are worth protesting when they are ended:

Here we have two black children:

Both live in Chicago.

One, Tyshawn Lee, a 9 year old boy, killed by a black man who was a rival gang member to his father. (which everyone in the community knew, just waited for the police to make an arrest….)

The other, 17 year old Laquan McDonald killed by a white police officer.

Now, Tyshawn (the 9 year old) was doing nothing, was killed because of who his father was. Shot 7 times. Executed for revenge against his daddy.

Laquan (the 17 year old) was high on PCP, vandalizing cars, and was carrying a knife in his hand when confronted by officers. refused to drop the knife, and was shot 16 times.

Protests for Laquan. Marches and vigils. ‘Cause white cop. (and excessive force, perhaps)

No protests for Tyshawn. Black man killed him, so he Don’t Matter

Odd that.

The only thing I can figure is that there are racist double standards in the black community. White police officers don’t get a pass, but black gang members do….

That you are celebrating Thanksgiving with people you care about, be that friends, or family or a combination of both. May you continue whatever traditions you have in the comfort of those you love.

Take the time to reflect, and give thanks for what you have. I have much to be thankful for, I hope you do as well.

Raise a glass to those who can’t be with friends and family because they are standing a post somewhere less comfortable than where you are.

I will.

’twas pointed out to me that the (mostly not black and mostly well educated, not street people) reporters following the (mostly black and mostly not well educated)) protesters of Laquan McDonalds  (he wasn’t a choirboy, BTW) death a year ago are surprised by their civility and by their just plain good behavior and politeness…..Much in the way that they are surprised when a scary looking pit bulldog turns out to be a nice, cuddly pet.

Good doggie.

I think it is funny. Sad, but funny.

So the IRS wants the Social Security Numbers of anyone donating to a Not for Profit organization (501-C-)…….

Except, of course for Political action groups that could influence the elections……(Wonder why they exempted those??????)

This is, I feel, an invasion of privacy, as no one needs to know who I support. It could, in fact, be used as retribution against citizens who don’t toe the party line, or whose views are not deemed correct by the current administration.

Lois Lerner has already done it, on a small scale, How would you like to have your donation to any non approved cause used to trigger an IRS audit, or other scrutiny?

Contact your Senators, tell ’em to reign in the IRS. Or your contributions to worthwhile causes will, at some point, be used against you.
Plan on it.

At least in Turkey:

US working with Turkey to cut off ISIS border smuggling route…

With a fence.

But we can’t have on on our southern border because “They won’t work”…..

Bastards. Lying Cheating Bastards.

Sadly, Barry was nowhere near Dallas today….

So teaching at another NRA First Steps course I overheard:

“Yeah, last time we let a bunch of muslims in the country in such large numbers that we couldn’t keep track of them we had 9-11…….Letting in a half million “refugees” from Syria or wherever sounds like the same thing to me…..”.

14 new shooters in the world.  14 “New Shooter Smiles”.

Payin’ it forward.

“Dude, I shot a 20 lb turkey yesterday.


Easy shot, it was just sitting there!,



Wow, I gotta say, a .50 cal muzzleloader sure is loud in the frozen food section of the Supermarket though….”

Bobby ain’t right…

Just to get off the Aloha Snackbar terror attacks for a bit….

Why there aren’t more cars with gullwing doors…
