Smell-it's Going To Pay

Not only has he lost his TV series gig, he'll be responsible for picking up the costs associated with the Chicago Police Department's investigation into his fraud.

CHICAGO --

"Empire" actor Jussie Smollett has been charged with one count of felony disorderly conduct for filing a false police report, the Cook County State's Attorney's Office said Wednesday evening.

He's looking at three years in prison if found guilty.

And he'll need to pay CPD for expenses incurred during the course of their investigation.

There's a form for that.

Get Real

On Monday a far-left Oregon legislator introduced a bill that would lower the state’s voting age from 18 to 16, thus allowing hormonal, pimple-faced teens to determine the outcome of elections.

What we should be doing is raising the minimum age to 21 or higher. For the most part, these children are still living off Mommy and sometimes Daddy, and they've never held a job. They've never filled out a tax return.

According to the bill’s sponsor, state Sen. Shemia Fagan, children worried about what to wear at the prom or what to do about that big pimple deserve “a chance to participate in the ballot about decisions that affect their homes, their clean air, their future, their schools and, as we’ve seen, their very lives.”

Nope, sorry, Fagan. Actually, not sorry. She's a whack-job. Our country's founders were smart guys - they didn't allow women and children to vote.

Since then, it's been "whittle away, whittle away" - and this is what you get: idiocy.

 

Minnesota Democrat Logic

PORTLAND — Gov. Kate Brown is reportedly considering selling the state’s workers compensation insurance corporation or tapping its substantial capital surplus to hold down future pension costs for school districts around the state.

The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that according to documents it obtained via a public records request the idea is still tentative, and it’s not clear it would raise enough money to accomplish the goal on its own.

The proposal to tap SAIF, the state’s 100-year-old employer-funded workers compensation agency, was initially floated in 2017 by a task force Brown set up to look for ways to reduce PERS’ huge unfunded liability. That liability now stands at about $26.6 billion.

Typical - let's take something that's profitable and dump that money into the craphole we haven't funded. More light rail, too! I'd love to be able to deport Kate back to her home state of Minnesota.

 

ISIS Brides

Suddenly, one wants to return to the U.K., while another wants to return to the USA. How interesting.

"ISIS bride" Hoda Muthana, who has been asking to return to the United States, is not an American citizen, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement on Wednesday, contrary to her family lawyer's assertion.

Sorry, they can go BOOM someplace else.

 

When You've Lost Your Dad...

Professor Donald Harris, Kamala Harris’ Jamaican father, has vigorously dissociated himself from statements made on the New York Breakfast Club radio show earlier this week attributing her support for smoking marijuana to her Jamaican heritage.

Ironically, she built her career in California on - prosecuting and jailing people for marijuana offenses. What a two-faced witch! No wonder she's now a politician.

Her own father has accused her of playing identity politics.

 

Liar

As it turns out, it appears that this thing paid his two buddies $3500 to stage his so-called attack; after the ruse was carried out, the buddies immediately left for Nigeria while the idiot pictured here tried to play the victim card, the homo card, and the race card. These were naturally and immediately accepted by MSM, and promulgated by them for several weeks. It now emerges that the thing paid his buddies and even rehearsed the hoax "hate crime" with them. Presumably, that was necessary because the thing was being written out of the television series that it had a role in. In other words, it was fired, and therefore needed to gin up some publicity. What better way than to fake a "hate crime" and pin it on Trump and his hateful supporters?

The states may be united (for now), but the idiots have splintered off and are working hard to undermine the rest of us.

 

Amusing, Were It Not So accurate

Oddly Enough

Americans are continuing to vote with their feet; fleeing states like New York and California to those with lower taxes and lower cost-of-living expenses (but I repeat myself). The governor of New York accuses Florida of stealing New York's population:

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – This week the Governor of New York blamed budget shortfalls on the state of Florida. He said New Yorkers are fleeing to the sunshine state to save big time on taxes.

The results of Democrat policies are never the fault of Democrat policies - they always blame someone else when the results are negative. In typical Democrat fashion, Cuomo blames Trump and Florida for the continuing exodus from New York.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo deflected criticism from his state’s massive budget deficit this week; bizarrely blaming the Trump administration for the region’s ballooning taxes and accusing Florida of stealing wealthy residents.

Amazon had plans to build a second headquarters in New York City, but they've bunched that due to the unfriendly business climate there. Doubtless, Cuomo will find somebody to blame for that loss as well.

California's seeing a similar exodus:

A report from California's Legislative Analyst's Office last year indicated Texas, Arizona, Oregon and Nevada are popular destinations for relocating Californians. "California is a great, great place if you're young and ambitious and daddy's paying the rent," said Joel Kotkin, a presidential fellow in Urban Futures at Chapman University in Orange, California. "It's similar to New York with the same dynamic, and maybe more of it."

But we don't particularly want them; as noted previously here, having fouled their own nests, they now want to leave and foul other places, bringing with them the same philosophies and voting patterns that have ruined their home states. They've made their beds; let them sleep there.

Don't Californiacate Oregon!

 

 

Oregon Democratics: Going After The Little Guy, As Usual

The carbon tax bill, HB 2020, also known as Carbon Cap-and-Trade would have a big price tag for Oregon small businesses and their customers.

Residential customers in Oregon who use natural gas are likely to see their rates increase by 11 percent—or $74—in 2021, the first year Oregon’s new climate policy and cap and spend bill takes effect, and by 53 percent, or $567, in 2040.

At least I've got a good supply of firewood....

 

 

Occasional-Cortex Holds Forth On Cow Farts

Oh, but then Bug-Eyes had her staff remove that part.

Somebody apparently bought a clue and discovered that cows don't fart climate-destroying methane.

If we all contribute just pennies a day, we might be able to buy her a ticket back to her native country. Or barring that, fill her pockets with pennies and drop her into the Hudson River.

I'd be fine with either.

The Green New Deal’s FAQ also explained how the resolution used the term “net-zero emissions, rather than zero emissions” was because “we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.”

She redefines the term, "brain-dead".

So it seems that she was born to be a Congresswoman.

Can't wait for the train to the U.K.
