House can act fast when it wants to.

Rather, is told to.

NBC News: U.S. House votes to sanction international court over warrants for Netanyahu and other Israeli officials.

The House voted Tuesday to impose sanctions against the International Criminal Court for its move to issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials for war crimes in the nation's war against Hamas.

The vote was 247-155, with nearly every Republican and a few dozen Democrats voting for it. Two Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Warren Davidson of Ohio, voted present.

Wow. Talk about fast-acting! 

"Oy! Help us war criminals avoid ICC arrest!"

RINOs and UniParty reply in unison: "Say no more."

Ukraine and Israel say gimme money now! SNAP! House ensures they get it. Senate passes it within days. 

Ban TikTok! SNAP! "Say no more, Master!" House and Senate coalesce in no time flat.


Meanwhile, in America



Some Americans, devastated by these disasters, are ineligible for Federal Assistance from flooding and tornadoes? Others have to apply? Why? DC rains money down on Ukraine and Israel - they don't have to apply, they just demand it - so why aren't U.S. states a priority and treated the same? Follow the money. Following the money is never the wrong answer.

Massie easily won his race against the AIPAC sponsored opponent, whose campaign failed miserably.

New Arab: AIPAC lose bet in Kentucky primary race against Republican critical of Israel.

"After spending $400k+ smearing me, and watching me get 75%+ in the race tonight, they claim they weren't playing in the race. They deserve the ratio here," Massie wrote in another post, in which he shared the lobby group's statement that they were not playing in his race.

Good for Massie.

I'm hoping Americans affected by the excessive heat, fires, flooding and tornadoes aren't planning on voting Democrat this year. How can you?

Alvin's in Kentucky: Those wearing masks Shall Not Pass!


A Kentucky convenience store told customers to take off their face masks or “go somewhere else” — but later did an about-face when called out for the controversial message.

A photo of the sign outside Alvin’s in Manchester was shared Monday on Facebook by a man who said he wanted to “spread their shame” by publicizing the business’ call to flout Gov. Andy Beshear’s mask guidance, intended to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the Lexington Herald-Leader reports.

No face masks allowed in store,” the pink sign read. “Lower your mask or go somewhere else! Stop listening to Beshear. He’s a dumbass.”

Instead, the shopper’s post — which was shared more than 3,800 times — prompted some Facebook users to call him a “snitch,” and others said they saw the sign as a “patriotic statement.”

“If I didn’t live so far away, I would do all my shopping here,” another man wrote. “Finally somebody with same dang common sense.”

The store, however, later changed its message, saying it would not turn away customers who are wearing face coverings.

“We are not telling you to not wear a mask,” Alvin’s wrote Tuesday on Facebook. “What we are saying is, [it’s] your choice to wear one or not, not our [government’s] choice for us. While some got the meaning behind it, [a lot] did not.”

The sign was not intended to “offend anyone,” according to Tuesday’s post.
[.]
The sign, meanwhile, has led some to consider making a 60-minute drive just to pick up lunch there.

DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING,” one reply read. “We are planning a road trip just to eat at your place.
Welcome to The Micro-Offended, Can't Take a Joke, Snitch Culture brought to you by a virus that allegedly originated in China. Anyone else looking forward to a future where hilarity ensues when the snitchers are snitched on?

Kentucky government will host first "Muslim Day" at state capitol on January 22.


Muslims from all over Kentucky will tour the building on January 22, meet with legislators, pray in the Rotunda, and receive training on how to advocate for issues affecting the Muslim community.
[.]
Waheeda Muhammad, chair of the Kentucky chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations, said one of the goals of the event is to clear up misconceptions about the Islamic faith.

    “One thing that really helps is for people to know a Muslim one-on-one, and that’s part of encouraging Muslims to get out, to be involved in society, because if people know you personally, that’s their image of Islam,” Muhammad told WKU Public Radio.

She says the event will encourage Muslims to get involved in government, including running for office.

Muslim visitors also plan to advocate for certain legislation, including stronger anti-bullying laws.  The group has invited Governor Andy Beshear to meet with them.  Muhammad says Muslim Day at the State Capitol is not government-sanctioned and no taxpayer funds are being used.  She hopes it will become an annual event.

Forgetting the spork and napkin may be dangerous to your health working the drive-thru window.


SHELBYVILLE, Ky. (WKRC) - A Georgia woman was arrested after police said she shot at a drive-thru window in Shelbyville, Kentucky, in October.

Police were called to the KFC on Oct. 28 after 33-year-old Jonelle Dare reportedly shot at the window. Several employees and customers were inside at the time. Witnesses say it was because she didn't receive a fork and napkin with her order.

An arrest warrant and extradition request were issued for Dare. She was arrested Tuesday and police found a gun matching the description of the one used at the KFC.
It's plastic. It should be banned.

Details on how she obtained the gun are...pending/soon-to-be-released/may never be reported.

Gun Owner Registration Hearing on Wednesday; Washington Sheriffs won't enforce gun laws pending decision of constitutionality.

2nd Amendment Daily News reports: HR 8 hearing tomorrow.
Washington, DC — House Judiciary Committee Chairman, anti-gun Democrat Jerrold Nadler, has called for a “mark up” hearing on House Bill 8, National Gun Owner Registration tomorrow in Washington, DC.

A “mark up” hearing is where legislators from the committee in which the bill is assigned make changes [sic] and adjustments to a bill before voting on a final version and sending it on to the floor of the House.
[.]
H.R. 8 would turn gun owners into felons who transfer a firearm without first asking permission from the government.

Universal background checks will make FELONS out of gun owners who transfer a firearm without first obtaining government permission!

KING 5 NewsSome Washington sheriffs won't enforce new gun laws.
Sheriffs in a dozen Washington counties say they won't enforce the state's sweeping new restrictions on semi-automatic rifles until the courts decide whether they are constitutional.
[.]
"I swore an oath to defend our citizens and their constitutionally protected rights," Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones said. "I do not believe the popular vote overrules that."
[.]
"The political grandstanding is disheartening," said Renee Hopkins, chief executive of the Alliance for Gun Responsibility, which pushed the initiative.
No, the political grandstanding is in thinking a measure, or law, should be applied upon the immediate questioning of the Constitutionality and where its finality has not yet been decided. And, it doesn't hurt that the Grant County Sheriff is named Tom Jones.

Kentucky Sheriff John Kirk: Lock your homes; load your guns and get a dog.

I don't know what's wrong with, if anything, the below link to the FOX News story. Sometimes I get a "not allowed on server" and the story is blocked, other times, it's fine. Don't know what to advise here. It seems to work when right-clicking and selecting "Open in New Window".

FOX News: Law enforcement suspended due to lack of funding.
A Kentucky sheriff has advice for residents after he announced the suspension of all law enforcement activities: Lock your homes; load your guns and get a dog.

Martin County Sheriff John Kirk took the stage without invitation at a fiscal court meeting on Feb. 4, saying his office was still owed a January payment of $75,000, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported. He also said new obligations given to his office will add $99,000 to his annual expenditures.

Folks, lock your doors, load your guns and get you a barking, biting dog,” he wrote. “If the sheriff’s office can’t protect you, who will?
[.]
Without the sheriff’s office, the residents will have to rely on the Kentucky State Police, which at times only has one officer patrolling multiple counties.
