Moving the white stuff

We got about 18 inches of fluffy white stuff last night….plus drifts.

So I spent the morning moving Global Warming off of my and my neighbor’s driveways with the tractor.

Plus pulling a snowplow out of a snowbank.

My next door neighbor has a new blade for his 4 wheeler, and together, we can clear and clean up a driveway pretty well. Brute force with the tractor, and precision with his little 3′ X 14″ blade. I ain’t precision, and I gotta be careful ’cause I can do real damage. I move the bulk, he makes it pretty.

How long??

I mean, Biden is already talking about a ban on “Assault Rifles” and other restrictions on gun owners and Second Amendment issues….

We should start a pool on when there will be a mass Shooting Event featuring “AR-15 style” rifles and “High Capacity Magazines”. There will be, you can bet on it. THe question is When and How Many.

I’ll take a square for Mid April. 33 shot.

It is odd that there have been none (at least none hyped/publicized/sensationalized by the media) in the last few years….they all had the BLM (Mostly Peaceful) protests and other “Racial Inequities” to sensationalize and stir the population up about instead. But now that the election is over and they need to try to get rid of guns and demonize gun owners……

Place your selections in comments.

It’s a long-ish article.

But it is worth the read:

We actually have to actually earn equal status

Every other demographic succeeds and does not have a bunch of white Liberals making excuses for them. Even immigrants who have african in their ancestry succedd more than native born Black people. I, like the author, think it is the culture …one of failure and excuses, that makes Black people fail to succeed, rather than “Raciss” whites.

But then again, I  (and my family and most of my friends and acquaintances)  worked hard to succeed and no one made any excuses for my failures and setbacks, so that might be racism in iself.

Note to the Dems:

We were using the term “Margin of Fraud” before Donald trump even RAN for President.

The phrase “Vote Early, Vote Often” and “Where the Dead arise to vote” hs been reality in Illinois since I was in elementary school….

So don’t give me that bullshit about the “False Narrative” from Trump about voter fraud engendering the “violence at the Capitol”…

Really good advice for my readers in the south:

If you rarely drive on snow, just pretend you’re taking your grandma to church. There’s a platter of biscuits and 2 gallons of sweet tea in glass jars in the back seat. She’s wearing a new dress and holding a crock pot full of gravy. @KevinHarned @BGoodeWAVE3

 

 

Yes, it is from 2018, but it is still true today.

Or even better: Just stay the hell home and that way you won’t damage your car, yourself, or anything or anyone else. You southern types (mostly) really just can’t drive in ice and snow, so don’t try…..

We have the same sort of carnage (to a lesser degree),  the first really slippery day here in the north until people remember to slow down and leave more space in front of them….

after a week of thinking about it….

So I figure that the advertising on the Sooper Bowl….

Is giving me a good bit of direction as to where I will spend my money:

I sure as hell ain’t gonna be with any of those “woke” companies who did those “woke” commericals.

They, obviously, have different attitudes towards the country, the citizens, and the culture than I do. Why should I support them? Why should I buy their products? I’d rather not give then any profits that they could give to organizations and groups that I oppose.

Lots of folks ready to take my money. All they have to do, most of the tie, is produce a product and not make me angry….

Price gouging

Remember back when…when the pandemic/Covid -19 panic happened and people had a hard time finding hand sanitizer and the price for it shot up? Remember the screaming about “Price Gouging” by the Liberals? There were, in fact, criminal charges brought against some folks who cornered a supply and profited from their wisdom. There were attempts to control the price of sanitizer legislatively….

So where are those folks today? Where are the cries of Price Gouging for ammunition? I mean, prices are high, and some folks have made a killing, having bought large supplies early and now selling them at a great profit. Where is the charges of Price Gouging? I don’t see any attempt to legislate the price of ammo by our legislators….(and I hope we don’t, either, for any items)

Yes, prices are high. We know that. We also know why….a relatively inelastic supply and a rising demand…..Economics 101. Same thing happened with Hand Sanitizer…But the the Liberals cried and the governments jumped in….why not this time?

(By the way, it is easy to make your own sanitizer…..(and ammo, if you are prepared) yet all these liberals whined because they couldn’t buy Purell at cheap prices…..)

Acquitted

So, the Senate has (as expected) acquitted Donald J Trump of “Incitement to insurrection”. (which was a Bullshit charge…)

 

I expect that the vote was more or less along party lines. (have you ever noticed how the Dems almost always vote with their party?)

At least this travesty is over.

Got this from someone who was there

He suggested that I might find it enlightening. Perhaps you might as well….

Watch…spend 11 minutes:

 

And next time you meet a Vet, say “Thank You”.

I do. You should as well.

 

To all our Vets, Pecetime or Wartime, Combat or Support, Land, Sea, or Air: Thank you.
