And add to that that the Secret Service admitted it found pot twice before and what we have is a security that is not very secure. If it is by design, by pressure or a colossal case of “we DGAF” is still to be decided.

Anyway, my thought is that somebody is going to play alohasnackbar or some other idiotic and uninspired motive and try to breach the White House with a baggie of ricin or anthrax because the perception is anybody can do it and get away with it. .

The sinking of the Titanic was not this painfully spectacular.

Went online and checked the price of mini cans of Coke (7.5 fl oz.)

That comes to$0.40 per 7.5 fl oz of Bud Light versus $0.64 per 7.5 fl oz of Coke.

And it is being said that the star/asterisk at the top right corner of the sign indicates that the item will not be re-stocked.

Costco will not be offering Bud Light any time soon. Losing rack/shelf space in any store is bad. At a wholesale warehouse? Catastrophic.

Ouch.

This pitbull attacks on a child took place in China.

That is a totalitarian country where you have no right to defend yourself.

Chinese government will shoot the dog for biting you, shoot the owner for having a dog that bites, and probably shoot you for being bitten by the dog and going viral.

In America, most of America I should say, you have options.

There are many comments about poking the dog in the eye.

That won’t work with pitbulls.  They are fighting dogs, they fight through the pain to the death.

The only thing you can do is kill the dog or choke it unconscious.  That takes time.

A knife to the throat is much faster.

California Assembly committee blocks bill that could have sent human traffickers of kids to prison for life

The California Assembly committee on public safety blocked a bill that would increase the charges for human trafficking.

The Golden State lower house committee considered Senate Bill 14, which would make the human trafficking of children a “serious felony.” Serious felony charges under California law currently include murder, rape, and any other crime which may incur the death penalty or life sentence in state prison.

However, instead of upping the ante on child traffickers, the California Assembly Public Safety Committee nuked the measure on Tuesday.

I’m trying to come up with one logical reason that California Democrats wouldn’t want to make the sex trafficking of children a serious felony that isn’t “they are a cabal of pedophiles that trade in trafficked children,” and honestly, I can’t think of one.

The only reason I can fathom someone not wanting to make the sex trafficking of children a serious felony is that they traffic in children.

I’m convinced QAnon isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s a documentary about the Democrat elite.

MyPillow is auctioning off hundreds of pieces of equipment and subleasing some manufacturing spaces amid what founder and CEO Mike Lindell calls “a massive, massive cancellation.”

Lindell, in an interview with the Star Tribune, said MyPillow lost $100 million from “attacks by box stores, the shopping networks, the shopping channels, all of them did cancel culture on us.”

Several retailers, including Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Kohl’s, pulled MyPillow products from their shelves after Lindell continued to claim the 2020 presidential election was stolen from former President Trump.

I had seen on TV he was doing some massive discount offers and started to wonder why. OK, not really wondering but I think it was not only the Cancel Culture alone but his own mouth.

Is this a preview of things (and votes) to come? Stay tuned.

This is something I have been mulling for some time and now.  Criminals realize that everybody is using this new generation of inexpensive cameras, and some are targeting the most obvious one: The doorbell camera. If they cover or destroy the doorbell cam, you are blind to what is going on outside and information is something nice to have when it comes to the defense of home. If you get distracted/absent minded and have not realized that the camera was disabled but just think something happened, (Wifi down, momentary loss of power or adapter failure) you may step outside to check and either walk into an ambush or allow critters come in.

So, I have been trying to figure out where I am going to install a camera that covers the front and is out of the reach/sight of a bad guy while providing a “back-up” visual of the entrance. Something I learned in my time doing security surveillance is that people don’t look up and that should be part of your strategy.  Find a high angle that provides a clear field of vision while “using” the doorbell camera as “sacrificial” target of the bad guys.

Amazon prime days are here, I am getting a couple of the cameras for the price of one which is not a bad deal at all.

If your gut says not to break perimeter, you simply don’t and the gut will go DEFCON one if a normal-working camera suddenly goes dark. But it is also a good idea to know what’s going on, especially if somebody is about to break the perimeter so you can “welcome” him or them appropriately. Get a backup camera.

Two is one and one is none.

Security cameras are generally Miguel’s topic of interest (and I’d love his take), but this is more about the degree to which the anti-cop Left wants to facilitate crime.

Make no mistake, that is their goal.

You are a bigot for your white flight to the suburbs, so they are doing everything they can to ruin your community.

From Wired:

Why We Don’t Recommend Ring Cameras
They’re affordable and ubiquitous, but homeowners shouldn’t be able to act as vigilantes.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that they have no idea what a vigilante is.

MOST OF THE time, product testing is pretty simple. If a router is better and more feature-full than another with a similar price, then you give it a better score and move on with your day. However, we occasionally end up with products that can be dangerous to you, or to society in general, which we believe to be the case with Amazon-owned Ring and its relationship with law enforcement.

When you set up a Ring camera, you are automatically enrolled in the Neighbors service. (You can go into the Ring app’s settings and toggle off the Neighbors feed integration and notifications, but the onus is on you.) Neighbors, which is also a stand-alone app, shows you an activity feed from all nearby Ring camera owners, with posts about found dogs, stolen hoses, and a Safety Report that shows how many calls for service—violent or nonviolent—were made in the past week. It also provides an outlet for public safety agencies, like local police and fire departments, to broadcast information widely.

But it also allows Ring owners to send videos they’ve captured with their Ring video doorbell cameras and outdoor security cameras to law enforcement. This is a feature unique to Ring—even Nextdoor removed its Forward to Police feature in 2020, which allowed Nextdoor users to forward their own safety posts to local law enforcement agencies. If a crime has been committed, law enforcement should obtain a warrant to access civilian video footage.

See, if your Ring camera catches a crime on video, be it a break-in at your home or your neighbor’s home, Ring will send that video evidence to law enforcement.

That’s bad because the cops are bad.  The last thing society needs is for the cops to arrest the right people for committing crimes in middle-class neighborhoods.

Multiple members of WIRED’s Gear team have spoken to Ring over the years about this feature. The company has been clear it’s what customers want, even though there’s no evidence that more video surveillance footage keeps communities safer. Instead, Neighbors increases the possibility of racial profiling. It makes it easier for both private citizens and law enforcement agencies to target certain groups for suspicion of crime based on skin color, ethnicity, religion, or country of origin.

And there you have it, it’s racist.

This is literally the opposite of profiling.  The HD video captures the actual criminals on video.

But you might notice something about those criminals (wink, wink) and that’s double plus ungood.  You might have a wrong think about the evidence your Ring video doorbell captured.

What you need is a video camera system that can’t talk to the police.

If fact, what it needs to do is have facial recognition technology that automatically erases any recording of black people, and report you if there aren’t enough black people in your neighborhood.

Your security system really should be used against you, you bigot, to adjust your social credit score for living in a presumably white, middle-class neighborhood.

The Left doesn’t care about your safety or the safety of your community.  It cares about the safety of criminals.

You can’t have a gun to defend yourself and you can’t have a video security system that talks go the cops.  You just have to accept being the victim of a crime.  That’s social justice.
