The Claremont Sheriffs Fellows Just Keep Getting Creepier

#ConstitutionalSheriffs

For the past two years, the MAGA-aligned think tank has hosted a choice selection of county sheriffs as honored fellows to fill their minds with frothy far-right intellectualism, hoping these humble, heavily armed servants will return home newly emboldened to implement proto-authoritarian policies in their local communities.

@Victor Several years ago, there was even a gun guy clothing line that used Pb as a logo.

An alternate font, usually used when the name is spelled out.

This is:

Twitter is losing their collective shit over this photo. But that's not the Proud Boys' logo or font.

@Former5SportOfficial He was a really nice guy and could walk the length of the dorm hallway on his hands. He struggled, though, with anything that required a lot of math.

@Former5SportOfficial When I was an undergrad, I tutored a Cal football player. He had to pass his classes towards a degree just like everyone else.

Go Bears.

It's weird watching this fake info go viral. UC Berkeley and UCLA don't and can't use race based admission to the school ever since Prop 209 was passed into law in 1996.

When you see a lot of non-white students, it's because they had to work their freaking asses off (GPA, SAT scores, AP classes, and extra-curriculars) just to get in and keep working their asses not to drop out in the first two years.

@Alt_Human Yep.

The average temp in Palm Springs is 75 degrees in February, 81 degrees in March, so 60 is a freakish cold front.

I went to a swap meet today in So Cal. The high is only 60 degrees so locals were in parkas while tourists and fashionable mannequins were in shorts and short sleeves.

To clarify, the reason it's important to differentiate between homegrown and foreign terror is the choice of victims.

Foreign groups like ISIS want to kill Americans and attack American institutions. Homegrown extremists who support ISIS are more likely to attack synagogues, Jewish schools, and other places where Jews congregate.

I also expect that narcoterrorism and gang-related terrorism are going to make their way on this list in the foreseeable future.

It looks like NJ is following the FBI model of differentiating between Homegrown Violent Extremists (Americans who do violent stuff in America in support of foreign terrorist groups like ISIS) and foreign terrorists like ISIS who travel to the US to kill Americans.

The first group is high risk, the latter, low.

The New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP) has released their annual report. NJ is unusual in their efforts to make such info readily available to the general public.

@sfleetucker There's at least one journalist pushing on that idea.

I wonder if Tucker Carlson understands that when he airs never-before-seen footage from J6, there's an online army of people ready to identify new faces doing stupid and illegal things...
