So there is this group, Phoenix John Brown Gun Club who touts to be an armed Left Wing “Working to stem the tide of reactionary recruitment within white working class communities, fight white supremacy, & build liberatory community defense.”

OK, kinda contradictory if you are fighting White Supremacy and you are white and carrying an “assault weapon” because kinda contradicts the tenets of the Left in America. So let me dig a bit deeper on what they stand for:

OK, cool. I can dig that you feel those groups need to be defended. Call me crazy but, wouldn’t the application of the Second Amendment be more effective? I mean, it stands to reason that if those “abused” groups were armed, it would be kinda difficult for anybody to abuse them, right? I know, it is a revolutionary concept for the Left, but this is the revolution or am I mistake with the concept?

Is there anything else about this group?

“The history of the white working class is one full of resistance, collectively and individually, against the rich elite that hold power over all of our lives. From massive armed uprisings like the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921, to the resistance to coal mining in predominately white rural Appalachia today, white working people have been in conflict with those that uphold predatory economic, political, and social systems.”

OK, so far we are somewhat historically  accurate. But something is not quite right.

“The history of the white working class is also one filled with collaboration with those same rich elite power holders. White working people have played the role of foot soldiers for the political and economic elite, participating in genocide and the enslavement of other peoples, and overall protectors of the ruling class. White working class participation in state and paramilitary organizations and formations like the Ku Klux Klan, the Minutemen, the U.S. Armed Forces, and the Council of Conservative Citizens has undermined the struggle for freedom among all people.”

Hmmm, we have what seems to be an attack of white guilt.

“It is with these conflicting histories in mind that we hope to incite a movement amongst white working people that works toward the total liberation of all working people, regardless of skin color, religious background, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, or any other division that bosses and politicians have used to fragment movements for social, political, and economic freedom.”

So basically you guys are a Left Wing Ku Klux Klan: Minorities are still inferior but instead of directly oppress them, you are going to do the soft tyranny this of ” defending” them because you think (and know in your heart) they are inferior. Got it.

Here is an article about them by an avowed Left Winger:

Since you don’t every day see groups of left-wingers totin’ semi-automatic rifles, strolling down the sidewalk, I figured I would follow them and record this odd phenomenon via Facebook Live. Earlier, the spokeswoman told me that someone with the Brown Berets might talk with me, but she later came up as I was recording the group with my iPhone, and told me the Brown Berets were keeping it zipped as well. She also asked me to stop filming. And I told her I wasn’t going to do that, because we were on public property.

Well, that does not sound good.

“But at one point, I walked next to a dude in a yellow headscarf, whom I’d tried to talk with before, and I brushed against him, unintentionally.
I didn’t think much of it, as the sidewalk is only so big, but he apparently took offense, because in retaliation, he walked backwards into me, pushing me aside.
This is the sort of thing that I would normally expect from the right-wing militia-types, but, in reality, the group was little more than an ad hoc left-wing militia. So I shouldn’t have been surprised.”

Ouch.  So much aggressiveness which is par for the “revolutionary” groups. Again, not surprising me one bit, thinking they have some sort of power can be quite intoxicating.

“I told him I was with Phoenix New Times, but I wasn’t going to show him anything unless he identified himself to me.
He would not do this, and the conversation went back and forth, with him asking me to stop filming and leave, and me informing him that we’re in a public place and I’m not going anywhere.
“I’m just going to warn you that we’re not responsible for anything that might happen to that phone,” he told me, meaning the phone I was holding.
The spokeswoman approached, justifying their request that I not film because they were “trying to protect the safety and identity of our members.”

And that is the paragraph with all the info you need to know: They were threatening a “journalist” with destruction of property and possibly more. And although you know my contempt for the latest generation of journos, the point of not respecting the First Amendment and its basic applications means that they do not respect or understand the Bill of Rights as a whole and that the carrying of weapons is at best decoration and at worse intimidation. Do they have the balls to and actually kill political opponents? I doubt it, but at the same time I have experienced how fast people not only adapt to killing but come to enjoy it.

Every Communist must grasp the truth; “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”
Mao Zedong . “Problems of War and Strategy” (November 6, 1938), Selected Works, Vol. II, p. 224.

And never forget one thing: Screw heroin, nicotine, oxy, cocaine, meth, etc. There is no more addictive and more “satisfying” drug than Power. They do not want to fight power for liberation’s sake, they just want a taste of that throne. and the perks it gives. They ignore that the throne is downrange.

And once again, we end up with the basic difference between them and us: We just want to be left alone. They can’t help themselves but to tell people what to do.

PS: And this is also for those on our side who think the Left will magically shed their notions once they buy a gun because somehow and magically it will make them understand what the Second Amendment and the Bill of Right means.

Spots on a Leopard.

Shannon Watts’ inability to be right was all over my news feed today.  Surprisingly, it wasn’t about guns.

Shannon Watts was in an airport waiting to board a flight, when she witnessed an interaction between some passengers and a representative from United Airlines.

Rather than wait for all the fact to come in, she took to Twitter to espouse her opinion, grounded heavily in the witch’s brew of ignorance and indignation.  Her two favorite intellectual states.

This hit every possible Social Justice outrage button.  Policing women’s bodies and clothing, sexualizing women and children, big corporation vs. the little guy/girl, racism, are leggings pants, etc.

Within hours it have become #leggingsgate.

United Airlines did what any rational actor  would do any try to explain themselves.

As it turns out, the passengers in question were not paying customers.  They were flying gratis as per the United Pass program.  As such, specific rules – such as dress and behavior codes – applied to them.  They are flying on United’s dime, and are seen as representatives of the company.

I’ve been to company outings before.  We had to abide by company rules because even though we were off the clock, we were still representing the company.  I used to work for The Official Fuel of NASCAR as a petroleum engineer.  I got free tickets to the Dover International Speedway.  When I went on the company dime, there were rules about what I could do, including how much I could drink and which drivers I could wear apparel supporting.  Can’t wear a t-shirt for a driver sponsored by a competitor.

In my job now, people other than me have a say in what guns and ammo I shoot competitively under certain circumstances.

The person paying sets the rules, I think most people understand that.

The righteous anger tasted too good to the mighty conquering Social Justice Warriors of the Internet.  Facts be damned, virtue had to be signaled so that it could be seen from space.

Travel blogs gave advice how to fight Untied.  Celebrities threatened to pull half-naked stunts on United flights.  Other celebs threatened boycotts or just cursed out United.  People fucking Magazine made this into a human interest piece.

This was a holocaust of the vanities.  A bacchanal orgy of self–righteous preening.

I can’t help but feel sorry for the poor social media person at United, who defended a not-irrational or unusual corporate policy applied under a specific condition, only to be overrun by hordes of unthinking, uncaring, Social Justice activists hell-bent on destruction.

Of course, there is no telling just yet how this will affect United Airline’s financials.  People may yet lose their jobs over this.

Shannon Watts owns it all.

She Tweeted from ignorance.  Condemning something she didn’t have all the information on, that was none of her business, and doing untold damage as a result.

This is her modus operandi laid bare.

This time, it wasn’t a gun company, gun owners, or potential victims of crimes that paid the price.

Maybe soon rational people outside the gun world will see her for what she really is: an instigator of mob-mentality destruction.

I’ve poked the trans issue a little bit, but never did a real post about it.  My wife often acts as my conscience.  She knows people who are trans and is a little bit more “open minded” about trans right.

Then this morning, making my usual rounds through the news, I came across an article that just about hit the nail on the head about all the points I’ve made to my wife, and so decided the time has come to post.

First of all, when it comes to trans people, I don’t hate them.  I don’t consider myself to be transphobic.  I feel nothing but sympathy for them for how hard their life must be living with a mental illness like that.  I know that this is a politically incorrect belief to have, but all the SJW virtue signalling in the universe won’t change some facts.  Among trans people ,the rate of attempted suicide is 41%, this makes it double the rate of suicide attempts among veterans with PTSD.  In fact, the only group in the US that tries to kill themselves as much as trans people are people with schizophrenia.

Trans people also have issues with drug and substance abuse that is three times the rate for non-trans people.  Drug and substance abuse is considered a co-morbidity of metal illness as people tend to “self medicate” with narcotics.  The highest rate of people with HIV is trans people.

The evidence indicates that trans-genderism is still a mental illnes, and the changes made to the DSM V are more political than scientific.  These people need help.

That said, if you want to dress a certain way, cut your hair a certain way, or look a certain way, that’s on you.  You have the freedom to do it.  I don’t care.

The issue is what right do you have to make other people acknowledge your delusion.  If you are a man who thinks you are a woman, and you make your self up to look like a woman, do you have the right to make me agree that you are a women.  I don’t think so.

I have the right to say:

Then you have people like this clearly insane human being who is arguing a man – with a penis – is a woman if he identifies as one, and if (s)he identifies as a lesbian, and other lesbians refuse to have sex with him/her, they are trans-phobic.  Because a woman with a penis is still a woman.

For the most part, this is an academic debate.  What does it matter.

One word: bathrooms.

Progressive companies like Target decided to let trans-people use the bathrooms they identify with.  Obama made the same policy for schools.  North Carolina went the other way, and the NCAA threatened to pull their championship from the state, and California prohibited official travel to states with similar laws.

Yes, I know, trans people need to pee.

But it’s not that simple.

We live in a world where “if you see something, say something.”

Transgender protection laws make us become intentionally stupid.

Incidentally, this is the same thing Liberals do when it comes to saying Islamic terrorism has nothing to do with Islam.

If you are one of the privileged* trans-people that is passing, i.e., other people can’t tell you are trans, and you use the bathroom of the gender you identify as, and nobody notices, and you just do you business and leave… I don’t care, no harm no foul.

*This is just another reason I hat SJWs so much.  Trans-people who pass are more privileged than those who don’t and therefore are slightly less oppressed and that’s problematic.  They can’t help but destroy each other.

But what happens if when a man, that is obviously a man, goes into the ladies room?

When something makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, that is a deep, primordial part of your brain screaming “something’s going to eat me” and puffs you up to make you look bigger towards a predator.  Gut feeling is instinct.  It knows things carried in our DNA from a million years of human evolution that our conscious mind ignores.   Our gut is a much better lie detector than our rational brain.

Women who have been told “if you see something, say something,” “trust your instincts,” and “trust your gut,” to keep themselves safe are suddenly being told, that if they are uncomfortable with an Adam’s apple in a wig in the ladies room, when they are at their most vulnerable, they are transphobic bigots.

They have to suppress every instinct of personal safety to be politically correct.  That can’t be anything but dangerous.

That’s been my argument from the beginning.  If a woman, a real woman, or several women, real women, are uncomfortable about the obvious man in the ladies room, he needs to GTFO.

It’s nothing personal.  These women are listening to their guts and their guts are saying:

So when I found this blog post: A MAN IN THE WOMEN’S RESTROOM AT DISNEYLAND.  It was a woman saying everything I’ve been saying for nearly a year.

I didn’t know if I was going to write this blog or not. A part of me was scared it’d be shared as some transgender hot piece about yet another homophobic mom lashing out at Disney and then I’d have to deal with the wrath of the internet telling me to kill myself. So let me be clear. This isn’t that story. This is a story about a biological man in the women’s restroom, but we need to discuss some gender issues…

I was off to the side waiting with the two boys, when I noticed a man walk into the restroom. My first thought was “Oh shit, he’s walked in the wrong restroom by mistake. lol” He took a few more steps, at which point he would’ve definitely noticed all the women lined up and still kept walking. My next thought was, “Maybe he’s looking for his wife…or child and they’ve been in here a while.” But he didn’t call out any names or look around. He just stood off to the side and leaned up against the wall. At this point I’m like, “WTF? Ok there is definitely a very large, burly man in a Lakers jersey who just walked in here. Am I the only one seeing this?” I surveyed the room and saw roughly 12 women, children in tow, staring at him with the exact same look on their faces. Everyone was visibly uncomfortable. We were all trading looks and motioning our eyes over to him…like “What is he doing in here?” Yet every single one of us was silent. And this is the reason I wrote this blog. 

If this had been 5 years ago, you bet your ass every woman in there would’ve been like, “Ummm what are you doing in here?”, but in 2017? The mood has shifted. We had been culturally bullied into silenced. Women were mid-changing their baby’s diapers on the changing tables and I could see them shifting to block his view. But they remained silent. I stayed silent. We all did. Every woman who exited a stall and immediately zeroed right in on him…said nothing. And why? B/c I and I’m sure all the others were scared of that “what if”. What if I say something and he says he “identifies as a woman” and then I come off as the intolerant asshole at the happiest place on earth? So we all stood there, shifting in our uncomfortableness…trading looks. I saw two women leave the line with their children. Still nothing was said. An older lady said to me out loud, “What is he doing in here?” I’m ashamed to admit I silently shrugged and mouthed, “I don’t know.” She immediately walked out, from a bathroom she had every right to use without fear.

 1,000% yes.  Every woman in that bathroom was afraid of the man, but more afraid of being called a transphobe for being afraid of the man.

If I were there watching a man go into the ladies room after my wife and child, I’d be pondering if I could make a prison shiv out of the wooden stick from my Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bar.  I’ve never killed a man with a Popsicle stick before, but I sure as shit would have ready to try.

Each and every one of us is our own last line of defense.

Creating protected classes of people, where any suspicion of anyone that looks like them is bigotry, makes us more unsafe.

So when you do a peaceful march using the proper imagery to raise support:

But Antifa shows up and pepper sprays the organizer for no reason other than being dicks.

And perpetrates physical violence to other rally goers:

A quick and decisive response is a must:

No pussyfooting:

Wait for the police to take away the trash:

And don’t forget leaving something for the police K9s to play with:

There are videos of the short-lived attack and specially delightful was one of the idjits running away for his life and getting into a highway or something similar.

The same video shows that Antifa needs to thank the many Pro Trump supporters that acted as referees and did not allow the most enthusiastic of the participants to beat the shit out of them.

Other than a couple of people using flagpoles (real one, not tools handles and I saw somebody sporting non-brass knuckles) most of  the counter was done by plain closed fist and some grappling.  It is said that a decided minority can win the battlefield and it is only true if they are not facing a decided majority. In that case they are just going to be punching bags instead of heroes of the Revolution.

You may have seen this video now of a Tulsa PD officer using his patrol car to stop Madison Dickson while she was shooting at the officer.

Most of the first images you will see in sites are from the dash cam video above and showing the gun in her hand. Some are the video itself or other versions that will play and show the whole thing.

But at least one Media Outlet decided not to go with the obvious story and be more “selective” about the  photograph they used:

And that was also for the printed version:

“Police say she was firing a gun” Really? The video shows nothing? No gun in her hand aiming at the patrol car? No sounds of shooting? Love that hint of possible impropriety from the Tulsa PD. Even the frigging New York Daily News, Ultra Lib Publication did not go that way!

But you know, they are journalists. They would never twist the facts for a political or other purpose. Can anybody tell me what kind of beef exist between Tulsa PD and the newspaper?

Thanks to Zack A.

Because they could not do this:

SOCR President Emily Schaller reported a student threatened to beat her up and called her a “f***ing moron.” She overheard multiple other statements of students threatening to beat up the next Republican or conservative they encountered.As a result, many of the few conservative students at St. Olaf have decided to pursue their education away from the Lutheran liberal arts school, according to the Manitou Messenger. Some members transferred after the fall semester. Others are still planning their departure.

Do you remember the traditional excuse for not allowing guns in College campuses?

“Students and faculty members will not be comfortable discussing controversial subjects if they think there might be a gun in the room.”

So what is their definition of comfortable discussion? You know it!
