Month: July 2020

I just want Piers Morgan do be depressed.

J. Kb posted about his comment about Americans buying spree of guns.

You ready Piers? Between March, April and June of 2020, we sold enough guns to give one to each of the soldiers of the top 10 armies in the world (7,224,000) and still have about one million guns left as spares.

Depressed yet? No? Let’s try this. The National Sport Shooting Foundation estimates  that 2.5 million people became first time Gun Owners during that period. But for the sake of argument, let’s say they are overly optimistic and cut down their estimation in half so it comes to 1.25 million.

The Indian Army, the second with the most soldiers in the world,. claims 1.2 million serving.  China is number one with 1.6 million. New Gun Owners in the US just knocked down India to third place in numbers.

Later, dude.

 

 

 

Your defining song?

Saw this meme over at The Feral Irishman:

I went to look and according to Cash Box, it was Billy Preston’s “Nothing from Nothing” and according to Billboard it was Olivia Newton John’s “I Honestly Love You.” Bad news: I could never stomach Billy Preston and I don’t even recall that song from ONJ.

There was a full album in 1974, not just a song that more than “defined,” it cemented my musical inclination. It came out in May and i think I was playing it almost daily the rest of that year:

Besides, I firmly believe you just don’t have one single solitary piece of music that rocks you, specially if your tastes are eclectic as mine.

 

Radical Leftist reminds us why we need to buy more ammo

If you haven’t been paying attention for the last few 48 hours, Mount Rushmore is on the chopping block.

One Twitter user had an idea:

No, we shouldn’t.

Some nutjob responded:

I checked his other Tweets.  This is in line with the rest.  He’s a radical Woke socialist nutjob.

Because of Mount Rushmore one thousand random white people should be executed.

Must they be from South Dakota or just any random white people in America?

It really doesn’t matter because you can’t execute your way into prosperity, the Nazis, Soviets, Cambodians, Cubans, etc. all tried it failed.

Not to mention the immortality of it.

But hey, he’s woke and that means the mass murder of white people is acceptable as recompense for what others did in the past.

There is no argument to this he’ll listen to so just keep stockpiling ammo and prepare for when his Woke buddies draw your name in the white person human sacrifice lottery.

I am not saying they are playing with the virus’ numbers…

This just in… we are gonna die!

One of the comments I have been hearing is that New York is no longer showing big numbers of new cases (YAY!) while evil Trump and Bloody DeSantis are killing us. So I traipsed over the NYC Covid page (just the city, not the whole state) and it is true, their number of infected is down, but I also  found this interesting graphic.

And a bigger pic:

The last day of data available, NYC showed a total of tests (positive and negative) of only 4,828. The same day, Florida showed 5,408 positives alone. They re-arranged the Florida Covid page so they are having issues with some data and I can’t find the daily number of total tested, but last time I checked it was giving an 11% of positive returns, so let’s go with that.  Once again if my math is not wrong, that would mean that on that day, the number of tests (positive and negative) presented to the Florida Department of Health were in the vicinity of 49,000.

Florida tested 10 times more people than New York.

Now think of this: Florida never had the amount of people concentrated to do the Protests like New York did, nor we are condemned to use the Subway or buses to move around. They better pray we are right and the infection rate does not translate to ICU bed need rate and deaths or otherwise they are about to get reamed again.
