As usual from Mr. Rowe, read it all

"... And today, in my opinion, few things are less persuasive than PSA’s with earnest celebrities, impassioned speeches from elected officials, righteous lectures from partisan journalists, and heartfelt pleas from public health officials who literally beg us to “follow the science.” (Is it just me, Paul, or does “science” become something else when we put a “the” in front of it, and beg people to follow it?”)
...
Last week, as I’m sure you’re aware, moments after assuring the country that the vaccines he and millions of others have taken are “incredibly effective,” President Biden said, “We must now protect the vaccinated workers from the unvaccinated workers.”

Wait…What?

You don’t have to be a scientist to hear a message like that and pose a couple of very reasonable queries. 1) If the vaccines are effective, why do the vaccinated need to be protected from the unvaccinated? And 2) If the vaccines are not effective, then why should the unvaccinated get one?

Obviously, no one wants to see our hospitals overwhelmed with unvaccinated COVID patients, including the President. I think we all agree on that. But the issue you have raised is one of trust, and if President Biden wants to be trusted, it seems to me that he should first trust the vaccines he’s demanding we all take. Alas, he doesn’t. Instead, our fully vaccinated President still supports a travel ban that keeps my vaccinated friends overseas from reentering the country. Why? He still wears a mask in public – even when he’s outdoors. Why? Last week, President Biden could have congratulated all vaccinated Americans for getting back to living their lives without fear. Instead, he got angry. He literally accused the unvaccinated of “standing in the way of protecting the large majority of Americans who have done their part and want to get back to life as normal.” In short, Joe Biden doesn’t appear to be living his life any differently than he did before getting vaccinated. Again, you don’t need to be a scientist see how fundamentally unpersuasive this is to 80 million people who are already skeptical."

Awww, the poor celebrity doesn't like being told what an idiot he is

Here's the thing, James:  
You heard something, and without taking any time to find out facts, you put out a twat threatening a cop who had just prevented a stabbing.  Nothing mattered to you except Evil White Cop and Black Victim.

When you were called on your idiocy you took it down and are now whining 
Hours later, James reckoned that he was a victim of people misinterpreting his message.

“I took the tweet down because its [sic] being used to create more hate,” he tweeted.

“This isn’t about one officer. it’s about the entire system and they always use our words to create more racism,” he said, saying he was “so damn tired of seeing Black people killed by police.”
You sorry little bitch.  You don't have the balls to say "I screwed up", so you try to claim victimhood.

Howzabout next time something happens you have an irresistible urge to comment on, you take a minute to find out some facts instead of playing "I am Celebrity, listen to Me!" and making things worse? 

Also, you chickenshit, you're awfully selective in what you get outraged about.

Well, no crap, guy

The American political left and mainstream media pundits at large do not understand guns. They are not educated about them and they refuse to learn about them. They could not tell you the difference between an automatic or semi-automatic firearm. They don’t understand what a suppressor does or does not do. It’s safe to say most of them have not heard the term “bump stock” until this week.

They're also ignorant of what laws are already on the books, and how stupid many of them are.  And they don't want to learn; those that might mostly still lie.  Because they're spreading the Preferred Narrative© so they know that most media won't call them on any of it, even if they know it's bullshit; because so much of the media is in the Preferred Narrative© camp as well.

And they wonder why so many people consider them inept and/or ignorant at best, and the enemy at worst...

In todays edition of Celebrity Asshat, we have Tom Arnold

In light of his nephew’s suicide, actor and Iowa native Tom Arnold penned a column to The Hollywood Reporter expressing the need for more gun control.  His nephew was a 24-year-old National Guard veteran who Arnold wrote was “kicked out” of the Army after he attempted suicide.
There is, however, a slight problem:
Wendy Burkle of Ottumwa was previously married to Arnold’s brother, Mark Arnold. They are parents of the man Arnold wrote about. She said that the piece was full of false information — including the claim that her son was kicked out of the Army after a suicide attempt.“His dad and I would like to let everyone know that we believe that (Arnold) has embellished the story to make it Hollywood worthy,” Burkle said.  She said  she has asked Arnold to stop using her son’s name in his writing.
You're a real piece of work, Arnold.  Did you just get carried away, or do you not give a crap about lying if it'll push the message you want?

"Nobody wants to take your guns" my ass, Part 872

Hollywood actor Matt Damon used a press conference in Australia over the Fourth of July weekend to discuss his desire for a massive confiscation of U.S. guns.

“You guys did it here in one fell swoop [in 1996] and I wish that could happen in my country, but it’s such a personal issue for people that we cannot talk about it sensibly,” Mr. Damon said during a promotional engagement in Sydney for the movie “Jason Bourne.”
One more asshat actor who's gotten rich from movies in which he blows up, shoots, and otherwise kills people all over the place tells us that we peasants shouldn't be allowed arms.  Because he doesn't like it.

Two things, Damon:
Are you planning on taking part in this confiscation? 

And are you going to stop making movies where you use guns?  Or give up the royalties from all the ones you've already made?

We know the answer to both is 'No', which makes you one more virtue-signaling asshole who really wants power over others.  Screw you.

Montel Williams is a moron

And a bloodthirsty one at that.  At least when he wants someone else to do the killing for him.

As I recall, he also did everything he could to help Obama get elected, and then when The Lightbringer treated the troops exactly like you'd expect, Williams had fits and moaned "How can he do this?  This must be changed!"  Moron.

I think Ariana Grande is supposed to be a singer;

appears her primary talent is being a selfish, filthy, whiny, entitled-feeling skank.
Video obtained by celebrity-gossip website TMZ shows Grande, accompanied by one of her backup dancers, appear to lick donuts on display as the worker is in the back preparing a fresh batch.
...
The worker is then seen in the video placing a fresh batch of donuts on the counter. Grande wasn’t too pleased, however.

“What the f*** is that?” she said. “I hate Americans. I hate America.”
Then can I suggest you get your sorry ass out?

Tab clearing

Yeah, this judge needs his law license and black robe taken away.

Yes, false rape accusations do happen.  And it's amazing the excuses made for them.

I’m not saying that George W Bush was the Platonic Ideal of a good President.  I’m just saying that Obama has to seriously up his game if he wants to rise to Bush’s level, let alone rise far above.

What, you expected better of Holder?

Liam Neeson will kiss my ass long before I pay for one of his movies.

Oh yeah, sending troops to fight ebola will be wonderful.

'Adults wanting to have sex with children is wonderful and normal.'  And my desire to shoot pedophiles and use them for fertilizer is normal and to be encouraged.
Used to work with a gay guy, and we got started on this subject one day; he was bothered-to-horrified(depending on age) at the way a lot of homosexual guys wanted sex with younger guys.  Sometimes seriously younger.  He'd been married and had two kids before coming out of the closet, and his attitude was 'Someone touches one of my kids, I'll kill them.'  Unfortunately a disgusting number of other people don't feel the same way.  At least about other peoples' kids.

I guess outrage depends on which sex is committing the domestic violence.

And a bunch of Aussies are deciding "Maybe all those gun bans and restrictions aren't that great an idea after all."

The kind of wonders to expect from Obamacare:

"Employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) destroyed veterans’ medical files in a systematic attempt to eliminate backlogged veteran medical exam requests, a former VA employee told The Daily Caller.

Audio of an internal VA meeting obtained by TheDC confirms that VA officials in Los Angeles intentionally canceled backlogged patient exam requests."


Selective prosecution.  Because this kind of crap is what passes for 'justice' under AG Irvin Nathan in Sodom on the Potomac.

Remember, this is the asshole who wouldn't prosecute a journalist for openly having a illegal magazine in SotP; who has repeatedly ignored the law so favored politicians could wave around firearms illegal there; but has repeatedly shown no problems with screwing over plain old citizens on bullshit charges.  And note this: the bastard changed the charge against the victim so as to deny him a jury trial.

Miserable, corrupt, vile bastard.


Ah, the tolerance of other views of the 'progressives':
Former "Dirty Jobs" host Mike Rowe says he's become the target of death threats after narrating a Wal-Mart commercial about investing in American manufacturing.


Apparently Mr. Douglas wasn't enlightened enough to go for non-violence when dealing with slave raiders.  Or something.

Why you're not Officer Friendly anymore, Reason #473:
You're a abusive oathbreaking lawbreaker who likes to assault people.  Because you figure you can get away with it.
A couple of super-sized keepers of the peace came over to verbally abuse the videographer for "diverting my attention," to physically abuse the videographer (you can see the camera shake and blur as a police sergeant grabs him), and to threaten arrest if he doesn't leave.

We're not fucking around. Do you understand? Do not, do not disrespect us. And do not not listen to us. Now walk away and shut your fucking mouth or you're going to jail.

Replies the videographer, "I thought I had freedom of speech."
"You don't," says the sergeant. You just lost it."


Ah, Rubio, if only we could trust you on illegal aliens...
The U.S. Senator from Florida had listened patiently to Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa speak favorably about his recent trip to Cuba, all the while omitting any real references to the oppression of the totalitarian government there.

To Rubio, like many Cuban exiles and their descendants, it was too much to bear.

“Let me tell you what the Cubans are really good at,” Rubio said Monday when he took to the Senate floor. “What they are really good at is repression…They have exported repression in real time, in our hemisphere, right now.”


More on that gas-station shooting where the victim turned the tables.
In the last few days video footage has surfaced of violent criminal attacks successfully repelled by armed good guys, and I think there are some important lessons all of us can take away from these bits of footage.


Some of the people to thank for supporting the mess in Venezuela.  Note that most are idiot celebrities.

Katy Perry: one more celebritute

who hires people to carry guns and protect her precious ass, but commoners not able to afford that should be disarmed.  Because she cares. 

Jennifer has a response to that.

"Pay us enough and we don't care if you're a dictator, we'll perform!"

One more celebritute heard from.
When asked if Carey was remorseful for performing for another dictator after she apologized for her 2008 concert for Libyan Dictator Moammar Khadafy and promised “to take more responsibility” for her bookings, he spat back “Why should she be?”

If you believe that this is coincidence,

there's some seafront property in the OK panhandle you might be interested in.
He went on FOX News where his story was picked up by C. Steven Tucker, a health insurance broker who helped him keep his insurance.

Now suddenly Bill Elliot is being audited for 2009 with an interview only scheduled in April 2014. Assuming he lives that long. That might be a coincidence, but Tucker is being audited back to 2003.
Coming out of this IRS, 'coincidence' isn't really an option.


Did the Bureau of Labor Statistics fake the numbers to help Obama?  Yes.


"I am saying that I have been respectful of teabaggers; why don't you peasants believe me?"


So, does that mean this clown thinks some perfidious Jews helped him make it big for some reason?  Or is he just one more bigoted idiot?


"But we NEED a MRAP to serve warrants!  Really!"  See if you can spot the key word in this:
"It's armored. It's heavy. It's intimidating. And it's free," said Apple."


If you could get this to work in a punch bowl...


On the latest hyperventilating about Zimmerman having an 'arsenal' of five guns and a little over a hundred rounds:
"Jesus! That's enough ammunition for the NYPD to shoot two people!"


And to whoever came up with the 'upgrade' that won't let me copy & paste web addresses the way I could before, choke on a turkey bone, you idiot.

There's the obligatory slap at Guantanamo, otherwise

this is pretty good.
“It would be better that the Government recognised that there are risks, rather than frightening people in order to be able to pass laws which restrict civil liberties, precisely one of the objects of terrorism: that we live in fear and under a police state,” she said.
Since holding terrorists and enemy combatants in Gitmo upsets everyone so much, I have a suggestion: start treating them like precious international law says, and shoot them when captured.

Yeah, I know; they'd scream bloody murder about that, too.  


If you use/used Skype, guess what?


Keith has won the 'nets with this:
so that's the collective noun for progressives:

an indignant of progressives


Speaking of indignation, "We can't let the non-muslim kids have a drink, it might upset the muslims!"


Second, it can be extremely painful to be a law-abiding citizen in today's media environment. Around 500 murders have happened in Chicago while the Zimmerman fiasco has been going on, yet there's no attendant media circus. And we all know why ... it's largely black-on-black crime, so the race hustlers can't get a foothold.


Speaking of idiot celebritutes,

 So, due to the sequester the troops and civilian employees need to be screwed over, but they have money for this?
The Defense Department recently awarded a $3.5 million grant to Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state to buy the 2,600 acres of prairie land surrounding it.
The move is part of an attempt to protect the Mazama pocket gopher, a species that is not considered either endangered or threatened.

Real moment of "I was out of line" realization,

or "Oh no, those people I called names aren't buying tickets anymore!" ?
Either way Jim Carrey can kiss my ass.

In our latest celebritute idiocy

we have Madonna kissing Obama's ass.  What really annoys me?  This is the bitch who announced she was going to raise her kids in Britain 'because the culture in the US has become so coarse', and this is how she speaks?

One more celebritute, it seems,

despite some previous actions.

You vandalize buildings, and call it 'street art'? Very fitting for someone who supports the man destroying our economy.

So; while that idiot Goldberg has 'my fingers crossed'

for communism, in the PRC,
The villagers continue to police themselves but remain on alert for government snatch squads.

Lin says he believes the authorities will keep their word to avoid more unrest.

"Zhu and other officials stressed over and over again they would not come in the village and arrest people," he said.

"If they do not agree to our three requests, with the release of Xue's body pending within about 10 days, we will go on the march as planned," he warned.
The PRC probably doesn't know just how many people it's killed in the name of communism; North Korea was one of the finest examples of what communism tends to be; people still risk their lives to get out of Cuba, Venezuela is being ruined, and on and on, and idiots like Goldberg still have hopes for it...

I'll note she was the clown who defended the drugging and rape of a girl because 'it wasn't RAPE rape'.

Miley Cyrus proves herself another dumbass celebritute

once again. If you care as much about this twit as I do, you can skip this, though it is a nice marker of stupidity.


Unrelated to news, that parkerized pistol I tried the restore treatment on? Just to see how it'd work I used the Lubriplate SFL-0 grease. After wiping off the excess it doesn't seem to be bleeding any off; either the Lubriplate grabs in to the the parking better than petroleum jelly, or the parking was worn enough to not hold enough for it to happen.


No, the only defensive gun uses aren't the ones that make the news; often they're important because of what didn't happen.


Ever messed with a sling? The old-fashioned kind? Interesting weapons. I need to get that shirt made: a sling appropriately draped across the front with the logo "David cheated!"


My, my, my, the administration REALLY doesn't want people reading more about the facts behind the Terry murder, do they?
We know this only because Washington D.C.’s conservative newspaper got ahold of the court documents before the government suddenly made them off limits. The now-sealed federal grand jury indictment tells the frightening story of how Terry was gunned down by Mexican drug smugglers patrolling the rugged desert with the intent to “intentionally and forcibly assault” Border Patrol agents.

You can see why the administration wants to keep this information from the public and the media, considering the smugglers were essentially armed by the U.S. government. Truth is, no one will know the reason for the confiscation of public court records in this case because the judge’s decision to seal it was also sealed, according to the news story. That means the public or media won’t have access to any new or old evidence, filings, rulings or arguments.
I will also say that this only being reported by 'the conservative newspaper' is a sorry comment on 'journalism'; a story like this ought to be bigtime news for ANY newspaper that actually cares about reporting news.


If you trained police dog can't tell the difference between someone it's been commanded to attack and a kid running in a yard, then the damned dog isn't well trained or is not controllable. Or both.
Campbell Police Sgt. John Rusnak said a police dog can’t differentiate between a playing boy and a crime suspect.
Then why was it off the fucking LEASH in a public area?


“Read the column the UK's Daily Mail pulled for being too dangerous”.
Because even writing about evil firearms and the right of self-defense is now too awful and PSH-inducing for British news.


And now I shall go make some tortillas to have with lunch. Since today I don't have to be ready to run off to work, etc.

Saw this the other day; I had wondered about the 'long gunfight' story

Maybe it’s the fog of war.

Chuck Pfarrer, a former SEAL Team Six assault-element commander, raises serious questions about the official story of Osama bin Laden’s takedown in his new book, “Seal Target Geronimo.”

“The further I got away from the Beltway, the more accurate information I got,” he said.

Pfarrer says it only took the SEALs 90 to 120 seconds -- from landing to the firing the final shot -- to take out bin Laden, far shorter than other accounts have claimed.

He says the forces entered the compound on the third floor via the roof, not from the ground as the official version has said.
...
President Obama’s role, too, was largely inflated.

He was out playing golf only 20 minutes before the raid began.

“If this had completely gone south, he was in a position to disavow,” Pfarrer claimed.


About some of the celebrity supporters of the OWS actions:
But the rank hypocrisy of these celebrities is a bit much to bear. Take Cornel West, for instance. I like West. He is willing to debate people he disagrees with, which is a sign of intellectual engagement, and he does so with flair. But his histrionics over “corporate greed” seem a little over the top considering he commands between $30,000 to $50,000 for a speech, according to the International Speakers Bureau. That’s an astounding figure. I hardly begrudge him for demanding such an exorbitant fee, of course. If people are willing to pay it, God bless him. But to go around lambasting others for greed when you are demanding $1,000 a minute to speak takes some gall. Susan Sarandon and Rosanne Barr have lent their support by visiting Occupy Wall Street’s protests and speaking out for its cause, while George Clooney and others have more passively backed the protests in interviews. (RELATED: Moore won’t admit he’s part of the ’1 percent’) While it is difficult to glean exactly what Occupy Wall Street’s main gripes are — after all, many of their supporters tend to be preliterate — one clear point of contention is the high rate of compensation CEOs earn, compared to the average worker. But I have never heard Clooney or Sarandon complain about the high rate of compensation top-market actors receive compared to garden-variety struggling thespians.


A number of aftershocks, one I believe they noted as a 5.2. And they've decided the initial quake was a 5.6. When it kept on for more than ten seconds, I had a moment of thinking "Did New Madrid decide to turn loose? Be an interesting next while if it did." Ace had a different thought: And when does the volcano break through? Which may seem odd, but... (USGS: "Because we didn't KNOW about the hot spot, THAT'S why we didn't warn people!")


What happens when the police consider themselves above the law, and anyone who actually enforces it is the enemy.
Together with a string of other recent cases, the Bronx case suggests that a culture of corruption and entitlement has spread through the ranks of the thin blue line. Worse, it is clear that police union officials are the mainstay of the illegal ticket fixing enterprise, so much so that prosecutors considered indicting the union as a corrupt organization under racketeering laws. The police demonstration in the Bronx was apparently orchestrated by the union, which sent text messages to officers urging that they show up to support colleagues involved in ticket fixing. “It’s a courtesy, not a crime,” was the slogan.


Ok, so the DC police department needs to fire some people. Assuming they give a damn about, y'know, impartially enforcing the law and such.


Ruemmler, you got a SUBPOENA, not a request for arguments; if the Stupid Party brass had the balls, they ought to cite you for contempt or something and go from there.


Ok... if the information is truly as Yon says, people need to lose rank. Or just be flatly thrown out of the military.


I appears some people at the Federal Regulatory Commission need to be added to the list of "Those direly in need of acquaintance with tar and feathers".


So OWS is taking lessons from the palisimians: "Use your children as tools; after all the Movement is far more important than they are."


Sooner or later, some of these clowns are going to block traffic and, either through putting someones life at risk or just pushing someone over their limit, pepper spray is going to seem like the mild outcome.


Actual illustration of Cain's sexual harassment!



Two U.S. lawmakers will introduce measures to impose a transaction tax on financial firms that resembles a proposal released by the European Union.

Senator Tom Harkin, an Iowa Democrat, and Representative Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat, will introduce the bills tomorrow in their respective chambers.
Translation: "We want to steal more of your money, but if we say it's a tax on the banks, we think you'll go along with it."


And that's it for now.

Hmmm. So Halle Berry is something of a racist and

a fool, or else playing the race card.
Berry, 44, is the daughter of a white mother, who was a psychiatric nurse, and a black father, who was a hospital attendant in the same ward. Aubry is French-Canadian and white.

The couple is in the middle of a bitter custody battle over their 2-year-old girl, Nahla.

"I feel she's black. I'm black and I'm her mother, and I believe in the one-drop theory," Berry said in an interview with Ebony magazine.
That she'll actually say this crap in public makes me wonder what she tells the kid about the father.
