Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

74 years ago was Operation Overlord, the invasion of mainland Europe through Normandy.

Back then, Evil was faced and defeated. Now we give them full benefits and a seat at the decision table.

The Triumph of Socialism: Venezuela will fail to met Oil Obligaions

Venezuela’s state oil company PDVSA has told eight foreign clients it will be unable to supply the contracted volumes of crude oil, a company employee told S&P Platts.
“Among the affected clients due to the low availability of crude to export are Nynas, Tipco, Chevron, CNPC, Reliance, Conoco, Valero, and Lukoil, which will partially receive the volumes established by the contracts,” the person said.
The amount the company will not be able to supply is close to half of the total committed volumes of this grade, Merey 16, for June. It only has 578,000 bpd of the grade available, while the total contracted volume is 1.271 million barrels daily. PDVSA’s total crude commitments for the month stand at 1.495 million bpd, but it only has 694,000 bpd available.

Venezuela’s PDVSA Fails To Meet Oil Supply Obligations.

When I was a little kid in school, we were told about Alonzo De Ojeda and Americo Vespucci discovering Maracaibo lake  in 1499. One of the things they saw was the indian huts built on the water and on stilts. The other thing? This tar-looking thing coming out of the bottom of lake that the natives used to waterproof their boats: Petroleum.

Vespucci, the cartographer of the expedition, was taken by the edifications that he called the region Little Venice which eventually ended up being Venezuela.

Fast forward 500+ years and decades of investing in oil infrastructure and personnel, Socialism has managed to screw up to gather enough of the product that pops naturally from underground to fulfill contracts. Like Stalin did before WWII, Chavez endeared himself in getting rid of PDVSA engineers and workers that did not align themselves with the Revolution and substituted them with politically loyal but totally petroleum-ignorant people.

In the 1970s after President Perez nationalized the oil industry (No, it was not Chavez and they keep saying) the government did a smart thing: The gave full scholarships to anybody with decent grades to go study anything oil-related to the US. While back them with the Oil boom it was said that Miami was the biggest neighborhood of Caracas because all the Venezuelans shopping there, the second biggest was Houston with all the students soaking the Oil Business.

The students came back and transformed PDVSA into a revolutionary (in the good sense) Oil company who produced 2.5 million BPD with the regularity of the tides. Equipment failure and accidents were extremely rare and the company had a worldwide reputation for excellence and innovation.

Now PDVSA is known for being the organization where the Venezuelan oil income has been deviated to secret bank accounts all over the world by Chavistas and Socialists. Corrupt to the core and slowly strangling the Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs of every penny they can.

It is a lie the Socialism hates wealth. They just hate you being wealthy, they don’t mind suffering it so the people do not have to do it. Like Sin Eaters but with caviar, champagne and penthouses.

 

 

NICS checks for May 2018 up from last year.

And if I am reading it right, it is the biggest May since the beginning of NICS.

So far, we have 11,357,627 checks for this year. Same period last year brought us 10,699,334 so we are up↑ 658,293 checks.

Not bad, not bad at all.

David Hogg got SWATted (Update)

Just caught the news.

I am amazed to see that the comments are not cuddly and nice about the little Nazi. He seems to be disliked across the whole South Florida which I may need to remind you guys is pretty damn diverse race and religion wise. And there is a good share of those who are speculating if this is just a publicity stunt to call attention on himself by waving the victim card. BSO and FBI will be investigating, I am sure…OK, stop laughing.

I do find a bit amusing that Good Guys with Guns showed up to curtail any possible crime.

Mommy and Daddy do have a nice house though. That has to be a high six figure home just by having a waterfront.

OK, so back to your regular programming.

UPDATE: David Hogg was not at home but in Washington DC receiving the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award. Shit you not.

From Wikipedia

The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award was created by the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial in 1984, now known as the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights to honour individuals around the world who show courage and have made a significant contribution to human rights in their country.

Holy crap. But then again it is keeping with family tradition, Patriarch  Joe Kennedy was very fond of Hitler.

I am starting to side with the group that says this was a publicity stunt.

Another Gun Control Bus Tour (The Parkland Brats Tour)

You are gonna tell me that these kids who cannot stand somebody saying something nasty against them  on Twitter are gonna spend 60 days inside a bus travelling across the nation? I am gonna bet that after a few photo shoots, they will send the bus ahead and fly people to locations nearby their destination.

The Gun Control loves a long tour bus. Five years ago, Michael Bloomberg, the Parkland Brats financier, sent what he called a No More Name bus on a tour across the nation that fizzled out rather quick. I did change its name for something more appropriate:

I figure we need to do the same thing as before: Get the schedule and just stop by wearing the appropriate gear like NRA hats and other accouterments while smiling at the passing vehicle.

So let’s go ahead and find the schedule, shall we?

 

Violence in the real world (Graphic Video)

Quoting from the source:

Right here is the difference between real violence and the chest bumping bullshit men do in bars.
Man on left thinks the verbal altercation is over, for the man on the right it was over and he proved it.
An interesting thing to note is the man of left’s response to a screwdriver being plunged into his chest. The first strike he was in shock. A basic anatomy lesson shows that this is a very bad place to have a hole made in you.
These types of situations happen everyday in the world. Understanding who you are dealing with is paramount. If unsure, move away from the area. Fear is a good thing sometimes, listen to it.
