Gun Free Zone

Sean does a great job taking down Hogg & Friends Gun Control plans, so I ask you to go read it.

https://www.ncgunblog.com/2019/08/21/the-greatest-gun-control-plan-of-our-lives/

I do want to go over two things mentioned on this plan:

• NRA investigations – the NRA is under serious
scrutiny from multiple local, state, and federal
entities for self-dealing and mismanagement.76
This should offend responsible NRA members and
gun owners alike. On Day One, the next President
must (1) direct the IRS to open an investigation
into the tax-exempt nonprofit status of the NRA
and (2) direct the FEC to open an investigation
into whether the NRA has violated campaign
finance laws.

If anybody thought that the NRA crisis was going to be left alone by Bloomberg and collaborating states and allow us to get it fixed, it is time you wake the hell up and smell the poison. If anything I predict they will increase efforts to take the NRA down with the help of Gun Owners. We are coming down to choosing if you are willing to hold your nose and survive or die clean and fresh-smelling. And no, there is not a third option as much as you would like.

Police violence – we cannot talk about gun
violence in communities without talking
about our national challenges with police
violence. Officer-involved shootings are now
a leading cause of death for young American
men. While police violence both contributes
to, and is influenced by, weak gun laws, we
also need structural reforms that directly
produce better policing.

They still do not like cops which I keep saying is to our advantage. They can come up with all the plans in the world and even pass all the laws they want, but if they do not have cops to enforce them, it is all a pile of salt 5 seconds before a wave comes by. We need URGENTLY to get more cops on our side even if it means for some of the more Chest Thumpers® among us to cut down or even better re-focus their issues with Law Enforcement. In other words, stop sounding like the Opposition and Black Lives Matter.

Nothing.

Seriously, there is nothing you can do although there are already people asking you to donate money to their foundations and organizations that are possibly somewhere very far from the fire and have no firefighting capabilities.

It is the Dry Season in the are where the fire is burning. There are very few paved rods, no modern or even old infrastructure and certainly no fire departments. It is a jungle, not a forest park full of bambis an winnies.

What caused the fire? Nobody knows. Some are speculating that local farmers did a slash & burn to clear space for planting and it got out of control. I also find funny that experts are discovering that slash and burn is used down there to clear a space for cultivation. It is done every year since the first settlers decided to try to eek a sustenance out of what is possible the worst soil in the world for agriculture short of the Sahara. And the reason that Slash and Burn is done every year is the same reason why I am not to worried about the fire: Everything will grow back again to the way it was, probably in a year or two.

We are in the downward side of the Dry Season. It is the Amazon and some rain will happen but don’t expect miracles. Rainy season south of the equator starts in October and ends in May and by then we will probably see a lot of the damage covered in new growth.

Back in the late 70s and early 80s, a shipping magnate by the name of Daniel K. Ludwig decided to build a paper pulp plant in Brazil. H ordered a plant built in Japan, brought it by ship all the way to the site and cleared acres of jungle that I recall NASA claimed you could see the  scar from space. After sinking  hundreds of millions in the project, Ludwig quit;

But after investing $845 million in the complex, Mr. Ludwig is calling it quits. He is turning over the grandiose jungle development plan and its acreage, as big as Connecticut, to an all-Brazilian consortium being formed by private businessmen.

The reason: Mr. Ludwig was unable to overcome the problems of Amazon development. The tropical rain forest that blankets the 2-million-square-mile Amazonia kept swallowing up his development.

The scary part? about a year later, you could not tell from space that they cleared anything at all. The plant is active now and producing pulp, but it took decades to bring it online and it has been a sinkhole of Brazilian money.

It is going to sound like spooky tales, but the Amazonian Jungle is a living entity on its own. There is no such thin as Old Growth Forests because the roots do not penetrate the ground much if at all. The Amazon creates its own “soil” and in fact it is the champion mulcher of the world.  Old vegetation becomes the soil where future trees and bushes will grow and EVERYTHING grows fast down there. People living in the jungle carry machetes everywhere because they must clear roads and pathway from vegetation every day or risk being swallowed and work three times as hard to clear it. That bring us back to how to clear a plot of land for farming: Slash and burn.

So save your pennies because they are not going to be used to fight fires but line the pockets of some environmentalists. To kill the Amazon Jungle I figure about a dozen Fission bombs may do the job, but even so I would not guarantee it would remain done for long.

Trump has an almost superhuman ability to say exactly the wrong thing on camera. It’s uncanny.

Holy-fucking-shit-balls, really?

I’m not a hypocrite, I stand by my principles.  I will admit that I agree with Trump.  Readers of this blog know of my seething hatred for Leftist Jews who give credence to the worst antisemites out of intersectional wokeness.

Every time some Lefty Jews stands next to a Palestinian activist and says “I think Israel is an apartheid state/Netanyahu is Hitler/Israel acts like Nazis/etc” what that are doing is giving Jewish support to Jewish genocide.  Because as we all learned from Antifa, is that if someone is a Nazi it’s okay to hurt them and all it takes to identify someone as a Nazi is to call them that.

As a Jew, you don’t have to like Israel.  You don’t have to go there.  You don’t have to agree with the Israeli government on anything.

What you shouldn’t do is legitimize the antisemitic conspiracy theories and accusations leveled at Israel or Jews in general by vicious Jew-haters who only want to destroy Israel and the Jewish people.

If you can’t do that and feel a compelling intersectional justification for Palestinian terrorism, you can very kindly go do an impression of someone who agreed to testify against the Clintons.  Because what you are doing is risking the lives of other Jews.

All that said, for Trump to use the word “disloyal” and all the antisemitic baggage that goes with it, was fucking stupid.

What that does is it allows people like Ilhan Omar, and all her of supporters and followers to say “Trump is the real antisemite, Ilhan is just an innocent victim.”

Oh my ??‍♀️ https://t.co/hChOjPAzHV

— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) August 20, 2019

Yeah.

My honest to God opinion is this.

Trump is perhaps the most inelegant President to hold office since the invention of the live broadcast.

But I don’t think he is, deep down, and antisemite.  He says stupid shit because he fires off his mouth before he’s fully engaged his brain, but I don’t think he’s a real Jew-hater.

Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and the Woke Left are true, dyed in the wool, antisemites.  They hate Jews.  You can see it in the way that they manage to blame the Jews for everything.

But that distinction doesn’t matter for people whose deepest thoughts are about as deep as a puddle of piss on a men’s room floor.

Trump said it so now Omar and Tlaib are off the hook for everything they have ever said.

Some on the right might try and accuse the Left of hypocrisy but that is a pointless exercise.  Being a hypocrite means having principles and standards and holding others to them while going against those principles and standards yourself.  The Left is nothing but hypocrites with double standards because the only core principle they have is the acquisition of power.  Holding principles and standards is only useful in hobbling opponents by holding them to said principles.

What the end result of this is, is any headway that could have been made by pointing out the virulent antisemitism of the far Left is gone.  Wiped away.

This is, for most people, now just a way to dig at opponents, mainly on the Right.  Every Republican is going to be forced into a struggle session to denounce Trump over this and any mention of Omar and Tlaib, who are real threats to Jewish survival, will be dismissed at whataboutism.

We are now in a world where the Progressives can literally shove Jews into gas chambers and all they have to say is “but Trump said this” as a distraction.

This is a fucking shitnado and we’ll be lucky to survive it.

I’m going to buy more ammo.

By the accent of the woman (who is probably now included in the Secret Service investigation list) she must be Mexican.

Translation of what she is saying while stabbing Trump’s piñata:

“Fuck your mother, asshole.”
“Leave us alone, now. You understand nothing.”
“You don’t understand what Mexico is.”
“The people in the United States does not understand a thing” (Off camera voice)
“(Unintelligible) I take his heart out”
“Your whore daughter (Unintelligible)”
“(Unintelligible) witch that I hate”

A lot of the conversation is lost because of the laughter.  But that is pretty much the sentiment for the President and Americans in general outside the US. Yes, including the Socialists that want Open Borders they can take advantage of. No, they don’t see you as a good person but as a pendejo, a useful idiot.

I had several readers who sent me this story (much appreciated, guys):

Just last week, a man in Florida had his firearms confiscated simply because he had the same name as a criminal. That’s right. A man was stripped of his Second Amendment right…because the police failed to differentiate a law-abiding citizen with a thug.

Florida Man Lost His 2A Rights, Thanks To Red Flag Laws And Mistaken Identity

As privacy goes, I take pleasure on the fact that my name is very common in South Florida because hiding a needle in a bin full of needles is the perfect camouflage. The last time there was a fill sized White Pages available, I counted over 220 people with my same name in the county.

Of course, there is  disadvantage: A certain number of those with my same name, may be attracted to the wrong side of the law.  Meet one of them:

This particular Gonzalez is the worst of the batch of 42 felons who share my name. But is not the ranking that makes him special, but that he almost cost me a denial when I ws getting a gun from a shop. Apparently FDLE searched my name, a glitch occurred and the gent pop up in their screens. I was saved because even FDLE figured out that if the gentleman was incarcerated, he’d have a difficult time trying to buy a gun. While they ran the background check again, the FFL jokingly asked me if I had been convicted of First Degree murder and you can imagine my surprised face.  The new BG check came back all aces and I was able to get my firearm.

The rest of the characters have felonies of all kinds, violent and otherwise. From Second Degree Murder, all kinds of drug-related offenses to the simpleton absconder who violated parole on a misdemeanor. And here is the kicker: Only three of them are serving time, the rest are out because they finished serving their time, on parole or absconded. That means Law Enforcement has 39 chances to screw me up serving a Red Flag order. And then, it is up to me to fix their mistake by hiring a lawyer and fighting to remove me from their shit list and recovering my guns. Will I recover  the monies I will be forced to spend? Doubtfully.

We had a great system going in Florida before our :Legislature and Governor fell for the WE MUST DO SOMETHING! FOR THE CHILDREN! panic attack. At least you had the chance to face your accusers and have a judge render a decision before having your rights stripped.

PS: I realized I have no way to add to the count  the namesakes with a misdemeanor Domestic Violence.

Via Bearing Arms.

President Donald Trump reportedly privately reassured National Rifle Association boss Wayne LaPierre  that he would not pursue increased background check measures for firearms amid rising mass shooting concerns.

Trump, whose comments to LaPierre were reported by The Atlantic, made the guarantee during a phone call on Tuesday afternoon — a day after he told reporters that the U.S. already has “very strong” background checks and warned that increasing such measures could lead to a “slippery slope” where all guns are taken away. One source told The Atlantic that Trump cemented “his stance that we already have background checks and that he’s not waffling on this anymore” during his chat with the NRA chief.

If Trump’s stance is right and final, then LaPierre scored big for Gun Rights much to the dismay of his absolute haters in the gun community and in the Gun Control side. Say what you want about him, but LaPierre has no issues playing bulldozer and face attackers.

I know that there will be those who will belittle this result. I mean because of BUMPSTOCKS and they still can’t buy machine guns at the local gas station yet, this is another failure of the NRA and we need people who screams NO COMPROMISE! (Incidentally, did you hear about those people and how they convinced the president? Me neither).

We still have many issues to resolve within. And to me, more important than the accusations of frivolous spending by The Trace (readily consumed and regurgitated by Gun Owners) is the fact we still do not know who gave the NRA’s internal information to Bloomberg and his scribes. Has the mole been discovered? Is he/she out? Has he/she been “Hillaried”?  Is this being investigated at all?

I think we are going to see some amazing cliffhangers in the future, specially if all the lawsuits do not get settled and we go to court. If there is something I learned about Wayne and his circle is that they are the most dangerous when they are quiet and let everybody scream and yell first and then they take their sweet time taking all the screaming down.

PS: Yes, I have to like the guy a little. Imagine if the coup had been successful: who would have been an experienced and proven substitute to deal with the flood of crap Gun Owners are facing right now? Wayne’s real biggest fault? A lack of a trained successor.

From Fox 46:

ICE blasts Mecklenburg County sheriff following release of Honduran national accused of rape

The release of a rape suspect has reignited an immigration enforcement debate.

Last week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Oscar Pacheco-Leonardo, 33, a Honduran national, according to a news release. He was arrested on June 14 charged with first degree rape and indecent liberties with a child. Two days later, on June 16, Pacheco-Leonardo was released from the Mecklenburg County Jail on a $100,000 bond.

McFadden would not take any questions. He said his agency notified ICE, as required, that Pacheco-Leonardo was in their custody.

“When we notified ICE on June 14th, they had the discretion to bring a criminal warrant or a detainer,” he said. “They sent us a detainer.”

The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office does not honor ICE detainers, which are voluntary requests to hold an inmate for up to 48 hours after their release date so federal officials can decide whether the person can be deported.

We have gone past the point of insanity in American politics.  The idea of sanctuary cities is ridiculous on its face, local governments deciding that they are just going to ignore Federal law.

But when it comes to something like this, what sort of Sheriff would willingly let a child rapist hit the streets when there was another opportunity to hold him?

“I hate Trump so much I don’t care if another child is raped on my watch” is a hell of a position to take, but he took it anyway.

This is where we are in 2019, we have a Sheriff in North Carolina’s largest county who is going to let children in his jurisdiction get raped just to spite Trump.
