Yesterday I found myself scaling down on the “intake” of the new environment because I found myself trying to force data collection rater than simply “sit and observe.”

We do not live in an individualized/compartmentalized world but one that is a blend and dance of people interacting with each other. Rather than observing the whole image (I know very Gestalt and stuff) I was trying to analyze every part which is not only unnecessary but dumb as a falling rock.

I just started to focus on the difference I could see comparing to past experiences. While back in Miami, a loud group at the Cracker Barrel would be something normal giving the Latino’s propension to simply be loud and expansive, here in Tennessee is not as common with most people being rather concentrated on communicating just loud enough for the person across the table.  So when I saw table with about 8 people being loud, I watched to see their attitude: It was celebratory and jovial which rendered low in the threat scale according to experience and gut. And that was it! No need for a person to person analysis and assessment because truly it is not necessary, it only wastes time and mental stamina and does nothing to promote your safety.

Although certainly there are different behaviors between where I was and where I am, people will have a lot of commonalities everywhere you go. If you know those already, you do not need to “relearn” them. You just concentrate in the differences, analyze what could be consider a danger indicator and archive it for future reference. The rest is just ornamental stuff.

Work smart, not hard.

I tell everyone considering their first gun purchase that a good holster should be included in the budget–not just an afterthought pic.twitter.com/Jwtr2dK34X

Personally, I’m not a fan of appendix carry because as a fat guy, it’s uncomfortable.

Regardless of how you choose to carry, a quality holster is important.  It looks like he got something snagged in the trigger guard and when he bent over he had an AD.

He is insanely lucky.

Had he hit his femoral artery, he would have died.

I don’t think he actually hit the wedding tackle either, as he’s way too calm afterward.

I do think the muzzle blast singed the sack and stung like hell.

Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor the likeness of any form that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Mayor of Cincinnati:

There must be hit squads of NRA members going to research labs and small garages across the world knee-capping anybody doing research on smart guns, right? That is what is keeping the research from reaching its success.

The sad part for the Mayor is that the NRA has never come against Smart Gun technology or endorsed it either: They simply have stated that is gun owners the one who will decided if the technology is necessary or successful via their pockets. They do oppose to imposing the technology and may had made fun about retrofitting half a billion firearms in the hands of US Citizens, but never an outright chest-thumping opposition to the technology. The reason? The lying Opposition cannot say that the NRA, for all it says and preaches about gun safety, contradicts itself attacking the development of a safety device for guns.  They can make crap up like The Dishonorable Mr. Cranley is doing, but they simply cannot offer a direct quote where the NRA states its opposition to it because simply does not exist.

Many times we still fail to see the amount of game-ship and news manipulation that goes into Gun Rights. We do not need to preach to ourselves, we are already firmly entrenched on the right side, but we have to fight for the souls and minds of those lost somewhere n the middle of the field.

Let the Enemy lie and then expose them. It is not a glamorous job, but it still needs to be done.

Spike Lee is still trying to be relevant once again. He became a has-been who is being pushed around because he allegedly is “respected” by White Liberals for his past movie work. But truly he has nothing much more to often that racia rethoric and outdated to boot. Relevant section begins at 1:03.

And then this happens?

Superior “powers” may have issued a strong hit, who knows?

PS: Dear Spike, the hunters of black people by far and then some beyond, are other blacks. Wanna stand out above the rest? Lead with the truth and seek solutions rather than assign blame to those whop are not even in thee same zip code.

Capitol Police to use Army surveillance gear to monitor Americans and 'identify emerging threats' https://t.co/Gn1rVX1cmK pic.twitter.com/ARfdHguHkY

So a mostly peaceful protest (actual, not sarcastic) at the US Capitol, which evidently was partially initiated by FBI informants, is now justification to turn the US Capitol Police from a police force tasked with protecting Congress in DC into a paramilitary agency with nationwide investigative and enforcement authority that reports to the majority party of the Legislature.

This is an incredible expansion of authority, which gives Congressional Democrats direct control over a Law Enforcement Agency.

This makes me nervous.  Such an agency is rife for political abuse, which I assume  is a feature not a bug.

If the Nancy Pelosi wanted to create her own Sturmabteilung, this is how to do it.
