Starved to death:

If I tie a dog up, with no food and no water, is that a crime???? Is that cruelty?

So what if I take a baby, leave him and fail to feed him and let him die…..Am I guilty of murder?

Manslaughter?

Depraved indifference?

That is, after all, what the British National Institute of Health did to Alfie Evans. 
They, after deciding he was too costly to try to keep alive, took him off of life support.

He kept breathing on his own.

So they got the courts to order that he not have food or water.

He died.

Now, from a pure dollars and cents perspective, this was the right thing.

That money could have gone to pay for many other things.

And little Alfie was’t gonna ever get better. I think we all understand that.

But the British Medical folks failed him. And the Italians offered to take him in and care for him….at no cost…

The British courts, instead said he had to die. And they made it happen. And his parents were helpless to stop it. Because the State’s servants had force, and were many, and the family had none, and were few.

Things like this are why we need our Second Amendment. The minions and servants of the State would not have prevented MY child from being moved to a place where he could have gotten care, even if it were simply supportive….if that was the future I chose for the child. Simply trying to stop the transport of a child to where he could get care would be grounds for injury or death. “Just Following Orders” doesn’t cut it. I don’t care how many folks were injured or shot in the attempt to stop me, the kid would get to where he could get care.

It is possible that letting Alfie Evans die was the most humane treatment. If so, the State should have euthanized him, not starved him to death. And, really, shouldn’t that be the decision of his parents, not some faceless Bureaucrat?

So the question occurred to me:

Apparently Special Prosecutor Mueller ordered a raid for “evidence” of Michael Cohen’s office…(In case you don’t know, he was the current President’s personal attorney).

Now, Mueller is supposed to be investigating “Russian Collaboration” in the election. (Personally, I have seen more evidence of election interference on the DNC side, but that isn’t what he is “Investigating”) But what appears to be happening is that he is casting a broad net in order to find any crime he can, real or imagines, that anyone even close to the President may have committed…even if that “crime” is giving slightly inconsistent testimony.

So what justification is there for Mr. Cohens’s office to be raids, his files examined by a team of investigators….What, exactly, is Mueller’s team looking for???….I believe that that should be stated.

Or is it as I suspect, simply a digging expedition?

Now, the one really neat thing that results from this is that Soros’s girl, Stefanie Clifford, can’t continue her lawsuit for 90 days because of the Cohen investigation. (She looks pretty hard and nasty, not sweet and dignified, when she is angry at being thwarted, doesn’t she?)….
I still wonder who is paying her bills these days……

So….mayybe not so bad

Seems that there is dissent in the “Consensus” of scientists c;aiming glowbal Armageddon from the heat death of the world due to climate change….

Some folks say, surprisingly, that the models are incorrect, and the change won’t be as bad as predicted. 

Odd, that. The rest of us, not dependant on income from Climate research funds, have been saying that for years…..Pointing out that most of the models, even when fed random numbers, still give global temperatures that rise year over year….And that, when fed good data from historical climate observations, cannot predict our climate today…

But, as I’ve said before, there is no money to be made, no grants to be had, no living wage to come from a prediction that”all is well, Carry on.”.

And, especially, no graft. 

See, I’m not the only one

That thought that the whole Starbucks incident was a setup.

That those two men CHOSE to get arrested.

That they chose to sit there, and when they weren’t noticed….when no one cared, they asked to sue the restroom.

Then, after making SURE they were  noticed, refused to buy anything. (Hey, thought the dude needed to use the restroom…..yet he just sat there, despite needing to do the needful just moments ago….)

Then, after being asked to either buy something or leave, they both chose to do nothing. Just sat there, refusing to leave.

Then, the cops came, and again, offered them the chance to leave. They chose to be arrested.

And I’m not the only one that noticed and wondered…. WHY? 

Let that be a lesson:

So Bill Cosby was found guilty today…of sexual assault. 

Now, I don’t know if he did it, or not.

I do know that these allegations all surfaced AFTER he became an outspoken critic of the liberal “Hip-Hop” black lifestyle.

Odd timing that.

Lots of people lined up to get him for daring to speak out in criticism. The liberals (and especially BLACK liberals), sharpened their knives.

And when the State couldn’t prove their case the first trial, they tried him again until they could find a jury that WOULD find him guilty……especially after they prevented his defense from presenting evidence. Even liberal attorneys seem to think that his case will be reversed on appeal.

One might think that the liberal establishment was simply out to get him for his comments….and if they can’t get him into jail, they were happy to trash the reputation of an elderly man and cost him large money in his trial. 

The beast that is Socialism:

See Charlie Gard for one example.

See Alfie Evans for another.

Are these children not deserving of any attempt to save their life?

If they were animals, then we’d put them down out of humaneness…

But they aren’t animals.

But the beast that is Socialism, exemplified by the courts representing the State, would not let the parents pursue even last chance, likely useless, attempts to save their children.

No, they must dies in the arms of the State Medical Care.

So decrees the State.

Now, on the one hand, it is likely that Alfie Evans will not survive, no matter what treatment is given.

On the other, the State has decreed that its chosen representatives have the right to decide how, and in what manner, and when these children are treated.

If ever there is an example of why we should dismantle ObamaCare, this is one. Creeping Statism. It is my belief that this was the end game of ObamaCare’s adherents…….the furtherance of Statism….

And if ever there is a reason for the Second Amendment the case of Alfie Evans (and Charlie Gard) is an example.

My child would be taken from those who declare he must die…and he would be taken to where I, as a parent, chose to take him for care. …..The number of the Minions of the State who would take damage be damned.

Say a prayer for Little Alfie and his parents. 

Next time they want a cake….

Point ’em to this:

New York judge rules bar didn’t overstep bounds in bouncing Trump backer

So, at one end of the country, businesses have to respect the beliefs of the customers, even when they find it offensive….Like baking a cake for a gay couple….

But in New York, political beliefs are not protected…at least then it comes to Trump supporters.

When will liberals realize that what is good for the goose is sauce for the gander?

I mean, next election cycle (or the one after that) they will likely have a candidate that is reviled by a great number of people….and in the Midwest, they will likely (now) be discriminated against. When the next bunch of liberals can;t get a meal in some small town, or some dude can’t get a drink or a room in West Virginia wearing an Obama hat because the coal mines were shut down by Barry….will they sue? Will justice be the same for them that is was for this dude?

Or is only SOME speech and/or beliefs protected?

Gee what a surprise:…..

“There is a fear that with basic income they would just stay at home and play computer games,”

At least they are smart enough to stop when it becomes apparent that it isn’t working….unlike OUR liberals….

Finland to stop program of Universal Basic Income because it simply doesn’t work….. “and is actively taking measures to cut benefits to those who do not seek employment”.

(seems that they would have to raise taxes by OVER 30% ….



At the end of it all, I believe the proponents of UBI simply want runaway inflation to devalue the savings of those of us who work and save and to devalue to holdings of the “rich”.
Or, it could be that they are simply stupid people who believe in socialism because they never studied anything useful and never read a history book or were exposed to anything resembling Econ 101…..

I hate

The Garmin G-1000 instrument system.

Much prefer the “Six-Pack” instruments.

Sadly, that plane is down with major structural damage from a tail strike.

So I get a choice….G-1000 or G-1000….or change flight schools.

Other than not having to set the HSI, I fail to see the advantage…..at least for VFR

Victims:

The “memorial” doesn’t mention that a THIRD of the Lynchings were of WHITES. 

It simply portrays the terrible injustices that were perpetrated on blacks….

New lynching memorial evokes terror of victims

It also fails to mention that that was then, this is now….And that black people have gotten MORE than their share of freebies in the past 55 years. No one gets away with lynchings anymore.

Isn’t it odd that every other group of people that were considered subhuman for a while in this country’s history has risen above? The Chinese, the Japanese….the Irish, even the Jews…Yet the blacks fail to do so, and remain victims. Even the Hspanics while still being a part of the problem, are greatly successful in the US…..

Yeah, some folks will call me a racist. Don’t care, done wore that label out.
Go look at the 3 maps I posted about  a while back…..
