So in Syracuse NY, a 10 year old was caught shoplifting a bag of chips….The claim is that the cops “Terrorized” the kid. 

The cops were called and he was placed in the back of a police car and taken to his mother’s house. .

The neighborhood was, of course, outraged.

Thing is, had Mom (and Dad, if he exists) taught him not to steal, he’d not be there.

The folks in the neighborhood were, of course, outraged. Must be the cops were racist or something. “It was only a petty crime”…”Just a bag of chips…”

The Brooklyn Subway Shooter has disappeared from the headlines.

I guess since he wasn’t a white man, wasn’t a “racist” redneck, wasn’t a Trump supporter, they’d rather he just disappear….

Towards cancelling student debt.

Fucking weasels.

Today, in 1775, colonists chose to stand up and say “NO!” to the King of England’s administrators….and the army which enforced their rules.

They chose not to be disarmed, not to allow their powder and shot and cannon to be confiscated, and to fight the authority that thought that it was OK to take it. To lose their means to resist. They chose, instead, to keep that means to resist, to defend what was theirs, to have the ability to continue to say “Enough!” to the authorities.

They stood, and fought. While I doubt those colonists wanted a war, they were presented with the choice to either have a war, and stand as free people, or to knuckle under and be serfs. They chose the former.

From their actions that day began the birth of the country that became the United State of America. Like most births, there was blood and pain and mess….but birth a new nation they did.

Sending the soldiers of the King away in defeat, hounding them back to their barracks, sent a message that the colonies would not be ruled from afar, would not be taxed to ruin by a monarch from across an ocean, and would instead choose their own destiny.

That battle that began on Lexington Green…. happened 247 years ago today, in 1775.

Parker’s words at Lexington Green: “Stand your ground. Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.”

Good words then, and good words today.

Seen along Rt 45 in downstate Illinois:

Well played, Boy Scouts, Well played.

(yeah, I know, what a surprise)

Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren demands a criminal investigation into Jared Kushner getting $2billion investment from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman six months after leaving the White House

Yet there is no outcry against Then VP Biden working to pressure the Ukrainian government to remove prosecutors that were investigating the energy  firms, nor his his son getting paid insane amounts of money from businesses in Ukraine, China and other countries for doing nothing….except getting his dad to help with pressure and influence.

Moved the plane to Fort Wayne the other day. (just a short turnaround flight).

Upon landing, was told to turn off the runway and “Follow the A-10’s”.

Which I did.

(Air National Guard based at Fort Wayne, 122nd Fighter Wing, “Blacksnakes”).

It was fun watching them take off. I need that kind of power (and maneuverability) in my plane.

I tried video, but it sucked as I was too busy taxiing the airplane, so still photos is all I got.

You know, just in case there might be a sudden outbreak of “Arkancide”

So it seems that Mr. Sussman is gonna stand trial for Lying to the FBI about the supposed connections of Candidate Trump to the Russian government, (personally, I think everyone who was involved should pay for the investigation costs, including the Impeachment and the Mueller report) and for lying about the fact that he was representing the Clinton Campaign when he did so.

Now, he is in a bind. If he lies on the stand, he will go to jail….if he tells the truth, he implicates Hillary and her supplicants and supporters….which is not known to be good for one’s health.

There is a history of folks who suddenly have “health” issues, fatal ones, when they can compromise Hillary (and Bill) and were I Mr. Sussman, I’d make sure my Life Insurance was in order (and that there was a pile of evidence with a Deadman switch on it……)

Just sayin’ If he “Has an accident”  or “commits suicide” or in any way his health takes a sudden turn towards Terminal, then be suspicious….very, very, suspicious.

But all the headlines read essentially the same:

“video shows Michigan cop fatally shooting black man”

Why does his race matter? He was driving a car with plates that did not match the car. (Either stolen plates or stolen car?) and then ran, fought, and tried to take the policeman’s Tazer…..the cop was trying to subdue him, to take him into custody WTHOUT lethal force……I really think that had the man been white he would have been treated the same way had he acted the same.

But all the press can say is “Cop shot a BLACK MAN“.

Enough of this race baiting. The headline should, instead, read “Cop shot man who fought him and tried to escape while resisting arrest after lawful stop”….But that headline won’t sell many papers, will it?

Don’t wanna get shot? Here is a lesson in what NOT to do:

Don’t drive a car where the plates don’t match the car.

Don’t exit the car when told not to

Don’t try to run.

Don’t fight the officer when he catches you.

Above all, don’t do illegal things.

Those who do the above, generally greatly increase their chances of being shot. It really doesn’t matter what hue your epidermis is…….And those who DON’T do the above things generally don’t get shot, no matter what race you are or where your ancestors came from.

(and if you have a warrant, deal with it …if you don’t want the cops to arrest you after being stopped….).

No, really, they barely have mentioned it at all.

A federal jury failed to convict four men accused of plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Funny how in the weeks before the election the Media couldn’t stop mentioning the fact that these men had been arrested for the (supposed) plot…but now that the election is over it barely gets even a mention at all. And they kept trying to link these folks to Trump voters somehow…..

Funny, that, innit?

Of course, like most of these so called Militia movements where the FBI claims to have uncovered some plot, it is usually one Federal agency informing on another Federal Agency….

Plus pre election propaganda.

If you can’t see that you are blind, and possibly dumber than a fish bobber.
