Moms Demand Action has ratcheted up the anti-suppressor rhetoric.

Except they are wrong about the background check issue, as the proposed law would make suppressors subject to a 4473 NICS check, just not an NFA tax stamp.

Of course, being a far Leftist organization, it’s not just guns that are the problem, it is profit.  Why allow gun companies to make profit?  That’s twice as evil.

The worst argument against suppressors is that it will prevent ShotSpotter systems from working.

ShotSpotter doesn’t work, and cities like Charlotte and Miami have spent huge sums of money on a system that “doesn’t work.”  When it was tried in the UK, it recorded over 1,600 false positives.  According to ShotSpotter, Birmingham, UK had more shootings than Chicago in a month.

This is the single dumbest argument against suppressors I can think of.  So, of course, Moms is going to run with it.  With any luck, the validity of the ShotSpotter system will come into question and all the data that the antis use that comes from that will go out the window too.

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma have done an enormous amount of damage to Texas and Florida.

For those on the far end of the political Left, what to do about this is simple: round people up and put them in concentration camps.

The great past time of The Left is persecution and mass murder.  That is what they really excel at.  For them, there is no problem that can’t be solved by just putting the right group of people in a prison camp or mass grave.

The Science is Settled™ and Harvey and Irma were the result of global warming man made climate change.  The people who doubt that must be punished.

Operate a blog questioning the validity of climate change claims and The Left thinks your children should be burned alive.

For the Leftist propagandists at The Nation, Climate Denial™ is murder.

Many other experts have issued warnings, starting with NASA scientist James Hansen’s landmark 1988 Senate testimony that global warming had begun and, if left unchecked, would threaten the future of human civilization. Recent years have also brought abundant evidence that shifting to wind power, less meat-heavy diets, and other climate-friendly alternatives would result in lasting economic and health benefits: more jobs, less inequality, cleaner air, stronger communities…

With Hurricane Irma churning toward Florida, the horrors and heartbreaks will only get worse until we change the game for their perpetrators. The first step toward justice is to call things by their true names. Murder is murder, whether the murderers admit it or not. Punish it as such, or we encourage more of the same.  

The logic here is, that if we ate just a fewer steaks and didn’t buy as many SUVs starting in 1989, Houston would not have flooded in 2017.  Of course there is no way to know that.  But it’s not about science but Science™ and Science™ says that the people who ate steak and drove V8’s after 1988 committed murder in Houston and should be punished for it.

The people who do not believe in Science™ should be forced onto a government registry so they can be dealt with in an appropriate manner.

Of course, not believing in the climate diktat should be a crime and people should be jailed and shamed for it.

This is really, truly, all The Left knows how to do.  Disagree with their stance on an issue and it is off to the gulag with you.

They murdered 100 million people in the 20th century over income inequity.  How many people do they feel they need to murder over climate change?

My only question for them is this:

When the Nazis exterminated 6 million Jews and 5 million other dissidents and undesirables, they did it with cyanide and crematoriums.  Cyanide is environmentally toxic and cremating millions of people would create a hell of a carbon footprint.  Just how do they indent to bring about the final solution to the global warming question in an eco friendly way?

Caught this in the news. A family owned Supermarket in Miami Beach that got looted out of the usual items: Booze, smokes & Lottery tickets.

Using wood materials for hurricane boards is a wasteful investment in South Florida. By the time the next event comes around, your wood will more likely be eaten away by humidity and other factors. Metal panels can be expensive, but you pretty much can toss them in a corner of your property and forget about them till you need to use them.

But in this case, the covering in the video is not even worth the time used to install it as it is some thin (probably 1/8 inch) hardboard that it does not even look like it would protect a box of shoes much less debris sent flying around by a hurricane.

Looters are a fact of life in a post hurricane location. Metal hurricane shutters not only give better protection from Unwanted Flying Objects but will put up a bigger resistance against breaking in than flimsy paneling.

Some savings simply are not worth it and at least in Florida, your investment approved hurricane panels/shutters will somewhat be offset by the savings on the insurance as my lovely wife just reminded me. Depending on your coverage and type of protection, you will pay off your investment in ass little as a year.

And don’t forget that hurricane panels are the best way to make your home Zombie-Proof. Same for an out-opening metal door.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray announced his resignation Tuesday, hours after new sexual abuse allegations surfaced against the embattled politician. Murray, a Democrat and the city’s first openly gay mayor, said he was resigning effective 5 p.m. Wednesday so the scandal would no longer overshadow his office. The mayor’s announcement comes after his cousin gave an interview with the Seattle Times alleging abuse, the latest in a series of similar accusations. The cousin is the fifth person to publicly accuse Murray of child sexual abuse since a lawsuit was filed against him in April.

And the answer to your question is: YES! He is a member of Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns, but allegedly sexually abusing your underage cousin apparently is OK.

But we are the ones that need to go to concentration camps.

Major intersection without working traffic lights. Officers of the Miami Dade Police Department doing traffic control.

It is one thirty in the PM and the official temperature is 95 degrees. In that intersection? Easy past 100 degrees and what you do not see in there is the canal that runs parallel to the tree line and the road. Now you can imagine the humidity.

And I figure they have several more days if not weeks of extra duty till we get back to normal.

Never confuse the White Shirts on top with the Rank and File that actually walks the streets as they are two different set on creatures.
