Of course, the only people that I’ve seen spouting the “Your body, My Choice” nonsense are the women shrieking it’s going to happen to them, and a poster (Nick Fuentes) on X who was gloating about how Harris was going to win right up to the election… and now posts as if he was always a Trump supporter.
The people that want to take your guns not only invaded a home to confiscate and kill a squirrel and a raccoon, they sent a dozen heavily armed stormtroopers to do it. If the government wants to ban guns, they can start with their own.
That list of government agencies to eliminate is missing the most important entry:
OBLITERATE THE IRS!!
It’s not just the swing states; Kalifornia has only counted 63% of the votes after 4 days. They must be still printing ballots. Arizona is at 83%, Oregon is 84%, Maryland is 85% and Washington is 89%. Nevada has been ‘called’ for Trump with 95.6% of the votes counted, but has not been added to his electoral total which should now be 301. Unless the Democrats pull off a massive post-election fraud in Arizona, Trump will wind up with 312 electoral votes.
It’s been close to a century since we tarred and feathered bad faith government agents. And clearly we need to rectify that, or else start decorating lamp posts as a warning to the next ten generations.
In this case, the more one looks at the actual evidence– which is mostly interviews with the guy who had the squirrel and racoon– the more it looks like any bad faith was on his part. Not the agents.
Definitely not the stuff claimed by third parties that can’t tell the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation from “a federal SWAT team,” or various other claims.
Finally got the actual warrant, I’ll upload the pictures because I’m not linking a literal pr0n X on this blog, the handle is inked_dani for folks curious, been looking for the actual warrant since the guy who wants to sue has been holding it back and the stories keep getting taller, but when I went to see if he’d posted the warrant yet (since that SHOULD be a slam dunk way to get support, if it’s half of what Longo has been claiming) the news that the claim he was working on getting P’nut registered as an education animal was a lie.
Don’t have time to rewrite that. Here’s the updated news story. He’d told the DEC that P’nut had been released back into the wild, and the folks who’d made complaints pointed out he was still uploading new videos, now with a baby raccoon that was allowed outside when there is a rabies issue for raccoons in NYS.
And the complaints were from other, licensed, in-state, wildlife rehabilitation sanctuaries. Not the poor crazy in a completely different region that the lynch mobs started screaming for blood from. Haven’t checked if the judge that they were calling to destroy was even involved or not.
Folks who are in New York tell me that this might actually get some decent reform. I’m just glad there hasn’t yet been anyone killed.
The two sides tell two stories that disagree about which arm of which government TLA sent how many agents to respond to complaints by exactly which Karen, regarding some dude’s Unauthorized Squirrel.
No, random asses on the internet, who appear to be attempting to whip up actual violence against targets of their choosing, tell stories which are radically at odds with THE GUY WHO WAS ACTUALLY RAIDED.
His version as reported in the New York Post interviews is far closer to what the agency involved has issued statements saying happened.
The evolving and ever wilder versions on the internet, on the other hand, can’t even figure out how warrants work.
Want to guess where I learned to actually look at something besides gossip about headlines about interviews from the guy saying he’s been wronged? I’ll give you a hint, it’s why so many of the hair on fire folks already are upset with me, especially when they do stuff like scream about DOE SWAT teams.
As it happens, the exact same kind of nonsense happens WHEN they get everything lined up so they can do a good, solid arrest on the slavers.
Which they have to manage, because you’re not allowed to arrest the hookers. Not even the enforcement level hookers. So much more empowering for teenagers to be kept out hooking rather than arrested for it, that’s not nice.
So you enforce what laws you can, and build up cases. And listen to people scream about how you need to stop enforcing the stupid little laws and go get the Bad Guy. On the strength of Everyone Knows he’s a Bad Guy, apparently.
The same foaming at the mouth mobs who don’t like this don’t change their MO at all.
That’s before the issue of things like money laundering comes in. In one of the interviews, the guy claimed that the money from the squirrel was nothing to do with buying the animal rehabilitation facility, he and his wife/girlfriend/bothareused got 300K in one month from only fans and bought it outright, the people who filed the complaints are just jealous.
Since he’s also claimed that the videos are a major source of funding for the animal sanctuary, this suggests both Something Funky and a strong probability of another lie.
And, all of that completely ignores that there have likely been several slavers put way this week. AND YOU DID NOT CARE.
Unless you were vaguely upset about it, because somebody at some point had said that they were being harassed for Badthink reasons, and that the police should go focus on someone who is really bad.
Oh, the DEA SWAT team story I mentioned, where we were told it was about his ex-wife’s student loans?
Was a student loan fraud ring. He and she were part of the group doing massive identity theft and fraud. That just isn’t what the screamers said.
That was a “dozens of armed FEDS beat down the door with machine guns” story, too… until it turned out it was a standard warrant with perfectly normal service considerations. And that there was information to be found if you went and looked, from the start, though nothing like the whole story. Biggest red flag is always that the only source of information is the person who says they’re wronged.

From the CA Secretary of State election 2024 page:
“Election results are updated as often as new data is received from county election offices after the polls close at 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Ballots continue to be counted after Election Day during the canvass period; county elections officials must report final official results for presidential electors to the Secretary of State by December 3, 2024, and all other state contests by December 6, 2024. The Secretary of State will certify the results on December 13, 2024.”
Nevada has been ‘called’ for Trump with 95.6% of the votes counted, but has not been added to his electoral total which should now be 301.
Speaking of Nevada, their Senate race challenger, Sam Brown, led by about 1,000 votes on Wednesday morning, but, days and days later, MiniTru has called it for incumbent Jackie Rosen, claiming she’s about 14K ahead.
It smells. Like the meme says, Florida has 20-ish million people and was counted and called that same night. Nevada has around 3 million and they haven’t finished yet. Nevada was where Cari-Ann Burgess, acting registrar of voters in (notoriously sketchy) Washoe County, “was forced,” against her will, to take medical leave, according to a passive-voice-heavy newspaper article a couple of weeks ago.
The light trained on Trump scattered the roaches, but they’re still befouling what they can.
Nowhere near “over” yet. Long term fight. But the good guys recently put more points on the board and wrecked much of the opposition game plan and their confidence.
Clearly, we must return America to a nation where squirrels and raccoons die by suicide with motorist assistance, rather than at the hands of government agents.
In the middle 80s there was a TV commercial–though unforgettable, I have no memory at all of what it advertized–in which a squirrel lurks by a winding mountain road as the sound of a car’s engine swells in the soundtrack. The squirrel waits until the exactly right second, then darts across the road.
You heard the panic brake-stomp, the long, screeching skid, and the stomach-turning sound of an unsurvivable high-speed crash. (After a few showings, they re-looped a “funny crash” sound instead, with a wubba-wubba-wubba spinning-hubcap noise.)
The squirrel gets to the other side of the road and shares a double-high-five with his buddy.
“Suicide” my butt, those murderous little furballs want to kill!
Our local squirrels aren’t too good at it. I’ve taken out several myself. Today, driving about 12 miles to my parent’s old place we saw at least two flattened in the middle of the road.
Also: I know this for a fact because I was there. The reason the Left pushed abortion so hard in the beginning was to allow leftist <s>men</s>boys access to ready, guilt-free sex with leftist girls. Yes, girls. If she got pregnant, there was always abortion. Then the problem came to be getting around age limits and figuring out how to pay for it.
On the issue of election night, somewhere I have a video from 2016 of the Trump wins coming in and the media panicking. Set to the music of “hall of the mountain king” I need a new one for 2024.
The leaf attire is apparently a comment on the fact that the issue lowest bidder utility uniforms were of such quality in materials and workmanship that, when exposed to South Pacific island jungle conditions, they rapidly rotted, falling off the Marines, leaving them either fighting naked or devising field expedient clothing.
Note that the exact same issue, uniforms that fell apart in the field when used in combat conditions, happened in Afghanistan to US troops. Things never change.
Saw a post on X by a guy who claimed that he had a conversation with a high-ranking EU official who said (paraphrasing) – “Maybe Trump winning will finally get our leadership to start acting like adults.”
:P
Saw another post on X by someone who noted that the Handmaiden cosplayers always dress up as the high-status breeders who wear red, and never as the low-status menial workers who wear gray.
The term “4B” apparently comes from something similar in South Korea that Korean feminists have supposedly started doing (from what I’ve heard, it’s very limited, and has had virtually no effect on anything, despite what certain people will insist). Thus, lefty women who decide to follow the new 4B strictures… are engaging in Cultural Appropriation!
What’s hilarious about the 4B appropriators is that they’re only hurting their own side. Guys on the right have been saying for years, in ways ranging from crude to polite, “stay away from crazies” which most of these leftist women definitely resemble. The guys who would want to sleep with them are mostly leftists, so their 4B pledge will have practically no effect on the people they think they’re shutting out.
Oops, sorry… I was thinking that the crude phrase was the version that doesn’t use the pronoun, but specifies–in vulgar vernacular–what “it” is that shouldn’t be… ah… introduced.
These Feminazis shrieking “No sex unless our demands are met!” — are casting all sexual relations in terms of prostitution. Sex is only to be considered a commodity, controlled by them, and exchanged for something else they want. That’s a real shitty attitude.
Yes, liberal women are telling other liberal women to make a poison called Aqua Tofana, a poison concocted in the 1600s by Giulia Tofana, a woman in Rome who sold the brew to women in order to poison their husbands (over 600 victims were reportedly killed by the poison, which was often hidden in vials labeled for cosmetic or religious use). The poison was believed to have been a mix of arsenic, lead, and belladonna.
And yes, the last few videos in that compilation show women discussing how to use poison rings to kill men.
Note, the X links are real. For now; several seem to have realized that advertising premeditated murder is a Bad Thing. And I picked NTB because some of the other articles are paywalled.
There were predictions that the left would lose its mind over Trump’s win. But between this, and the man who reportedly killed himself and his family, this is beyond what I expected. Screaming, yes. Lots of therapy, yes. Riots, yes (though those seem absent so far).
I hope no one follows through on this particular mad scheme. And if it does actually happen, I hope it triggers a massive backlash in the public.
This is a longshot, but I figured I might as well ask. I read a sci-fi novel in the mid- to late-2000s that I’d like to find again, but I can only remember snippets of it:
First person, present tense narration, set in the future
Heavy focus on biotech, including complex scent molecules that played ads in your brain when you inhaled them
Includes piezoelectric power generation and negative pressure seals
Does that ring any bells? I wish I had something more substantial to go on, but that’s all I’ve got.
Trying to recall how many of those states signed the Popular Vote Compact.
I hope they don’t actually follow it, as support for telling them to F off if we get another win from the Electoral College alone.
Though I don’t see that happening. Too many Americans have seen the living monster of Leftist totanlitarianism, and have seen the effects of the 2020 steal.
IIRC, part of the Compact was an agreement that it would not go into effect until enough states to make up a majority of electoral votes all signed on. They haven’t reached that level yet.

Its probably unconstitutional, but I’d like to see a fed requirement for paper ballots and scantrons. Within 30 minutes of a polling location closing, they have the vote totals. If the central location(s) are only having to total those, and have them within 2 hours….
If the states want to do something else for state and local level offices, let them. I’d happily fill out two separate ballots.
No scantrons. Just paper ballots, counted in public. How the paper ballots are counted is up to the states. Don’t lock the elections into one mostly obsolete technology.
HOWEVER — if any sort of mechanical or electronic ballot counting devices are used, EVERY ASPECT of them MUST be open to public inspection and validation. No ‘sooper seekret’ software hidden behind a litigious corporate front that sues people for $billions if they raise legitimate questions about its accuracy.
Plus, there must ALWAYS be the option for hand counting. I read that Michigan has prohibited hand counting ballots. They are FORCED to use the machines. WTF, O? How can that be Constitutional? If the machines are…inaccurate, shall we say, how does running the same ballots through the same machines again prove anything? How can we allow our elections to be controlled by an unaccountable corporation, without even the option to double-check their reliability?
Yes, hand counting is labor intensive. That is a GOOD thing! More eyes on the process makes election fraud harder to pull off and harder to hide.
No scantrons. …Don’t lock the elections into one mostly obsolete technology.
What’s “mostly obsolete” about scantrons? Why not say “mature technology” instead?
Whatever makes California’s count so slow, it’s probably not the tech. More likely it’s the time required for humans to eyeball a million “wrong” ballots and “cure” them by hand.
Yes, absolutely, the illegal-to-audit, tortious-to-even-question, sooper-seekrit (but not “obsolete”, oh no!) software has got to go.
Of course there’s NO POSSIBLE WAY that such up-to-date software could “re-weight” a million votes on the fly, mind you, and only paranoidical conspiratorious election-denying theoretizers JUST LIKE YOU could even suggest that such a thing could ever happen in Our Democracy, I wanna make that clear… it’s just a matter of optics, is all.
CA is not a curing issue: According to the CA SoS “unprocessed ballots” page I linked above, of the 5m “unprocessed” there’s only 142k “Ballots left to cure”.
What I like about them, at least the way my area does them, is that they really do just merely count the ballots. If there are any questions/concerns, we still have paper ballots which can be counted by hand.
Same here. Part of the job as a poll worker was the delivery of the paper ballots along with the scantron that counted them to the precinct, and the ballots were not to be destroyed or otherwise tampered with. (Poll workers doing ballot reconciliation—that’s where you make sure all of your numbers match up—can take a while after polls close and the last ballots are cast.)
Doctor’s offices are forced legally to fax in prescriptions rather than send them electronically. We do not know what the future holds, so let us be wary of requirements tied to tech.
By evidence that won;t fix anything. California has had only machine-readable “mark in the bubble” scantron-like ballots for many, many years, and we’re still among the slowest in the country.
California is THE slowest. Every other state is substantially ahead of California’s pitiful 66% — FIVE DAYS after the election. There is no legitimate excuse for this.
And it’s mostly LA County, with a million still uncounted. Add in Orange and Riverside and SB counties and it’s around 2m out of the 5 total “unprocessed”.
Do they not do the scanning at the polling places?
Or is this an issue with the millions of mail-in ballots?
Assuming, sadly, it’s the latter, this insane time lag in getting a result seems to me an excellent reason to make mail-in voting harder, not easier or required.
Apparently CT just passed a ballot measure to make mail-in voting accessible for any reason whatsoever. I voted against it, but at least it’s not trying to make mail-in voting mandatory. Yet.
If you look at the report at https://electionresults.sos.ca.gov/unprocessed-ballots-status (which they have not updated since Friday – I bet counting has not been happening over the long weekend, state government union job, you understand) they have columns for counts of unprocessed ballots for in-person, vote-by-mail that arrived on time, vote-by-mail that arrived late, provisional, conditional, and “other”. The vast majority of uprocessed are vote-by-mail that arrived on time.
I do note that Los Angeles County has reported exactly 50,000 vote-by-mail that arrived late. Not 49,999, not 50,001, but exactly 50,000. Amazingly precise, that.
In addition, any actual errors in hand counting won’t favor one party or one candidate; they’ll be more or less equally distributed. Not so the ‘errors’ we’ve seen from voting machines, which are so one-sided as to violate the fundamental principles of the universe.
I would indeed consider it unconstitutional. The Constitution allows the states to determine how elections are conducted, with the only Federal conditions imposed when the General Election is held, and who is allowed to vote.
Yep. Federal courts recently reinforced the Election “Day” rather than week or ten days or month or year, and there’s a date fixed by which the states have to report their electors up the line, but that’s it.
That date should be set no more than 3 days after the election. If a state government can’t get their votes counted by Friday, they’re SOL. Sack everybody involved in election administration and start criminal investigations. Toughski shitski.
Reminds me – I heard about a Trump voter the other day who found out that his parents voted for Harris. He’s so angry that he said that he’s not going to visit their graves anymore.
“Grandpa voted Republican until the day he died — but he’s been voting Democrat ever since.”
Or a scene that belongs in Larry Correia’s Monster Hunter universe. Staff member runs into Chicago mayor’s office in a panic. “All our dead voters have risen from their graves and they’re PISSED!!”

Its probably unconstitutional, but I’d like to see a fed requirement for paper ballots and scantrons. Within 30 minutes of a polling location closing, they have the vote totals. If the central location(s) are only having to total those, and have them within 2 hours….
If the states want to do something else for state and local level offices, let them. I’d happily fill out two separate ballots.
LikeLike
No scantrons. Just paper ballots, counted in public. How the paper ballots are counted is up to the states. Don’t lock the elections into one mostly obsolete technology.
HOWEVER — if any sort of mechanical or electronic ballot counting devices are used, EVERY ASPECT of them MUST be open to public inspection and validation. No ‘sooper seekret’ software hidden behind a litigious corporate front that sues people for $billions if they raise legitimate questions about its accuracy.
Plus, there must ALWAYS be the option for hand counting. I read that Michigan has prohibited hand counting ballots. They are FORCED to use the machines. WTF, O? How can that be Constitutional? If the machines are…inaccurate, shall we say, how does running the same ballots through the same machines again prove anything? How can we allow our elections to be controlled by an unaccountable corporation, without even the option to double-check their reliability?
Yes, hand counting is labor intensive. That is a GOOD thing! More eyes on the process makes election fraud harder to pull off and harder to hide.

Same here. Part of the job as a poll worker was the delivery of the paper ballots along with the scantron that counted them to the precinct, and the ballots were not to be destroyed or otherwise tampered with.

Or is this an issue with the millions of mail-in ballots?
Assuming, sadly, it’s the latter, this insane time lag in getting a result seems to me an excellent reason to make mail-in voting harder, not easier or required.
Apparently CT just passed a ballot measure to make mail-in voting accessible for any reason whatsoever. I voted against it, but at least it’s not trying to make mail-in voting mandatory. Yet.

If you look at the report at https://electionresults.sos.ca.gov/unprocessed-ballots-status (which they have not updated since Friday – I bet counting has not been happening over the long weekend, state government union job, you understand) they have columns for counts of unprocessed ballots for in-person, vote-by-mail that arrived on time, vote-by-mail that arrived late, provisional, conditional, and “other”. The vast majority of uprocessed are vote-by-mail that arrived on time.
I do note that Los Angeles County has reported exactly 50,000 vote-by-mail that arrived late. Not 49,999, not 50,001, but exactly 50,000. Amazingly precise, that.
