I mean, I’ll go 8-5 that this goes sideways about 4 hours in.

Either the kids will get squirrely, or the merchants will be so frightened that they won’t be willing to serve the needs of the kids, and then the kids will protest and things will get pear shaped.

Plan to bring inner city kids to downtown: My block, my hood, my city aims to bring 1000 kids downtown.

I think that, kids being kids, young adults being what they are, that unless they are well chaperoned it ain’t gonna go well,,,,like no more than 3 or 4 kids per chaperone. I’m not saying it is a bad idea, but brining anyone, especially kids, to a new environment where they will be expected to behave differently is a recipe for missteps….and those missteps will likely reflect badly on the rest as a group. I mean, put me in a formal russian or Japanese dinner and I will likely make an ass of myself. Only add color and other cultural markers in….and kids who should, but don’t, speak decent english…and whose morals and values are somewhat different than the norm in the area….Not saying they are bad kids, nor bad people. Just that the differences in the environment from where they have been raised are great, yawningly wide and may pose an obstacle to acceptance. After all, the merchants and people downtown have very little experience in non-marauding groups of black kids 

I hope they pull it off with no issues, but I have my doubts.

Seems that the folks under arrest for the “Mass Shootings” at Independence Day parties are teenagers. While no one has said that they are black and the news media has only specified them as “Teens”, we can generally infer that if the race of the perpetrators is not identified in such circumstances, it is generally black…and since the demographics of those areas were such that a white person would stand out, we can further assume their race.

But no one is pointing out that it isn’t whites, hispanics, orientals, asisans, Pacific islanders, eskimo/idigienous people, etc. No news agency wants to identify them at all, really, but they especially won’t tell us that they are black.

Hiding the fact doesn’t man that the rest of us can’t see the issue.

The Media (both CBS and NBC at least) are complaining about Gun Violence over the Independence Day holiday…where there were more than a few mass shootings. SO far I count 21, but I may have missed some…

Yet, strangely, all the ones they have shown were of large gatherings of black citizens enjoying the festivities. They wouldn’t come out and say so, but the videos showed that exclusively….I am sure that if there had been large groups of white people shooting at each other, we would have had much (and often replayed) video of it….but all we see are crowds of black people running from the gunshots (I would not be surprised if many of the injuries were from being trampled in the stampede). Always black people. Funny, that.

Perhaps, instead of blaming the guns, and calling for greater restrictions, we should limit the size of crowds of black people…..To prevent violence of course.  ‘Cause that seems to be as great a factor in these shootings as the guns.

Do it for the children!!!!

If it Saves Just One Life…..

But, apparently not……Maybe they decided not to bother ’cause they wouldn’t like the mess that ensued if they did.

Cocaine WAS “found in a drawer” in a “Work area” of the West Wing of the White House by cleaning staff. 

Now, I’m no expert, mind you. Never did cocaine…wasn’t my thing….(But, as they say, I like how it smells….but I never inhaled….Hey, it worked for Barry the O and William Jefferson Clinton)…Seriously, I have no idea how small amounts of cocaine are packaged for street use…One would think it would be in some sort of plastic, and not a cotton bag, but what do I know? And if in a plastic baggie or other such material, then there’d be some bits of fingerprints….

If, of course, one bothered to look to find them before destroying such evidence. But they probably didn’t wanna know.

Just sayin’

Are saying that powder cocaine was found in the White House?

Bought by Hunter? Someone else? Planted by the cleaning crew?

Rumors are everywhere and scattered and nothing is solid.

Don’t touch that dial

All across the world, it is just the 4th day of July.

But here in America, it is Independence Day. (sadly, a lot of people who should know better can’t understand the difference and wish everyone a Happy Fourth of July_)

But in America today is special….

When relaxing with friends, and toasting your hot dogs and burgers..

Remember why we celebrate this day:

In Congress, July 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events……

Best part was it was a black guy doing the selling. I couldn’t do anything but laugh at the irony

He was selling ’em for $5 each.

Whut better way to do so than to spend a few hours at a gun show selling tickets for a 3 gun raffle for my local gun club?

That’s where I will be most of Sunday.

I mean, THEY (muslims) have no problem with defiling another culture’s religious or other symbols. They see no reason to get upset when a muslim destroys a thousand year old buddha statue, or any of the thousands of other defilements that htey have perpetrated in my lifetime. :Because Islam,:

But they DEMAND that their symbols be treated with respect.

And they, as individuals and as a culture go batshit crazy when someone does something like placing bacon in the pages of a Koran and burning it. I admit it is insulting, but these people go fukking insane when someone pulls a stupid stunt like that.

I know several individuals who are like that, They cannot judge their own behavior based upon how they treat others. There is only Their Way. In some ways it is arrogance, in other ways I think they are psychotic and should be considered somewhat dangerous.

So too the Muslims who riot at the tiniest perceived insult to Islam, even unto killing people for revenge. They hide it for a while, but their madness shows itself periodically. Sadly, at this point, I’m thinking anyone from that culture should be disarmed and contained, really.

Remember what led to the place you are moving from to be a shithole that you wanted to flee.

4 out of 10 Californians thinking about moving to another locale.

There’s a reason that people hate you if you move in from California.

Around here, it’s folks from Chicago. They come in, buy a home complain about the high prices, high taxes, high crime etc that made them leave,  then bitch that it isn’t like Chicago….not liberal enough, too conservative, complain about the lack of government services, the fact that they have to be somewhat self reliant (Compared to city living), etc.

We tell ’em to go back home. Often, after year or two, they do…..
