4:00 p.m. – Until Further Notice.

OK, I understand that there is danger out there, but apparently Democrats will love to exercise power even when unwarranted. Most People are not stupid to go out and party with debris around, but at the same time, the moment it passes, they will want to come out of the house after being cooped for so long under stress.

Then again a Democrat Mayor in a Blue county and the seat of Rep. Debby Wasserman Schulz, what do you expect?

Broward County: 4:00 p.m. – Until Further Notice
Coral Springs: 8:00 p.m. – 6:00 a.m.
City of Fort Lauderdale: 4:00 p.m. – Until Further Notice
City of Deerfield Beach: 4:00 p.m. – Until Further Notice
Town of Hillsboro Beach: 4:00 p.m – Until Further Notice

The last two places are in Miami Dade County. And I have not heard of any other towns or the county itself imposing a curfew.

The tape is just to see the sustained winds in action. This gust I figure should be about 40-45 mph. And this is a baby, add 30 mph more and you have barely a Category one. 185 mph as initially expected? I can wrap my head around it.

Right now, we have probably a 15-20 mph sustained wind. It is supposed to reach sustained winds of 52 mph for tomorrow noon with gusts of 70. But as I have been saying, until that sucker’s eye is not past Latitude 27, I won’t feel somewhat safe.

It is funny. We have done all that we can to be ready for Irma and we are still going through the “What are we missing?’ part of the equation which will be followed up with the “Screw it, nothing else we can do right now.

The new track is showing Irma shifting west which means we won’t get hit hard, but now good people in the West Coast of Florida are under the threat of 155 mph sustained winds.

BUT… I am not trusting a guesstimate. This type of events play Marco Polo with forecasters and until I don’t see that the eye has passed 26 degree latitude.

Everybody, stay safe.

Doing the final preps for Hurricane Irma.

Me: “Honey, I am going out for a second.”
Her: “You sure? It is not warm and fuzzy out there.”
Me: “I know. Any words of encouragement for your hubby?”
Her: “Shooter. Do you understand the Course of Fire?”

She is a wise ass… beautiful one to boot.

Shortly after the dust-up in Charlottesville, I saw a quasi-viral tweet that attempted to sum up the progressive stance on the situation.

The point, was of course, to mock the people who agreed with the “violence on both sides” position taken by Trump and others.

I have touched on this subject before, but in the last few days some news has brought me back to this tweet.

I think I’m going to have to give my own take on it.

Nazis: Let’s get rid of the Jews.  

Yeah, that is pretty much unchanged.

Now Antifa.

Antifa: Jews are Fascists.  Let’s throw the Jews off of the U Illinois campus.

How about #BLM?

Black Lives Matter: We stand in solidarity with Palestinian Terrorists, and spread lies about Israel and the Jews.

  That leaves the Centrists.

Centrists: When it comes to their opinion on the Jews, I literally cannot tell these apart.   

The truth about these people is becoming more clear every day.

I think I can simplify this even further

Nazis: White identitarian, Jew hating socialists.

Antifa: Progressive identity politics, Jew hating socialists.

BLM: Black identitarian, Jew hating socialists.

It’s a diversity of Nazis.

Kevin Willmott is a professor of film studies at the University of Kansas.  He has decided to jump on the anti-campus carry grandstand act by wearing a bulletproof vest to his class.

This stunt wasn’t that effective when another professor did it in Texas, but when was the last time you heard of a Left leaning academic having an original idea?

Willmott is also a co-writer of the movie Chi-Raq, in which the black women of Chicago take on gun violence by not having sex with their boyfriends (because ripping off Aristophanes is an original thought too); so you know he’s serious about the gun crime issue.

Willmott makes two points that shows that he clearly has no idea what he is talking about.

One: that young people shouldn’t be around guns.  Except, like in every other state, concealed carry is legal only for people 21 and older.  The idea of the booze-hound freshman with a carry piece is strawman.

Two: college campuses are some sort of special place where the rules of larger society don’t belong.  This idea is becoming more and more odious.  In Maryland, a member of Congress wants to write a bill for colleges to define what sort of speech is “hate speech” and shouldn’t be allowed.

Willmott and academics like him are an embarrassment.  They act as though colleges and universities are the tiny fiefdoms that they are the kings of.  They know little to nothing of the non academic world and certainly don’t want the realities of the non academic world penetrating into their safe space.

After the divestment and cuts we’ve seen at places like Mizzou and Evergreen State, the biggest threat to a guy like Willmott is not some legal CCW permit holder.  It is his own stupid mouth showing potential students and their parents that it’s not worth sending their kids to KU because the professors there are out of touch idiots.
