As I sit here writing this post, the center of the tropical storm is to the south of us. I haven’t posted about preps for this one, mostly because Category 1 storms aren’t worth the effort, no matter how breathless the reporters get on TV. So far it’s just been a dreary, breezy day.

We’ve gotten an inch and a half of rain, and it’s been a bit breezy. Right now our winds are out of the northeast at 24 miles an hour with gusts to 32. Our highest wind today was at 4 am, 46 miles per hour. It’s a quiet, rainy day. We have been spending the morning sitting on the back porch, sipping on some coffee and enjoying a cinnamon roll breakfast.

Where We Stand & What’s Next

As I sit and write this post on Wednesday afternoon, the election is still in doubt. There are 41 seats left to be decided in the House, with 14 looking like they are leaning Republican- but 5 of the ones leaning Republican are in California and three are in New York. The Democrats have a slight edge in 25 of those races. The Republicans need 14 more seats to control the House and the Democrats need 27. In other words, control of the House can go either way, especially since only about a third of CA precincts have reported yet. Too close to call, but the left is too good at cheating for this not to go their way.

In the Senate, the vote is split at 48 apiece, but Alaska, Arizona, and Nevada are still waiting results while Georgia will have a runoff. Arizona was one of the states that had “problems.” I expect that the Dems will end up with 51 seats and will also own the Senate.

There is every possibility that the Democrats come away controlling both houses of Congress and the Whitehouse. The left even openly bragged about this a week ago: they said that results would take days, and that the Republicans wouldn’t like it. I’m calling it now- this is open shenanigan territory. It isn’t as blatant and in your face as 2020, but the fix was still in.

Say that I am black pilled if you will, but as I said two years ago, we have already had our last free and fair election in this country.

So what comes next? There will be some base pandering- codifying Roe, some stuff like that. There will be a laundry list of new laws passed. I predict that:

  • SCOTUS will get term limits. Expect Thomas and Roberts to go first.
  • Gun control is coming. Expect a new AWB to be the first law.
  • Moves will be made to solidify the Democrat power base. Expect a “voting rights act” to be passed that makes it far easier for the Dems to stay in power.
  • There will be some sort of law passed that allows them to censor social media and/or take control of Twitter from Elon Musk.

What other priorities do you see?

Felon

Corionn Rodman Jones-Bentley was breaking into vacation rentals while the tourists who were staying there were asleep. In at least one case, he was caught and attacked the occupants. Deputies finally caught him and he has been charged with 9 burglaries and is suspected in 4 others. He attacked the arresting officers.

Looking at his criminal record, he has been arrested in 8 burglaries in Osceola county. In 5 of those cases, the state didn’t press charges. He was convicted in 3 of them by entering a plea agreement on all three cases simultaneously on March 3. He was given a jail sentence of 271 days, but all of that was erased with credit for time served. A total of 8 felony charges, plea guilty, get released from jail immediately. Then he resumes burglarizing homes immediately. Sounds like justice to me.

This is why we have so much crime. Our criminal justice system is a revolving door. Violent criminals are allowed to continue this behavior again and again, getting turned loose only to commit the same crimes again in a month or two.

Meanwhile, the police are out there being douchebags to people who aren’t committing violent felonies. Why is that? Well, the State Attorney for Orange and Osceola county is Monique H. Worrell, a liberal democrat. She boasts that her office is “culturally diverse” and her official website brags:

Monique was elected to bring reform to a criminal legal system that is fundamentally flawed, in order to achieve equity and to move our system towards justice.

The Osceola County Sheriff is Marco Lopez, a Democrat from Chicago. When he was elected, his priorities were increasing the diversity of the sheriff’s department, deescalation training and adding more mental health resources. Note that actually stopping crime and catching criminals was not on the radar.

I can promise you one thing. There is no recidivism if I catch a violent felon breaking into my house while I am home.

Lottery

I posted the following comment to Twitter:

They are having a lottery drawing tonight for $2 billion. By morning, we will know how many winning numbers there were and where they were sold for every prize, not just the jackpot. It is inconceivable that you don’t know who won an election for days.

The Democrats will go to extreme lengths to prove me wrong. They announced that, due to security concerns, the Powerball drawing will be delayed. (Yes, I know it wasn’t done to foil me, but it IS pretty funny)

Canceled

JK Rowling is a liberal. She was once the crown jewel of the left: a feminist, pro gay woman whose wealth in the UK was only surpassed by the Queen herself. Her books were printed into more copies than any other books, except the Bible itself.

When the movie, merchandising, and theme park money came rolling in, the numbers were incredible. Universal Studios in Orlando was selling plastic sticks labeled as ‘Harry Potter’ wands at a rate of $10k a day, more than $100 each.

Then Rowling spoke out against the trannies. That began the backlash. Even the child stars whose careers are entirely owed to Rowling and her books denounced her. Now it’s official: she has been canceled, and so has the entire franchise.

I know you are thinking, “So what?” Here is why that’s important: Warner Brothers just turned their backs on a multi-billion dollar movie franchise in order to appease a demographic that is comprised of less than 2% of the population. Let that sink in.

Military Controlling Elections? Banana Republic Much?

The CISA, who is the same agency that has been tasked with controlling ‘disinformation’ on the Internet by instructing Social Media companies on censorship, is in charge of commanding the cybersecurity brigades of the National Guard during the election. Those brigades have been activated to “secure” the elections tomorrow.

So the same national guard that deployed several divisions of troops to lock down DC is now going to be overseeing US elections while under Federal control. This is seriously some banana republic shit. Since when does the military get involved in US elections? What would we say if another country was using the military to oversee elections?

The NG also provided the same “help” in the 2020 election. That’s why it was so secure, I guess. They are using the now debunked claims of “Russian collusion” from 2016 as the justification for military intervention in the election. The units will be operating in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Washington and West Virginia. Keep an eye on those elections.

Watching for Shenanigans

For every US election, we knew the results within hours of the polls closing. Even the great contested election of 2000 saw the results being posted within hours. Until 2020, that is. Now all of a sudden, the White House is claiming that it will take days to know the results.

For weeks, the polls have been showing a Republican landslide. The President has a -23 presidential approval index. History tells us that the incumbent President’s party always does poorly in the midterm elections, especially in times of economic downturn. If there is any result other than the Democrats taking a beating, you will know for sure that there are shenanigans. Doubly so if it takes days or weeks to get the results out.

Clean Up Your Ranks

In the last 22 years, I have had 9 interactions with with the police:

  • In 2000, my car was broken into, and my stereo, radar detector, cash, and other items totaling about $600 was stolen from it. The crime scene investigator came out and took fingerprints. They got a hit, gave me the name of the person, and asked me to sign a paper saying that this man did not have permission to be in my vehicle. A month later, I was told that the criminal would not be arrested because the crime was too minor to waste resources on.
  • In 2001, I was pulled over for running a red light. I let the cop know I was carrying, even though Florida law doesn’t require me to. He then threatened to kill me. I don’t inform any more.
  • Same year, I got a traffic ticket for $184, which I paid. Eleven years later, the court sent me a letter saying that they miscalculated the fine for the ticket, and I owe them another $32. I refused to pay it because the statute of limitations had passed and there was nothing that they could do about it.
  • In 2004, a cop told my girlfriend how to use the courts to steal my stuff by claiming that I had committed domestic violence. It took me months to get it straightened out. (I foolishly told this story to a GF in 2012 and that one copied the scheme)
  • In 2005, I had someone steal a check for over $200 from my mailbox, forge my name and deposit the money into his bank account. The number of the account that the check was deposited into was printed on the back of the check. I went to the station to report the crime. I had a copy of the check. All the cop had to do was go to the bank, get the name of the account owner, and make the arrest. Anyone could have done it, it wasn’t a hard crime to solve. The cops told me that they didn’t have the manpower to solve a crime for such a small amount of money. On the way home from the police station, I passed 6 cops with cars pulled over, writing traffic tickets.
  • As a paramedic in 2010, I ran a call on a report of man who was unconscious and slumped over the wheel at an intersection. When I got there, he was obviously drunk, so I reached in and took the keys out of the ignition and put them on the vehicle’s roof. When the cops got there, they let the man call his girlfriend and let her give him a ride home. They said that they couldn’t prove that he was behind the wheel. I told them I would testify, but then the cop told me that his shift was over soon, and he didn’t want to stay late to do the paperwork. I found out later he was a friend of one of the cops.
  • In 2016, I had to draw a gun on someone who then fled the scene. I called the cops and the one who showed up didn’t even take a report. Exactly zero effort was made to catch the guy.
  • In 2018, I had a police supervisor tell me that silencers and machine guns were illegal. I offered to bring in NFA items with the proper paperwork, so the cops could be trained to recognize the proper forms and know the law. They refused, and told me “Keep that stuff out of my town or you will be arrested.”
  • Also in 2018, an armed man was burglarizing cars in my neighborhood. He was caught on my security cameras. The cops used my footage to catch the burglar, but he reached a plea deal that included expunging his record. All he got was probation, even though he broke into four vehicles, stealing one of them.

I am giving the good cops some advice: clean up your ranks. I don’t think you can, because I believe that the bad cops far outnumber the good ones. The police have become just another group of criminals who prey on the people in this nation who actually produce wealth. They are a street gang with badges and qualified immunity.

Priceless

I was selected for a random drug test for work. I was given 24 hours to go to a third party lab for testing.

The lab had me empty my pockets into a lock box for the drug test. When I pulled out a gun and put it in the box, the look on that woman’s face was priceless.
