TAYLOR, Texas —
Three Taylor High School seniors were arrested Wednesday after officials said they made comments about committing a school shooting.

The students — all 17 years old — have been identified as Devant Davis-Brooks, Kadin Watson and Emmanuel Tejas Pina. All three were charged with making a terroristic threat.

Taylor police say while in class several students overheard the three suspects making “detailed plans” to coordinate a shooting at the school that involved explosives and firearms.

Now, how real were those plans? How much credence did the authorities give to the threat?

[Superintendent Keith Brown] says they’ll be suspended for three days, then they’ll be sent to alternative school before they can come back to class.

Does not sound so dangerous but maybe a case of kids being verbally stupid discussing or talking about stuff that would set off all the appropriate alarms.

She is now sitting at the right of Ronald Reagan. Her tweet is chock-full of not so nice replies from her followers and fellow socialists. Go take a read and have fun.

Liberals will eat themselves in the name of outrage.

In the ACLU’s view, targeting a nonprofit advocacy group and seeking to deny it financial services because it promotes a lawful activity (the use of guns) violates the First Amendment. Because we believe the governor’s actions, as alleged, threaten the First Amendment rights of all advocacy organizations, the ACLU on Friday filed a friend-of-the-court brief supporting the NRA’s right to have its day in court.
The state has asked the court to dismiss the case without even permitting discovery into the administration’s actions. Our brief supports the NRA’s right to discovery on its First Amendment claims. To be clear, the ACLU does not oppose reasonable restrictions on guns (you can read more about that here). Our position in this case has nothing to do with our opinions on the NRA’s policies — it’s about the First Amendment rights of all organizations to engage in political advocacy without fear that the state will use its regulatory authority to penalize them for doing so.

New York State Can’t Be Allowed to Stifle the NRA’s Political Speech.

It is not like the ACLU suddenly found Jesus and have seen the error of their ways, bit it applies to more earthly endeavors:

Political advocacy organizations like the NRA (or the ACLU or Planned Parenthood) need basic business services, like insurance and banking, to operate. The NRA says that the state, using its regulatory powers over those industries, is threatening financial companies that do business with the NRA.

The NRA points to both public and non-public actions taken by the Cuomo administration to penalize it for its views. State officials issued press releases and sent threatening letters to banks and insurance companies, and also allegedly communicated “backchannel threats” to companies with ties to the NRA, warning that they would face regulatory action if they failed to end their relationships with the organization

The ACLU is smart enough to realize politic fluctuates and “friendly” elected officials change opinion or get removed and get substituted by other that may not take kindly ACLU’s views on things. And with Media not having the powerful political hammer blows it had once, they cannot count on public outrage to save them from the same fascist principles to be applied on them.

So, more than nuanced principles based on the Bill of Rights, we are seeing a good dose of self-preservation in action. I really don’t care one way or the other as long as they help shut down the Society of St. Tammany Mafiosi.

Nothing like a big dose of Politically Correct bullshit to make brownie points with the SJW crowd.  (Link to the story)

When we hear the term “construction jobs” we rightfully think about what Obama called “Shovel Ready Jobs”: Getting down to the rough and dirty aspect of construction. I have done some construction work, I have seen plenty people working construction jobs and, you know what? I have never seen any of them wearing skin-tight pants to the work site.  And you have to love the long-flowing hair moving around in the shot even when long hair is not quite seen as safe by OSHA in a location with machinery such as a construction site.  

Mind you, I have seen women do hard construction labor through my life, my mother being one of them and they never dressed like they were going out on a field trip to the museum.

Of course, the news story provides a couple of obligatory “tough work” shots:

Now, I have set tile more than a couple of times and in the video you can see that the mortar was not properly spread with a tile trowel but somebody dropped a blob of mortar for the B-Roll shot.

And you have to love this shot:

In the video, you can barely see it, but she is about to plaster the joints of an unfinished wall without paper or mesh while wearing yoga pants. Yup, that is building code in Broward County.

Also in the video, they show women in inspection roles and that is not only fine but a very important part of any construction job, so why what appears to be made up shots? My guess so the eternal lie that a woman can do anything a man can is repeated once again.  That is a disservice to women who want to work in construction and are going to believe that they can carry 80 pound bags of cement all day long and then be fired or injured the first day and damaging the “movement’s” credibility.

This kind of puff piece harms more than helps women. They should be embarrassed to even come up with the idea,

Conor Daly’s father admitted he used the dreaded “N-word” over three decades ago and that made Social Justice Warriors lose their continence. Conor Daly himself is only 26 years old (DOB Dec 15, 1991). He is being punished for something that happened before he was born!

You wake up in the mornings and read stuff like this and simply ruins the day. Why are we letting a mob of idiots get away with stuff like this? Are we being polite to the point of dancing ourselves all the way to the gallows?

I found this quote and it applies all too well.

“It is unfortunate that in most cases when the sins of the father fall on the son it is because unlike God, people refuse to forgive and forget and heap past wrongs upon innocent generations.”
― E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly,

We are letting the Eternally Offended and Always Hateful dictate a very dangerous  set of Moral Laws, sort of a 21st century version of the Nuremberg Laws.

It seems that we find ourselves getting too close to the “Us or Them” moment and inevitably the herd will be thinned and common sense will have to be grown again over a pile of bodies.

For all the BS, Amazon is doing a great job producing series. They may not be as prolific as Netflix, but the ones they make usually are very good, especially the Science Fiction stuff.  And they were smart enough to rescue The Expanse when the idiots of SyFy  decided to cancel it.
