Friday Links - 25 March

Of Arms and the Law starts us off with Alec Baldwin: words fail me. Baldwin maintains he is not responsible for anything. "Just an actor."

At least words than can be used on a family-friendly blog.

Gateway Pundit - Smash-and-Grab Thieves Steal Millions in Jewelry from Beverly Hills Jewelry Store in Broad Daylight Heist (VIDEO). I miss the rule of law.

The Feral Irishman - Say Their Names..... Brenda Aultman and Terry( Vann ) Aultman were killed. F*c*book killed the story. (Can you guess why?)

I may not know everything but I'm 100% certain of one thing.
If the races were reversed this story would still be on the news.

Chicago Contrarian - A Tale of Two Chicago Progressives

One question places the entire progressive edifice that has become Chicago and Cook County in clear perspective: Why is Mayor Lori Lightfoot at odds with the Chicago media, but Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx in league with them?

The likely answer puts both Chicago and Cook County in a clear yet dire perspective.

The Post Millennial - Disney employees busted in child trafficking sting just days after corporation opposed anti-grooming law

This announcement comes after on March 9, just days ago, the CEO of Disney loudly and publicly opposed Florida's new "anti-grooming" law, which, according to polls, is supported by over 60 percent of Americans.

Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog - Coming Food Shortages? Doubt It. I disagree; there will be shortages, just maybe not in the US.

The reasoning goes that, on top of existing supply chain disruptions, Russia and Ukraine were big wheat exporters, and Russia is the world’s biggest fertilizer exporter.

Bacon Time!!!! - I Don’t Stand With Ukraine….

Being an adult in the room asking questions about an obviously contrived media/political narrative does not make anyone a “Putin Stooge.”

Power Line - How to Make Crime Vanish. Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.

No sooner do we note here the out-of-control crime in San Francisco (and elsewhere in California) than we find a magical solution appear: stop collecting and reporting crime data!

Also from Power Line - We’ve Always Been at War With Eastasia. A New York Times reporter tried to lay a trap for Candace Owens; it didn't end well for the reporter.

Candace is so much smarter than a Times reporter that you knew right away this was going to be good. Candace didn’t disappoint.

The Other McCain - The Death of ‘Black Rabbit’ Crazy people are dangerous? 2 people are dead.

So now a deputy is dead, and “Black Rabbit” is likewise dead, because he flipped out when his credit card got declined at the mall.

Granite Grok - Bloomberg News on Inflation: Eat Lentils and Let Your Pets Die. I had to have something of Bloomberg's "Let them eat lentils" article.

Bloomberg says Americans should cope with soaring inflation by eating lentils instead of meat and saving on vet bills by letting their pets die. The article, headlined Inflation Stings Most If You Earn Less Than $300K.

enVolve - Durham Preparing To Produce MASSIVE Information Pile — 60,000 Documents — on Clinton-Tied, Russian Analyst Behind Steele Dossier

60,000 documents, a veritable treasure trove of information about the goings on behind the Steele dossier. Though Durham is saying he needs more time to produce all the documents

Again from The Other McCain - Russians Surrounded in ‘Bucha Pocket’?

Again, let me emphasize we must be cautious about this. However, there are estimates that about 15,000 Russian troops are in the “pocket” around Bucha, and these troops must receive tons of food, ammunition and other supplies every day in order to survive. If Ukrainian forces are able to threaten the Russian supply line, this could compel a Russian retreat from the suburbs of Kyiv or, otherwise, the “Falaise pocket” metaphor could become reality, and these Russians would find themselves surrounded and blasted into oblivion:
