Liberty Safes are not cheap. They made their reputation on how tough they are to crack open and people have spent lots of money because they believe the claims.

And now we know they can be opened by strangers with a simple piece of paper.

I foresee a business opportunity for those who can provide a fix for the backdoors installed from factory or brand-new locking systems.

And I have no doubt other companies may have similar federal butt-kissing issues with their safes.

Maybe we should have swap meets where safe owners randomly exchange locks with other owners just to throw an aleatory monkey-wrench in the process.

I just finished the Fallen Republic trilogy (Cascade, The Snarling Sea and Chasing Echoes) and I am damned glad I heard that Michael Bane podcast where he mentioned the books. It is fast paced, smartly written and way too damn close to what could happen, it will make you uncomfortable. I can promise you will get some new ideas on preparations and how to arrange your life if feces were to impact the rapidly rotating blades.

And what about Dogsoldiers? That is what happens when Murphy completely takes over.

I forgot to mention: James Tarr does not write Disney Happy Endings in case you are seeking some sort of self-deluded affirmation you can stand anything thrown at you. Think of them as harsh textbooks with an entertaining narrative.

Go spend your well-earned money in these books. You will thank me…or curse me.

Nope, not a restraining order. Something more “emphatic.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – A woman who was being strangled shot a man in the head in self-defense early Wednesday morning, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department.

Police said officers were called to a duplex on Debow Street in Nashville’s Old Hickory area, a location they have responded to before for domestic violence situations.

The man survived the shooting and was able to talk with officers on the scene, according to police.

Both the man and the woman were taken to the hospital.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – In two separate incidences on Friday, Metro Nashville Police officers had items stolen, including guns, from their marked SUVs parked outside their respective apartments, according to MNPD.

Police said an internal investigation has been launched following the thefts along with a criminal investigation to recover the stolen guns and items and arrest those responsible.

At about 2:30 a.m., an officer’s patrol rifle, helmet and ballistic plates were stolen from his marked SUV parked outside his apartment on Massman Drive, according to police. The stolen items were contained in a carry bag. One of the windows on the vehicle was shattered.

Also in the early morning hours on Friday, police believe at about 4:30 a.m., an officer’s shotgun and riot gear were stolen from his marked MNPD SUV parked outside his apartment on Rice Road. Police said a window was once again broken to steal the items.

Metro Nashville Police said that the guns may not have been left in a secure manner in either of the SUVs.

“May not have been left in a secure manner.” Yeah, no shit, sherlock.  And this is after we just spent a couple of weeks of “special legislative session” with Lefties demanding penalties for those who leave guns in cars and get stolen.

And I guess that the recent trend on increasing levels of disrespecting Law Enforcement and not giving a damn about consequences has not reached the ears of some among the MNPD who probably think “Nah, it will never happen to me.”

And now we have 2 long guns floating around to be used in future crimes.

I am old enough that I started school before the Federal Department of Education came into existence. My father was in the U.S. Navy. We traveled around the country as he was posted to different bases.

Sometimes those locations were in “The South” and sometimes they were in The North.

I am an American, first, last and always.

Years ago, in a motorcycle group I belonged to, I made a statement about the Civil War. One of the respected members replied with a question, “How many slaves did Lincoln free?”

The answer is surprising to most. Lincoln freed zero slaves. His proclamation only applied to the states that were in revolt. It did not apply to the states that remained a part of the Union.

This gentleman taught me to look a bit deeper at the history.

That is why I sometime choose to use terms I learned in school. At the time, my teachers taught both sides. Later I learned still more, yet my teachers still treated the south with respect.

If you took offense at my choice in terms in today’s tunes, please ask yourself “Why?” and if you have a good answer as to why I was out of line, feel free to let me know.

I recognized the accent immediately: They are Venezuelans. The fuckers did not have the balls to go against the Chavista Law enforcement and rescue place of birth but have no problem engaging in politically castrated NYPD.

They all need to get extradited back to Shithole Venezuela. But not only they won’t but as soon as they can, they will vote for the Democrats.

After two years here, I can say without doubting too much that shootings are happening in Nashville almost every frigging day.

Nashville is a firm Democrat bastion. If my google-fu was not incorrect, we are talking at least 70 uninterrupted years of Democrat mayors and the city is about to get a new Democrat (I believe the Republicans no longer bother to try). When I lived there in the early 80s, the Downtown/Broadway area was blocks of cheap honky-tonks, hookers and building after building abandoned and in danger of collapsing. After what I guess has been a lot of investment, now it is populated with plastic version of old honky-tonks, new hookers, and flashy lures that attracts tourists.

and what about the real bad parts of town? Well, the little I have seen they have not improved, and they have expanded. My old hangouts and neighborhoods where nothing ever happened have, last I checked collected at least a couple of murders and lord knows how many assorted crimes, violent and otherwise in the last year alone.

Nashville is a shithole covered in rhinestones and a made-in-China cowboy hat just as fake as the new generation of “Country” artists it serves as base.
