I'm in a state of shock

I've known for a couple of weeks I'm up for an award for raising funds on the DU. It will be several months before they select a winner.

Now the shocker. I'm up for a national LABOR award. We will know by Labor Day IF I win or not.

Stay tuned. You will be the first friends I tell.

A labor award for a chicken wing eating contest with your fellow union members?  Good for you fat ass.

SPLC Official Shared Bank Accounts With Neo-Nazi Informant

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The New York Post reported on Tuesday the identity of the Southern Poverty Law Center official who, according to court records, was in a relationship with one of the SPLC’s paid neo-Nazi informants.

According to the Post, the SPLC official is Heidi Beirich, who was the group’s director of intelligence between 2012 and 2019. The Post noted that the “Employee-2” named in the Justice Department’s indictment matches Beirich’s profile.

“One figure, referred to as ‘Employee-2’ in the indictment is described as a ‘person who would become Director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project,’” the Post noted. “It also describes how ‘Employee-2’ wrote an article based on material stolen from National Alliance headquarters in 2014 and then paid off an informant to take the blame for the robbery.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center funds various hate groups. Sounds like an agent provocateur.

New Oregon Initiative Would Criminalize Hunting, Fishing And Farming

Only 1% of the American population identifies as vegan (a person who refrains from using or consuming any animal products), and around 3% of the population identifies as vegetarian.  It is therefore a little confusing as to why American political and social discourse is hijacked by vegan issues so often.

Leftist activists have adopted the age-old mantra that the "squeaky wheel gets the oil"; but imagine a wheel that never gets enough oil?  Imagine a movement specifically designed to keep society constantly on egg shells, trying to figure out different ways to satisfy that squeaky wheel so it will finally shut up?

One eventually has to ask the obvious question:  Why don't we simply throw that insufferable wheel in the garbage?

Watch Oregon go hungry. Vegans are crazy and scary.

Got gas in our other car this PM at our usual station, and the price was down another 8 cents, $5.359/gallon.

IF Iran doesn't prove to have bargained in bad faith, the time DU-grade Progs should have foreseen and feared, when oil prices fell back to pre-Iran-attack levels, may have begun.
