Miguel is a friend.

The kind of friend that if he calls in the wee hours of the morning telling me that he needs help and a bag of lye, I’m on my way no questions asked.

He told AWA and I he was having hernia surgery earlier in the week.

I’m surprised he did post about it beforehand, he usually does when he’s going through stuff like that.

When he texted us that he was in recovery, I sent him a screenshot of the draft post I made.  He laughed.

That’s when I knew it was okay to post it.  I wasn’t going to until I knew he was safe in recovery and in good spirits.

There is an episode of MASH called Tea and Empathy, in which a British officer enters the recovery tent and starts yelling at his soldiers for being lazy.  Hawkeye throws him out.  Later the officer returns and Hawkeye confronts him.

The officer says that only a madman would yell at greviously wounded soldiers and his men know he’s not a madman. So in his own way he was telling his men that they would be alright.

The Art And Joy Of Busting Someone’s Balls

I’ll also reference you to all of the Friars Club roasts.

When we are all assured that Miguel was going to be okay, a little gentle ball-busting was warranted.  Especially since he had inguinal hernia surgery, I had to be gentle with his balls (zee, another joke).

Nothing malicious.

Just a guy friend doing what guy friends do.

Perhaps this doesn’t translate as well in written form as it does verbally, but know this fir what it is.

And if it makes you feel any better, this is the get well present I got for Miguel.

Miguel underwent a routine medical procedure today.

It’s good to tell you all that he pulled through.

Prayers for his recovery.

Hoping that his penis enlargement was a success.

Thank you

That is not funny.

That is a text book TBI.

Decorticate posture

Decorticate posture is an abnormal posturing in which a person is stiff with bent arms, clenched fists, and legs held out straight. The arms are bent in toward the body and the wrists and fingers are bent and held on the chest.

This type of posturing is a sign of severe damage in the brain. People who have this condition should get medical attention right away.

Decorticate posture is a sign of damage to the nerve pathway in the midbrain, which is between the brain and spinal cord. The midbrain controls motor movement. Although decorticate posture is serious, it is usually not as serious as a type of abnormal posture called decerebrate posture.

The posturing may occur on one or both sides of the body.

That is exactly what you are seeing.

That was a school bathroom fight and that boy had his brain damaged when it struck the wall or floor (hard to tell).

Fights are serious business, do not get into them.

Lawsuit can proceed against Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse

A federal judge in Wisconsin ruled Wednesday that a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the father of a man shot and killed by Kyle Rittenhouse during a protest in 2020 can proceed against Rittenhouse, police officers and others.

The father of Anthony Huber, one of two men shot and killed by Rittenhouse, filed the lawsuit in 2021, accusing officers of allowing for a dangerous situation that violated his son’s constitutional rights and resulted in his death. Anthony Huber’s father, John Huber, also alleged that Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time of the shootings, conspired with law enforcement to cause harm to protestors. John Huber is seeking unspecified damages from city officials, officers and Rittenhouse.

U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman on Wednesday dismissed motions filed by Rittenhouse and the government defendants seeking to dismiss the civil rights lawsuit.

So Rittenhouse conspired with the police to get Huber, a wife beater, to attack Rittenhouse from behind with a skateboard so that Rittenhouse could shoot him?

That’s some fucking bullshit.

Bit Adelman is a ridiculously Leftist judge, who was centured for being a Leftist politician at the bench.

The point of this isn’t to seek justice, it is to use the civil legal system to hurt Rittenhouse by trapping him in legal proceedings intended to financially destroy him.

The process is the punishment and this judge will allow the process to do that.

Huntsville family facing eviction after FBI raid

A Huntsville family has less than 20 days to find a new home after their home was raided.

Travolta Garritt said his family was awakened to loud door knocks at midnight on January 24. Exclusive Ring camera footage showed officers moving in and banging down the door at Westlake Apartments, breaking the porch light, and then destroying the doorbell camera immediately ending the recording.

According to the family, a search warrant was received two hours into the raid stating police had probable cause to search the home. Officers with the Huntsville Police Department were there assisting the FBI Taskforce in locating 55-year-old Lawrence Jones. Jones was arrested in connection to four Regions Bank robberies in Madison and Huntsville.

Jones’ ex-girlfriend lives in the home but the family said they are not together and had no knowledge of the robberies. Jones was not inside during the time of the home.

Family members said they were handed a 30-day eviction notice the day after the raid, claiming Jones was arrested at the residence.

“We got less than 20 days to find somewhere to stay for something we didn’t do,” said Sarika Eason, who lives inside the home.

WAFF 48 spoke to attorney Russell Crumbley who is not involved in the case. He said officers need to have thorough evidence before entering a home.

“They have to be particular about this place to be searched. They can’t just say they believe there’s going to be illegal stuff,” said Crumbley.

So the police destroyed a woman’s rental home during a raid, based on a search warrant obtained with shitty FBI information, and lied about the suspect being at the residence, causing this woman to be evicted.

When you’re evicted for breaking the terms of a lease with criminal activity, it’s almost impossible to get a new lease.  That comes up in a background check.

So the police fucked this woman over hard.

The police should be held liable for shit like this.

If the police conduct a raid, unless they arrest the suspect that location and obtain a conviction, any property damage done during a raid needs to be fixed by the police and any material harm done to the tenant or property owner needs to be made right.

Watch the overuse of raids fall off a cliff if that happens.

Feast your eyes on this garbage:

Let’s break this down.

The government clearly violated the Constitutional rights of this gun owning citizen.

He states that he will resist the violation of his rights.

The government kills him in a drone strike.

The entire thesis of this cartoon is “tyrannical might makes right.”

The government can violate your rights and then assassinate you with a drone, so all you should do is acquiesce to their tyranny.

I don’t accept that.

Moreover, the cartoonist just loves the idea of his political enemies being idiots that get slaughtered in drone strikes.

The Left has never come across a problem that the preferred solution isn’t exterminating some particular group of people.

But once again, I am compelled to point out that the tactic of “kill them with a drone strike” that has been used with such effect in the Middle East only worked because the drone pilot’s family, and probably the drone pilots too, were not neighbors to the people being drone struck.

Does the cartoonist really want to celebrate some American gun owner being killed in a drone strike, when the cartoonist’s personal information is probably readily available to the friends and loved ones of the dead gun owner?

They think this will be idiot gun owners homes getting hit with Hellfires and everything going swimmingly afterwards.

That have no idea what war is like when the people doing and cheering on the deaths of Americans send their kids to the same school as the people they want dead.

Things get ugly under those circumstances.

Senate Republicans push for concealed carry reciprocity in new Second Amendment bill

Republican Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., today will introduce new Second Amendment reforms that would allow state-issued concealed carry permits to be recognized in other states that allow concealed carry.

The bill, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, is backed by more than 40 of their Senate colleagues, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Senate Minority Whip John Thune, R-S.D.

“I’m proud to support law-abiding gun owners across America with this commonsense legislation that would let them concealed carry in all states that allow it,” said Cornyn, who sits on the Senate judiciary, finance and intelligence committees.

The measure treats state-issued concealed carry permits like drivers’ licenses, as people can use their home-state license to drive in another state but must abide by that other state’s speed limit or road laws.

This is the the way it should be, and now that Bruen has made all of America shall issue, there is no reason not to have 50 state CCW reciprocity.

But Biden won’t sign it and the Republicans don’t have a veto proof majority.

But maybe if the Republicans win the presidentcy in 2024, there is hope for this to be passed into law.

Especially under President DeSantis if Florida goes Constitutional Carry.
