You heard it here first….

Picture this:

Trump gets no help from the RNC bosses.

Trump gets support from voters.

Trump still gets no support from RNC. Splits with the Republican Party….

Goes third party.

Fragments the Republican/Conservative voting block.

(See also: Ross Perot in 1992..Which gave us William Clinton)

Leaving us with……..Hillary Clinton.

Interesting, ain’t it?

One wonders.

When the requirements for the job don’t even include a High School Diploma or GED.

You get the Lowest Common Denominator.

These people are too stupid to be in charge of security…..or work the line at Arby’s…

TSA stops woman for gun shaped HEELS.

Plastic shoes with gun shaped heels.

If they can’t tell the difference between plastic shoes and real firearms, then they really shouldn’t be allowed to have badges. …..They might well damage themselves badly pinning them on.

Sensationalist journalism.

Then, from 1900 to 2000, the seas rose 5.5 inches—a significant increase, especially for low-lying coastal areas. And since 1993, the rate has soared to a foot per century.


(Of course, we are supposed to believe that there are no errors in the interpretation of the data used for the previous three millenia : “a database of geological sea-level indicators from marshes, coral atolls, and archaeological sites around the world”….. Just like there are no errors in the temperature datasets from the last century )


I guess that there isn’t any funding if you don’t say that the end of the world is NOT coming tomorrow……

This is how you say it. Not like these sleazy politicians that we all know are lying anyway….

“This is Vinnie’s watch, and I want you to have it”.

Another class.

Whole bunch of new shooters, this time half of them women.

I think we created 6 new women shooters. One maybe. (Kinda still afraid, but she was at least willing to try and learn)

2 years ago we had a REAL blizzard.

2 foot of snow in a day. . Winds about 70 MPH, Temps that fell from 35 one day to -20 F 30 hours later.

Visibility was measured in FEET. Road conditions went from so-so to VERY BAD in a few tens of minutes.

(I know, I got caught in it….spent 14 hours trapped behind a line of cars between two semis that spun out and corked up both lanes in each direction slept in the truck that night……’twas an inconvenience, but really not a big deal…. hardest part was having to go outside to pee in 70 MPH/-20 degree wind.)

Hundred of people trapped due to roads being blocked by accidents and spin outs and stuck Semi trucks. Once stopped then they were drifted in and trapped.  A real mess and the weather conditions were such that being outside was really life threatening, even with winter gear.

Never heard one word on the news media. Not One One Word.  They did talk about the roads in the City not being plowed fast enough….We chalked  our minor ordeal up to winter experiences and went on…. Winter in NW Indiana….

This year, a fairly mild and short duration snowfall, with winds in the 30 MPH range, again stopped a few drivers on some roads (mostly, again, due to Semi trucks being where they shouldn’t). Temps were in the high 20’s and winds were in the 30 MPH range 7-15 inches of snow over 10 hours… Not real dangerous conditions…..

The media is going apeshit over the situation….and how the drivers were trapped for AS MUCH AS 5 HOURS.  Interviewing a bunch of people who were, at worst, inconvenienced. “I’ve lived here for many years and I’ve NEVER SEEN IT THIS BAD BEFORE…..Which is bullshit, as it happens every year. Some much, much worse.

Must be a slow news week or something.

Our ancestors traveled across the plains with horses and oxen and canvas topped wagons in weather as bad or worse….

That snow at  31 F is heavy and slippery, as compared to snow at 25F.

But it does make great snowballs.

Why is robbing a bank a Federal offense, but robbing a liquor store not?

I mean, the Bank is a private entity, same as the liquor store.

Not like robbing, say, a Post Office.

can anyone explain?

‘Cause a few inches of snow can shut down everything….

SO we got, in total, depending where you were, somewhere between 6 and 15 inches.

Lots and lots and LOTS of blowing snow.

Some drifting, but not that much. (‘Twas too heavy, for the most part, to drift)

And the Sheriff called a “State of Emergency”. Roads are closed for non emergency vehicles.(except snowplows)

For a foot of snow.  Big deal that a semi jacknifed on a State road. Some cars were trapped behind it. For (gasp) 2 hours!. Hadda be rescued bu the Fire Personnel. (2 years ago, over a hundred were trapped. We spent 16 hours ’til they cleared the wreck (s).  No “rescue”.  (Of course, we were only one group of many that year). This year, cars  trapped for an hour or two are news.

Last year, conditions were worse 10 or more times. No state of ‘mergency. We called it “Winter”

‘Twas slick and windy and poor visibility. Was winter. Happens every year.

The sad part is that our OFFICIALS panicked.   Shut everything down. For a foot of snow over 12 hours.


Over a (relatively) small and short lived winter storm.
