This lying fucking bullshit:

If you go into the story what you will read is that there was an inquiry about having an Active Denial System available in case protests in Lafayette Park got out of hand.

This park is adjacent to the Whitehouse so there is a very real concern about rioters using the protest as cover to attack the Whitehouse.

Imagine a protest and one guy with a rifle among the protesters shooting at the Whitehouse.

Whitehouse security is one thing nobody in DC fucks around with.

The Active Denial System uses a frequency of electromagnetic radiation that heats the water in the skin to sub millimeter depths.  The result is that it feels like you stuck your face into a hot oven but it does no physical damage.

If I strapped you to a chair and blasted you with an ADS so the you could not run away, you might get the equivalent to a mild sunburn.

Far less damage than pepper spray, CS gas, or impact projectiles.

But the media is pushing this like it’s thr fucking flesh melting heat ray from the War of the World’s.

I’m convinced what these people really want is for the “peaceful protesters” to open up on the Trump Whitehouse like they did to the Portland Federal Courthouse.

I don’t think they care if the People’s House was damaged if it gets Trump.

Or if it sets precedent that fire bombing the Whitehouse is acceptable because they know Conservatives will never throw a Molotov Cocktail at the Whitehouse no matter what the Ocasi-Cortez/Tlaib administration does by executive order.

It’s that this sort of mendacity is so shamelessly pushed.

Leftist headline: “Trump orders peaceful protesters burned with heat ray.” Shows Getty image of Vietnamese child covered in napalm.

Reality: “DC Guard seeks non-lethal system to prevent Antifa from launching bombs at Whitehouse.”

I fucking hate the garbage media.

A week ago I posted about the sudden drop of marches and riots after it came out they were affecting negatively the Democrats according to polls. It has been a week and the traditional highly organized Antifa/BLM “block parties” are nowhere to be found.

I follow a couple of YouTube aggregators who do nothing else that collect streaming feeds from different sources and the only congregation of peoples trying to do BLM-ish stuff are at most a couple of dozen people per location just being an annoyance and little effective, In Rochester they seem to have tried to do a CHAZ takeover thing in front of City Hall, but they did not have enough protesters to cover one street block.

About the only exception had to do with the episode in Lancaster where initially  Lefty Social media reported the shooting of a poor unarmed black autist which drew somewhat violent protest by a scant few that quickly dissipated by the second day once the police video was released and the screen capture of a jumping & screaming man, knife in hand attacking the responded officer was released to the public.

Short of another shooting that is actually outrageous, I believe we have seen the last of the big organized Antifa/BLM till November. After that, my gut tells me they are gonna let the little barbarians loose to create havoc.

That might end up being called “The night the switch flipped.”

It is a great episode that you should listen if anything because we are mentioned in it.  So, excuse us while we squee.

Finally the name will be revealed: AWA’s name is Chris and he runs Troglodite Services LLC (Yes, spelled like that.) and he is the guy who recued this blog from my desire to execute it.

“A Troglodyte is a caveman OR a person characterized by reclusive habits or outmoded or reactionary attitudes.”

Kinda like half our readers. He can be contacted via sales@troglodite.com and if you are thinking is about time to upgrade your crappy webhost, I suggest you talk to Chris first and see what he can do for you.

And if you forget, logo and link are already on the right column of the blog.

Costco is famous for its return policy. If you are unhappy with a Kirkland brand product, you can return it.

At lunch, I went to Costco to fill up the truck.

Out of boredom, I asked the gas station attendant:

“If I’m unhappy with my Kirkland gas, can I return it?”

No less than three layers of management were inquired about the Costco return policy on gasoline.

Nobody was sure how I would return the unused gas if I didn’t like it.

I hope I don’t lose my membership.

My district, according to Miami Dade Elections, is about 65% registered Democrats. But in the 2 decades living here, You could never tell who was what unless you asked, which is deemed impolite. Something I have never seen is political signs and flags in private properties. Sure, you will see some posters placed in the fences abandoned lots and maybe a corner or two in a light pole, but house openly declaring their favoritism? Simply not done.

Today I went out and saw this.

Most houses were simply decorated: A yard sign usually accompanied by the flag.

But I have to say this was my favorite:

Again let me say how amazing these displays are to me because in 20 years, I never saw anything this outward, so prideful when it came to p[residential politics.

Miami-Dade usually votes blue and the strategy is not to have that many people vote so the red votes in other counties upset the Democrat applecart. But i suddenly have this little spark in my guts telling me that maybe come November 3rd, maybe it will be a very pale blue or even a light shade or red for Miami Dade county. No wonder Bloomberg feels it needs to spend $100 million in Florida.

PS: Yes, you are asking if I saw the same stuff for the other side and I did: Only one house. Kid you not.

Minneapolis City Council members, some of whom support defunding the city's police department, say their constituents are “terrified” by a violent uptick.https://t.co/EnUY1zcKjI

— MPR News (@MPRnews) September 16, 2020

With violent crime on the rise in Mpls., City Council asks: Where are the police?

I don’t know, you voted to defund them you stupid, short-sighted fucks.

But for much of the two-hour meeting, council members told police Chief Medaria Arradondo that their constituents are seeing and hearing street racing which sometimes results in crashes, brazen daylight carjackings, robberies, assaults and shootings. And they asked Arradondo what the department is doing about it.

“Residents are asking, ‘Where are the police’?” said Jamal Osman, newly elected council member of Ward 6. He said he’s already been inundated with complaints from residents that calls for police aren’t being answered.

“That is the only public safety option they have at the moment. MPD. They rely on MPD. And they are saying they are nowhere to be seen,” Osman said.

Boo-hoo-hoo.

The number of reported violent crimes, like assaults, robberies and homicides are up compared to 2019, according to MPD crime data. More people have been killed in the city in the first nine months of 2020 than were slain in all of last year. Property crimes, like burglaries and auto thefts, are also up. Incidents of arson have increased 55 percent over the total at this point in 2019.

Fuck you, I was told those were just peaceful protests.  You don’t get to complain about arson after you blew all that smoke up my ass.

Council President Lisa Bender, who was among those leading the call to overhaul the department, suggested that officers were being defiant. Her constituents say officers on the street have admitted that they’re purposely not arresting people who are committing crimes.

Maybe treating the cops like murderers and because the city suppressed the information that George Floyd overdosed caused the cops to come down with the Blue Flu.

Council members in wards which usually don’t see high levels of violence say their constituents are feeling “terrorized.”

Awww… are the wealthy, white, suburbanite Progressives not happy with what they voted for?

Kiss my ass.

Despite the uptick of crime in his ward, Cunningham, who supports the creation of a new community safety agency to replace the police department, said it’s particularly important now to start instituting some of those public health-based approaches to violence prevention. Recently, the council took more than $1 million from the police budget to hire “violence interrupters” to intervene and defuse potentially violent confrontations.

I guess those “violence interrupters” aren’t working.  Glad you spent a million on them.

The Leftists voted for that shit sandwich and now they don’t like the taste of it.

All I can say to them is: “Fuck you, you ordered that turd with corn and extra jalapeños, now you have to eat it.  Try not to choke you dumb fucks.”
