Hi, Beasts! JOM Legacy is still chugging along, thanks to a number of stalwarts--and a bunch of folk are at JOM2, so touch base here and there, when you can! I am myself generally pretty remiss, admittedly...

Nellie Bowles has a new gig at Bari Weiss' Substack and I have some thoughts

"So it’s a bit of a surprise to find Bowles now writing for Weiss. And I noticed quite a few of her commenters were surprised as well. Several had not very nice things to say about her Jordan Peterson hit piece and a few asked if she’d like to revisit that at some point. If Bowles responded I didn’t see it.

But of course as I’m thinking about all of this it occurs to me that the very worst thing you can do to someone who has had a genuine change of heart is tell them they aren’t welcome because you don’t like something they said 3 1/2 years ago. In fact, that’s exactly what the left does to everyone."

Did Gaigie Grosscreep RAISE HIS RIGHT HAND to take the oath, before testifying?

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EgXj2vsVoAA2617?format=jpg&name=900x900

He was a foot from Rittenhouse's face, with a 9MM GLOCK in his errrrrrrrr RIGHT HAND. When he found that RITTENHOUSE wasn't playing he tried to back away. He pointed the GAT at RITTENHOUSE. HE TESTIFIED to this. BEEEEEEG MISTAKE.
Rittenhouse did what any normal person should do.
He shot the threat and blew a large chunk of his arm off. Yet in my picture, you'll notice the GLOCK is still in GrossCreeps right hand.
Rittenhouse had every right to blow his fucking head off.

New Jersey’s most powerful Democratic boss predicts midterm carnage

George Norcross says nobody in the state predicted last week’s losses for the party. “It was just a tsunami,” he said. “Nobody saw this coming.”

"According to Norcross, Democrats need to change voter perceptions fast if they want to preserve their majority in the House of Representatives. As many as four or five Democratic members of New Jersey’s House delegation will run into challenges with redistricting and reelection “if this mood maintains itself,” he said. “That’s trouble.”

George Norcross is an interesting and practical man who over the years managed to pull power away from older political machines, like Hudson County, and vest it in the southern part of the state.

His man Sweeny losing the NJ Senate President slot is a real blow to him.

A much more liberal NJ Senate Majority Leader, Loretta Weinberg, retired at the end of her term and was replaced in this election.

So the democrats lost their top two people in the Senate. Another democrat took Weinberg's seat, but the top two people will be newly determined with the typical bruising NJ political infighting. These people have long memories.

Toss in a couple of lost Assembly seats and whatever next year's census redistricting was expected to be will probably get more tinkering with these unexpected results.

10 years ago they maximized the number of democrat US representatives the state could produce with the redistricting. And even then two sitting democrat Representatives decided to run against each other in the same district.

Next year could be interesting. They may inadvertently create some new swing districts.

[GUS]

Hello Jim nj. I just read that very story.
My first thought was.....WHAT is George Norcoss's angle. Why the mea culpa or the admission.
DEMOCRATS do not do that.
It's like when a vendor asks you to MATCH A PRICE that they want to pay for a product. VS. An un-named competitor. If vendor can REALLY do better than what you offer, why is he asking you to match something.
My experience in politics, has my BULL SHIT DETECTOR hot and smoking. The LEFT always has several schemes at the ready. You know, like the FEINSTEIN-BALLSEY-FRAUD, after the hearings were over GANG RAPE STORY.
When you've knocked out your rival or attacker, do not hug/kiss the lovely female you've just saved. FINISH OFF THE DIRT BAG.

[jim nj]

Hey Gus,

Norcross isn't a typical liberal NJ political boss. Southern NJ is more conservative than northern NJ and it fought for years against northern domination.

Almost like the Mason-Dixon line ran through the middle of NJ. At least it felt like that when I was younger.

So Norcross built a machine to bring more power their way and Biden and Murphy just managed to gut what he spent years building.

Norcross doesn't have an angle here, other than to remind other democrat NJ bosses that, hey, I really am smarter than you are.

[GUS]

Thank you Jim nj. You certainly realize that I respect you immensely, and I am not a NJ dude.
(my libtard older bro was born in Camden).
My bullshit detector is not to impune Norcross, it just doesn't add up.
Btw. I was born one mile South of the MASON-DIXON line in HAGERSTOWN MD.
Anyway, I am enjoying this. Sweeney sucks, and Norcross may be old school honest.

Don’t be surprised if jury accepts Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse’s self-defense claim

It’s hard — without resorting to the use of a profanity referring to a bodily orifice — to describe most of the people involved in this case.

He treats Rittenhouse like some treat Trump.

Like if he wasn't there this wouldn't have happened.

"Rittenhouse had absolutely no legitimate reason to be there that night, and I believe he deserves serious punishment.

Yet Rittenhouse’s folly also turns out to be the basis for his defense: His fear of someone taking his gun becomes justification for him pulling the trigger.

Rittenhouse is such an idiot he never even suspected he was in over his head until it was too late.

In fact, until the moment he shot Joseph Rosenbaum, that August night probably felt like the greatest of Rittenhouse’s life as he played the hero, toting around his big gun and his first aid kit, pretending he was a “medic” who was only there to help — parroting the first responder motto: “If there’s somebody hurt, I’m running into harm’s way.”

That's just too facile.

[jim nj]

Rosenbaum, apparently hospitalized for suicidal ideation, got let out too early, and got his wish.

Suicide by cop by proxy.

Jim, RITTENHOUSE came to KENOSHA in the midst of a 3 day ARSON/BURNING/LOOTING/ATTACKING/ANTIFA/NEGRO LIVES MATTER....free for all.
WHO ON THE LEFT, THE DEMOCRAP LEFT, SOUGHT PEACE???
The JACOB BLAKE SHOOTING was just another SUMMER OF FREE FOR ALL DEMOCRAP EXCUSE.
Jacob Blake was FILMED disobeying lawful orders as the KENOSHA POLICE SERVED A WARRANT. JACOB BLAKE, a previously violent criminal DID NOT COMPLY WITH THE POLICE as they served a warrant.
In the end, JACOB BLAKE, put his new girlfriend and CHILDREN already in the van, in EXTREME DANGER. As BLAKE REACHED into the front seat of the VAN, with the KENOSHA OFFICER at extreme peril, BLAKE REACHED FOR A KNIFE.
THE COP HAD NOT CHOICE. BLAKE LIVED.
FACTS DON'T MATTER TO THE WOKE, THE BLACK nor THE COMMIES.

So, Kyle had no good reason to be there, btu the looters and rioters did? Actually, he was in the same decent mold as the Korean shopkeepers and their friends in the LA riots and Americans forever--defending order.

Melinda,

I read the Victor Davis Hanson piece and it's quite good. It connects the dots on a wide variety of incidents we have noted here to the voter anger, which Bannon has noted with working-class Hispanics and black males.

This is information released (supposedly) by the Pentagon.

1. Is this disinformation?

2. Is this an attempt to get more money to the Navy?

3. Who decided to christen the Chinese Navy with the acronym PLAN (People's Liberation Army Navy)? The Chinese wouldn't use that English acronym. I note that "Trust the plan" was often used in the Q postings. Why isn't this named something more in line with Chinese culture and language?

[henry]

Clarice, the cities of Racine and Kenosha both turned over their elections management to Zuck’s cash for Dem votes scam (along with Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Janesville).
