Peaceful Trump protests puts lives in danger, Leftist with incendiary and explosive devices, not so much

The Biden/Harris (or is it Harris/Biden) bus went through Texas.

Texan Trump supporters trolled them hard.

As a result, the Biden campaign canceled the event the bus was headed to in Austin, Texas.

One Democrat state representative said it was because the Trump supporters have “escalated well beyond safe limits.”

One local Texan author and professional homosexual* spotted this and decided that it was more proof that Trump was Hitler.

He called 9-1-1 to report peaceful protesters.  I thought that was racist?

Ah yes, the thin blue line. Clearly, a racist engaged in a conspiracy against Biden.

“Although nobody was hurt” this reminded him of Nazi Germany. This guy is supposed to be a historian. “Although nobody was hurt” is not something that could be said about Nazi Germany. Kristallnacht had a death toll of 91. Hitler’s Brownshirts, the Sturmabteilung or SA, were notorious for being murderers.  They led the Night of Long Knives.

When the SA intimidated people who opposed the Nazis, it was because the threat of violence and death was behind their intimidation.  The SA didn’t just drive around Berlin waving flags.

This is beyond historically illiterate, this is revisionist malfeasance.

The rise of Hitler, like the rise of Stalin, Castro, Mao, Pol Pot, and other radical Leftist leaders left countless dead in their wake.  These politicians rose to their positions by climbing a mountain of skulls.  Their opponents were viciously murdered, disappeared, and unpersoned.

Private citizens who spoke out against them were beaten, had their businesses destroyed, were tortured, and many were killed.

This has been whitewashed out of history by people who want to say “Trump is coming to power just like Hitler.”  Really.  Where are the Biden supporters businesses that are being burned to the ground for supporting Biden?  Where are the people who speak out against Trump being beaten to death?

But we can be prepared. In the next four days, we can create such a landslide that their efforts are futile, sending a message that Nazi tactics have no place in America. 8/

Waving flags in the presence of opposing politicians and standing a safe distance away and heckling with actual serious questions about corruption are not Nazi tactics.  That is freedom of speech in a polite society.

The murder of Trump supporter Aaron Danielson by Antifa thug Michael Reinoehl, because he was a Trump supporter is a Nazi tactic.

What historians like this piece of shit are doing is a crime against humanity.

*I said above that this guy is a professional Homosexual.  I want to make it clear as to why I said this.

This is his biography from his website.

Dr. Eric Cervini
Author Historian Homosexual

That tag is also in his Twitter headline.

Dr. Eric Cervini is an award-winning historian of LGBTQ+ politics and culture.

As an authority on 1960s gay activism, Cervini serves on the Board of Directors of the Harvard Gender and Sexuality Caucus and on the Board of Advisors of the Mattachine Society of Washington, D.C., a nonprofit dedicated to the preservation of gay American history.

He is a gay man who studies and writes about gay history.  A brief browse through his Twitter and Instagram pages are nearly 100% about gay topics and those that aren’t are about Trump being a fascist.

There is an old Yiddish expression: to the worm in horseradish, the world is horseradish.  This man’s horseradish is homosexual activism, it is his all-consuming identity, and he put an enormous amount of effort into generating victim status from it.

The Left is populated with these niche victim group activists.

When this guy says that he’s “a historian” he’s not.  Not in a Victor Davis Hanson classical historian sense.  I’m sure if you asked him about the Battle of the Bulge, his answer would have something to do with drag queens tucking it at Stonewall.

For him to lie about the rise of Hitler while claiming to be a historian egregious beyond my ability to put words to it.

Good going El Paso PD

From KTSM 9:

El Paso police says department will not enforce County Judge order

The El Paso Police Department (EPPD) announced that it will not enforce El Paso County Judge Ricardo Samaniego’s order to have non-essential businesses close for a two week period.

EPPD cited a statement from Attorney General Ken Paxton as the reason for the move.

It reads:

“In sum, County Order No. 13 is unlawful and unenforceable because it conflicts with the Executive Order GA-32. For these, reasons, we have advised El Paso County Judge Samaniego to immediately rescind or revise his order to make it consistent with GA-32 or face likely further legal action.”

As KTSM has reported, County Judge Samaniego announced a two-week shutdown for non-essential businesses starting Oct. 30.

This order is in violation of the Governor’s orders on shutdowns.

The fact is, shutdowns have proven to only delay infections, not stop them.  Every time a location is locked down, shortly after the lockdown ends, infections go back up again.

This cycle of lockdown, release, and lockdown again is killing small businesses and killing people.

It’s good to see that the police refusing to enforce another (illegal) lockdown order.

A little something on police and mental health crisis responses

I found this video by accident looking for something else, but I wanted to share it.

So the police responded to a mental health crisis response.

A man was cutting his own throat with a knife.  They shot him with a less-lethal impact round that was able to disable the man long enough to secure him and apply a clotting agent saving his life.

I am reminded of two quotes Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein.

“Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms”

And

“Then you’ve heard the answer. But I’ll give you my own–unofficial–views on it. If you wanted to teach a baby a lesson, would you cuts its head off?”

“Why . . . no, sir!”

“Of course not. You’d paddle it. There can be circumstances when it’s just as foolish to hit an enemy with an H-Bomb as it would be to spank a baby with an ax. War is not violence and killing, pure and simple; war is controlled violence, for a purpose.”

In this case, the proper and controlled application of violence saved a life.

The police did not use lethal force, but still used force, and were able to take control of the situation.

I am not going to say that this is a universal fit, every situation is different.

I have read on a number of LEO blogs and message boards how even they (the police) don’t like responding to mental health crises because of the frequency of suicide by cop.

I truly believe having some sort of mental health expert first responder able to arrive at suspected mental health crises to try and non-violently defuze the situation is a good idea.

However, having law enforcement there with proper tools, training, and an understanding of how those weapons can be applied to mental health crises is equally valuable.

The ultimate purpose is to save lives, those of the innocent and that of the person suffering from internal demons.

Sometimes, the direct application of measured and controlled violence is the right way to do that.

 

Farewell Mr. Bond.

Sean Connery passed on today at the age of 90.

Besides the Bond movies, my fondest memories will be from Zardoz (takes a secure man to dress like that) and from Indian Jones and the Last Crusade.


PS: I cherish his particular scene from The last Crusade.

I suddenly remembered Charlemagne.
“Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky.”
Henry Jones Sr.

Went to get some gas. The worst economy ever!

I just came back from my local gas station to fill up in anticipation of Hurricane Antifa and these were the prices.

 

And these were the prices under the best-president-ever!

But Joe wants to “transition away from the oil industry.”

If you let Biden win, you should invest in a different form of transportation.

Vote for Trump or be ready to stare at the horse’s ass for at least 4 years.

And the Dumb Gun Owner of the week…

When it comes to holsters, we are always playing the compromise game. We fight between the level of retention versus the speed of access and we make choices in lifestyle accordingly.

But if you know damn well and in advance you are going to a spot that will more than likely end up in a physical confrontation, the lest you can do is make sure your weapon is securely holstered or that it won’t run away from you and land in the hands of others.

And all of the sudden, lanyards are no longer stupid.
