Pictures

I don’t know where people get the idea from that taking pictures of or looking at others without their permission is illegal. It isn’t. If it was, shooting the video below would be just as illegal as taking a picture of some random whore’s ass.

Still, this happens periodically. For some reason, some muscle head always decides that he is going to be a freelance cop and use force to defend some skank’s honor. It happened to me a few years ago.

In this case, someone grabbing me by the back of the neck is about to become a cautionary tale at someone else’s concealed carry class. At the very least, there will be a bar clearing discharge of some tactical spices, and there is a distinct possibility of you having a cool cast for the skank to sign later.

My Opinion

Getting a ticket for violating a law that the officer can’t quote. She is making shit up as she goes. “Ignorance of the law that I just made up on the spot is no excuse.”

I would add that she is incorrect in her interpretation of the law. The ordnance she quoted doesn’t say any of what she says it does. The issue here is what it will cost you to show up with an attorney to fight this.

The Catholic Church Can Kiss My Ass

But Newark’s Roman Catholic Archbishop, who says:

Salvation came from Christ, not from an AR-15. To them, Jesus says as he did to the arms-bearing Peter, “put that away.”

The Catholic church has become a gun control organization. I quote:

The Supreme Court has expanded the application of the second amendment, which says nothing about “personal ownership” or “guns” to mean that individuals have the right to possess, carry, and shoot semiautomatic weapons of war designed solely to kill, maim, and obliterate human life.

In fact, the conference of Catholic Bishops has this to say:

“We support a total ban on assault weapons and limitations on civilian access to high-capacity weapons and ammunition magazines.”

I want to point out what happened to Jesus- he was tortured and murdered by his government. Since I can’t miracle myself to a resurrection, I think I will keep my guns. In the meantime, the Catholic church and its communist pope can work on not letting their priests fuck little kids.

Pope Francis: “If I See the Gospel in a Sociological Way Only, Yes, I Am a Communist, and So Too Is Jesus”

For Big Ruckus D

You say you haven’t heard a good Saxophone Solo in a long time. Not all of the following are Sax work, but being originally from New Orleans, I do appreciate some good horn work. One of the great things about New Orleans is street performances:

Another great piece from that same band is this one:

Growing up in New Orleans means that you learn to appreciate music of all kinds. I still have a special kind of love for all sorts of brass instrumentals. Maybe I will feature more of them in the future, as a reminder that this nation has a lot that is worth saving. There are a lot of talented people out there that we never hear from because the big labels don’t think it’s marketable.

Incommunicado

In March of this year, a retired Air Force officer was sentenced to two years in prison for his role in the J6 protest. He was found guilty in November of 2022 in a bench trial after waiving his right to a jury trial. There were six counts in his indictment, including obstruction of an official proceeding. The obstruction charge is a felony; the other five counts are misdemeanors.

Mr. Brock lost his pilot’s license. He was fired from his job. When he tried starting his own business doing home inspections, the State of Texas also revoked that license. Then he reported to prison.

He was calling his parents every day. Then, on July 24, the calls stopped. Word has come down that he was transferred to a Supermax prison. Supermax prisons rely heavily on intensive (and long-term) solitary confinement, with prisoners being held in solitary confinement 23 hours a day, which is used to isolate and punish prisoners. Communication with outsiders is minimal to none, with the prisoners only receiving one phone call per month, if that. Once transferred to a supermax prison, incarcerated individuals tend to stay there indefinitely. Correctional officers have ample authority to punish and manage incarcerated individuals, without outside review or prisoner grievance systems.

It is likely that Mr. Brock is being tortured because he dared to protest the new order. He is a political prisoner- a POW, if you will.

Welcome to the American gulag. Mr. Brock is vzyali.

Cry Harder

When you were a kid and played games with other kids, there was always one who decided to cheat. Ever tried to play monopoly when the cheater was the banker? The only thing that can be done is either cheat better, or refuse to play.

There is no longer any such thing as fair government. Everything that the government does is weaponized lawfare. Gun stores being sued into bankruptcy. Or having their ability to accept credit cards taken from them. Fined and shut down because someone misspelled a word on a 4473. Unlike childhood games, you can’t refuse to play.

That’s why I love the fact that Florida just fined an abortion clinic enough money to put them out of business. It’s winner take all. Cry harder, bitches. You don’t like government, the courts, and business being weaponized?

Wait until you see what comes next- weapons being weaponized.

GOP Collusion

I have said for years that just because the Democrats are your enemy, doesn’t mean that the Republicans are your friend. Looking at this video of a GOP official talking about how this is “our” opportunity to get rid of Donald Trump is the last straw. There are no political parties in the US that I can support.

Each and every politician is in this for their own enrichment and power. And yes, libertarians, I am talking about Rand Paul and your party as well, so don’t even go there.

Unretirement

I retired from the Fire Department back in 2011. After a brief journey to grad school where I majored in Physician Assistant Studies, I left because I couldn’t handle the leftist professors telling stories about how Ronald Reagan deliberately engineered AIDS as an attack on women and gays. You can read about this nutcase here. I highly recommend reading it. It’s enlightening. Anyhow, the liberal indoctrination and constant bullshit made me want to leave, so I did.

My first job when I got back put me in a position of working for a boss that was deliberately keeping people sick so that he could make more money. He insisted that we falsify documentation and lie on paperwork. He told me “We are making money, the nursing home is making money, and the patient doesn’t even remember his own name. We all win here, so don’t rock the boat. You want to keep your job, don’t you?”

I didn’t. I wound up being shown the door because I had ethics.

I took a couple of years and enjoyed retirement. That was when I met my wife. She told me that we could do so much more than what we had. We could travel. If only I got a part time job, we could use the money to travel. I was bored sitting around the house, so I got a job teaching just three classes a day. We used the money I made to see the world. We have been to 14 countries and 48 states. During the seven years I was teaching, I went from part time to full time, and realized that teaching wasn’t for me.

Then COVID came along. I went back to health care. That’s how I came to be unretired.

Trump Shirt

Now that Georgia has filed charges against Trump, the Fulton County Sheriff has announced that he will be posting a mugshot of Trump online within days.

My prediction is that he will sell that picture on a T-shirt, and it will be the best selling mugshot on a shirt since Tupac. However, Trump will not enter the Whitehouse ever again, even if it means that he has a lethal case of Polonium poisoning. Remember the one thing about that “turn Trump into Tupac” statement: Tupac was murdered and to this very day, no one knows who did it.

This is being done to keep him out of the White House. They will stop at nothing.
