HuntsBill

A buddy of mine showed me a link to a webstore called Huntsbill.

It sells one item, this little decal.

Let me tell you about #HuntsBill.

He’s an engineer.  He works on “the Arsenal” (that’s Restone Arsenal in local parlance).  He drives an SUV, has a wife and kids.  He probably lives in a nice, middle-class development.  He shops at Kroger, maybe the big one on 72 or the nice new one on Sullivan.  Every once in a while he’ll enjoy a beer after work at Rocket Republic or Campus 805.

Now…

Have you ever heard of the Hellfire R9X?

It’s the newest upgrade to the AGM-114 Hellfire missile system.  It is a “low collateral damage” weapon.  It is designed to kill targets in cars and buildings without injuring or killing bystanders.

It does it by replacing the standard explosive payload with a 100 lbs steel payload that deploys six blades just before impact at Mach 1.3.  It is coupled to an ultra-precise upgraded laser guidance system.

When we killed Al-Qaeda leader Abu Khayr al-Masri, this is what we used.  This is what it did to the car he was in.

Nobody in the car survived.

This weapon has earned the nickname “the flying Ginsu.” Task and Purpose magazine described it as “basically a meteor filled with swords to minimize civilian casualties.”

Why do bring this up?

Because Lockheed has a huge presence here in Huntsville.  So do a lot of its subcontractors.  Redstone Arsenal is home to a lot of America’s missile and missile defense system development.  You can’t look at a job posting sight in Huntsville without seeing a call for engineers to work on the hypersonic missile project.

The last couple of days, whatever they were testing on the Arsenal shook the windows of my house.

There is a very good chance that HuntsBill worked on the R9X.

So you can make fun of HuntsBill and his sneakers and jeans.

But HuntsBill’s last big project was to make a giant, laser-guided, supersonic shuriken for sending terrorists straight to hell, and his current project is for blowing the fuck out of Chinese long-range missiles.

The bad-ass tactical weapons used by our high-speed tactical operators are designed by guys that look like HuntsBill.

So I’d show him just a little respect.

How we feel about soccer is why America is still the best nation on Earth

Working on my post about David Hogg put me in the mood to watch the Key & Peele Futbol Flop sketch.  I love that show.

I did a Google search that found an old Atlantic article from 2014.  I know it’s six years old, but I started reading it and decided to post about it.

Dissecting American Soccer’s Hatred of the Flop Is a World Cup Tradition
Another World Cup has begun and that means another opportunity to explain away America’s global soccer failures on our stubborn obsession with fairness and sportsmanship.

An American obsession with fairness and sportsmanship.  Tell me why that’s bad you Leftist fucks.

Experts agree that American soccer players are particularly bad at one essential skill of the sport: flopping. On the cusp of the U.S. team’s opening match against Ghana, The New York Times reminded us why the U.S. just doesn’t flop very well, or much at all. The practice of the flop is a tried-and-true method of manipulating each game’s referee to make calls go your way by aggressively exaggerating fouls or the appearance of fouls. The benefit — as Brazil’s Fred showed on the opening day of the World Cup (image above) — can be as decisive as an occasional undeserved penalty kick.

American players are still Americans, and deep down in their American hearts, they just can’t bring themselves to use a bullshit appeal to authority to get an unfair advantage.

However, American-born players rarely flop and aren’t great at selling their falls. The prevailing theory why that is? Flopping is dishonest and… un-American:

That idea [of flopping], though, runs contrary to the ethos of idealized American sports. As [World Cup assistant Tab] Ramos said, American athletes are typically honest on the field, no doubt influenced by years of being told to be strong, battle through contact and finish the play. The tendency of American soccer players to eschew diving, [ex-player Kyle] Martino said, is directly related to the fact that diving is one of the things that soccer critics in the United States rail against so passionately.

That is quintessentially American.  We believe that America is the land of opportunity and if you just be honest, work hard, and persevere, you can be successful.

We don’t like corruption, and we don’t like to think of it as the norm.

To the major practitioners of the flop — Europeans and South Americans — flopping is part of the game. 

Because Europe is the land of big government and South America is the land of Banana Republics.  The people there know that to get ahead you either have to appeal to big government or bribe a government official.

In the States, however, it’s often cited as one of the key aspects of soccer that keeps it from wider American acceptance. In basketball or hockey, for instance, the worst thing you can be accused of is taking a dive just to get a call.

At this point, it should be noted that the World Cup was most popular in Blue America that wants us to act more like the rest of the world.  Those same places that voted for Hillary.  It’s the donors for those places that are the bankers that got a pass for the skeezy bullshit they pulled with the housing market.

Wider America that hates professional liars and cheaters, and doesn’t want to pull a fast one on the ref to be the way to win hates World Cup soccer.   They also hate Elizabeth Warren.  And they should on both accounts.

That is gonna screw with the Narrative.

Racist MSNBC employee projects his racism onto others

I’m not 100% sure why the Left thinks this is a good argument.

I see two interpretations of this argument, none of which make the person who said it look good:

  1. They assume Republicans are racists and if black people were armed like that they’d turn against gun rights and want to disarm law-abiding black people the way the Democrats have wanted to do since 1865.
  2. White people should be stomped on and have their rights taken away just the same way that black people have been historically oppressed by the United States.

The converse, that letting law-abiding black people have gun rights unmolested never dawns on them.  They are too full of racism and hatred of freedom for that.

David Hogg doing the victim soccer flop again, this time in Virginia

Victim status is a hell of a drug.  It’s more addictive than opiates.  Once someone gets a hit of it, they never want to give it up.

By every objective measure, David Hogg should be hated by the Left.  He’s a straight, white, male who grew up in a nice house in a nice area of Broward.

But he was somewhere in the vicinity of an active shooter, and more importantly, was more than willing to throw himself in front of a news camera as a victim.  He rode that to national prominence, fame, a book deal, and despite his bad grade, Harvard, which is the ultimate bestower of Privilege.

To stay relevant and empowered on the Left, has to be a victim, and the only way for this well-off straight, white, male to be that, he has to be threatened by worse people.  When he’s not, he makes it up.

I’m not sure if Hogg is even in Virginia right now.  I doubt he wanted to travel all the way from Boston to Richmond for a weekend.  But that doesn’t matter.  His First Amendment rights are being oppressed by those scary gun rights activists.

Miguel and I have written enough condemnation of those tactical douche bags.  Given everything I disagree about what they are doing, they have not put out a Fatwa on Hogg.  There is no risk to his life.  But he’s going to flop around like a French soccer player pretending that those scary gun owners are the reason he can’t be in Richmond telling NRA members that they are murders and have blood on their faces.

Everything about this boy indicates to me that he is a sociopath who is happy to step on real victims for self-aggrandizement.

Consider how very verbally aggressive he gets with people he disagrees with.  It’s really over-the-top and disproportionate to what provoked him.

Rubio said nothing remotely related to guns or even Conservative politics, but Hogg lashed out.

I truly believe Hogg wants to goad someone into taking a shot at him just to level up his victim status.  This boy ain’t right.
