The View from Here

Today’s featured image is of Lock 23 on the Erie canal. The lock is located near Brewerton NY. It is roughly the mid-point of the canal.


We start today’s View with some news from the land of fruits and nuts.

California governor Gavin Newsome signed a bill that requires prison officials to house inmates by their “preferred gender”. The law says officials must ask inmates during the intake process if they identify as transgender, nonbinary or intersex. Those inmates can then request placement in a facility that houses either men or women. That’s not going to end badly at all. . . .


At least 472 NYPD officers across all ranks have been injured responding to riots and protests since May 28, department data shows. Officers have been shot at, stabbed, assaulted with rocks, bricks, struck by vehicles and had Molotov cocktails hurled at them. Of those injured, 319 cops required hospital treatment and seven were hospitalized. That’s a 47 percent increase from 2019.

Who’s to blame? My take is the blame falls directly on hizzonor Bill DeBlasio.


Sleepy Joe refused to answer whether or not he supports court packing, saying it was a Trump tactic.

“I know you’re going to be upset with my answer,” Biden said. “But what I’m not going to do is play the Trump game, which is a good game he plays, take your eye of the issue before us. If I were to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to that, that becomes a big issue. That’s the headline here.” 

WATCH:


The attacks on ACB have started. And it looks like the lines of attack are well coordinated. Illegitimacy, health care and Roe are the preferred lines of attack. Nevermind that many from the opposite side of the aisle have come out in support of her.
