Tuesday Links - 13 December

The Other McCain is up first with Crazy People Are Dangerous (and Keep Getting Shot by Cops in Detroit)

There’s a word for this, and that word is shakedown. It is a near-certainty that neither of these lawsuits will ever see the inside of a courtroom; instead, the city will negotiate a settlement with the plaintiffs, perhaps somewhere in the range of $2 million to $5 million per victim, and Feiger will collect his 50% commission, adding millions more to his multimillionaire status. Being a legal pest is quite a lucrative racket, but while a lawyer can grow rich from the proceeds of suing police departments — a direct transfer of wealth from taxpayers — the question needs to be asked whether this kind of “justice” actually does anything to improve law enforcement or the treatment of the mentally ill.

Granite Grok is up next with a report on ancient Greenland: The Global Warming Cult Just Took a Vicious Kick to the McNuggets

Fraudulent Michael-Mann Made Global Warming has only lasted this long because it is well-funded (by you through your government) and broadly advertised by State-Run media. It has almost nothing else going for it, and now it has even less.

Don Surber - We don't have a free press

If we had a free press, 30 reporters would never pose with Nancy Pelosi as if they were her ladies-in-waiting.

Again from The Other McCain - Florida ‘Predator’ Charged With Murder After Girl Dies From Fentanyl Overdose

There is a temptation, in discussing cases like the death of Meaghan Cooper, to use the adjective “tragic,” but that isn’t the right word. The proper adjective is stupid, as in: “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

Massad Ayoob has a CHRISTMAS GIFT SUGGESTION

Each of Ms. Lazarus’ novels focus on a strong woman who takes control of the serious problems that life brings her.  Sometimes with feminine wiles, sometimes with a judiciously applied Ruger in her hand, but always with common sense.

Flopping Aces - The reason that Twitter didn’t get rid of child exploitation may have been found

Most fascinating to me is the amount of vitriol directed at Elon Musk from the left for cleaning out the site. Oh, they call it fascism and like, but it makes me wonder just how pervasive the fascination with child porn was on the part of liberals.

And I am genuinely impressed with the group Gays Against Groomers. They’re doing a wonderful job of exposing child predators and the establishments that support those desiring to prey on children. It’s far more prevalent than you might think.

The Other McCain Again - The ‘Misinformation’ Crisis

Part of the secret of how the “crisis” tactic works is by stigmatizing skeptics: If you won’t endorse the “solution” the Left demands, then you are part of the problem. So when, for example, the Left claims that terrorism by “white supremacists” is a crisis, you will be labeled a racist — “RAAAAACIST!” — if you offer evidence that this claim is an absurd exaggeration. People don’t want to be called names, and so they won’t speak out, even if they suspect the “crisis” is fake.

Pirate's Cove - Your Fault: Golf May Not Survive The 21st Century

All because you refuse to recycle, go vegan, plant your own garden, handwash and line dry your clothes, and give up your autonomy and freedom to Government.
