The Amchitka Strategic Bureaucracy Reserve

Posted on | June 3, 2024 | Comments Off on The Amchitka Strategic Bureaucracy Reserve

— by Wombat-socho

“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and a bureaucrat to Alaska!” – Captain Wallace Binghamton, USNR

It is widely known that you can get a lot accomplished if you don’t care who gets the credit. I therefore offer this proposal to the Trump campaign free of charge.*

One of the problems with uprooting the Deep State and the associated federal bureaucracy is that many of the people we want to drive into the wilderness are protected by being in the Civil Service, which makes them practically impossible to fire. A possible solution to this (short of electing a conservative – note I didn’t say Republican – Congress that will repeal the Civil Service Act of 1978) is to make serving in the bureaucracy as unpleasant as possible. There have been some proposals to disperse Federal agencies among the several states so as to put them “closer to the people they serve” and incidentally weaken the Washington DC area both economically and politically. Those proposals don’t go far enough. I propose that since we clearly have an excess of enemies of the state drawing paychecks from the Treasury, we should put them in places where no reasonable person would want to live and work, while making their lives as difficult as possible once they’re there. Such as, for example, the Aleutian island of Amchitka, most noted for being the site of a 1971 nuclear test that environmental wackos promised us would destroy Anchorage, Juneau, and Vancouver with an enormous man-made tsunami. (Spoiler: It didn’t.) A cursory review of the island will reveal that it has several features that make it ideal for our purposes: the weather is usually foul, it is distant from any other human habitations, there is no infrastructure on the island of any kind, and it is prone to earthquakes. in addition, Amchitka is still being monitored for the release of radioactive materials from the 1971 test, which ought to put the fear of SCIENCE!! into our victimsstockpiled bureaucrats. The rest of the Rat Islands would also be suitable for our purposes; Shemya, on the other hand, while possessing many of the traits that make Amchitka suitable for the SBR, actually has people living on it as well as a vital national defense installation, and we don’t want our stockpiled bureaucrats bothering any of those people.

How do we determine who gets shipped off to the SBR? During each of the government shutdowns caused by budgetary brinksmanship, lists are made of who the essential and nonessential employees are in each agency. The nonessential employees will be given a week to decide whether they want to quit, retire, or move to the Strategic Bureaucracy Reserve to continue their work. If they choose the SBR, they will be shipped to Amchitka with a tent, a sleeping bag, and fifty pounds of personal effects. They will not be allowed to take their families with them. Once relocated to the SBR, they will find office space in General Purpose Large tents erected by the Army, and conduct all their business in writing; the government will not provide any kind of computers or telephones to the SBR, much less any internet connections. Food, sanitation, and medical support will be provided by National Guard and Army Reserve units doing their 15-day annual training stint supplemented by prisoners from various military stockades and Americorps “volunteers” working off their student loans. A weekly mail boat will suffice to provide postal support and transportation off the island for bureaucrats who decide they’ve had enough of this treatment.

It’s possible that the number of bureaucrats sent to the SBR may exceed the space available on the Rat Islands. In this case, we may have to use less attractive (sic) options such as Johnston Atoll, which while it lacks the generally foul weather and earthquakes of the Rat Islands, does have a history of chemical weapons deactivation and nuclear weapons contamination, not to mention the occasional powerful hurricane, and is suitably distant from any human habitation.

It’s my fond hope that the creation of the SBR will result in the rapid drawdown of the Civil Service, and a consequent re-evaluation by Congress as to whether we need some of the etiolated agencies weakened by the creation of the SBR. It’s my small contribution toward Making America Great Again. 

*Although I wouldn’t mind an appointment as a warrant officer with the four-year assignment of telling people they’re moving to Amchitka in a week.

Left-Wing DA Drops Charges Against Minnesota State Trooper Who Killed Thug

Posted on | June 3, 2024 | Comments Off on Left-Wing DA Drops Charges Against Minnesota State Trooper Who Killed Thug

Ricky Thomas Cobb II

July 31 ought to be an annual holiday in Minnesota, to celebrate the heroism of Minnesota State Trooper Ryan Londregan, who made the world a better place when he fatally shot career criminal Ricky Cobb II.

It was 2 o’clock in the morning when troopers pulled over Cobb on I-94 north of downtown Minneapolis last July 31. There was a warrant for Cobb’s arrest in neighboring Ramsey County for violating a domestic violence protection order. Cobb, 33, had an extensive criminal record, and probably should have never been released from prison.

Among other things, Cobb had a tattoo declaring his affiliation with a north Minneapolis gang, the “1-9 Block Dipset Gang,” notorious for drug dealing and deadly street violence against rivals. But Cobb was not merely a local menace. He had charges in several different counties. The mug shot at the top of this post is from Cobb’s arrest in a 2013 bar brawl in St. Cloud, 65 miles north of Minneapolis. Ricky Cobb was a statewide one-man crime wave. Wherever he went, crime happened.

Did I mention that Ricky Cobb was a menace to women? He was twice convicted (in 2014 and 2017) of felony domestic assault by strangulation. He was then convicted in 2018 of being a felon in possession of a firearm, and sentenced to five years in prison. When he appealed his sentence, the court’s response was basically, “LOL.” And there’s much more about Ricky Cobb’s lifelong career of criminal violence:

The criminal complaint in the 2017 Wright County strangulation case describes a violent episode during an argument with the mother of one of Cobb’s children in which he reportedly punched her in the face several times and grabbed her by the neck, causing her to not be able to breathe. When the victim made two attempts to escape the apartment, Cobb blocked her and again strangled her both times. The victim was holding their 6-month-old baby during at least one of the attacks, the complaint said. . . .
Cobb also had two convictions for violating domestic abuse no contact orders, as well as a handful of other convictions for theft, false information to police, marijuana possession in a vehicle, and driving after suspension.
Court records show that Cobb pled guilty [in July 2023] in Anoka County Court to a felony count of providing false information to police as a predatory offender. Cobb had been out of custody on zero bail awaiting a September sentencing hearing in the case. The plea agreement specified that in exchange for the guilty plea, Cobb’s defense counsel would argue for a departure from sentencing guidelines. The case was charged last October, and the complaint stated that Cobb was required to register as a predatory offender as a result of a 2018 Wright County case. Two of Cobb’s prior domestic cases were out of Wright County: the 2017 domestic strangulation case, and one of the cases involving violation of a no contact order.
Cobb’s three felony convictions would have prohibited him from legally possessing firearms under Minnesota law.
A further search of Minnesota civil court records show Cobb was in court in May of [2023] fighting a child support order initiated in 2017 when Cobb was incarcerated. The order was finalized in May in favor of the petitioner and against Cobb. . . .
Other court records show that the petitioner in the child support/paternity case received an order for protection on behalf of themself and the two children in December 2021. In granting the order for protection, the court document stated that “the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that [Cobb] poses an imminent risk of causing another person substantial bodily harm and [pursuant to statute] the local law enforcement agency shall take immediate possession of all firearms in [Cobb’s] possession.”

All of this is preamble to the bizarre “controversy” surrounding Trooper Londregan’s fatal shooting of Ricky Cobb. The district attorney in Hennepin County is a left-wing Democrat named Mary Moriarty.

“How left-wing is she?” you ask. So left-wing that, when Moriarty approved a plea deal that gave a slap on the wrist to two teenage killers for murdering Zaria McKeever in November 2022, she was criticized by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is one of the most left-wing public officials on the planet. There’s “soft on crime” (which most Democrats are) and then there’s “too soft on crime for Keith Ellison,” which is a whole different Bonus Level of soft-on-crime.

You can watch the video of the incident in which Trooper Londregan shot Ricky Cobb and see that any reasonable person would determine that the shooting was justified, even if they didn’t know that Ricky Cobb was a lifelong menace to the community. But this happened in Minneapolis, where St. George of the Blessed Fentanyl is considered a civil rights martyr, and the usual suspects demanded “justice.”

In January, Mary Moriarty charged Trooper Londregan with three felonies — second-degree unintentional murder, first-degree assault, and second-degree manslaughter: “Our hearts are with Ricky Cobb’s family today, who are grieving an unimaginable loss. I know that they are devastated and will continue to feel this loss for the rest of their lives.”

Like I said, this is a whole different Bonus Level of soft-on-crime and, even in a reliably Democrat state like Minneapolis, people were outraged by Moriarty’s action. In March, after Londregan’s lawyers accused Moriarty’s office of ignoring the opinion of an expert who said the trooper’s “use of force was reasonable since the trooper thought his colleagues’ lives were in danger,” Minnesota’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz — who is certainly not a conservative — said he was considering taking the case away from Moriarty’s office. In case you didn’t know it, there’s an election in November, and polls show Joe Biden just barely leading Donald Trump in Minnesota. The last thing Democrats in Minnesota need is for the anti-cop prosecutor in Minneapolis to be pushing cases that remind voters of how soft-on-crime Democrats are.

This probably explains why, under pressure from Democrats who aren’t as batshit crazy as she is, Mary Moriarty found an excuse to decide, on second thought, maybe Trooper Londregan isn’t a murderer:

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office announced Sunday that Mary Moriarty has filed to dismiss the case against Minnesota State Trooper Ryan Londregan in the killing of Ricky Cobb II.
Moriarty filed a notice to dismiss charges against Londregan, saying defense lawyers presented many new pieces of evidence that made it “impossible” to prove that the shooting death of Cobb II was not an authorized use of force incident by Londregan.
Prosecutors dropped the case after hearing new testimony from Londregan, where he claimed he saw Cobb II reach for his firearm shortly before Londregan fired gunshots that ultimately killed Cobb. Also, prosecutors say a Minnesota State Patrol trainer claimed he never instructed officers to hold back from shooting into a moving car while trying to get a suspect out of the car but said refraining from firing at a moving car is “best practice.”
After these testimonies, and working with a use of force expert, Moriarty and prosecutors in the case decided to dismiss the case. . . .
“Open season on law enforcement needs to end – on the streets and in the courtroom. Trooper Londregan should have never been charged, and we are glad this political case is over. Enough is enough,” Minnesota Police and Peace Officer Association (MPPOA) Executive Director Brain Peters said in a statement about the dismissal.

Minnesota’s four Republican members of Congress — Brad Finstad, Michelle Fischbach, Tom Emmer and Pete Stauber — responded to Sunday’s announcement with the following statement:

“It was clear months ago that Ms. Moriarty was abusing her position to wrongfully charge Trooper Londregan. When she refused to listen to the facts of the case and the law, we asked Governor Walz to step in and remove the case from her jurisdiction. Finally, after many months of unnecessary strife, Ms. Moriarty has come to the same conclusion that the experts did: that Trooper Londregan was completely justified in his use of force to protect his partner’s life.
“We still share the same concerns we expressed to the Governor, as well as the House Judiciary Committee, about Ms. Moriarty’s active work to demonize law enforcement. We are committed to doing everything we can to protect our brave officers from corrupted officials like her.”

Good. Now make July 31 a statewide holiday in Minnesota.

A better week than expected, as the Senators took two out of three from the Cardinals on Tuesday and did likewise unto the Tribe on Friday. This puts us at 30-38, four games above the A’s, who are last in the Beta Division, and six games behind the 36-32 Twins. Other losing teams might be cashing in their stars for future draft picks, but not us – #NoSurrender!

Amid Tsunami of Illegal Immigration, ICE Brags About Deporting One Criminal

Posted on | June 1, 2024 | 1 Comment

First, here’s the agency’s press release:

ERO Baltimore arrests noncitizen wanted by Dominican authorities for manslaughter
Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Baltimore apprehended a Dominican national wanted in his home country for manslaughter. Deportation officers from ERO Baltimore’s Fugitive Operations Team arrested the 27-year-old noncitizen at his residence in Baltimore May 23.
“This Dominican national came to Maryland in an attempt to evade a serious charge in his home country,” said ERO Baltimore acting Field Office Director Matthew Elliston. “He posed a significant threat to our Maryland communities. ERO Baltimore will not allow Maryland to become a safe haven for the world’s criminals.”
The Dominican noncitizen unlawfully entered the United States on an unknown date and at an unknown location. He was not inspected, admitted or paroled by a U.S. immigration official.
Dominican authorities charged the Dominican national for injury causing death/manslaughter/murder Sept. 21, 2022, and subsequently issued a warrant for his arrest.
The Dade County Police Department in Miami, Florida, cited the Dominican noncitizen May 4, 2023, for driving on the wrong side of the roadway.
On May 13, 2024, ERO Philadelphia notified ERO Baltimore that the Dominican noncitizen’s vehicle was located at the scene of a drug distribution and trafficking investigation in Baltimore.
Deportation officers from ERO Baltimore’s Fugitive Operations Team arrested the Dominican noncitizen at his residence in Baltimore May 23 and served him a notice to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge. The Dominican noncitizen will remain in ICE custody pending the outcome of his removal proceedings.
ERO conducts removals of individuals without a lawful basis to remain in the United States, including at the order of immigration judges with the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). EOIR is a separate entity from the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Immigration judges in these courts make decisions based on the merits of each individual case, determining if a noncitizen is subject to a final order of removal or eligible for certain forms of relief from removal. . . .
As one of ICE’s three operational directorates, ERO is the principal federal law enforcement authority in charge of domestic immigration enforcement. ERO’s mission is to protect the homeland through the arrest and removal of those who undermine the safety of U.S. communities and the integrity of U.S. immigration laws, and its primary areas of focus are interior enforcement operations, management of the agency’s detained and non-detained populations, and repatriation of noncitizens who have received final orders of removal. ERO’s workforce consists of more than 7,700 law enforcement and non-law enforcement support personnel across 25 domestic field offices and 208 locations nationwide, 30 overseas postings, and multiple temporary duty travel assignments along the border.

Did you notice what’s missing from that? There is no name of this foreign killer, and ICE didn’t issue a mug shot, either. From the standpoint of a journalist, this press release fails at a very basic level. To report the arrest of a dangerous international fugitive without even including his name? Sorry, you just flunked Journalism 101. As for why the feds would do this, I suppose some bureaucrat might be apprehensive that to include the name and mug shot would inspire xeonophobic bigotry.

While we can be happy that ICE caught this one bad guy, what about the untold millions of other illegal immigrants who have poured into the country with the tacit permission of Joe Biden and his henchman, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas? Biden and Mayorkas have deliberately stopped protecting the border as a matter of policy, flooding the country with foreigners. A recent report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) concluded that “the total foreign-born population (legal and illegal together) grew to 46.7 million in February 2022, a new record high in American history and an increase of 1.7 million since January 2021.”

Importing foreigners at the rate of 1.7 million a year, but remember that “The Great Replacement” is a racist conspiracy theory, you bigot!

Now go back to that ICE press release. The agency admits they know nothing about how or when the unnamed Dominican killer got into the country: He “unlawfully entered the United States on an unknown date and at an unknown location.” All they know is that he got a traffic ticket in Miami in May of last year. Why wasn’t he detained by ICE and deported then? We don’t have an answer to that. Apparently illegal immigrants can drive on the wrong side of the road in Miami without fear of getting deported. So for at least a year, Señor Wrong-Way Dominican was at large in the U.S. until ICE officials in the crime-ridden hellhole of Philadelphia learned he was involved in a drug-dealing operation, and somehow they found him in the crime-ridden hellhole of Baltimore,

But then they issue a press release with no name or photo of Señor Wrong-Way Dominican, and expect that no one will notice the omission? Is this standard operational procedure at ICE? Or is it, as I suspect, part of an election-year propaganda campaign by Biden administration officials to convey the message that Our President is doing a bang-up job on border enforcement (no matter what those lying Republicans claim)?

We shall likely see many other press releases like this between now and Election Day. November 5 cannot arrive soon enough.

Rigged Jury in Show Trial Delivers Guilty Verdict Demanded by Corrupt Judge

Posted on | May 30, 2024 | 1 Comment

Was there ever any doubt about this predetermined outcome? The way that Judge Juan Merchan instructed the jury made anything but a guilty verdict impossible, if there was ever any doubt to begin with (which there wasn’t). As I explained 10 days ago:

The evidence and testimony don’t matter, because the outcome was predetermined before the “trial” ever started. This is a political operation organized by the Democratic Party to punish Trump and, if possible, to prevent him from being elected president again.
Understand that 86% of voters in Manhattan voted for Joe Biden in 2020. There are no honest people on that jury. They know full well why they are there, and what is expected of them. This “trial” has nothing to do with justice, and everything to do with revenge — Trump beat Hillary in 2016, and Democrats cannot forgive him for that.

“Mother Teresa could not beat these charges . . . The whole thing is rigged,” Trump said. No honest person could disagree.

UPDATE 5:20 p.m. ET: Pepe the Frog speaks for us all:

UPDATE 6 p.m. ET: On the phone with Aaron Walker just now, I said the problem with writing about this trial is that the English language doesn’t have enough synonyms for bullshit.

UPDATE 7:53 p.m. ET: Americans aren’t stupid:

“This was done by the Biden administration in order to hurt an opponent, a political opponent, and I think it’s just a disgrace,” Trump said.
“This was a rigged decision right from day one, with a conflicted judge who should have never been allowed to try this case, never,” Trump said.
Increasing numbers of Americans see Trump’s criminal trial as irrelevant to his fitness for reelection, a CNN poll recently found, and only 13 percent believe Trump was being treated the same as other “criminal defendants.”
A majority of Americans doubted Trump’s criminal trial will conclude with a fair outcome, the CNN poll found. Only about one-third of American adults believed Trump did anything illegal regarding the case, an AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found in April.
