Congress isn’t doing it…

The courts aren’t doing it.

How do we reign in this out of control despot that ignores our Constitution and our way of governing?

When is enough, enough? When will we stop it?

Why have we, as citizens been afraid to try and stop him? Wyy do we let him get away with breaking the rules set forth in the Constitution and usurping powers reserved for the Congress and Senate? Why do the houses of Congress allow this?

Even major mainstream publications are asking this.

You should be asking this too. of your friends and neighbors….

Everyone should be afraid of this. Liberal and Conservative alike. The destruction of the Constitution is a really bad idea, no matter whose agenda is moved forwards in the doing so.

No, really, he does. He wants you to have a Happy Thanksgiving

This will likely make people like your Brother-in-Law (who likely doesn’t want to be there with your family anyway) very happy with you….which isn’t a Bad Thing if he is a progressive, but will not make him very happy if his a a Conservative.

Of course, you could go all the way (Hey, if yer gonna make an already irritated Brother-In-Law go nuts, you might as well go all the way…..) and tell him that he HAS to take a double serving of cranberries even if he doesn’t like them, cover them with gravy even if he doesn’t want to (rules are rules, even when they make no sense), and charge him for the privilege. Say a hundred bucks. If he wants more, make it $150….explain that the “rich” need to pay their fair share…..

Then, of course, to really end the evening well, give him the entire DNC treatment: take 1/3 of everything he puts on his plate as a ‘Tax” (this also includes his liquor) and give it to someone else…preferably someone he doesn’t know. maybe a homeless guy waiting outside,,,

 Charge him 60% of his dessert as a “luxury”. Even more if he wants a second helping

Only do this, of course, if you are brave….or at someone else’s house.

Follow and read the links.

All of them.

Find out what the NSA really wants to do…..

If you aren’t angry by the time you are done, then you are truly a sheep.
Never say anything on the telephone or in any electronic communication that you don’t want overheard, copied and possibly disseminated to others.

Ever.

If you don’t wish to be tracked: Leave your cell phone at home….Not turn it off, but leave it at home.

If you use a burn phone (I don’t, not worth the trouble)), NEVER have it on at the same time as your main phone…if possible, never have them in the same area. Keep them a mile or more apart.

You can consider email, encrypted or not, to be as private as a postcard.

The only reasonably secure communications are those done face to face, far from any electronic devices.  Like in the middle of a field or a cabin in the woods.

I really don’t have much to hide, so I don’t worry about that which I cannot control. But if you do, or if you have communications you wish to be private, then never use any electronic form of communication.

It’s that simple.

Seems that the official report on the events at Sandy Hook Elementary School is being delayed.

Oddly, the State Police are witholding the evidence that they have from the state Prosecutor.

Isn’t that interesting?

add this to the fact that the school was razed, and that none of us have seen any photos, video stills, or videos from the school on the day that Adam Lanza supposedly went on his spree……Despite the fact that the school had just installed a half million dollar surveillance system.

Not one photo, not one second of video, not a single video still.

I, and others, find that odd. Don’t you?

Now if Adam Lanza or the school principal were running for office as a Republican…..

Today is DB Cooper day

I doubt that he made it, but if he did my hat is off to him.

That $200,000 in 1971 would equal $1,153,773.87 today.

Hope he enjoyed it.

Can anyone explain to me exactly what happened in the deal with Iran regarding their nuclear program?

As far as I can see in the reports, there are no guarantees, no methods to keep them from enriching uranium. No destruction of the equipment that they already have to make bomb grade material.

And for giving us *nothing but promises* that we have little way to enforce, they get access to all that money we had tied up that they couldn’t use, and for a promise to do nothing for 6 months, we remove some trade sanctions.  We all know how much their promises are worth.

I’ll predict now that in 6 months they will have violated the terms of the “agreement” and will have resumed enriching uranium to beyond the 5% enrichment level needed to make reactor fuel, and will be moving towards 90% bomb grade levels….and all of those centrifuges will be operating again.

But they’ll have 6 or 7 BILLION dollars more to play with.

And we and the rest of the world will have nothing. Except the fear that Jihadist madmen are a few steps closer to having easily transportable weapons of mass destruction.

Thanks Mr Kerry. Good negotiating.

You ass.

Or, to put it another way, 1 in 45W vs 1 in 8B

WTF am I talking about?

That is the percentage or ratio of people on welfare. 1 in 8 black people are on welfare, vs 1 in 45 white people.

Now, make no mistake, there are nearly as many white people on welfare as black people. But there are a lot more white people in this country, so as a percentage, the difference is if not frightening, at least impressive….and significant…..and, at least to me, frightening.

Read. Read the whole thing.

Draw your own conclusions.

I figured that since nearly everything I do, say or point out shows that I am a racist (according to some) that I have no reason not to post this observation.

I’d like to know, however, why pointing out failures, or bad behavior, or lack of class or adherence to the social contracts and such like is racist. Why expecting people, no matter what their race, to behave and to try to excel is racist. Why expecting the best from people is racist….Why not making excuses for them is racist.

Why?

Isn’t it even more racist and condescending to expect that people with an African ancestry can’t be civilized? That they can’t compete in the economic and social market? Isn’t lowered expectations for some racial groups even more racist and demeaning? To say that because you are darker than me you should be coddled and that we should make excuses for your behavior because we can’t expect you to be civilized because you have an excess of melanin compared to others in this country?

Oh, and taking the raw numbers at their face value, the total number of PEOPLE on welfare is frightening. And it doesn’t reflect well on our current government and their policies either.

So yesterday I had a business acquaintance ask me what I was doing Saturday (today) morning…

I replied that I was teaching an NRA course at my local range.

“I hear you can make a LOT of money doing that” he said.

“Nope, we do it for a very low price…the cost of the course materials only… and the instructors work for free.”

“Why waste a Saturday if you don’t get paid?” he asked.

I left as soon as I could. Not worth the time to explain to him that by teaching others for only the cost of the materials, I am paying back all those people who took the time 20-30-40 years ago to teach me, and set my feet on the path I walk today.

He’d not understand that I still owe a debt to some of those people….many of whom are dead of old age by now …So all I can do is pay it forward….continue the legacy. Honor their time by investing my own in the future.

He’ll not understand. And that is why he and I will never be friends.

*ETA: 24 new shooters and 3 old men who showed up looking for entertainment.  Class was 50 50 men and women, more or less. Several mother/daughter groups.

About half will take more training, most learned that firearms aren’t evil, bad,or dangerous all by themselves.I think everyone enjoyed themselves. A fair percentage will end up owning a firearm.

 24 “New Shooter Grins”…. I got paid. And I paid it forward.

Yeah…. another wasted Saturday.
