irrational and stupid.
5 million? That is insulting. If they don’t give every black resident at least $5 trillion and $5 trillion a year in salary then racism will never end.
You beat me to this comment nearly word for word.
RINOs will get it to POTUS’ desk, don’t worry! It’s all “who you know,” comrade!
Does calling for the destruction off Israel on Twitter qualify as hate speech? Asking for a Congresswoman.
No, it doesn’t; under her proposed legislation it’s only a crime if the speech is against non-white people. You can say anything you want regarding Caucasian folks, including Mediterranean Jews and Christians (but not “Palestinian” or Arab Muslims).
But they want the non-white Jews to die too….
Always okay when Leftists do it, comrade!
California. Big surprise.
Shithole state run by complete idiots.
No one is ever complete.
There’s always room for improvement.
Yet another reporter (and editor) that failed basic arithmetic;
“83 percent of people who were fatally shot by police since 2015 were armed. Just 6 percent of cases were unarmed.”
11% were undetermined. They may have dropped or thrown away the weapon during the event.
Kind of hard to fire a weapon with no arms. Did they use their tongues?
Kinky….
Jackson-Lee? Them’s Confederate names. Get the Chief Joints of Staff on that right away!
Let’s go over this one at a time:
Again, Joe claims to be an expert on something he knows nothing about. I bet his SS protective force, laughs themselves to tears over his foolishness. One of them should have Joe start running, and try to shoot him in the leg for a demonstration.
And now to Mrs. Andrew-Robert. A Jamaican who ends up with two southern names. Quite the feat. Been in Congress for 27+ years and her best accomplishment is this:
“In 2003, Jackson Lee complained that storm names were too white. “All racial groups should be represented”, she said, and asked officials to “try to be inclusive of African-American names.”[
Followed in the footsteps of Alcee Hastings. The best news here is she is 73 years old and hopefully will retire soon.
She ain’t gonna retire. She’s gonna ride that horse until the bitter end like that cocksucker Conyers.
Or that bitch-ass Malig-Nancy Pelosi, the only way she’ll ever leave Office is feet first.
As Dave Chapelle points out, ““[I] don’t get mad at ’em, don’t hate on ’em,” Chappelle said. “Man, it’s not that serious. The First Amendment is first for a reason. Second Amendment is just in case the first one doesn’t work out.”
Wise man. Kind of like Frederick Douglass. We’re getting close to needing the third of his “boxes.”
Third box? The ballot box? That hasn’t been working out so well.
I presume you meant the “fourth box”, the cartridge box.
Or maybe we’re on different counting systems.
3 boxes:
Ballot box
Jury box
Cartridge box
What’s the fourth box? The crayon box? Fucking Marines…🤣
Hey! Only us squids can say that, doggy.
Woof!
That’s my OTHER dog.
The Fartbox.
😯. I got nothin,
Snatchbox.
Quiet, you!
Here is Mr. Douglass’s quote:
A good Republican man…
Ah Hell, also give them all doctorate degrees without going to college, give them work credit showing they’ve been working long enough to be retired and collecting Social Security, IRAs, 401s etc.
Sad that regardless of whether their ancestors were or were not slaves, they are slated to get a free pass. So they’ll be treated better than some former or retired military member.
My dad’s side of the family (Germans) came to the US in the 1700s due to religious persecution. Where’s their reparations? My mom’s side of the family are Dutch and survived in a war torn and post war Dutch economy. Where’s their reparations? My wife’s great grandmother was full blooded Cherokee. Where’s their reparations?
I mean come on where do you draw the damn line at? The past is the past, we can’t live in the past and keep feeding the social injustices of the period just to fuel a perceived hatred today.
True. My mom’s side of the family owned a shitload of land (ie most of it) on BOTH sides of the Rio Grande running from Laredo to the Gulf. Obviously lost the land on the north bank after Crockett and Travis’s insurrection. Can I file a claim for the Rio Grande Valley?🤣💵
ALL rounds are on me if it goes through!
I have Polish and German Ancestors who farmed during the Civil War and got sacked by both sides down in Southeast Kansas. If it wasn’t the pro-South Bushwhackers from out of MO it was the Jayhawkers who would forage off of them going off to return a favor to the Bushwhackers and none of us spout sob stories or ask for something off of someone else that we didn’t work for!
My mom’s side of our family came here from Germany in the 1890’s. My dad’s side came here from Wales in the 1890’s also. Do I get reparations? My uncle on my dad’s side fought in WWI, a great uncle, or maybe a great, great uncle fought in the Civil War with the Michigan 7th Cav. He lost most of his left arm, and died way too young. Same question.
Ooops, my dad’s family emigrated in 1809
I’m going to make sure all of you victims get taken care of. My plan is to issue bonds to the US Treasury for 500 nonillion Dollars. We will then give everyone a trillion dollars. There should be plenty left over for everyone. In other news, the price of eggs has risen to $1 Billion dollars a dozen.
I have a story about a black Air Force officer in the 70s that would floor most people.
Okinawa 77-80, my annual dental check up. I’m told the dentist has the same last name as me. Cool must be related, they airman at the desk say I don’t think so.
Well we meet and he’s black, my dad is curious and talks with him, and he’s from the county over from my dad in North Carolina. My dad talks to his dad, and low and behold there was a distant relative that owned slaves. Next appointment my dad apologies to the doc.
His reply…..That is neither us or then. Besides, because of something bad that happened before we were born, I was afforded an opportunity to go to college, get a degree, join the AF as an officer. Do you think I would have had the same opportunity if my ancestor hadn’t been enslaved. You have nothing to apologize for, and I have nothing to be mad about. I have an awesome life.
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade…..!
Only goes to show that it’s a small world. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, which is why it’s called the “Present”.
There was a TV show some years back, “Person of Interest”. It was pretty good when it first started then got weird. Anyway, the guy who did all the fighting and shooting would be always be attacked by several guys and he’d always shoot them in the knee, often without even looking.
It was fun to think what would have happened to him in real life – in which he would have been pounded to a pulp while looking at the holes his bullets made in the floor and walls.
Our prez obviously watches too much of the telee-o-vizzion.
David, if ol” Poe may make a suggestion: When you run a story on a publicity-seeking, dumbass dirt-bag like Sheila Jackson-Lee, don’t do her the hoped-for favor of running her years-old formal, professional portrait that shows her in her best light.
Take just a few more minutes and find one that shows her for the no-class skag she is.
Just sayin… 😉
Bro, I’m gonna take this pitch because I don’t want a time out.
Seriously, right over the plate with a perfect arc and I’m not gonna go out like that.
Unless you want to google (twitter.com/PregnancyTips/status/335198629499379713)
Now that’s more like what Poe had in mind… 😜
I wonder if she gets paid as well.
Welp, seems like the Stupid Idea of The Week (Day?) Thread Category is taking hold. Prolly be easier to find articles on these subjects than it is getting to find FGS. What we used to refer to as “a target rich environment”.
Joe daily proves he is a blathering idiot, All Hat and no cattle needs to change her name, and Commiefornoia is a lost cause.
I remember when Ali came back from the Rumble in the Jungle with Frazier (Zaire) and said he was sure glad his grandaddy got on that boat. BTW, my Great Great grandaddy lost a leg fighting for the Union- do I get compensated?
There’s stupid, and then there’s liberal stupid.
That be some weapons-grade shit.
Wait a damn minute; if a 9mm will blow a lung out of your body, won’t it also blow the femur out of the leg, and take the femoral artery with it?
Come on, man!
Corn Pop says no, it just be a little wounding, dude won’t be able to run for years.
