New York and LA Times opinion writer outs herself as a bigot who doesn’t want “those people” living in her neighborhood

Jun 11, 2021 J. Kb 9 comments

 

By “those people” I mean “law-abiding gun owners.”

The funny thing is that the correlation between law-abiding gun owners and crime in a neighborhood is generally inverted, i.e., more law-abiding gun owners, less violent gun crime.

Mass shootings and violent crimes are generally not carried out by law-abiding gun owners.

The areas of Chicago with the most shootings are not areas filled with residents with FOIDs.

Moreover, exactly how does she intend to determine this?

Poll the residents, or does she want to dig through ATF paperwork and match up 4473s to addressed?

What this will most likely do is create maps of good neighborhoods to burglarize based on the likelihood of the burglar getting shot for his troubles.  Her “good neighborhoods” will quickly turn bad as they become targeted by criminals.

Let’s be honest, her motivation isn’t based on safety, it’s based on the Left’s most powerful motivation, bigotry and discrimination.

She doesn’t want people who are part of gun culture anywhere near her and wants to make sure gun culture people stay in their own part of town, the “bad part” far away from her.

This is fundamentally no different than the old bigotry of redlining against blacks or refusing to sell to Jews, the only difference is the category she chooses to discriminate against.  She’s still a segregationist bigot, through and through.

Every single anti-Trump outrage has been proven to be a lie

Jun 11, 2021 J. Kb 12 comments

Last week I delved into just how much of a lying, Iron Law bureaucrat Fauci was and that Trump should have and would have been right to fire him over a year ago.

Well, now there is this:

Oh, and then there was this too:

 

Every single DNC/media pushed lie and conspiracy theory about Trump is being proven false and that Trump was right all along.

They don’t need to hide it anymore because they won and are in power, mission accomplished.

I’m laying down my marker here and now.

We will find out that Trump won the 2020 election and that Biden got 80 million votes because of fuckery.  I am certain of this.  Every other Trump statement the media fought this hard has turned out true in Trump’s favor.

Sounds like a Murder Suicide involving the kid. Sumbitch.

Listen, do you want to end your life because your wife left you? Fine. You want to take her with you? You are an asshole which is probably why she left you in the first place. But you also want to kill your own progeny out of spite? I hope you are butt-rammed by a flaming steel bull for the eternity you will spend in Hell.

Apropos of nothing, I have returned to full size carry and two spare mags. Stuff has been getting crazy, even for South Florida.

Sorry for the lack of posting, still doing the moving prep thing. Found ammo at Wally World!

Jun 10, 2021 Miguel.GFZ 7 comments

I believe we did not have this much issue moving overseas.

I had to do some grocery shopping, so I did my obligatory visit to the ammo counter.

Surprise!

In a sense.

Not pictured is what remains of .22lr like I bought the other day and I am amazed there were still some left.  Although I promised the missus over a stack or Chilton books that I would stop buying ammo because “we are moving and we don’t need any more weight, do you understand that or do I have to bang you upside your thick head?” I have been trying to see if I can score some .30-06 because I am pitifully low for it.  So  I ended up thinking “Maybe I need something in 30-30 or that Springfield M1 and WTH is 350 Legend?”

OK, back to the house prep.

Medical malpractice will no longer be a bug but a feature

Of all the things I have written about on the topic of Woke, this should scare the shit out of you more than anything else.

What Happens When Doctors Can’t Tell the Truth?
Whole areas of research are off-limits. Top physicians treat patients based on their race. An ideological ‘purge’ is underway in American medicine.

They meet once a month on Zoom: a dozen doctors from around the country with distinguished careers in different specialities. They vary in ethnicity, age and sexual orientation. Some work for the best hospitals in the U.S. or teach at top medical schools. Others are dedicated to serving the most vulnerable populations in their communities.

The meetings are largely a support group. The members share their concerns about what’s going on in their hospitals and universities, and strategize about what to do. What is happening, they say, is the rapid spread of a deeply illiberal ideology in the country’s most important medical institutions.

This dogma goes by many imperfect names — wokeness, social justice, critical race theory, anti-racism — but whatever it’s called, the doctors say this ideology is stifling critical thinking and dissent in the name of progress. They say that it’s turning students against their teachers and patients and racializing even the smallest interpersonal interactions. Most concerning, they insist that it is threatening the foundations of patient care, of research, and of medicine itself.

I’ve heard from doctors who’ve been reported to their departments for criticizing residents for being late. (It was seen by their trainees as an act of racism.) I’ve heard from doctors who’ve stopped giving trainees honest feedback for fear of retaliation. I’ve spoken to those who have seen clinicians and residents refuse to treat patients based on their race or their perceived conservative politics.

“People are afraid to speak honestly,” said a doctor who immigrated to the U.S. from the Soviet Union. “It’s like back to the USSR, where you could only speak to the ones you trust.” If the authorities found out, you could lose your job, your status, you could go to jail or worse. The fear here is not dissimilar.

As another example of the generation gap, an ER doctor on the West Coast said he sees providers, particularly younger ones, applying antiracist principles in choosing how they allocate their time and which patients they choose to work with. “I’ve heard examples of Covid-19 cases in the emergency department where providers go, ‘I’m not going to go treat that white guy, I’m going to treat the person of color instead because whatever happened to the white guy, he probably deserves it.’”

Some in medicine would like to see such race-conscious bias mandated on an institutional level, particularly in regards to Covid-19, which has killed black, Hispanic, and Native American people at three times the rate as whites. These discrepancies are likely due to an array of factors, including income, housing, work, language, pre-existing conditions, access to health care, and, yes, possibly some degree of racism.

When you are sick you are at your most vulnerable.  You are desperate and hoping, praying, that a doctor can cure you.

Then some young doctor shows up and decides not to treat you, or at best do a half-assed job because of the color of your skin.

Over half a century ago, that would have happened under Jim Crow.

Today, that’s Woke.

This will kill patients.

The way our courts are going, I suspect a lot of judges in Blue areas will dismiss lawsuits against doctors from the families of patients who died because the doctor refused to see the white guy with chest pains who had MAGA  in his Facebook profile.

This is evil.

We need politicians on the Right to fight this.

A medical professional who refuses to do a job or does a half-assed job because of the identity of the patient needs to go to prison.  Not just lose their license and get sued, but do hard time in a maximum security prison like murderers deserve.

Until that happens, it might be a good idea to get a Gay Pride Science Is Real Black Lives Matter Love Is Love T-Shirt.  Just in case you have to go to the hospital, you can put it on and try to improve your outcome.

Bloomberg opinion writer doesn’t understand that the point is maliciousness

Jun 10, 2021 J. Kb 6 comments

 

Noah Smith is wrong.

This isn’t ignorance or the product of a zero-sum mindset.

This is a purposeful and malicious attack by the elite of society on the non-elites.

The families who can afford private schools in New York City are elites.  They will put their kids in private school to get the best education they can so they can go to a top-tier (probably Ivy League) college and end up back in the world of the elites.

The working and middle-class that cannot, will suffer.  This will make it harder for their children to level up.

The elite fundamentally do not care if nothing is made in the US, they make money fondling money on the international stage.  If they need to outsource to some other country, that’s just more money in their pockets.  If some middle-American town dies, so what, they live in NYC and don’t care.

The fundamental mindset is “you can’t sit here.”

The elites love, above all else, having things and access to things that regular people don’t.

I have tasted Johnny Walker Blue.  I have drunk a $500 bottle wine.  I’ve eaten caviar that costs more per ounce than Silver.  I have ridden in a Ferrari and a  Maybach.

I have had Costco wine that is better.  My Ford Mustang is more comfortable than a Ferrari and a Limited Ram 1500 or Platinum F-150 has just as much leather as a Maybach SUV and the infotainment is better.

The point of buying shit like that is the knowledge that people who didn’t go to the right finishing schools and then to Harvard and then do a brokerage firm on Wall Street can’t buy that stuff.

Moreover, what the elite hate more than anything else is that so much of what they had we can have too.

I an go to Costco and buy the same huge, ultra-HD TV that once-upon-a-time only they could have.

I can order a luxury pickup truck that is nicer than the last Mercedes they owned.

Cellphones and laptops used to be status symbols of the elite.  Think about Gordon Gekko in Wall Street talking on his cellphone in 1987.  By 1997, every middle-class businessman in Miami had a cellphone.  By 2007, cellphones were so ubiquitous that high school kids had cell phones, new homebuyers had given up landlines, and payphones were removed from public places.

Technology had democratized luxury and the elite couldn’t stand it.

Since then, the desire has been not just to own more but to make the rest of us own less.

 

That doesn’t apply to the elite, just to us.

Remember, everything they do is 100% the opposite of what they say.  They claim to want to fix income inequality but everywhere they are in power, income inequality increases.

That’s the goal.

They are doing their best to stomp us down into a dependent prole class.

You have to understand the purpose of President Biden

This makes no sense whatsoever.

Unless you understand the purpose of President Biden.

He is a punishment.  The elites are mad that we didn’t elect Hillary Clinton in 2016 and so they had “Uncle Joe” run as a moderate and disarming candidate.

What he is doing is everything to fuck the working and middle class that voted for Trump sideways.

Gas prices are up.  Oil workers have been laid off.  Food prices are up.  Our money is being devalued.  The border is open.  Insulin is going up.  No one month of jobs has been even close to the projected level.

Biden’s purpose is to stomp the fuck out of the Trump voter demographic until we know our place is under their boot heel forever.
