More knees needed

A man in Ocala Florida was attacked on May 2 by three feral critters who used a baseball bat and a shovel to beat him during a robbery. The man had multiple skull injuries and fractured vertebrae as a result of the beating, and had to be placed in a medically induced coma when he was taken to the hospital due to his injuries.

The three critters were 32-year-old Darrielle Murphy, 33-year-old Keshana Oliver, and 19-year-old Jakecio Pollard. Pollard is in custody and considering that he is only 19, is already off to a great start on his career at being a lifelong violent criminal. He was arrested for petit theft, but they dropped the charges, they also convicted him of drug possession and giving a false name to a LEO, crimes which sent him to jail for 16 days. At the time of the robbery, he was awaiting trial for a jail escape.

Murphy and Oliver are still at large. They are pictured here:

Keshana Oliver has felony convictions going back to 2007. Those include burglary, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, battery, tampering with witness, tampering with evidence, affray (fighting/rioting in jail), threatening a public official, grand theft, assault during a burglary, attacking a LEO, three different cases of driving while license suspended, providing false identification, and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. For his crimes, he has been sent to prison 4 times, having served a total of 18 months in jail.

In the case of Darielle Murphy (street name “Bumbo”), the earliest crime that wasn’t a traffic offense that I could find was for “trespassing on school property after warning” in 2007 when he was 18 years old, but the arrest affidavit was sealed. Included in the paperwork for this crime was “violation of probation” which means that there were earlier convictions, but they were likely while he was a juvenile and records were sealed. Anyway, his visible convictions going back to 2009. They include charges for domestic battery (at least three convictions), tampering with evidence, escape, grand theft (at least three convictions), drug possession, battery, witness tampering, at least three convictions for petit theft, motor vehicle theft, theft of a firearm, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, armed burglary, and multiple convictions for resisting arrest with violence. He also had charges dropped on “lewd and lascivious battery on a child 12-16” there as well. For his crimes, this guy has been in prison 15 times for a total 4 years and 7 months in custody.

Murphy and Oliver are career violent criminals, with Pollard following in their footsteps. They have each committed numerous violent felonies, and it is only a matter of time before they murder someone. The short bit of time they have served seems like a slap on the wrist for the long list of crimes that they have committed.

There are far more blacks like them than there are successful black professionals.

Dark Money

When it came to the Trump administration, Dark Money (money from groups that do not disclose their contributors) was cast as being evil, somehow unethical.

But have no fear, now that Biden is in charge, dark money is once again safe for women, children, and little puppies.

Dark money group launches $2 million pressure campaign on moderate lawmakers to pass parts of Biden’s agenda

See? Now dark money is GOOD for us.

Terminator

Donald Trump has been marked for termination. The Communist Democrat party has decided that he must be destroyed, and they have sent their Terminator, the New York State Attorney General, to get rid of him. In addition to the Manhattan DA, the New York AG is now investigating the Trump Organization ‘in a criminal capacity.’

They will not stop until they have killed his chances of influencing the national stage.

Listen. And understand. That terminator is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

Apples

Two years ago, I posted about a Florida deputy who was was recently caught planting drugs on drivers during traffic stops. He had apparently been doing it for years, and more than 100 people were charged based upon the drugs he ‘found’ in their cars. The pattern was the same- pull the car over on some pretext, claim that he could smell marijuana, and then meth would be found. Mysteriously, his camera would not be turned on until AFTER the drugs were found. In one case, he did leave the camera on, and it caught the drugs in his hand right before he planted them.

He was just convicted on 19 counts including racketeering, official misconduct, fabricating evidence, perjury, false imprisonment and possession of controlled substances and drug paraphernalia.

Before anyone says that this is because of “racist cops” the article from the Democrat shows 36 people who were victims of his scheme, and only four of them were black. Not racism, just an officer trying to make a name for himself.

End run

Let’s say that the police want to search your home. Lacking probable cause that a crime has been committed, they cannot get a warrant to do so. Well, that isn’t going to slow them down. They simply pay a burglar to break into your home, take some photos of whatever it was they were hoping to find, and then turn you in. Ridiculous?

How about the cop who was fired for donating to the Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund after a hacker released a list of donors obtained from the server of the company that processed the donations? What about that the Space Force Commander who was removed from his post for opposing Marxism? The US government is now monitoring the social media of military members, and getting rid of those who have political opinions not in line with full on communism. Violation of all sorts of rights?

They have decided that coopting a private agency to violate your rights is not a violation per se, because the government isn’t the one actually doing it. How long until they skip all of the other steps and just have companies imprison or simply execute American citizens without trial and without evidence. As long as it isn’t an actual government employee depriving you of your rights, it’s Constitutional, right?

Even worse, what if it turns out that the company who does it is actually run by government agents operating under the “signature reduction” program?

Sue them

I have been talking about evictions and how landlords are being blamed for the problems caused through government malfeasance.

Landlords all over are saying that they are being put out of business because they are not being permitted to remove non paying tenants from their property. The government claims to offer rental assistance, but it is a sham. A year of rent free living often means that tenants owe tens of thousands of dollars in back rent. These rental assistance plans often require that landlords sign an agreement which states that they agree to accept whatever the government sends as full and final payment for all past due rent. So the landlord is expected to accept pennies on the dollar.

Instead, some landlords in New Jersey have found a better way. After fourteen months of watching their money go out without a dime in rent being paid, they have had enough. They can’t evict- but they can sue. They go to court, sue the tenant, and get a judgement for the past due rent.

Such lawsuits do not violate the governor’s eviction moratorium. That has the communists going apoplectic.

“I don’t think it’s in the spirit of the moratorium,” Albert added.

The claimed “Spirit” and legal basis for the moratorium was that people who have been evicted pose a risk for spreading COVID. It is supposedly an infection control measure. Of course, we all know the truth: the eviction moratorium is just another giveaway program- one paid for by property owners.

Communism, isn’t it great?

Holy Crap

The women who threw a severed pig’s head onto the porch of a house that used to belong to the expert witness for the defense in the Chauvin trial have been arrested.

Those are some seriously ugly -er- women. Holy shit. That one in the middle looks like Jerry Seinfeld and Rosie O’Donnell had a love child. Don’t even try to picture what happened the night that Rosie tried to convince Jerry to to let her play the part of Elaine.

Let’s look at a Conservative woman to help clear our palate a bit.

Selection Bias

This story says that people with college degrees whose parents also have a college degree make more money than those whose parents don’t have a college degree. It also found that for children without a college degree, it made no difference if their parents had a college degree or not.

Why? My opinion (you knew I would have one)

If a parent has a degree in a field that pays good money, say medicine, law, or STEM, also tends to have children who follow in their footsteps. Examples: I have a degree in the medical field. My son is a nurse practitioner. My uncle has a degree in computer engineering. My cousin got a degree in marine engineering and is on the design team for the Navy’s LCS.

What if a parent doesn’t have a degree? They assume that all college degrees have equal value. They convince the kids that they need to go to college and get a waste of a degree in Leisure studies, music, or Gender Studies. A degree is a degree, right? Example: My wife’s cousin has a degree in outdoor recreation. She is largely jobless and spends all of her time smoking weed and banging Colorado ski instructors. Or you can simply look at every Asian and Jewish family in America and observe that Asian and Jewish mothers consider an education to be a gift from God.

A parent who goes to college and gets a degree in Gender Studies or some other useless major winds up working at a McJob and decides that a degree is worthless. He tells the kid the same thing. Kid doesn’t go to college and winds up in the same company with the same McJob at the same pay as dad.

Evictions in Orlando

The Orlando Sentinel did a recent three part story in evictions. The story that I am posting about today was published on May 13. The woman at the heart of the first part of the story is Jocelyn Bennett, a nursing assistant who lost her job at a senior living facility. Dexter, her husband, had been between jobs, finding work through a temp agency. They were already on food stamps. In April, they couldn’t cover the rent. Their landlord told them they needed to be out in 30 days. And the family became homeless in a matter of weeks.

She claims that they cannot find a job. Bullshit. My hospital has more than a dozen openings for nursing assistants. We are supposed to have eight nursing assistants on each floor on each shift. Lately, we have had as few as three. We are also short on biomedical technicians (they repair medical devices like ECG machines, ventilators, medication pumps, etc.), we need telemetry monitors, nurses, and even people to work in the kitchens.

The article blames minimum wage, claiming that the minimum wage has only gone up by $2.50 since 2005. In 2005, Florida’s minimum wage was $6.15 an hour. They estimate that an Orlando resident would have to make $23 an hour, or a $47,840 yearly salary, to afford a two-bedroom rental that costs $1,248 per month. What? Where do they get these numbers from? Since $47K a year is far above the average wage for Orlando, how is everyone else affording all of these apartments?

Here is Bennet’s problem: She has 5 fucking kids. She couldn’t afford them before COVID. That isn’t her landlord’s fault. It isn’t because of minimum wage. It isn’t because she can’t find a job, nor is it because rent is too expensive. It is because our government pays people to have more kids, so she is literally breeding for a living.

The second woman was Alexiss Green, who quit her $50k a year job, then bought two houses while she rented another. Her intention was to flip the two houses, probably because she watches too much HGTV. Her investment failed, and she lost both houses, can no longer pay rent, and now we are all supposed to feel sorry for her and screw over her landlord by letting her live in her apartment for free.

“I’m not a deadbeat person who doesn’t pay her bills, I’m just a person in a hard situation,” Green said. She said she understands her landlord has bills, too, “but I don’t have control over what’s going on in the world right now.”

Regardless, I don’t see how any of this is her landlord’s problem. See, he made a wise business decision and is successful in his business. For that, he should be required to let her live in his home for free?

Her landlord, who’s in his 70s, says he’s on a fixed income and is using Social Security payments to pay his mortgage. He doesn’t have a lawyer, either.

A week later, the judge’s ruling arrives in the mail. Green prays over the envelope before ripping it open. It’s bad news. The judge ruled she hadn’t made any “timely partial payments,” even $5 or $10 a month. She has 10 days to move out.

Note: It has been over a year since she paid a single dime in rent. Not even a dollar. Yet we are supposed to feel sorry for her and throw the landlord out into the street.

A few days later, Green gets an email from Lake County saying she’s been approved for $9,000 in rent relief. According to county staff, it will go to the landlord who evicted her.

That is only fair, since she lived in the house for over a year- owing $22,000 in unpaid rent, with the landlord only receiving a single $4,000 government rent assistance payment. This $9,000 doesn’t even cover half of what the landlord is owed, once court costs for the eviction are factored in.

This isn’t an eviction crisis. It is a stupid people who don’t know how to run their lives, but expect everyone else to pay their freight crisis.

Can’t get over this

The more that I think about the covert operations that I posted about here, the more that it bothers me. Whenever one is criticized for courting conspiracy theories, one commonly hears the reasoning “too many people would have to be in on it.” The scandals seem to come along every month or so: the IRS targeting by Obama, US Post Office spying on people, Fast and Furious, and more. When major events happen, say a mass shooting, we often hear that he was “known to law enforcement” but rarely how.

Then we read about this force of 60,000 military and civilian people whose job is to operate right here in the USA, each branch of the military has an intelligence branch, plus the CIA, NSA, DIA, NIA, who along with all of the spooks in the FBI, ATF, and other law enforcement agencies are busy collecting information and intelligence- even though the CIA and the US military are prohibited from operating in the US. Then even all of THAT isn’t enough and they must coopt other companies, as well as the US postal service.

No wonder they felt strong enough to steal the election.

This is the EXACT thing that the founders wanted to prevent when they prohibited a standing army in the Constitution. Trump wanted to drain the swamp. It turns out it wasn’t a swamp, it was a tsunami. The US has a shadow army, completely free of Congressional oversight, completely unaccountable to the citizens of the United States. This doesn’t look good for freedom, democracy, or the rule of law.
