June 2020

A number of municipalities and counties in Florida have issued executive orders that require citizens to wear masks because COVID. They appear to be unenforceable. Let me explain. First, there is the city of St Petersburg’s order, (pdf warning) which reads:

Effective Tuesday, June 23, 2020, at 5:00 PM, the following requirements regarding the use of face coverings in places of public assemblage will go into effect :

(a) “Face covering” means (i) a cloth face covering that covers the mouth and nose, as described by applicable guidance from the CDC, or (ii) any equivalent face covering . A face covering may be store-bought or homemade .
(b) Except as provided in section 5, any person who is 18 years of age or older shall wear a face covering while in a place of public assemblage. That face covering must (i) be worn in a manner that covers the face and nose; (ii) remain affixed in place without the use of  the person’s hands; and (iii) otherwise comply with CDC guidance for wearing such a face covering.
(c) If a person is under the age of 18, that person’s use of a face covering is left to the discretion of that person’s parent, guardian, or accompanying adult. Applicable guidance from CDC states that a face covering is not appropriate for babies or children under the age of 2.
(d) This section does not require or allow a person to wear a face covering in a manner that violates Florida Statutes chapter 876. 

876.14 Wearing mask, hood, or other device on property of another.—No person or persons over 16 years of age shall, while wearing a mask, hood, or device whereby any portion of the face is so hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer, demand entrance or admission or enter or come upon or into the premises, enclosure, or house of any other person in any municipality or county of this state.

Valkyrie Arms, manufacturer of firearms in Olympia, Washington, has shut down this morning, citing health reasons. Who is John Galt?

People want the cops to stop enforcing the law. So the cops stop. Now they complain that the cops aren’t enforcing the law. If the police are defunded, this is what you get. 

Through a post at WRSA, we hear that Antifa is using 2 meter Baofeng handheld radios to communicate. The almost certainly are not licensed to use those, even though they are required to have at least a technician license.

We already know that the coup plotters of 2017 used the same method of communication.

My request:
Can anyone provide pictures of Antifa members with handheld transcievers?

If anyone is in the vicinity of Antifa operations and has the technical capabilities, can we confirm their use of the 2 meter band, or even intercept some of their communications?

I was going through my bookshelves and saw that I have a hardcover copy of John Ross’ Unintended Consequences. It is a fifth printing, First Edition copy in hardback. The dust jacket is missing, but it is in otherwise great condition. The only real flaw is where the used bookstore I bought it from wrote the price of $26.00 on the inside of the front cover in pencil. I must have bought this book at least 10 years ago, although I don’t remember when.

I am not sure what it is worth, but the cheapest ones that Amazon has are over $200 each. I would like to read it again, but I don’t want to devalue it by damaging it. I had no idea they were so collectible.

So Maryland clams that a computer failure is preventing them from doing background checks, and have instructed all firearms dealers to stop selling firearms until they fix the problem. I’m sure that this is only temporary and totally not an excuse to ban guns.

Health officials announced last week residents must wear face coverings in public settings where they may come within six feet of another individual who is not from the same household.

But people of color do not have to follow the new rule because of black men fitting the description of a suspect who has a face covering on.

Renault and Ford have joined forces to create the perfect small car for women.

Mixing the best features of the Renault ‘Clio’ and the Ford ‘Taurus,’ they have designed the ‘Clitaurus’. It comes in pink, and the average male car thief won’t be able to find it – let alone turn it on – even if someone tells him where it is and how to do it.

Rumor has it though, that it leaks transmission fluid once a month, and can be a real bitch to start in the morning! Some have reported that on cold winter mornings, when you really need it, you can’t get it to turn over.

New models are initially fun to own, but very costly to maintain, and horribly expensive to get rid of. Used models may initially appear to have curb appeal and a low price, but eventually have an increased appetite for fuel, and the curb weight typically increases with age.

Manufacturers are baffled as to how the size of the trunk increases as the vehicle ages, but say that the paint may just make it LOOK bigger.

This model is not expected to reach collector status. Most owners find it is best to lease one and replace it each year.

There are three ways to lie:

1 Tell a story that is 100% fabricated. This is the easiest way to get caught, because such lies and the people who tell them get tripped up by easily debunked parts of their tale, often when the story itself becomes contradictory. The only way for the liar to get away with this one is to keep the story short and impossible to verify or debunk by virtue of having few specific details.

2 Tell a story that is based upon a true story, or that has elements of the truth within it, but portions of the story that cannot be proved to be true or false. The true portions bolster the falsehoods. This is the most common type of lie. 

3 Tell a story that is 100% true, but tell it in such a way that the listener doesn’t believe a word you are saying. This is the most difficult lie to tell because you ARE telling the truth. You just have to get the listener to tell the lie to himself.

With COVID, we are being sold a bill of goods. The powers that be have used all three of the methods above.
