Once again, in 1960 Detroit was the wealthiest city in the world, with more millionaires than New York City.

Detroit, Michigan or Donbas, Ukraine? It's not like we know how to destroy a major US city.

The fucking idiots in Portland, Seattle and, perhaps, Spokane will (with taxpayer money) buy all these soon-to-be-vacant commercial buildings and turn them into drug dens low barrier shelters.

Because that's the compassionate thing to do for meth and heroin addicts.

That's the old Packard Plant in Detroit.

How can you tell? Not really, but that's what dems can do to a city filled with rats.

I’ve seen this image on a show highlighting the decline of Detroit. You can Google the Packard plant and see this image. It was state of the art for its time.

That's so crazy to imagine as a millennial.

Then again like 80 percent of people I grew up with in Phoenix had parents from Michigan including me

Cleveland also had the most millionaires before that

Gilded age mansions available for pennies on the dollar

Gotta go where the jobs are bro. Fortunately they happen to now be in places that don't have shit winters and do have hot chicks. So that's nice

You don't want your child to be able to enjoy one of the blessings of liberty? You monster.

Good discussion at Ace's blog. I didn't realize that Matt's harangue actually had something important, which of course was ignored by the MSM. If you want to red flag someone, you need skin in the game for filing a false claim. Of course, the dems live on fraud and perjury and they have no interest in whether the red flag claim is true or not or who pays to get their guns back.

One thing that Matthew McConnauhey mentioned in that overly-praised speech at the White House about red flag laws -- which the media has not seen fit to repeat -- was that we needed prosecution for "abuse of red flag laws," in order to keep the red flag law credible and not just a tool of harassment and abuse.

He mentioned red flag laws and prosecutions for abuse of red flag laws as a package deal. You can't have one without the other.

No one seems to want to have any interest in charging those who perjure themselves to deprive others of their civil rights, though.

So: Pass.

Senate conservatives, which apparently do exist, are pushing back against slender-shouldered gentry liberal John Cornyn and the Democrat Wing of the Republican Caucus, reports Axios:

Frustration inside the Senate GOP conference is boiling among conservatives at the way Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) is handling the bipartisan gun reform negotiations -- putting the man who aspires to succeed Mitch McConnell as Republican leader in a political jam.

Why it matters: Some senators are viewing these negotiations as a test case for how Cornyn would fare as lead negotiator for the party should he replace McConnell one day.

Driving the news: Multiple sources with direct knowledge say the GOP senators who are uneasy about the negotiations include Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), among others.

...

Between the lines: Several senators feel they've been shut out of the negotiating process and kept in the dark about crucial details, and will be asked to take a politically tough vote without enough time to digest the bill.

One GOP senator, speaking to Axios on the condition of anonymity to be candid about his concerns, branded Cornyn's approach: "Shut up, and vote."

"There's considerable unhappiness in the conference that we seem to be approaching a bill that will unite all the Democrats and divide the Republicans," said another senior Republican with direct knowledge of the internal talks.

The senior Republican mentioned that Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) asked Cornyn during one lunch, "Are we focusing on gang violence and inner-city murders? And the response was, 'No, we're not focusing on that' ... And more than a few of us wondered why the hell not?"

"It would be prudent, and I think Sen. Cornyn knows this ... it would be prudent to give senators plenty of time to read the bill and research the issues," Kennedy told Axios.

Schumer -- and Cornyn -- want to rush the vote as quickly as possible, allowing for no research, debate, or consideration.

And, as you all know, anyone who rushes you into a decision with long-term irreversible consequences while emotionally bullying you and telling you not to research the facts or examine the legal language is, of course, someone with your very best interests at heart.

The "DECIDE NOW WITHOUT ANY FACTS!" cancel campaigns on Twitter should have taught us that much.

Phucking Germans. You sign on to provide Ukraine with billions of dollars to kill Russians and then you get verklempt that they are going to shut off your natural gas which Trump told you not to rely on.

As I pointed out yesterday, Russia has cut the supply of natural gas to Germany by about 60% in just a few days. The official reason for this is a technical problem exacerbated by sanctions. Specifically, a turbine used to compress natural gas into a pipeline to Germany was scheduled for repair. The turbine could only be repaired at a special facility located in Canada. But a problem arose because Canada has sanctions in place against the Russia’s state-owned gas company Gazprom. So once the turbine arrived in Canada there was no way to return it Russia.


The claims about the turbine and the sanctions are true but Germany’s Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck clearly didn’t buy the whole story. He said the repairs on the pipeline weren’t scheduled to take place until this fall. “So I also have the impression that what happened yesterday is a political decision, and not a decision that is technically justifiable,” he said.

The demand for gas is relatively low in Germany right now because it’s mostly used for heating in the winter and, this week, there happens to be a heat wave moving in. The main concern was refilling it’s reserve capacity prior to winter when millions of homes will depend on it. Today, Habeck called on Germans to conserve gas to help ensure they have enough for winter.
