Biden is now going to send ground troops to the Ukraine in an effort to bolster his sagging poll numbers. If all of our troops are off guarding the Ukraine, how in the world will Congress be safe from the Royal order of Buffalo?
Police State
Third World Policing
Wirecutter over at Knukledraggin my Life Away points out a story of a tiny Alabama town that has discovered that it can use cops as a money making machine and has become the worst speed trap in the entire nation. The town has less than 1300 residents, but has at least sixteen full time cops and a number of part time cops. (The police chief, claiming “security” won’t tell how many cops he has) Those cops make over 1,000 arrests, write over 3,000 traffic citations, and have their own SWAT team, complete with an armored vehicle that they call a “riot control vehicle.” (How big of a riot can that small of a town have?)
Read the article that the post is based on, and think about this quote:
Chief Jones testified under oath that just one of the 10 Brookside vehicles is painted with police striping, but nine others bear no emblems, and seven are tinted all the way around, making it impossible to see inside. Jones testified his officers wear gray uniforms with no Brookside insignias.
These dumbasses think that they are badasses because they carry the authority of a badge that they don’t even wear. Thinking that they are some kid of secret agents, they act more like a street gang that is shaking down the citizens for protection money. They refer to themselves as “agents” and do not provide their identification, even on arrest affidavits:
The names of the officers were not listed on the tickets in secretive Brookside. Instead, the arresting officer was listed as “Agent JS,” while the assisting officer was “Agent AR.”
Arrests in Alabama come from all sorts of things that you wouldn’t think are a crime. For example: It is considered road rage in Alabama to drive in the left lane for more than a mile and a half. One of my favorite legal Youtube channels is Lehto’s Law. Take a look:
The entire thing is a scam. The traffic court judge is a local lawyer who was hired as the municipal traffic court judge to hold court one day a month. When audited, the town had no written budget. Wanna take odds on some skimming off the top by the police chief, Mayor, and judge?
These idiots are so predictable, it begs for an ambush. The kinder version would have a person with hidden cameras break a traffic law in full view of Roscoe Coaltrain, and when he pulls you over it seems like it would be easy to get some civil rights violations on film. Then they can be taken down by some good attorneys.
The more aggressive ambush would be to goad them into a traffic stop, coming to a halt in a kill zone, then having an ambush team light up one of these would be secret agents. Since they are in unmarked vehicles and wearing clothes with no insignia, one could argue that they look more like a criminal gang conducting an ambush than they do a legitimate police force.
Tranny Insanity
Don’t Train Kids Act
A committee of the Florida house just passed a bill that would prohibit educators from talking about LGBTQ+ topics that are not “age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students.”
To anyone that opposes this: What reason can you possibly have for discussing sexually explicit topics with children?
As a person who spend eight years as an educator, I will tell you that there are some school districts that are literally and actively trying to groom kids into a sexually aberrant lifestyle. Here is an actual document that I was given while I was a teacher:
I don’t care if a person wants to be gay, bisexual, whatever. You wanna put a guy’s penis in your mouth or rectum, I don’t care. I don’t care if one woman wants to marry another. None of that is my business.
However, it is every adult’s business to make sure that you aren’t getting children involved in your sexual fantasies.

Liberals on Rittenhouse
A liberal who admits that he didn’t watch a single moment of the trial, and who admits that he knows nothing about criminal law, is full of opinions on the Rittenhouse case, and claims that it sets a bad precedent: That anyone can pick up a gun and declare that they can go a “police a protest.”
He goes on to claim that this is an assault on free speech, because people will be intimidated because people can “show up with a gun” to stifle protests.
He claims that a person shows up to a protest with a gun is guilty of manslaughter, because a reasonable person should know that “something bad can happen” as a result.

Freezing
As I sit and type this on Monday morning, my thermometer says that it is 28 degrees outside, making this our first freeze of the year. To tell the truth, I was beginning to think that Florida had decided not to participate in winter this year. In a typical year, we have usually had our first freeze some time in December.
A Central Florida winter isn’t like winters anywhere else. In winter here, we will get a frost or a freeze, but the temperature usually only stays below freezing until the sun comes up. The temperatures during the day will get to the 50’s or so, then will drop back down as soon as the sun sets. This will last for two or three days, then we are right back to daytime highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s. This cycle will repeat three or four times from mid December to about mid February, then the spring thunderstorm season begins.
Not this year. We have been in the 80s during the day, and the mid sixties at night. No frost, no cold. No cold weather until last week, when it dropped to 34 degrees on Monday morning, and our first below freezing this morning.
I remember when I was a kid, we once had a solid three days that temperatures stayed below freezing. My brother and I were amazed that a bucket of water left outside froze. We had never seen ice that wasn’t in the freezer before. I only saw snow twice before I joined the Navy: once in New Orleans when I was three, and once when we went to visit our cousins in Tennessee.
It isn’t climate change. It’s just weather. Four years ago, we had a snow storm around lunchtime, and even though the snow didn’t accumulate, the kids loved it. Next winter won’t be as warm.

Washington residents sue the Navy to stop SEALs from training in state parks, because the thought of men armed with guns watching them from behind trees is too scary to think about.
It isn’t like Washington is part of the US anymore, so perhaps soon those will be actual combat missions.

Rumors and Hearsay
I will admit that these are anecdotes, but it’s important to listen to the odd facts that we hear. I have heard some really odd stuff over the past month or so, and I figured that I would let you hear a bit of it. The following stories are all from people that I have known for awhile, and are telling me these things on the condition that I make it generic enough that no one can tell who they are. Believe these stories or not, but I can’t give any links or evidence to support them.
I was speaking with a woman from the Dominican Republic recently. She was explaining to me that dozens of her friends were making money in the USA without ever setting foot in the country. They are going online and setting up internet based bank accounts and then filing for COVID related benefits. She says that some of them have made as much as $20K by filing for benefits without ever having been here in the USA. Think of how much money is going out to these kinds of fraudsters.
Another conversation that I recently had was with a business owner who got a PPP loan of over $300K. He played some paperwork games to make it all look legit, and used the money to buy himself a really nice boat. More like a small yacht. No one has asked a question.
A third recent conversation was when I went to a party recently that was filled with cops. Some FBI, some local cops, really a bit of everything. Most were from families that have been cops for generations. I’ve known several of them for 30 years or so. They are ashamed by the political games being played in Washington. One of the agents I met was a 25 year old female agent who was incredibly intoxicated. I knew her dad back in the day. She was recruited because she looks young. Really young, like maybe 13 or 14 years old kind of young. It was odd tossing back shots with a person that looked like a child. Her job is catching pedos by posing as a young teen. Her story was that too many of her arrests were of people who have enough pull to get out of any charges. She told me that she wants out, because the entire thing creeps her out. Not only the whole dealing with predators, but the fact that so many of them have enough pull to get out of it. We are talking political figures, judges, celebrities, prominent businessmen with important connections, that kind of thing.

Disturbing news from the Navy. The Russian navy is conducting exercises involving 140 ships. Nearly all of its Navy is at sea, including an amphibious task force comprised of 7 landing ships left the Baltic a week ago. This task force is capable of putting an entire brigade on the beach. It’s important to note that they are sailing without their AIS transponders active.
The current occupant of the Oval Office is going to blunder us into a national disaster in order to improve his poll numbers.
