I bet the headline raised your blood pressure a bit. Don’t worry, I am not advocating to go back to Jim Crow times…. but Progressives apparently have no issues and in fact are considering denying vote to White People.
Apparently Whites screw up the Revolution during elections time.

Some of the biggest blows to the progressive cause in the past year have often been due to the votes of white men. If white men were not allowed to vote, it is unlikely that the United Kingdom would be leaving the European Union, it is unlikely that Donald Trump would now be the President of the United States, and it is unlikely that the Democratic Alliance would now be governing four of South Africa’s biggest cities. If white men no longer had the vote, the progressive cause would be strengthened. It would not be necessary to deny white men indefinitely – the denial of the vote to white men for 20 years (just less than a generation) would go some way to seeing a decline in the influence of reactionary and neo-liberal ideology in the world. The influence of reckless white males were one of the primary reasons that led to the Great Recession which began in 2008. This would also strike a blow against toxic white masculinity, one that is long needed.

I am gonna quote a buddy of mine in Facebook who also gets the Hat Tip:

“If you deny me the ballot box, I will regrettably be forced to vote using the cartridge box.
Please don’t paint me ( and the many like me ) into this corner. I don’t want to be there, and I PROMISE you, you don’t want me there either.”
Sal F.

Not for nothing, but I may need to step up the buying of more ammo and that bolt-action rifle I’ve been wanting.

Dear Shelley, that kind of stupid ain’t bulletproof.

If you are a survivor of the Nuptial Wars, you understand how difficult it can be to deal with a wife and life with a wife in general. It has been said by people smarter than me that women suffer a major change in the chemistry of the brain after the man says “I do” in which her thinking and processing becomes more sharp and less forgiving.  For example, that Harley you are so fond about and that she enjoyed riding while hugging you tight is no longer an acceptable means of transportation and carefully bookmarked magazines showing pictures of minivans or “squees” of delights when a commercial for a Subaru crossover plays on TV are suddenly the norm around the house.

The other great change is inside decoration. The deer head with the reclaimed road sign blinker and the liquor neon sign stolen during a collegiate vacation in Panama Beach, Florida are no longer acceptable items of decor. Same goes for any concert posters unless they are what she deems classics and are encased in a very expensive framing with a cute little light illuminating them. Much to your amazement, you will come to hate Home Depot with emphasis in the paint department. Unbeknownst to you, Peach is not only a color, but there are some 46 variations of it according to the charts only be topped by Off-White and its  83 shades.  After the third hour, you are ready to place your tie your head to the paint shaker and click that sucker to ‘Hi.’ But don’t worry, you won’t lose your love for the home improvement  locale, you just learn to lie, tell your wife you are going to play poker with the guys, but instead go to the store  and then just wander alone around the power tools aisle with other married men admiring the latest offerings from Makita and Porter Cable. (Word of experienced advice: Don’t buy new shit unless you can hide it from her really good. They get miffed if they find out you were there without their permission.)

Outside Decor is even a bigger surprise: Did you know that the word “bed” is not only applied to that horizontal piece of furniture where sex, TV watching and sleep is achieved? Apparently there is such thing as “flower bed” but may God forgive your immortal soul if you happen to lie a top of it after your missus is done planting it. I also find out that giggling like a 12-year-old in front of your neighbors  when your wife says “trim the bush” is not only counterproductive to marital bliss in the bedroom but gains you a long look of disgust from her reserved only for shoe salesmen that dare not to have her favorite new favorite pair in her size.

And the lawn thing? I discovered that the multi-billion dollar Lawn Care business is not driven by the manly desire of compete with your neighbor Frank, no siree! It is plain survivor of the fittest and avoidance of constant nagging. “How come the neighbor’s lawn looks better than ours? Do something!! Fix it! No, we don’t need professionals, Mr. “I-can-do-it-myself.” So you go out and start spending your gun and beer money on Weed & Feed chemicals and ultra performance lawnmowers while mortgaging your soul in a high-tech sprinkler system that will not only water with an efficiency recommended by the Sierra Club but also detect most lawn pests and shoot lasers at them.

Oh shit, I think I hear he coming… to be continued.

PS: The spell checker wanted to change “Marital” for “martial”… that also gives you pause, doesn’t it?

This one appears to be a “good shooting” including the reaction of the defender:

Philorius Joseph, 32, told police he shot Evan Herring, 28, in self-defense during after a fight in the Clipper Cove apartment complex at about 6:30 p.m. Monday. Officers were called to the apartment complex on Southern Cross Circle, just west of South Congress Boulevard and north of Woolbright Road, where they found Herring deceased.
Joseph remained on scene and immediately surrendered to arriving officers, even though witnesses on scene had encouraged him to run, Slater said.

Just that last item helped Mr. Joseph establish a case for Self Defense. I want to touch on this next part of the article:

“Joseph explained to investigators he had just taken the mother of his children to her mother’s apartment at Clipper Cove, when Herring, who also has a child with her, confronted them.

Sometimes you cannot avoid an attack and you are not a ninja capable to attack armies with your empty hand skills.  Being a good guy, legally carrying a weapon made it for a good outcome in this case.  Still it does come with a price to pay: How do you explain to the brother of your kids that you were forced to shot and kill his daddy?

We don’t “win” these confrontations but just survive them as somebody smart once said.

I am checking the emails for the tourniquet raffle and I have to say I am amazed at the amount of smartasses that read the blog. 🙂

The good news is the majority of entries come from people that at least sound sane in writing.

And to all of you, thank you for reading the blog.

I cannot imagine that somebody in the chain of production did not stop for a second and thought “You know? Maybe this is not a good visual for the department. Perhaps we should rethink the masked man stuff.”

Yup, not thought out well at all.

But this is a question of business practices, not rights. A restaurant can theoretically use force to remove me from a table in the middle of a meal if a higher-paying customer demands my table. If they do, then I can decide never to eat there again, and to publicize the incident so that others may decide not to eat there as well…

Ultimately, the Company s not owned by the CEO (who came out defending what happened) or the managers who screwed up the on the ground situation, the company belongs to the investors and many of them Mom And Pop and Grandma and Grandpa with retirement accounts and 401Ks who had their monies tied in a company that took a hit of over  $600,000,000 That is 100 million over half a billion)  in loses for wanting of a plane seat.

I reckon the beatings should be directed to somebody else in Corporate.

UPDATE: Fortune is now saying that the stock has dropped $1.4 billion.  I think the investors are past the beat & drag the CEO stage and must be thinking about Draw & Quarter.

Hughes Amendment Syndrome:  If they can sneak something to screw your rights, they will.

The Rhode Island chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, held their third annual lobby day last Wednesday to speak to their representatives and senators about The Protect Rhode Island Families Act, which would keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers.

Mobilizing to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers at the State House

Nobody wants wife beaters to have guns, that  is understandable, but when they are being sneaky and try to shove a finger where the sun does not shine, you realize they are being dishonest to the hilt. See this “correction” to the actual law they are trying to pass:

The way I read it is this: Do you remember that spring break some decades ago where you got in an argument with somebody, chest bumped him, called each other names, and then got arrested by the cops? The judge allowed you to plea to a misdemeanor Assault, a fine with time served and let you go? Guess what? Under this bill you are now are a criminal as bad as John Wayne Gacy or Charles Mason and also you are now a Prohibited Person.

And yes, some states have provision for people convicted of misdemeanor violence crimes to clear themselves of the past stupidities like in Florida when it comes to getting CWP.

“If you have been convicted or found guilty of a misdemeanor crime of violence, you are not eligible for a Concealed Weapon or Firearm License unless a period of three years has elapsed since probation or any other conditions set by the court have been fulfilled, or the record has been sealed or expunged.  A copy of the document issued by the court or probation office evidencing completion of probation or other conditions must be submitted with your application.”

I simply do not see this in the Rhode Island bill. That dumb incident in Spring Break, nobody hurt, no fists thrown is now akin to you had beaten somebody with a baseball bat and left him bloody and ready for the crabs.  For all gun intents and purposes, you are now a felon. It will take a good legal mind if this has any consequences outside R.I.

Never trust the interpretation of a Journo or a political website: ALWAYS READ THE BILL.

(And yes, that includes mine. I’ve been known to be mistaken. My wife says so…every day.)
