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.

Art Of The Deal.

So, the Democrats wished Hillary for President… and did not get her.

Then they pushed for an impeachment of Trump. Not looking good either.

But there is an offer on the table to recall & remove the Governor from Virginia, his Lt Governor and the State Attorney.

I can live with that deal. The Dems can get three for the price of one.

Damn, Trump sure can negotiate!

Why we need a strong Second Amendment

Rayma is a Venezuelan cartoonist who today published a panel which has pissed off the Opposition in Venezuela, the side she is on.

People are dying while the politicos from both side are playing their games in the country and abroad. And the People will not do squat because fighting for Freedom and killing the oppressor has been tattooed in their brains as immoral and not worthy of a true Democracy. Any “freedom” must be achieved without violence or it becomes impure.

International help (Food and medicines) is arriving to the border town of Cucuta in Colombia to be delivered in Venezuela. What has been the response of the Venezuelan Government? Block the border access.

Venezuelan troops have barricaded a bridge on the country’s western border with Colombia in an apparent attempt to prevent the entry of humanitarian aid sent by opposition leaders trying to force Nicolas Maduro from power.
On Wednesday lunchtime a fuel tanker and two shipping containers blocked the Tienditas international bridge which connects the two countries and has become a staging ground for the planned relief effort. Members of Venezuela’s Bolivarian national guard could also be seen at the bridge

Venezuela: Troops block border bridge to stop aid from Colombia

The Opposition probably issued a strongly worded criticisms and perhaps planned on another meeting with the proper NGOs out there so they can come to an agreement to issue a formal letter of complain, strongly worded, of course.

In the meantime, people will continue to die from starvation and sickness, but always maintaining the high moral ground of non-violence which surely will bring freedom this time.

Well, death is a form of freedom, right?

 

Florida: SPB 7030 – School Safety and Security (includes allowing armed teachers in school)

An act relating to school safety and security; amending s. 30.15, F.S.; requiring a sheriff to establish a school guardian program under a certain condition; removing the prohibition against classroom  teachers serving as school guardians

This is just a bit of the bill which is 29 pages long. Good news? Sheriffs no longer can reject the School Guardian Program. But the bad news is that school board needs to vote and approve the use of School Guardian Program. Somehow I do not see Broward, Miami-Dade or Palm Beach school boards approving it, not at least till the next school shooting.

There is more to the bill, but nothing gun-related that I saw on my initial reading. I’ll delve on it later.

BIG REMINDER: Bills are either heading to subcommittees or already on them. Please register with the Florida House (they have both House and Senate bills)to receive updates on the bills via email. I will try to keep with the bills, but I would not mind a bit of help.

Florida: SPB 7026 – Keeping private the applications for Concealed Weapons Permit via Tax Collector.

OGSR/Concealed Carry License/Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services: Amending provisions relating to an exemption from public records requirements for personal identifying information of an individual who has applied for a license to carry a concealed weapon or firearm through a tax collector appointed by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to receive applications and fees; abrogating the scheduled repeal of the exemption, etc.

This one is one of those examples of little things that get missed initially. There was a time when your information was only exempt from the Sunshine Law if you had a CWP, but applications were not exempt. That was fixed, but I guess the language was not ample enough to be used with the applications via Tax Collectors since they belong to the Department of Revenue.

I see this as a good bill.

A personal reminder of the triumph of Venezuelan Socialism.

 

That is 138,500 Venezuelan Bolivares. I got them in eBay for $2.40 from a numismatic company so you know they are making a profit.  The bills are worthless for commercial use and I framed them as a reminder of what Socialism did to my country of origin.

And I am going to give you a bit of trivia about these bills: The paper, ink and work used to print them was more expensive than the face value of the bills at the time of issuance, just 2 years ago.

And to think that there are people in this country, even Venezuelans that left because of the conditions, who voted for Socialists like Bernie Sanders or Ocasio-Cortez, leaves me speechless.

Why are the Democrats hating SOTU? 76% approved the speech.

76% approved the speech and 72% approved what the President said about immigration.

Those are some very powerful numbers., specially when mixed with the reactions we saw on TV  of the Socialist cadre in Congress. Ocasio-Cortes ends up like a shallow brat that was there because the parents forced her to go to the Miller’s 50th anniversary party but she rather be checking out foodie trucks downtown and sharing in Instagram.

I made a comment in Facebook that now the Democrats will demand impeachment against the President for larceny since the SOB spent an hour stealing their thunder and not giving a damn. You are gonna look like an idiot opposing his immigration plans when he drives home the difference between Legal Immigrants like ICE Special Agent Elvin Hernandez who has gone after Human traffickers and rescuing women from forced prostitution to the illegal immigrant scum that shot a person in a subway platform of the sanctuary city of New York.  Let’s say Senator Schumer was not happy with that and the rest of the speech, specially the President ripped a new asshole to the new NY law on Late Abortions. 

I think that the central message (to both parties) of Trump’s SOTU was simply this: “Look what we have accomplished for the American People in only two years. How come you guys did not do it before?”

And the rest of us are going “Yeah, how come?”

PS: Nice not to hear an hour and some minutes of somebody saying “I-me-mine” every two breathing cycles.
