Even more “correlation ain’t causation”…this time, “racist” edition:

So SL sent this over in the comments: (sadly, I can’t make it embeddable).

One dot equals one person. The color of the dot denotes race. It is zoomable….

I do see a correlation with the below maps. Draw whatever conclusion you choose to.

While, again, there is not really anything besides a bit of location correlation, one could draw the conclusion that Blacks and Hispanics are VERY…..Democratically inclined….DNC types, I mean.

It must still be all those white liberals living there that are doing the murders….

Odd. that though.

Yes, I know that “correlation isn’t causation”

But Damn! the map of murders by county and the 2016 election map by county (Blue or red voting) sure shows some interesting parallels.

Using Liberal Logic, one could assume that Democrats (or people voting for Hillary, at least) are some homicidal maniacs…..
Which, in one way, makes me wonder if that is why they so want Gun Control….they know what is in their hearts, and assume that it is in ours as well.

I’m thinking there are some cultural factors there as well, but the parallels are still there.

And here’s his payoff….

The “Book Deal” is the way wealthy  DNC types pay off their associates for doing something (or nothing) or when they are caught and have to retire…..It’s how many DNC operatives or employees have been paid off for services over the years. Wanna bet that Soros owns a large piece of the publisher?

David Hogg gets book deal. 

I wonder who wrote the book? I mean, according to the news stories he has trouble writing term papers and such.

Of course, when you are 22 and from Califronia, the writing comes easier that when you are “Seventeen”.

Doo Yoo Yahoo?

If you do, be aware the they have a new owner….and a new set of user policies. AOL too

And, essentially, they can spy on you, read your mail, look at and/or use your photos, your videos, etc. 

It’s like Google used to do with Gmail, only moreso.  Like squared.

I still have a Yahoo account, but have transitioned over the past few months to ProtonMail from my Gmail account and my Yahoo account.

I highly recommend Protonmail. They do have a free version, but the paid version isn’t that expensive. I also use ProtonVPN for a bit more privacy…..

Remember, if the service is free, then you are the product….

Gun Control

So today is also the day,  243 years ago, wherein the first attempt at Gun Control by a government in what is now the United States was attempted….

How’d that work out for ’em?

Yep, when the British Government tried to confiscate powder and shot in order to prevent the colonists from being able to resist the Colonial Governors orders and rules…The result was different than they thought it would be.

At the end of it, many on both sides were injured and/or dead….But the would-be oppressors  had learned a lesson…..The Colonists would not be trod upon lightly.

Would that our government of today remember that lesson, and prevent another Lexington or Concord with today’s modern tools.

That action 243 years ago led to a war, and a new country being formed.
If it happened today, the same things might happen, only the damage would be worse….on both sides.

Let’s try to prevent that.

Is your Church BATF(e) approved?

Remember, today is the day when, 25 years ago, the Clinton Regime (Bubba, not Hillary) burned a bunch of people to death because they had to cover the fuckups of the BATF who bungled an investigation and raid when they tried to be spectacular attention getting so they wouldn’t lose their funding.

After the opening debacle, they chose to tinhorn and call in the FBI…who, under Reno, made things worse.

Then, losing patience, on April 19th, they burned a bunch of people….and when the local Fire Department tried to arrive to fight the fire, they KEPT THEM OUT TOO, in order than all those who would defy the STATE would die…..and they nearly succeeded with all of them.

Of course, none of the ATF agents, nor the FBI boys and girls were ever jailed, nor punished to any degree for their actions.  Most were “Just Following Orders”.

And we, as citizens, just stood by and watched the Feds do it….. (Never again)

Remember that, when they tell you to Give Up Your Guns.

You’ll never get mine, nor will you ever find ’em all….

Send lawyers and money….

Was watching this story (and the GOFundME) for a few days to see if the funding rose to any decent levels. So far it hasn’t. But then I saw that Balleye’s Boomers had posted it, so I am gonna be lazy and just link to HIS STORY instead. I think her need is a good cause.

(ETA: Since some folks seem to be having issues accessing via the link, here is the actual link for Copy/Paste:  https://ballseyesboomers.blogspot.com/2018/04/a-call-for-assistance-for-heroic-woman.html )

I sent a check to her via her attorney and if you can, I’d ask you to do the same.,,,ir if it is easier for you, then do the GoFund ME. I generally dislike promoting  GoFundME fundraisers, if only because of the rake-in off the top for the folks that facilitate the fund raising….and because sometimes the fundraising goes to insane levels, making me feel like I have participated in a profit taking scheme rather than helping someone…

having said that, this time I am promoting the crowdfunding of her defense.

Personally, were someone to take and whack the shit out of the person who filed the Wrongful Death suit against her, I would be inclined to cheer them on and buy them a beer. But I’m like that….

This sort of suit SHOULD be thrown out, but often they aren’t. And the person bringing the suit is, at best, rolling the dice…No real stake, just trying for Free Money…

Donate, if you can. This could be me, or you.

You can find the defense attorney’s website HERE.
