After being banned in Nigeria, Twitter claims that access to its website is a human right. Considering this decision, they can suck my balls. I hope they die in a crotch fire.

NJ socializes property
The New Jersey governor just signed a law which extends the state’s eviction moratorium to January of 2022. This means that owners of residential rental property in New Jersey have not collected rent in nearly two years. At what point is this an unconstitutional taking of private property for public use?
The only way out for these property owners is either bankruptcy, which means the state gets the property, or a mysterious fire, which gets the owner an insurance check.

McAfee
I bought a new laptop last year. It came with McAfee antivirus. Because I was working from home, I got an email virus from a work email. I don’t think I was the target, I think the hackers were trying to target my school district. The payload was the ech0raix malware. McAfee never detected the virus, and didn’t do a thing to clean the computer.
I lost everything. All of my data. The weakness of the virus is that it saves an encrypted version of all of your files using a randomly generated key. No one with the possible exception of the NSA can decrypt it. Then it deletes the original. That was the weakness that my IT friend was able to exploit. We got the files back, but filenames and metadata was lost. So now I have a couple of hundred thousand files without names. The only way to find out what a file is, is to open it and then rename the file. I gave up on that about 11 months ago. Tedious.
Why do I mention this now?
Because McAffee is telling me that my year subscription is up, and is asking me to renew. They have a money back guarantee that, if you get a virus and they cannot retrieve your data, they will refund you the purchase price of their software.
Being a gambler, I can tell you that this is a sucker’s bet. The overwhelming majority of their users won’t get a virus, thus making you the loser of the bet and McAfee the winner. Those who DO get the virus must send the computer in to be ‘cleaned’ and data recovered, if possible. Those who can’t be cleaned, McAfee ‘loses’ the bet, and you ‘win’ your money back- a push.
This virus software is not very good, and their “guarantee” is a sucker’s bet- a gimmick designed to take your money.
Education
Race quota in education
The Biden administration is bringing back an Obama era policy of racial quotas in school discipline. One of the many problems that forced my exit from education was my experience with this policy, although I was not aware that the policy had ever ceased. Behavior that gets a white student suspended will not even merit a stern talking to if displayed by a black student.

Child, felon, killer
News in the Orlando area about two kids, ages 14 and 12, who committed a burglary, stole some guns, then engaged in a shootout with responding police. The two kids ran away from a local foster home, the Florida United Methodist Children’s Home. The home has a history of trouble, with the police responding there as many as 200 times a year. In March, one of the foster kids residing there beat and murdered one of the home’s security guards.
The pair used a shovel, a crowbar and large rocks to break windows to break into the home, where they then used baseball bats to destroy furniture, toilets and a tub. They soon located the homeowner’s guns — an AK-47, a pump shotgun, and a handgun, along with 200 rounds of ammunition.
The older one, a girl, was recorded saying, “I’m gonna roll this down like GTA.” They fired on police for over 90 minutes while police tried to negotiate. Police finally returned fire, striking the girl in the chest. Video of parts of the shootout can be found here as well as here.
The 14 year old girl has been arrested for stealing puppies in 2018 and for setting several fires when she was at another facility in Flagler County. The 12 year old boy has been in foster care since 2016 and just a month ago threatened “to kill a student and spread his guts all over the bleachers” while at school.
Both of them now face felony charges of attempted first-degree murder of law enforcement officers and armed burglary. Sheriff Mike Chitwood has this to say about the juvenile justice system:
“The brainiacs in Tallahassee, they want to do this restorative justice stuff. They need to take a deep look and say, ‘Something’s not right here,’ because where the rubber meets the road, these kids are killers. They’re capable of killing. This juvenile citation (expletive) that you hear from these faith groups, they need to worry about what’s going on in the pulpit in their church, not worried about what’s going on on the (expletive) streets when you have 14-year-olds and 12-year-olds arming themselves,” Chitwood said.
I have layers of security. Cameras. Alarm system. Gun safe. All of it is designed to prevent amateur attempts and slow down more professional attempts. Please secure your weapons in a safe. Even a cheap gun safe would have prevented the teens from accessing the weapons, and one can be had for less than $150. If long guns won’t fit in a small safe, remove the bolts from the long guns and lock THEM in the safe.

Math is irrelevant
Doctor Fauci dismissed a physicist’s warning that the Chinese COVID numbers were fabricated, saying that the warning was “too long to read.” If my seven years teaching high school taught me anything, it is this: When people don’t understand something, they claim it is “long and boring.” I saw high school students do this all of the time.
This is the crux of the entire issue with the left: they don’t understand anything, therefore they find it long and boring, and dismiss it out of hand. Guns, math, basically anything becomes too difficult and dry to even try and comprehend, hence they govern their behavior with feelings instead of logic.
Look at Larry Correia’s dismantling of the 2020 election. Statistics is a valid branch of mathematics. Using math, one can show that the results of the election are not possible. Democrats don’t understand that, so they dismiss it.
Same with gun laws. Logic and math are incomprehensible, so we will FEEL instead. When that doesn’t work because people won’t accept it, they throw a temper fit and go all Princess Stampy Feet.

No evidence
The first case of over 500 stemming from the January 6 Trump rally is being dropped for lack of evidence.
No evidence. That doesn’t surprise me.

Pot, kettle
Colorado Democrat says that he is tired of playing games with the Republicans on the Capitol riot.
“I made the call to my wife, told her I loved her. I didn’t know whether I would be able to make it out of that chamber like dozens or other members, like journalists, police officers there,” he said.
Pussy. Hiding in fear behind armed guards who were busy killing unarmed women. The only person killed was killed by one of your armed guards.
Whatever. Remember what you assholes did for the ENTIRE Trump Presidency?
