To all those Moms out there.

Mine especially.

The Climate Change Glowbal Warming Climate Disruption crowd. and the “Federal Climate Report”…Calls it a  ” and a “600 Page Litany of Doom” and a “Total distortion of the data and agenda driven, destructive episode of bad science gone beserk”

I gotta say, my bet is on Mr. Coleman.

How when someone is called out for their behavior or for their failings, if they are a member of a minority group, they immediately cry “discrimination!” rather than address the issues. Invariably, they use the fact that they are different as an excuse, and become victims.

Especially if they can use this to change the subject away from their bad behavior.

Instead of being big boys/girls and dealing with their issues.

Sad, really.

I am also reminded that stereotypes exist for a reason.

So the FBI is “investigating” the supposed incidents of the Bundy supporters pointing firearms at the Clark County Sheriff and other policemen.

Now, this might have happened. Then again, a lot of policemen get upset whenever they aren’t the only people with firearms. Most police don’t like it when mere civilians have guns…especially when  they outnumber the police. It makes them worried when they don’t have a monopoly on force….(and yes, I know a lot of good cops who aren’t that way, but a significant majority of police ARE that way).

Seems to me that if they had video of the actual “pointing of guns at officers” then that would be one thing. But I didn’t see any of that video, and I have watched just about all of the video that I can find on the “standoff”. I did see a LOT of BLM contractors with M-4 look alikes holding them in a very operational manner, and I did see one still shot and a few frames f video where a supposed Bundy supporter has a longarm pointed in the general direction of the BLM contractors (albeit about 400 yards away)….I didn’t see anyone pointing a gun of any kind in a threatening manner. Maybe you did…if so, please send me a link fr the picture or video.

Most of the video and photos I have seen are of people standing around with their firearms (both sides) ready for use but not pointed at anyone. Which is really how it should be. I would take anyone pointing a firearm at me as a hostile act, and I would expect that anyone I point a firearm at to do the same. It is NEVER ok to point a firearm at anyone you don’t wish dead….When cops do it, it is often excused, but if a civilian does it, not so much….

Having said that, I really think that this was the first time that a group of cops couldn’t intimidate the people in a crowd….and it frightened them…a lot. They want to know who these people were who are willing to stand up to police.

YMMV

ETA: I have heard that the “snipers” that were working for the BLM were surveilling the crowd with their scopes on the rifles, and others in the Bundy side took exception to that practice and returned the favor. This is all rumor, and unprovable. I wasn’t there, so I can’t comment more than this.

Via Way Up North, we have an interesting tale.

Go read it for yourself.

Me? In the absence of a “stolen gun” police report, I’d convict the shop owner. The way I see it, he sold the gun.

What say you?

Seems that Mike Rowe, of Dirty Jobs fame is giving away full boat free ride scholarships….A million dollars worth.

And he can’t give it away.

Know some young person who would like to be a mechanic? Send them his way.

Seems that there are allegations that at least one of the brothers Tsarnev was indeed known the the FBI….and that they had pressured him to become an informant.

The FBI, of course, denies that this is true.

If so (and I say IF, because we will likely never be able to prove this, one way or another), it would indicate that the FBI KNEW that he was a radical, and a danger (or at least associated with people who were a danger) to the country and its citizens.

We’d be a “danger to the State” and labeled as a crazy and a terrorists.

But in Ukraine, they are Freedom Fighters

I guess it depends on which despotic government you are preparing to fight against.
