All the bravado energy I have seen, can very well be spent starting here and contacting everybody in the subcommittees’ plus your local politicos if they are not in it.

And no, saying that you have a rep or senator who is virulent anti-gun and won’t change his/her mind so you won’t bother is a cheap excuse. Bother them, make them see that there is in fact an opposition and it is faithful to the Constitution. Shake their beliefs.

We need to go Herod on these bills and have them killed in their infancy.

PS: Include Senate President Bill (Bloomberg’s Bitch) Galvano in all your emails and calls. So far he is the confirmed RINO of this session.

If your butt is not clenching hard 2 seconds into the video…

So strange because according to the picture, it is happening in Brazil as per the shoulder patches.

Did they hire a recently let-go associate of the HuffPo to do art?

Details people, details. That pesky editorial oversight.  You are supposedly Conservative and has to have this stuff pat down.

Florida man stole laxatives thinking they were painkillers, police say

A Florida man is behind bars after stealing what he thought were Hydrocodone pills, but which turned out to actually be over-the-counter laxatives and not powerful prescription opioids, according to a criminal complaint.

Cops allege that Peter Hans Emery, 56, took the pills from a “lock box” at the victim’s Pinellas Park home Thursday morning.

The complaint lists Emery’s home address as the site of the theft itself. His relationship with the 49-year-old victim is unknown.

Emery, cops say, was recorded by a video camera “entering the victim’s lock box, selecting a pill bottle, pouring pills into his hand, and then leaving.” The pill container was labeled “Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen.”

However, Emery subsequently discovered that he had not swiped painkillers. The pill bottle actually contained dosages of Equate Gentle Laxative, which promises “predictable overnight relief” from constipation.

When Pinellas Park Police Department officers caught up with Emery Thursday night, he reportedly admitted taking the pills because he thought they were Hydrocodone.

“But he threw them away when he learned they were something else,” investigators noted.

I wonder how he figured out they were not Hydrocodone and how many he took to come to that revelation?

A quick google search shows that Equate Gentle Laxative contain Bisacodyl, which is a stimulant.  While Bisacodyl is listed as “minimally toxic” I can imagine that overdosing on it would be a pretty awful experience.

I am suddenly reminded of the funniest scene from one of my favorite, yet most underrated, Samuel L. Jackson movies, Formula 51.

This guy has a lot of priors, so he’s going back to prison for sure.  But in this case I think he may have already paid for this crime.

This is half-joking, half serious. I was watching Dr. Strange the other day and there is a line that goes “When Western medicine failed…” which always pissed me off since acupuncture, tai chi , Chinese herbs and all that stuff has not cured shit in the Far east. They are still dying pretty much of the same stuff we do, right?

The other thing I had shamefully imagined and turned out to be obviously false was fights. Thanks to YouTube and other video hosting places, we now know that fight in that side of the world do not look like scenes from a Jackie Chan or Bruce lee movie, but resemble pretty much the ame we have seen here: Stupid and graceless. This is from Thailand, go to 00:30 for the fight

We have been lied to all our lives! 🙂

I never thought I’d say this but I love Howard Schultz right now.

I’m not saying that I would vote for him, I just love what he is doing to politics right now.

He started Starbucks down the path to corporate wokeness, and frankly I don’t trust anyone woke.  I don’t yet know what his social policies are, but I have a feeling I won’t like them.

I am all about civil rights and equality of opportunity.  What I cannot abide is this new social corrosiveness where a person can be destroyed, either on social media or in the courts, for toeing the hard Left line, and I believe it is time that we start having freedom of conscious protections in this country.

But when it comes to Schultz’s economic positions, boy howdy, he’s hammering the Democrats.

He came right out and said that he decided to run because he didn’t want AOC to the be the future of the Democrat Party, and that her 70% income tax rate is both infeasible and destructive.  “Un-American” is one of the words he used.

He has come out against Medicare for All as an economic disaster, and has attacked our $21 Trillion national debt as our greatest domestic threat.  Yeah, not global warming but debt.

This has just brought out the HATE among Democrats.

The Democratic Party’s public enemy No. 1: Howard Schultz

He’s only been in the 2020 presidential fray for two days, but Howard Schultz has already accomplished the near-impossible: He’s united the Democratic Party.

Against him.

Everyone even loosely affiliated with the party, from billionaire centrist Michael Bloomberg to the hard lefties at Justice Democrats, has paused their ideological infighting to join together in open season on the coffee mogul and his potential independent presidential bid.

This is where it gets good.

Adam Parkhomenko, who founded the group Ready for Hillary and went on to work for Clinton’s campaign, set up the website ProtestHoward.com to help organize aspiring hecklers.

“Howard Schultz has spent a lot of time in the last 24 hours telling America that ideas from women are un-American,” Parkhomenko said, referring to his criticism of presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris. “He’s as dumb and out of touch as his idiotic indy bid would suggest.”

Because that’s all the Democrats have now.  Warren and Harris’ ideas are shit that should have been left on the ash heap of Communism, but the only defense they can muster against legitimate economic criticism is the accusations of misogyny.

Social media is LIT over this.

And it is prompting a boycott of Starbucks because of it.

This goes to show you just how Democrats think.

Schultz is no longer the CEO of Starbucks, and has resigned as Chairman of the Board of the company.  Other than maybe stock, he has no ties to Starbucks anymore.  But because he’s running, Democrats are going to hurt working class baristas and managers.  These people are fucking brilliant.

What Schultz has done is laid bare the Democrats plan.

The DNC has become a party led by extremists, even if most Americans are not terribly extreme in their politics.

I have come to believe that the Democrats know this, so the plan has been to get an extremist, Socialist Democrat elected by convincing moderate Americans to hate Trump and vote for whoever is running against him.

If Schultz comes along and economically sounds more moderate if not ever so slightly classically conservative (that national debt thing was spot on old school Republican), he will draw a lot of votes.

The only way the Democrats have of voting in a Socialist at the national level is by relying on a huge swath off the middle of the political spectrum voting from the position of blind hatred for Trump, and for that there can only be one other candidate, Not-Trump.

The apoplectic response to Schultz proves that they don’t want to give the Americans a moderate candidate to vote for.  They want to put a radical Leftist in power by way of the “anybody but Trump” vote.

It is incredible to watch.  I want Schultz to keep going with this campaign until election day on 2020, just to expose the Democrats for the extremists that they are.
