Missing Machine Gun

The US Army is missing an M240B machine gun. It belongs to the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 1st Infantry Division, from Fort Riley, Kansas.

To me, there are two possibilities here:

  • It was in California. One of the local troops from Fort Irwin just made themselves some extra cash, and a Mexican cartel has itself some additional firepower.
  • There is a patriot somewhere who is waiting for some IRS or FBI agents to come calling. Maybe there are some soldiers who saw an opportunity to increase their own firepower. God help them if anyone rats them out.

Mom, He’s Looking at Me

One of the most embarrassing things that has ever happened to me was when I was out with some friends. I was sitting in the bar and noticed that a woman kept staring at me. My friends urged me to go talk to her, so I did. I approached the table where she was sitting with her friends and said, “I couldn’t help but notice you were staring at me. Can I buy you a drink?”

She replied, “I am not staring at you. You are sitting under the TV.” I slinked back to my side of the bar.

Now people in Australia can get you tossed in jail for that.

Looking for Votes

The Biden administration is looking to start a fight with Russia? Perhaps. The Carrier Strike Group centered around the USS George HW Bush just entered the Mediterranean Sea, accompanied by her escort ships. In addition, there are two guided missile submarines in theater.

The Truman strike group remains in the Med, so this isn’t a normal carrier handoff.

Is our government insane? Are they seriously picking a fight with Russia using the depleted, paper tiger of a military we have? WTF.

End Run

If a cop asks a criminal to break into your house to search it for evidence of a crime as an end run around the Fourth Amendment’s requirement for a search warrant, is that an infringement of your rights?

If the government asks a media company to censor free speech in order to influence an election, were people’s rights violated?

The FBI is the Sword and Shield of the Democrat party.

Dual Justice System

Two women are being forced to pay $40,000 in fines and facing up to 5 years in prison as a part of a plea deal for ‘transporting stolen property’ in the form of Ashley Biden’s diary that detailed sexual improprieties that the President was taking with his daughter. The plea deal is the culmination of a years long investigation into a crime that sounds like the title to a Hardy Boys book- “The Case of the Missing Diary.”

Contrast that with “The Case of the Purloined Letter.” Or have we all forgotten about Bob Woodward stealing documents right off of Donald Trump’s desk? In this case, it was the draft copy of a trade deal between the US and South Korea. Isn’t that interference with an official proceeding? Stealing government documents?

It’s painfully obvious that the FBI is the Sword and Shield of the Democrat party when a lost diary gets a 2 year investigation and a 5 year jail sentence, but stealing a treaty from the Oval office and in the process interfering with official government business gets you an advance for a tell all book.

Election Math

The Maryland lottery has a game called Pick 4. You pick a 4 digit number, and if it matches the number drawn at the lottery office, you win. Simple game, simple odds: The chances of matching all 4 digits is 1 in 10,000, or 0.0001%.

The chances of winning twice are 1 in 100 million. There is one player who has won that game 79 times in one single year. The odds of that happening are 1 in 10^315. In other words, it is statistically improbable to the point where we can call it impossible.

It isn’t just that one player. In fact, there are 8 players who won a staggering 200 or more times EACH. Two of these players won the Multi-Match game a combined 439 times for $919,300 in winnings, six players won Racetrax 1,247 times for $1.7 million, and five won the Pick 4 game 505 times for $1.6 million. It isn’t the first time that someone has scammed the lottery, but at least Pennsylvania caught their scammers.

That’s how random probability works. If I flip a fair coin, there is a 50% chance that it will be heads on any single flip. However, if I flip a coin ten times, the chances of it never being tails drops to one in 1,000.

Here is my point, and the reason for the title of this post. If you believe that one person winning the grand prize in a lottery drawing 79 times in a single year is evidence of cheating, I want you to consider this next math problem:

Let’s say that ninety people out of every one hundred in a fictional Maryland voting district voted for Biden. If I randomly pull any single ballot from that district, there is a 90% chance that it will be for Biden and a 10% chance that it will be for Trump. If I pull two random ballots, there is a one percent chance that both will be Trump votes, and an 81 percent chance both will be Biden votes.

What if I pulled 7,000 consecutive ballots? What would be the odds of not finding a single Trump vote? 1 in 10^321. Remember that the chances of someone winning the Pick 4 game in Maryland 79 times in a year are one in 10^315.

So when the vote counters in 2020 claim that they found 28,000 consecutive votes for Biden in one district without a single Trump vote, it makes me scream “bullshit.”

With our next election being only 74 days away, we will soon find out just how much the Democrats are willing and able to cheat in the midterms. That will be a large hint of what will follow in 2024.

EDITED: Thanks to It’s Just Boris for catching a math error in my post. It has been fixed.

My apologies for the math errors. I was juiced on Nyquil when I typed this post.

Remember

The person urging you to do illegal shit is probably an FBI agent. You can’t trust anyone, not even family. Even if you ARE among those you can trust, letting someone new into the group is a huge threat. That person may be, or may become, an informant.

Trust no one, or you may wind up like this guy.

The guy who keeps telling you he isn’t a cop? He is a cop. This guy was an undercover informant twice- for a total of over 10 years. How many people are in jail because this guy gave them a little nudge? Made a couple of suggestions? Keep in mind that informants only get their deal or get paid if they continue to serve up the goods. That means they will frame or entrap you, if that is what it takes for them to get whatever it is that the cops have promised them: clemency, leniency, or simply money.

It is nearly certain that some of the commenters on the blogs you read, perhaps even some of the bloggers themselves, are informants or even cops who would love to see you behind bars. The more tyrannical the government becomes, the more informants there will be.

Comport yourselves accordingly.

Consent of the Governed

The NY Times claims that the left should no longer constrain themselves by having to follow the “broken” and “famously undemocratic” U.S. Constitution which “stands in the way” of “real” freedom and democracy.

I would post a link directly to it, but it is behind a paywall. It doesn’t matter. I get the point. Here is mine:

The Constitution is a contract between the people and the government. It follows the basic theory that was in existence at the time of the founding: that people found governments to protect their rights. Governments rule with the consent of those being governed. Getting rid of that constitution removes that consent and ensures that the government from that point forward is not ruling with our consent, but instead by force.

Without a Constitution, the government will have admitted that it is illegitimate and ruling through the barrel of a gun, rather than the consent of the governed. At least at that point, they won’t be bothering to even hide it any longer.
