“We must meet that evil with an overwhelming show of love”

Singing “Kumbaya My Lord” at your beheading is poor tactics and lousier resolution conflict. Just wanted to point that out.

PS: That settles it. When we move north, Davidson County is not to be considered. They are getting too L.A./San Francisco for my taste.

The U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals Monday overturned a jury’s decision to award $1.8 million to former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura in a 2014 defamation case.A three-judge panel threw out the $1.35 million awarded to Ventura for “unjust enrichment,” saying Minnesota law did not allow a payout in this type of case; and it reversed the $500,000 award for defamation, remanding the case to the district court for a new defamation trial.

Could not happen to a bigger asshole and well deserved it.

In previous interviews, Ventura vowed to move permanently to Mexico where he has a winter home, if he lost the case.

I can give $10 so he can go live with his famous donkey relative in that little town of Mexico.

Within the past few weeks I was invited to attend a major metropolitan training exercise to test the areas of responsibility for police and fire to work together during a mass-casualty incident or ongoing crisis.  While the response to the training incident was relatively swift, much like we all watched in Orlando, I was able to sit and watch seconds become minutes, minutes build into hours, and hours drag on.

Simple and succinct, go read

Not only memorize the rules, make sure you are ready to implement.

Hat Tip Michael Bane.

Thank God it was murder victims and not rape victims…. /sarcasm>

Can we dispense with the stupid excuse/explanation? If they are not actively participating, they are supporting it or at least not doing squat to stop it because they agree with it.

Case in point:

Time to admit that a vast number of people in the world would not give two shits if the rest of humanity (us included) gets killed.

Florida Statutes 790 (12)(a) A license issued under this section does not authorize any person to openly carry a handgun or carry a concealed weapon or firearm into:

12. Any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to such purpose.

My proposal is simple:

Carrying a Concealed Handgun is allowed in an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises if the person does not consume alcohol during his/her stay and is not intoxicated prior to entering the establishment. 

The establishment cannot be liable for violation of this statute. 

Simple, right? Designated Drivers are given well-deserved attaboys for keeping people safe, why can’t  Concealed Carriers do the same by keeping patrons safe from all kinds of jackasses intending to use deadly force?

OK, get to it, we are waiting.

As I said in a post yesterday, I am upset…OK I am pissed.  I am pissed obviously because of the massacre at Orlando and 5o peolple were killed with 53 gravely wounded.

And I am also pissed because I saw authorities engaging in a full-fledged Political spin before the bodies had been collected off the dance floor. At the second press conference, where we were told the victim toll had gone from 20 to 50, I see the puppets with badges bring out an imam to give us some song and dance about the religion of peace. It was an insult.

It was an insult because some political hack has it in his/her mind that we are not at war with Jihadists (Oh hell yes we are) and that we, uncouth Americans will raise in pogrom and go burn Muslim neighborhoods. It was an insult because families and friends still had no idea if their loved ones were dead or alive and instead were getting a dose of political correctness on TV. It was an insult because they knew early who and what the shooter was, but decided to hold information until they had the puppet show ready in order to quiet the masses that were never in a state of revolt but in church praying for the souls of those who died and the lives of those who survived.

And then, the political spin went into high gear.

By the time the BS started to filter out of Washington, you were hard pressed to tell that the asshole shooter, Omar Mateen (Yes, I will mention his name) was a homegrown jihadist, registered Democrat, who pledged his allegiance to ISIS on a call to 911, passed at least one background check and 28 hours of training in firearms laws and use to get his Armed Security Officer License (I don’t know yet if he bought the guns at a FFL which would be another BG Check/s) , had been investigated by the FBI, was openly homohobe, racist and mysoginistic and attacked one of the very few places in Florida which the states mandates to be a Gun Free Zone and has not police protection. Instead, the DC Pablum Dispenser Machinery lead by the sorry excuse for inhabitant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue gave us the same tired porridge about more gun control.

I haven’t even visited the Facebook pages of the Moms and CSGV. I simply do not have enough blood pressure meds to deal with them. Suffice to say that I would not be surprised that they are blaming the NRA and Gun Owners for this massacre and ignore that all their boxes in their checklist for Gun Control were checked by Omar Mateen and the Florida Legislature and 50 people are still dead.

“President Clinton tolerates a certain amount of violence and killing to strengthen the case for gun control and to score points for his party.”

That was Wayne LaPierre back in 2000. Just switch Clinton with Obama and it is still a very much valid quote.
