The really sad part

about this whole attempt at obfuscation and delay until after the midterm electons deamnd for an FBI investigation is that we are expecting the FBI to do an impartial investigation, without letting politics interfere……which, sadly, we can no longer believe might happen….not since the whole pre election failure of the FBI to do any real investigation on Hillary Clinton, and the post election antics (supported by FBI management) of Peter Strozk and his compatriots and other incidents that have thrown the while Fidelity,Bravery, INTEGRITY, motto of the FBI into doubt.

Neither side will ever believe, at least not in your or my lifetime, that there is any reason to believe that the FBI will be impartial in any evidence gathering about such a politically charged allegation with such powerful consequences.

I have known several FBI agents. Most were not the sharpest knives in the drawer….not steely eyed lawmen, but they were honest, decent, thorough investigators, who ferreted out and reported FACTS.

Sadly, not so anymore. Those agents have retired years ago, and I have no doubt that they were embarrassed by the actions of the current FBI agents (and, apparently, FBI management) in the events before and after the election of 2016. 

Will either side be willing to believe that the investigation onto Kavanaugh and Ford was conducted without an agenda? I can’t honestly say that it will be.

What say you? 

Just to stir trouble:

Forget Chevy vs Ford (Dodge, actually, is the correct answer, BTW)

Forget GLOCK Vs 1911 (Y’all know my answer to that one).

The real question we have here today, the one that matters,  the one that chooses where you stand, what your lifestyle is, the one that makes us all take sides in life and choose our friends and all that….The one that defines WHO YOU ARE and WHAT YOU STAND FOR….:

Creamy or Crunchy peanut butter? Smooth or chunky?

I’m withholding revealing my choice at this time, but please, feel free to say your preference in comments.

Triggered….

I’m still not sure if she really felt threatened or if she was just trying to make trouble….or was truly batshit.

So I am in Home Depot shopping for supplies for an improvement project at the shooting range this weekend…..

My shopping list is on the back of a used NRA 50 foot Slow Fire pistol target (hey, I needed paper, and if there is one thing that a range has plenty of, it is used targets, right?)

This woman is walking down the aisle, sees the target and asks if it is a “gun target”.

“Yes, ma’am.”. I reply.

“Are those BULLET HOLES!!!!(eleventy)?”

“Yes, Ma’am”….”it’s a used target…..recycling you know”…

She actually complained to management…that I (or the target, at least) made her feel “unsafe”… Who were very unsupporting of her “feelings” (and polite to me),  but who did assist me in finding everything on the list to get me (and really, I think, her) out of the store as quickly as possible.

I was tempted to ask her if the fact that I was carrying a pistol under my shirt was important to her, but the poor employees at Home Depot were stressed enough from dealing with her, so I didn’t let her know…although it would have been fun to see if her head exploded from anxiety or something……. Plus that could be taken as “brandishing”, so I didn’t……

But really…A paper target makes one feel threatened? 

50 BILLION

So in the last weeks of fiscal 2017, assorted government agencies spent the last money in their budgets.

50 Billion dollars. In less than 2 weeks. If they don’t spend the money, they lose it. So they spend it.

Fifty Billion in arcade games, unneeded autos, shuffleboards, advertising, Fidget spinners and paddleboards.

Even TheDonald’s office flushed their budget before they lost it.

Remember that next time they claim budget cuts will destroy their ability to do their jobs.
