Quick Hits: Volume CCXCIII

Progs went into hyperdrive to exploit last weekend's spree killing at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, CO. In addition to the obligatory calls for "gun control" (thus undermining the Second Amendment), they're now openly calling for the stifling of dissent (i.e. undermining the First Amendment). 

While we have yet to ascertain a motive of the gunman who killed five and wounded several others a Club Q, progs still concocted a convenient narrative that the political right's objections to affirming children's desire to change genders via damaging medical procedures is what set the gunman off. Hence they're flooding the zone with the phrase "stochastic terrorism," which is defined as follows: 

The public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted.

You can see where this is going, right? Now any rhetoric the left finds objectionable, they can claim it must be shut down in the name of defeating "terrorism." That means they'd be more aggressive than ever in moving forward with their loony ideas, and do so unchallenged. Pretty tidy.  

- President Joe Biden attempts to circumvent the judicial branch which shut down his "student debt relief plan."

I'm confident that our student debt relief plan is legal. But it’s on hold because Republican officials want to block it.

That's why @SecCardona is extending the payment pause to no later than June 30, 2023, giving the Supreme Court time to hear the case in its current term. pic.twitter.com/873CurlHFZ

Again, all matters concerning fiscal policy need to be decided in Congress. Doing so via Executive fiat in flatly unconstitutional. Not sure why Biden feels confident the nation's highest court would rule in his favor. 

- Now this is a legitimately courageous stance against one's country.

Remember how certain bobbleheads lauded former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick for "sacrificing his NFL career" because he took a knee during the Star Spangled Banner? Well Kap has actually gotten wealthy off of trashing of America, all the while being spared potential brain trauma by not playing the NFL. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that these Iranian soccer players aren't going to reap those kinds of benefits given the heavy handed government in their home country.
