Moronic Congressman says you have no right to breathe

Breathing.

He’s talking about breathing without a mask on.

According to Lieu, you have NO RIGHT to respirate in public without some sort of barrier over your nose and mouth, because your atomized bodily fluids offend him.

Imagine this precedent being set.  Big government actually having the authority to punish you for going outside and taking an unencumbered breath of fresh air.

The Left has gone utterly insane.

They actually believe themselves to be the good guys telling your that your right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness somehow does not include the right to simply inhale and exhale in the open air the way mankind has done since we first emerged as a species some 10 million years ago up until some shit-weasel bureaucrat decided we needed to wear masks last year.

I see no orderly way back from this.

About that Systemic Racism the Left loves to talk about

Some of you may remember this little incident some decades ago. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the ATF:

In July 1995, national attention focused suddenly on an annual private gathering in southeastern Tennessee known as the “Good O’ Boy Roundup” (Roundup). News stories reported that the Roundup was a “whites-only” gathering of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and other federal law enforcement officers that resembled a “Klan rally” and at which these agents discriminated against blacks by posting racist signs, wearing racist T-shirts, performing racist skits, and playing racist music. A widely-publicized excerpt from a home video allegedly filmed at a Roundup showed a sign that read, “Nigger check point.” In addition, allegations of criminal conduct, including narcotics distribution and rape, were raised at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing held within ten days of the original news stories.

The link above takes you to the full text and you will probably (more than likely) be shocked to hell. And if you wonder about the consequences, take a wild guess what happened to the agents involved by thinking Operation Fast and Furious.

Somehow rather than bringing ATF to the high standards of conduct of other Federal Law Enforcement agencies, it seems we allowed to downgraded all of the agencies into the low standards of the ATF and then some.

Sometimes I do believe TSA is making stuff up.

The only reason I have doubts is 2 decades worth of experience with Florida Man.

A frigging chainsaw in carry on luggage? And yes, it is a carry on luggage intercept. This is their next tweet

With so much BS coming out the Feds, I do have the feeling this is not a case of the stupid. It may not be the case, but I am done giving the benefit of the doubt.

COVID Theater Of Fear: playing with percentages

This one popped yesterday afternoon:

Holy crap! Bodies must be stacking up in the morgue!

Not really.

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — Williamson Medical Center sent out a message Monday encouraging non-vaccinated community members to get their vaccine amid rising COVID-19 cases.

WMC reported a 633% increase in COVID-19 patients over the past three weeks. Currently, WMC has 22 COVID-19 patients with seven requiring critical care.

I am not dismissing or ignoring the plight of those people who are truly affected, but why does the TV station leads with an out of context percentage and then reveals the raw numbers? They are part of the COVID Theater Of Fear in the belief they can scare people into getting the shots.

Are the professional communicators so bad at their jobs that they cannot simply address the need to play it safe and get the vaccine?  Or is it that they enjoy the little bit of tumescence they get by trying to influence people with their craft and access?
