I cannot understand the thought processes of people who, even when faced with the wrath of Mother Nature (for which they maybe, perhaps, might have tried to prepare a little) Can abandon their pets.

My household pets are like family….

I’d put them down before I would abandon them. Anything else is cruel and heartless. Leave your pet in a flood? At best it drowns quickly.  At worst, it starves slowly. Leaving your pets to this fate is inhumane.

All those who did so are unworthy of their animals love.

So, folks who should have evacuated in Houston and surrounding areas didn’t. Foolish, as we know what hurricanes do in that area, lots of history, so the areas that are now flooded have flooded before. No surprises, really.

Yes, this was pretty serious rain. But.

My question is this: The “Cajun Navy” came to help people stranded and in need of rescue. They are, as far as I can tell composed nearly exclusively of white men. And, as  far as I can see, they are rescuing folks without regard to the color of their skin, gender (real and perceived and identified) economic status, immigration status, etc.

It also appears that the other rescuers are nearly all men, and mostly white.

Where is Black Lives Matter in this? Are they doing any organized effort to help? Or are they only good for violent protests where the cops are held back? Are THEY rescuing anyone? Even Black People? Or is that up to those hated white folks?

Same with Antifa….Are they helping in any way?

Yeah, didn’t think so.

Today, I REALLY missed my dog. She’s been gone 5 years and a bit. Yet today, Oddly, for a few very hard minutes, it was like the day she passed.

Odd.

Sometimes I think I should find another dog. Then there are moments like today, and I dunno. 

But not shooting. A couple of us got together and moved some dirt to fix a drainage issue.

Since this was to be a cool and dry day (overcast in the LOW 70’s…in August!) we did a spur of the moment work party. 2 small tractors and a few folks with shovels installing some very much needed drainage conduit.

Fixing the range not only for ourselves, but for others to come.

Plus, it was fun.

But boy, am I sore this morning. I can drive the tractor and the little backhoe ok, but driving the shovel I am not used to anymore.

I was tired when we finished.

As we were packing up, one young member arrived with his 6 year old son to do a bit of shooting. Watching Dad with the kid ringing  6″ gongs at 15 yards with a .22 pistol (the kid was doing about 70% BTW) made the work and the sweat all worthwhile.

So we MUST tear it down or damage it.

I mean, Statue. White guy. Bad. Right?

Except this was a guy who died 78 years BEFORE the Civil War.  But some jerkwad cut the head off the statue of Colonel Crawford. Even though he wasn’t a Confederate.

“Oops, my bad”. Said no vandal or Leftist ever.

If they find this guy, they should incarcerate him for vandalism, and castrate him so he doesn’t pass his stupidity on to the next generation.

I didn’t win the big PowerBall jackpot,  They keep selling me the wrong tickets.

Instead it went to some undeserving soul in Massachusetts…..

Who I congratulate, BTW. Lucky bastard.  

Seems that (again) a Federal jury has failed to do the governments bidding convict some of the Bundy protesters  that were at the Bundy Ranch Standoff.

They tried to convict, and even had their pet Judge give instructions regarding testimony that prevented a great deal of evidence.

Seems the jury saw through that.  They chose not to convict on most charges despite the judge suppressing exculpatory testimony and other evidence.

“The current jury deliberated four full days after more than 20 days of testimony. The six men and six women returned no verdicts on four charges against Parker — assault on a federal officer, threatening a federal officer and two related counts of use of a firearm — and also hung on charges of assault on a federal officer and brandishing a firearm against Drexler. Navarro declared a mistrial on those counts.”


So why do the Federal Officers get to brandish firearms towards a crowd, but the crowd doesn’t get to brandish back? (I think you should NEVER point a firearms at anyone you are’t immediately ready to shoot dead right there, mind you) but there was a great deal of video, and I spoke to people I trust who were there, that claim the Federal contractors in Federal uniforms did the pointing first. Why aren’t they on trial as well? 


Anyway, they have lost twice, but the Feds have a great deal of money and a lot of attorneys and I would bet that they will try again until they win. 


But this is, indeed, a win for the forces of freedom.

Read this.…if you use Android or Google services. You might be surprised.

I had most activity turned off, but still….

Amazing how much Google knows about you. And kinda scary.

Thanks to Commander Zero


(is there another way that they do things in other countries to give credit instead of stealing content?….are customs different south of the equator?)

So Google has apparently begun terminating all google services to people whose work or writing they deem “offensive” with no recourse and no appeal. 

I use Gmail as my primary contact method for email, mainly because it works well on my Android phone.

I also have a Yahoo account, but that app has never been as clean and seamless as Gmail, and Yahoo itself may well be bankrupt soon, so I cannot depend on that either……

Can anyone suggest an Email service that has easy access from Android, that isn’t incredibly expensive, and that won’t terminate me of services because I am not Politically Correct…

Seriously, If Google shuts down my blog, well, then no one is really hurt. But if I lose my (current) Gmail account, I am totally screwed. I think I’d like another account that I won’t get cancelled on for non correct thoughts and all.

Anyone got suggestions?

Hat Tip to Angry Mike (see here is another way to give credit to the blog that you saw a certain article on….Is there a different way they do it in Texas?)
