Report: Woman Put Severed Chicken Heads in Boyfriend’s Bed
The Livingston Enterprise | Feb 14, 2024

Awwwwww … a Valentine’s Day story. How sweet.

A 34-year-old Billings woman accused of leaving chicken heads on her then-boyfriend’s bed, trashing his apartment, and vandalizing his car, faces potential jail time …

The key word is “then.”

“[The boyfriend] was only at the home a short time before he left during the verbal argument as he was concerned it would escalate out of control, especially after the damage that was done to his property and the chicken heads left on his bed.”

Excellent call.

A sheriff’s deputy responded to the home about two hours after the boyfriend’s report and observed smashed-up furniture in the yard and a car with its windshield smashed and at least two flat tires. Some of the furniture in the apartment also appeared to have been moved around, . . .

Oh, no!

. . . and there were chicken feathers throughout the house, according to the affidavit. 

Well, I’m Not

Columnist Howie Carr Listens to Fifth-Columnist Joe Biden So You Don’t Have To

Howie Carr – The ‘putality’ of Biden’s mind: More greatest hits from the Weekend at Brandon’s chronicles
Boston Herald | February 17, 2024 | Howie Carr

All dialogue guaranteed verbatim.

That is my guarantee to you, the readers, whenever I present Dementia Joe Biden’s unedited, unexpurgated remarks for your edification.

Let’s begin this chapter of the Weekend at Brandon’s chronicles with some of his more recent comments.

On Friday, he denounced the death of Russian dissident Alexei Navalny.

“What has happened to Navalny is yet more proof of Putin’s putality.”

May we quote you on that, Mr. President?

Speaking of foreign affairs, on Monday he met with King Abdullah of Jordan.

“He’s been a good friend, King Abdul, welcome back to the White House.”

Then he introduced the wife of his good friend whose name he couldn’t recall, King “Abdul.” He called the queen Rhianna. Her name is Raina.

Then Biden spoke movingly of the current Mideast war.

“It’s heartbreaking. Every life in Gaza is a tragedy.”

This was the day after the Super Bowl, during which Biden’s care-givers released his 40 second screed on “greedflation,” because he’s very angry about the price of Snickers bars, or something. …

Did you see that article about the Snickers bar? Well it’s gonna stop! America, we’re tired of being played for suckers!”

A few days later, he elaborated:

“It’s about what happens with Snickers bars! You know that candy? Well, they haven’t raised the price of a Snickers bar, they just took 10 percent out of it!”

(“That’s supposed to be my job!”)

Here are some more of Biden’s recent Greatest Hits:

“Chris Coons who by the way he not only got a law degree at the same time he got a law degree he got a divinity degree at Yale University.”

“That cannot pertain!”

“Automobiles today require 3,000 chips of these chips to be made.”

“To date 4,000 infrastructure problems have been uh projects have been announced all across America.”

“Before the pandemic there were 750 48 roughly 750 billionaires in America.”

“By the way I make no apologize no apologies for being the most pro-union president in American history.”

“Growth is strong. Rages are wages are rising.”

“To all to all the county electrical workers in America election workers thank you.”

On Friday, after denouncing the “putality” of Putin, he finally made it to East Palestine, Ohio. During a heart-felt six-minute address, he promised “more staffing” on trains to prevent any future derailments.

Addition to the Motor Pool

Cool! IMAO just acquired Bush’s speedboat!

Former President George H.W. Bush’s speedboat wins $435,000 at Library benefit auction
Fox News | 02/20/2024

Former President George H.W. Bush’s speedboat has a new owner.

Misinformation

“All pigs have antlers.”

If I post this opinion, there are media companies and even government bureaucrats who assume they should both have and use the power to censor the post. But why?

First: the opinion which it is attempted to suppress by authority may possibly be true. Those who desire to suppress it, of course deny its truth; but they are not infallible. They have no authority to decide the question for all mankind, and exclude every other person from the means of judging. To refuse a hearing to an opinion, because they are sure that it is false, is to assume that their certainty is the same thing as absolute certainty. All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility.

— John Stuart Mill, On Liberty

Second, why banish erroneous opinions from view and from discussion? Isn’t it best to refute them, to prevent them from recurring?

Third, the media themselves routinely publish things that are later discovered to be completely false. What is to be their punishment?

Susan Wojcicki was the Youtube CEO from 2014 to 2023. She resigned the day after the House GOP issued subpoenas for Big Tech CEOs at Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft. …

Under Wojcicki’s leadership, she urged more governments to enact speech laws to crack down on ‘unapproved’ online speech. …

In April 2020, Wojcicki announced that anything said about COVID that contradicted the WHO talking points would be taken down. Now we know that the WHO, like the CDC, was lying all along.
