It’s just that simple. I don’t care if a man wants to have sex with other men. I don’t care if a man wants to dress as a woman. I don’t care if a man thinks that he is a woman. Whatever. You do you. What I care about is that you don’t force me to play along, and I especially want you to stay away from kids.

So when I see a man who thinks that he is a woman and dresses like a cat in order to give shows to children, especially when he openly states that he is “delivering children-focused programming with the goal of helping children develop positive relationships with themselves and others,” I have a problem with it. This mother should be investigated:

South Philly resident Mishana Klein has been taking her 7-year-old daughter to the story time since it first started five years ago. When her daughter first attended she “used to be really self-conscious … and now she’s so confident when she struts along with Maria Topcatt,”

Meanwhile, they are using public schools to indoctrinate children in the first grade. At least here in Florida, it’s illegal for them to use your tax dollars to groom first grade children for being molested by men who think that they are women and are dressed like cats in order to lure children.

Meanwhile, the Columbus, Ohio police department hears about a drag queen story hour for kids, and VOLUNTEERS to provide security, even though they were expressly told by the groomer freaks that they weren’t needed or wanted.

I don’t understand why the cops want to support the very people who want to defund them. Seeing that there have been violent political protests and that police are actively providing support and security for the leftists, I am forced to move Columbus from Zone 1 to Zone 3.

Don’t forget that Zone 3 is a zone where violence has has taken place with little to no attempt at mitigating response from local authorities. Additionally, police and/or prosecutors are likely to bring the full weight of the law down upon those who attempt to defend themselves from these actors, or those who speak out against them.

If you own a rental property in Florida, today is the day that a new law goes into effect. Owners of rental property consisting of 5 or more units (including hotels) will have to conduct background checks of all employees, and will have to keep a log of everyone who is given a key to rental units and requires that the key be returned once the work in that unit is complete.

This law is a response to a 19 year old woman that was murdered by the maintenance man of her apartment complex. Even if this law had been in place then, it would have prevented nothing. The maintenance man had no criminal history.

Also, nothing in the law prevents a person with murderous intent from making a copy of the key and then using that copy six months later.

Stupid, useless law that accomplishes nothing.

Like firearms, cars are tools that can be deadly if misused. A father found that out after standing in front of a pickup truck as his daughter learned to park. She mistakenly hit the gas and ran over him, killing him. A tragedy that could have been prevented, had he not been standing in a location where he could have avoided being struck.

These two morons tried to sail from New Jersey to Florida in a 30 foot sailboat that had no radio, no GPS, no EPRB, and without checking the marine weather forecasts. The sea can be unforgiving. These morons got lucky.

That’s right up there with the family that tried navigating from Florida to the Bahamas using a placemat from a seafood restaurant as a navigational chart.

Since everyone on the Internet has been talking about the cop who claims to have been exposed to Fentanyl, I think it’s appropriate to talk about it. I think it’s a bullshit story. We give Fentanyl in the ED all of the time. We have patients who use it all of the time. I had one patient who was chewing on her Fentanyl patches. She didn’t overdose. Let’s talk about this story:

1. Fentanyl isn’t readily absorbed through intact skin. Yes, there are Fentanyl patches, but they are specially formulated and take a long time to absorb. Think about it: if it were that easy to overdose on it, the drug dealers would be dropping from it before they could sell it.
2. From the American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT) and American Academy of Clinical Toxicology(AACT): “the risk of clinically significant exposure to emergency responders is extremely low. To date, we have not seen reports of emergency responders developing signs or symptoms consistent with opioid toxicity from incidental contact with opioids...Industrial producers of fentanyl use time-weighted average occupational exposure limits (OEL-TWA) for alfentanil (1mcg/m3), fentanyl (0.1 mcg/m3), and sufentanil (0.032 mcg/m3) to limit exposure. At the highest airborne concentration encountered by workers, an unprotected individual would require nearly 200 minutes of exposure to reach a dose of 100 mcg of Fentanyl. The vapor pressure of fentanyl is very low (4.6 x 10-6Pa) suggesting that evaporation of standing product into a gaseous phase is not a practical concern“
3. In fact, there has never been a case of LEO opioid overdose that has been confirmed by toxicology.
4. I watched the video. The symptoms that she is exhibiting are not consistent with opioid overdose. Her respirations are rapid and shallow, and her pupils are far too large for opioids. Nearly every viral story that I have seen is the same. Looks more like anxiety than it does opioids: Dizziness, feels like dying, racing heart, nausea. Look at the pupils.

In opioid overdoses, the pupils look more like this:

Look, I am not hating on the cops here. It’s just that they aren’t trained very well in this. Ever since they began giving Narcan to the cops to carry around, they give it all the time to almost everyone, even people who don’t need it. The cops got a short lecture on naloxone, less than 2 hours of training in some cases, then were turned loose. Now there are tons of companies making money selling “Fentanyl proof” gloves, and the legend grows with every viral, unsupported video.

The odd part is that multiple doctors have stopped in to the local news channel to report that this video looks nothing like an opiate overdose, but the news channel keeps deleting their comments. I wonder why.

Flying Waitress Claims that she can have a passenger put on “no fly list” for wearing FJB hoodie. I don’t think so.

What airline is this? pic.twitter.com/ErJZWfrxjL

To the people claiming that its a private airline and can do as it pleases: the no fly list is a government list. She is threatening him with arrest for wearing the wrong shirt. That is deprivation of rights under color of authority. I have a real problem with this

Now the feminists are on the warpath and using the Griner case as proof that there is a pay disparity between men and women: the claim is that the WNBA makes less money than the NBA because they are women. You see, Griner wouldn’t have to play in Russia if the WNBA weren’t discriminating against women.

Bullshit.

The two leagues aren’t even close to the same level of talent and revenue. It’s like claiming that the NY Yankees should pay the same to its players as the Hudson Valley Renegades because both are playing baseball.

Buying a ticket to see a WNBA game will cost you an average of $47. On average, attendance at a WNBA game is around 5,600. With a 40 game season, the result is about $63 million in ticket sales, league wide. Contrast that with the $6.4 billion in league revenue for the NBA.

The players in these two leagues aren’t being paid to play basketball. They are being paid to sell tickets to people who want to watch them play basketball. In the only metric that matters, sales, the NBA outpaces the WNBA 100 to 1. They aren’t paid less because they are women. They are paid less because people aren’t as willing to pay to watch them play. It’s simple economics. Most sports fans think that women’s sports are not worth paying to see.

One thing I hate is people who are late for appointments. I just think it’s disrespectful of the other person’s time to be late, it’s like saying that their time isn’t important to you.

That is why I get annoyed when people wait to the last minute to leave for a destination. They look at Google maps, and if the map says 48 minute travel time, they will leave the house at 9:12 for a 10 o’clock meeting. If they are late, they blame traffic and not their own lack of planning for their tardiness.

I was always taught that if you are 5 minutes early, you are already 10 minutes late.

Smith and Wesson reported that its sales returned to the prepandemic normal for the quarter ending in October, which is still profitable for the company. The drop in sales echoed ones reported by Sturm, Ruger, and other manufacturers and is the second consecutive quarter of slumping sales. This caused the company’s stock price to plunge to a 52 week low- from $14.39 a share in August down to $9.49 this morning.

I pulled out of the stock market last October, when it became obvious that things were going south. I resumed buying stock in July, and am picking up anything that looks like a healthy company but whose stock is selling at fire sale prices. Royal Caribbean Cruise lines is one, and now Smith and Wesson is added to that list. The company is still sound and is still turning a profit. When there is blood in the streets, buy oil. So that’s what I did- I picked up 100 shares. Maybe I will get some more before the stock recovers. I am betting that it will bounce back as inflation cools. If inflation DOESN’T cool, then money will be worthless anyhow.

I did the same thing in 2020 and made a shitload of money on Royal Caribbean and on Darden Restaurants. I bought RCL at $21 a share, then sold it 8 months later for $80 a share. I bought DRI at $50 a share then sold at $115. I made almost $50,000 in 8 months on those two deals when I turned $30K into over $75k.

My recommendation? If you have some spare investing money, find a deal on a stock. They are going to bounce back in a year or so, and you will make some decent returns. There are plenty of reputable stock purchasing companies that will let you buy stock direct with no commissions. I use ETrade.

Here is a prime example as to why you can’t rely on a TASER in a situation where you are in danger of death or serious bodily injury. The cops hit this guy twice with a TASER, and he still fought with them and with hospital staff, to the point where they had to use restraints.

Now instead of fighting with cops, imagine that you are shooting him with a TASER while he is stabbing your wife.
