Putting the Pit Bull Issue Down

Jan 17, 2018 J. Kb 17 comments

Some people didn’t take too kindly to my last post, and the update, about pit bulls.

So I am going to revisit the issue one more time.  This time, with no fucks left.

At this point, I don’t care what the comments are that are left.  You can accuse me of being the evil spawn of Michael Bloomberg and Diane Feinstein, I really don’t give a shit.

Oklahoma: a 3 year old girl was mauled to death by the family pit bull.

Georgia, two pit bulls kill a 2 year old toddler.

Kentucky, a pit bull kills a 14 month old little girl.

Wisconsin, two pit bulls maul a 14 month old boy to death.

Massachusetts: two pit bulls maul a 7 year old boy to death.

Kentucky, a pit bull kills a woman and injures her husband.

Illinois, a pit bull kills an elderly woman.

Louisiana, a pit bull kills a woman at a pet hotel.

Virginia, a 22 year old woman was killed by her own pit bulls while taking them for a walk.

Washington, a UPS driver was mauled by pit bulls while making a delivery.

Florida, a 5 year old girl was mauled by a pit bull.

 

Indiana, two women were attacked by pit bulls while jogging.

Florida, a pit bull attack causes a woman to lose her left arm.

Connecticut, a woman lost one arm and one hand in a pit bull attack.

Colorado, a 10 year old boy lost an arm when attacked by three pit bulls.

South Carolina, a pit bull rips off a woman’s arm.

New Jersey, an 8 year old girl hat to have her arm reattached after a pit bull attack.

Emily Ruckle pauses outside her family’s car as she visits the Newark Police Department on the way home from the hospital after a severe dog attack last month, Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2014.

Michigan, a 10  year old girl hat to have her arm reattached after a pit bull attack.

Georgia, an 8 year old girl lost her left arm when attacked by two pit bulls.

Michigan, a 10 year old girl lost a foot when attacked by two pit bulls.

Kansas, two pit bull got loose from their owner and terrorized a park.

Video from the park:

Here is a video of a woman walking her two pit bulls.  The dogs see a neighbor’s cat in the driveway.  They pull the woman walking them off her feet and kill the cat.  The woman was unable to control her dogs.

In Canada, pit bulls were the cause of the most fatal dog bites.

Same in New Zealand, with data backed up from the New Zealand medical journal.

In the US, 51% of dog bites that required surgery were from pit bulls, rottweilers were the second highest at 9%.

Pit bulls on the loose are a menace to cities.

–

A pit bull is not like a gun.  A gun is not alive.  An assault rifle just sitting there, untouched will do nothing but rust away.  Pit bulls are alive.  They attack their owners, they get out of yards and attack strangers.  So many of the above stories involve a pit bull or several that got loose.  Assault rifles do not break out of fenced yards and tear off childrens’ arms.

You can tell me other dogs bite.  Sure.  I didn’t find one report of a basset hound hearing off a child’s arm.

You can say I’m stereotyping a breed.  You know what?  When the guy with the beard in a crowded place yells “Allah Akbar” and pulls out a knife, I don’t think he’s there to sell me Cutco.  Past predicts future.

Have I made myself perfectly fucking clear yet?

I don’t trust pit bulls.  At fucking all.

I’m tired of being nice, it’s the breed.  Shitty owners make them worse, but it is definitely the breed.  The owners don’t help as the popular opinion seems to be that pit bull owners are anti-social, trash, and gangsters.

You can tell me that you knew or had the sweetest pit bull ever who would never hurt anybody.  Guess what?  I once saw a leprechaun fucking a unicorn.

So allow me finalize my thoughts.

If I see your pit bull loose, roaming the neighborhood, I am going to shoot it.

If your pit bull gets away from you on its lead and starts heading towards me, or my kids, or my dogs, or anybody else’s kids, I am going to shoot it.

And…

If you try to pick a fight with me because I was forced to shoot your hyper aggressive dog, I have no qualms about shooting you too.

My base line assumption is that a hyper aggressive, violent dog is owned by a hyper aggressive, violent person.

Between your dog and my kids and their limbs, it’s not a choice.  Your dog is going to die.  No benefit of the doubt will be given.

I’ve done a lot of posts about aggressive cops and bad shoots.  Well here is a good one.

Are we clear now?

The Platform of Chelsea Manning

Jan 17, 2018 J. Kb 9 comments

I’m going to keep covering the Manning Campaign.  This is the Left wing version of the election of Trump.

If Trump was the Right saying that they were done with career politicians and they wanted a fighter than Manning is the Left saying they are done with career politicians and want a traitor in office.

So here are a few Tweets from his Twitter feed from only the last week.

This would end the economy.  What percent of Americans who got a UBI would never work?  What percent would decide that a life of subsidized indolence is all they want?

Manning is part of the no boarders crowd.

If you combine these first two Tweets, it seems like his platform is let anybody into America who wants to come here and then give them a basic income at tax payer expense.

We might as well just up and forfeit the nation because it would invite just about every person from every third world, shithole, nation on earth to live for free on the American taxpayer’s dime.

Nope.  Just nope.  This is not the systematic hunting down and extermination of people because of their religion or ethnicity.  These are people who are arresting criminals who willfully violated federal law.  But seeing as how he violated a law that stood in the way of his politics, it’s obvious he doesn’t actually care about the law.

Here is the Fox Tweet.

There are roughly 323 Million people in the US.  That puts the “full blown domestic occupation” at 0.29% or 1 cop for every 346 people.

When the German army invaded France, they used 3.3 Million troops to take a country of roughly 41 Million people.   That means the German army had 1 solder for every 12 Frenchmen.  A ratio of 1:346 is not an occupying force.  That’s like saying Austin, Texas is occupying the United States.

But why let facts get in the way of emoji laden hysterics.

Chelsea Manning is a full blown anti-Cop, anti-functioning goverment, anti-boarders, redistributive nutjob.  This is the Antifa platform.

You would think that taking him down would be easy, but he is a god damned darling of the Left.

The tide shifts in Hollywood

Jan 16, 2018 J. Kb 3 comments

The Trump effect on Hollywood is going to be interesting.

There are two trailers for movies coming out in 2018 that have blown my mind.

First is CHAPPAQUIDDICK:

Holy fucking shit, does that make the Lion of the Senate and the entire Kennedy clan look like a bunch of fucking monsters.

The other is 15:17 to Paris:

A move about the 2015 Thalys attack, when three off duty American military personnel kicked the shit out of terrorists on a train in France.

If Hillary were president, I doubt either of these movies would have been made.

This post starts as something that recently came to my attention but the original post goes back a year.

Melinda Byerley is the founder and owner of Timeshare CMO.  In January of 2017, she sent out a Tweet (her account is now gone) in which she posted this Facebook screen capture.

A tolerant liberal called Middle America a shithole.

Ms. Byerley has spent the last 14 years in Silicon Valley.  She is based in San Francisco.

Let’s talk about shitholes.  San Francisco is one, literally.  It is a city filled with the excrement of homeless people.  Also needles.  Shit and needles fill the streets and alleyways of the City by the Bay.

There is an interactive map of where homeless people are shitting to help locals avoid the worst of it.

At the state level, California is the poverty capital of America.

Taxes are driving billions of dollars of business out of the state.

Investors has been tracking the business leaving the state, a trend which has been going up.

Toyota pulled 3,000 jobs out of California and moved them to Texas.

Not just did Toyota pull out of California but “Toyota Motor Corp. and Mazda Motor Corp. announced in August a joint venture to build a $1.6 billion assembly plant in the U.S. which would create 4,000 jobs and be up and running by 2021.”

Where are they going to built their plant?  San Fran-Shithole?  Nope.

Huntsville, Alabama.  Rocket City, USA.

So what does all that elitism in Silicon Valley get them?

One of the second highest costs of living in North America and streets full of human shit.

Us in “shithole” Middle America are happy to take the jobs you are hemorrhaging.

When Democrats were Republicans

Jan 16, 2018 J. Kb 1 comment

I wanted left a comment on Miguel’s last post, that was until today, my favorite quote by Daniel Patrick Moynihan:

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.

Today I found a quote by the beloved, moderate, “gentleman from New York” Democrat Senator, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, when he was ambassador to India:

“Food growing is the first thing you do when you come down out of the trees. The question is, how come the United States can grow food and you can’t?”

Seems to me like he was asking the question “Why is India such a shithole?”

The University is Dead

Jan 16, 2018 J. Kb 6 comments

It started with CNN this morning.

Excuse me CNN, but “he was a socialist before it was cool” is a fucking awful sentiment.  I know that socialism is hip among the privileged Left in America, but in reality socialism isn’t cool.  It end up with people eating from garbage dumps and beating livestock to death with rocks like a scene from a zombie apocalypse movie.

Righteous voices on the internet had none of CNN’s bullshit.

Enter professor Anthony Zenkus of the Columbia School of Social Work.

This is going full fucking retard.

The cause(s) of WWI is/are difficult to understand.  Ask ten different history experts and you get ten different answers.  What is clear is that there were several factors that contributed to the war such as a series of interconnecting alliances, a really nasty game of family feud between the last remaining monarchs of major European states, ethno-nationalism of various groups under the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  The one thing everyone can agree on was that it was kicked off by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian national.

Nowhere in any of that was “capitalism” listed as a cause.

WWII is a little easier to explain.  An economically depressed Germany was taken over by a tyrant named Adolf Hitler.  Hitler believed in Nationalsozialismus or National Socialism.  The political party he lead was called the NAZI party, which is an acronym for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, translated to English as National-Socialist German Workers’ Party.  Hitler invaded Germany’s neighbors because he wanted lebensraum or “living space.”  Then he invaded Russia, mostly for their Oil.  It all went down hill after that.  

Hitler was a socialist.  He believed in national socialism, really wasn’t all that much different from Stalin’s Socialism in One Country idea.  The only ideological difference between Hitler and Stalin was who was going to be in charge.

Again, nowhere in any historically accurate understanding of events was capitalism a factor.

Then it gets worse.

Hitler was a socialist.  That’s what he called his party.  Hitler liked Henry Ford because Ford published a book called The International Jew which Hitler loved.  They bonded over mutual hatred of the Jews, not capitalism.

But this is what this sick fuck believes about world history.

His anti-capitalist, pro-socialist bullshit is the core of his existence.

He gave a TEDx talk about it.

His thesis in a nutshell: capitalism hurts children.

This comes from some research that shows that growing up poor has a negative effect on brain development.

He makes a very clear case staring at 9:31 that he believes wealth needs to be taken from the rich and given to the poor until everybody has a “middle class” standard of living, in a radical wealth redistribution scheme.  His justification is that above “middle class” there is no amount of money that improves childhood development, so the rich don’t need anything above “middle class” and that should go to the poor.

Of course what will really happen is that we all end up eating out of garbage dumps and killing our neighbors’ dogs for food, but never mind that.

The problem is that America has a “compassion shortage,” which is odd because his form of compassion has lead to food shortages elsewhere in the world.

Then he jumps over to a story about how David Bowie helped bring down the Berlin Wall.  Youths in East Germany rioted when they heard David Bowie blasting music over the Berlin Wall from a concert in West Germany.

That East Germany was the anti-capitalist, socialist Germany and West Germany was the free, capitalist society blows right by him.  The riot was by the starving, oppressed people in the socialist country wanting what they heard in the capitalist country, not the other way around.

Nobody from West Germany risked getting shot in the back to hop over the wall to East Germany saying “I got to get me some of that Soviet lifestyle.”  Nobody risks their life on a homemade raft to float from Miami to Cuba.  The guy undoes his entire thesis with his anecdote and is too much of a true believer fuck-wit to get it.

And this fuck-wit teaches college.

Basic facts are outside the realm of his grasp.  What would happen if you gave every American a basic living wage of $48K per year?  Well, $48K per year would suddenly be worthless as (hyper) inflation caught up with us as – I guarantee – at least one quarter (if not more) of the population said “now that I have a living wage, I’m not going to work anymore.”

This idiot professor retweeted this like it was some kind of wisdom.

https://twitter.com/TheTweetwit/status/952515032398491653

Except that wealth is not exclusionary.  When one person gets a raise, somebody else doesn’t get a pay cut accordingly.

And he teaches this to college students.

I’m all for free speech, but at some point we need to draw a line in the sand and say a public university can’t hire people into a classroom that doesn’t teach basic objective facts, like, say, Hitler was a capitalist.

I don’t believe that freedom of speech protects someone with no medical education to walk into a classroom and teach med students that they don’t have to scrub up before surgery because the power of positive thinking will protect patients.

What do we do about it?

Manning is going to win

Jan 16, 2018 J. Kb 9 comments

Yesterday I said that Chelsea Manning was running for Senate in Maryland and is going to win.

This is why.

From The Intercept, written by Glenn Greenwald:

Centrist Dems Launch Smear Campaign Against Young Trans Woman, All to Keep an Old Straight White Man in Power.

According to  popular voice in the far Left media

OVER THE WEEKEND, Chelsea Manning announced her candidacy for the U.S. Senate by posting a video outlining the broad themes of her campaign. Manning, a whistleblower who served seven years in a U.S. military brig for exposing systemic U.S. war crimes, was held under prison conditions so brutal that the U.N. formally denounced them as “inhumane.”

While her whistleblowing made her a hero around the world, Manning has also now become an icon of LGBT equality and trans rights with an act of profound bravery that at least matches, if not surpasses, her whistleblowing. She announced her transition, and demanded the dignity and treatment to which she was entitled, while she was imprisoned in the middle of a sprawling U.S. military base, in a brig at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

You see, Chelsea manning is a hero and a political prisoner.  A victim of the evil United States for being just too pure at heart and a victimized trans person.

The UN (yeah, the same UN that hates America and Israel and puts Nigeria, Iraq, Cuba, and Afghanistan on the Human Rights council) decided that Manning’s confinement was equivalent to torture.  That fact that he was put in solitary because he was passing classified information to our enemies (by way of Wikileaks) and the military wanted to cut off his access to the outside world was not a factor.

Manning’s opponent in the Democratic Party primary is one of the most standard, banal, typical, privileged and mediocre politicians in the U.S. Congress: Benjamin Cardin, a 74-year-old white, straight man who is seeking his third six-year Senate term. Cardin’s decades-long career as a politician from the start has been steeped in unearned privilege: he first won elective office back in 1966, when his uncle, Maurice Cardin, gave up his seat in order to bequeath it to his nephew Benjamin. With this dynastic privilege as his base, he has spent the last 50 years climbing the political ladder in Maryland.

The current Senator is a white guy of privilege, which regardless of political alignment,  makes him literally the devil and a worse version of Hitler.

Cardin has remarkably few achievements for being in Congress for so many years. One of his few distinctions is that he has become one of the Senate’s most reliable and loyal supporters of AIPAC’s agenda and the Israeli government, if not the single most loyal. In 2015, he joined with Lindsey Graham in kicking off the annual AIPAC conference, causing neocon columnist Jennifer Rubin to gush about how identical they sounded.

This would be irrelevant except that it’s some good Lefty anti-Israel Jew hatred.  Another good way to smear someone before the radical Left – “he supports Israel.”

Why have so many establishment Democrats so quickly decided to back a white, straight male politician steeped in privilege, while devoting themselves to opposing a candidate who would make history by becoming the first trans woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate, in the process inspiring trans youth around the world and helping to erode the stigma that has made them so vulnerable to discrimination and violence?

Because, maybe, backing identity politics isn’t the best idea when the trans person was convicted of violating the espionage act?

They’ve decided to do this presumably because they find Cardin’s centrist ideology and politics more appealing than Manning’s more radical politics, and believe that this trumps what could be the historic value of Manning’s candidacy. They’ve apparently decided to prioritize their own centrist ideology over the important gender, sexual orientation and trans equality progress that Manning’s victory would ensure.

By all means, support the radical that backs Antifa.  That’s a good way to say that you have a national platform that should be respected.

One can certainly make an argument that the license they’ve granted themselves here – to prioritize ideology and politics over identity – is a reasonable one. But one wonders whether they intend to maintain a monopoly on this license or extend it to others.

Prioritize politics over identity, except when it is the  exhaled victim identity of  trans.  Then by all means put a trans person convicted of violating the espionage act above politics.

If you worry about trans people, you might not want to put a tranny traitor at the forefront of the movement.  Now, not just do I believe that trans people are mentally unstable freaks who want you to call them Xir while they record videos of your daughters peeing in public restrooms, but they are all anti-American traitors as well.  Good job!

This is it, right here.  This is Manning’s entire campaign.  Vote for the trans political prisoner over the privileged rich white guy.

Forget about the treason.  Forget about passing US secrets to our enemies.

This is a victim of the white, cis, hetero patriarchal military industrial complex and its his time to hold power.

Among the radical Chic and far Left, this is a winning strategy.

For the rest of the US, it spells doom.
