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.

Massachusetts town request National Guard to quell student unrest.

A number of Brockton School Committee members say they want the National Guard deployed to Brockton High School to address a “disturbing increase in incidents related to violence, security concerns, and substance abuse,” but the mayor is against the measure.

Though Mayor Robert Sullivan said in a statement to the Brockton Enterprise that he opposes the use of the National Guard at Massachusetts’ largest high school, he forwarded the committee members’ request to Gov. Maura Healey.

Only the governor has authority to deploy the National Guard in times of emergency, whether they be natural or human-made disasters.

lthough I feel bad for the kids that really want to learn, I am not too broken-hearted that the social experiment has collapsed in such way that they believe they require the use  of the National Guard to quell the mess they created.

It has been tried before; you know?

History is circular and ironic.

The NYPD Dancing team

When you were supposed to read the room, but did not.

What in the everloving fuck was the NYPD thinking? Not only the city is slowly being swallowed by crime, but over 5,000 officers have been injured last year and a whole bunch of people are still incensed that “hero” nurses in the apex of COVID were allegedly overwhelmed but somehow they spent hours and hours practicing and TikToking dancing routines while people died.

And the best thing they have going was a bunch of fat ass females who probably are assigned to protect the local donut shop, badly wiggle their asses.

Pocket Tools : Miguel.

I have referred to the Victorinox Trekker before and still stands as my regular EDC tool. The combination of a proven SAK design with a one-handed opening locking blade is just too good to ignore.

The Leatherman Kick is not carried on body (I have enough heavy crap in the pants as it is), but it is always very close by and if I need to use it repeatedly, I will clip it on the belt with a pouch I got in Amazon.
The one that I also carry constantly is the Victorinox Swiss Card. I got mine 10 years ago and it comes handy when you need to do some minor adjustments or openings, but a normal size blade or other tool may be frown upon and snitched by coworkers. It permanently resides in my wallet, and I don’t even think about it unless I need it.

Miami Herald:The one thing they did right.

And that was crime reporting:

I don’t think any newspaper back in the past (and certainly not in this day and age of “let’s not hurt the feelings of special interest/minorities”) did such a thorough and fast job at covering every detail of a violent crime like the Herald. Edna Buchanan certainly established the high bar that was kept for years after she left and did not leave the reader with the feeling something was being hidden for whatever unnecessary reason or political platitude and within 24 hours or even less.

Today we don’t even have news or delicate propaganda but shitty indoctrination wrapped in a thin film of faux reporting.
