87,000 ARMED IRS AGENTS walk into a bar ...

... and at an annual cost of $6.09B (that's right, billion) in salary, benefits, and ammunition, they're gonna run out of billionaires to audit pretty fast.

Be prepared.

WHOEVER IS MANUFACTURING STUPID PILLS FOR EDUCATORS MUST BE MAKING A FORTUNE: Philadelphia school district mandates masks for first 10 days of school year, pre-K must mask up all year.

AMMO GRRRLL HAS THOUGHTS: "[If] you aren’t a celebrity or a Democrat, just be careful. It’s gettin’ pretty real out there."

ISN'T THAT A GOOD THING FOR THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION? Washington Post claims Trump 'regularly intruding to steal the public spotlight' from Biden'.

“GO AHEAD MAYOR [ADAMS], make my day,”

POWERLINE'S JOHN HINDERAKER has some observations on the Mar-a-Lago raid, er 'search'.

His final observation sums it all up:

The Democrats crossed the Rubicon when they raided Donald Trump’s home. Never before in American history has anything like this happened. I think the consensus of the commentariat is correct: the Democrats had better have something really good up their sleeve, or the blowback will be intense.

Read it all.

RANDOM THOUGHT: Why is it that the 'final notices' that keep showing up in my email are never final?

NAH. Predictive text is smarter than that.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD REALIZE Twitter isn’t real life.

Oh, but it is for progressives....

ADD ME TO THE LIST: Here’s how many Americans regret taking the Covid vaccines.

I did learn fast enough to avoid the boosters, though.

UC BERKELEY PROTESTORS halt low-income housing construction to demand ... (wait for it) ... that construction cease displacing the homeless that have occupied the construction area.

UC Berkeley is an institution for the criminally insane. Lock it up and throw away the key.

GLORIOUS INFLATION NEWS: You're getting poorer (slightly) less quickly.

DARK BRANDON:

The lights are on, but nobody's home.

HUBRIS UNCHAINED: That flight FBI Director Christopher Wray told Senators he had to catch was for a vacation in the Adirondacks -- on his taxpayer-funded Gulfstream 550 private jet.

Nemesis awaits....

NOVEMBER 8 2022: the Dark Brandon rises.

TWO MONTHS IN and nary a hurricane....

But plenty of rain hereabouts, which is wreaking havoc on my plan to establish a lawn.

It feels like half my yard has been washed into the street...

THE PERFECT RESPONSE to 'woke' critics of 'The Terminal List'.

I haven't watched it yet, but it's now on the schedule.

SEEN ON TWITTER:

For Attorney General Merrick Garland....

BIDEN'S WEAPONIZED FEDS are getting creepier.

Everything that the Democrats are doing is rooted in a hatred of the United States Constitution. At least all the parts of it that don’t have to do with collecting taxes.

These kinds of things are precisely what right-wing nutjobs like me are warning against when we caution the Republicans to not give in to the Democrats on any issue. All of it aids and abets the progressive plunge into the toilet.

Let’s just hope there’s still enough of the Republic to save by the time 2024 gets here.

Latest case in point: Mar-a-Lago.

MERRICK GARLAND is a petty, vindictive, little man weasel.

Apologies to the furry ones....
