Mayor Bloomberg makes it clear his money makes his life more valuable than yours

A gun owner asked Bloomberg about his security detail at a Fox News town hall.

Bloomberg’s answer was dripping with the kind of elitist snobbery that hasn’t been seen since the French started separating royalty from their heads.

See, Michael Bloomberg was the Mayor of The Most Important City on Earth or in the Known Universe™ and is worth more money than everyone in that audience put together times at least a hundred thousand, so you are God damned right that he can have all the best guns with the highest capacity magazines protect him, and fuck you peasant for asking about it.

If you want a 15 round mag in your CCW gun, all you have to do is become a billionaire too.

This is what happens when you give up belief in God.  You believe that the value of a soul can be measured by a bank account.  At $69 Billion, Bloomberg must be protected.  Some blue-collar schmuck from Flyover America can get murdered by some punk and even his family would be hard-pressed to give a shit.

I wonder if Michael Bloomberg believes that all the other rights in the Constitution apply to him more than others because he’s super-rich?

Who am I kidding, of course he does.  He’s happy to censor the internet and censored his own news agency.

Your rights are only what you can pay for in Bloomberg’s America.

Also, I’d just like to point out, the NYPD shooting qualifications are “Woefully Inadequate,” so in all likelihood, the guy that asked Bloomberg the question can probably outshoot Bloomberg’s entire security detail.

I made Khachapuri! (Georgian Cheese Bread)

Chef Joh is responsible for 100 extra pounds in this household. But he sure can post some delicious and simple to make stuff. Watch the video:

And here is my outcome:

I did things a bit different. First, my dough recipe is King Arthur’s Flour Bread Machine Bread – Easy As Can Be to which I add an egg not matter the batch size. It makes a difference, trust me.

The Chesses were Low Moisture Mozzarella, Feta (that thing goes a long way) and a blended mix we buy for salads that has Asiago, Parmesan, Provolone and Romano. I did not added butter for the eggs but I wanted some sort of meat so I pan fried some smoked pork chops cubed very small and added them with the egg.

Since I used the recipe for large size bread, I got 2 loaves that the missus rightly indicated could have used 2 eggs each.  Next time I will do so but include them 5 minutes earlier than the recipe calls for and them cover the loaves after they come out so the eggs finish cooking.

Next time I will make one loaf with eggs and the other without since we are only 2 and leaving a not totally cooked egg unrefrigerated and overnight is not my cup of tea. I scrapped the second loaf just in case.

I will tell you this hot out of the oven or room temperature, this bread rocks.  It will make franchise stuffed pizza cry and suffer impotence.

 

Clearwater: Bad things never happened with guns but we must ban them.

I have to do a fisk on this article:

Clearwater may not be able to ban guns at its new waterfront amphitheater
The city can’t ban guns at Coachman Park today. How might that affect the city’s effort to book concerts at its proposed new venue? r

CLEARWATER — In February, an estimated crowd of over 13,000 attended the city’s annual two-day Sea-Blues Festival at Coachman Park. Residents with concealed carry permits were allowed, as they are at every event at the public park, to carry guns into the festival.

The Clearwater Police Department reported no major incidents involving guns, or any other weapons.

See? Once again and just like in the last three decades in Florida, people with concealed carry guns attend public events and nothing has happened.

Those who wished to legally arm themselves at the festival were able to do so because of how Clearwater interprets Florida law. In 2011, the Legislature passed an expansive measure which prohibited local governments from regulating the possession of guns.

I think the word you are looking for is not expansive, but “expensive.”  State Pre-Emption makes sure that only the Legislature is legally allowed to pass gun laws and those local official who are found making up stuff to control and forbid guns, face a civil fine of $5,000. That means the money comes out of their pockets, not the taxpayers.

Even individual events sponsored or run by third-party companies at the city-owned Coachman Park fall under that law, City Attorney Pam Akin said.

None of this has resulted in much controversy at Coachman Park events over the years.

Great, so what are we talking about here?

But now, with the city hoping to build a 4,500-seat amphitheater at the historic park, Clearwater could be headed toward a conflict with artists who do not want to perform in a venue where guns are allowed.

That is their problem, not the problem of the Citizens of the State of Florida, the ones you work for.

“Some artists require the banning of firearms as part of their contract,” Ruth Eckerd Hall Chief Executive Officer and President Susan Crockett said in an emailed statement. “Not everyone, but it is becoming more common, especially for those artists who have experienced threats of some kind.”

Oh, I get it! We know what type of musicians are closely associated with Gun Violence and it ain’t Christian Rock. I have bad news for you, prohibiting legal gun owners to carry or not, if somebody wants to blast the idiots doing bad Sr. Seuss on stage, having a Gun Free Zone established is not going to do much to stop them from spraying them.  The only difference is some in the crown may return the gunfire and manage to move to a secure location.

Clearwater Police Chief Daniel Slaughter said security officials, who conduct screenings with metal detectors outside Coachman Park events, ask residents with legal firearms not to bring them into the park. In Slaughter’s opinion, if the resident insists on carrying, the city currently has no legal recourse.

No, they don’t. Again, it is the law and again, as indicated when the article started, there has not been incidents with Legal carriers during concerts.

“I think there are other venues that may not interpret the law the same way I do,” Slaughter said.

Somebody correct me here: Cops are to supposed to enforce the law, not become lawyers or judges and “interpret” the law so the city can increase revenue. That is some scary top cop Clearwater has if he is willing to twist and bend the law like that.

The city’s interpretation could change if Clearwater were to add, as noted in the Florida Statutes, “an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises” to Coachman Park. Slaughter noted concealed carry is not allowed at such facilities.

(IANAL) I don’t think Slaughter is thinking this one right. First I doubt that the State is gonna buy the idea of trying to transform a public park into a bar. But then you run into a little problem: No People Under 21 Allowed  in “an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises.” Basically in order to have a bad concert and collect monies, mom and dad cannot take the kiddies to the park or risk being arrested because they took them to a bar. Parolees that are out for a simple walk will be violated because they may be violating the conditions of their parole and I can’t remember what other idiocies can happen if they want to go that way. But the idea of irate parents inundating city hall and raising all kinds of hell and calling the Chief all kinds of names do have a certain appeal to me. Sure as hell would make for a viral video among gunnies.

If you ever have any doubts that there are government officials willing to take a dump on the law and the Bill of Rights just to kiss ass and make a buck, look no further than Clearwater

 

 

 

CBS has me rooting for the Russians

CBS posted this:

If the Russians taking over the US means we can do AK-47 disassembly-reassembly drills for high school PE then count me in Comrad.

In a choice between my kid being taught how to field strip a Kalashnikov and having to learn all the pronouns for the 31 different genders recognized in the city of New York.  I’m going have to side with the government that teaches AK field maintenance.

The 2020 Democratic Convention is gonna be fun

Just saw this:

It seems that the Machinery is grinding the path for the nomination of Biden.  He won big in South Carolina and now two of the “lesser” candidates are getting behind him eschewing Bernie.  And we should not for forget the Super Delegates either which have made the caucases irrelevant (Ask Hillary).

Why fun?

I don’t know all over the country, but I bet Portland Antifa joins the fray supported by the inaction of the PPD. Anywhere else? maybe, maybe not

Anyways, get your snack in time. Publix has a nice variety of party platters and sandwiches for events like this. We are particularly fond of the Boars’ Head Italian Ringleader.

 

Bloomberg’s The Trace short on information about the Molson Coors Shooting

Reader Roger G. sent me a copy of their newsletter dated today

Outside Milwaukee (and only because some local legislators want more gun control) the story of this shooting died in less than 48 hours.  The shooter being a black male who used pistols made it useless for Gun Control purposes because the Narrative indicates that only White Supremacists with AR 15s can be Mass Killers.

And even though they mentioned the victims, Gun Control is not designed to memorialize their deaths or otherwise this shooting would still be on the News and Liberal pundits chewing the fat about it.

It is never about those who died but those that need to be brought under control. Us, the Armed People.

The Misleading Arithmetic of COVID-19 Death Rates – Cato Institute.

Assuming the number of people who have reportedly died from COVID-19 is reasonably accurate, then the percentage of infected people who die from the disease (the death rate) must surely have been much lower than the 2–3% estimates commonly reported. That is because the number of infected people is much larger than the number tested and reported.

The Misleading Arithmetic of COVID-19 Death Rates.

Is it contagious? Yes. Will it kill you? Not unless you live in China or Iran. Even the Italians are finally catching up.

Basically you have 1.5 – 2 chances in 100 to die from Lousy Beer Virus which is almost about the same of dying in  a car accident or an overdose of opioids.
