Reading the article SF is amazed by how cavelier the term "Ruling Class" is used and readily accepted by everyone. If there were not a Donald Trump elected President, would we ever see the depths of this "Ruling Class" like we are now? This "Ruling Class" is so dead set on keeping the likes of another non-member of that ilk, they are dedicated to absolutely ruining this man as an example to anyone who would ever attempt to try breaking them up again. This also means there will never be a third party candidate that will ever garner enough support to break into that block. So vote your convictions and feel good about it, but just know that action will never amount to anything except your feeling good about it. You can like him or dis-like him, but nobody can deny the overtly political motivation behind these latest charges especially in the face of the obvious criminality that is absolutely evident in the Biden family up to and including the current President immediately after Hunter Biden crime partner Devon Archer testified before congress.

SF is surprised, but I guess not really......Consider the source, I guess....... https://www.foxnews.com/media/illinois-gov-pritzker-allows-non-us-citizens-become-police-officers-new-law-fundamentally-bad-idea?fbclid=IwAR11XJOgwoAOS93bb6hLiMw1RD_xNwsBQ-3DgtmrkWWmwu7HEVMnQ3Ra0MY Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill into law that allows non-U.S. citizens to become police officers in the state, angering critics who slammed the idea of foreigners arresting American citizens as "a fundamentally bad idea." Illinois House Bill 3751 will no longer require U.S. citizenship as a qualification to become a police officer in the state. The bill was signed by the Democrat governor on Friday and will go into effect on January 1, 2024, despite facing heavy opposition from GOP lawmakers and prominent police groups. The bill "provides that an individual who is not a citizen but is legally authorized to work in the United States under federal law is authorized to apply for the position of police officer, subject to all requirements and limitations, other than citizenship, to which other applicants are subject," HB3751 reads, adding that non-U.S. citizens must be able to obtain, carry, purchase, or otherwise possess a firearm under federal law to apply for the job.

After the news of the plea deal of the century falling through yesterday, SF wonders who at the DOJ F-ed up and let that Judge come into and throw a wrench in the middle of a plea deal that both the Defense AND the Prosecution had agreed on giving Hunter nearly lifetime immunity for just about anything.......With the hand-picked people in the right positions, SF thinks someone (somehow) in or around the Bidens didn't put down the bong, dropped the ball on that one and allowed a real Judge into this......

Is the public actually noticing the fact that Trump was impeached for allegedly asking ("quid pro quo" according to the left) Ukraine to help investigate the Biden crime family for precisely what is starting to come to the surface now involving the former Vice President and his "formerly" drug-addicted artist son? Or is everything still Trump's fault?

One of the poster children for term limits........

IDK - but Uncle Joe now says "We ended cancer as we know it" as his son's plea deal seems to be falling apart as the prosecutors are keeping future charges alive. https://nypost.com/2023/07/26/hunter-biden-arrives-at-court-accompanied-by-sugar-brother-kevin-morris/ https://nypost.com/2023/07/26/hunter-bidens-plea-implosion-a-nail-in-coffin-to-joes-campaign/

Nevermind the many many MANY real serious criminal acts that are coming to light now from the "Biden Crime Family" that are not even being challenged (just ignored) by the MSM. So here's some different news - Uncle Joe's dog biting the Secret Service agents again and he thinks they are lying about it....... https://nypost.com/2023/07/25/biden-dog-commander-bit-or-threatened-10-people-sent-one-to-hospital/ Biden, 80, has reportedly expressed doubts about the honesty of a Secret Service member who reported being bitten on the leg by his prior dog Major, also a German shepherd, and the White House has not disclosed any biting incidents involving Commander, who often can be heard barking on the executive mansion’s grounds. Behind the scenes, agents described alarming series of incidents. The most serious incident on Nov. 3 began as a Secret Service officer was seated at the bottom of a stairwell at the White House. Commander “came down the stairs and walked toward” them, according to an internal agency email. The dog, unprovoked, reportedly bit the officer’s arm on the tricep area — and, when the officer stood up, chomped down on their quad muscle area on the leg. Another officer reported that the attack victim reported “a considerable amount of pain” and said that they were forced to use a steel cart to shield against further attack. An officer at the Secret Service Joint Operations Center wrote, “WH medical treated the officer and made the decision to have [the victim] transported to [redacted] Hospital.” Two days after the incident, the attacked agent, whose doctor placed them on restricted duty for three days after their visit to the hospital, emailed to a colleague who asked about their recovery: “My leg and arm still hurts. He bit me twice and ran at me twice.” The fellow Secret Service member wrote back: “What a joke… if it wasn’t their dog he would already have been put down – freaking clown needs a muzzle.” Some of the incidents directly involved the first family, according to the email cache. On Nov. 10, a Secret Service Uniformed Division officer was bitten on the left thigh by Commander while first lady Jill Biden walked the dog in the Kennedy Garden near the East Wing and reported “bruising, tenderness and pain in the bite area,” a communication in the document production reveals. On Nov. 14, another Secret Service officer described in an emailed report having to defend themselves with a chair to prevent being attacked. The officer wrote that they “heard the dog bark with a loud aggressive sound” and “looked up and saw him at the landing of the ushers staircase. I made eye contact with him and grabbed the black chair I was sitting on and held it in front of me while backing up.” On Dec. 11, a Secret Service special agent in the Presidential Protective Division reported being was bitten after the president took Commander off his leash after watching a movie — writing that he had a 1.5 cm cut and bruising to the attacked agent’s arm and a 1 cm cut due to a second bite on his hand and thumb. One of the agent’s bosses wrote in an email also released to Judicial Watch that “this occurred after departing the family movie theatre” with “Commander and family members (total 6 participants).” President Biden “requested to take Commander (on the leash) to the Kennedy Garden. Once at the KG, POTUS took Commander off the leash to run free. I was present to observe [redacted] departing from the Kennedy Garden to move behind [redacted] toward the south ground drive via the internal garden gate when [the attack] occurred.” A workplace injury form show that a Secret Service officer also was bitten on Dec. 16. “I was walking across the complex and a dog bit my left arm,” the officer wrote, describing the injury as, “Dog bite, superficial laceration, contusion, soreness, and bruising.” On Christmas Eve, a Secret Service inspector wrote to colleagues that one day prior another officer “was bitten while posted at [redacted location] yesterday.” “Nearly every official in the room with me today spoke about specific incidents surrounding the First Family’s dog,” the inspector’s email said. On Jan. 2, an agency technical security investigator was attacked when investigating an alarm at the president’s Wilmington home, where he often spends the weekend. “Commander squeezed his way through the door and immediately bit/latched onto the lower right side of my back,” the attack victim wrote in an email. A person whose name was redacted from the email “told Commander to get down and assisted in pulling him off,” the technician wrote. “The total incident did not last more than about 10 seconds and Commander went back inside the residence. [The person whose name was redacted] was apologetic after the incident. After checking my lower back, there’s a 1×1 scratched, bruised spot where Commander grabbed onto and was bleeding consistent of a scratch like rug burn.” The incidents seemed to begin in October of last year. In the first documented instance, on the morning of Oct. 5, Commander “jumped on” an emergency response technician on the White House grounds and bit at their “arm/wrist area” On Oct 3 at a door leading to the garden near the East Wing, Commander “inflicted a ‘friendly soft bite’ on [a Secret Service agent’s] forearm as [he] held the door open,” though “no skin was broken from the bite.” On Oct. 26, a uniformed division Secret Service officer wrote: “Commander has been exhibiting extremely aggressive behavior. Today, while posted, he came charging at me. The First Lady couldn’t regain control of commander [sic] and he continued to circle me. I believe it’s only a matter of time before an agent/officer is attacked or bit.” “He would have bit me today if I didn’t step towards him a couple different times. It was bad enough that the agent on the detail asked if I got bit – just so you’re aware.”

Today, SF is wondering (based on the lyrics) which song is more offensive? I guess if some gal(s) in the Hip-Hop world want to sing about the condition of her Hoo-Haa(s), then that's her/their prerogative. I would argue the same for a country singer who wants to illustrate the difference between small-town values compared with larger city values. I suppose guilty minds may find his lyrics offensive........ Cardi B (Featuring Megan the Stallion) Multi-award winning song W.A.P.

I am normally "over-polite" with yes Maam, Thank you Maam, "how can I help you maam" utilizing respect whenever I can as my father taught me. "Showing and living respectful will never get you in trouble" was one of his mantras. SF is still the same guy, but just hoping my next "yes maam" or "yes sir" doesn't get me in trouble or offend someone...... May need to remember that First Amendment argument......

Tennis has it's own Colin Kaepernick.......An "older" competitor on a severe losing streak has panic attack after her (much younger) opponent did something she didn't agree with and is calling her action racist..... https://nypost.com/2023/07/20/kiara-toth-zhang-shuai-controversy-takes-racism-twist/ It appears Hungarian Open tournament organizers have found a way to make a growing controversy worse. After video showed Kiara Toth erasing a ball mark on a questionable call and celebrating as her opponent, China’s Zhang Shuai, was forced to retire due to a panic attack, a post on the tournament’s Facebook page appeared to defend the 20-year-old Toth. “(Toth) did not decide if the ball was good or not. It was the decision of the linesman and then the chair umpire,” the post circulating on social media read. “The Hungarian tennis player in the first WTA match of her life may not have behaved in every situation, but she did nothing that could be described as a lack of integrity. And there is no deflection, no misunderstanding. The Chinese are manipulating the world with a manipulative video.”

Unfortunately, I'd be right there in the cell beside you.......

WOW MAN - SF has a sudden urge to dust off my roller blades.....and head to Reno.....

So am I the only person in the entire United States that believes the Secret Service, the organization tasked with security of the most secure building in the world knows exactly who it was that inadvertently left their stash in one of the most secure locations within that building? Seriously? They knew within the first hour of discovery who had utilized that "cubby" for the past 12 months minimum. Worse yet - If they didn't - then someone destroyed the video recordings (complete with the latest facial recognition technology) before they could be viewed.

Does anyone actually think Unilever is going to just "give it back"? https://www.outkick.com/native-americans-ben-jerrys-land-back-abenaki-nation/ A Native American tribe in Vermont wants its land back from Ben & Jerry’s after the company’s 4th of July message. Instead of celebrating America like the rest of the country, the woke ice cream company decided to spend Independence Day attacking the USA and claiming the country exists on stolen land. Ben & Jerry’s demanded land be returned to Native American people. Well, it might be time for the ice cream company to put its money where its mouth is. Native American tribe demands Ben & Jerry’s returns its land. Nulhegan Band of The Coosuk Abenaki Nation Chief Don Stevens informed Newsweek he’s very interested in getting the land Ben & Jerry’s headquarters is on because it originally belonged to his tribe. He told the publicaltion the tribe was “always interested in reclaiming the stewardship of our lands.” However, Ben & Jerry’s doesn’t seem interested in playing ball. As of Friday, the company had not reached out to Stevens to broker a deal that would see the land return to the original owners. “If and when we are approached, many conversations and discussions will need to take place to determine the best path forward for all involved,” Stevens explained. Ben & Jerry’s headquarters “sits on a vast swathe of U.S. territory that was under the auspices of the Abenaki people before colonization,” according to the same Newsweek report. This was destined to happen. It was only a matter of time before people realized whether or not any Ben & Jerry’s locations or property existed on land previously occupied by Native Americans. Turns out, the company’s headquarters are on land formerly controlled by Native Americans. Yet, as of Saturday, Ben & Jerry’s hasn’t begun the process of demolishing its headquarters in Vermont. Why not? Doesn’t Ben & Jerry’s believe in returning all land in the United States to Native American tribes? That’s what the company declared on the 4th of July. Or was it just woke virtue signaling? Because if the ice cream brand is serious, it should have vacated its headquarters days ago. We’ve reached out to Ben & Jerry’s to see if the land will be returned and what the timeline is to get it done. Stay tuned for any developments.

ISF just heard that MLK JR just rolled over in his grave. https://nypost.com/2023/07/09/liberal-supreme-court-justice-comes-out-in-favor-of-segregation/ Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is trying to put one over on America. In her dissent from the high court’s long-overdue ruling against racial preferences in college admissions, she cited an utterly bogus statistic. “For high-risk Black newborns, having a Black physician more than doubles the likelihood that the baby will live,” she wrote in rationalizing Harvard’s bigotry against Asian-American applicants. Yet that black-infant mortality number is obvious bunk. If it were true, it would mean thousands of black infants dying every year thanks to white doctors’ secret racism. And other issues (such as the awful racial disparity in very-low-birthweight babies) dwarf any MD factor. Brown Jackson herself is no dummy. She’s a lifelong academic overachiever, a grad of both Harvard and Harvard Law. Did she really not recognize a garbage stat simply because it confirms her worldview? She basically just quoted a brief filed in support of Harvard, but didn’t look back at the study the brief cited, which doesn’t make the absurd claim: It found a minuscule difference, and also a hair of a higher mortality rate for black doctors treating white newborns. Follow the the justice’s “logic” to its ugly conclusion, and she’s calling for racially segregated medical care. Happily, the Supremes kiboshed the “separate but equal” farce decades ago. In the clear light of day, Brown Jackson’s dissent on affirmative action just reaffirms the majority’s wisdom in at long last striking it down.

BR is right though, (IMHO) the B&J Ice Cream itself is mediocre, but the concoctions and different flavorings of built-in toppings is almost divine. So the level of left-wing craziness you need to come up with some of that stuff is to be expected and tolerated.

SF normally keeps the Edy's single serving size tubs from the Dollar General by the house handy in the freezer, and on occasion they get in the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ben & Jerry's that I like as well. This story won't change SF's penchant for good B & J ice cream, but I have to wonder why, if you are a company that makes great ice cream, don't you just stick to that instead of letting some idiot marketing person pop off a personal attitude tweet about your resident country and alienate (probably more than half) your market? Seriously, you just cost your Corporate ownership a load of money and some goodwill that is tough to come by and tough to hold onto...... https://nypost.com/2023/07/06/ben-jerrys-boycott-calls-unilever-stock-falls/ Ben & Jerry’s parent company has lost roughly $2.5 billion in market cap amid calls to boycott the Vermont-based ice cream maker over a July 4 tweet condemning the US for existing on “stolen Indigenous land.” Shares of Unilever, the Anglo-Dutch multinational firm, slid as much as 1% at Thursday’s opening bell after closing down .5% the previous day. The company’s stock price has fallen to roughly $51 after closing at $52.28 during Monday’s shortened trading — and the day before Ben & Jerry’s posted its unpatriotic tweet. The result has seen its market cap drop to $131 billion from the roughly $133.5 billion on Monday. Ben & Jerry’s, which was acquired by Unilever but whose board remains independent in voicing its views on political issues, said the July 4 celebrations can “distract from an essential truth about this nation’s birth.” “This 4th of July, it’s high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it,” the brand’s official Twitter account and a statement on Ben & Jerry’s website trumpeted. “The faces on Mount Rushmore are the faces of men who actively worked to destroy Indigenous cultures and ways of life, to deny Indigenous people their basic rights.” The tweet and the statement prompted social media users to call for a boycott of the ice cream maker — echoing the reaction to Bud Light’s recent partnership with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. “Make @benndjerrys Bud Light again,” one Twitter user commented. “Just when you think @benandjerrys couldn’t go any lower – they pull this stunt. Boycott Ben and Jerry’s,” another Twitter user wrote. On Wednesday, Unilever was called out for its hypocrisy over continuing to sell its Cornetto ice cream and other products in Russia in defiance of calls to exit the country over its invasion of Ukraine — while criticizing the US. Last year, Unilever’s subsidiaries paid $331 million in taxes to the Kremlin, according to reports. Unilever has defended its decision to continue operations in Russia, saying that leaving the country is “not straightforward.” If the company pulled up stakes and left Russia, its 3,000 employees and its brands “would be appropriated — and then operated — by the Russian state,” according to the statement. “In addition, we do not think it is right to abandon our people in Russia,” the firm said. The Post has sought comment from Unilever and Ben & Jerry’s. Ben & Jerry’s has been the subject of prior boycott calls over its refusal to sell its ice cream in the Israeli settlements built on the West Bank. The company ended up suing its corporate parent after it sold the famous brand to a local Israeli licensee who resumed selling ice cream under the Ben & Jerry’s name.
