LinkSwarm for July 30, 2021

Greetings, and welcome to another Friday LinkSwarm! It’s seems less that I “finish” these than I abandon them…


  • Flu Manchu deaths hit zero in Sweden. Seems like “protect the elderly and go for herd immunity” was a much better strategy than “lock everything down, throw the economy into a steep recession, throw millions out of work, practice ineffective masking theater and let antifa/#BlackLivesMatter burn everything down so the Democratic Media Complex can drag Biden’s ambulatory corpse across the finish line in November.” Who’d of thunk it?
  • “Dem says party will lose House unless filibuster is squashed to pass election bill.” Dems: How can we win if you won’t let us cheat?
  • Supreme Court upholds Arizona’s voting integrity laws. Naturally, Democrats freak out…
  • Also in the courts, a defeat for Biden’s racist reparations policy.
  • Did Republicans surrender on pork-laden infrastructure bill? Sure seems that way. You can brag about how small the shit sandwich you’re eating is compared to the much larger one they wanted to shove down your throat, but it’s still a shit sandwich. Write your senators to express opposition to any infrastructure bill.
  • “North Carolina Congressman Proposes to Kill 2,378 Pet Projects in New Budget.” Good. (Hat tip: Stephen Green at Instapundit.)
  • Speaking of corruption:

    The brother of one of President Joe Biden’s closest advisors lobbied members of the National Security Council for General Motors in the second quarter, according to a new disclosure report reviewed by CNBC.

    The report shows that Jeff Ricchetti, brother of White House counselor Steve Ricchetti, engaged with the NSC for the car-making giant on “issues related to China.” The company paid Ricchetti $60,000 last quarter for his lobbying services.

  • Gavin Newsom just might lose the California recall. How bad do you have to suck to lose a recall election in a one-party state? The answer is “Gavin Newsom bad.”
  • He’s also trying to ban fracking.
  • By a 9-1 margin, Detroit residents are more concerned with controlling crime than police reform:

    By an overwhelming 9-1, they would feel safer with more cops on the street, not fewer. Though one-third complain that Detroit police use force when it isn’t necessary – and Black men report high rates of racial profiling – those surveyed reject by 3-1 the slogan of some progressives to “defund the police.”

    “It’s scary sitting in the house, and when you go outside to the gas station or the store, it’s possible someone will be shooting right next to you,” said Charlita Bell, 41, a lifelong Detroit resident who was among those called in the poll. Last year, when her car was hit by stray bullets during a shopping trip, she hurried home rather than wait for the police for fear the shooter might return.

  • Things that make you go “Hmmmm“: “Why Are Soros And Gates Buying UK COVID Testing Company?”
  • France Warned US in 2015 About China’s Wuhan Lab“:

    In 2015, French intelligence officials warned the U.S. State Department and their own foreign ministry that China was cutting back on agreed collaboration at the lab, former State Department official David Asher, now a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute think tank, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

    By 2017, the French “were kicked out” of the lab and cooperation ceased, leading French officials to warn the State Department that they had grave concerns as to Chinese motivations, according to Asher.

  • 90% of the illegal aliens let in by the Biden Administration don’t report to ICE as required by law. This is my shocked face. (Hat tip: Director Blue.)
  • “If you hate the culture wars, blame liberals.”
  • “Liz Cheney Is The Most Unpopular Republican In The Country.” To quote the nameless sage: Duh!
  • Connecticut Democrat arrested for committing that voting fraud that doesn’t exist.

    Bridgeport Councilman Michael DeFilippo has been indicted by a federal grand jury on multiple election fraud charges.

    DeFilippo, 35, a Democrat who represents Bridgeport’s 133rd District and has been a city councilman since 2018, is accused of conspiring to “interfere with and obstruct Bridgeport citizens’ right to vote by falsifying his tenants’ voter registration applications and absentee ballots applications, then stealing tenants’ absentee ballots and forging their signatures in order to fraudulently vote for him,” according to Acting U.S. Attorney Leonard C. Boyle.

  • “Antifa celebrates as Washington State police officer shot in the head and killed.” (Hat tip: Ian Miles Cheong.)
  • Despite soaring crime rates, left wing idiots on the Minneapolis City Council still want to defund the police. (Hat tip: Ace of Spades HQ.)
  • Who is behind the defunding push? You know who.

    Billionaire financier George Soros directed $1 million to a left-wing group that seeks to cut funding to police departments around the country, according to federal records.

    Soros sent the funds to the Color of Change PAC on May 14, the Washington Free Beacon reported on July 22, citing Federal Election Commission (FEC) records. The contribution was the largest political contribution made by Soros during the 2021 election cycle.

    Color of Change, which describes itself as a racial justice group, has frequently called for the defunding of police departments across the United States, including leading an online campaign to slash funding following the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.

  • Man threatens to rape, kill woman through her Ring doorbell camera.
  • Speaking of doorbell cameras: Justice is served:

  • Also speaking of instant justice, Texas style: Everybody must get stoned.
  • MyPillow employee beheaded in Shakopee, Minnesota. Suspect is in custody. “They say Alexis Saborit is also facing previous charges of property damage, arson, and obstruction. The presiding judge, Richard C. Perkins, allegedly ignored claims of mental illness brought forward to the court and [Saborit] was somehow released back into the public.”
  • Joe Biden’s own laws don’t apply to Hunter:

  • Texas Governor Greg Abbott finally preempts localities from imposing capacity restrictions. Better late than never…
  • Sucky cable news channels continue to suck:

  • Dust storm envelops Phoenix.
  • Jackie Mason, RIP. Also one from Dwight.
  • Speaking of Dwight obits, Snort Snodgrass, acclaimed fighter pilot.
  • Scarlett Johansson sues Disney, “alleging that her contract was breached when Black Widow was released on Disney+.”

    Image totally for illustrative purposes.

  • The British definition of happiness is a bit different than ours…
  • Some Mao Tze Lung memes:

  • “Hunter Biden’s Polar Bear Standing by a White Rock in a Blizzard sells for $10 million to unknown buyer.” (Hat tip: Director Blue.)
  • Saw meets the Lockpicking Lawyer.
  • Maniac MANiac…
