Biden Labor Board Invalidates Workers’ Vote to Reject Union

22nd April 2021

Read it.

The National Labor Relations Board overruled hundreds of Delaware poultry workers who had voted to reject union leadership. The agency said in a 3-1 ruling released Wednesday that a provision prohibiting workers from leaving a union for a set time period after a contract is signed allowed the board to ignore the workers’ March 2020 vote. The decision reversed a regional NLRB director who had initially ruled in the workers’ favor.

One Attorney’s Opinion re the Chauvin Verdict

22nd April 2021

Read it.

A mistrial occurs when 1) a jury is unable to reach a verdict and there must be a new trial with a new jury; 2) there is a serious procedural error or misconduct that would result in an unfair trial, and the judge adjourns the case without a decision on the merits and awards a new trial. See, e.g. Williamson v. United States, 512 U.S. 594 (1994).

In this case, serious error included a failure to sequester jury, leaving the jurors open to influence and intimidation, including, apparently, mob agitation by a sitting federal Congresswoman.

Noteworthy is that jury deliberation covered three days of evidence in a day, without asking the judge for instructions. Unlikely that any adequate deliberation took place is such a hasty time frame.

From the Bizarre Twin Cities Hellworld

20th April 2021

Read it.

At the heart of the bizarre Twin Cities hellworld is Minnesota Governor Tim “tear down this” Walz. Today Tim is tearful. He called a press conference this afternoon to display his emotions and offer his characteristic deference to the mob throwing its weight around in the Twin Cities.

Walz mouths the obligatory platitudes about “systemic racism.” He asserts that Daunte Wright died “for a simple traffic violation.” He even calls this a “simple truth,” even though it is a blatant lie. He yammers on at painful length in his characteristic Joe Isuzu style demanding that citizens defer to the demands of the mob.

The Forever Maskers

20th April 2021

Read it.

Robin Argenti cannot yet envision a future in which she doesn’t wear a mask. “We don’t know if it is going to ever be over,” the 57-year-old resident of upstate New York said of the pandemic. She’s in poor health, and concerned that with the emergence of new variants and the “millions of people who refuse to get vaccinated,” the country will never actually overcome the coronavirus. “I will be masked up for many, many years,” she said. “There are too many unknowns.”

As more and more Americans get vaccinated, the end of the pandemic feels palpable. Most people probably cannot wait to cut out the social distancing and take their masks off. I can’t wait for the day when I can walk down the street and look at a sea of strangers’ naked faces. But there are some people like Argenti who say they plan to make mask-wearing a part of daily life, even after the authorities give the thumbs-up to bare your entire face.

Immigration and the Essential Cravenness of Joe Biden

18th April 2021

Read it.

Nothing so surely signals the essential emptiness of Joe Biden than his rapid flip-flop Friday on raising the cap on the number of asylum seekers the United States will accept. At first the Biden Administration announced that they would not lift the relatively low cap that Trump had adopted, but following “outcry” from “Progressives,” Biden did a pirouette worthy of Bolshie ballerina and said he’d now lift the cap. One reason Biden had held the line, however briefly, on the asylum cap is that he’s polling terribly on immigration. But all it took was a gust of hot wind from “Progressives” to make him retreat.

‘There Is No Morale’: Nineteen Officers Resign From Emergency Response Team After Protest

17th April 2021

Nineteen police officers in Albuquerque, New Mexico, quit the police department’s specialized protest team after an officer was put on leave following a protest.

“They don’t feel supported here, and they don’t feel trust. They feel second-guessed, and they don’t feel that they can do their job, no matter how perfect they do their job, without getting in trouble,” Shaun Willoughby, the president of the Albuquerque Police Officers’ Association, told KOB4.

Why Has Nuclear Power Been A Flop?

17th April 2021

Read it.

BLUF: Government regulation.

Excessive concern about low levels of radiation led to a regulatory standard known as ALARA: As Low As Reasonably Achievable. What defines “reasonable”? It is an ever-tightening standard. As long as the costs of nuclear plant construction and operation are in the ballpark of other modes of power, then they are reasonable.

This might seem like a sensible approach, until you realize that it eliminates, by definition, any chance for nuclear power to be cheaper than its competition. Nuclear can‘t even innovate its way out of this predicament: under ALARA, any technology, any operational improvement, anything that reduces costs, simply gives the regulator more room and more excuse to push for more stringent safety requirements, until the cost once again rises to make nuclear just a bit more expensive than everything else. Actually, it‘s worse than that: it essentially says that if nuclear becomes cheap, then the regulators have not done their job.

Biden’s Fabled Bipartisanship

16th April 2021

Read it.

I haven’t seen much humor in life during the past year or so, but one thing that has been uproariously hilarious lately is the orchestrated media narrative that President Joe Biden is bipartisan and conciliatory. Please give me a moment to catch my breath.

I think it was Karl Rove who recently observed that the media’s effective definition of bipartisan legislation is not that significant numbers of both parties’ lawmakers support a bill but that some poll somewhere shows that a large percentage of Americans of each party support some vaguely described initiative, even if zero Republican legislators support the actual bill. You can frame a poll question to get the result you want.

Biden’s UN Flambassador

16th April 2021

Read it.

The US federal government may very well be the most complex human undertaking in existence, an immortal leviathan with millions of moving parts and thousands of distinct job titles.

Or that’s what it was, anyway. Now, America’s federal workers and appointees, from the lowliest to the mightiest, appear to have but one shared job: fighting racism, sexism, and the other evil -isms, and condemning the country that overpays them. The Joint Chiefs of Staff are now the Joint Chiefs of Women’s Empowerment. The HUD Secretary is Secretary of Reminding You That Redlining Happened 60 Years Ago.

And then we have President Biden’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield. On Wednesday, Thomas-Greenfield spoke to the National Action Network, Al Sharpton’s organization for transmuting activist energy into money. In her address, Thomas-Greenfield indicated that she would much rather be ambassador to your local middle school’s anti-racism presentation in the auditorium.

Keeping the Highway Trust Fund Solvent

15th April 2021

Read it.

When Congress agreed to finance the Interstate Highway System in 1956 by dedicating taxes on gasoline, tires, autos, and trucks to a Highway Trust Fund, it also adopted a policy of not spending more from the fund that was actually collected in highway fees into that fund. This delayed completion of the interstate highways because inflation increased costs without increasing gas taxes and other revenues, but it ensured that the fund remained solvent.

…

That is no longer the case, and today Congress spends about $14 billion more per year out of the fund than it collects in highway user fees. Yesterday, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee held a hearing on the “long-term solvency of the highway trust fund.” Most of the witnesses at the hearing spoke about problems with gasoline taxes and why they should be replaced with mileage-based user fees.

That’s all well and good, but everyone seems to have lost sight of why the trust fund is insolvent. It isn’t, as asserted by one of the speakers (whose testimony was otherwise fine), because of “revenue shortfalls.” Instead, it was because of Congressional overspending.

Kristen Clarke Lies Under Oath About Defunding The Police

15th April 2021

Read it.

Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony from Kristen Clarke, Joe Biden’s nominee to head the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. Clarke appeared along with Todd Kim, the nominee to head the Environment and Natural Resources Division. This meant a pretty easy time for Kim.

Clarke, by contrast, came under heavy fire. She tried to deflect it through a combination of lies and nonsense.

Consider her exchange with Sen. Ted Cruz. In June 2020, Clarke wrote an article for Newsweek called “I Prosecuted Police Killings. Defund the Police — But Be Strategic.” So Cruz asked Clarke whether she still favors defunding the police.

Clarke responded that she doesn’t support defunding the police, and that she wrote the Newsweek article to make it clear that she does not support defunding the police (she later made clear that she equates “defunding” the police with investing fewer resources in the police). Clarke blamed the title of the article, which called expressly for defunding the police, on Newsweek.

The Revolving Door Is Only Spinning Left Now

12th April 2021

Read it.

The “revolving door” has been around for hundreds of years.

I’m not talking about the literal one used to enter a fancy hotel – that came later – but rather, the migration of workers from the private sector to public sector and back, for the purpose of using government-made connections to serve personal financial interests. This migration traditionally happens en masse during presidential transitions, as public servants from each party trade places.

Local Officials Fence Off Restaurant for Defying Lockdown Orders, Fine Them $50,000

12th April 2021

Read it.

A California city erected a chain-link fence on Saturday around a local restaurant that refuses to obey COVID-19 restrictions, according to reports.

Tinhorn Flats Saloon & Grill in Burbank was barricaded off from the public to prevent the owners from operating after a court ordered the electricity to be shut off, according to NBC Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell L. Beckloff issued a preliminary injunction Friday which allowed the city to prevent the restaurant from opening without a county health permit and a city conditional use permit, the Los Angeles Times reported.
