He’s Out

Remember when I told you that Biden wouldn’t finish his term? I said that the means of getting rid of him would indicate who was in charge. If they were not playing, he would be removed like JFK.

At the time, I said that Biden would be removed from office in one of three ways:

  • If Biden’s family is calling the shots, perhaps he will simply step down.
  • If he refuses, but the left feels he can serve no further use, they will use the 25th Amendment.
  • If they want to make a martyr out of him, he will be killed by some right wing loon using an AR-15 who is carrying an NRA life member card in his wallet and wearing a MAGA hat.

It turns out that I was wrong. It looks like they are going with character assassination, from CNN of all places.

Here are the lies CNN now wants to talk about:

  1. Witnessing a bridge collapse
  2. Grandfather died days prior to his birth at the same hospital
  3. Amtrack conductor conversations
  4. Being in New York the day after 9/11
  5. Being arrested a civil rights protest
  6. Driving an 18-wheeler
  7. Visited the Pittsburgh synagogue where people were killed in 2018

The issue here is, who replaces him? It can’t be Harris. She is as useless as he is. She is an imbecile. Will they eliminate and replace her first? Or will they use Biden’s baggage as an excuse to replace him for the 2024 Presidential race?

I’m beginning to think that Biden will finish his term and then will not run in 2024.

We Are Right Behind Them

Now that Trudeau has declared price controls for food, anyone who protests him and his decisions gets beaten up by his security detail.

When will this be coming to the US? It looks like we are just a few months behind Canada in the descent into Communism.

Prove Me Wrong

Whenever you don’t give 100% fawning support to cops no matter what they do or say, the cops and their hangers on will accuse you of “hating cops.”

Whenever you don’t run around screaming ACAB and hating on all cops, those who do hate them will accuse you of being a jackboot or a boot licker.

In reality, there is a middle ground. I don’t hate all cops, I hate shitty, cowardly, or crooked cops. Some examples:

Each and every one of the above is an example of a “bad cop” and covers about 90% of them. OTOH, that doesn’t mean that I support criminals- quite the opposite. I am opposed to criminals whether or not they wear a uniform and a badge. See, each of the above examples is a crime and if cops want to be “good cops” they can start by policing their own ranks.

To the cop haters who think ACAB and are not needed: There are criminals out there. SOMEONE has to not only catch criminals, but needs to protect the rights of those criminals to due process. If there isn’t such a class of people, you get mob rule, vigilantism, and all of our rights are subject to the lynch mob. In other words, you get social credit scores, along with Twitter and Facebook style justice.

So here is my invitation to people on both sides of the debate: I am inviting one cop supporter and one cop opponent to submit posts for my consideration. I will select one post from each side of the debate for publication on this blog. This is the very first time that I have considered allowing anyone else to write a post for this blog. Explain to me how I am not being fair to your side and how I have it all wrong. Here are the rules:

  • Your post must be a minimum of 250 words, maximum of 600 words.
  • It cannot contain ads or attempt to sell anything.
  • It cannot contain personal attacks against individuals.
  • Pay attention to spelling and grammar. If the post is filled with errors, you just look stupid.
  • Examples that support your argument look better if you link to your source.
  • Your post can’t advocate for committing illegal acts.
  • I am the sole judge of what gets published on this blog, but your opinions remain your own, even if you and I disagree. I may suggest edits. If you don’t agree to making those edits, I won’t put words in your mouth. If you refuse those suggested edits, I may decide not to publish your post at all, but I won’t make the edits without your approval.
  • All posts submitted remain the property of the LLC that publishes this blog, and that LLC retains all rights to those submissions.

This is your chance to have your say. Prove that I am wrong. If you are cool with those edits, submit your posts by email to divemedic (at) areaocho.com. All submissions are due by Tuesday, September 19 at 11:59 pm. The winners will be picked the following day.

Canada = Communist Dictatorship

Trudeau has given grocery stores in Canada until Thanksgiving to charge whatever prices for food that he deems fair. This is what commies always do-

  • enact bad monetary and economic policy that causes shortages
  • shortages cause price increases and inflation
  • blame businesses for increased prices
  • enact price controls, which create more shortages
  • businesses stop selling, which creates even more shortages
  • people turn to the black market at prices that are even higher
  • starving people eat their pets

Violent

As we get closer to election season, the violence from the left ramps up in a rather predictable way. I know that the left likes to pretend that blocking access isn’t violence, but I disagree. Watch this video and tell me what you think.

Thieves Going High Tech

There is a new variation of an old crime that all of us need to be aware of: Fake traffic stops. It goes like this. A car with blue strobes slips in behind yours and attempts to pull you over.

It isn’t a new crime. Fake cops initiating traffic stops happens all of the time. The police are more afraid of people not respecting their authority than they are protecting the public, so they advise:

However, police officials are asking motorists to pull over for any emergency or law enforcement vehicle that is running its lights and sirens as quickly and as safely as possible and wait for the officer to approach their vehicle and contact them.

If a motorist thinks that the vehicle may not be an official law enforcement or emergency vehicle, the driver should pull over anyway and call … 911. A dispatcher should be able to confirm that the vehicle belongs to a law enforcement officer.

Of course, if it isn’t a cop, it’s now too late to get help. The cops will arrive just in time to take a report and perhaps photograph your corpse.

It looks fishy, so you decide to do what police advise: You try to call 911 and verify that the cop is a real one. Your cell phone has no signal. Oddly enough, your GPS mapping systems aren’t working either.

It turns out that the “cop” is a bad guy, this is an ambush, and your communications aren’t working because they are being jammed by a device just like this one.

Sure, jammers are illegal, but since when do criminals care about the law? So now what? If you refuse to pull over, you are in deep trouble if it IS a real cop.

Hollywood movies and television often portray burglaries as meticulously planned and skillfully executed events like Oceans 11. In reality, these crimes are rarely carefully orchestrated. The vast majority of burglaries are random, opportunistic acts. Until lately, that is. Electronic devices are becoming cheaper and easier to obtain.

There are all sorts of signal jammers, jamming WiFi, Cell phones, and other frequencies. Thieves are using them to jam security cameras and burglar alarms as well.

Keep a sharp eye out.
