I got my Flu shot. My Doctor's office did not even suggest the other. But I would have refused anyway.

Maybe we should have "talked with other bankers"

More on the above. SHE’S JUST GOING AFTER THE CRIMINALS STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WON’T: Pirro Charges Two of ‘Big Balls’ Attackers, Including a Serial Criminal. Catherine Salgado U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has charged two of the young thugs whose attack on Edward “Big Balls” Coristine made headlines two months ago. Soon after two of the teens who mobbed Coristine in a robbery attempt received only probation from a woke judge, Pirro charged two other criminal teens with multiple crimes. One of these is Lawrence Cotton-Powell, a serial criminal repeatedly arrested and convicted on robbery charges this year but always released again by woke D.C. judges, despite requests to the contrary from Pirro’s office. Cotton-Powell not only viciously attacked Coristine, but participated in another robbery that same night when he nearly killed Ethan Levine. Both could have been avoided had the judges not favored Powell. https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2025/10/20/pirro-charges-two-of-big-balls-attackers-including-a-serial-criminal-n4945067 .

DR OZ BLOWS HOLE IN SCHUMER SHUTDOWN NARRATIVE: Mark Tapscott Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) repeats it over and over and over: It’s against the law for illegal immigrants to get federal healthcare and other benefits, so GOP charges that they are getting billions in such aid cannot be true. Well, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), dispatched investigators to get to the facts on this issue and their earliest results show more than $1 billion in confirmed Medicaid benefits going to illegals. Neither Schumer nor House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries responded to my request for comment on the Oz probe https://washingtonstand.com/article/senate-fails-for-12th-time-to-end-shutdown-as-both-sides-mum-on-oz-claim-of-1-billion-in-medicaid-to-illegals

‘No Kings’ crowds don’t want more democracy — they want LESS By Glenn Harlan Reynolds Trump isn't a king; he's a popularly elected president who won in something of a landslide, delivering exactly the policies that he promised the electorate Watching the “No Kings” protests, a friend commented: “Democracy dies when the other side wins. Another rule they wouldn’t want to have turned back on them.” That does seem to be the animating spirit not only of the various marches around the country, but of the entire anti-Trump resistance. President Donald Trump’s crime isn’t anything he’s said, or done, or even believed (which, all too often, anti-Trump protesters can’t cogently describe anyway). It’s that he won, and he represents the other team. His actions generally involve invoking various statutes acted into law by Congress over the past several decades. His enforcement of immigration laws and deportation of criminal aliens is very popular. His ending of DEI policies is also very popular. So is his slashing of federal payrolls, and his cuts to foreign aid. Then there are his cuts to federal regulations. And his support for law enforcement. In fact, Trump is a “king” — or “dictator,” as we’re often told — whose actual program seems to involve shrinking the government he heads. That’s not the usual thing for autocrats. Kings inherit their jobs; presidents are elected for a term. As Meghan McCain tweeted, “I don’t understand how Trump is a King when he won every single swing state, the electoral college and popular vote in a democratic election.” Legal scholar Ilya Shapiro responded, “No no he’s a king by dismantling an administrative state that <checks notes> nobody voted for.” That’s Trump’s real sin — carrying out the will of the voters. Democrats know their policies are unpopular. That’s why they have to lie about everything from immigration to affirmative action to gun control. Democrats represent the administrative/professional class: bureaucrats, educators, academics, media people and, of course, a huge gaggle of useless nonprofit and foundation and NGO flunkies. https://nypost.com/2025/10/20/opinion/no-kings-crowds-dont-want-more-democracy-they-want-less/

Democrat Senators Now Fear Fallout of 'No Kings' Absurdity By Ward Clark The "No Kings" weekend of absurdity has ended, and many of us are still pointing and laughing at videos of aging Boomer hippies and Gen Z nitwits, both of which groups are shrieking incoherently about "tyranny" when in a real tyranny they would not be allowed to shriek incoherently about "tyranny." A casual read through history reveals very clearly, after all, that real tyrants aren't really big on free speech. You can't expect any intellectual consistency from these people, after all. But now the raging of the nitwits has some Democrat Senators worried about holding the line in the ongoing Schumer Shutdown - worried, not about Republicans, not even about sane voters, but about their own far-left base. In that context, Democrats know they will get hit hard by a number of voices on the left if they do not get something for opening the government. “People are going to get hammered” if they vote for the House-passed bill to reopen the government and keep it funded through Nov. 21, said one Democratic senator who requested anonymity to talk candidly about their party. The schadenfreude, it is strong in this. When you dine at the Devil's table, you don't get to choose the menu, and Democrats have, as a party, embraced the nutcase left - now they face the consequences. https://redstate.com/wardclark/2025/10/20/dem-senators-now-fear-fallout-of-no-kings-absurdity-n2195270 .

"Democrats say the use of silly inflatable costumes is a way to undercut Republican portrayals of such events as violent 'hate America rallies.'" The Washington Post sets out to answer the question "Why protesters against Trump are wearing frog, chicken and T. rex costumes." If you feel you need to put on a costume to disguise what you are, doesn't that suggest that you are the scary thing you're trying to cover up? I think of the wolf in sheep's clothing. The image of wolf in sheep's clothing comes from in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus said: "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." From the WaPo article: https://althouse.blogspot.com/2025/10/democrats-say-use-of-silly-inflatable.html#more https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/10/19/inflatable-costumes-trump-protests/?
