Probably Not

Most of these people are buying guns because they are frightened. How they vote will depend on who they blame. It may not be Antifa BLM or the Democrats.

Longtime Marvel inker Joe Sinnott dead at 93, family says

I've loved comic books since before I could read them. There were inkers I dreaded to see for various reason. Joes Sinnott was never one of those. His work complemented the pencils he inked. He was extremely competent at this trade. He will be missed.

Outrage as activists and journalists say the Star Spangled Banner should no longer be the National Anthem because it was written by slave owner Francis Scott Key - and suggest John Lennon's Imagine as a replacement

Just Because...

George Floyd was murdered in a city run by a Democrat mayor since 1973, whose police chief was appointed by a Democrat, in a state with two Democrat Senators, and hasn't voted for a Republican President since Nixon. Completely insane she can say something like this unchallenged. https://t.co/xVTOLReLVm

A 90% Drop in Covid19 Deaths...

...and we get crickets from the Media.

Media Ignores 90% Coronavirus Death Collapse In Country

...but that's not what we are being told.

Daily COVID-19 Deaths in the U.S. Have Fallen Dramatically Since April

COVID-19 hospitalizations hit another record high in NC, pass 900 for the first time since the start of the pandemic

The point of the lockdown was to give the country the time to ramp up testing, look for treatments, and increase medical supplies. By curbing the spread, health officials could more readily identify hotspots and conduct contact tracing, and the health care system could cope with any increase in demand. Which, as Kudlow points out, is exactly what’s happening now. P> What’s more, the increase in coronavirus cases matters only if they are going up faster than expected, and whether this is resulting in a second wave of deaths.

Neither of those appears to be true.

Now That's Funny

Usagi Yojimbo Art [Updated]

Stan Sakai writes and draw by favorite comic Book, Usagi Yojimbo, I missed the first couple of appearances in ALBEDO but still started reading him early in the run. I started buying the signed and numbered editions as they hit the shelves. I bought them to read. Things I like I want in hardcover so I can read it over and over. On the bookplate of each edition, Stan would draw a small sketch. I didn't get into buying art until 2014 and Stan's original art was mostly outside buy range if you could find it at all. I'd brag though that I had several sketches of Usagi by Stan and I did...in the books. Mostly I didn't think about them. I bought the books to read. The other day I purchased a finished drawing by Stan, Usagi with Clenched Fist which is posted elsewhere on this blog but also below. I started thinking of the sketches in the books and went looking. As the editions reached the twenties and thirties the sketches were mostly head shots with just a signature on the last Dark Horse Edition. These editions ranged from 500 to 1500 copies. That's a lot of sketches and a lot of time that could be put toward the comic. I'm thankful he put the time and thought into the sketches he did. All the work is nice but the earlier editions have some really nice stuff. I look for Stan's work on eBay and on dealer websites. These are much nicer than some of the convention sketches I see posted for sell. As I said elsewhere, I had riches and didn't realize it.

The remaining editions contained mostly head sKetches similar to those displayed already. There are plenty of examples already. No need to scan and post. Enjoy.

The Backlash is Coming

There will be a backlash to these actions, but not in the form of the “white people’s riot” that In Living Color imagined. That backlash may come at the ballot box, or it may come in some other indirect form. Some people aren’t interested in direct confrontation in the streets. They may simply prefer to express their opposition in a way that these protesters expect it least — businesses moving out, reluctance to hire, reluctance to visit a neighborhood, effectively abandoning a community. Not every wall that is built is physical and visible. But one way or another, the reaction is coming.

That's What I Thought

Moving on to Cal Cunningham here in North Carolina, you saw a ton of ads for him early in the spring. Some so-called veterans PAC was running a lot of ads for him touting that he served in Iraq and was awarded the Bronze Star. You got the impression he was like Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) who, despite being a Harvard Law School grad, served as an infantry officer in Iraq and Afghanistan. If that was your impression, you’d be wrong. Cunningham served as a JAG attorney in the Army Reserve attached to the XVIII Airborne Corps. His Bronze Star was awarded for meritorious service overseeing a number of attorneys and paralegals. In other words, he got it for acting like the managing partner of a law firm – not for leading troops in combat.

That and his endorsement by Everytown. Bought and paid for by Bloomberg.

I'm confident the majority of Americans know better. The people spouting this bullshit are a loud Leftist minority given slanted coverage by the Media, They don't want to get rid of the police. They want to get rid of what we have now and replace it with their own Cheka. What they don't realize thrie thugs might not be the replacement. That void they create might be filled by something else. What follows falls under interesting times.
