Bad Joke Of the Day brough To You By The Brady Campaing.
The Saint Trayvon Of Miami Lakes narrative will not be allowed to die.
It is funny stuff though. His birthday deathday is coming up and I already have the post for it.
The Myth of Stopping Power (Shotgun Version – graphic content)
According to Internet Gun Lore and “Experts” the only other gun that its lethality is somewhat close to the .45 ACP is the venerable 12 gauge shotgun. Both are known not only to freeze all movement at a molecular level on impact but turn time back at least 3 seconds.
Unfortunately life keeps proving otherwise and with the exception of placing lead in a very specific region of the human anatomy, most humans will not dies instantly when shot.
The event above happened in the Dominican Republican. The shotgun wielder one Victor Hernandez, was drunk and had been sent home for being drunk on the job. Apparently he returned to the business, shot his boss/supervisor and then himself.
Both died.
Notice that even shooting himself in the chest point-blank range, did not stop Hernandez from staying upright and walking away. I am sure he collapsed soon after, but that was several seconds after Gun Lore has taught us that he should not only was supposed to die on the spot, but be sent at least two houses down by the power of the pellets.
5.3 seconds.
That was the time between shooting himself and stepping out of camera. Now imagine you are facing an armed & dedicated killer armed with a side arm; you manage to unload the prefect shot of buck from your UFO Killin’ shotgun in his chest and lower your weapon because nobody can survive that and he has to go down right then and there, right? The question is, how many shots do you think he can unload on you in five seconds?
Oh yes, he will be dead, but so are you. Five seconds are forever when you are shooting, ask any IDPA, USPSA, SASS or any shooting discipline where the shoot with a timer. If you are even half way serious about shooting, you must have heard of El Presidente drill and that is done in 10 to 12 seconds time (or supposed to.) That is 12 accurate shots on three targets with a reload in there so even if you are drunk and shot in the chest by a shotgun at point-blank range, five seconds provides the shooter with plenty time to dump rounds your way.
Lesson to be learned: don’t break cover, don’t stop fighting and don’t do stupid stuff just because you shot your opponent with something people say kills instantly. Make sure he is down, you have time on your side, he does not.
Philadelphia? No thank you.
Some samples of the behavior last nite and early morning in Phylly.

I was listening to the scanner for a spell and the cops were almost overwhelmed. I heard about people tearing down a light pole and throwing it through a window of a store. Busses being hijacked and the roof used for dancing platforms. People trying to get in City Hall (It is in the video, people climbing that big gate).
Anyway, my message to the Eagle’s fans is this: How many years have you guys been wanting to wing a Superbowl? But Trump becomes president and, BOOM! you are champs.
#MAGA
You are welcome.
Michael Isikoff again as a “tool” of the Democrats.
Investigative journalist Michael Isikoff said Friday that he was surprised to find out that an article he wrote about Carter Page prior to the election was used to obtain a spy warrant against the former Trump campaign adviser.
The revelation, which was made in a memo released by the House Intelligence Committee on Friday, “stuns me,” Isikoff said in an episode of his podcast, “Skullduggery.”
Isikoff Stunned That His Carter Page Article Was Used To Justify Spy Warrant
Isn’t it convenient that when the Democrats need a trustworthy journalist to besmirch a President, they rely on Isikoff? Have we forgotten already the 2005 Guantanamo Bay incident where he reported without confirmation ever obtained that a guard had destroyed and shoved a Quran down the toilet? Isikoff reported it several times and that led to riots in Pakistan where upwards of 30 people were killed and it became a black eye for the Bush administration?
So, Mr. Isikoff, we are not surprised one bit. And you can stop pretending you are, we ain’t buying it.
Sunday Music: Fiddler on the Roof.
I watched the movie when I was a kid and never bothered to check who composed the awesome music. It floored me to know that the fantastic violin solo by Itzhak Perlman was composed by John Williams because by contractual obligations, almost every frigging credit had to be rolled at the beginning of the movie so they needed something to cover that six-minute display.
Although there are several posters for that movie, this one became the iconic one, the one with the violin solo.

Why the application of the parking brake is so important
Wait for it….
The only saving grace in the whole sad affair is that the building is probably built with concrete structure and cement blocks so the fire was contained.
NYT: Screw Editorial Oversight & Welcome to Bizarro Fake News.
I gave my phone a quick check saw this new item that left me baffled.
If anything, President Trump has been a defender of Law Enforcement contrary to the past administration and the media, including the New York Times.
And then, in the same news thread, I got this:
They defend the FBI because President Trump, rightfully so and as Chief Law Enforcement of the Nation, pointed out the disgraceful political actions of the Agency. How dare he remotely soil the image of the perfect FBI? But then the same in the same day, the New York Times accuses the FBI of being responsible for multiple attack on women for “plodding” the investigation.
The amazing flexibility of morals and ethics from the Media is unparalleled. Or simply it might be that they think we are stupid and would never catch them in a contradiction like that.
This screen cap I got from after the last presidential election is aging quite well, don’t you think?
