All those Moms didn’t need a man in their life (except to pay the bills and donate sperm).

Home improvement stores are running out of customers: Need classes and “clinics” to teach Millenials how to do things like pound nails and replace hinges.

I knew how to do most things like that, if not well, at least safely and by age 15. Most of my friends (those whose parents weren’t divorced, and even some of those whose parents were) could do so as well. I had a Dad. Mom chose well.

Lots of 30 somethings and 40 somethings are adequate at “man” tasks….they can build a wall, fix a door, weld, run pipe, wire and outlet, do drywall, etc. Hell, lots of women learned. Not so today….

20 somethings can’t do any of the above, cause no one taught ’em how. No dads to teach ’em. Some men can’t even change a tire. (or open a car with the keys locked inside)

Blame their moms.

(I should point out that Dad never taught me now to “pick a paint color” though. He (like me) saw the world in 8 bit color)

ETA: Apparently (according to comments) I am wrong, at least partially.

It may be that many millenials are simply unwilling to learn. But I do know that none of the ones that have learned to do things didn’t have fathers…they all learned from Dad how to do man things. I know of very few that can do man things who lived without a father.

Pretty much the same today.

But, I am scheduled for 10 AM, and if the weather screws me, apparently there is a backup plan for filling in some holes in my knowledge.

“I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise.”

Of course, most of us who handle firearms on a regular basis already knew that, but to see it in print from a leftist rag is kinda shocking.

And I found it at the Freeholder, who is worth reading when he posts.

(this is how a responsible blogger gives credit when he steals another bloggers thunder, for those of you who fail to give credit four sources, BTW)

Apparently, the loss of revenue did what good sense couldn’t.

Huffpo has the letter (with commentary).

‘Bout fuckin’ time.

Now contrast the above with this.

(terrible singing, mind you, but the heart is there)

Worth a read.

If I could find a way to stop supporting the NRA and to still be a member of my range (it is a requirement for membership) I would quit them…and never return as a member of the NRA….I would.

Ruck ’em. They betrayed every member.

Now she needs to sue him personally for false arrest and abuse of power, plus assault, kidnapping, etc.

And everyone in the chain of command that authorized his actions as well. Not the city, the individuals.

Still, however, it must be Trump’s fault that third world people act like third world people in a third world society.

And yes, it IS still a third world society. If you think otherwise, you’ve either never been there or you’ve never left the tourist resort you stayed at.

They are Puerto Ricans.

Not the same thing.

And they don’t want to pay taxes, but they want to take our aid and live under our protection. They have no military, no national guard, and yet they still haven’t got enough money to even take care of themselves BEFORE the hurricane, much less after.

And now it is Trumps fault that there is still debris is the streets. It should have been cleaned up by the US, apparently. The Puerto Rican’s won’t take responsibility for their own homes? 

Coverage by CBS starts from incorrect premises and devolves from there….

Yep, the courts (federal) have decided that the theaters must provide a way for deaf people to get the full movie experience (how they gonna experience the music? The other sound effects?) and that the cost of the interpreter(s) must be borne by the theater.

While I am all for the ADA as it was intended, at some point it has (generally caused by the courts, but not always) gone off the rails.

This is but one example.
