Why is Brooklyn barbecue taking over the world? https://t.co/aiemJpWxZw pic.twitter.com/dGPyQ7X912

I put up with being lectured at by Andrew Cuomo.

I put up with Michael Bloomberg pushing gun control and interfering in elections outside of New York City.

I put up with Chuck Schumer trying to take my rights away from me.

But I will not put up with this.  On behalf of the Great State of Alabama and the South in general, fuck you!  I don’t know what that that is, but it isn’t BBQ.

When they launched, Carroll didn’t have a BBQ background and wasn’t interested in following the footsteps of the Carolinas, Memphis, or Texas. “That’s not where my heart was,” he said. He grew up in Northern New Jersey and wanted to create something that relates to the area.

Let me be clear on this, a guy from New Jersey who opens a restaurant  in Brooklyn knows nothing about BBQ.

If you want good BBQ, you don’t go to a place that hired a hip, urban interior designer, and unless you are in Cajun country in Louisiana, you sure as fuck don’t give it a French name.

You find a shack with a hand painted sign with a big steel smoker out back that you can smell for miles.  The guy behind the counter cutting the meat weights over 400 lbs, is wearing overalls, and has a cholesterol count of about 700.

That is good BBQ.

“Even our rub has espresso in it. I mean what’s more New York than that?”

Those are fighting words.  You do understand that?

First you fuckers try to take my guns away, and now you are trying to ruin BBQ.

That’s it, we’re done here, that is the last straw.

I am submitting Articles of Secession over this.

The Oscar for Best Writing Adapted Screenplay went to Call Me By Your Name.

The movie is about a homosexual relationship between a 17 year old boy and a 24 year old man.  It is “pedophilia lite” and again shows how the gay community, which once fought against the idea that gay men were the prowl for boys, has now embraced it.

The Oscar for Best Original Screenplay went to Get Out.

The movie is is about a community of old rich white people who kidnap black people to transplant their brains into to live longer.  It is a viciously racist race baiting movie, so of course liberals loved it.  Just like this year with Black Panther, the progressive media is trying to turn it into a teachable moment.

These really is not much different than a movie about the blood libel in which the hero is the Christian boy escaping the Jews trying to drink his blood.  Except that everyone (who isn’t a member of the Women’s March) would see just how fucking horrible that is.

(Honestly, this movie upset me because I really liked Key & Peele on Comedy Central, and it seems the in the age of Trump, Jordan Peele has gone off the deep end. )

CNN is joyous with the fact that Jordan Peele is the first black man to win Best Original Screenplay – for a polarizing racist conspiracy horror movie.

Welcome to “Woke” Oscars 2018, where the best screenplays are for gay statutory rape and an anti-white blood libel.

This was Gary Oldman’s Oscar speech:

It was the most patriotic moment of the night, and it came from a man from London.

Notice how when he thanked America for the opportunities he’s had here, the audience sat in stony silence.

These were the same people that awarded and applauded child rapist Roman Polanski and covered up the crimes of Harvey Weinstein.

This is why celebrity endorsements have become toxic to politicians, Hollywood, by and large, loves pedophiles and hates America.

Sean Penn, famous for doting praise on Hugo Chavez, beat up Madonna and was charged with “corporal injury and traumatic conditions.”  He also beat up a photographer in 1987, for which he served time in jail.

According to Buzzfeed, Jay Z stabbed a record executive, plead guilty to assault and was sentenced to three years probation.

Bruno Mars plead guilty to cocaine possession.

Johnny Depp was accused of domestic violence and had a restraining order against him, both were dropped after his divorce.

Mel Gibson plead guilty to misdemeanor spousal abuse.

Charley Sheen has a conviction for domestic violence.

Wesley Snipes served three years in prison for tax evasion.

The list of celebrities with drug problems is even longer.

It it very easy for Hollywood to call for more gun control when surrounded by more than 500 LAPD officers.

It is even easier to call for more gun control when you or half the people you know are prohibited persons according to federal law.

The only thing worse than an out of touch celebrity with an armed security detail lecturing Middle America about guns is  an out of touch celebrity with an armed security detail, who can’t honestly fill out a 4473 or pass a NICS check, lecturing Middle America about guns.

A bunch of rapists, sex offenders, pedophiles, and domestic abusers want to support an anti-gun agenda.

Makes perfect sense to me.

If I were a woman beating, child diddling monster who conducted job interviews in the nude in locked hotel rooms, I’d want my victims disarmed too.

Just keep that in mind when the media praises this orange pin bullshit up and down for the next week.

It is the Whole Foods of camping supply stores.  REI shoppers are the hipsters of the camping world.  Everything they sell is ridiculously overpriced.  REI makes Gander Mountain seem reasonable.  Of course, when you have a climbing wall in the middle of our store, you have to pay for that somehow.

REI has never sold guns.  It specializes in camping, climbing, skiing, hiking, and other outdoor sports.

That didn’t stop them from jumping on the post Parkland virtue signaling.

REI halts orders from Vista Outdoor over its response to Parkland shooting

Vista Outdoors is a big company.  Not just does it include Savage and Federal Ammo, but non gun companies like Bell Helmets, Tasco, Bushnell, Bolle, Blackhawk, Camp Chef, Camelbak, etc.

We’re talking about mountain biking, skiiing, and hiking equipment.  Very poplar brands too.

When REI drops the sale of Camelbak products, I think REI will be hurt by that a lot more then Vista Outdoors.

American Outdoor Brands owns Smith & Wesson, and Schrade, which is a brand REI carries.  CRKT has a partnership with Ruger.  Will REI be dropping those too?  How about Benchmade and their relationship with H&K.

Hell, every knife company comes to SHOT Show every year, so they are guilty by association.

The question is, after Vista Outdoors and American Outdoor brands are boycotted, will there be enough products on REI’s shelves to keep them in business?

I hope not.

But on to the bigger picture.

This idea, boycotting the non gun and ammo brands made by companies that are subsidiaries of the same holding companies that own guns (that’s how that works) is gaining traction online.

When You Buy These Bike Brands, You’re Supporting the Gun Lobby

If you bought a cute little Copilot trailer to ferry your kid around town with your bike, we’ve got some bad news: Your purchase supported the gun industry.

Same goes if you paid for a Bell or Giro brand bike helmet, or a Razkulls child helmet or Camelbak water bottle. All of those bike brands are properties of Vista Outdoor, which is also the largest ammunition manufacturer in America and the maker of the MSR15, an AR15-style assault rifle.

The company is very politically active in the gun lobby, with strong ties to the NRA and its lesser-known but powerful industry cousin, the NSSF.

Even the Sierra Club is in on this.

If this is the direction that these people want to go, I encourage them.

I just want them to understand exactly what they are getting themselves into.

American Outdoor Brands owns Smith & Wesson.  Smith & Wesson made the rifle used in the Parkland shooting.

Smith & Wesson owns SW Precision Components.  A 60 ton forge necessary to forge out AR uppers and lowers or 1911 frames is expensive.  You want to get the most used out of your equipment as possible.  So you run it 24/7.  If you don’t have the capacity to get all the use out of it yourself, you work as a subcontractor for other companies.

Same for heat treating furnaces, carburizing furnaces, plating equipment, plastic injection molding, etc.

You make things like:

Medical devices, automotive components, equipment for the oil and gas industry, etc.

Ruger owns Pine Tree Casting in New Hampshire.

Over the years Pine Tree has provided
investment castings for industries
including architectural hardware, sporting
goods, hand and power tools, marine
hardware, computer networks, food
service, medical and firearms. 

If you buy anything with metal injection molded (MIM) components, you support the gun industry and technology driven by Remington.

So…

Dear virtue signaling liberals,

Before you buy any processed food, medical devices, bicycle parts, car parts, cars, gasoline, or anything else that is forged, investment cast, injection molded, MIM, plated, heat treated, or has parts that were, you better check to make sure that they weren’t processed by SWPC or Pine Tree Casting, or you are supporting the gun lobby.

You had best just sit in the dark and starve, that is the only way to be sure.

Alabama Lawmaker Proposes Ban on all Semiautomatic Gun Sales

Rep. Mary Moore, D-Birmingham, introduced a bill today that she said was intended to ban the sales of all semiautomatic guns, both rifles and pistols.

“It’s time that we had that conversation in the state of Alabama as well as across the country,” Moore said. “Because it appears as though it’s all right for our children to be killed. And nothing is done about it.”

I think after the tax incentives given to Remington and Kimber to come to Alabama, outlawing the majority of thier products is a bad idea.

I don’t know much about the Democrat constituency of Birmingham, but in North Alabama this would be about as popular as offering to perform circumcisions with a belt sander.

I think we’re safe.
