It seems that every time I decide to stop posting about the things that cops do because I don’t want to be a blog that does nothing but bitch about cops, they go and screw up again. This time, a cop in his police cruiser was caught on camera blowing a red light, then swerved across two lanes of traffic before plowing into a bar. The cop claims that he swerved to avoid a dog, then changed the story to a parked car, then changed the story again to say he was changing the channel on his police radio.

The cops then arrested one of the owners of the bar, claiming that he committed Felony Battery on a LEO before reducing the charges to misdemeanor battery. What did he do? Well, it turns out that there is video of the bar owner arriving on the scene and an officer approaching the bar owner and asking him if he’s the owner, to which the man responds affirmatively.

The officer asked to see the bar owner’s ID, prompting the owner to say, “Why should I show my ID? I didn’t do anything wrong.”

He said it loudly, because he’s not happy, so an officer responds with, “You don’t get to yell at me. You’re under arrest for disturbing the peace,” and then, when bystanders repeatedly asked the officer why the man was he arrested, he said, ‘Nobody gets to yell at me.'”

So let’s see how the police protect one of their bad apples.

Here is a precinct level map of the 2020 election. This is where the battle lines will be.

New York is proposing a law that would require fast food establishments located in state highway rest stops be open seven days a week, a move that they admit is aimed at the Christian restaurant chain.

This was taken in the neighborhood where my new house is located just yesterday. In case you’ve never tried it, fried gator tail is delicious.

It was 250 years ago tonight that colonists had the Boston Tea Party. It took another ten years for the war that followed to reach its conclusion.

Eighty percent of all grades at Yale are an A. Yale isn’t alone. Seventy-nine percent of grades handed out at Harvard are As. It wasn’t always like that. Ten years ago, 60 percent of students had an A.

The proportion of A-range grades given in the 2020-21 academic year varied significantly by division: 73 percent in the Arts and Humanities, 65 percent in both the Sciences and Social Sciences, and 60 percent in courses at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

The percentage was higher in the African American Studies department at 82.21 percent. However, it was the Gender Students department that showed that 92.6 percent of grades were in the A range. So only 7 % of students did not receive an A in gender studies.

So the colleges are teaching woke garbage. My advice to you is this: If your doctor or lawyer graduated from Yale or Harvard in the past decade, I would ask some hard questions about their qualifications. It seems that both colleges, perhaps all of the big colleges, are padding their grades.

When I was a teacher, my feeling on the subject of grades was this:

There are standards and objectives that a teacher has to meet for the class. That is, every student has to demonstrate that they have met those objectives. If they have, they get a passing grade. However, if all of your students are getting an A, you as a teacher are not challenging them enough. In other words, you are a pushover and your class is too easy.

It seems that the problem is that the students’ reviews of teachers are what is being used to judge raises and promotions.

as one faculty member put it, external “market forces” are influencing grading, particularly as faculty rely on positive course evaluations from students for professional advancement, she said in the interview.

I will tell you that my nursing school didn’t do that. Of the students who began the cohort, 31 percent of them failed out of the program. Of the ones who completed the program, there was a 100 percent rate of passing the licensure exam. So maybe it’s just the Ivy league, or perhaps just the big schools that are padding their grades.

Still, the real value in attending Ivy League schools has never been a superior education. Those schools have always been about bragging rights and networking. That’s why Presidents Obama, Clinton, both Bush presidents, Ford, and JFK all attended an Ivy League college.

Even more telling: Barack Obama, Harry Truman, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush are all related. Barak Obama’s grandfather, Stanley Dunham, is a cousin of George W Bush.

There is even more in a future post.

The one thing that sucks about working for a hospital is scheduling. Every hospital that I have ever worked at sucks at writing work schedules. The schedule that comes out is either every 4 or every 6 weeks. The schedule begins on a Sunday. What would make the most sense is for the new schedule to come out a week or two before it begins.

That isn’t how it happens, though. The new schedule sometimes doesn’t come out until the day before it takes effect. You find out on Saturday what your work schedule is going to be on Sunday. That makes it difficult to plan vacations, trips, or even doctor’s appointments, when you don’t even know more than 3 or 4 weeks what days you are available

After this, I am probably going to need a new Twitter account…

Don't want trouble, don't start trouble. Most of the world's people understand that you are a bunch of goat fucking, woman hating terrorists who are still living in the 12th century.

People from liberal shitholes like New York are moving to other states and then voting for the same liberal policies that made them want to move- creating higher taxes, more restrictive controls, and other issues that turn their new homes into the same liberal shitholes that they came from.

For example, 1 in 12 people who live in Florida are originally from New York, 1 in 15 are from Puerto Rico.

Likewise, another 1 in 12 are illegal immigrants from South and Central America. I’m good with people moving here if they truly want to become part of our culture, but if they just want to come here from there to make here to be exactly like there, they why are they here in the first place?

I have had this conversation at least a dozen times, just in the comments of this blog. For example, I recently made the statement: “People are illogical beings motivated by selfish, basic emotion and will kill you if they believe it will give them whatever it is that they want.”

and there were those who took exception to that. Even though, deep down, nearly every person interested in preparedness knows it to be true. If we didn’t, there would be no need to make firearms and the principle of “we don’t talk about prep club” as a part of our mantra.

A person can be kind. A person can be a moral, intelligent person. People, however, are not. We can see examples of it everywhere.

I work with some pretty smart medical people who happen to be black. However, we know that blacks, on average, tend to me a full standard deviation below whites in intelligence, with Hispanics falling in between. Whites themselves tend to be half of a standard deviation below Asians in intelligence. That’s just how it is.

There are some who can’t believe this because they know a dumb Asian, or they have a Black doctor, but remember that we are talking about a statistical comparison of populations, not an analysis of any particular person.

People who can’t understand this simply can’t be engaged in an intelligent discussion, because they are just not capable of the level of abstract thought needed to understand it.
