A drug ring was broken up in Orlando. Here are the weapons they had:
This gang was selling Fentanyl and Cocaine. They had grenades, suppressed uppers, and more. Passing another gun control law will have not one bit of effect on this operation.

Antigun is more important than anticop
The same leftist news media that was screaming for defunding the police is deleting my comments that police should receive firearms training. Here is the deleted comment:
The Deputy who fired this shot should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. There is no excuse for this sort of recklessly negligent horseplay. Since the sheriff seems to takeaway from this incident that the Deputy should have known the gun was loaded based upon how much it weighed, I would also suggest that the entire Sheriff’s department be forced to undergo a firearm safety refresher course. This incident is a sure sign that training is lacking and attention to firearm safety is not being taken seriously.
In this class, they can stress the four rules.1 Treat all guns as if they are always loaded. (not just when they feel heavy enough to be loaded)
2 Don’t point a gun at anything you aren’t willing to destroy (including in jest)
3 Don’t put your finger on the trigger until ready to shoot.
4 Know what your target is, and what is behind it.
The life that is saved may be your own.
Why? Because leftists hate one thing more than cops- guns. They need to make this a gun death “If a well trained cop can make this mistake, an untrained civilian won’t do any better”
Crime
I think it went swimmingly
There was a man in Missouri who murdered a police officer. He was convicted and sentenced to die. The story would end there, but his 19 year old daughter wanted to be there with him when he died, but was denied because she wasn’t yet 21. The daughter claims that the justice system failed her. Of course you know that I have some thoughts on this.
First, the convict was 37 years old on the day he was executed. His daughter was 19, making him 18 when she was born. She has a 2 month old child. Three generations of welfare recipients- children having children. The mother in this case was killed by her boyfriend when the daughter was 4 years old. It seems that the black men in this story are all about violence and death.
Second, the reason why he got the death penalty in the first place. Williams had punched his girlfriend. When the police showed up to arrest him, his brother fled on foot and collapsed of a heart attack, which was caused by a genetic defect. Williams blamed one of the cops for the death, ambushing and killing him by shooting him multiple times. Williams confessed to the murder and was sentenced to death. Of course, the leftist lawyers all cried about how the process was races ‘n sheeit. Williams claims that it was due to his mental illness.
The daughter is an advocate against capital punishment. The family’s reverend says that there were other ways to handle this. In full disclosure, I oppose the death penalty as well, but only because I don’t trust the government to get the right guy. In this case, they did. She is an advocate against the death penalty? Why not be an advocate of black people committing violent crimes or murders? Then the death penalty would be wholly unnecessary.
My feeling here? No one in this scenario seems to even consider what the police officer and his children went through. No one considers that Williams was a violent criminal with a history of committing violent felonies. So he found religion as his execution date came near. So what? He wasn’t sorry for what he did, he was sorry that he got caught. How many crimes were prevented by his incarceration and execution?
Education
Not Surprising
University of Florida had some woke bullshit BLM stuff on their medical school webpages. That doesn’t surprise me in the least. I didn’t go to UF, but this is widespread throughout US colleges. I had to listen to and report on Podcasts talking about Health Equity and how all white people have privilege and are racist.
One of those podcasts talked about how black women have worse outcomes in healthcare than do white women, and this is proof of racial bias. As evidence, the podcast offered Serina Williams’ issues during childbirth to show that black women can’t get quality care, even when rich and famous.
Except that isn’t what happened. Ms. Williams has a preexisting condition requiring that she take anticoagulants to prevent blood clots. When she was to give birth by Caesarian section, the hospital told her to stop taking the anticoagulants, as they increase the chances of severe bleeding during surgery. After the surgery, she developed blood clots because she wasn’t on her medication. That happens and had nothing to do with her race.
That doesn’t matter to the woke professors that have infected our colleges. What do you do as a student? Well, you can do what I did when I was in grad school to be a PA, which was be loud and defend your opinions, but all that does is make an enemy of the professor who will then run you out of school and make certain you won’t ever be accepted to another grad school. Or, you can do what I did when I went to nursing school: keep your mouth shut, parrot the woke party line, and try to not be noticed.

Sickening
Yahoo news says that the number of guns sold on Black Friday makes them sick. The shooting that they use to illustrate the issue was that of a 12 year old black child who was killed in Atlanta when two groups of “youths” (read as: Criminal Street Gangs) started shooting at each other.
The kid wasn’t “caught in the crossfire” he was an active participant, a street gang member himself. Don’t blame me and my guns because your criminal child is involved in gang activity.
“I tried, y’all. I called the police office almost 30 times in the last two years, and they told me they can’t do nothing. I said he’s out and breaking into these folks’ cars, can you please get him off the street,” Deerica [his mother] said.
Now mom claims he wasn’t actually *IN* the gang, but he was running around with other criminals, committing felonies. I suppose he wasn’t in the gang because he hadn’t paid his annual dues to the club?
EDITED TO ADD: Four days after Black Friday, we know exactly how many guns were sold. Three weeks after election day, we still don’t know how many votes were cast and for whom.

Don’t Register Shit
Don’t get treatment is what I take from this, unless you want Hawaii or some other government taking your guns.
Or perhaps just don’t register shit. Registration always results in confiscation.

A Couple from the NY Post
This woman is “raising free range kids,” meaning that she allows them to do anything they want: Shave their heads, eat nothing but ice cream, or simply refuse to go to school. Literally no rules. That isn’t raising kids, that isn’t being a parent. This woman is a “stay at home” mom- meaning that she has no job. The father of her children is her “domestic partner” and earns a living “reselling” (Meaning on Ebay). On other words, they are collecting welfare, which is why they aren’t married. (Single moms get more money).
What this is, is breeding children so that you can collect more welfare money. Hey, I am OK with raising kids like this, as long as you AND your kids are not eligible to vote or to collect any public money in the form of handouts. Why? Because being a part of a society means having to contribute to that society, not be a free range leech.
The second article is the New York law that is coming. It prohibits landlords from performing a criminal background check on prospective tenants. This increases potential liability and risk for landlords, which increases costs. Those increased costs will be passed on to everyone. Congratulations, you get a criminal for a next door neighbor, AND your rent is going up. Again.

More ACLU Idiocy
Here is what the ACLU has to say today:
They are instead trying a new spin to an old theme. Instead of communism being the workers’ paradise, it will be a POC paradise. Instead of dividing people into proletariat and bourgeoisie, we are dividing them into white and POC. This system is merely a way to divide us so that the nation can be torn down, with themselves in charge. They are nothing but a propaganda spewing fake news arm at this point.
Instead of calling them the American Civil Liberties Union, let’s call them what they have become: The American Communist Liberation Union. Don’t forget that the ACLU no longer supports free speech. They support only speech that agrees with the left’s positions.
Our defense of speech may have a greater or lesser harmful impact on the equality and justice work to which we are also committed,
The ACLU has stated: Moving forward, when deciding whether to take a free speech case, the organization will consider “factors such as the (present and historical) context of the proposed speech; the potential effect on marginalized communities; the extent to which the speech may assist in advancing the goals of white supremacists or others whose views are contrary to our values; and the structural and power inequalities in the community in which the speech will occur.
The ACLU is the antithesis of a civil rights organization. They have become an organization that supports suppressing and destroying anything counter to their political beliefs.

Why Do You Support Those Who Hate You?
The left accuses the right of hating them, but we don’t execute them, and we don’t do this:
So why does the left love the Islamic people so much? Especially gay people? You do realize that the Islamic folks will kill you if they ever gain power, right?

Listening to a Child
It’s the holidays, and holidays mean seeing family. One of the family members I managed to see was my niece. Talking to her is always instructive, as I think that it’s important to peer into the minds of young people. The niece I am talking about? The same one from this post, where we talked about economics.
This conversation involved her announcement that she is a lesbian. I asked her why she thought she was a lesbian. Her reply was that a lesbian is someone who likes girls more than boys, and since she likes girls and isn’t too fond of boys, that means she is a lesbian. I asked her if she had ever kissed a girl, and she replied that no, she hadn’t. See, there is the confusion. Adults in her life are telling her that she must be a lesbian because she doesn’t like boys.
I have news for those on the left- many children at that age don’t like the opposite sex. Girls and boys like different things at that age, and for the most part don’t have many common interests. As a preteen, I was playing baseball and roughhousing. The girls were boring because they played with dolls makeup. I remember at summer camp, we chanted “2, 4, 6, 8, all the girls evaporate.” That didn’t make us gay. We didn’t develop sexual interests for several more years. I wasn’t interested in girls until I was 14 or so.
The same thing happened with my 21 year old niece- she said she was a lesbian and a vegetarian, until she wasn’t. Now she lives with her boyfriend and eats meat. OK, not all meat. She doesn’t like red meat, but I see her eat seafood and chicken on the regular.
For all of these issues, I blame my sister. She is a moron, a welfare queen, and a Democrat. I think the one is a precondition for the other. First, she believed that they drill wells, and if they hit water, they build a house. If they hit oil, they build a gas station. This wasn’t when she was a kid, either. She believed that in her 30s. Anyhow, she was a waitress until her child support for her oldest daughter came to a halt. Her welfare benefits went way down at the same time, so she married a guy who actually makes decent money, so that made the welfare and food stamps go away. That was when she had to get a real job, so she became an elementary school teacher (third grade).
Earlier this year, she told me that she didn’t like Ron DeSantis because he was against teachers, pushed through the “don’t say gay” law, and wanted to outlaw women having abortions.
I pointed out to her that DeSantis pushed through large raises for teachers in 2019, again in 2020, again in 2021, and yet again in 2022. The so-called “don’t say gay law” says nothing of the sort and merely prevents teachers from discussing sex with 8 year old children, and asked her why abortions are so important to her, seeing as how she is in her 40s and isn’t likely to get pregnant anyhow.
Her reply was that her pay hadn’t gone up. I said well, isn’t that your school board and union’s fault? She said “Well, that isn’t what the union tells me.”
This is the voting base for the Democrats. Uninformed morons.
