This kind of crap is what happens when a group has no actual problems

to deal with, so they have to create something.
Students at a Virginia law school are asking the administration to remove 'controversial' figures George Washington and Robert E. Lee from their graduation diplomas.
Fucking whiny bitches.

Because telling the whiny ones that "This symbol far predates the national socialists"

is apparently too hard.


And remember that idiot principal with the "I can't say the Holocaust is a factual, historical event" response to a parent?  He got his pee-pee whacked, and he's all upset.

After being reassigned, Latson wrote to high school staff, saying his words to the parent were "not accurately relayed," according to an email obtained by CNN. "It is unfortunate that someone can make a false statement and do so anonymously and it holds credibility but that is the world we live in," Latson wrote.

...

Previously, Latson had told the Palm Beach Post, "I regret that the verbiage that I used when responding to an email message from a parent, one year ago, did not accurately reflect my professional and personal commitment to educating all students about the atrocities of the Holocaust."

Actually, I'd say the verbiage very accurately reflected his commitment; that's why he's in the doghouse.  And deserves worse.

Meanwhile, from the whiny bitches of Snowflake Land,

“If the day comes you are accused of some crime or tort of which you are not guilty, and you find your peers automatically believing your accuser, I expect you find yourself a stronger proponent of due process than you are now,” emailed Professor James Moore. 

The email — in response to a reply-all email that urged students to “Believe Survivors” on the day of Christine Ford’s testimony — triggered what one school admin said was “hundreds” of emails from concerned students and alumni since Thursday.
Snowflakes lose their shit.  And we have the usual statement to them from the spineless dean:
...what Moore said is “not what our school represents.”

"It's just awful when your brother makes himself a public figure

(loud-mouthed, foul-mouthed, arrogant, and nasty, but still) and someone refuses to kiss his ass!"

This is just so bloody rich...

On top of which, Lauren, you bitch:

Lauren Hogg, the very woman who approached Melania Trump about the horrors of "cyberbullying," attacked Loesch on Twitter earlier this month.

Lauren Hogg responded favorably to a tweet from Cameron Kasky, the founder of the "March for Our Lives," which read: "Somewhere, somebody is comforting their crying child who has only recently awaken from a terrifying dream about [Dana Loesch]."

you're not in a good position to be whining about what other people say.

'Getting out of control'? Guy, you went past being in control

a looong time ago.


Ruger makes a version of their Precision Rifle in .22lr. And Shannon Watts is all pissed-off that someone 18 or over can buy it. Because "EVIL BLACK RIFLE!", etc., and took to Twitter* over it.

In the comments(I know, but I couldn't help myself) one of her Twidiots named Paul Wu has a fit because people dared point out that this is just a bolt-action .22:
'And stop it with your ammosexual pedantry as a desperate ploy to muddy the waters. You know exactly what gun control advocates mean when we say assault style weapons - semi-automatic, pistol grip, threaded barrel that accepts intermediate-power cartridges. '
Thus informing is that
'Pedantry' is now defined as 'pointing out facts that he doesn't approve of',
And that Paul is an ignorant fool. Or tool. Both, actually.

Note that according to this, a threaded barrel apparently turns a bolt-action rifle into an 'assault style weapon'. If, again, you're an ignorant fool.


I think he could've used a pocket pistol.  The piece of crap who did this earned ventilation.


From NPR, mind you, accurate information on violent crimes involving firearms.  Though this is a bit of nonsense:
"Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49 percent lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation's population grew," according to the Pew study. "The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75 percent lower in 2011 than in 1993."

All of that is good news — but many Americans don't seem to be aware of it. In a survey, the Pew Research Center found that only 12 percent of Americans believe the gun crime rate is lower today than it was in 1993; 56 percent believe it's higher.
They probably don't know it because, led by a bunch of talking heads(including some of yours, NPR) who constantly scream about 'the epidemic of gun violence!', they don't hear these facts.


It seems that some of the teenagers being used(abused?) by the media and left(but I repeat myself) to demand "Listen to the children, ban guns!" are now comparing themselves to the Founders of this country.  Because "They were young too, but you don't tell people to ignore them."

Oh, you poor little twits.  You have accomplishments like theirs, maybe I'll listen to your "Do what I want!" demands.  Doubt it, but at least you'd have actually DONE SOMETHING other than be a media puppet.



*Go look if you want.  Some people actually do point out she's having a fit over a bolt-action .22, but her twidiots are still crapping.

Denmark, what you've become...

The Danish government contracted with a local scrapyard to destroy hundreds of locally seized firearms. This kind of story is frequently seen in countries with strict gun control legislation where fine pieces of engineering and history become destroyed because … I don’t know why.
Because commoners cannot be allowed such.  Even when they're antiques or inoperable. 


I don't know a lot about chemistry, but I do know that picture is scary as hell.


Crap like this is why so many consider SJBs to be a bunch of effing wankers.
'Dr. Seuss's racist propaganda'?  Really?


We're supposed to get along with idiots like this?

Back in the 70's there was a song: Freeze a Yankee

Nobody will have to do a thing, they're doing it to themselves.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York is expected to confirm on Monday that the state has reached an agreement to shut down the Indian Point nuclear power plant, which sits less than 30 miles north of New York City, by April 2021, state officials said.
You know what they have to replace it?  Nothing.  Gov. Howler is counting on unicorn farts and buying electricity from Canada.  As the guy at Reason says
So your plan is to shut down an American energy plant of high repute and replace its output with hydroelectric power from Canada? That’s exactly the opposite of promoting domestic energy independence. And the idea that it won’t affect utility rates is a pipe dream as well. New Yorkers already pay the highest utility rates in the country outside of Hawaii and they’re only going to go further up because of this.

I'm sure the usual screamers are trumpeting their victory over Radiation.  Because they're stupid.  Too bad the plant can't be moved to supply people not in NY effingCity.  The people who didn't want Gov. Howler controlling their lives.

Thought I remembered something, and I found it; piece from last year on the idiots in that region apparently preferring freezing in the dark to nasty pipelines and such.


Short version: The 'social justice' types are eating each other.  And not in a fun way.

And that raped girl shouldn't have been dressed that way

and on the wrong part of campus, right?
We, the Black Student Union do not support the mass publication of videos, articles and any other statements that misrepresent this incident. This misrepresentation has led to racist, homophobic and misogynistic slurs being directed at members of our organization.
Because an unedited video of the mess is SUCH a misrepresentation, right.  And they gave no examples of said slurs.
The group casts aspersions on the “white male” who recorded the incident, Austin King, with no evidence that his recording was anything other a spur-of-the-moment response to physical aggression in public. King has said he plans to press charges against Tindle for attacking him when she noticed he was recording.
"He's white, HE'S the guilty one!" Sounds familiar, doesn't it?


Well, where were you bastards when he did the same crap before?  Oh, that's right, you didn't really have a problem with it then.  What changed, dumbass?


Whiny little oversensitive bitches, and the school brass who enable them. 


Well, when you send planes out, won't let them hit targets, and then they have to drop the weapons on empty desert, YOU RUN OUT OF THEM.  That's hard for you idiots to understand, or you don't want to mention that part?


Put bluntly: If the Dept. of Defense is wasting time and money on bullshit like this, no wonder ISIS is still a going concern.  'Idiots' barely begins to cover it.
The video opens with a startlingly brutal cartoon re-creation of the murder of Catherine “Kitty” Genovese, the 28-year-old woman whose rape and murder in a Queens neighborhood in 1964 sparked national soul-searching after it was reported that neighbors ignored her cries for help. 
...
After dramatizing the Genovese murder, the video presents the nine nonviolent actions that one should take if confronted by a rapist/murderer/necrophiliac like Moseley. Here are the nine points, verbatim. No, this is not satire:
(1) Name or Acknowledge the Offense
(2) Identify the Obvious
(3) Interrupt Behavior
(4) Publicly Support the Aggrieved Person
(5) Use Body Language
(6) Carefully Use Humor
(7) Encourage Dialogue
(8) Ease Strong Feelings
(9) Call for Help
Yeah. THOSE will do it.  Sure.
... As ludicrous as the Finnish video is, this one is a hundred bad miles of worse. “Humor”? “Body language”? “Dialogue”? “Easing strong feelings”? In the face of an attack by someone like Winston Moseley? At least the Finnish video allows the victim to touch the prospective rapist. The Department of Defense video prohibits any physical contact. Because of course any serial-killing necrophiliac rapist will respond well to “humor.” I’m surprised the video didn’t come with an accompanying book of jokes to help break the ice.


Had to skip lodge last night.  I was going to try(before that) for the outdoor range today.  Except it rained, and was still raining lightly this morning.  And might all day.  Add in the whole 'start coughing and feels like skull is trying to explode' thing, and the range seems contraindicated.  At least aspirin helps the headache.

At this point, if the dogs weren't low on food I'd just sit here all day
