Do you use google?

Do you like your privacy.?

It may be that the two (google and privacy) are incompatible.

Big Brother is watching.

Read the story on this dude.ETA: More details HERE.

Think. All his shit is gone. Everything he owned. All of it. He got the shaft by his local police, prosecutor and courts, and then again by his landlord.(Not to mention his neighbors).

It could be one of us that gets screwed.

I read about this a week ago, but had no way to find him to send him a little cash to help. But someone else has done the homework, and therefore I do have an address. I’m gonna give the guy just a little bit of help. And if you can, I’m gonna urge you to do the same.

I’m putting a couple of “Jacksons” in the mail tomorrow. If enough of us do so, it’ll be a nice foundation to help this guy get a better start. I urge you to do the same. $20 will likely not break you, but enough of those and he’ll be able to find a place, buy some clothes, and maybe even get a job….Start his life over…Hire a good attorney to sue the landlord, the DA, and maybe even the other folks in the car which caused the whole start of his troubles.

Or perhaps some dude to kick the DA repeatedly in the nuts. Maybe two guys.

Go, read all the links, then, if you can, send a bit of cash…

of people having their priorities screwed up.

Folks rioting over shoes again. 

Take a look at the people in the video. Few, if any are likely to have jobs. Fewer yet can likely afford $220 dollar shoes. (unless they are selling crack or something).

Think these folks will be rational and civilized if and when?  Think you can appeal to their better nature? Think they’ll “respec’ ” your property rights? Think they’ll “axe” you for some of your stuff, or think they’ll just try to take it?

Have a plan. Be able to defend what you have, so you can have it. Else folks like this will take it and step on you on the way out.

And lest you think I am racist, take a look at the very mixed crowd. It ain’t about race, but about culture.

Seriously, I did.

Sorta…

I had looked at a 1874 Sharps reproduction in 45-70 with Soule sight at the Valpo gunshow, but the seller and I couldn’t find common ground on price. I thanked him for his time and walked away….One of my friends who was with me at the gunshow gave him my cell number and told him I was interested, and if he changed his mind to call me…

He did so several days later and agreed to sell me the Sharps at the last offer I had made.

So today, I picked the rifle up and paid him for it in a parking lot. He didn’t want to tell me where he lived and he didn’t want to come all the way to my home, so we met in a town and did the deal.

So yeah, I did buy a sniper rifle (in its day) for cash…in a parking lot. I hope the Brady folks heads explode at the thought that this could (and did) happen….

Anyone have any 45-70 ammo that they aren’t using? It goes stale ya know….

I’m gonna have fun working up loads and (likely) learning to cast the big bullets that this gun will eat….I’m gonna have to reload so I can afford to feed it.

Maybe I can learn to shoot things at “One thousand yards” with it…..

Sadly, even the economists and other “experts” say I was right.

Look: this is basic economics. More dollars means that each dollar is worth less. We have NOTHING to back up the paper that we, as a nation, print. Look at the price of oil (in dollars) vs the cost in gold. It isn’t oil that is going up, it’s the dollar going down.

And the market is seeing this, and responding.

Were it not for the fact that the oil producing middle east countries continue to price crude oil in dollars, we’d be even farther in the shitter.

Expect things to go even farther downhill as the world realizes that:

A. They don’t need or want the dollar as long as we have ever increasing deficits
and
2. We aren’t, in the near term, going to be fixing our financial issues as we continue the slide towards a Greece-like economy.
and
III. China stops buying our bonds as they deal with their own economic issues.
and
D: Gold is the only safe place to park your wealth
and
5. The price of oil, which is dependent on demand vs supply, will go up as the demand for fuel increases in the summer, and will likely go even higher this winter….
and
VI: Our current administration doesn’t want to do anything to promote domestic supply sources, forcing us to use an ever-increasing portion of the dwindling world supply of oil.

Expect even higher food prices, and an increasingly damaged US economy as prices for everything go up as a result of increased fuel cost….Consumers will have less to spend on other things besides transportation and food, so they’ll spend less on other goods, further damaging the economy.

And if OPEC chooses to take other currencies as a peg for the price of gold, our dollar plummets…like a pigeon having been handed a watermelon. With the same result, at the end.

Bet on it.

Prepare for it.

Figure out how to ride the storm out. It might be a long one.

Is a…well, a Dick.

And an asshole. And arguably the worst example of a GOP insider that you can find. I would not object if someone beat him senseless. (not that I am encouraging anyone to do so, that would be illegal…and I would hate to see anyone go to jail over him, he ain’t worth it)

I urge any subject constituent of his to vote for anyone but him.

We might not get anyone better (and likely won’t) but at least we will get rid of Dick.

And that cannot be a bad thing.Worst case we get a different flavor of asshole.

We can always vote his replacement out next term, if need be.

and rightly so.

Pissed posted this.

Pissed is right. If we had a GOP guy suggest that all of us white people band together and vote to get a white guy into office, the hue and cry would be loud and vicious. The press would crucify the guy. And rightly so.

But I bet you won’t hear anything about it from the MSM. No bias there.

Or at least twisting the truth.

The fact is that anyone in the US has access to “health care”. Few have it freely given to them.

You can get health care….You just (generally) don’t get it for free. It is accessible for nearly everyone.

You don’t get cars for free, or bus passes. You don’t get hamburgers for free (unless you are on EBT or other government programs). You can get food free from food pantries if they think you qualify.

You don’t get clothes for free, unless you get the giveaways from charities.

If you are a liar part of the protected class, you can get a cell phone for free (paid for with our tax dollars).

The employed folks get health insurance as part of their compensation. It isn’t “free”… they have to work to get it (unless you are a government worker, then sometimes the “work” is loosely defined….but I digress…. )

My point is that no-one is denied access to health care, it just isn’t (generally) given to you freely. Like most things in life, you have to earn it…either as compensation from your employer or purchased on the open market.

Same with Birth Control. You know, that hot button topic for 99.768% of American women.

No one stops you from purchasing birth control. No one stops you from having an abortion. However, you shouldn’t get that for free either. And I like the fact that it is hidden as “Wymyns Health Issues” rather than what it is…birth control. Who says all these things should be free? Where is your enumerated right to get these things given to you?

I am all for Birth Control. I think it is a good thing. But there is no “right” to free birth control. Nor any other medication. No right to cold medicine, nor high blood pressure medicine, nor asthma medicine, nor drugs to help you with palsy or epilepsy, or for hair loss or erectile dysfunction. Sorry you have a problem. If you do, and your insurance plan covers it, more power to you. But realize that your employer and your fellow employees are paying for it. It isn’t FREE.

There is a difference between stopping you from being able to access or purchase something, and not GIVING it to you. Just because you don’t get free birth control and abortion on demand does not mean that anyone wants to enslave you, or to sew your “Hoo-Ha” shut. No one is forcing you to subjugate yourself to a man or any of the other rhetoric bullshit.

It.  Just.  Isn’t.  Free.

What is next? Is the fact that I don’t supply you with broadband at your home equated to “I don’t want you to surf the internet”? Is the fact that I don’t give you unlimited gasoline equated to “I don’t want you to drive”? If I don’t put food in your mouth equated to “I want you to starve to death”?

No one is supplying me with free hookers and booze, so I guess no one wants me to have any fun or be happy. And no one is giving you ladies chocolate-dipped strawberries and champagne and a massage, so I guess that the government doesn’t want you to be happy. It’s all the same logic.

No ONE is keeping you from accessing your birth control. What they ARE doing is preventing someone else (the federal government) from mandating that you get it for free. If you can get your employer to pay for it, fine, if not, then you get to choose. Pay for it yourself, or find an employer who will pay for it.

The leftists twist the meaning in an attempt to make you agree with them. They like stirring you up with words and phrases which have a high emotional content for certain groups. And many of your sisters are falling for it. They are using you to further their agenda. If they can get enough emotional women dancing around and screaming “keep your hands off my body!” then they cloud the issue.

Be smarter. Look beyond the words and see the meaning.

’cause otherwise you are a fool, and a tool and just plain idiot. Think. Don’t let anyone lead you with high emotion words and phrases. Don’t be a tool.

Because those kinds of people make me want to whack them on the kneecaps with a ball peen hammer. Just for being stupid.

This is how the fed could have handled the banking crisis.

I’d move there except that I hate cold and I don’t like fish that much.

The scenery is, I am told, nice though.

 I like my dentist. He and his staff are good people, easy to trust, always explain before performing a procedure, fun people with a good sense of humor. We get along, which is why I go back.

Usually.

So I am at the dentist’s office. I go through the whole ringamarole, telling him why I am there, we do the exam, the x-ray, decide that we need to fill the cavity….

Shoot me up with Novocaine wait while it takes effect, etc.

So there I am in the chair, with a dental technician in attendance. Bite block in place, sucky hissy gurgling tube thingy keeping me from drowning in drool.

He enters the room, picks up the drill and mirror, leans in and says

“Where” “Are” “The” “Diamonds?”

Now understand, I am old enough to have seen Marathon Man in the theater when it first came out.

For just a moment, had I had a piece of coal in between my buttcheeks, I could have produced a diamond. Likely a really really good one.

As the moment passed, and he didn’t drill into my front tooth, and I released my clench upon the bite block, I thought about killing my dentist slowly….

I was glad, however, that I had used the restroom just prior to entering his office.

I reached up, removed the bite block and said “Louie: Not. Funny”.

He laughed. I laughed, still trying to figure if I would ever get my shorts out of my asshole.

The little 20 something dental assistant had No Idea what we were talking about.
