I didn’t win the big PowerBall jackpot,  They keep selling me the wrong tickets.

Instead it went to some undeserving soul in Massachusetts…..

Who I congratulate, BTW. Lucky bastard.  

Seems that (again) a Federal jury has failed to do the governments bidding convict some of the Bundy protesters  that were at the Bundy Ranch Standoff.

They tried to convict, and even had their pet Judge give instructions regarding testimony that prevented a great deal of evidence.

Seems the jury saw through that.  They chose not to convict on most charges despite the judge suppressing exculpatory testimony and other evidence.

“The current jury deliberated four full days after more than 20 days of testimony. The six men and six women returned no verdicts on four charges against Parker — assault on a federal officer, threatening a federal officer and two related counts of use of a firearm — and also hung on charges of assault on a federal officer and brandishing a firearm against Drexler. Navarro declared a mistrial on those counts.”


So why do the Federal Officers get to brandish firearms towards a crowd, but the crowd doesn’t get to brandish back? (I think you should NEVER point a firearms at anyone you are’t immediately ready to shoot dead right there, mind you) but there was a great deal of video, and I spoke to people I trust who were there, that claim the Federal contractors in Federal uniforms did the pointing first. Why aren’t they on trial as well? 


Anyway, they have lost twice, but the Feds have a great deal of money and a lot of attorneys and I would bet that they will try again until they win. 


But this is, indeed, a win for the forces of freedom.

Read this.…if you use Android or Google services. You might be surprised.

I had most activity turned off, but still….

Amazing how much Google knows about you. And kinda scary.

Thanks to Commander Zero


(is there another way that they do things in other countries to give credit instead of stealing content?….are customs different south of the equator?)

So Google has apparently begun terminating all google services to people whose work or writing they deem “offensive” with no recourse and no appeal. 

I use Gmail as my primary contact method for email, mainly because it works well on my Android phone.

I also have a Yahoo account, but that app has never been as clean and seamless as Gmail, and Yahoo itself may well be bankrupt soon, so I cannot depend on that either……

Can anyone suggest an Email service that has easy access from Android, that isn’t incredibly expensive, and that won’t terminate me of services because I am not Politically Correct…

Seriously, If Google shuts down my blog, well, then no one is really hurt. But if I lose my (current) Gmail account, I am totally screwed. I think I’d like another account that I won’t get cancelled on for non correct thoughts and all.

Anyone got suggestions?

Hat Tip to Angry Mike (see here is another way to give credit to the blog that you saw a certain article on….Is there a different way they do it in Texas?)




ETA (6 AM 8/23) apparently I am not the only one who has noticed Googles’s actions

JP Morgan Chase (Or at least the CEO, James Dimon ) has decided Virtue Signalling is more important then keeping customers. I guess he wants to look good to his guests at his next cocktail party.

I have a not insubstantial amount of money in my retirement funds through JPMC. Now I have to find someone else to handle those accounts for me. Sad, they’ve been handling my money for 15 years.

They chose to take sides. If they’d have just shut up and chosen NOT to take sides……Lots of firms can place trades for stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. I would expect better from JPMC. They are supposed to be professional bankers and investment experts, not Social Justice Warriors.

Anti-Defamation League? I sorta could have let that go. Maybe.

Southern Poverty Law Center? Nope. that is the one that makes me choose to leave. I won’t give business to anyone who chooses to donate to them…..especially in such a public manner.

Sadly, this hurts my local representative, who has been excellent in giving advice to me and helping me to grow my money. And he is the one that has to push my complaint up the corporate ladder.

I refuse to Feed the Beast. They can use their money to support anyone they wish. I just will not give them any fees with which to do so.

Y’all are adults, and can make your own decisions. However, if you are customers of JPMC, then I would urge you to follow my example and make sure they know why.

I have 8 “Eclipse Viewers” and 9 sets of “Eclipse Glasses” for sale, fairly cheap. Only used for a few moments in 2017.

You’ll need ’em in 7 years or so, so ACT NOW! They sold out in the weeks before the eclipse in 2017, so don’t get caught short.

Contact me for details.

“What the public should be looking at is the fact that the FBI gave our son the means to make this happen. He has no job, no money, no vehicle, and no driver’s license, due to the fact that he is schizophrenic and we; his parents do everything we can possible to keep him safe and functional…..  He has suffered through countless serious full-blown schizophrenic delusional episodes and he has been put in numerous mental hospitals since he was 16 years old. The FBI came and picked him up from our home, they gave him a vehicle, gave him a fake bomb, and every means to make this happen none of which he had access to on his own. 

There is a pattern. One that goes back many years.
Chances are, if there are three people looking at a conspiracy to commit violent acts or seditious acts, one of them is either an FBI agent or working for the FBI. In any group of conspirators, the guys who is most eager to make something happen is the likely Feeb or Feeb agent. If he knows someone who can get explosives, then fer sure he is the one…

Remember this.

Oh, and I found the above article HERE. (which is another way to give credit when you read some interesting article on another blog that you would like to post….And yes, again, you should know who you are….maybe they do things differently in that big state)

So Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis tells supporters of Trump so “Shop Elsewhere”.

Which is odd, as his company is a major sponsor in NASCAR, whose fans aren’t generally that political, but who are, generally, supporters of conservatives and were a significant part of Trump’s support……As are the RV folks, who are also a MAJOR part of Camping World’s customers.

SJW Virtue Signalling doesn’t mix well with business. I expect that about 80% of his customers will take his advice and will, indeed, shop elsewhere.

If you have any Camping World stock, I’d sell it ASAP. I expect they’ll be auctioning the companys remains soon. 

Via Ballseyes Bommers we get this story from the Daily Mail

Catalan police officer managed to shoot dead four of the five suspects using a handgun and saved partner

good shootin’ there, Ma’m. I am impressed. Very.

In the unlikely event that I meet her, the beer is on me.

(and that, folks, for some other bloggers who apparently can’t or won’t give credit where credit is due, is how you post something you read on another blog and give credit for the source…You know who you are!)

ETA: Bearing Arms has an article that says “He” so I am not sure who is right….

either way, the beer is still on me.

Remember that 25 years ago was the day that that the US Marshalls killed Sammy Weaver and started the Ruby Ridge debacle (for there can be no other word) that led to the standoff and, eventually, the death of Vicki Weaver….

The fuckups (for there can be no nice way to describe the total incompetence that the whole, long involved mess that the ATF started, the US Marshall’s Service screwed up even further, and the FBI folks totally failed to do any more than make much much worse) were epic and should have resulted in about 70 prosecutions of the assorted agents of the three agencies for malfeasance and incompetence and the resulting coverup…but no one was prosecuted, no one was demoted, forced to retire or in any meaningful way punished.

If you don’t know the whole story, start here. Read THIS to see the discrepancies that the FBI (and other agencies) just papered over. (and the courts and “Justice” system let happen). READ THIS for a long, detailed (but, as far as I can determine, factually correct) account of the “incident”.

The ATF, acting out of control and in a manner that was both unprofessional and incompetent caused this to happen. Then they called the US Marshals to act, who failed to investigate and simply acted…in what could well be called a rouge manner……..causing the incident which led to the death of  Sammy weaver and Marshall Dugan. They too needed help, so they called the FBI. Who again acted in a manner which exacerbated the situation. None of the agents ever questioned the reasons why a man who moved to the country to be left alone would act this way, they simply took the word of some incompetent ATF agents who wanted to cover their butts…..the Marshalls, once a Fed was killed, of course hid the fact that they too acted in a poor and unprofessional manner and called in the Feebs, who again, escalated things.

(Having worked with agents from all three agencies about 10 years ago, I can tell you that they hadn’t gotten much better then. They are arrogant, are afraid only for their retirement, and lie, cheat and cover up their mistakes, often with the aid of other agent even those from other agencies. If one Fed says something, the others, even in other agencies, take it at face value, even though it may seem implausible. (yes, I’ve seen this firsthand).)

Randy Weaver got screwed by some ATF agents, then screwed again by (and lost his son to) some idiots who worked for the US Marshall’s service. The the FBI took over and killed his wife. Because Feds.

I met Randy some years ago. His eyes were haunted and he is a broken man. I’m surprised he hasn’t eaten his gun yet.

Your Government and the Justice Department at work. And your Government covered for them and LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT.

I  highly doubt that there is any difference in any of those agencies today.
