Yesterday was International Women’s’ Day.  I was, for the most part going to ignore the predictable moral preening from Western Women on the internet.

Tweets like this from or secular savior Greta Tunberg are a goulash of intersectional Leftist gibberish.

Today is #InternationalWomensDay and we recognise that women are still far from equal to men in today’s societies.
We can not have climate justice without gender equity.

And remember; what we women want today – and every day- is equality, not congratulations or celebrations. pic.twitter.com/g1CuEN6YLX

Blah blah blah…

I’m ever so slightly sick of millionaire celebrities and activists telling me how oppressed they are.

Just once I want a feminist to say that it’s unfair that men make up 93% of all work-related fatalities, and more women should go into trucking and roofing and risk ending up crippled or dead to feed their kids.

I was scrolling through the hashtag #InternationalWomensDay when I saw this Tweet:

https://twitter.com/MomentumCV/status/1236923905870364672

This is an anti-Semitic lie.

First of all, this shooting didn’t happen on International Women’s Day.  Even if it did, so what?  Is it some sort of get out of jail free day where women are allowed to commit murder and not be dealt with by the authorities?

That is important because, second, this shooting occurred because that woman attacked guards at an Israeli checkpoint and tried to stab them with a knife.

You can see one of the police officers kick the knife away from her after she goes down.  Anti-Semites are too stupid to edit that part out of the video for their evil propaganda.  They can’t tell the truth or their hatred of Israel stops being so easily justified and they are exposed for being the actual Jew-haters that they are.  Only through extreme mendacity can they masquerade their bigotry as a virtue.

But then I realized that in many ways, the Palestinians are really a much more feminist society than the West, and they forced Israel to become the equal society that the feminists say they want.

The Palestinians learned that Israelis, like many civilized societies, have a natural desire to not hurt women.  So they started recruiting women to be terrorists and suicide bombers.  Israelis were not inclined to search Palestinian women as thoroughly or be rough with them when trying to maintain command and control.  Consequently, women were more effective at getting closer with a knife or hiding a bomb.

Nothing says “female empowerment” like a pregnant suicide bomber.  In Palestine, a woman can truly have it all: children and the glory of martyrdom.

In fact, nearly half of all suicide bombers in some terrorist groups were women.  That’s a far more equal work-related fatality rate than we have in the West where we try to protect women from death and dismemberment.

Of course, this has forced the Israelis to have a mindset of equality.

Not just are Israeli women required to perform military service just like men, they serve in combat arms like the men, but Israeli soldiers have been forced to see Palestsianin women as potential threats and have to shoot them when necessary.

In Israel, they don’t see gender, they just see a knife or a bomb.

Maybe this is why the intersectional feminists love the radical Muslims so much.  It’s radical Islam that has truly achieved equality, in that they are just as willing so sent their wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters, even the pregnant ones, to die as martyrs and suicide bombers as they are their husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers.

I had to get rid of the old charcoal grill I had. It was too big, turned out to be a cheap POS that was coming apart and occupied too much space in my small back porch.  Besides, now that is two of us, we don’t need a big cooking area to grill our favorite stuff.

I had been looking at what they call “table top” grills and ended up with the Char-Griller Side Fire Box 22424. Small enough to use little real state and looked tougher than the other tin POS I had so we got it.  It is well built, thicker steel and…heavy.  Dear God my back did not like that.

Much to my chagrin I realized I needed to add wheels so I racked my brains for a couple of weeks till I hit a solution: A service cart! Most were too big and expensive till I bumped into one in Amazon that was not only perfect but you would swear it was built for the grill it fits so good and it was cheap (Paid $27.14):

It was an added bonus when I realized i could keep all the grilling stuff together in one neat package, roll it around easily and still using less space than the previous grill.  Even with the bag of charcoal,  the chimney starter and fluid, the set up is obviously top heavy but not too much. I just drive it around carefully and even the nasty winds we’ve been having have been able to tip it.

Speaking of wind, it is a certified biatch to light up charcoal with 15 mph winds and gusting to 25.  I looked into what to use to start the charcoals and found all kinds of crap from expensive small rolls of dried grass stamped with the ecological label to what amounted to cups sawdust and paraffin or cubes of paraffin and some sort f absorbent, flammable material. Now, I have some household paraffin (non-toxic used for canning) and at the time several small Amazon boxes, so I got busy and came out with this .

Strips of box cardboard about 2.5″ x 1″ dipped in paraffin. I tried to get fancy by adding a wick, but it was a total failure.  What I did was to cut the cardboard like you see in the photo and let it be its own wick. They work great!  So just go ahead, cut a bunch of cardboard, dip it in the molten paraffin (use long tweezers if you have them or needle nose pliers) and once coated well, drop them on aluminum foil.   once they cool off, you just need to fold the foil and you are ready for the next grilling event. The good news is that even with winds, they will stay lit which is also the bad news because they are light enough to be blown away while on fire. Don’t ask. So light them up and toss them quick under the charcoal chimney.

I will probably do some adjustments, but I am pretty happy with this system.

Many of the responses to Congressman Buck’s challenge to Joe Biden over his AR-15 were about penis size… because the Left is a bunch of children.

One example stuck out at me:

I don’t know how Ken Buck felt when he bought his first AR-15, but I remember getting my first strap-on and it must be something like that.

Fine, concede it.  Gun owners all have small penises and are insecure.

Dildos and strap-ons threaten us and hurt our feelings.

What Republicans need to do is submit a bill that says nobody needs a penetrative sexual stimulation device that is longer than three inches.

The private possession of such a device is banned for civilian ownership.  Only licensed dealers may sell them and only to individuals licensed in the adult entertainment industry.

We will mandate that unlicensed civilians turn in their oversized sex toys.

If they don’t, we will go door too door with law enforcement agents to dig through your sock drawer or nightstand to find it.

If you resist, you’ll be arrested and maybe shot.  They will also shoot your dog just because.

You may not have caused emotional harm anybody with your 10-inch vibrator, but that’s not a guarantee that you won’t, so it’s best that we just confiscate it now.

Confiscation won’t be pleasant and many people will get hurt by zealous law enforcement.  But since only sex-crazed Leftists own that sort of stuff, that’s a feature not a bug.

Arguably this is many times more plausible than an assault weapon ban because there is no Constitutional right to sex toys.

I fully expect to see perverts waiving their rubber dicks in protest in California if this is proposed.

Some Republican should really do this.

The other day the Democrat’s presidential front runner Joe Biden announced that he would put Beto O’Rourke in charge of his gun policy

Beto made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that he was coming for your guns.

Remember what happened the last time the government said: “hell yes, were going to take your AR-15.”  Seventy-five people, including twenty-five children, were burned to death after modified tanks were used to fill a building with tear gas.

Congressman Ken Buck decided to respond to this with his version of “come and take it.”

I have just one message for Joe Biden and Beto O’Rourke, if you want to take everyone’s AR-15s, why don’t you swing by my office in Washington, D.C. and start with this one?

Come and take it. #2A pic.twitter.com/jG2SiXetov

I don’t know if that is a deactivated wall hanger or if members of Congress are allowed to have weapons in the Congressional office buildings, but the point is still valid.

The President of the United States cannot violate the Second and Fourth Amendments of the Constitution of the United States and send law enforcement to seize Americans’ guns.  To try would cause civil unrest like we haven’t seen in this country before.

The Left jumped on this to remind Congressman Buck that in their world, violence is a one-way street.  The government can dish out unrelenting violence against groups that the Left doesn’t like, but nobody is entitled to defend themselves from government.

.@RepKenBuck, had I seen this yesterday when in DC I gladly would have. My daughter died from a single AR 15 bullet. You may find joy in that, I don’t. I will gladly come back to DC to discuss your AR 15 and removing it for safe storage. Do not make threats of AR 15 violence.

— Fred Guttenberg (@fred_guttenberg) March 6, 2020

I’m pretty sure Beto threatened AR-15 violence first when he said he would send armed LEOs to confiscate guns. Those LEOs will be armed, most likely with AR-15s.

Where is Secret Service?! This is at least a suggested threat to kill Joe Biden. This man should have his weapons taken away under “red flag” law until he can make a showing to a judge that is not a threat

— (((DeanObeidallah))) (@DeanObeidallah) March 6, 2020

Send in the LEOs to stamp the boot in the face of the guy who made a video of his intent to resist having the boot stamped in his face. That’ll teach him.

Congressman Buck’s implied violence is bad, but implying violence against Congressman Buck is good.

I would be happy to remove it Ken. I was a Gunnery Sergeant & Force Recon Marine & if you were my Marine you would be in a world of hurt for lack of example & derelict weapons handling. Ken never served. His cowardice & fear is plain as day. Stop making a toxic culture worse. pic.twitter.com/SLnjfYlHmG

— McCorkle for Congress (@Ike4CO) March 7, 2020

This is the scariest one of all. McCorkle is running for Congress against Buck. He thinks that as the elite of the Marine Corps, it’s his right and duty to violently take a man’s legally obtained AR-15. You know how I keep saying I have a growing suspicion that there is a radical Leftist junta embedded in the upper brass of the US military just waiting to rear its ugly head and start shooting American civilians because they think that have special privileges as veterans?  McCorkle is another piece of evidence, and the second Congressional candidate and veteran running who wants to go on a hard purge of Americans on the other side of the political aisle.

I’m convinced that’s why these people join the military.  They believe that only the government has the right to possess arms, and has the right to use those arms to control the citizenry, so they join the government to be part of the face stamping.  For them, shooting terrorists or insurgents in Iraq, Afghanistan, or elsewhere around the world is just practice for when they get to do that to Americans over here.

Congressman Buck should be lauded by us for his principles and for reminding us that the Left’s goal is the total domination of our side.  Not just with violence if necessary, but with violence because they want to see us get hurt and killed.

“There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.  If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever. ”

From WUSA9 CBS in DC:

‘It’s not OK to lie to the community’ | MPD whistleblower details alleged crime underreporting in the first interview

A whistleblower from the D.C. Police Department is talking openly about the crime underreporting she says she’s witnessed inside the Metropolitan Police Department.

“I was surprised,” said MPD Sergeant Charlotte Djossou. “I didn’t want to believe it.”

Djossou, a 15-year MPD veteran previously honored for her service by Police Chief Peter Newsham, is going public with stunning allegations about what she says is going on in her own department.

She claims D.C. police supervisors are ordering investigators to downgrade crime classifications form more serious crimes to less serious ones to make the city’s crime stats look better.

“The commanders and the captains get promoted, and they get awards, when the crime stats are low,” Djossou said.

Here is her interview with WUSA9:

Remember the Iron Law of Bureaucracy:

In any bureaucracy, the people devoted to the benefit of the bureaucracy itself always get in control and those dedicated to the goals the bureaucracy is supposed to accomplish have less and less influence, and sometimes are eliminated entirely.

Police chiefs and high ranking administrators are not patrol officers.  They don’t risk their lives on the streets.  They are appointed by politicians who are elected.

Politicians get reelected when they say they reduced crime because voters like low crime.

Fighting crime is hard.  The easier thing is to have the politically appointed chiefs fudge the numbers to make it look like crime is going down so the politicians that appoint them and invite them to open bar catered fundraising dinners get reelected.

You might think that crime is going up because your city looks worse than it has since the end of the crack epidemic in the early 90’s, but the numbers say otherwise, and who are you going to believe, the Chief of Police or you lying eyes?
