Hello Screamers! Hope your weekend is going well! While “catching up” on stuff I missed having my head buried in the FOIA files, I ran across this gem of a video and had to share. It sure is nice to see a little bit of mask pushback from CNN’s Michael Smerconish against Fauci, but it really comes 3 ½ years too late:
You might be wondering why Fauci is on TV in the first place, but (as usual) Babylon Bee nailed it a few days ago:
To check in on an article that aged well (at predicting the future, badly for what it means), today we also update the story of the Proud Boys awaiting sentencing for their actions before and during January 6th, 2021. (Original article below:)
As expected, government went “all-in”, using terrorism charges to tack on additional time to sentences, resulting in 17 years for Joseph Biggs and 15 years for Zachary Rehl. Remember when the left was warning the USA PATRIOT Act would be used against dissenting citizens instead of cheering it on? (2006 was crazy, man!)
Proud Boys national chairman Enrique Tarrio is scheduled to be sentenced later this week — he was convicted even though he wasn’t even in Washington DC on January 6th. I have little doubt he’ll receive a sentence similar to Biggs and Rehl.
Fun Fact: Ray Epps remains free.
That said, there’s no doubt that January 6th got out of hand:
Sorry, that’s footage of the Summer of Love protests before the 2020 election. No terrorism charges there. Almost like there’s two sets of rules………
Finally, over the weekend I was verbally harassed for my negligence about updating the East Palestine story. (OK, actually a friend just casually mentioned in conversation he hadn’t heard anything about it.) You probably remember that on February 3rd, the town was the site of a terrible train derailment followed by a (terrible?) decision two days later to set ablaze the resulting spilled chemicals. Trump visited, Mayor Pete visited, then the story sort of disappeared.
When I had some free time, I went hunting and found this great article from the New York Times about the situation. (Yeah, I couldn’t believe it, either!)
To sum up the article (sorry, it’s behind a paywall): People are getting sick, officials are denying there’s a problem though private testing shows otherwise, and broke residents are stuck moving back into their homes. Meanwhile, more-recent disasters in Maui and Florida are sucking up governments ability to help, and the people who live in the town feel abandoned. (Shocker, I know!)
Coincidentally, the issue may have a little bit of life after Joe Biden was asked about visiting East Palestine the way he was visiting Florida:
“There’s a lot going on here and I haven’t been able to break.”
Joe Biden during August:
So much going on.
Help me out, Screamers! What else did I miss over the last couple days?

SC - Exclusive word soup excerpt... Biden: East Palestine? Well, never mind the Hamas, would you like to share a hummus platter? Chick-peas, can't wait for my 5th booster, Yas-ser...
As always, you entertain and educate us, Commander. The Babylon Bee video was hilarious. It was great to see that the socially conscious Dumbos at Disney have replaced the dwarves from the timeless fairy tale with homeless bums digs into our consciousness and reminds us that, without the grace of God and common sense, we all might become smelly wretches living in cardboard boxes and struggling to afford heroin. It was touching to see a midget among the gaggle of freaks and losers.
We are likely to see a resurgence of midgets in movies as we stumble towards the next presidential election. (Spoiler Alert) A midget saved Indiana Jones in that new movie.
We can expect to see more such heroics as we unconsciously confuse the Biden cabinet and military leaders with the Lollipop Kids of the Wizard of Oz. And the reappearance of the midget terrorist Anthony Fauci could not come at a more opportune time.
Your mention of the forgotten victims of East Palestine disaster (coupled with the photo of the Commander-in-Chief sleeping on the beach) was timely.
Simulation Commander, like Bob Dylan in the sixties, you have tapped into the zeitgeist of the alt-nation and we hope you have a pleasant Labor Day.
