Look at this fucking shit:

.@NYGovCuomo unveils hundreds of masks sent to NY from concerned Americans. pic.twitter.com/QJ2EqHGNGk

Countless people bought fabric and sewed it into masks, shipped them to New York to try and help first responders working in an outbreak.

Governor Cuomo sticks them to a wall for a big fucking “this is how much people love New York” photo op.

Those are cloth masks. They are reusable. Why are they not on the faces of New York nurses complaining about mask shortages?

Because feeding Governor Cuomo’s Empire State ego is more important.

Way to make everyone in Middle America feel  like their charity went to nothing.

This.  Fucking.  Guy.

Nurses and First Responders in New York can use the code MASKWALL to get 25% off the price of a pneumatic guillotine.

Caught On Video: A pair of Wisconsin police officers on a crazed power trip show up at a woman’s home because she “violated a state order” by allowing her daughter to play at a neighbor’s house pic.twitter.com/JTtogvoE1X

In Wisconsin you can take your kid to the grocery store, Walmart, Costco, a restaurant for takeout,  where they might come in contact with any number of strangers who may be sick.

But you cannot let your kid play with the neighbor kid across the street, who you know.

Seriously.

Prohibited activities. All public and private gatherings of any number of people that are not part of a single household or living unit are prohibited, except for the limited purposes expressly permitted in this Order. Nothing in this Order prohibits the gathering of members of a single household or living unit. Landlords or rental property managers shall avoid entering leased residential premises unless emergency maintenance is required.

Some Karen saw two little girls having unapproved fun and called the cops.

The cops showed up and were there to follow orders.

Nein!!!  Das children hazing fun ees verboten in Visconsin!

This is the kind of fucking bullshit that makes good people turn against these orders and demand states reopen.

The deluge of lawsuits against politicians and police for these sorts of orders are going to swamp the courts for years.

In case you missed the news, there have been outbreaks of Coronavirus in several meat packing plants.  They have been shut down.

This is expected to cause a spike in meat prices as supply dwindles.

The ripple effect is to hurt farmers and ranchers with stock who can’t have their stock slaughtered.

Keeping the animals alive will cost money in feed and the meat will lose value as it ages past prime.

Trump declared meat processing an essential service under the DPA.

Some workers are afraid to return to work and this gives CNN a raging hard-on.

Meat plant workers to Trump: Employees aren’t going to show up

Yep.  CNN’s TDS is causing them to cheer the collapse of the meat market and the bankruptcy of small ranchers and farmers.

It’s not like the CNN talking heads won’t  be able to afford $20/lbs ground beef on their millionaire salaries.

I think the first thing Trump should do is have the military send CBC gear to these processing plants.  Have the workers work in MOPP 4 if necessary, our food supply lines must remain intact.

Next, he should have the correspondents dinner and serve the meal works and insect paste the media keeps trying to make us believe is a more environmentally friendly alternative to beef.  And he should lock them in until they clean their plates.

My Dad, God rest his soul, was Old School and thought there was no better way to insure the future than a monthly income via renting. He bought a piece of land , almost 4 acres and we build our house on the south side. On the north side, we built a triplex and a small warehouse and another warehouse was built on the west side (Zoning is not something very cared for in Venezuela).

Socialism being Socialism even in Soft European form, there were Renter protection Laws in the country which mean it could take you up to 6 months kick somebody out.  It was a pain in the ass, but the promise of a final date made things bearable.

Enter full fledged Socialism/Communism under Chavez.  Suddenly some people felt they did not need to pay rent because reasons and evictions started to multiply. The media back then, still intoxicated with the allure of a Revolutionary leader that was actually for the people, started to publish and play sad stories of families being evicted by heartless landlords and how the government should step in.

And it did. A new Renter’s Law was passed giving the renter 6 months of grace to challenge in court the eviction notice without having to pay one cent of rent. If not challenged during that time, the renter could apply and be giving an almost automatic extension of another six months. During that time, the landlord could not do a thing other than show up to fix the property and could not address the renter or be accused of harassment.

Of course, what had to happen, did happen: Nobody got evicted because the notoriously slow courts suddenly got flooded by eviction cases and the sheer number just made that court stop till resources could be brought which happened never.  The second thing that happened was that construction of new housing screeched to a halt unless you were building high end and very pricey houses and condos for sale. Most of the middle class construction in Venezuela was for rentals, but nobody was going to build a damned thing if by the second month he could lose his investment. Construction in unfinished apartment buildings stopped. Why bother to put more money into housing construction? You could drive anywhere and see those concrete skeletons all over. Those who were finished were never allowed to be rented but went automatically for sell, but unfortunately people’s income had begun to depreciate and simply did not have the money to buy and mortgage interests were criminally high as always. Some builders simply welded shut the doors, abandoned the projects  and went into bankruptcy.

Housing became scarce and on its way to impossible to find.

We managed to sell 2 out of our three units, but thanks to mom being stubborn and not selling everything when shit started to go downhill and inflation, we got but a minimal fraction of what was worth before Chavez, barely enough to move mom and her things to the US with us and that was not much and while you still can buy dollars in the open market. The last renter “decided to buy” his unit but stopped paying rent till he got the money to pay for it. I eventually told mom to consider the apartment lost and be glad the Venezuelan government could not come after her for unpaid taxes.

For all intents and purposes, we lost everything we spent decades building because Socialism and Renter’s “rights”. Trying to be righteous and popular simply condemned people to built shacks with tin roofs and no water or electricity and shit in buckets. Some tried to squat into abandoned buildings, but were expelled by the government themselves who had other ideas about what to do with them, such as keeping them for their own profit.

The most painful part was our family  home: we sold it at a what would be considered a decent price, but by then she was not allowed to exchange it for any foreign currency. The money simply went into our bank account and sat there not knowing that in a few months, it would lose 70% of its value and in a years time, it would be only worth  one thousandth of what was the day it was deposited because of Socialist Hyper Inflation.

So when the incestuous bitch Ilhan Omar tweets this crap, I know damned well the consequences of her proposed stupidity.

PS: Wasn’t rent cancelled in Somalia?

This is a Tweet from New York City Mayor, Bill de Blasio:

Let us be clear on this.

The Coronavirus spread like wildfire in New York City because of the New York City subway system (and other forms of public transportation).

It’s easy to see why.

Cramming millions of people per day into a cold, small, metal tube underground with no sunlight or fresh air creates the ideal conditions to spread a respiratory virus.

But what did Bill de Blasio do?

He went after Jews praying in Synagogues.

Millions of people breathing into each other’s faces in a giant coffin on wheels is an essential service, but praying Jews are what pose an existential danger to New York City.

This Sandinsiata-loving, Jew-hating, Marxist can get fucked by the Empire State Building’s spire for all eternity.

Update:

A buddy sent me this screen grab from de Blasio.

So if you are keeping track, the Mayor of New York is threatening to arrest worshiping Jews but Muslims get free Halal food to break the daily fast.

A search of Bill de Blasio’s Twitter account doesn’t show any offer of Kosher food to Jews who couldn’t attend a Synagogue Seder because of the Coronavirus.

The First Amendment says:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

We’ve been focused on the “prohibiting the free exercise thereof” part because of the states and cities shutting down churches and synagogues.

I suspect this is a violation of the “make no law respecting an establishment of religion” part as the lockdown harmed celebrants of Passover, Easter, and Ramadan, but NYC only handed out food for Ramadan.

The Mayor of New York really is a 6’5″ pile of shit.

The shutdown and lockdown has been hard on people, I understand that.  I am empathetic to peoples’ strife.

Some people, however, do not engender a feeling of empathy from me.  They engender the desire to throw them out of a fucking helicopter.

Enter Ilhan Omar:

*taps mic*

Cancel rent

— Rep. Ilhan Omar (@Ilhan) April 28, 2020

Now exactly how do we do that?

Who eats the cost?  Does the property owner still have to pay their mortgage?  Does the bank that lent the mortgage eat the cost?  How long until the bank then raises prices on all the other customers to cover its losses on the mortgages not being paid?

Even the most cursory thinking about this idea shows just how bad it is.

But take a page out of her brother’s playbook and screw her.  It’s her followers that really scare the shit out of me.

This is Marxist and Maoist propaganda.  Marx and Mao denounced landlords as parasites.

they can starve 🙂

— minnie (@reallyreallygay) April 28, 2020

And thus begins the murderous hatred of landlords.

One of the most horrible things that Mao did was the mass executions of landlords under his Land Reform policies.

These people knot this and are advocating for the classicide of landlords like what happened under Mao.

Then there is this guy, and boy do I feel sorry for him.

That is a legitimate question.  The Progressives answered it.

Really, helpful.

I was a landlord once.  I was relocated by my job and the housing market in Chicago was flooded with foreclosures.  Rather than lose my entire savings selling my house at a loss, I rented it out for the cost of my mortgage.  I lost money on my rental because one year I had to replace the water heater and the other I had to replace the garage door opener.

The rent I collected was just enough to pay the mortgage and taxes so I could afford my place in Omaha.

But according to the progressive Left, that made me a rich parasite that could die.

I have a buddy here in Huntsville that went through something similar after his layoff.  He rented out his place to afford a place in Miami for his new job.

That makes him a rich parasite too.

I’m familiar with the stories of the slum lords of New York City, San Francisco, and other progressive places.  That is a product of the rent control of those cities that makes it impossible for a landlord to turn a profit and do upkeep and renovations.  It’s the fault of the politicians that housing is so bad there.

But most landlords are not that.  The guys I rented from in Omaha and later Huntsville were small landlords who hired a property manager to collect the rent.  The guy in Omama was military who bought a house near Offutt AFB and then was deployed so put up his home for rent.   Most landlords in this country outside of a few big cities are small owners.

But to the socialists who love Ilhan Omar all of them (us) should be driven to destitution and death because we rented out a place that we own.

Forgive me if I don’t want to submit to a struggle session before being executed because I owned a rental property for a little bit.

These people are the reason I own guns.
