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.

Yes, the site is spazing to Apple Products.

I am about to try to seek engagement with somebody past the call center in Mumbai or La Paz like the real guys who know stuff.

Thanks to Paul K, I can harass the shit out of the IT people with actual poignant questions..

The not-so-confusing signals of Occasional Cortex about jobs

At fist look this looks contradictory:

She is “surprised” to see homeless people (she would be the first New Yorker to do so) but celebrates that she helped to kill tens of thousands of jobs do no make it in New York.

As a good Communist, you help homeless by giving them government alms so they are always on your debt. When people earn money, they may develop this independent streak and protest you sucking their earnings with taxes to subsidize the homeless.

Chest Thumpers/No Compromisers, time to step up.

By the volume of visits and hits I lost because I defied the Chest Thumpers and NRA haters, I am sure this message will be lost. But in case you are still reading or somebody knows one of them, it is time to put your ass in the firing line.

You claimed the NRA sucked and you could do better. Time to prove yourselves right and the rest of us wrong. hell I will even publish your pictures with the legislators and press releases you may have for free.

Bodies needed, unless you are a billionaire and can hire them for our cause.

Git to work.

Florida on its way to East Coast Californication

This week the Governor of New York blamed budget shortfalls on the state of Florida.

He said New Yorkers are fleeing to the sunshine state to save big time on taxes.

It all goes back to the tax reform passed by Congress. The changes increased the incentive to move to the sunshine state dramatically.

And that is gonna be our future problem. We are going to have voters that will default to the same idiocies they are escaping because it is what they know. Next thing you know, we are voted to hell with gun control and taxes and stupid feel good legislations.  Don’t forget that Debbie Wasserman Schultz was born in Forest Hills, NY.

Cull Hunting: an explanation.

A lot of African Safaris are just your basic cull hunting to manage the number of animals. The best explanation I have seen and specific for elephants was by a Facebook friend and I had to share.

Remember, without regulated legal hunting, an elephant is just a 6 tonne rat that destroys their crops to the locals, and they *will* cooperate with poachers to exterminate as many of them as possible.

Where regulated hunting is legal, the locals protect the herd from poachers, up to and including “shoot, shovel, and shut up” on the poachers (where the government doesn’t also put a bounty on dead poachers, anyway…)

Cull hunts are widely misunderstood, but there are usually very good conservation reasons to have them with large mammals.

As for big predators, substitute crops for cattle, goats and humans and you the idea.

 

Joking about bombs in a plane in verbotten and kinda old

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A Canadian woman was arrested Tuesday at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport after making what she called a “stupid joke” about a bomb in a suitcase.

Nathalie Tremblay and her boyfriend had boarded an Air Canada flight bound for Montreal when a flight attendant asked whose bag would not allow an overhead bin to close.

According to the arrest report, Tremblay told the flight attendant “There’s a bomb in it” and began laughing.

Woman arrested after ‘stupid joke’ about bomb at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Int’l Airport

Bombs have been a delicate issue with the airline industry for decades now. Wikipedia lists 41 incidents of planes down by bombs starting all the way to 1912, so you just simply do not joke about bombs.

There was friend of mine who witnessed in the 1980s exactly how seriously airlines take event the hint of bomb. I am not sure but I seem to recall it was a Pan Am flight from Caracas to New York and when the plane landed in Kennedy, it was swarmed by cops and the FBI. A team, came in and aimed guns a two gentlemen with a business look and demanded for them to keep their hands up and to say where the bomb was. The two men did not know what the hell was going on and in halting English said so. They got arrested and dragged off the plane. Everybody else was taken outside the plane, but not released till everybody got checked out.

It took forever but the issue was finally cleared: there was no bomb. What had happened was that a flight attendant had head this guys talk in Spanish and say a word very similar to “bomb” plus they were perusing a bunch of what appeared to be diagrams, so she went up front, told the captain who got in touch with authorities. They did use the word “Bomba” innocently because in Spanish not only means bomb but also pump as in water pump, fuel pump, etc. The gentlemen were owners of some sort of agricultural supply business on their way to do some company shopping mixed with some fun times.  By also an innocent mishearing, they were a fly’s ass hair away of getting their head pumped full of bullets.

This dumb woman deserves to get what she has coming to her, mostly for sheer stupidity.
