There is a gigantic mistake the left is making and has to continue to make in order to keep one of its many groups happy: They Must Hate And Bash Cops.

This is an opportunity we cannot allow to go to waste. If w can get at least 50% of police officers firmly in our side (and it does not matter if they make it public or not,) we would successfully disrupt and deny the means to enforce bad law to the Left.

We already have a sizable population of LEOs who are pro-gun, but what we also have is a vocal minority of cop-bashers among our brethren that need to chill-out and be smart about what might be coming down the road.  We need not only people who may do a bad job investigating who owns guns, but also provide information on upcoming raids, who is who in government and can create disruptions amongst the local power structure.

Welcome to the concept of the Fifth Column.

Now, although you may very well have grievances with the way Law Enforcement may or may not be acting in your particular location, I would strongly suggest to postpone them for a day and age when things are much calmer and we can retake the peaceful addressing of our grievances. Right now, you should be preparing for the not-so-peaceful attempts to destroy our Bill of Rights. 

I don’t know if your local LEO agency has something like this, but Miami Dade PD has events called Coffee with a Cop where they go to a local place to shoot the shit with the neighbors. I think this is a great idea, specially if those going to make nice with the LEO are smiling Gun Owners who probably have in common more stuff that we are kind to accept.

It seems we are heading for internal strife. The US has not had a sampling of that since 1865 and the way history has been taught, the Civil War is just some historical event presented in an antiseptic form on TV. For some of us, civil wars and in-country conflicts are more recent, mover vivid and hard to forget about the cost. I want us to have every advantage possible so if we tried and failed every peaceful means, the use of other means is swift and leaves not doubts to the Other Side ” that any man who offers violence to his fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy” as succinctly put by the late Col. Jeff Cooper.  I do believe that our Enemies do not understand the capacity that lies on our side and they will need to be taught fast so the casualties remain at a minimum. Civil Wars make for long-standing grudges that we really do not need as a country. In fact and knowing history, the US stands apart on the peacetime consequences in the aftermath of a civil war.

This is not to say that we abandon peaceful and legal means, just the opposite. We work hard, lobby, vote, donate, write to our legislators, the president, call in, make a pest of ourselves till we are heard. But that does not mean that we are to begin preparations only after all other methods are exhausted.

Who knows? Maybe the Left will eventually get the message that we just want to be left alone and stop fucking around.

The proposed changes to the Florida constitution are out and for you to read. I have barely glanced over them , but “P 6001: Rights of Crime Victims; Judges” had a part that caught my attention:

(3) The right, within the judicial process, to be
51 reasonably protected from the accused and any person acting on
52 behalf of the accused. However, nothing contained herein is
53 intended to create a special relationship between the crime
54 victim and any law enforcement agency or office absent a special
55 relationship or duty as defined by Florida law.

If the text is somewhat familiar, you may have read about a familiar case decided by SCOTUS: Castle Rock v. Gonzalez.

Yup, No Duty To Protect.

And no, no attempts to eliminate the Right of Floridians to keep and Bear Arms. That got shot down quickly.

BREAKING: Starbucks to close all company-owned stores in U.S. on afternoon of May 29 to conduct racial-bias education pic.twitter.com/JmyNzEdTgq

— Reuters Business (@ReutersBiz) April 17, 2018

Holy shit.

First is the loss in revenue from a corporate shut down. 

Then add in the number of Starbucks employees who quit because of this.  Every “bias training” syllabus I’ve looked at online can be summed up with “check your privilege you terrible, racist white person.”

Some Starbucks employees may stand for that but I sure as shit wouldn’t tolerant having my employer call me a racist because I’m white. 

So Starbucks is going to close during normal business hours to torture it’s employees for social justice credibility.

Second:

Dick’s Sporting Goods to destroy all unsold firearms pulled from shelves after Parkland shooting.

I don’t want to know how much value in inventory that is.

Sure the manufacturers are happy the product wasn’t returned since they are still getting paid, but Dick’s is literally talking a chop saw to corporate money.

Not to mention how many more customers are going to be driving away from a comp being that political.

This is nothing but virtue signaling of the most expensive kind.

Have either of these companies’ executive teams heard the phrase “fiduciary duty” before?

Are they aware they have a legal responsibility to thier share holders not to deliberately make money losing decisions?

I wonder how woke management must be to come up with a plan that will alienate half thier customers, drive away good employees, destroy inventory, and lose revenue and still go through with it?

What share holders need to do is start suing these managers.  Maybe when the CEOs are  forced to empty their bank accounts to pay damages to the investors they will learn virtue signaling is bad corporate policy.

WASHINGTON — By the 2020 presidential election, 16 and 17-year-olds may be able to vote in the nation’s capital.
Washington, D.C. may lower the voting age for federal and local elections to 16. The legislation was introduced last Tuesday by D.C. council member Charles Allen (D-Ward 6), who said he was inspired by the high schoolers that came to D.C. to protest at the March for our lives.
Advocates of the measure say they have the support of seven of 13, a majority of D.C. Council members.

Washington, D.C., may allow 16-year-olds to vote for president in the 2020 election.

Beside the fact that the thought of “detergent ingesters” who have not yet mastered the intricacies of onanism,  voting on crap they still don’t know shit about, the chances for massive fraud are high. Remember, we are talking about kids who have zero doubt about their cause and do believe the end justify the means.

From the District of Columbia Board of Elections.

How many of you get online bills? How many of you can figure out rather fast how to add another name to a bill?

Yup, no chance of fraud there, baby.

To avoid unnecessary holes.

For some reason, the video won’t embed so here is the link to the original,

I saw this picture floating around the internet.

I have to disagree with it.

Sure, there are a lot of worthless majors out there, but whatever Zack may or may not have chosen to blow his student loans on, none of that justifies having a bull horn in his face in a coffee shop.

Two men were arrested at Starbucks.  Why?  Because the police were called and when the police are called, people end up in handcuffs.

Why were the cops called?  The manager asked them to leave and they didn’t, and it’s policy that managers and employees let the cops handle stuff like that.

Why were they asked to leave?  Because they were taking up a table and asked to use the bathroom without buying anything in a business.

So two men lacked the common courtesy to buy a cup of coffee before taking a piss and using a table and now poor Zack – who had nothing to do with any of that – is being subject to abuse.

He didn’t sign up for that.  Nowhere did “be able to withstand a bullhorn to the face” come up as a job description.

So I was originally going to be snarky about this and was preparing a joke.  During the joke development stage I came across this article “Hey, White People: Michael Douglas Is the Villain, Not the Victim, in Falling Down.”

Falling down is a great movie.  One reason is that you feel empathy for the villain.  He didn’t start out wanting to cause havoc.  Havoc found him.  He was mugged, beaten up, shot at in a drive by, and all around abused by a callous and uncaring system.  All he wanted was to have breakfast and go home and LA wouldn’t let him.

Twenty five years later, Michael Douglas in Falling Down is how Trump got elected.  They just voted instead of pulling a machine gun.

Zack probably just wants to make some coffee, clean his machine, and go home and these protesters are making that impossible.

I see poor Zack here and wonder how many more days of protests will he have to endure?  If he quits, who will hire him now that he’s internet famous for being associated with Starbucks?  Why isn’t Starbucks protecting their employees from abuse?  Is he day dreaming about shooting Mr. Bullhorn in the face with a MAC-10, and is that why his eyes look glazed over in that picture?

This is the kind of shit that not just got Trump but got neo-Nazis marching in the streets.

Two men lack the common courtesy buy a coffee before asking to take a piss and now some professional victicrat activist is going to blow the ear drums out of some $10/hour barista because of his white privilege.  If some “blood and soil” motherfucker showed up to knock Mr. Bullhorn’s teeth in with bat, I’m sure Zack wouldn’t be to terribly upset by that.  I know after that I wouldn’t.

For the lack of wanting to spent $4 on a latte, lives are being ruined.  You think that manger who called the police and got fired is going to find again right now?

That’s why this shit is so god damned dangerous.  If not this specific incident, this type of mentality is spiraling out of control.

The text of the Second Amendment goes like this:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Some politicians see that and think it means that only the military can have guns.  Even though the Constitution gives the Congress the ability to “raise and support Armies” in Article 1, Section 8.  Somehow the “right of the people” part is overlooked and ignored.

The words are plain to see, but for some reason people’s reading comprehension is really bad.

The text of the First Amendment goes like this:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Well, in the wake of a viral video about Sinclair broadcasting these same politicians with their reading comprehension issues looked at the First Amendemnt and couldn’t see the part about “abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.“  That blurred out just as much as the “right of the people to keep and bear arms.”

Maria Cantwell, Tom Udall, Patty Murray, Elizabeth Warren, Ron Wyden, Ed Markey, Richard Blumenthal, Tina Smith, Bernie Sanders, Jeff Merkley, Tammy Baldwin, and Cory Booker, all US Senators wrote a letter to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, demanding an investigation into Sinclair Brodacasting Group and possibly pulling their FCC rights.

If you want to ban scary looking guns, why wouldn’t you want to ban scary sound bites?

No right is safe from people like this.
