Go to this story and look closely at the picture of the AR pattern rifles found at the DC shooter’s apartment.
Now zoom in and see if you can see what I do.
Look just above the selector of those two rifles, and it sure looks to me like there are holes in them for an autosear pin.
Joe Biden was seen shaking hands with Gaige Grosskreutz at a recent Democrat fundraiser.
Of course we remember him. He was was illegally carrying a handgun, had been convicted of “intoxicated use of a firearm” in 2015, domestic abuse, burglary, and his paramedic license had been revoked when he decided to fake his surrender to Kyle Rittenhouse before trying to use his firearm to murder Rittenhouse. He caught a bullet in the arm for his crime. I wonder which hand he used to shake with Joe.
On the stand in open court, Grosskreutz admitted that he committed a felony.
So Biden supports wife beaters, felons, and child molesters. No surprise there.
Obama made a speech this week, where he called for media companies to censor even more people in order to combat “disinformation.” He claims that disinformation is a “threat to our Democracy” and wants tech giants to have even more power to combat it.
The First Amendment is a check on the power of the state. It doesn’t apply to private companies like Facebook or Twitter, any more than it applies to editorial decisions made by the New York Times or Fox News. Never has. Social media companies already make choices about what is or is not allowed on their platforms and how that content appears. Both explicitly through content moderation and implicitly through algorithms. The problem is we often don’t know what principles govern those decisions.

Pretty ironic coming from the guy who told us “if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan.“
A school district in Maryland has been forcing teachers to display progress pride flags in their classrooms. Lets be clear on what these flags symbolize.
Sounds like the flag is based in spiritualism and race. So if this flag is to be allowed, why can’t the KKK flag be displayed? Or perhaps the Christian Flag?
Stetson University is raising $250,000 so they can hire a Ukrainian faculty member and offer four scholarships to Ukrainian refugees. There are a few things wrong with this plan, starting with the fact that it is illegal.
First, stating that you are going to hire a new faculty member, and that the faculty member must be from a particular country violates the law. The Civil Rights Act states that it is illegal to discriminate against someone because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age. That means telling someone that a position is open only to those from the Ukraine is against the law.
The next problem with this is more obvious. The claim from Stetson is that the $250K is to fund a one year scholarship for four Ukrainian students. Doing the math, it costs $62,500 a year to attend Stetson University?!?!
According to this website, ten years after their initial enrollment, the average graduate of Stetson University earns $45,400 a year. According to this website, the average high school graduate with no college earns $38,792. That means a 4 year degree from Stetson University will cause a person to earn $6,608 more per year, on average.
It will take 38 years of working to break even from what it cost to earn that degree. You will be 60 years old before you begin to see any real benefit from attending Stetson.
To help in understanding the Disney rules, I want to take a minute to explain how Florida works when it comes to EMS and dead people. Florida’s EMS system requires that all prehospital services (like EMS) have to be supervised by a doctor. That doctor is called a medical director, and that medical director sets the rules under which all of the EMT’s and Paramedics that he supervises must operate. The rules are referred to as protocols.
Some medical directors don’t trust their underlings very much, and keep them on a very short leash by making protocols restrictive. Other medical directors allow their medics latitude to make more clinical decisions than others. There are all kinds of protocols.
My first medical director here in Florida was one of the strict kinds. We were not allowed to declare someone dead. Ever. Every single person got transported, and the doctor in the ED had to make the call. We once transported a person whose head was severed from his body. The ED doctors were pissed.
If you decide that the patient is dead on scene, the radio call used to be “Signal 7.” Then the 911 commission came along, and we were no longer allowed to use codes. From that point on, the radio call became: “No code, no vitals.”
Reedy Creek is, for all practical purposes, a government that is owned by a private company. Their medical director is VERY strict, and the protocols that they operate under are anachronistic. They wrote their protocols IMO with a lawyer and PR department in mind, but not a doctor, and certainly not the patient, in mind. One of the rules that Disney operates under is that all medical patients need to be transported to the hospital, even if they are dead. The majority of them go to Advent Hospital in Celebration, where the doctor then declares them dead. Since Celebration Hospital is not on Disney property, the person didn’t die at Disney. They died in the Hospital.
A few days ago, I posted about Florida refusing to buy certain math textbooks because they contained CRT and SEL propaganda, and the state is trying to keep political topics out of elementary school. No groomers allowed, to put it bluntly.
Now the state has finally given some examples and reasons for why they rejected some textbooks. Take a look:
It’s subtle, but they are grooming the kids in their care, so that they grow up to be good little communists.
Grooming kids to become little communists. That is why these books were rejected. I took the Implicit Association Test, and it is garbage. It asks questions like “Are those that you are sexually attracted to mostly of a similar skin tone?” and “Do you think that certain skin tones have an advantage over others in making money?”
Garbage. This isn’t math, and it isn’t science. It’s propaganda.
On this day in 2008, two marines gave their lives defending 150 other marines from a suicide bomber when they stood their ground, opening fore on the bomber who tried driving through their post. They successfully stopped him before his bomb detonated, killing both of them.
For their bravery and unwavering selflessness, they were both posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.
Your car is being burglarized right there in front of your house. You can see them on camera. Your impulse is to run out there and protect your property. I don’t recommend that, and would tell you not to. If you decide to any way, there is a right way and a wrong way. That is the subject of this post.
In the eight years that I have lived in this neighborhood, we have had two attempted burglaries of my pickup truck parked in my driveway. Since my truck is too big to fit in the garage, I have to leave it outside. Both attempts to break into it occurred in the summer, and I wasn’t home for either one. The first time was in June of 2017 while we were in Alaska. Several cars were broken into, and they stole the Jeep across the street. The idiot left the keys to the Jeep in the glove box of the unlocked car that was parked next to it.
The second attempt was a year later and was caught on my security cameras. The cops used my footage to catch the burglar, but he reached a plea deal that included expunging his record. All he got was probation, even though he broke into four vehicles, stealing one of them. One of the cars was a police cruiser that he stole a fingerprint reader from, another was a truck where he stole a handgun, and some items from a few other vehicles. In both break-ins sprees, my truck was spared simply because I lock the doors. The thief tried to blind my cameras with a flashlight, but was unsuccessful. At the time he was trying to break into my truck, he was already armed with a stolen handgun.
The point here is that thieves are frequently armed. That is why I don’t think it is a good idea to leave the house in order to confront burglars. My truck is both empty and insured. The only thing I keep in it are my work IDs and the HAM/CB radio equipment that is mounted in it. Not worth my life. Even if I *do* confront him, my truck will likely be the backstop to my gunfire, so either way I am filing an insurance claim, and the best way to survive a gunfight is not to get in a gunfight in the first place.
If you MUST confront car burglars, there are a few things that are important:
Or you can just call the cops, stay inside, then call your insurance company.
Oh- don’t forget your gun in the car and lock the doors.
