Month: May 2018

If you are not preparing for the incoming shitstorm, maybe you should.

First the School Shooting in  Santa Fe, Texas and then this idiot shooting at workers in the Trump hotel hre in South Florida.

 A gunman who fired shots to bring police to the Trump National Doral golf course and resort early Friday was disabled by five officers who shot him in his legs, a police chief said.
The resort is in northwest Miami-Dade County. It is owned by President Donald Trump’s privately held company; he was not on the premises during the 1:30 a.m. incident.
Arrested was Jonathan Oddi, 42, a Doral resident who was hospitalized in stable condition. The only other reported injury was to a Doral police officer who broke his wrist.
A police chief said officers were called after Oddi pointed a handgun at staff and began firing.

Doral resident shouting ‘anti Trump’ rhetoric shot in police firefight at Trump National Resort

We are in the slippery slope and gaining speed.

The damn NRA insurectionists

So an NRA member went into the DNC offices, enraged at support for Hispanics and Muslim refugees, and shot up the place.

Wait, you didn’t hear about that on the news?

That’s because what really happened was Man yelling ‘anti-Trump’ rhetoric opens fire at President’s Miami-area golf resort.

The man who opened fire early Friday at the Trump National Doral Golf Club had been yelling “anti-Trump … rhetoric” there, Miami-Dade police Director Juan Perez said.

The suspect was identified as Jonathan Oddi, 42, of Doral, Florida. Oddi is in stable condition after police shot him in an exchange of gunfire, Perez said. A Doral police officer suffered broken bones but was not shot, the official said.

The gunman took a [American] flag from a pole in the rear of the complex, brought it into the hotel lobby, draped it over a counter, yelled rhetoric against President Donald Trump and fired a gun into the air — at the roof and chandeliers, Perez said.

He then “waited for officers to engage him,” Perez said.  Perez said the man’s immediate motive seemed to be to lure police into a gunfight.

The Miami Herald asked the question Who is Jonathan Oddi, the man shot after ranting and firing shots at Trump National Doral?

On social media, Oddi lists himself as a fitness instructor, real-estate investor and manager at Pegasus, a business dealing in minerals and gemstones. Oddi lived a few miles away at a rental complex, 8100 NW 53rd St. Born in South Africa, Oddi became a U.S. citizen in August.

Uh oh, he’s an immigrant? From where?  Anybody?

His online public postings provide few clues, but offer mixed political leanings.

Shit, that means they can’t prove he’s a dyed in the wool Right Wing Republican.

In an Instagram post, he posted a meme from Turning Point USA, a right-wing conservative group. The meme contrasts a U.S. soldier with NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who famously knelt during the national anthem to protest police brutality.

“colín worries he doesn’t have a nfl career and kneels for popularity,” Oddi wrote in his Oct. 26 Instagram post.

That’s not an analysis of the player, that’s some damn white supremacy – by media standards.

He fawns over First Lady Melania Trump: “#flotus rocks! She sets the example of mannerism. She counters Trumps aggressiveness,” he wrote in one post showing Melania Trump smiling in the White House.

He hates the Don but likes his wife.  If he were a True Believer, he’d hate her too by association.

And in another post, Oddi blasts the United States for “giving $10.4 million every day” to Israel. “They have free healthcare and college. but we don’t because we can’t afford it!”

He’s an Antisemite.

Longtime friend Luis David Gonzalez was on his way to Oddi’s home with eggs and coffee when he learned of the shooting. He and Oddi worked out together every day at the LA Fitness in Doral. Gonzalez said Oddi is a dancer, possibly a stripper, and has a small dog named Popo.

Male exotic dancer, that’s a typical job for a Conservative, right up there with farmer and coal miner.

Information is still coming out, but you have to look for it.

We still don’t have a motive, but don’t worry.  Somehow the NRA will get the blame for this, because… we always do.  We’re insurrectionists and whether its a Bernie Bro shooting at the GOP playing baseball, a Clinton supporting sheriff dropping the ball on a shooting, or someone shooting up a Trump property, it’s always our fault.

 

School Shooting in Santa Fe, Texas. UPDATE

Info still coming in. Allegedly one shooter with a shotgun and several casualties.

NRA will be blamed, shooter will not be blamed. Schools will not be hardened against the crap. Future school shooters will be encouraged by the lack of real solutions and proceed to do their own shootings.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Update: At least 8 dead. Explosive devices found on and off campus. One culprit arrested, one Person of Interest arrested.

It seems whomever was behind this was following the Columbine Plan.

Getting the CLAP box in Venezuela

CLAP or Comités Locales de Abastecimiento y Producción (Local Committees of Supply and Production) is supposed to be local civilian groups that provide a box with a minimum supply of food for a family,  an emergency government gift to the people of Venezuela due to the lack of stable foodstuff availability because the Evil Empire is sabotaging the means of producing local food or some imaginary shit like that.

Notice the images of President Maduro on the left and Hugo Chavez on the right.

I can’t find for sure what’s the frequency of distribution nor how many people are supposed to eat out of the contents and for how long because simply nobody knows for sure. The program is so riddle with incompetence and corruption that several containers with up to 400 metric tons of the stuff were smuggled into Colombia and found yesterday by the police.

“What’s in the box?” I am glad you asked. There is no basic guideline and it is subject to what the government can find through its minions who depend on third parties with an eye for profit to get them from outside the country. Here is one of the many list of contents of a CLAP box.

Pasta, rice, flour (wheat or corn), spam-equivalent, tuna, powdered milk, cooking oil, mayo, black beans, cracked dry peas, sugar and ketchup. The total weight according to that list is around 8.5 kilograms or 18.7 pounds, which is funny because when it came out, it was supposed to be a total of 20 kilos of food per box according to the government. They are no longer making those claims, I wonder why

Following the tradition of other Socialist countries, the official food ration is not only small but crappy and hard to find forcing people to wait in line for hours for a chance to get a box.

 

Plus the system is so messed up and so corrupt that sometimes they don’t even have the boxes:

And the packages sometimes get detoured to re-sellers who will offer the individual items in the black market or even in the street in makeshift stands.

 

Don’t forget: This is a top-down, government-controlled and military-secured operation.  The only way that the food ends up in the black market (and a lot of it) is that there is a widespread corruption through the system.

This is the system that Bernie Sander, Michael Moore, Sean Penn, Danny Glover and other idiots applauded and still support. This is what they want our country to go.

Screw them.

It’s the little things

I’m a gym rat.  I go three to four times a week.  That said, I’m not in any sort of “shape” by gym rat standards.

It’s my 30 minute vacation.  It’s me an my earbuds, some good music and the weights burning off stress.

I work out at the Y.  I prefer the more laid back atmosphere there to the mead head culture of chain gyms.

Every once in a while, the gym is invaded by a group of teenagers with their varsity sports shirts doing as much jaw-jacking and time wasting as actual working out.  The problem is that they like to take up space on the equipment and waste my time as well.

So a bunch of them are hanging out by the multi cable machine.

There is nothing like walking right into the middle of the group, weight belt barely holding in the gut on my 280 lbs frame, a patch of gray in my beard, grabbing the pull-up bar and knocking out a dozen perfect pull-ups like a Marine recruit.

The looks on their faces is, especially Mr. High School Jock’s girlfriend’s, was priceless.

They just don’t expect a fat old man to show them up like that.

It’s the little things in life that sometimes give the most pleasure.
