Squirrel!!

Odds and Ends


Hudson Yards,  an expansive real estate development is about to open in Manhattan. Seven floors of retail are occupied by Fendi, Dior, Neiman Marcus and other high-end shops. Major corporations, including WarnerMedia and L’Oreal USA, will have their headquarters there. In the luxury residential buildings, one-bedroom apartments will rent for at least $5,200 a month — or you can buy a two-floor penthouse condo for $32 million.
All thanks to the help of taxpayers to the tune of $ 6 Billion dollars, doubt the amount promised Amazon.
Where is AOC on this one?  Crickets

The Colorado Civil Rights Commission was mulling a second complaint against the Cake artist who won a SCOTUS case that his religious beliefs were ignored in refusing to design a cake for a same-sex marriage, one of the last opinions of Anthony Kennedy.
This second case was on his refusal to create a cake for a “transition ceremony” for a lawyer who was changing his gender identity to female. This lawyer had deliberately placed his cake order after the original case was well-known, for the express purpose of bringing further litigation that would have ruined the baker’s business.

Turns out  a transcript from a commission meeting less than three weeks after Kennedy’s ruling shows the Commissioners  still have a clear animus against Phillips and other Christians, whose religion they still find “despicable."

This month the second complaint was dismissed by the Commission.
They are religious bigots but not stupid.

Hudson Yards was originally where a ballpark was going to be built - after that got blocked, this multi-use facility was built instead. It started (and its tax breaks started) 10 years ago. Ocasio Cortez was 19 years old, roughly, and a college student in Boston. Pretty good chance that she had no awareness of those tax breaks at the time. The bulk of them are older, not newer, as I understand it.

LOL  6 Billion Dollars in tax breaks for million dollar condos, fancy apartments and overpriced retail stores.  Imagine the amount of carbon needed to be used in construction.  And AOC gives it a pass.

As for the decision to not accuse the baker, I think it was a good call, given the direction they were given from the bench in the last case.

As I said the bigots are not stupid.

So-called Argument #1: "It is unconstitutional."

  But parts of it  are, without question.

So-called Argument #2: It "is ... a ... campaign tactic."

Absolutely

So-called Argument #3: "It’s isnothing more than the political rape of Federalism, denial of Free Speech, and a power grab allowing the federal government to politicize elections."

Absolutely squared.

Red is wrong about the constitutionality of HR1, but right in saying it should have been done before health care. It would have given some serious headwinds to Red’s terror cell and reduced the scope of the terrible shit they accomplished.

My Prime Minister spoke;

Mr Morrison used an International Women's Day event to insist that while "we want to see women rise ... we don't want to see women rise only on the basis of others doing worse".

The wrath of the globe descended upon him.

Ya can't say that, ScoMo, the "50% women in everything/100% renewables now" Leftists-Feminists 'alliance' will 'eat you alive'.

With Leftist govts state and federal [wouldn't know what a budget surplus was] soon to rule the downunder land, sacking boards immediately and replacing them with 50% women seems to be one of their favourite plans, they've said that's what they're going to do.

Should be fun when the "50% women"/ "Leftist-feminist" lot discover what that actually means...that men on these boards, and men and elsewhere employed[highly capable/highly respected men], husbands of women, are going to be sacked, for no other reason than that they're men.
This seems to have dawned on one lovely lady host of a program on my tv today...that this tirade at, and sacking of men so women can immediately  have 50% of everything could affect her husband...that her husband is a man with a job [probably a good job, ...attractive women usually have a good choice of suitors from which to "marry well"].

I had to smile.

Next week is a big flurry of sentencing hearings, pending any changes to the calendar. What’s the Vegas line for total years sentenced Nixon admin vs. trump stooge fest?

Quick show of hands:  how many understand what "the rape of Federalism" means?

Just saying, a fundamental principle of making a persuasive argument is that your listeners have some idea what you're talking about.

Might help if you knew the Definition of Federalism.

[barton]

It's like I'm psychic!  Somehow I knew Red would just post an insult instead of elucidating how federalism is being raped. 

Everyone here knows what federalism* is, fuckhead.  The challenge was to demonstrate how HR 1 would rape it.
