Pressure washer saves my bacon

Still doing the cleaning and fixing to sell the house, so we invested in a pressure washer and trust me, it was the right thing to do.

We went with the Ryobi 2,000 PSI

You realize how much grime you accumulate in your walls and floors after 20+ years of urban/suburban living till you remove it. This little pressure washer did the trick  very good with only a few complains. I sued it day before yesterday to clean the lake side of the house and the inside of the porch roof and it almost went back to the original white. The cascade of dirty water was both impressive and disgusting.

Two thousand PSI is the minimum I saw recommended for somewhat heavy work. I am still stripping old paint from the deck and this thing (with the tight tip) is doing the heavy work.  The telescopic handle and the light weight makes it a dream to move around. The soap container threw me for a loop:  It will not dispense soap unless it has the right tip which probably means internally it has some sort of pressure regulated valve that opens the flow when low enough pressure is detected. Anything higher and it just shoots plain water.

That black bulbous thing at the end of the gun is what Ryobi calls the Turbo Nozzle and I believe it will remove all your sins if placed close enough to your soul. I forget how long the electrical cord is, but is long for your regular household plus has a its own ground fault circuit interrupter plug. The pistol part is comfortable and it takes a long time of use for your hand to be tired. Lots of bronze and steel bits in all the needed places and looks and feels well done and solidly built overall.

Now what I do not like: The tips other than the Turbo Nozzle suck. It comes only with a 15 degree tip and a soap tip, both all plastic construction and performance that did not convince me. I bought an inexpensive set from Amazon that has variety and do a better job for under $10.

The other thing I hate is the hose. It is stiff and hard to deal with because it will not lose its material memory and wants to keep coils. You could probably drive a tank over it and not damage it, but it is a royal pain in the ass.

Do yourself a favor and also buy the Electric Pressure Washers Surface Cleaner, specially if you have to clean any flat surface over 25 square feet. It has two revolving zero degree tips that will clean whatever dirt flooring you face, but be aware that zero degree means it is a very aggressive cleaning and that soft surfaces that you d not want damaged will be. It is also fun because it wants to play hovercraft so it slides easy in any direction.

And that’s it. Seriously, for the regular homeowner, this is a very handy power tool to have. It has other accesories including a foamer for car washing. You select what you need and play with it.

Here is the quick reference guide in case you want a bit more info.

The Religion of Equity is morally bankrupt garbage

The history of Socialism and Communism in the 20th Century is the deaths of over 100 million people, for the purported goal of making everyone equal in their outcomes.

Focus on making unequal people equal has wrought more destruction than any other political goal in modern history.

The lens of equity has been turned on the Israel/Palestinian conflict.

John Oliver is a piece of shit who tries to cover his ignorant immorality with comedy.

Oliver’s argument is pretty much, Israel is better equipped to defend itself and therefore there is no equity in casualties and that makes Israel the bad guy.

This is not much different than Ilhan Omar’s Tweet about the Palestinians not having Iron Dome or the other complaints about proportional response.

At best, the people to agree with Oliver don’t care about inent.  Hamas wants to wipe out the Jews, commit actual genocide, and deliberately target children.  Israel calls off strikes when there is the risk of hitting children and has offered Hamas peace in the past.

But never mind that.  Not enough Jews have died because Israel is just too good at defending itself and that’s not fair.  More Israeli citizens need to die to be equitable.

The Left has always hated the Jews, but I watch this and I get frightened that the tide has shifted and that in today’s Woke world, more people want to wipe out the Jews than stand against it.

Just ponder about this for a second

I saw this tweet from Senator Cruz and a thought formed in my head.

With the possibility that Cyrus Vance Jr. New York County District Attorney would indict Trump so he is not able to run for President next election, I figure that it would piss Republican voters (and I reckons a size chunk of independents) enough that a presidential ticket composed of Ted Cruz and Ron DeSantis would demand an incredible amount of fraud from the part of Democrats to defeat.

Just an idea with my first coffee of the day

England: Why we need Castle Doctrine, Stand Your Ground and rifles with lots of big magazines.

And the only reason it has not happened here yet is because they may or may not get away with it in some Blue states. In Red States the crime scene cleaner’s bill would require a GoFundMe, but it is doable.

Keep your powder dry because some dumb assholes will try and do this.

This is why I am the way I am, armed to the f**king teeth.

Just like crime, political violence, civil unrest, and social decohesion, anti-Semitism has gotten intensely worse in the last year.

The latest fracas between Hamas and Israel has really brought the Jew-haters out in a way we have not seen in a long time.

Jews being bullied, intimidated, and attacked in public.  Large rallies calling for the destruction or genocide of the Jews.  Uniformed Leftist thugs attacking and beating Jews.

Members of the government inciting against the Jews.

I’ve seen this before in Germany in the 1930s.

It’s not just the US.

Our famously nice and peaceful Canadian neighbors are beating up Jews.

The Woke Left in every Western country has uncritically embraced radical Islam and violence against Jews and calling for a genocide of the Jews is now occurring in broad daylight Western nation after Western nation.

A bunch of Trump supporters having a rally or Christians trying to worship indoors get a stronger police response than Antifa and Palestinian supporters sexually assaulting Jewish women and beating Jewish men and chanting about wiping out the Jews.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if some member of the squad referenced a new Final Solution from the floor of the House by the end of the summer.

This is why my father taught me to shoot and about the value of the Second Amendment.

This is why I have spent my adult life stockpiling and training.

Woke Left/Antifa and Palestinians, Hilter and the Grand Mufti, the racist radical Jew-hating Left is once again conspiring with Jew-hating Muslims for the destruction of the Jewish people.

They are coming for me, that is not hyperbole, and I will be ready.

This speech is insanity

This is Woke Leftism.

There is no connection between Black Americans and Palestinians in Gaza.

There are legitimate forms of protest for Black Americans.  There are legitimate forms of protest for Palestinians.

The problem is, attacking and beating people, setting buildings on fire, throwing rocks at cars, blocking traffic to attack drivers, are not legitimate forms of protest.

The Palestinians and Antifa/BLM have done, or attempted to do, all of the above.

Extrapolating this, if Black neighborhoods could get Iranian knockoffs of Soviet ballistic missiles and launch them into White neighborhoods if the Congresswoman would consider that to be a form of resistance?

The point of the Congresswoman’s speech was to lie and cover for the damage done in the name of BLM and Palestinian rights, and to open Israel to destruction in the name of equity.  It’s done to take advantage of the West’s love for an underdog and oppressed victims.

It also foments anti-Semitism among the Woke victimhood class.  The same people who attacked cops and businesses will have even more license to attack Jews as oppressors.

I’ve seen politicians give speeches about the Jew as a worldwide, universal oppressor who deplete a nation of their money, and I know where it leads.
