Rossi Revolvers Safety Warning

I got the notification via snail mail.

Rossi is issuing a voluntary safety warning on .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers made between the years 2005 and 2017 that may have a condition that could cause, under certain circumstances, the revolver to fire if dropped

This Safety Warning covers .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolver models R351, R352, 461, R462, R851, R971, and R972 with serial numbers beginning with the letter Y, Z, or A through K.

Rossi is developing inspection and repair solutions. Rossi will make every effort possible to ensure Rossi Revolvers will be inspected, serviced if necessary, and returned to customers in a prompt, timely fashion.

My Rossi snub is in the list. I already joined the fun.

A joke called the International Court of Justice.

The news has been received with mostly and equal mixture of roaring laughter and raised middle fingers. Some around the world are shocked that this administration are telling the ICJ to go pound sand in the Sahara.

A few pundits that tried to side with the enemy…ahem.. United Nations but I think even then they understood it was a sham as the ICJ, a slow-moving entity in the slower moving UN, suddenly develops war speed and in two months comes up with the ruling against what they thought was Bowing Obama’s America.

And proof of the above is the ruling that they made on October the First on a century old dispute between Chile and Bolivia who demands access to the Pacific Ocean. It took the same court 5 years to basically say the arguments that Bolivia presented were false and thus the proceedings stopped.

So dear International Court of Justice,

Kavanaugh causing the suicide of the American University

In the last couple of weeks I have covered how Yale and Harvard are destroying their reputations over Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

The law schools and law students associated with both of these schools have abandoned reason and the principles of American justice to come out against a man because they disagree with him politically.

This insanity has metastasized across the University system in America.

A couple of days ago, a Georgetown professor named Christine Fair let loose on Twitter with this garbage.

Georgetown is standing by Fair, but over at the Catholic University of America, a dean was suspended for questioning the validity of Julie Swetnick’s obscene and egregious allegations.

Call for the murder and mutilation of Republicans is fine, but be skeptical of a allegation against a Republican that is ridiculous on its face and be punished.

A group of more than 1000 law school professors signed a letter sent to the New York Times as to why Kavanaugh should not be seated on the Supreme Court.

The Senate Should Not Confirm Kavanaugh

Judicial temperament is one of the most important qualities of a judge. As the Congressional Research Service explains, a judge requires “a personality that is even-handed, unbiased, impartial, courteous yet firm, and dedicated to a process, not a result.” The concern for judicial temperament dates back to our founding; in Federalist 78, titled “Judges as Guardians of the Constitution,” Alexander Hamilton expressed the need for “the integrity and moderation of the judiciary.”

We are law professors who teach, research and write about the judicial institutions of this country. Many of us appear in state and federal court, and our work means that we will continue to do so, including before the United States Supreme Court. We regret that we feel compelled to write to you, our Senators, to provide our views that at the Senate hearings on Sept. 27, Judge Brett Kavanaugh displayed a lack of judicial temperament that would be disqualifying for any court, and certainly for elevation to the highest court of this land.

The question at issue was of course painful for anyone. But Judge Kavanaugh exhibited a lack of commitment to judicious inquiry. Instead of being open to the necessary search for accuracy, Judge Kavanaugh was repeatedly aggressive with questioners. Even in his prepared remarks, Judge Kavanaugh described the hearing as partisan, referring to it as “a calculated and orchestrated political hit,” rather than acknowledging the need for the Senate, faced with new information, to try to understand what had transpired. Instead of trying to sort out with reason and care the allegations that were raised, Judge Kavanaugh responded in an intemperate, inflammatory and partial manner, as he interrupted and, at times, was discourteous to senators.

As you know, under two statutes governing bias and recusal, judges must step aside if they are at risk of being perceived as or of being unfair. As Congress has previously put it, a judge or justice “shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” These statutes are part of a myriad of legal commitments to the impartiality of the judiciary, which is the cornerstone of the courts.

We have differing views about the other qualifications of Judge Kavanaugh. But we are united, as professors of law and scholars of judicial institutions, in believing that he did not display the impartiality and judicial temperament requisite to sit on the highest court of our land.

This is a partisan political hit.  This is bullshit of the highest order.

There has to be some sort of name for this type of philosophical trap.

Senate Dems: “You are unfit to be a Judge because of a ridiculous and baseless accusation in which you are claimed to be the ringleader of a group that drugged and gang raped girls in high school, presented by an attorney who openly hates the President that nominated you and wants to run against him in the next election cycle.”

Kavanaugh: “Fuck you, that’s not true, that accusation is partisan horse shit.”

Dems: “You are unfit to be a judge for calling out our disgusting partisan attack for being a disgusting partisan attack.”

This is a Democrat talking point and these law school professors have signed their name to it.  They are the ones putting partisanship over everything including basic human decency.  But the narrative is always whatever the GOP is doing is party over country and whatever the Dems are doing is in the best interest of the nation, no matter how often that is proven to be untrue.

Lastly we turn to the University of Southern Maine.

Maine university pulls ‘pop-up’ credit to protest Collins

A public university has pulled an offer for one college credit for students who travel to Washington to protest Republican Sen. U.S. Susan Collins as she considers Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

University of Southern Maine President Glenn Cummings said Wednesday the “pop-up course” was hastily arranged without his or the provost’s knowledge.

Maine GOP shared a Wednesday email in which a university employee says students could receive college credit for bussing to Washington, D.C., to demonstrate. The email links to an online form asking students if they’re willing to be arrested.

Cummings said the university immediately pulled the credit offering and said no university money will go to the trip, set for Wednesday night. Maine GOP spokeswoman Nina McLaughlin demanded to know which outside group organized the “liberal sham.”

The Maine Republican Part sent out this information about the event.

Good for the school president for shutting this down, but did he do it only because of public backlash and what about the professors that arranged this nonsense?

This is clearly hyper partisan activity that would have been subsidized by state and Federal tax dollars.  Tuition at USM is $271 per undergrad credit hour plus transportation costs.

That professors thought they could do this is extremely telling.  People should be fired over this, but I have a feeling they won’t be.

It’s like colleges looked at what happened at Mizzou and Evergreen State and how those schools became a national embarrassment and enrollment dropped and students who graduated couldn’t find jobs because the reputation of the school was tarnished and they sad “we want that here.”

The American college system is committing suicide over Brett Kavanaugh, showing us just how inside the Progressive bubble they are.

As a parent, I’m scared for my children’s’ future.  I want them to get a good education they need for a good job, but when happens when every place in America becomes a partisan reeducation camp that teaches them nothing but intersectional politics?

It is a terrifying thought.

USA Today now doubts Kavanaugh’s accuser.

When Christine Blasey Ford testified last week before the Judiciary Committee, America witnessed a haunted woman recounting a devastating trauma. But putting aside Ford’s emotional performance and focusing instead on the professor’s testimony reveals numerous inconsistencies in her narrative that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her.

And this conclusion comes from an expert who knows that there are many reasons victims delay reporting sexual abuse. Mitchell also recognized that victims may legitimately not remember certain details related to an attack.
But the problem for Ford is not that she doesn’t remember everything: It is that everything she remembers changes at her convenience.

Christine Blasey Ford’s changing Kavanaugh assault story leaves her short on credibility

I am starting to get the feeling that politicians and Media have either internal poll results or are being told by the common Joe and Jane that  the witch-hunt is backfiring at an enormous scale.  We are starting to see more and more articles and news items slowly backing away from the accusers: From the four “victims” that were the champions against Kavanaugh we are down to Ford and she is finally getting looked over with detail rather than semi-religious fervor in her infallibility.

I also believe it is not helping that Lefty operative are behaving like speech Cossacks harassing Republicans, old ladies in wheelchairs   or vandalizing  private property. I do believe the Silent Majority ha a much different opinion of Dr. Ford’s credibility than what we were bombarded by the Liberals and Media in general.

And Senator Jeff Flake is a laughable creature: He  jumped into a sinking ship thinking he is gonna save his reputation. Talk about miscalculation.

Hat Tip Jay H.

Update: OK, this is funny.

#MeToo BTW

Since a common line of verbal attack against Republican senators is “believe surviovrs” I thought I’d give my survivor credentials.

I am completely serious here, I am not being mocking or sarcastic.

I was, by current standards, sexually assaulted in college.

I was in my third year, I was in another dorm room, there were a few of us guys in the room, we were drinking, watching a movie, and joking around.

One of the guys there was gay and a year older than me.  I was carrying on and he must of misinterpreted my joking and he stuck his hand down my pants and grabbed me by the boys.

My response was something like “Dude, you’re barking up the wrong tree.”

He said something like “you’re sure?”

I said something like “yeah.”

He pulled out his hand and apologized.

I know that this will not count among the SJW crowd because:

  1. I’m a man and my lived experience doesn’t matter
  2. I was a straight man victimized by a gay man and that doesn’t happen
  3. I was not emotionally traumatized by this
  4. I don’t consider myself a victim.

It was more awkward than anything else, but it happened.  Really.

I still think that without corroboration or evidence of Dr. Ford’s allegations, there is no reason to not confirm Kavanauagh to the Supreme Court.

Lawsuit accuses Seneca Valley ‘mean girls’ of targeting boy with false allegations

While “Mean Girls Day” is being marked Wednesday in reference to a mention of Oct. 3 in the popular 2004 cult movie, the parents of a former Seneca Valley High School student claim in a federal lawsuit filed this week that their teenage son was terrorized by false accusations made by five “Mean Girls” at the school.

Michael J. and Alecia Flood of Zelienople, Butler County, the parents of a teenage boy identified in the lawsuit as T.F., seek unspecified civil damages against the girls’ parents, the school district and Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger’s office. The lawsuit alleges that the girls “conspired in person and via electronic communication devices to falsely accuse T.F. of sexual assault on two occasions.”

Not just do we have one girl lying, we have a conspiracy among five girls to create corroboration.

The 26-page lawsuit — filed in Pittsburgh on the eve of Mean Girls Day — alleges that T.F. “was forced to endure multiple court appearances, detention in a juvenile facility, detention at home, the loss of his liberty and other damages until several of the girls reluctantly admitted that their accusations were false” this summer.

This poor boy was arrested, sent to juvie, and placed under house arrest.  All for false allegations.

The lawsuit contends that T.F. was bullied on multiple occasions by classmates. In one example, the lawsuit said students last year placed masking tape with the word “PREDATOR” written on it on his back without his knowledge during choir practice.

So his social life was destroyed too.

The lawsuit alleges that the boy was further damaged by “gender bias” by school officials and Goldinger’s office, which even after learning the girls’ accusations were false “did not take any action against the females involved,” said attorney Craig Fishman of Pittsburgh, who represents the Floods.

“(T.F.) was basically being tortured in school by the other students and investigators, but the administration was only focused on protecting the girls who were lying,” Fishman said. “Once the allegations were proven false, they really didn’t care one bit about T.F. and there has been absolutely no repercussions against the girls.”

Why would they, everyone know that women never lie and are always the victims.

The lawsuit contends that T.F. was charged with sexually assaulting a girl identified in the lawsuit at K.S. on the pool premises, and Villegas corroborated K.S. claim by saying she was present during the alleged assault.

“T.F. was fired at the pool,” Fishman said.

It was just a job (interview).

In tape-recorded interview with school officials in 2017, the lawsuit alleges that K.S. said she made the sexual assault claim against T.F. because “I just don’t like him.”

“I just don’t like to hear him talk … I don’t like to look at him,” K.S. reportedly disclosed in the recorded interview obtained by Fishman.

WOW.  This girl is a sociopath.  She knew exactly what she was doing and by being a girl, exactly how he and she would be treated.

On Oct. 2, 2017, K.S. told fellow students “that she would do anything to get T.F. expelled … and accused T.F. of sexual assault” with school officials, the lawsuit states. T.F. was subsequently charged in juvenile court with indecent assault and two counts of harassment.

Real crimes that would fuck up his life forever.

In March, another girl — identified as C.S. and a friend of K.S. — reported to a school counselor that the boy had walked into her home uninvited and sexually assaulted her. The allegations were supported by information from two other girls, identified as E.S. and H.R., according to the lawsuit.

On April 9, Zelienople police charged T.F. with indecent assault, criminal trespass and simple assault.

Those come with real jail time.  This poor boy would have been doomed.

“On April 10, T.F. was removed from class at Seneca Valley High School and placed in leg and wrist shackles by the Jackson Township Police with the assistance of Juvenile Probation Officer Michael Trego,” the lawsuit said.

Trego testified at a hearing that T.F. was a threat to the community and the teenager had to spend nine days in a juvenile detention center before being released on home-electronic monitoring.

“After 28 days, T.F. was only allowed out of his home to mow his lawn,” the lawsuit contends.

Holy shit!

The lawsuit also claims school officials have repeatedly refused to mark the academic records of the girls who lied about the assaults.

Why should these girls suffer any real consequences.  This boy has suffered the humiliation of being arrested in front of his classmates, his academic record damaged, going to jail, getting fired, and being under house arrest, all because one girl “didn’t like to look at him.”

“T.F. has had psychological trauma because of all this. He’s had to see a psychologist to deal with the physical symptoms which are the direct result of being accused of something when when he did not do anything wrong,” Fishman said.

This kid is going to have a difficult road ahead of him.

These five girls treated framing a boy for serious crimes as a game.  They nearly ruined his life, and I don’t say that lightly.  The girls will suffer no lasting consequences and have learned that they can manipulate the system again if need be because they will get the barest slap on the wrist.

I fear that K.S. is going to go to college and try this on another boy.  Maybe she will do this to a male co-worker at whatever job she takes after that.

Maybe some good will come out of this whole Kavanaugh confirmation fuckery and some states will start passing strong laws against false accusations of sexual assault or rape.

If you destroy a man or boy’s life with a false accusation, you need to go to prison.  No ands, ifs, or buts about it.

Fair is fair.  If you want me to take accusations of sexual misconduct seriously, you need to take false allegations just as seriously.

To prison then hell with these mean girls.

I got the solution!

Since apparently for some, the vote is binary as in either or, I checked a Florida Sample Ballot and I am gonna do the following:

Not only I vote for both assholes, I write in a candidate we know has the support of many around the world!

“But that is gonna make the vote null and void!”

So? I voted the way everybody wanted and I got my vote the way I wanted…. everybody happy!
