Words have no meaning anymore – Home Depot edition

Bernie Marcus, one of the co-founders of Home Depot is supporting Donald Trump because of his economic policy.  Marcus is a big supporter of American Entrepreneurship.

Of course, the Left is going hard against Home Depot now.

Then I saw this Tweet.

Bernie Marcus and Arthur Blank, the two primary founders of Home Depot are both Jewish.

Marcus is also a huge philanthropist supporting everything from the Atlanta Aquarium to a foundation for developmentally disabled children.

But being Republicans, at least one who supports Trump, that makes them White Supremacists.  Jewish White Supremacists.

Because the Democrats’ plan will hurt business growth and the economy.

Words have no meaning any more in today’s politics.

#Equalplay #Equalpay needs to be put to the test

I saw this come across my Twitter feed:

And my mind, twisted as usual, thought the following: We need some ultra rich guy to pony up $5 million or Euro equivalent for a winner-takes-all match between the US Women’s team and, let’s say a second division winner from Spain or Italy.

And let it rip.

Why not First Division or National Teams? Because I an am asshole. Second division teams in Europe are the guys that are pretty good, but not First Division UEFA-World Cup power and style. I guess it is the soccer equivalent of Triple A with the difference that if the team plays very very good, the whole packet can get kicked upstairs which means some team in First can be shipped down to second.

These teams are hungry teams and if they are Spanish or Italian, then Megan Rapinoe and her babes would facing eleven Clubber-Lang-hungry male players who will not give two craps if they hurt their feeling or their kneecaps.  I may have forgotten to mention that Spain and Italy play a very physical version of the game at that level, very few theatrics. Add to the mix a heavy dose of machismo (“Losing to  woman? Never!”) and a bounty of $5 million for one game and it will make for an interesting test to see if the Women’s Team  can cash with their play the checks they keep issuing with their mouths.

I smell a heavy overdraft.

Antifa in Alabama

Yesterday, Miguel asked Why no Antifa in Florida?

He proposed that it is because of Florida’s anti-mask law.

We have those in Alabama as well, for the same reason.  They were created to combat the Klan.

Ours are not as brutal, they are part of loitering law.  However, they are strictly enforced by police who do not budge an inch on the subject.

Back in 2017, Richard Spencer spoke at Auburn University.

Antifa showed up with the clear intentions of going all Berkeley on campus and causing havoc.

Auburn Police showed up to prevent that from getting out of hand.

Auburn Police clearly did not attend the same police academy as Berkeley campus police or Portland PD.  They did not take shit from masked Antifa.

No hoodies, no masks.”

Just look at how they turned into chicken-shits as soon as their masks came off.  Trying to hide their faces from the camera with their hands, slinking down the sidewalk.

They are bold when they think they can’t be identified.  All that has to be done to is take away their anonymity.

Auburn police were not afraid of arresting people who got out of hand either.

Go right ahead and start some shit, you will end up in handcuffs, on the ground, bleeding from your head, being hauled off to jail.

There hasn’t been an Antifa action in Alabama since then that I can find.

Letting them wear masks or hide their faces and letting them get away with violence, that is how things get out of hand.

Taking away their masks and cracking down on bad actors keeps the rest of them in line.

Old Fart’s Metal Concert

I was blessed with a wife who shared my feelings that a true vacation involves a fine hotel with room service. But movies and concerts were still fair game till the negatives (mostly people and price beating a close second) surpassed the main attraction.  And living in south Florida where you only have three weeks of no-hurricane, very low chance of rain & cool temperatures, event-makers tend to stack all the good events in that short time frame, so way too many idiots out there.

“I can’t miss at that distance.”

Usually considered one of the traditional Last Words, but in this case nobody was killed.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) – A Chesterfield family spoke with 8News Friday after fending off a naked intruder who broke into their home on South Twilight Lane the night before. The intruder claimed to be the devil and attacked the family, prompting the homeowner to fire 39 rounds.

The incident was a traumatic experience for the Lewis family’s first night in their brand new home.

“She was in to kill us,” Melissa Lewis said, “that was her almighty, to kill us. She attacked us and I held her down just kept on punching her and punching her as hard as I possibly could.”

Chesterfield family fends off naked intruder who claimed to be the devil: ‘She was in to kill us’

Here come the bad news: The home owner missed every shot. He claims they were “warning shots” but after if after the first magazine the invader keeps advancing, you need to swap tactics and employ deadly force.

This is just my particular thoughts: The owner simply missed all the shots. Mind you, it is not easy to willfully make the decision to possibly end a life and it is also very hard to properly and accurately shoot a firearm under the adrenalin dump of fear. And if the situation involved moving of both shooter ad target, you are adding more to the crap pie.

And that is why you require to take training and also practice under stress. One can be accomplished with a good instructor and the other can be achieved via competitive shooting like USPA, IDPA and yes, even Cowboy Action. Any sport where the pressure of a timer and witnesses is involved will inject adrenalin to your system. No, it is not the same as a real life or death situation, but it runs the same basic principles and you learn how to recognize the effect and take the proper actions to shoot accurately.

And speaking about shooting accurately: If your training regiment does not include head shots, and I mean shots to the head that will target the “switch”, you must correct that because sometimes people are the monsters of lore and do not take the hint of several shots to the midsection..
