Matt Damon spent weeks with Trump supporting oil field workers while preparing for his latest movie. He says it was an eye opening experience.
He was surprised to learn that “there’s some good people around — regardless of their politics — and that they’re more nuanced than how they’re made out to be a lot of the time.”
It’s harder to exterminate individuals if you see them as people.
A man kills two people and is driving around with their bodies in the bed of a stolen pickup truck that belonged to one of the victims when he is seen by a third man, who he also kills.
The bodies of the two in the bed of the truck were bound with tape on their hands and feet and had suffered several gunshot wounds. The third victim, who apparently was killed because he came upon the crime in progress was shot five times, including a coup de grace to the head.
There is no description of the killer, even though he is named in the article as 23 year old Bryan Rhoden. They also make no guesses as to the motivation of the killer. I wonder why not?
Oh, now I see. News reports describe the shooter as an up-and-coming rapper who goes by the name B Rod, who has more than 18,000 followers on Instagram. Aren’t they ALL up and coming rappers? In this case, he was a drug dealer with a history of violent crimes, including shooting two men during a drug deal in 2016.
That isn’t all- he had a LONG and busy criminal career. He was a one man crime spree.
In May 2020, he was driving a maroon Chevy Silverado when Atlanta police pulled him over for allegedly driving with a cell phone in his hand. Police said they smelled marijuana coming from the car and placed him under arrest. A search of his vehicle revealed 44 individually rolled and packaged marijuana cigarettes and $3,000 in cash. He was cited for distracted driving and possession of marijuana. During that arrest, police learned that Rhoden had a warrant out of East Point and took him into custody. I couldn’t find out what the warrant was for.
In August 2020, Rhoden was arrested in Indiana after a high-speed chase. A state trooper reportedly attempted to pull Rhoden over for speeding in excess of 100 miles per hour when he fled the scene. After a three-mile chase at speeds up to 150 miles per hour, he was arrested and charged with resisting law enforcement, a felony, and two misdemeanor counts of reckless driving. He was released on a $5,000 bond.
In April of 2021, an Uber driver called Atlanta police claiming that Rhoden and his group got into an argument with him so he decided to pull over and kick them out. According to a report, the Uber driver told police that Rhoden threatened him with a gun. Police said Rhoden admitted having a gun but denied using it to threaten the driver. Police couldn’t determine which party was telling the truth, so they let them go their separate ways- even though Rhoden was a convicted felon and should not have had a gun at all.
If this were reversed, and the killer were white with the victims being black, we would already be hearing about how the killer had racist motivations. But a black killer with a long, violent criminal history involving drug dealing and firearms with three white victims? Well, we can’t have people rushing to conclusions. Nope, no idea why he did it.
It gets harder and harder every day not to judge people on the basis of race. How many times do you have to be hit in the face with the facts of crime in this country before you just can’t overlook race any longer?
We are supposed to ignore the fact that blacks commit nearly half of the homicides in the country, despite the fact that only one in eight Americans is black.
We are asked to ignore that murder rates don’t increase with population, but instead increase in proportion to black population. For example:
While I still believe that we cannot predict the behavior of an individual by looking at demographics, it is undeniable that blacks are more likely to be violent criminals than any other demographic. Convince me otherwise. What other explanation fits the data?
Everyone is so afraid of being labeled a ‘racist’ that they are being forced to ignore what is right in front of them. This is gaslighting at its most potent. A black man walking through the whitest neighborhood in America is supposed to be in danger of a racist attack, but the facts rarely support that. How many white people could walk through a black neighborhood in Los Angeles, Atlanta, or Memphis without being attacked?
You know the truth. Blacks know the truth. Everyone does. To admit the truth is to invite the destruction of your entire life: lose your job, become labeled a racist, become a pariah. THAT is why no one dares speak the truth.
White Americans are the Jews in the attic of today’s America. I have seen this movie before. It always ends in a bloodbath.
A family is suing Universal Studios because their half black daughter allegedly had a “white power” symbol placed upon her shoulder by a costumed character while visiting the Orlando theme park in 2019.
The man in the costume was fired, and now the family is seeking $30,000 in actual damages, plus whatever other bonus money the jury sees fit to give them as winners of the ghetto lottery.
Let’s see who else we can sue. William Shatner, who was a part of the first interracial kiss to appear on American television. Racist.
Usain Bolt. I had no idea he was a closet racist.
Eddie Murphy. Of course he is a racist. He was also a huge homophobe, so why not a secret racist?
Oh shit, not you too, Oprah.
No, not THAT one, this one:
A former Olympic athlete comes forward with the real story behind trannies in Olympic sports. It seems as though many female athletes are opposed to competing against girls with cocks, but they were threatened into silence.
We were told not to talk to the media and were warned that if we did we could bring the sport into disrepute and then could miss out on being selected or could be dropped from national teams.
These young women were forced into silence by the powers that be who threatened them with an end to their Olympic careers if they spoke out. Then the trannies took their place on the Olympic team, ending these young women’s careers anyway.
The US Army is investigating this lieutenant colonel for reportedly creating a series of lies over several years in order to carry out affairs with several women. Scummy enough, but it gets worse.
Lt. Col. Richard Kane Mansir, a civil affairs officer based at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, has had “serious, long-term relationships” with at least six other women over the last five years, while still married to his wife of 18 years. That’s a bit worse, you say, but this isn’t even close to the worst part.
He lied about being on deployments, going so far as to fake papers claiming that he was deploying to Afghanistan and that he received the Silver Star. He rented a townhouse for one woman who was pregnant with their child, went on trips with another woman he was engaged to, and even met the womens’ parents. He told them he was divorced, and told them that one of his three children had died. Wow, but wait, there’s more.
He had serious relationships with at least five women in as many years. He apparently targeted subordinates and widows of men who died in combat—women who’d be too embarrassed to say anything about it, or whose careers would be ruined if they did. Oh, so this guy is a complete whoring scumbag.
He eventually got caught, like all such people do, and now has to pay the price for his stupidity.
This is not the sign of a well disciplined military. The “politically unreliable” troops are all being run out of the service while whoremongering, pencil pushing douchebags like this are the only ones who will remain.
Too bad Afghanistan is over. The Army should send this dude to command an isolated firebase staffed with security troops consisting of the buddies of the dead soldiers whose widows this guy was fucking, all armed with a big bag full of frags. Bringing back the time honored tradition of fragging officers would be the only justice to be had here.
Is the title of this post crass? Of course it is. It is still not as crass as a commissioned officer preying on the widows of dead soldiers.
I know the court case was in April and the murders happened five years ago, but this is the first I heard of it. This loser and his entire family killed the mother of his child and her entire family because of a child custody dispute. What in the hell is happening in this country?
Looking for information. I just ordered the parts to complete a DPMS pattern AR308. This is actually the second stage of completing my skirmish rifle project from last year. If you don’t need to read the entire thing, scroll down to the last paragraph for my question. If you are a gun nerd who likes to tinker, read on:
For those who aren’t familiar with the build, I did the upper last year. I took a DPMS Oracle and reworked the upper. I put a new barrel, BCG, and forend on the rifle. I did this because parts were hard to come by at the time, and I did what I could with the parts that I could find.
I reworked it by replacing the 16 inch heavy barrel that came with the rifle with an 18 inch Faxon pencil barrel. Then I added an EDGE 15 inch Carbon Fiber handguard from Brigand Arms, an adjustable gas block, a Nitromet gas tube, and a Gemtech compensator. I also replaced the bolt carrier with a low mass bolt carrier from JP rifles. At the time, JP didn’t have any bolts. They do now, so we will go ahead with that.
I decided to go all out and build my dream AR308. So this is what I have come up with so far:
Total cost for the completed upper was just over $1400, and I completed it back in December. (I had to add a couple of things so that I could reassemble my Oracle. When I am done, I will have 2 AR rifles in 308). The next part of the project will be building a lower receiver.
I began this build by buying a Freedom Kit from 5D tactical. The whole kit costs $584. The majority of that cost covers the jig and tools needed to complete the two 80 percent lowers that are part of the kit. That also means that I get a 223 lower to practice on before I do the 308 one. I am only going to count $140 of the cost of the kit against the cost of this rifle.
I have no relationship with any of the vendors or manufacturers mentioned in this post, other than me being a customer. The prices paid and any discounts I received were those available to the general public.
Here is my information request. I am looking for recommendations for two important parts. I am looking for recommendations for a drop in trigger and a buffer assembly. For the buffer, I am thinking either a captured spring buffer like this one, or a hydraulic buffer like this one. What do you my readers think?
Nancy Pelosi announced that the Capitol Police will be setting up a field office in Tampa whose purpose is to “protect Congress.” I don’t see where Congress gets the authority to police the states. Anyone see that in the Constitution anywhere? Chief Yogananda is happy about the power, money, and prestige that comes with being able to hunt down Pelosi’s political opponents.
Sundance over at Conservative Treehouse sees it like I do– this is an ominous sign that portions of the Federal government are making a power grab. This is something to be concerned about:
I will say it again…. stop and hear the drums… Something is about to happen; federal agencies are acting in a very proactive manner. This shift by Nancy Pelosi is yet another advance move in preparation for, or in defense of, something they are planning for. Either they are doing something; fearful of us discovering something; or they are preparing for us to react to something and they are pre-positioning assets to defend against it. They are all-in and it shows.

Incidentally, I would bet you that the satellite offices are located somewhere near the US Attorney’s office, found here. Odd coincidence that it is across the street from “Gaslight Park.”
The National Hockey League is adding a team during the off season this year. The team is the Seattle Kraken. I love the team name, because the jokes write themselves:
Nevermind. Being Seattle, they have to fuck it all up, and call the arena “The Climate Pledge Arena” with the following pledge:
Our goal is to be the most progressive, responsible, and sustainable arena in the world.
It might sound ambitious—
but that’s the point.
