Rumor has it that it was because the new IPhone was released the day before, and the Antifa participants were too busy figuring out the new features on their new phones to participate in their special day.
Did you know that Home Depot will price match? And that Home Depot will give you an 11% rebate that matches the rebates offered by Menards?
Yep. It is true. If the Menards in your area is offering an 11% (or any) rebate, then the local Home Depot will do the same.
And, the best part? You can apply for it online.
No paper form and finding an envelope and a stamp. The rebate come faster, and on a gift card rather than a paper form like Menards.
One wonders why the Home Depot folks don’t advertise this…they lose business to Menards every time there is that (well advertised) 11% rebate at their competitor.
It isn’t the Jews
It isn’t the Bhuddists
Not Koreans
Nor Thailanders
Nor Canadians (except recent immigrants)
It isn’t the South Africans
It isn’t the Australians (except recent immigrants)
‘Taint the Russians (except those from predominantly Muslim Countries)
It’s not the Hindus
Not the Chinese (except those from Muslim areas)
Not the Latinos
Not, mostly Christians (in all their various flavors)
Nor the Native peoples from North America, nor even the poor Mexicans who are invading the US….
It is one group that does this. Not all of them, but predominantly from one group. Islam. (I am just glad they all seem to be so terribly inept, so they aren’t able to kill more of my countrymen, of whatever culture/race/religion)
Yet the mayor of New York wants, somehow, to vet people so this sort of attack like the one perpetrated on 1/1/17 in his city doesn’t happen again……but he doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feeling, either:
“There should be very, very careful vetting of anyone where there is an indication of concern, but not because of their religion or not because of their country of origin,” he said.
And he is hungry for an Omelette, but he doesn’t wanna break any eggs either.
It isn’t like he was gonna get his damage deposit back anyway.
A drill, a set of bits, some 4 x 4’s and some carriage bolts and an hour or so would have made the front of the truck much more substantial.
It’s a good thing he either couldn’t do it or didn’t think of this.
(I’m posting this only because I think the likelihood of a Jihadist/AlohaSnackbar type being a follower of my blog is very low, and if they are, then they are smart enough that they’ve already considered this)
Fuckin’ Snowflakes.
Fuck ’em.
It is history.
Christ, what has our society become? Is it all Goodspeak/Badspeak that runs our society anymore?
Y’know, George Orwell wasn’t supposed to be a prophet.
Sadly, it was used on a bike path in Central Park in New York.
Amazingly only 6 dead.
It would appear that the terror that has happened in Europe has indeed come here, even if on a smaller scale. Plus the dude did cry “Aloha Snackbar!”…..or something which sounded like that.
I expect to see calls for limits on horsepower on trucks. No one needs 400 horsepower in normal use . There is no sporting use for 400 horsepower 6000 pound trucks. Drivers of such trucks should be specially trained and licensed. Nobody needs that kind of horsepower to haul 2 x 4’s or drywall.
(Please note that in New York this is a BIG TRUCK. In “Flyover Country” this is normal truck, driven daily for farm or construction use…..or just because we like ’em). And, oddly, few of those thousands of trucks go on a rampage. It is, of course, the user, not the tool.
My thoughts and prayers for the victims and those affected by this.
ETA: the suspect, Sayfullo Saipov is reported to be from Uzbekisan. His photo makes him look like a fundamentalist.
I am surprised that they admitted that it was terror and that it was a muslim, especially so quickly.
Sitting, waiting, outside the courtroom for 2 hours was…interesting.
I, being white, was in the minority. Being a male…dressed well, also made me a minority. Hell, having shaved that week did so…..
Lots of nice people there though, (I listened to a lot of stories waiting) most of whom just got crossed up because they can’t follow the rules of society, or have impulse issues. Most were willing to do what was necessary to stay out of trouble, they just COULDN’T do it.
Things like show up at court, pay their fines, register their car, stay sober, not steal, etc. Couldn’t afford their car registration, but had $300 sneakers. (Sneakers in court?)
Some took the time to dress well, or at least try. Some ladies wore what was obviously their best attire, even though it was not suited for a courtroom, but more for a club….At least they tried.
Lots of men who obviously didn’t bother. Weren’t willing to try and impress the judge at all. I look better than that when I am working in the yard. I wondered, for a while if it was just because it was Halloween….
And, as I said, I was a minority, race wise. Only folks who looked like me were the clerks and attorneys.
Yes, I know, pointing this out makes me a racist.
And security was a joke. If you can smuggle a cell phone in (and there were LOTS of those), you can smuggle a fairly big knife or a small pistol. Ask me how I know…..
Not good for landing practice, really. Not even though it was straight down the runway. Not until I can do a decent non gusting landings.
Which, sadly, I can’t….yet.
Call for clearance, get it…. am on 1 mile final. Tower warns another aircraft to HOLD SHORT like 4 times on a taxiway leading to a crossing runway. I approach, do a touch and go, and depart to the right. He’s still being held. 3 other aircraft call for clearance to land, she gives permission and they do so…Dude is still waiting to taxi. Another aircraft is cleared in and he is STILL waiting.
I think he pissed off the controller. She sounded angry when talking to him.
I departed the area and switched frequencies and he was still waiting as I did so. At least 12 minutes.
I wonder if he ever got clearance to move? Or if he ran out of fuel waiting……?
I learned a very valuable lesson there:
Don’t piss off the controller.
