This is the news coverage:

On the morning of Sept. 20, HPD Senior Officer William “Bill” Jeffrey and Sgt. Michael Vance were part of a team of officers who attempted to execute a narcotics arrest warrant for Deon Ledet at a northeast Harris County apartment complex. Jeffrey was killed and Vance was critically injured when Ledet opened fire through the apartment door.

“If you pay particular attention to the body worn camera of the two officers, the sergeant and Officer Jeffrey at the door, you get the best indication that that weapon was firing in a fully automatic mode,” said ATF Special Agent in Charge Fred Milanowski.

Milanowski said his agency has encountered the devices before in Houston. About 100 of the so-called auto switches have been confiscated by ATF agents in Houston so far this year, and seven investigations across the area involved 11 handguns that had the device attached.

The auto switches work by applying force to a gun’s trigger bar to allow it to fire multiple rounds while a trigger is pressed. Guns can fire 30 rounds in just 2.6 seconds, Milanowski said.

I’m surprised there were not more casualties.

OSLO, Norway — A man armed with a bow and arrow killed five people and wounded two others in a series of attacks in the Norwegian town of Kongsberg on Wednesday, local police said.

The suspect was in custody, police added.

“The man used a bow and arrow … for some of the attacks,” police chief Oeyvind Aas told reporters. The police were investigating whether other weapons had also been used, he said.

“The man has been apprehended … from the information we now have, this person carried out these actions alone,” Aas added.

We need to have some common sense legislation to control these weapons of war.

The mind is the weapon, not the artifact. Not till this is understood by everybody, we will be able to get some peace when it comes to our Rights.

AP: U.S. government expects households to see heating bills jump as much as 54% compared to last winter

— Josh Caplan (@joshdcaplan) October 13, 2021

Hooray, $600 per month to heat a 2,500 sq-ft home.

Screw the working and middle classes, they can wear sweatshirts and keep the thermostat at 62 degrees.

Fuck Joe Biden.

And any OpEd writer who does a “well ackchyually this price increase/inflation rate is good” while the cost of my heat and hot cocoa goes up by half deserves to have a concrete block duct taped to the side of their head thrown into the nearest deep body of water.

From The Daily Mail:

Inflation rate rises to 5.4% – matching the 13-year high set this summer – as meat prices jump 10% and gas prices soar 42% from a year ago

The consumer price index rose 5.4 percent in September from a year ago, up slightly from August’s gain of 5.3 percent and matching the levels seen in June and July.

Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core inflation rose 0.2 percent in September and 4 percent compared with a year ago. The core inflation number hit a three-decade high of 4.5 percent in June.

The big take away of this article is this infographic:

By midterms next year, going to a chain restaurant for a burger will be  $20 and a steak is going to be a luxury $40 item.

Applebee’s is gonna be like Ruth’s Chris.

We’re going to go back to home tailoring clothes and turning every last bit of leftovers into a casserole like our depression era grandparents.

It’s going to suck something fierce.

Don’t worry, according to Bloomberg, that’s good.

America Needs Higher, Longer-Lasting Inflation
The benefits of moderately rising prices and wages outweigh the costs.

All of this has economists and central bankers dutifully poring over data for signs of when or whether inflation, currently just under 4%, will drift back toward the Federal Reserve’s target of 2%. Instead, they should be considering a more fundamental question: whether the Fed should strive to make 4% inflation permanent.

Inflation — particularly when caused by sharp increases in a few products — is politically unpopular. A modest sustained increase in prices and wages, however, would create a more stable U.S. economy by improving debt dynamics and giving the Fed more flexibility. In an uncertain world, those two advantages make higher inflation more than worth it.

Sure, you lost the ability to grill burgers or have a BLT at home whenever you want as a middle-class American.  You’re rationing out food, reusing your coffee grounds, and have given up on a road trip to grandma’s this year because you can’t afford the gas, but that’s a good thing because the Fed or something, something, you don’t understand because you don’t have a degree in monetary theory.

Welcome to the Great Deprestagflation, and your suffering is good for the nation.  You don’t understand why but it is because some Wall Street shit-weasel said so.

Kamala slams European explorers who ‘ushered in a wave of devastation for Tribal nations’ and vows the Biden administration will work to address the impact of America’s ‘shameful past’

Kamala Harris has vowed to address the ‘shameful past’ of America’s European explorers, saying they ‘ushered in a wave of devastation’ for Native Americans when they arrived 500 years ago.

The vice president was speaking at the National Congress of American Indians 78th Annual Convention, held this year in Portland, Oregon.

Harris told the delegates: ‘Since 1934, every October, the United States has recognized the voyage of the European explorers who first landed on the shores of the Americas.

‘But that is not the whole story. That has never been the whole story.

‘Those explorers ushered in a wave of devastation for Tribal nations — perpetrating violence, stealing land, and spreading disease.’

How can you work to help a country if you have nothing but shame for how it was founded and its majority population?

You can’t.

Which probably explains everything else this administration is doing.

They are just not hiding their contempt anymore.
