So President Donald Trump Tweeted some right wing propaganda about misbehaving Muslims in Britain.

The British, in what is becoming a common idea of no platforming are reconsidering a state visit by Trump, while the Prime Minister criticized Trump on Twitter.

Trump fired back at the British PM sending this message.

.@Theresa_May, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 30, 2017

Of course everybody is offended.  Stephen Colbert went on TV to apologize to the PM and beg for America to come back, because he yearns to be a subject rather than a free citizen.

Then: Plot to blow up Theresa May is foiled: Suicide bombers armed with knives planned to murder the Prime Minister in Downing Street, claims MI5.

Excelling fucking timing Muhammad.  Well done.

The most infuriating thing about Trump on shit like that is that he’s right.  He’s a rude, loudmouth, asshole, but he’s right.  Now the PM has egg on her face.  Watch as media coverage on this vanishes like a fart in the wind.

The College of Charleston bought a 3D printer.  The Computer Science  Department Chair Sebastian van Delden had to send out an email containing this message.

“There will be absolutely no 3D printing of objects that remotely resemble weapons (guns, knives, etc) using the department’s 3D printers.  I have confiscated the print job that was running last night.  If you feel yourself asking yourself the question ‘I wonder if this is an appropriate print job?’ then stop right there, because that’s how you know it is not.”

I wonder if van Delden is Social Justice Warrior pantywaist or if he enjoys pissing into the wind.

I spent 11 years of my life in various engineering department.  Here is one observed law of engineering I noticed:

If you ask a group of 20 engineers to break into teams of two, and do any design project they want, you will get nine catapults and trebuchets and one bridge.

Being a material scientist, in every general materials science course I ever took, when the professor gave the assignment: do an X minute long presentation about an engineered material for a specific application (which is a common assignment).  You are guaranteed to get at least one presentation on  the following subjects: golf clubs, compound bows, gun barrels, race car components.

Even the word “engineer” comes from weaponry.  The word engineer means “constructor of an engine” and the original engines were war engines (also known as siege engines), meaning catapults, ballistas, and other machines for breaching fortifications.

Trying to stop engineers from building anything that looks like a weapon is both futile and an affront to the origin of our profession.

I read Miguel’s post Kids nowadays need to learn some history.

It struck a nerve with me because it touched on an issue that had bothered me for a while.

It is time that we get rid of the Latino/Latina/Latinx demographic.  It is racist and it makes no sense.  The new census designation of “non-white Hispanic” is nearly as bad.

What does it mean?  According to the US Census, almost nothing.

“Hispanic or Latino” refers to a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of
race.

So they could be full blooded white European of noble Spanish (meaning from Spain) heritage, which means they shade DNA with the French and German.  Remember King Charles II of Spain was a Habsburg.  He was such a Hubsburg that his parents, grandparents, and great grandparents were Habsburgs too.

Not to mention a lot of people in Spain have Arabic or North African heritage form the time of the Moorish Empire.

Latino could also mean that a person who is genetically related to the Pueblo, Navajo, Anasazi or any of the other tribes that lived in the American South West.  If there were north of the border they would be Native Americans, but because in the 1800’s they were south of an arbitrary border, they are now Latino.

That of course doesn’t include the people who are of native Central or South American heritage, who are genetically Inca, Aztec, Olmec, native Caribbean Islanders, or anything else.

Then there are the many more people who are a mix of native tribe, European, and possibly freed or runaway African slaves.

The problem is the Left has decided that Latino/Latina is a identity group in the POC umbrella.  This means benefiting from identity politics victim cred.

My best fried was born in America to Venezuelan immigrant parents and is bilingual.  That makes him Latino.

He has a family coat of Arms that he can trace all the way back to Spain on one side and Monaco on the other.  His grandfather lived in a Villa on the French Riviera until he passed.

My poor oppressed Latino buddy who white Liberals condescend to thinking that he’s the offspring of Mexican migrants (be was born in Oklahoma because his parents were in the educated people Oil Industry, not picking lettuce).

There is no unifying Latino/Latina experience.  Hell, even the language is totally different.  Try watching an Argentinian and a Puerto Rican have a conversation.  It’s like watching a person speaking Partisan French try to talk to someone speaking Haitian Creole.  Deep South American English is closer to Cockney than some of the colonial Spanish or French dialects to each other.

This demographic breakdown could be anything of any native American, European, or African ethnicity, socioeconomic, or cultural background.

Latino/Latina can really be nothing more than “I called my grandmother Abuelita so I deserve Social Justice victim status.”

Granted the Census definition of white is just as bad.

“White” refers to a person having origins in any of the original peoples
of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicated their race(s) as “White” or reported entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan, or Caucasian.

But nobody on college campuses or in politics is really rushing to identify as white if they have one drop of anything else in them.

These demographic breakdowns are so bad, so pointless, it is time to get rid of them.  They mean practically nothing except for their ability to isolate people into groups and fight.

For all of you curious about Miguel’s post, my wife gave birth to a baby girl on Monday.   Finagle’s Law being a thing, it happened at 2:30 in the morning so we are all very tired. 

I do this anonymously to protect the innocent but I will give you a hint.

My wife had already told me I cannot ask for 100 Palestinian foreskins for her dowery.

I’m wondering if the rise in the popularity of fidget spinners coincides with the rise in gender neutrality?

When I was a young man, I didn’t need a plastic thing to fiddle with, I had parts to scratch. The game was getting a quick itch in without anybody noticing.

If you can’t acknowledge that you have dangling boy parts but still have the instinctual desire to scratch them, you are going to need something else to busy your hands with. 

Just a thought…

Being in the gun world today is a lot like being with Ford or GM in the 1970’s.  Once upon a time, if you wanted a shotgun, your choices were Remington or Winchester.  Maybe if you had some money, you could buy a Browning.  No one imagined that one day you could be shotguns from Turkey or China, handguns from Brazil, Argentina, Turkey, Croatia, or Slovakia.  It’s a different world and competition is rough, costs had to be cut.

Everybody makes mistakes and yes there have been quality issues, but believe me, across the industry, people are trying their best.  No company wants to fail.

Still, there are haters out there, and I believe The Truth About Guns is where they hang out.  God forbid Remington or Taurus releases ANYTHING, they will jump on it and savage it like jackals on a wounded gazelle.

An article was published on the new limited double stack R1’s put out by Remington.  The comments are fucking brutal, and all from people who haven’t shot the gun.  Seriously, it seems like the people who hang out at TTAG think the entire gun world should be Glock and Daniel Defense and everybody else can fuck off and die.

I swear, Remington, Taurus, or one of the other targeted brands could release a gun to glowing reviews and nothing would matter.

So I got my new Rem/Taurus/etc. pistol.  First of all, the fit an finish were perfect.  The gun was the most comfortable thing I ever held in my hand ever.  The grip texture was at the same time 100% secure like grip tape but soft and hot-spot free like a baby’s bottom.  

Some people say that guns can be art.  If that is true, this ranks somewhere above the Pieta or David as a monument craftsmanship.

The gun ran flawlessly.  It ran everything I put through it from reloads to steel case to premium +P JHP, even a few rounds of the wrong caliber that mixed in the bucket.  The gun didn’t care.

Accuracy was incredible.  I didn’t know it was possible to ring a gong at 600 yard with a handgun, but we were doing it.  It was impossible to miss with it, like it was magic.

The shooting experience was unlike anything I had experienced before.  When I first picked up the gun, I felt a tingle run through my body.  It felt “right” like I was one with the gun.  It became an extension of my body.  It was a religious experience.  

That night, after I got home from the range, I noticed that my dick had gotten bigger and my girlfriend said I an never performed like that before.  Stepping out of the post coital shower, I noticed that I looked a little more tone than I had that morning.

The next day when I got to work, my boss took me aside and said there was something new about me.  He couldn’t say exactly what it was, but he gave me a YUGE raise and promotion and said he was going to put me on the fast track to upper management.  

The only thing differently was that I had shot this new gun.  It was entirely the gun.  

There are not enough stars in the universe to give to this masterpiece of firearms technology.

The TTAG comments would all be:

If you told me I’d have sex with my own mother or could only carry a Remington/Taurus/[other hated brand], I’d call up from the basement “hey mom, get your ass down here.

These are just some damn unhappy people.

The “anti-racism” activist Tim Wise went to Twitter to voice his opinion on the Alabama Senate race.

What a stupid, god-damned, fuck – shit he is.

What the fuck does he think white people do in Alabama?  Drink moonshine and spray black people with firehoses? Is his knowledge of the Alabama economy any more current than 1865?

From where I am sitting in Alabama, I am within a 20 minute drive of Toyota Motor Manufacturing where most of Toyota’s truck and SUV engines are made, Polaris Industries, Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Remington, Carpenter Technology powder metallurgy products, Raytheon, Cummings Aerospace, KBR, Bodycote, Nucor Steel, and of course NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and US Army Redstone Arsenal.

If it goes into space, some part of it came out if came out of northern Alabama.  If it’s s Toyota and not a hybrid, some part of it came out of northern Alabama.   If it flies in defense of our nation, some part of it came out of northern Alabama. If it says Marlin, Bushmaster, DPMS, or Remington other than the Model 700 or Shotgun, it came out of northern Alabama.

Is this guy seriously suggesting that all of that be destroyed over a Senate election?

Can all of that be destroyed by one sniveling, self-hating, SJW dipshit organizing a boycott on Twitter?

I get that Roy Moore sucks.  Ignoring the allegations of sexual misconduct, he’s the type of grandstanding anti establishment figure that gives anti establishment types a bad name. 

Doug Jones is a cookie cutter Democrat who could be from California or New England as easily as Alabama.  

It’s a shitty choice.

Wise wants to destroy the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people, cripple this nation’s aerospace industry, and hold back defense and space exploration over it.

Fuck that guy.
