Where a Redneck Jew, a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
Me (showing news to the wife): How about it? They are free.
Missus: No.
Me: But baby, Storm Eta is coming. Just in case of floods.
Missus: Yeah sure. We have been living here for over 20 years and survived 10 hurricanes. We never flooded
Me: But you never know.
Missus: You are not building shooting fortifications inside the house!
Me: You re no fun.
Let me try a bit of copy/paste from the email I got earlier… and success!
I keep buying and recommending this company because they have produced good medical emergency stuff at a very decent prices.
I will admit I was not equipped with chest seals so I want ahead and ordered two. And yes, you only get the discount for one. don’t be greedy.
Anyway, we are facing uncertain times, so stock up.

Night of the Long Knives, in German history, purge of Nazi leaders by Adolf Hitler on June 30, 1934. Fearing that the paramilitary SA had become too powerful, Hitler ordered his elite SS guards to murder the organization’s leaders, including Ernst Röhm. Also killed that night were hundreds of other perceived opponents of Hitler.
This was a very dumb move by Antifa. They want to burn the hand that has been feeding them.
Ernst Röhm and his buddies were getting too big for their britches after they did all the nastiness against Jews and political opponents do Hitler could consolidate power. He thought he was going to be seated to the right of the throne, but instead he got executed for hi troubles and the S.A disbanded.
We are about to enter very interesting times.
I was picking up the little girl from daycare yesterday when I saw something that reminded me of this video.
Infants need to see faces. It’s how they communicate and understand their surroundings.
We as humans needs to see faces. Faces humanize each other.
The blindfold or hoodwink at an execution isn’t for the comfort of the condemned but for the comfort of the executioner.
The history of military technology is extending the lethal range of your weapons because it is very hard to kill a stranger when you can see his face. It’s easier when you are vollying arrows hundreds of yards or shooting artillery or dropping bombs on map coordinates.
The reason we can watch a movie like Star Wars and accept Stormtroopers as blaster fodder is because they are masked. You don’t see their faces so it’s easy to discount them as people.
So we have children in daycare where all the adults wear masks. That’s a state mandate.
We take children into public and all the strangers are in masks.
We are raising a generation of infants where anyone who isn’t immediate family is a mask not a face. How will this affect their long-term socialization and communication? Are we going to have a generation of sociopaths because they spent the most important years of their lives cut off from other humans’ faces and facial expressions?
Has anyone remotely considered this.
“We have to stop the virus.”
But is the cost for that a generation of kids with stunted emotional development, poor communication, and no empathy for strangers?
That cure is far worse than the disease.
I saw a Michelle Malkin tweet last night referring to Tsinelas and by the context, I sort of figured what it meant… and I was frightfully right.
My dearly mom had also the sniper badge when it came to the accurate throwing of chancletas (how we call them in Venezuela) and no manner of weaving or zigzagging on my part made her miss. The part I laughed the most (because it is true) is that the “death hit” was a square impact on the butt. Dear readers, I am not the most graceful person in the world, so I had my share of falls, cuts, puncture wounds , hard impacts against solid objects and even one vehicular collision. Nothing ever hurt as much as mom’s landing a perfect hit on my ass.
The only “unreal” part of this video IMHO is that the culprits actually grab on mom to defend themselves. You are allowed to do blocking moves, but you never touch mom! I do believe pretty much it carries the Death Penalty to do so.
I sent the video to Blog Son and he is back in therapy. He shared the video with other past victims of tsinelas’ abuse and he had this to say:
A lot of us are unpacking trauma.
I know how you feel.
PS: In Venezuela, the flipflops are also called cholas so if you see me flipping back and forth in the future, rest assured I am still talking about the same evil instrument.
(I apologize, this post ended up being a tad long)
Musú
“Musiú” is a generic name which Venezuelans apply to all foreigners. It is a corruption of the honorary title monsieur and has been in use since the late eighteenth century.
The definition is almost right. But its fails to mention that it is derogatory just like the Japanese use of Gaijin (Foreigner/Barbarian). And here is the shocker: It is applied to White People mostly and not only the foreigners but their children.
I was a Musiú and I reckon I still am.
So I see this idiocy in J Kb’s post, I had to laugh. She knows shit about Latinos, no matter how much she said she studied us.
Old time readers have endured my explanations about Latinos/Hispanics before. For their own reason, the Left has tried to portray the “Brown Peoples” as a pure lineage that tracks directly to the indigenous tribes prior to the arrival of Columbus while in reality Latin/Hispanics are a creation of the need for nookie. Allow me to explain again.
After the Americas were discovered, Spain began what we know as La Conquista (The Conquering) which was done by male Spaniards almost exclusively. Central and South America were not even remotely a suburban patch of land but a huge jungle populated by highly aggressive and in some cases, cannibalistic indians who were not very happy with the Spaniards searching for gold, silver and precious jewels. As you can imagine, this was not a “Let’s get the wife and kids in the family truckster and drive leisurely to Buenos Aires” vacation trip but a damned dangerous enterprise, so there was one important element missing in the Americas during La Conquista: Spaniard women.
So the solution for the Conquistadores was to take on comely natives to be their partners and eventually their wives with the blessings of the Spanish Crown and the Church who hated the concept of bastard children. By the time La Colonia (Colonization) begins, we already have a substantial amount of mixed-blood descendants which will come to be know as Hispanics/Latinos and who basically start managing for the Spanish Crown the lands their parents conquered.
So, the concept of “Whitness” as the Left loves to wave around, simply did not apply in Central and South America. Let’s begin with the fact that the Anglo-Saxon immigration south of the Rio Grande was almost non-existing and also the fact that 700 years of Islamic oppression in Iberic lands was bound to leave an important amount of North African DNA in the Spanish genealogy. Oh yeah, they don’t mention that save for some provinces in Northern Spain, (Galicia, Cataluña and Vascongadas) the rest of the country was enslaved and dutifully used by the Muslims for 7 centuries.
And here is the other tidbit of information they fail to pass to you. Same as with the British Colonies in North America, the Hispanic/Latinos had to bring slaves from Africa. I read somewhere that up to 80 of the slaves brought to the New World ended up in the Spanish and Portuguese domains. But this time, there was no intermingling of races to create a new race. Black Slaves remained mostly separate from the mainstream society even after Slavery was abolished. Good and proper Latinos simply did not mix with the Negros. That disdain still permeates ever so subtly to this day throughout L:atin America. Just check how many black presidents there has been in all the countries or how many blacks have risen to positions of power in either the public or private sector. Get a comfy chair while you do
So when I see Black people trying to cuddle with Latinos here in the US as if they both had suffered under the Evil White Gringos in lands near and far, I have to laugh. And I get real loud with the laughter when the same Black politicos demanding reparations are standing next to a Latino whose ancestors may have owned slaves in Latin America.
This is getting long, even for me but I have to add something else on the Musiú thing. Many years ago when I was a college student here in the US, I had the official argument with a fellow black collegian about being the target of racism. He said I simply could not understand what being a minority was and what came with it. I asked him if it was like being targeted every day at school, beat up by racist bullies, spit upon, made lewd fun of your mother because of her race, have teachers look at you and grade you as you were a low-level moron, not to be chosen for clubs or outings or sport teams, never to be invited to parties because of who you were, having the derogatory name used against you anytime you had an argument with somebody, assume that what you owned was not legally obtained with the sweat of your brow but that you stole it. I asked him if it was anything like that. He was smart enough to recognize he had screwed up and the discussion ended.
Oh yeah, I grew up feeling and enjoying all the perks White Privilege and oppressing the poor Latinos around me.
