Episode IV, A NEW HOPE

It is a period of civil war. Rebels, striking from a Trump rally, have won their first victory against the evil Progressive Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to Emperor Pelositine’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, a fortified Capitol building with enough F15s and nukes to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by Pelositine’s sinister agents who will stop at nothing to recover her stolen laptop, the rebels race home aboard their Harleys, custodians of the stolen plans that can save the people and restore freedom to the nation….

Never mind. It turns out that it was an unassembled LEGO set.

Nope. Let’s go to court

No matter how much the Waitress (ABN) wants to believe that her orders must be obeyed, I am not sitting with my hands on my head for an hour.

I know that the law says it’s a crime to interfere with a flight crew in the performance of their duties. I just don’t see where forcing all passengers to sit with their hands on their head is a part of their duties. If there is a security problem that is that serious, explain why they didn’t just land the plane.

Go fuck yourself. See ya in court.

Hoard and cache

The ATF is going to ban 80 percent firearms and the entire hobby of Personally Made Firearms. There is also likely going to be a new assault weapons ban. I would also say that the likelihood of a civil war is higher now than it has been in over a century.

The only thing that makes sense as a response to all of the above is to buy as many 80 percent receivers as you can, make as many of them into firearms as you can before a ban goes into effect, and then make yourself caches of weapons that are hidden in your AO in areas where you can reach them.

An ideal cache would be a homemade AR, 5 magazines, 150 rounds of ammo, and five one ounce silver coins, all wiped free of prints, all sealed in PVC pipe with desiccant and buried in a location that is in your AO where it likely won’t be accidentally found, but not on your property. I remember when such a setup cost less than $500 total per copy. Hopefully, you took advantage of that. Three or four of those in the area will ensure that you can always access one if needed.

You never know…

Hosting

Time to remind people about censorship and the ability to blog. If you have seen this offer before, or if you aren’t interested in blogging, don’t bother reading this.

The left not just going after blogs and social media- they are going after podcasts as well. The powers that be intend to shut down all media that is not state approved. See this report here.

I was trying to listen to conservative talk radio on Sirius and on Blaze TV, but the hosts are refusing to admit that the election was bogus, but saying “we will get them next time.” Conservative talk has been brought to heel and has been told what they can and cannot say. Alternative media like bloggers are all that is left of the free press.

There is still room to share this server. The cost to host a blog on this server is $25 $15 per month, billed quarterly. My IT support team charges a small fee to import the contents of your blog to this server. I will import blogger or WordPress to this site for the cost of the software license. (it isn’t much) I have domains that are included in the price, or we can get you a custom domain. The only rule that I have is: no porn sites. I am not interested in having porn on my site for two reasons: they are resource hogs (both storage space and bandwidth) and I don’t feel like having to expend my own time and energy defending porn distributors.

Even if you don’t contact me, find an alternative server now, or your blogs and podcasts may be gone forever. An XML backup is no longer sufficient, as Blogger and WordPress no longer support migration by XML. If your blog is cancelled, there may be no way to recover it.

If interested in having your blog hosted here, the email is Divemedic@sectorocho.com

Corruption

Developers run the state of Florida. There is a massive influx of people from the north who are coming to Florida, and the current residents are the ones paying the bill. A case in point:

Sumter County Florida contains a large community called “The Villages.” The entire community is being built by a family owned company. They are planning to build 60,000 homes in the next 20 years. The cost for the infrastructure needed for this community is being left to the taxpayers of the county.

To cover these expenses, Sumter county passed a 25% increase in property taxes in 2019. The Villages managed this by getting several of their employees elected to the county commission. The developer claims that they are paying their share by building parks and golf courses- “amenities.” What they fail to say is that the amenities are only permitted to the people who live in the Villages and pay amenities fees. The fire stations, deputies, road maintenance, and other required public infrastructure is left to the tax payer.

If a developer builds a house in The Villages, or any other retirement community in Sumter County, the impact fee to help pay for roads is $972. If a developer builds the exact same house outside The Villages, the impact fee nearly triples to $2,666. That deal is thanks to the three commissioners that were on the board until the last election.

Voters were incensed, and replaced three of them in the 2020 election. The new commissioners passed a bill to roll back the tax, and make impact fees the same throughout the county.

That was defeated when the state of Florida passed a law limiting impact fees. The Representative who sponsored the impact fee limit? He is an employee of The Villages with a $350K a year salary. The number one contributor to his election campaign? His employer, the Holding Company of the Villages, Inc.

Hage’s employment with The Villages was revealed on a Form 6 Full and Public Disclosure of Financial Interests filed by him last year. The form shows that during 2019, he was paid $141,003 from the Holding Company of The Villages. He also was paid $113,554 from T&D Distribution Inc., $14,410 from T&D Concrete Inc., and $11,000 from T&D Supplies Inc. T&D is the construction company that does all of the construction work in the Villages. Hage’s state representative salary – one he clearly isn’t earning – was $29,697.

When what is bought and sold is decided by the legislator, the first thing that is bought and sold are the legislators.

Badasses

More thoughts on the President’s false bravado about citizens and their AR15’s being useless in the face of fighter jets and nukes.

Remember how brave they were 5 months ago?

Members of the Flintstones Order of the Water Buffalo captured the Capitol while unarmed.

This was just before they summoned 30,000 fat assed National guard clerks and office personnel from MEAL Team 6 to guard DC.
