Moms Demand Jihad

Moms Demand Action posted this on their Facebook page.

It links to this article ISIS Appreciates the NRA’s Work.

In the United States, you can buy semi-automatic weapon without submitting yourself to a background check, so long as you make your purchase at a gun show. Roughly 90 percent of Americans object to this policy. But the National Rifle Association (NRA) — and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) — like it a lot.

Um… No.

The NRA likes the “gun-show loophole” because the organization is funded by firearms manufacturers who would like to continue making money selling weapons to criminals. (A large majority of the NRA’s members support universal background checks, even as the organization does everything in its power to prevent their enactment.)

This is the most lying bullshit ever told in the history of lying bullshit.

First of all, that 91% of people including the NRA want background checks is right up there with 97% of scientists believe global warming will kill us all bullshit statistics.

I can tell you, as someone who works in the industry, we don’t get up in the morning and say “I really hope some criminal buys one of our guns and shoots up a school so more people go out an buy guns for self defense.”

That is EXACTLY what these fuckers believe.

So, besides criminals and the insane, who could possibly oppose universal background checks?  Gun manufacturers.
They are the ones who call the shots at the NRA, and they are the most important people in the opposition. The manufacturers don’t want anything that interferes with total gun sales and profits.
Background checks would impose a minor burden on gun transactions, but more importantly, limit the size of the market (and therefore, profits) in two ways.
The direct loss of profit comes because closing the current gaping loophole in the background check system will shut off sales to criminals and the mentally ill who are effectively free to buy all the guns they want at gun shows and through private transactions.
But there is also an indirect loss of profit: Cutting off sales to the mentally ill and criminals will reduce crime and thereby reduce the public’s demand for guns for self-protection.
That is some pure cynical evil right there.
The cost of the lawsuit against Remington for Sandy Hook was a whole hell of a lot more than the profit made on that one Bushmaster rifle.
But I digress.  Back to ISIS.

 It isn’t too hard to guess why ISIS also approves of America’s lax gun regulations. But there’s no need for guessing.  “They say the Americans are dumb — they have open gun policies,” an ISIS recruit told the New York Times last year.

Yes, there are some dumb Americans, and they work for NY Magazine.

ISIS doesn’t understand American gun laws, they only know the bullshit that gets printed in the media.  ISIS repeats that bullshit to their followers.  The media then picks up on that and treats ISIS like it is the legal authority on American gun laws.

This is the informational equivalent of the human centipede.

Really, what this comes down to is a new through terminating argument.

“ISIS likes…” is the new “Hitler did…” to make dismiss something.

I just love the idea, though, of Moms Demand Action turning to ISIS for knowledge about Americas gun laws.

Rallying the troops

So the American Health Care Act of 2017 passed the House.

Here is honestly how I feel about this.

The problem with health care in the US is the Federal Government.  The Government has mandated, regulated, subsidized, taxed, and in every other way fucked healthcare like a drunken prom queen.

Obama got elected and decided being balls deep in healthcare wasn’t enough.  Expending as much political capital as he could, against the will of half the country and the healthcare industry, he started fisting healthcare too.

Trump got elected and the GOP looked at healthcare and said “Obama hurt millions of people by jamming his left hand wrist deep up healthcare’s ass.  We need to fix this.”  They did so… by jamming their right hand in healthcare.

Now everybody is screaming about just how much this hurts.  The obvious answer of just pull the goverment out of healthcare is the one thing that they are not going to do.

The goverment left the personal computer, cell phone, and internet industries alone and during the course of my life a cell phone went from something that cost more than the Mercedes is was mounted in to something everyone has in their pocket.  If the goverment left healthcare alone, I’m sure by now you could have gotten an x-ray at the local CVS for $25 and have a radiologist e-mail you the results.

When my dog hurt his back, an x-ray, fentanyl patch, and steroids cost me $75 at the vet.  The same x-ray, fentanyl patch, and steroids cost me $250 for the ER co-pay and would have been over $3,500 had I not already met my deductible.  Next time my back goes out, I’m gonna put a collar on and go to the vet.

All that said, here is where this post was going.

There is a lot of bullshit floating around about the AHCA.  Such as rape and sexual assault being re-existing conditions.  They are not, but who on the left cares?

Think Progress and a bunch of other liberal news sites spread the lie that the GOP had a beer fest to celebrate the passing of the AHCA.

Kurt Eichenwald of Newsweek decided that this lie was worth family members of the GOP dying.


Not fulfilling his daily quota of being an asshole, he decided that the AHCA was worth torturing the GOP.

This is the kind of shit that is eventually going to get people killed.

Claiming that “House Republicans vote to sentence millions of Americans to death” and that they celebrated that with cases of beer and should  be tortured for is is the kind of rhetoric that fuels Antifa and the John Brown Gun Club.

One of these assholes who should know better is going to say something untrue but inflammatory and some unhinged Antifa member is going do something stupid and violent.

Then we will all suffer.

 

Genius idea guys /sarc/

This one is straight out of California.

Residents at three public housing areas now have a mini-fleet of free Zipcars to make their way around Sacramento.

On Friday, Sacramento launched a pilot program that put eight shared electric Kia Souls at public housing sites. Up to 300 residents can apply for on-demand access to the vehicles, with no charge for maintenance, insurance or juicing up the battery.

The program is funded through a $1.3 million grant from the California Air Resources Board using cap-and-trade funds that businesses pay to offset their carbon emissions.

Let me see if I get this right:

People who live in housing paid for by tax payers will now have access to new cars, paid for by business taxes, which are paid for by consumers.

Is there any economic incentive to work in California?

Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg said the cars will help people get to doctors appointments, job interviews and school.

I doubt it.

“It’s providing accessible transportation to low-income people using the newest, cleanest technology,” said Steinberg. “This is the definition of environmental justice.”

Social justice with environmental flavoring.
I give it a week until every one of these cars is trashed and/or stripped down to nothing for scrap or chop-shop parts.
See, I used to live in a housing complex that was stocked with Section 8 tenants.
Rapid City sucked for apartment rentals.  It was next to three Indian reservations.  Landlords who maintained low cost apartments would fill up with subsided housing request from people coming of the Res.  If you didn’t want anybody Section 8 in your apartment, you have to price yourself way above the goverment cost limit.  That meant if you were a poor grad student, you either paid a lot for fancy apartment in a good development or you lived with a bunch of subsidized tenants as your neighbors.
I had a bunch of subsidized neighbors.
God I hated them.  They would steal the appliances out of apartments and sell them to pawn shops before moving out at the middle of the night.
My plumbing backed up on several occasions because grandma would get the apartment and have half-a-dozen grandkids stay with her.  They were “just visiting” for an indefinite period of time.  Seven people in a single apartment sharing one toilet would back it up, and then back up the plumbing for the whole building.
Yeah, I’m a mean sumbitch who doesn’t like people on welfare/EBT/Section 8/etc.  Having your neighbors bang on your door in the middle of the night wanting to come in and stay with you because they didn’t pay their gas and electric bills and the utility companies restricted their use; or come by and ask for food because they saw you carrying bags of groceries inside will do that to you.
Having lived through all that, I’m sure that the $1.3 million dollar grant is going to be turned into shit in a week.
Economists understand this, it is called the Tragedy of the Commons.
Here is EconPop to explain it to you.
https://youtu.be/g9Og4qkn67o?t=3m36s
Since California is where economic theory goes to get murdered by political ideology, nobody responsible for this when it turns into a disaster, will be held accountable.  It was done with the best of “environmental justice” intentions.
All I can say is that after reading shit like this, I want to stop paying taxes, and instead just want to send a monthly check to NASA and the DOD.  Fuck everything else.  These people are too stupid to handle my money.

St. Trayvon of Florida

Florida Memorial University is awarding Treyvon Martin a posthumous degree.

At its commencement ceremony on May 13, Florida Memorial University will present a posthumous honorary degree to Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager killed by George Zimmerman five years ago.

The private university announced Wednesday that Martin’s parents, Sabrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, will accept a bachelor of science degree in aeronautical science with a concentration in flight education on behalf of their son.

The degree is in “honor of the steps he took during his young life toward becoming a pilot,” the school said in a Facebook post.  Florida Memorial’s Department of Aviation and Safety has a designated Cessna pilot training center, and the school also houses the Trayvon Martin Foundation. It is based in Miami Gardens, where Trayvon Martin lived with his father.

When I first heard honorary degree, I figured a Doctor of Letters.  Those are worthless honoraries.  Nope, he gets a real BS in aviation science.   That’s a serious degree.  It’s sad to know that it’s is now been reduced to a worthless piece of paper by the school.

I feel bad for the students who earned that degree to find out its now a fancy bit of ass wipe paper.

Why aviation science?   Apparently Treyvon wanted to be a pilot.  I wonder how having drugs in his system played into that since drug use is the fastest way to not get FAA certification.

Never mind.  The cult of St. Trayvon wanted to bestow another offering to their incorruptible. 

Just another school that responsible business owners won’t hire from. 

Antifa Basic Training

This video has been making its way around the internet.  I have searched, and have seen no evidence that it is a hoax or a fraud, or is in anyway anything other what it appears to be.

A group of Antifa in Arizona have created the John Brown Gun Club.  John Brown is in reference to the millitant abolitionist John Brown, who staged the raid on the arsenal at Harpers Ferry.  John Brown became a martyr for the anti-slavery movement and northern extremists prior to the Civil War.

In this case the Antifa group that created the gun club is called Redneck Revolt and is a Communist militia that wants to “put the red back in redneck.

The history of the white working class is one full of resistance, collectively and individually, against the rich elite that hold power over all of our lives. From massive armed uprisings like the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921, to the resistance to coal mining in predominately white rural Appalachia today, white working people have been in conflict with those that uphold predatory economic, political, and social systems.

The history of the white working class is also one filled with collaboration with those same rich elite power holders. White working people have played the role of footsoldiers for the political and economic elite, participating in genocide, enslavement of other peoples, and overall protectors of the ruling class. White working class participation in state and paramilitary organizations and formations like the Ku Klux Klan, the Minutemen, the U.S. Armed Forces, and the Council of Conservative Citizens has undermined the struggle for freedom among all people.

It is with these conflicting histories in mind that the authors of this blog hope to incite a movement amongst white working people that works toward the total liberation of all working people, regardless of skin color, religious background, sexual orientation, gender identity, nationality, or any other division that bosses and politicians have used to fragment movements for social, political, and economic freedom.

They want to foment a worker’s uprising in the US.

The John Brown Gun Club is where Redneck Revolt/Antifa is training to fight their worker’s uprising.

What is the point of declaring war if your army isn’t ready?

From their own blog post, they want to style themselves after the workers that fought the Battle of Blair Mountain.  These people aren’t a bunch of workers in debt bondage who were paid in script, and the people they want to war against are not the owners of the mine that bribed the local goverment to enforce the debt bond.  Times have changed.

These people are training to fight Mr. and Mrs. Middle Class who didn’t vote for Bernie.  These are not an enslaved people fighting for their freedom, they are fighting to impose their Communist system on the rest of us.

I have seen comments that their video is “hilarious.”  Sure, their form is bad, their accuracy sucks, they are a bunch of Commmie n00bs with guns.

There are only two things I have to say to that:

One, they are practicing.

Two, bad tactics and training will loose you the war, but throw enough rounds down range and you are bound to hit something.  Videos of Islamic Insurgents in war are a clown show to watch, but they still cause casualties.  You don’t have to be an operator to kill someone, just lucky.

These n00bs can kill people and seem to be willing to do so.

This Antifa shit is getting out of hand.

War is officially declared

This is a post from the official Boston Antifa Facebook Page.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you.  This group is now flying a flag with an outright statement that it will use violent force to take away your freedoms.

The Gadsden flag is quite clear on its message: leave me alone.

Antifa is wants to be the boot stamping in a human face forever.

They can couch their stance as fighting to stand up for the little guy.

They can put out cartoons making it look like they are freedom fighters.

But with that flag, the mask has slipped.  They have made it crystal clear that your desire to be left alone will not be respected.  If you are not in the Black Bloc, you are against them.  If you are not wearing the boot, it will be put on your neck.  There is no slight against them too mild that it is not seen as provocation.

This is the same group that threatened to dox a reporter for insulting them on Twitter.

This is a declaration of war against anybody who enjoys their civil rights and freedom.

All I can say to this is:

You motherfuckers better be absolutely sure you know what you’re getting into.  

The Gadsden Flag is emblazoned with an American Eastern Diamond Back Rattlesnake.  There is a meaning in choosing an aggressive, venomous snake to represent us.  It’s not a smart move to try and grab one, like the fist on their flag is doing.  That usually ends up bad for the person that tries.

Attempt to tread on me and I will introduce them to another item emblazoned   aggressive, venomous snake on it: a Bushmaster.

If the people I know with DTOM stickers on their trucks are representative of a fraction of those who subscribe to that belief, it is not going to be stick fight with sign poles and batting helmets.  Antifa street medics better start brushing up on how to treat sucking chest wounds and traumatic blood loss.

 

Hemlock or Exile

Stacy Washington is a black, female political pundit, whose politics happen to be right of center.  She runs a website and a radio show called Stacy on the Right.

On Friday, April 28th, she published an OpEd in the St. Louis Times called Stacy Washington: Guns and the media.  In it, she had the audacity to suggest that the NRA and law abiding gun owners are not evil monsters on par with ISIS, stop calling them that and the media needs to stop being vehemently anti NRA.

Kennedy then describes the barbaric nature of the Islamic State and goes on to say of law-abiding, gun-owning Americans: “What makes the NRA so feared is its willingness to spend heavily and campaign aggressively in pursuit of its goal of removing all restrictions on the possession and use of firearms just about anywhere by just about anyone.”

Amusing. NRA members committed none of the gun crimes that he mentioned in his article. When inner-city residents complain of crime in their neighborhoods or decry the lack of adequate policing, the NRA or its membership are never mentioned…

To further illustrate the ridiculous nature of Kennedy’s comparison, when has a member of the NRA ever decapitated, set on fire, tossed from a rooftop or otherwise terrorized another American? The linkage is not only rife with improper context; it is false on its face.
For the sin of defending the NRA, the St. Louis Time has decided to end her column forever, blaming a conflict of interest.  The SLT seems to believe the only reason a reporter would defend the NRA is because they were on the NRA’s payroll.  Thereby proving her point.
Over at the New York Times, the new hire Bret Stephens published this OpEd, Climate of Complete Certainty.  In it he acknowledged that humans are in fact changing the atmosphere, but that the rhetoric of Left Wing environmentalists/climate change fanatics isn’t doing their side any favors with hysterical, apocalyptic predictions about climate change and calling people who doubt the predictions stupid.
Well, not entirely. As Andrew Revkin wrote last year about his storied career as an environmental reporter at The Times, “I saw a widening gap between what scientists had been learning about global warming and what advocates were claiming as they pushed ever harder to pass climate legislation.” The science was generally scrupulous. The boosters who claimed its authority weren’t.
Let me put it another way. Claiming total certainty about the science traduces the spirit of science and creates openings for doubt whenever a climate claim proves wrong. Demanding abrupt and expensive changes in public policy raises fair questions about ideological intentions. Censoriously asserting one’s moral superiority and treating skeptics as imbeciles and deplorables wins few converts.  
For his questioning the dogma of climate change, the New York Times was inundated with liberals canceling their subscriptions, and Stephens was attacked on social media by other journalists.  Some of the attacks even had an anti-Semitic bend to them – i.e. criticizing Stephens climate change article by condemning his as pro-Israel.
Ann Coulter tried to speak at Berkeley and was shut down by Antifa.
The Left leaning ACLU came to the defense of free speech, even as they insulted Coulter.
For the audacity of trying to defend the First Amendment on a public campus, they were attacked and Leftists threatened to stop donating.
It has become quite clear that the Progressive Left has become the Trial of Socrates.  Anyone who dares to say anything that goes slightly against the dogma of the left must be shut down.  There is no room for debate anymore.  It is an ideological purity test, administered by the most fervent of believers and those who don’t pass will be exiled.  Antifa has become the Muṭawwi (Islamic religious morality police) of the Left, openly beating those who don’t conform.
This is dangerous as hell and a threat to the very foundation of our society.
