Here is President Biden’s statement on the pardon he issued for his son.
You hear that? The President of the United States, who at the time was a Democrat, says that gun laws are not being enforced. Lying on a 4473 is not a real crime, according to the left.
I have always maintained that using the military to hunt terrorists is not an efficient way of using government resources. We should instead use letters of marque or reprisal. Imagine if Congress had simply issued a letter of reprisal, offering a reward of $1 Billion for anyone who brings Osama bin Laden into American custody to stand trial, or $700 million if they bring in his dead body. His own followers would have brought him in within a month, or in the alternative, a dozen private companies would have competed for the prize.
We would have saved trillions of dollars and nearly a million lives.
Holiday weekends are always outliers in the emergency department, and coupled with the cooler temperatures and rain that we had, Thanksgiving was even more so. We weren’t busy, with our census hovering at around 60%. We didn’t get a lot of patients, but the ones we got were sick. In other words, we were a true emergency department and not just a free clinic for welfare queens, homeless bums, drug addicts, and illegal immigrants.
My shift was cancelled on Thanksgiving day because there were only 40 patients in a unit with the capacity of over 100. My wife and I had not made dinner plans because I was supposed to be working. We discussed having a freezer pizza, then decided to go out. All of the restaurants in the area were either closed or full, so we wound up driving to Orlando and eating at Maggiano’s. It was amazing.
I actually worked on Friday. A man came in complaining of flank pain. He had a history of kidney stones, so that’s what I worked him up for. It turns out that it wasn’t stones- when his CT scan came back, he was riddled with cancer.
Another man came in came in complaining of shortness of breath that we diagnosed with lung cancer.
At one point, we had a brief rush of patients during the 90 minutes that we were briefly understaffed. The morning nurses had gone home, and the ones scheduled for the afternoon hadn’t come in yet. I was covering 5 rooms for that period, and I was OK with that because three of them were empty. Then a line of ambulances came in to give me an asthmatic, a hip fracture, and a woman with a blood sugar of over 500. While that was going on, a woman flagged me down to unhook her father from telemetry so he could use the bathroom. He wasn’t my patient and I was quite busy, but it only takes a minute. I unhooked him and started to leave, and she stopped me to say, “He doesn’t walk well. I need you to walk him over there.”
I replied that I was too busy to do so and left to go see my patients, so she began yelling at me while following me across the department. I told her that she could walk him to the bathroom if she wanted to. It was at that point that she began yelling even louder and started telling me that I am a dick. She then said, “I am going to go get the doctor and tell him what an ass you are. I hope you get fired.”
My response was to call security. I told security to remove her to the lobby until she learns to control herself and act like an adult. Her husband chimed in at this point, saying “That’s my wife. She’s just worried about her father.” Security asked me if I wanted the husband removed as well, and I replied with: “No, he isn’t interfering with my patient care, just her.”
She ran over to one of the ED doctors and began complaining. The joke is on her. Doctors don’t run the hospital, nurses do. People think that because doctors write prescriptions and orders for patient care, that doctors are in charge, but that isn’t how hospitals work.
Anyhow, my charge nurse had to get involved at this point. He pulled me into the medication room and asked me what happened, then agreed with me that her following me around the ED was interfering with my care of my patients. They decided to teach me a lesson by having the father sign out of the hospital against medical advice. All because I was too busy taking care of sick people to be her personal butler. I guess she showed me.
On top of that, I had a patient with COVID, two with RSV, and the funniest one of all. A woman had gotten in a physical altercation with her roommate, and it was so funny I had to leave the room to keep from laughing. It went like this:
It was at that point that I had to leave the room to keep from laughing.
That was my holiday weekend. Now to resume normal blogging…
The IRS is stupid and lazy, and your government is evil. Read this story and tell me about justice. You don’t hate our government nearly enough.
As you all know, I have been off on vacation for the past few weeks. We went to the Bahamas, then were back for a couple of days before leaving for 5 days to Myrtle Beach. While we were there, I went on a pilgrimage to Palmetto State Armory. I made a few small purchases and wound up $500 poorer as I left. (no firearms, of course) I did see some things there that have me ideas for my next build.
We stayed at a Hilton, and they were posted as not allowing any firearms, which has been Hilton’s policy forever. They don’t allow anyone, even off duty police, to carry. They are hypocritical assholes, because they make exceptions to their “no firearms” policy thusly:
The Hilton family owns firearms and has 24/7 armed bodyguard protection. Well, I can’t afford armed bodyguards, so fuck them. I don’t give a shit. Concealed means concealed.
There were numerous businesses around Myrtle Beach that were posted, and signs have the force of law in SC, but again, I don’t care. If I get shot or robbed, those businesses aren’t going to pay for my medical bills, so fuck them.
I am done being nice.
While we are on the subject of being nice, the left is now demanding that the right play nice and play bipartisan games while trying to unite the country. No sale. For the past 8 years, I have been called racist, NAZI, misogynist, deplorable, uneducated, and ignorant. The left censored me and others with my views from social media, threatened to put me in a camp, locked me in my home for months, threatened to put me in jail, and said they wanted me dead. They tried to deplatform me, as well as trying to contact my employer to get me fired. At the same time, the left is saying that they don’t want to associate with members of their own families who didn’t vote like they did. For crying out loud, they have been KILLING people. Let’s not forget all that we have been through since 2015. Remember this shit?
I am not playing nice. As far as I am concerned, I am at war with the left. Sure, I haven’t yet gotten to the point of lethal means of combat, but I am fighting this war with everything that I have short of lethal force. I am not going to be nice, nor am I interested in being united with them. You said that you are my enemy and that you want me dead or in a camp. There is no reconciliation from that.
Biden is seriously talking about arming Ukraine with nukes because he thinks Russia will surrender to Ukraine under threat of nuclear war. Me? I think that Zelinsky will use one as soon as he gets them.
No, this is the left saying that they would rather destroy the world than let Trump be President.
Either way, this ends with the world’s first nuclear war. I need to start building my bomb shelter.
It is possible with today’s technology to produce a diamond that is virtually indistinguishable from a natural diamond. Governments are rushing to force diamond sellers to call man-made diamonds “synthetic diamonds.” The choice of terms is, in my mind, selected to bring to mind “fake diamonds” in a move intended to protect diamond miners and not the consumer.
This mobile home park (filled with $200,000 trailers) in Miami is getting cleaned out in favor of low income housing.
A personal story of how things happen. This will tie in to a later post.
In 2016, I was attacked in my classroom by a student. In fact, it was a black student. He jumped me in my classroom, and in the ensuing struggle, I pinned him to the floor and called for help. The vice-principal suspended the student for ten days. The school resource officer (also black) came in to ask me what happened, and read me my Miranda rights. I told him that I didn’t want to answer questions, and demanded a lawyer. In an egregious display of a disregard for my Constitutional rights, he immediately went to the Principal and told him that I was obviously guilty, because innocent people don’t have anything to hide. The cop then went to the student’s home and told them he was cleared of all discipline and would be permitted to return to school. I was placed on suspension pending investigation.
During the “investigation” my students were given writing assignments like “write about the time that Mr. Medic was a bad teacher.” As a result, a couple of females said that I “looked at them funny” which made them think I was a sexual predator. Other students complained that my class was too hard, and my grades were too low, which wrecked their GPA. Those assignments would be used against me later.
As a result of the “investigation,” the school I was working for pushed me out the door. The school told me that I would have to attend anger management courses and see a psychiatrist about my “violent tendencies.” So I quit.
After I left, the school filed an official complaint with the state of Florida, using those student writing assignments as “evidence” that I was somehow breaking the law. The school insinuated that I was a sexual predator. If my teaching license would have been removed, so would my medical licenses. I hired a lawyer who specializes in this sort of thing, and $4,000 later, it was over and I had won. After it was done, my attorney wrote a letter to the state saying that he has been a lawyer for more than 20 years, and that this was the worst example of an attempt at railroading a teacher through the manufacturing of evidence that he had ever seen.
In the six years since he turned 18, that student has become a one man crime wave. He started a “business” that never really existed except on paper, then applied for a 6 figure PPP loan under that business name, a loan which he never paid back.
He has been arrested no fewer than 4 times, and this last time was for a felony. He attacked a cop after fleeing from him at speeds of over 170 miles per hour on the highway, before switching to surface streets where he was fleeing at over 140 miles per hour. His case is pending, but my bet is that he won’t do any jail time.
The girl who was the ringleader of the girls who said I “looked at them” in a creepy manner? She now works as a Democrat staffer as a “community organizer.”
That’s what our “justice” system is- the violent felons commit crime after crime, never facing any consequences, the left women toss around accusations of sexual violence and harassment, while the honest hardworking folks are told that they have anger management issues and are accused of being predators.
The gaslighting is over the top. This is why mere accusations can’t be permitted to affect someone’s life. People have learned that they can win by merely accusing someone of something, with no proof required.
