Late

So the tenant in my rental was late on the rent, because she tells me that she is short of money this month. According to her social media page, she took her 2 daughters to Europe to see a pair of Taylor Swift concerts.

This is why I have no sympathy for tenants who are late because they are short on money. She bought six Taylor Swift tickets, 3 round trips of airfare, and hotels for a week in Europe, which probably cost in the neighborhood of $7500 or more, but expects me to feel sorry for her and not charge late fees because she doesn’t have enough money for rent.

I don’t care what she does with her money, but I do care that she didn’t pay her rent on time. That’s why I don’t buy people’s sob stories.

But is it, really?

Two men were arrested for stealing a firearm. But was it really stealing? A moron of a Seminole County deputy left his firearm in a gas station bathroom, where it was found by a pair of men. One of them refused to pick it up because he was a convicted felon. The other took it with him and sold it for $40.

Both have been arrested for theft of a firearm, and the ex-felon was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. If they get a decent lawyer, they just might beat those charges.

  • They didn’t steal the gun- it was left in a public bathroom.
  • There is no evidence that the convicted felon ever had possession of the handgun.
  • The state could argue that they knew it was a crime because they concealed the handgun when they walked out of the gas station, but a decent lawyer will claim that they concealed it because open carry is illegal in Florida.

The only crime that was committed here in my opinion, is that the Deputy left his firearm where anyone could reach it- with the barrel wedged into a toilet paper roll in the stall of a public bathroom. Those two are no more guilty of stealing that firearm than the deputy is in trafficking firearms.

Silencing the Right

The attack on free speech by the FBI continues. The latest claim by the Feds is that the Russians have paid 2800 social media influencers to spread pro-Trump propaganda and influence the election. According to them, the propaganda includes:

  • Republicans are “victims of discrimination of people of color”
  • white middle-class people are being discriminated against

The claim is that the Russians are using AI and other tactics, and they have documents from the highest levels of the Russian government to prove it. So the FBI is seizing 32 web domains. This is how they are going to silence and neutralize the right’s pushback on social media. If you are pro-Trump, if you believe that we are being replaced by illegal immigrants, if you think that whites are being discriminated against, don’t believe your lying eyes- instead trust that the FBI is working to keep you safe from this dangerous Russian disinformation. Trust them, they love you and want to protect you from the double plus ungood thoughts that you are having.

Disappearances will begin shortly. It’s for their (and your) own good.

Yelling Expletives at Your Computer

I would not have been as calm about this stop as this guy was, especially when the cop grabbed me by the throat. The officer involved is Matthew Mercado of the Walnut Ridge, Arkansas police department.

When the man in the video, Adam Finley, went to the Walnut Ridge Police Department to complain, he was given citations for refusal to submit to arrest and obstructing governmental operations with the tickets being written by officer Matt Cook with the permission of Police Chief Chris Kirksey. After a trial on April 3, 2017, in Lawrence County District Court, Finley was acquitted of the charges.

Finley sued, and the city of Walnut Ridge settled out of court, paying him $57,500 in damages.

I used to be fairly backing of the cops. No longer. As far as I am concerned, the police are an out of control, armed, criminal gang of violent assholes who only use force when they know the subject of their bullying behavior can’t fight back.

Fallout

The FBI story that I reported on last night will turn out to be one of the most important stories of the year, but not for the reason that everyone immediately thinks. The FBI, without evidence, has accused a couple of Russian nationals of paying conservative bloggers and influencers to support Trump, as if they need money to do so. They make the accusation without any real evidence, and the people being accused are “at large,” meaning that they aren’t going to be making any statements.

This, they claim, means that Russia is attempting to influence our elections in favor of Trump, thus making Trump a Russian agent. As if we haven’t heard this story before. This will undoubtedly push a few thousand swing votes in the direction of HOTUS. I don’t think this will turn the election, because as I have stated before, Trump never had a chance of seeing the Oval Office again.

More importantly, it gives HOTUS a reason to implement her plans of censoring the Internet.

Those evil Russian hatemongers and their leader must be kept from spreading their misinformation and propaganda on the Internet. Kamala will protect us all from the evil Russian menace.

Gun Ban

So reading this stupid shit:

Keep in mind that the books aren’t banned for reading, selling, or even printing. The rules for books are that you can’t have age inappropriate books in school libraries.

Makes me want to remind the left that the Gun Free Schools Act was passed in 1994. By your same logic, guns have been banned for 30 years. Maybe if you on the left spent more time learning history, government, and law, instead of spending time memorizing everyone’s pronouns or obsessing about your imaginary penis, you would know this. Dipshits.
