Professor Grandstand

Miguel covered the story of Professor Charles K. Smith of San Antonio College showing up on the first day of Texas campus carry in body armor.

The professor told the media he did this because “I was just saying I don’t feel safe.”

No.  What he did was grandstanding bullshit.

The whole argument against campus carry is (paraphrasing) “if a professor says something that offends a student with a CCW, the student will lose his/her cool and shoot the professor.”  Hence the “free speech concerns” that are raised by the anti-CCW crowd.

If Professor Charles K. Smith really was afraid of offending a student during a geography lecture, so much that student would shoot him, why would he antagonize his students by wearing body armor to class?  That just screams “I don’t trust you not to be a bunch of trigger happy reactionaries.”

If he was so afraid of his students being so unhinged that they would turn violent over a lecture, why did he even teach?  Seeing as how every day before August 2, they could have reacted violently without a gun, just like the baseball bat wielding snowflakes at Evergreen State.

It wasn’t about his personal safety.  It was about making an anti-gun statement.

Here’s the thing.

Back in 1996, after the Port Arthur Massacre, Australian Prime Minister John Howard gave a speech to a crowd of firearms enthusiasts and hunters in which he advocated for a gun ban.  He did so, with a bullet proof vest poorly concealed under his jacket.  This enraged the crowed, who were deeply offended that the Prime Minister would just assume that a bunch of hunting and shooting clubs would respond with violence.  The media took the backlash of law abiding gun owners offended by being addressed by the Prime Minister in body armor as clear evidence that they were unhinged people who needed to have their guns taken away.

It was a character assassination of Australian gun owners.

I don’t know if Professor Smith knew about the John Howard incident, but I believe he was attempting the same sort of thing: provoking a reaction from law abiding gun owners to prove that he was right to be afraid of them, after insulting them to their faces from a position of authority.

 

Seen but not heard

Christopher Hayes of MSNBC was shocked by the fact that the majority of Americans do want immigrants to learn English.

I can understand why this is so shocking to him. 

It’s not like he has conversations with these people that are longer than “wash windows” while pointing and pantomiming. 

When the help is not supposed to talk, does it really matter what language they speak?

Everything they know is wrong

I think Ronald Reagan described Liberal policy best when he said this:

I saw some stuff on line last night the really makes me wonder what universe Liberals live in.

Ben Shapiro debated Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks.  (Note: if you want to create a hip, liberal news show, don’t name it after a political party that was responsible for the Armenian genocide.)

They debated taxes, when Cenk said this:

I have heard this before.  According to Liberals, the great, booming economy of the US in the 1950’s was BECAUSE the peak income tax rate was 90%, not in spite of it.  Forget that Western Europe and Japan had been bombed flat, Eastern Europe and Russia were under total Stalinist Communism, China was starving under Maoism, and the US was the only Western nation left with a manufacturing capacity that wasn’t having to be rebuilt from WWII.  It was the tax rate that made America successful and if we just went back to a peak 90% income tax for the rich, America will be great again.

They believe this.

MS-13 is the most deadly gang in the US.  They are known for their brutality and raping witnesses to death.  They are killing their way across Long Island.

Trump and Sessions have vowed to fight MS-13.

According to Liberals, fighting MS-13 is emboldening the gang.  The best way to fight them is not antagonize them and remember that MS-13 is a youth gang for immigrant kids (that likes to chop off hands and heads) and remind America that immigrants commit crimes at a lower rate than citizens (which isn’t true, they just conflate legal and illegal immigrants to cover the facts).

These are, of course, the same people who said banning people from nations overrun with terrorists is a recruiting tool for ISIS and will embolden terrorism.

On every single point they are wrong.

“If we raise the peak income tax to 90%, the economy will thrive.”

“If we try to stop a deadly, drug and sex trafficking gang, they will grow in power.”

“If we try and prevent terrorists from entering the country, we’ll make ourselves less safe.”

They seem to think they can make America great by taxing the pants off of law abiding citizens while letting violent gangs and radical Islamist run amok.

What color is the sky in the world these people live in?

Who can believe this?  It is ludicrous.

I’m beginning to believe that it’s not Ronald Reagan that described these people accurately, but Weird Al Yankovic when he sang:

Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so
Important doesn’t matter

Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong

I doubt it

Zinnia Jones is a progressive, trans, social justice activist and clearly insane person.

She posted something about gun control on her twitter, which I hat to get the long way around because she doesn’t post publicly.

Taking guns away from people would be uneventful?

Really?

This person is clearly confused about everything in her life.

I live in Alabama, where 57.2% of people own guns.  Lets say they get banned at the federal level.

I know it can’t happen, but lets say it did.  Trump gets impeached.  Hillary gets the presidency because she won the popular vote.  Gorsuch is taken of SCOTUS because Turmp didn’t count and his position gets filled by Obama, and they overturn they decide the 2A means that ONLY state sponsored militias can own guns.

Who is going to enforce the gun ban?  Alabama police?  They are going to go door to door and take guns away from family and neighbors.  How many warrants will they need to search every home for the guns that weren’t lost in boating accidents?

The Alabama National Guard?  Same thing as above.

They will have to send law enforcement from DC down here to do that job.

Let me tell you something.  There are plenty of people down here that sit around and fantasize about shooting an invading army of northern bureaucrats to get revenge for what the Army of the Potomac did to great-great-grandpappy.

You go right ahead and send a bunch of Yankees down south to take our guns away.

I don’t think “uneventful” would be the word to describe what happens.

You’d have an easier time convincing these people that a man should not refuse to date a “woman” with a penis, as you would that he should hand over his guns to DC bureaucrats without a fight.

 

Screw HBO

Game of Thrones is coming to an end.  Thank god.

HBO has decided to replace it with a new show called Confederate.

HBO has given a straight-to-series order to Confederate from Emmy-winning GoT creators, writers, and producers David Benioff and Dan Weiss.

 The show “chronicles the events leading to the Third American Civil War. The series takes place in an alternate timeline, where the southern states have successfully seceded from the Union, giving rise to a nation in which slavery remains legal and has evolved into a modern institution. The story follows a broad swath of characters on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Demilitarized Zone – freedom fighters, slave hunters, politicians, abolitionists, journalists, the executives of a slave-holding conglomerate and the families of people in their thrall.”

On behalf of Southerners and those with a modicum of understanding about economics, FUCK YOU.

Let’s be honest.  This show is about beating up on the South for being a bunch of racists.

Let’s forget the moral argument against slavery for a minute.  Let’s forget that  just about every Western nation abolished slavers in the mid to late 1800’s.

Let’s focus entirely on the practical issue of slavery here.

For their show to make sense, they have to throw out EVERY economic textbook and craft a shittier premise than Bernie Sanders’ understanding of single payer healthcare.

Slavery exists today only in third world shit-holes.  Why?  Because it is economically unfeasible in a technologically advanced world.

This is a modern John Deere cotton picking machine.

Ask yourself this question: how many slaves would you have to have and how hard would you have to whip them to get them to pick cotton by hand that fast.

The answer is: it’s not humanly possible.   The return on investment of slaves would be orders of magnitude less than any modern industrialized agricultural equipment.  The US is the 3rd largest food producer in the world, with less than 2% of the population actually engaged in farming.  In 1860,  53% of the population was engaged in agriculture.  That decrease is entirely driven by technology, not beating slaves into doing more labor.

Today, we are seeing robots replace migrant farm workers.  They are faster, don’t damage the produce, and they don’t shit in the lettuce fields and cause e. coli outbreaks.

But J. Kb.  What about manufacturing, heavy industry, mining?

Well, I work in manufacturing.  Robots have taken over for the same reasons.

Even when you have to have stuff hand assembled, slaves are a poor choice.  One of the biggest issues we have is low skilled workers.  We need skilled people to run the equipment, know what they are doing, and build quality products.

It used to be against the law to teach a slave to read and write.  So tell me how you get an educated workforce that knows how to read machine drawings and import CAD files into a CNC and can’t read or write?

You can’t.

The industrial revolution ended the economic viability of slavery in large scale production.

But the writers of this show wont think about that.

This is Trump’s America, and they just want to beat up on the South.  They will be as cruel to us as they are to the illegal immigrants they hire as nannies, housekeepers, and gardeners.

Heathens

I caught this over at Twitchy.

That right there is the definition of faith.  That is politics as a religion.

What happens when he sins?  Does he go to the senate building to confess?  Does Nancy Pelosi have him say five Hail Hillarys and five Our Obamas and leave a donation to Planned Parenthood?  When the Obama library is built, we he have to take a pilgrimage to it?

Let me tell you the No. 1 lesson I lave learned from Jewish History:

The mercy of big government will eventually run out and we will either be expelled or killed by it.

That includes the US.  Yes.  The beatified Franklin Delano Roosevelt knew about the Holocaust and ignored it in favor of isolationism.

Murphy puts his faith in the Church of Big Government and it is horrifying.

I am not just an agnostic but a infidel to his religion.

Quick note to the Dems

I didn’t vote for Donald Trump.  I didn’t support him during the primary.

I have misgivings about how he’s going to “built the wall” and how we are going to pay for it.

Then I read something like this: ICE not alerted when sex assault suspect released from jail in 2016, official says.

This illegal immigrant has sexually assaulted two women, one of whom was 65.  Is transient.  Has multiple probation violations, and has been hanging out in Portland because it is a sanctuary city.

This is the kicker:

According to court documents filed in March 2017, Martinez has a history of illegal entry into the United States. He has been a transient in the Portland area for more than a year and has been deported 20 times.

Twenty time.  This rapist and career criminal has been deported twenty times for various crimes and Portland is letting him hang around.

Shit like this drives me mad.

Shit like this makes me willing to throw the anchor babies out with the bathwater.

Shit like this makes me want to scream the words of the famous Lawgiver of Sparta, Lycurgus,a city is well-fortified which has a wall of men instead of brick,” and have Trump deploy the Marines to the border to shoot anything coming across on sight.

Forget “the wall.”  Now I want Trump to turn the Mexican-American border into the longest, most densely packed, minefield in the world.

Next time we deport this guy, don’t bother landing the plane.  Just tell him to tuck and roll and shove him out at 15,000 feet.

Do you understand that for ever reaction there is an opposite reaction?  When you bend over backwards to protect a multiple rapist and criminal like this over the interest of US citizens there is an opposite reaction.  I want to challenge the idea the Constitutional rights belong to anybody within our borders.  I’m willing to go all Roman Law and have Constitutional protections only apply to citizens and lawful residents so we can dispose of multi time illegal rapists without wasting the court’s time.

Do you get it now?

If you don’t uphold the law to protect Americans, there will be push back, and I guarantee you won’t like the push back.

Just wait until Americans discoverer when their wives, daughters, sisters, and mothers can be raped by illegals with impunity because Liberals will protect the illegals at all costs.

You want lynch mobs? Because that’s how you let lynch mobs.
