Somebody may have been thinking of Star Wars when writing the article:

New Boeing aircraft project travels from Brazil to Japan in 3 hours.

According to the company, it would be able to travel more than 6 thousand kilometers per hour, speed equivalent to five times the speed of light.

Don’t fret Brazilian SciFi Fan/Editor, one day Boeing will be able to build us some FTL ships.

Never stop dreaming… but just not on company time.

Whenever the temperatures drop too much…

…houses catch on fire.

We are not sure why this happens. Maybe Al Gore is right and cold weather also creates Global Warming and that is why we have these events.

The good news is that by tomorrow we should be in the 70s again and next week we will more than likely turn on the Air Conditioner.

Stay safe!

So Marion Hammer had the audacity to express her thoughts about the incoming NRA Board election and the Book of faces lost its collective poop again. If you have not seen it, the NRA is  and has been for at least 50 years actually a Gun Control Organization. Others are demanding the immediate cease of existence of the NRA and its Board Members be tried for treason.. or some idiocy like that.

The one that really ranked me was a well-known firearms instructor who had no problem dumping on Ms Hammer. I thought to myself “Is this guy an idiot (as many people have suggested) or did he simply ignores that it is directly because of Marion Hammer and her work in Florida and Concealed carry Laws that he actually gets to traipse the country making money instructing folks on how to shoot when they carry.

If we do not remember our history and have a small amount of respect for those who came before us and put up a LOT of work, we are doomed to lose our guns.

Stop being fashionable, start using your brains.

PS: I forgot the NRA Hater Paradox: They want the NRA to stop collecting money and to go fight in each individual State’s legislature (plus the Fred) against an Opposition that is being funded by a Billionaire and has unlimited free press access, all positive.
The haters will just sit and watch, of course.

With the collapse of the Venezuelan economy and their inability to profit off oil, the government of Venezuela wants to try and save the country with tourism.

I love this idea.

Alright Miguel, let’s pair up on this one. 

We need a bus down there.  I’ll work on recruiting tours of woke, progessive college kids to take them on “ecologically friendly, culturally immersive tours of the socialist paradise of Venezuela.”

They can pick their food out of garbage dumps.  We’ll let criminals rob them of all their first world belongings, we’ll ration toilet paper.   Give them a real socialism experience.

Send them back 10 days later at the end of spring break with nothing but a tropical disease.

Of course we’ll charge their parents $10,000 a head. 

What to you say Miguel?  You in?

In  2014, Luis Bracamontes shot and killed two two Sacramento-area deputies, wounded another one and shot a civilian in the head to boot. He is on trial now and even his defense attorney has said he did what he did.  Mr. Bracamontes is not very remorseful.

He is up for the Death Penalty and I am guessing his lawyer is trying to avoid that and get him Life without Parole.

He needs the get the needle. Sending him to prison is just a vacation for the asshole and not only that, he will be considered a VIP because he offed two cops. He will be high in the prison’s criminal pantheon, to be admired and respected for his past behavior. He will be mentioned as example to be followed by lesser criminals. Dead, he will only feed the worms.

Then again, I would not mind to see him found not guilty and let walk around free in the streets of Sacramento. Oh yes, I forgot: He is an illegal alien with a long record. That is the California Way, right?

Some people didn’t take too kindly to my last post, and the update, about pit bulls.

So I am going to revisit the issue one more time.  This time, with no fucks left.

At this point, I don’t care what the comments are that are left.  You can accuse me of being the evil spawn of Michael Bloomberg and Diane Feinstein, I really don’t give a shit.

In Canada, pit bulls were the cause of the most fatal dog bites.

Same in New Zealand, with data backed up from the New Zealand medical journal.

In the US, 51% of dog bites that required surgery were from pit bulls, rottweilers were the second highest at 9%.

Pit bulls on the loose are a menace to cities.

A pit bull is not like a gun.  A gun is not alive.  An assault rifle just sitting there, untouched will do nothing but rust away.  Pit bulls are alive.  They attack their owners, they get out of yards and attack strangers.  So many of the above stories involve a pit bull or several that got loose.  Assault rifles do not break out of fenced yards and tear off childrens’ arms.

You can tell me other dogs bite.  Sure.  I didn’t find one report of a basset hound hearing off a child’s arm.

You can say I’m stereotyping a breed.  You know what?  When the guy with the beard in a crowded place yells “Allah Akbar” and pulls out a knife, I don’t think he’s there to sell me Cutco.  Past predicts future.

Have I made myself perfectly fucking clear yet?

I don’t trust pit bulls.  At fucking all.

I’m tired of being nice, it’s the breed.  Shitty owners make them worse, but it is definitely the breed.  The owners don’t help as the popular opinion seems to be that pit bull owners are anti-social, trash, and gangsters.

You can tell me that you knew or had the sweetest pit bull ever who would never hurt anybody.  Guess what?  I once saw a leprechaun fucking a unicorn.

So allow me finalize my thoughts.

If I see your pit bull loose, roaming the neighborhood, I am going to shoot it.

If your pit bull gets away from you on its lead and starts heading towards me, or my kids, or my dogs, or anybody else’s kids, I am going to shoot it.

And…

If you try to pick a fight with me because I was forced to shoot your hyper aggressive dog, I have no qualms about shooting you too.

My base line assumption is that a hyper aggressive, violent dog is owned by a hyper aggressive, violent person.

Between your dog and my kids and their limbs, it’s not a choice.  Your dog is going to die.  No benefit of the doubt will be given.

I’ve done a lot of posts about aggressive cops and bad shoots.  Well here is a good one.

Are we clear now?

There is a fine line between bravery and the Emergency Room.
