A new Ebola epidemic has been declared in the Democratic Republic of Congo after the deaths of three people thought to be linked to the virus.

The country’s health ministry confirmed one person has tested positive for the virus.

The World Health Organisation confirmed that the DR Congo had informed them of a lab-confirmed case of the disease.

Ebola: Three people killed in Democratic Republic of Congo as new epidemic declared by WHO.

I know, nobody gives a shit….Old fake news same as Bird flu:

“The disease was first identified in 1976.
The largest outbreak has been the recent epidemic in West Africa from December 2013 to January 2016 which killed more than 11,000 people.
In 2014, a three-month outbreak of Ebola in the DR Congo killed 49 people.”

I just wanted to add a bit of perspective: From 1976 till 2013 there were 1,948 deaths Ebola or 40 per year in average. From 2014 till 2016 the number jumped to 11,080 for 2,750 deaths per year. And that is with the medical advancements we have including epidemiology protocols.

I have the feeling that crap gets out of Africa in half assed numbers and we get to face up the 21st Century version of the Black Plague.

Again we are seeing two conflicting set of rules being played: Our side believe in the discussion of all ideas and to battle in the arena of civil arguments. The other side wants to shut down anybody that expresses an idea they deem offensive and they are more than willing to use force to do so.

So what happens when our side decides: “Fine, we will play it your way. We will shut down anybody who is spouting ideas we don’t like by any means necessary.”

And our means may come with a 1 MOA or better.

Those of you doubting about the location & vacation of J.Kb. I bring you the proof.

He sent me this postcard:

There you go, don’t doubt me again!

PS This post is absolutely truthful…. give or take a lie or two. 😀

“Staff who worked for Shannon quit or are fired faster than the organization can replace them. She’s a nightmare,” the source told TheDC. Another source close to the organization said in a written statement, “Two beliefs unite nearly all gun control supporters: background checks save lives, and Shannon Watts is a self-promoting tyrant.”

I am afraid that I am enjoying the whole article just because confirmation bias. Go read it.

I have noticed some changes within the organization but the access to internal information on a vacuous astroturf  group is not easy. I know that the Moms chapter in Florida is now being run by Michelle Gajda out of Tampa and some other laces have seen changes in leadership, but I did not know that there was that level of disgust within the organization.

I highlighted the “self-promoting tyrant” part because it fits with I have been thinking regarding Shannon becoming Hillary 2.0 and seeking higher office.  Effective lobbyists stay away from the running of political office. You may get one foot in, but rarely go farther up the chain, specially if you gained entrance via Gun Control as parties demand you properly get your ticked punched and asses kissed in order to raise up the ladder.

I don’t see Shannon waiting to do all the right steps within the Democratic party. She will want to bulldozer her way in and it may take her only so far before somebody torches the bulldozer from inside.  This spells good for us and Moms is her creation and will probably collapse (even more) without her attention.  Everytown is associated deeply with Michael Bloomberg whose name is pretty much poison past the Holland Tunnel and Mayors Against Illegal Guns has become a joke.

Again, take the report with a huge grain of salt, but enjoy it nevertheless.

Hat tip John R.

Former Congresswoman Corrine Brown (D-FL) was convicted of 18 counts of fraud and tax evasion.  For this she faces over 300 years in prison and $4.8 Million in fines.  She stole money from a charity she ran, among other things.

It’s a good start.

One down, 535 more to go.

I think J.Kb. is somewhere in Dubai playing the casinos and consorting with vixen women while taking a break from work.  Myself I had the pleasure of trying to get an MRI today and I swear to little angels that some in the medical industry test my patience.

I should have known this place was going to be an issue when the called me 24 hours before and said they did not have authorization from the specialist to charge the insurance. Never heard that before, but I am not all-knowing about medical billing so I call the insurance company about it: They never heard of that either. In fact they said the only thing I had to do was to show up to the location with ID and the insurance card. I called the MRI facility again and they insisted the specialist had to do it so I gave him a call and, of course, they don’t know wtf is the MRI facility talking about but they would give them a call anyway.

This morning, I call the MRI facility to confirm the appointment is still good and no problems with the insurance. All OK sir! Come on over!.. and I did 15 minutes before my scheduled appointment to fill any paperwork.  ID and insurance car presented, A-OK and asked me to sit and wait. About an hour later the front office lady comes with hair on fire complaining that the labs required for the MRI were never sent by the doctors! I happened to have a copy of them in my phone and asked her if they will do. She blinked hard and she said “I guess”. I sent he a copy, printed it and she rushed to the back to show the tech who gave approval. “You can sit now sir. It won’t be long.”

Two hours later and after finishing 2 podcasts (Downrange Radio and Pro Arms Podcast) I decided that I must be a wee bit less nice. I complained, very politely, to the office people who three hours was too much and they promised me that I was going to be the next one in about 10 minutes…and I was finally called.

Now folks, I am a man of wide berth, chunky, fat, whatever. And I tell you, I don’t camouflage well, you can see it. Buy somehow the personnel at the location did not figure out that they old crappy machines (including an “open MRI”) could not deal with my awesomeness and fullness. I had enough, I was starving and thirsty, my back was murdering me and my good nature dropped immediately. Apparently I went from “Happy Santa” face to what my wife calls “I practice cannibalism for fun and profit. Ask me how.” and I told the tech (in a very polite and calm voice) and admins that I was cancelling the MRI, that the place was an administrative disaster and that it was my hope that they would not dare to bill anybody for this clusterfuck.

By the time I got home, by back was screaming for the removal of the spinal cord or at least a couple of Motrin (I don’t do the hard shit. I hate being under the influence) and a long rest on the recliner. Tomorrow I’ll find another place and hope they are not as fucked up as this people. How fucked up? When I was leaving, I found out that another lady in the waiting room who had to be at least on the big side of 80 had been waiting 40 minutes before my arrival and was still not taken care of: They simply misplaced her paperwork. The poor woman had been there, no food, no water for four hours.

Mother F…..

Sorry for venting. I’ll post something regular later or tomorrow.
