Was talking the other day with a middle aged white guy. He couldn’t wait to discuss the ills of the world while we waited.

I was ok with that, until I figured out that he had opinions about things that he had no experience on.

He’d never worked at a professional job. But he had an opinion on how that should work. How folks should be treated, how the corporate world should work, and how folks who made more money that him should be taxed.

He’d (obviously) never met anyone of a different race or economic class  (except in passing), and seemed to think that Hispanics were nice folks who were great gardeners, Asians were nice folks period, and Black people were all like the folks he saw on TV commercials. And he had an opinion how to help em all, even though he didn’t actually, you know, KNOW anyone of another color or economic class.

Tell all your liberal neighbors:

There is gonna be an announcement by Ivana Trump (His First Wife) about her proof of High Crimes by Trump. She claims it will be enough for impeachment.


She’s gonna spill it all on the waterfront in Miami. On Sunday. Anyone there gets TWO votes next election. Busses are standing by. 


Please note: Conservatives are NOT invited. 

That is all.

Lots of good shit at his site. 

That we cannot punish those DACA children because of something their Parents did years ago…

OK.

But then why are whites being punished for something that happened GENERATIONS ago…..

Slavery.
Jim Crow.

Please, enlighten me.

If you get trapped by, have your household possessions damaged by flooding from, or are killed by the effects of hurricane Irma, I have absolutely zero sympathy.

Projections now put Irma as travelling essentially straight through the center of Florida. If you are in that cone of possible paths, you have at least 4 days to prepare.

And, of course, leave the areas.

And if you have a decent hurricane shelter and haven’t prepared yet, well, I don’t feel too bad if you have to pay extra for water and other supplies if you are panic buying.

But I am a cruel, heartless, mean, prepping conservative, so take that into account.

A whole bunch of Leftists claim that Breitbart isn’t a good source for news…..But that the Washington Post and the New York (Or LA) Times is….

Odd, that.

To HIS Legal Defense Fund.

Sadly, I can’t find one.

What would you do if you were attacked by a mob of Antifa Leftists?  (I’d likely try not to be there, but if and when, then what? )

ETA: Here is a donation page. (you’ll have to select the right category….”Mike Strickland Donation”)

Or, maybe, a significant portion of our population is just plain STUPID. I dunno. It happens every time there is a hurricane, or, in the northern states, every time there is a call for a winter storm (except up north, it is food rather than water, so everyone buys french toast fixin’s)

So, despite YEARS of experience as to what happens when a hurricane hits a major US population center….and even more experience as to the needed supplies and what comes to be in short supply immediately before a hurricane, folks in Florida are just now deciding to ramp up their hurricane preps……and running into supply chain issues.

Seems that water is nearly nonexistent. Same same no prep/low prep foods. Same batteries and diapers. And gasoline (although the gasoline issue is exacerbated somewhat by the hurricane Harvey caused shutdown of some of the refineries that supply the South, so I’ll give ’em a pass on that, sorta)

How friggin’ hard is it to have a gallon of water per person per day for say 5 days in preps? I mean, lets say a family of five. That is 25 gallons of water to be stored. Yes, I get that it is bulky and heavy, but to have it can, literally, be a lifesaver. It isn’t like it needs any more storage care than a brick, short term, so why doesn’t everyone in an area where hurricanes are common have some water stored?

Food, also. Really canned/freeze dried/MRE etc is about as stable as lumber is for storage. Keep it dry and, in the short term (like 2+ years) the food is good and safe to eat, if not tasty.

I’m not talking long term preps like some of us have, but simple short term preps for a natural disaster. It isn’t hard to get a few 5 gallon cans and rotate them every 3-6 months to keep your gas fresh. I do it, and trust me, if there is a lazier man than me, I haven’t found one…

Or do these multitudes think that it is the responsibility of the “government” or “FEMA” to save their asses? Supply them with Food and Water in the immediate aftermath of a hurricane, where there is no power, few (if any) passable roads, and the first responders themselves may need help? Or do they fail to realize that they have many fellow citizens who think like them, all of whom will choose, at the last minute, to “stock up” just in case?

You are enjoying your Communist Inspired Holiday.

Happy Labor Day.

So by now I am sure you’ve see, read or heard on media the story of the Utah nurse who was arrested for following the policy of the hospital she worked at (and the LAW, BTW) regarding a blood sample and an unconscious man under her care.

Now, the officer who arrested her is on Administrative leave. Which is something, if not the answer.

A couple of points that no one else is bringing up:

There were other officers on the scene (watch the video). They didn’t stop Det. Jeff Payne from arresting her. In fact, in some versions of the video, one helped.

A further point here is that the man from whom the detective wanted blood drawn was an innocent bystander in an accident resulting from a police chase. He was injured when the fugitive ran into the semi he was driving and said semi burst into flame. Why did they need a sample of his blood?

And why aren’t the other police officers in the hospital who witnessed what was, at the core of it, an assault and illegal detention and kidnapping of a nurse? They stood by and did nothing. Why? And why aren’t they also on unpaid leave?
