The Wuhan Bat Lab Virus has allowed for naked exposure of what animates individuals in our Ruling Class and their apparatchiks. New day, new facepalm.
Bad enough that Federal funds went to states to update their unemployment computer systems but wasn’t used — in 2009! — then as the CARE funds came online, we found out that many states were woefully unable to handle the requests (hey, anyone still coding in Fortran?). California has decided to now rub salt into these wounds. Keep in mind that Newsom’s AB5 law banned independent contractors in California:
Two weeks ago, KCRA 3 spoke with unemployment applicants who said the call center was answered by people in other states. One even said the person on the phone didn’t know how California’s unemployment payments were made.
Now, records obtained by KCRA 3 show that EDD agreed to pay more than $11 million to Deloitte Consulting to hire those employees. The contract started in April and goes through June.
Deloitte is supposed to supply 500 call center employees, allowing them to be independent contractors or subcontractors.
California’s unemployment rate is officially 16.1% using data from April. Isn’t this special?

Meanwhile, while Lightfoot’s LEOs were surrounding dangerous Bible-bearers, 10 people were killed/42 injured by shooters in one of the deadliest Memorial Weekends since 2015.
Lightfoot isn’t the only Democrat that doesn’t like the President upholding the First Amendment.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz told reporters this weekend it is not clear that worship constitutes something essential, challenging President Trump’s assertion it is.
“I think the case that the president is making and that may be up for debate in this country of deeming houses of worship essential, essential services and that’s one that we take into consideration,” the Democrat governor said during an hour-long briefing on opening up religious services during the coronavirus lockdown.
We’re now back into bitter-clinger territory where our Woke Betters have decided they are no longer satisfied with mocking religious beliefs but actively looking to suppress them as long as possible. And if you object? You hate life.
Christian fundamentalism is often fatalistic. As far as many evangelicals are concerned, life passes quickly, suffering is temporary and worrying solves nothing. That’s not a view that comports well with long stretches of earthly time spent waiting out business closures or stay-at-home orders. It should be no surprise that a person’s deepest beliefs about the world influence how they measure the risks they’re willing to take.
Harvard Professor Steven Pinker decided to double-down on Gary Abernathy’s bigotry with this tweet (later deleted)
Whoa, that’s some ratio there! Anyone want to bet that Pinker and Abernathy have ever met, let alone sat down and had an extended conversation with, any observant Jew or Christian? It’s Gorillas-In-The-Mist all the way down with militant secularists.
Vote Joe anyway.
“I do believe Reade,” said Omar. “Justice can be delayed, but should never be denied.”
Yep, we’ve moved from just trying to shutdown any attention to Tara Reade’s allegations to, “Hey, whatever.”
Believing survivors is consistent with my values. Yes, I endorsed against Biden and I didn’t pick him as our nominee. With that said, in this interview I did on May 6th, we talked about that and quotes aren’t always in context. I will vote for him and help him defeat Trump.

Deja vu this exercise in forehead-slapping.
I don’t know about you, but my forehead begging for some relief. Until next time (and you know there will be a next time. The Left can’t help itself.)

Skillyboo says: I cannot remember when this country has been this divided. Maybe in the late 60’s and 70’s with the ghetto riots but this feels so different. And it has all happened in a generation. Thanks Obama?
It ( the country) was pretty divided over the war in Vietnam, but then it was us hippies vs. the conservative establishment. Now us old hippies kind of are the conservative establishment, and against the government, which is now radical left, if not communist. What goes around comes around, but different!
Scott says: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, {or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;} or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Seems maybe governor Walz needs to read up on the Constitution a bit… luckily for him, he doesn’t need to go any further than the First Amendment to see that his statement is bullshit…
Scott says: Dang, tried to put the relevant portion in italics, but still can’t get it right..
GWB says: Put this before: <em>
Put this after: </em>
Do the same thing for bold (‘strong’) and block quotes (‘blockquote’). You can also nest them.
Just remember to check and make sure you closed your tags, so your entire comment doesn’t end up bolded or italicized.
Scott says: hanks GWB, I thought you might show up to set me straight. I appreciate it.
rbj1 says: Plymouth was founded for religious reasons. Pennsylvania as a colony was founded for the Quakers and Maryland for the Catholics.
Religious freedom is part of our DNA
