Fun to Listen to That Sleazeball Alex Jones

The guy tells lies so often people just have the hardest time keeping up. Particularly the second half of this video is interesting.

 

BTW, There May Be a Serial Killer at Work in Albuquerque

Beware!:
“Our homicide detectives and our investigators currently believe there’s a strong possibility that the same individual has committed all three of these crimes,” APD Deputy Cmdr. Kyle Hartsock said. 
APD officials said they have no suspect information, and would not go into specifics of why they believe one person may have committed all three shootings, but they did point to something the victims had in common – their race and religion. Police say it is possible the men were targeted for being members of the Muslim community.

The Purple Corpses at Girls Rock Sacramento - 07/30/22

Girls Rock Sacramento had their summer camp performance at Swabbies on the River Restaurant and Bar, northwest of Sacramento, on Saturday, July 30, 2022. My mission was to take a few photos of the various bands, plus video the Purple Corpses (Ia was serving as drummer for the band).
 

Lyrics of "Ryan Gosling" 

Chorus 

I'm stuck in traffic with nothing in my head 
I've got no motivation to get out of bed 
I hate my shoes 
I feel like such a 

I've got dishes in the sink 
And sandals out my door 
Laundry waiting to be done 
Maybe I could find something more but I'm 

Chorus 

I annoy all my friends 
My hairs got split ends 
Cups piling up by my bed 
Still haven't finished my extra credit

Let's Join Together and Save OAN!


Wow! I just can't find a violin small enough. Includes a call for unity. Dictators often seem to be the ones calling for unity. Still, maybe it's a way for liberals to pick up a cable channel, cheap.

Killing Music Festivals For Open Carry

The bastards in Georgia:
While the 2019 ruling by the Georgia Supreme Court made it more difficult for private companies to deny licensed and armed citizens access to events on publicly owned land, it did not give the city of Atlanta the authority to enforce this decision or force the festival to allow guns into the event. Instead the law created a pathway for gun carrying individuals, who had also purchased tickets to the festival, to successfully sue event organizers if they were denied entry to an event taking place on public property. 
Additionally local authorities are typically involved in security for large scale events and likely would not have been able to enforce an illegal gun ban, so the festival would have had little to no backup to keep firearms out.

There's Big Money in This Business of Running Ghost Candidates

Beginning to get some answers:
MIAMI — Prosecutors have subpoenaed records related to a $600,000 money transfer between dark money organizations tied to an ongoing Miami-Dade criminal case surrounding “ghost candidates” in the 2020 election, according to court records unveiled Friday. 
The transfer is adding a new layer of intrigue to a years-long question into who paid for thousands of political mail advertisements to promote sham no-party candidates in three contested Florida races that were key to helping solidify the Republican majority in the state Senate.

The Gun Industry Wants To Create Child Soldiers in the U.S.

There has been a radical change over the last decade regarding how guns are marketed in the U.S. No more odes to hunters. Instead, the big growth market is children. The inescapable conclusion of their marketing:
Americans are rightly anguished by gun violence and the question of what’s motivating the young men who have committed a succession of horrific mass murders. We seem to be fumbling around for answers: Is it racism and radicalization, or untreated mental illness, or toxic video games, or too-easy access to guns? All of these may be parts of the problem, but equally none of them makes complete sense outside of the larger context: The gun industry’s modern marketing effort did not just arm these shooters; in a very real sense, it created them. 
This is something I know a bit about, as someone who spent a quarter century in the business. Over my years as a rising executive with a successful gun manufacturer, I became more and more disturbed by the sort of firearms the industry was selling, how it was selling them, and to whom. Next week, I am testifying before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform at a hearing that, in the words of its chair, Representative Carolyn B. Maloney, “will examine the role of gun manufacturers in flooding our communities with weapons of war and fueling America’s gun violence crisis.”
