“Hospital Staff overwhelmed by COVID cases!” Part Two: Electric Bogaloo.

No, seriously. you have read the stories how Delta is affecting so many people, the poor medical personnel is just exhausted and cannot continue like this anymore, right? Crying their eyes dry because all the little children affected by Chink Flu

And then this crap again:

Florida: I see it is Chest Thumper Season again.

I am copy/pasting a lot of Lee Williams’ article hoping he won’t mind:

When it comes to guns, Byrd has proven time and time again he is one of us and not a RINO, and I’m reasonably certain that when he cuts himself shaving, he bleeds Hoppe’s #9.

Unfortunately, none of that mattered to Luis Valdes, the Florida Director of the Gun Owners of America.

For reasons known only to Valdes, he singled Byrd out for blame Wednesday – posting an extremely offensive and naïve statement on social media:

Personally, I’ve never met Valdes, although we’ve spoken on the phone a few times. It is important that he and other advocates who come before the legislature understand the legislative process, and Valdes’ ignorant post proves he does not understand the process. Even worse, he did a disservice to gun owners by attacking a trusted lawmaker — a true friend of ours — who champions the Second Amendment.

In my opinion, Valdes must think that by attacking legislators who have a proven track record of advocating for gun owners, he somehow gains street cred. In fact, all this does is prove he does not deserve the trust of gun owners or the ability to speak on their behalf.

Valdes needs to understand that limited committee time cannot be spent on bills that have no chance of passing. That includes bills that do not have a companion in the other chamber. Legislators must find a sponsor in the other chamber. When they don’t or can’t, the blame lies with them for failing to do their job, not with a committee chairman who has a duty to ensure that bills of other members who have done their homework are heard.

Florida GOA director bashes pro-gun state lawmaker – by Lee Williams – The Gun Writer (substack.com)

I know I should be watching Tennessee rather than Florida now that I am a resident of the Volunteer state, but I cannot just shed 2 decades of Gunshine State Gun Rights in a couple of months.

Long time readers of the blog suffered with me trying to understand the intricacies of bills introduced in the Florida legislature and how they advanced (or not) through the process. If there was anything we learned is that if a bill in one side did not have a companion bill on the other, the chances of passing were akin to Shannon Watts telling the truth about “gun safety.”

And although I share the passion and think Gun Bills are a priority for our legislatures, I am also not childish enough to figure out they are not the only bills introduced during a three month legislative process!  Do you know how many bills were introduced in the Florida Legislation last session?

Click to enlarge

That is 3,096 bills introduced that must be read, analyzed, modified, and discussed (or not) from the end of January till last day of session in April 30. So in about 90 days give or take the had to go through all of that. That is some 34 bills a day or 1.4 bills per hour in a 24 hour day, seven days a week for three months! A bit unrealistic for the real world, I would say.

So, anybody who understand basic life, also understand that there is no way all those bills will make it because a legislative triage is needed in order to keep the State running. You may not like all that comes out of the Legislature, but some things are indeed necessary for the proper functioning of the Sunshine State and they must be take care of also, budgets being the first thing that comes to mind.

And another thing: The “killing” of bills is going to be mostly a housekeeping affair once it is determined they have no chance in hell to advance. By design , the calendar needs to be cleared so people can focus on those bills that are advancing and even then some of that housecleaning is done at the last possible moment and somebody has to do it. In this case, it was  Byrd’s duty so GOA is attacking the designated janitor because somebody else missed the urinal and peed on the tiles. By the way, if Valdez wants to blame somebody for bills not having companions and then getting killed, he has to go no further than pointing his accusatory finger to fellow Floridians who have been sitting on their asses this last 5 years and demanding the moon without putting one ounce of effort for our Gun Rights. Or they gone tactical pier fishing with plate carriers and the rest of the clown furniture generating miles of unproductive and negative news for the cause.

But I fear this won’t be GOA’s only screw up in Florida.

Oh well.

Miles and Miles of Editorial Dishonesty: DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN! (The Covid version)

Headline:

TN pediatric clinics overwhelmed with patients as Delta variant continues to affect kids | WZTV (fox17.com)

The image that comes to our minds is rows of beds filled with intubated little children in their last throes because of the virus. And then you read the article:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Some local pediatricians are overwhelmed with the number of appointment requests they’re getting amid the surge in COVID-19 child cases.

We went from an overwhelmed medical system to some docs having a bunch of appointments probably interfering with their golf game or banging the receptionist.

This is why people do not trust the Media. They DEMAND we trust the science, but the first thing they do is give us bullshit information parsed to create panic. The people affected by this panic then go on to “overwhelm” a couple of doctor’s offices with appointments which in turn make the news and is touted as proof we need more restrictions. They are willing participants in the Covid Theater of Horror because it sells and they are all for the ratings and clickbait.

And this is also why there is a “healthy” Anti Vax and Covid Denier culture. So many lies and contradictions go to fuel paranoia which goes to make some people take decisions that may not be the best.

Covid is turning out to be the biggest political epidemic game, much bigger than AIDS ever was. Hell, it has improved so much more that we have de facto dictatorships in Australia and New Zealand and more than one folk in government here wishing the could do the same to us here.

I always ask “If your cause is righteous, why lie?” and these sumbitches finally answered:

“Because it gives us unlimited power.”

The Sheriff warns that 911 is not working right, very spotty and then goes on to warn the criminal element that residents may take matters in their own hands which means they may need to call 911 for help.

And that is how’s done.

Add service dogs to the list of military equipment that was taken by the Taliban

Yeah, if you want a metric of just how shitty things are with this administration, they left the dogs locked in cages to die and the Taliban let them out and is going to use them.

Now I have no idea how Taliban dog handlers will behave (I have low expectations) but not leaving them to die of thirst in a box is already better than what Biden did.

We’re in an upside-down, Bizarro, clown-world.

Additional thought:

The Republicans better run ads all through 2022 and 2024 that Biden abandoned dogs and the Taliban treated them better than Biden did.  Leftist are idiots and normies are pathetic but most people love dogs and the guy that hurts dogs is always the bad guy.

 

Self defense and the associated weapons should be on a dimmer switch

This goes back to the idea that the Left sees violence on a dimmer and for the Right it’s a binary.

I agree with the Left that violence should be on a dimmer switch.

Especially the violence of self defense.

Take these two incidents from NYC (because NYC is an absolute shit-hole):

I just took my North Carolina carry permit course on Saturday.

They made it crystal clear that this type of simple sexual assault did not meet the level that justified lethal force.

I’d agree.  This was not life threatening.

But…

I don’t see why Mr. Grabass shouldn’t walk away from that confrontation without a compound fracture of the radius and ulna of his ass-grabbing hand.

Mr. Dickrester, on the other hand, really doesn’t need all of his teeth.

I believe that force should be met with force and people should have the ability to carry a variety of weapons for each level of force.

A baton for when you have to break a grabasser’s wrist and a gun for when you have to put a rapist in a hole.

I just with the law reflected that.

Maybe there would be fewer assgrabbers of every time one of these perverts grabbed some ass they’d spend the next few months on physical therapy learning to wipe their own ass again with that hand.

I’m going to try for an affirmative defense

I see shit like this and I never want to pat federal taxes ever again:

If I decide to say “fuck it” and just stop paying federal taxes, I’m gong to find a good lawyer, show video like that to the jury, and make the argument “I was afraid that if I paid taxes I would be buying weapons for the Taliban.”

I know that if I heard that argument for a defendant, I’d acquit.
