Recent West Point Graduate Is A Communist.

He's recently graduated from West Point. Was recently assigned to Ft. Drum and is in dire need of a transfer to Afghanistan. While in West Point he vamboozled the overhead, the staff, his fellow classmates (or not) and on his graduation day he discloses his motives for attending West Point and his love of communism... not to mention his love for "Chelsea" Manning.

It sounds to me like  Second Lieutenant Spenser Rapone needs a re-assignment, a deployment to Afghanistan. Send him out into the remote, jihadist, guerrilla populated mountains with his assigned platoon of seasoned veterans and give the vets in his platoon AK's as a secondary weapon. Ensure the vets have whatever rounds their quarry are using at the time of Rapone's deployment. Let Rapone lead the way.

I'm pretty sure battlefield justice will take over from there.

If the fool's smart enough to outsmart the West Point selection folks and the Academy's cadre then he's no dummy. Or at least he wasn't until he showed his true love for communism and Che Guevara, et. al.

If he doesn't like our values, our country then he has no business being in our military. The problem is he probably bumped someone else who's most likely far more qualified for the West Point assignment than him from attending West Point just so he could make his liberal, communist statement.

You know, the Army can also simply wrap him up in a bow and send him to Chelsea Manning. Better yet, give ol' Rapone the boot out of the military, a dishonorable discharge and be done with the fool. He'll show up later on down the road on a communist ballot for some friggin' political office somewhere, most likely.

Gun Arrests Increase

Those of us who are illegally in possession of firearms are being arrested. As it should be!

The arrests of those who have illegally acquired a firearm and/or are otherwise in possession of a firearm when they're not legally allowed to be has increased by 23% thanks to Attorney General Jeff Sessions latest orders to those federal agencies and agents enforcing our laws.

This should help remove those of us who are allowed by the second amendment to possess and carry firearms from the scrutiny of the liberal gun hounds and their handlers. At least for the time being.

The bottom line, if you've sacrificed your Second Amendment right to possess, carry a firearm then you may be on Jeff Session's  hit list.

I'm not on the hit list. Not anymore. I never legally was on the guv'ment's hit list. The liberals have left the building.

At least for now.

Thanks for sharing this Dan! It's good info.

NFL's Trying To Salvage What They Once Had?!

Maybe, but let's hope they're toast. As long as they're around there's going to be other attempts at this shat.

Personally I found a whole new world out there on my Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays. I want to thank the National Football League and their overpaid, prima-donna "players" for, well trying to "play" us, their "fans". They tried to play us and it seems to have backfired a bit... so far.

But this retired cop's spot on!!!

"Nope, that dog ain’t gonna hunt, at least not in my house"! Nope, not in mine either Dustin Rogers. Thanks for your uplifting post...

..."like a Walmart bookshelf"!

Now that's funny!!!

The NFL, a thing of the past

Hopefully. It is for this household anyways. I've been a fan of the NFL before the Dallas, Greenbay Ice Bowl. I loved the game, was inspired by the teamwork, the commitment that had to occur to play the game. I played as long and as hard as I could.

I loved to play American Football. I loved everything about it... until lately.

Now, I can't stand to turn on a game let alone listen to or watch the "updates" on our local news. I rejoice now when I learn my once favorite team loses. I have no respect for any of them anymore. I'm hoping they're going to fail and fade away into oblivion much like those other self centered, greater than thou clowns out there who think they own us and everything we do.

So, to say I'm no longer a fan is an understatement. I'm delighted to hear that the NFL's Sunday night's ratings dropped considerably!

Now let's focus on getting them off of the field entirely.

NFL, GO TO HELL!

An open letter to the NFL, to the players in general...

To my old lifelong NFL friends,

I had an epiphany...

It has nothing wholly to do with the NFL but it does have to do with self serving athletes and their absurd "outbursts", "demonstrations"...

I've come to the realization that (as many of you point out) they absolutely have no reason to complain but they do. They have absolutely no regard for anyone's interests but their own. Unlike many of you though (and there's absolutely no slight against any of you intended), I believe they know what they're doing. They know they're in a position of some self perceived "authority" to impose upon others what they demand and they're doing just that. They'll do it until the funds fade away and their self importance diminishes over time. I think it's a choreographed plan. It's a simple plan, it isn't confusing and they thought it through. They're willing to run the risk of losing money knowing they most likely won't lose all that much in the end. But, they will earn more when it's all over and done with.

The players, the NFL employees, they're so self important that they truly believe they're ambassadors of social change. They're not. If they're to be ambassadors of social change then leave the gridiron, go to the inner-cities and effect positive changes. Give the millions they earned to charity and live the life the apostles lived. Live among the poor, the diseased, the hungry, the challenged... not for a day, a week, a month but for the rest of their lives.

Effect those changes from within. Put their money where their mouths are. Don't just fly into a major city, hop a limo to the inner city and mingle with the crowd for a half hour, an hour or so.... GIVE IT ALL UP AND LIVE THERE WITH THEM! Effect change, don't try to affect it by tossing money at it. Actually live, share, experience their lives. Not the ones you lived "back in the day" in those cities but the ones they're living now.

If these "professional" (as in paid exorbitantly) athletes truly want to make a difference then get off of the field and get into the ghetto life. Stay there until you make the changes you sought to make. All of the "police brutality", all of the "racism", all of the "gangsta activity", all of the single parent families struggling to make ends meet... help put an end to it by living it, calling it out whenever you see it and ensure it never returns. Educate the youth, the parents, the siblings, the career politicos, the mentors...

Leave the gridiron and make a difference. Don't pout and throw your sorry arsed tantrums out there on the field. Don't toss around your short lived self perceived importance. That doesn't serve to help anyone. DO SOMETHING!

Finally, as an aside...

Isn't Dennis Rodman one of North Korea's Kim Jong Un's favorite NBA play toys? I'm only asking this because there's an obvious link between money, self importance, perception, physical talent, conceit and greed. It doesn't seem to matter what sport, or for that matter what career so long as they're filthy rich and insist they're talented beyond belief, whether they are or not.

But Rodman?! Important?! I wonder how he's going to feel when he gets strapped to the muzzles of an AA gun in the middle of the "arena" in front of an audience of NK school girls who are being groomed to service the little dictator with the funny haircut. Yep, pro sports athletes have really let their manufactured self importance, their overblown egos, their entire existence go to their heads haven't they. Much like the hollywood stars do. It's funny what a little bit of money will do to a previously likeable and entertaining human being. For many of them money turns them into greedy, annoying, obnoxious, conceited, self important sorry excuses for human beings.

Good riddance NFL.

One Lone Warrior...

Not every one of the NFL folks are the cowards that some think they are. There's at least one who bucked his orders by his coach and respected our nation, our unity and there's some team owners who ensured their team were on the field. But then there were those who, while on the field found their way to protest.

And protest they did. But not Alejandro Villaneuva. He didn't protest our country, our flag. He didn't disrespect our heritage.

Alejandro Villaneuva is a PATRIOT! Being the Army Ranger veteran he is he knows what it's all about to love our country.

Alejandro said... "“I will stand very proudly and sing every single line of the national anthem every single time I hear it. I will stop whatever I’m doing because I recognize I have to be very thankful to be in this country.” On top of his most likely alienation by his fellow players he's gambling his hefty salary for his love of our country. He's known to be a team player but he refuses to disrespect our country. Now that's a patriot!

By doing so he went against the cowardly Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin's direction and left the team of misfits cowering in the locker room so he could respect our country. He's the only Pittsburgh Steeler to come out onto the field, stand and respect our country, our unity, our national anthem during the Steeler's vs Bears game.

I'm done with the NFL! We cancelled our xfinity nfl network package today only because I couldn't get it done yesterday.

God Bless America.

NFL, Go To Hell!

Ben Carson, A Voice of Reason!

Now here's the guy who would have received my vote for POTUS if he would have made it that far. He didn't. I blame myself for that because whoever I happen to support usually gets the early boot. It's just my "kiss of death" for a candidate... me supporting them.

Either way, Ben Carson gives his (as usual) well thought out, guiding comments to those prima-donnas who make up the NFL. Hopefully another soon to be defunct "Football League".

May God continue to BLESS AMERICA!

Will Someone Please Define Their Version Of Police Brutality?!

Here's my take. I wrote this in response to a post to an article I read by a young lad who's totally oblivious to the real world.

DEFINE POLICE BRUTALITY, PLEASE!

A simple note, a request to "AD", an individual who commented re: a recent article I read on another publication's site.

"AD" Define "Police Brutality" please. 

Use a universal definition if you wish but define it. I'd prefer the universal definition. Just a little background here. I'm an Army veteran, served with the 82nd. Airborne and the 9th Infantry, 1972-75. I was a law enforcement officer from 1975-2015. I have two college degrees. I still "dabble" in law enforcement when necessary and when I'm called to "dabble" in it. Throughout my career I didn't get home every night like I thought I would but I did eventually get home. I did ensure that every bad guy I ever encountered got the opportunity to get the justice they deserved, they earned regardless of their crime. I always left the "justice" part up to a judge or jury or God himself . In the end, a few didn't ever go home again but I have to say they did get the justice they deserved. I can count on three fingers the times I was accused of police brutality. None of those charges ever passed muster. Not because the "job" was stacked against the accuser but because the accuser was lucky to be living. If anything my use of reasonable force was called into question more often than not because I chose the lesser of the many evils and still effected the arrest(s). Albeit with new aches and pains, scrapes and bruises and broken bones for all involved in the fracas'. In the end, I believe every cop... every true cop believes all involved needs to survive the fracas, the arrest. "Brutality" is nothing more than a hue and cry from the left, from those who wish to wrest us back into a totalitarian nightmare much like Europe experienced in the 30's and 40's. The left throws the term out like college kids throw condoms to the curb on prom night. The left uses it to distract, to serve as a magnet for those who might have some doubt, for those who are weak and impressionable, for those who are seeking attention, recognition. Once the left, the shat stirrers find they have an audience to their lunacy, their intended means they run with it. Nope... me going home and the puke I arrested going to jail isn't a product of police brutality, it's an example of, a product of effective training by our mentors and subsequently, proper policing. There are limits to the use of force... legal limits too. When the legal limits are exceeded then by all means make the charge, make the challenge. I may just join in with you because I don't want my noble profession tainted by bad behavior. And admittedly sometimes it was, sometimes it is and quit frankly it will be again. But to lay a blanket claim of universal "police brutality"!! To claim there's an overwhelming undercurrent of "police brutality" in the profession! Well, bub... you have absolutely no idea what law enforcement entails let alone what the world around you is all about.

NFL GO TO HELL!

I'm done with all of these fat cat millionaires and their anti-America antics.

They can call it what they want. Label it however they want to label it, wrap it up with whatever cover they want to wrap it in but quite frankly they live the high life and these prima-donna, fat arsed millionaires have no business telling us how difficult life is out here in the real blue collar world!

Race division is a tool used by the elite to maintain instability. I guarantee you when you're out here in the real world and you're in need of some help or simply wanting some casual, friendly exchanges you won't care what race the person is you'll simply interact with them accordingly. But most of you in the NFL were never really out here in the real world for any length of time to know what it means to be able to wake up the next morning and still have a job to go to, a family to share time, experiences with and enough money to pay the bills with maybe a little left over to buy gas or even take in a movie or something.

Many of you went from rags to riches overnight and now think that money talks, money does it all, money buys importance. It doesn't, it simply exposes the ugliness in those who aren't deserving of it. Too much, too quick, too soon simply fosters more greed, more self serving importance and a sense of faux "status". You're not important. You play a game and you're in the entertainment industry. You have short careers because the game you play is a game of violence. You get paid exorbitant wages for your short careers because your career's life expectancy is short. Outside of being an entertainer, a fool for violence what do you have? An off-season of aches, pains, uncertainty?

Bottom line National Football League players and employees I mean nothing to you hence you mean nothing to me. You're nothing more than gifted athletes with a short career life span. My career lasted forty years. I managed to get things done on a pittance compared to the volumes of cash you make. I've served my time protecting our nation and later my neighborhoods. I'm proud of what I did and I hold my head high. I have no trophies on my mantle, I don't have a six, seven, eight digit retirement salary. I live modestly. I have one wife and my children and grandchildren that I've known and loved all of my adult life.

I live in the real world. I was born to it, grew up in it and will die a free man in the real world. And this free world, our mighty fine United States of America... this free world will live on! In spite of your greed, your shenanigans, your self righteous greater than thou attitudes. So keep in mind you've lost one very long time fan simply because of your greed, your self service, your perceived "self importance".

America does not need the national football league.

The NFL and its players are so far removed from the reality of life that they have absolutely no idea what they're protesting.

OUR FLAG?! OUR COUNTRY?! OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM?! OUR PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE?!

You fools protest those very things so dear to us that so many of us willingly sacrificed life, limb and freedom for. You protest the very notion of our country? Our unity? For what? For self serving recognition. For racial divide?!

Nah, I'm done with the national football league and I'm done with your idiotic "demonstrations". As it was, is and will be... from now on it's me, mine and our own. Each person, each family for themselves.

You want division? You've got it!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Europe: A Muslim Caliphate In Short Order

In 30 to 40 years the Mideast muslims who invaded Europe today, they and their spawn will be the majority in Europe. It's a simple, mathematical fact.

I included a link to an article authored by Drieu Godefridi in The Gatestone Institute that IMHO correctly labels the muslim "invasion" of Europe as the beginning of  "The Great White Death" in Europe, as we now know it.

The sad and maddening fact is that many of the European leaders embrace the idea.

Personally, I won't be around to experience the pain but those of mine who follow me will be affected by the fall of Europe as we know it if someone over there doesn't get a handle on sanity soon!

A Huntington Beach, California Police Shooting.

I received this information re: an officer involved shooting that's been partially videoed  by an innocent bystander. The confrontation allegedly started prior to the videoing of the incident.

According to the information given, A Huntington Beach Police Officer encounters a subject at a local 7-11 store in Huntington Beach, CA and during the encounter a fight ensues between the two. The officer and the subject somehow go to the ground.

The bystander who videoed the remainder of the encounter was waiting for someone else in a parked car in the store's parking lot. He/she started videoing the ground encounter on his/her cell phone.

In the initial footage of the video it's apparent to me anyways that the officer is trying to gain control of the subject's arms. The officer is on top of the subject and appears to have one of the subject's wrists somewhat restrained while trying to gain control of the other one. The subject who is on the ground, on his back beneath the officer appears to remove something from the officer's duty belt with his right hand. The subject also appears to look at it and appears to show it to the officer. It even appears the subject tries to employ whatever he removed from the officer's duty belt against him. At the 014-017 mark in the video the officer appears to recognize a threat from the subject and the object removed and disengages himself from the ground fighting. The officer pushes the subject's head away and stands up, drawing his sidearm as he stands.

Once the officer is standing and has his sidearm drawn he appears to step away from the subject all the while giving the subject verbal commands.The subject appears to ignore the officer's commands, stands up and starts towards the officer with the object in his right hand... the subject even looks at the object.

With his sidearm pointed at the subject the officer gives the subject more verbal commands as the subject continues towards him, closing to well within fifteen feet of the officer. The officer eventually employs lethal force and subsequently neutralized the perceived threat.

The six million dollar question is what did the bad guy take out of the officer's duty belt?!

I'm thinking it was a knife or at least the officer thought it was a knife.

I have news for the NFL...

I quit watching and following their crap when they started protesting our existence as a nation, our flag, our national anthem. There's nothing racist about me but I am a patriot and I refuse to support any anti-American, anti-USA theme!

We were in this all together at one time. Not so much anymore I guess...

Goodell and the NFL can kiss my arse! But by all means protest more because there's a lot more folks like me out here who are turning their backs to overpaid athletes who think they're God's gift to the rest of us.

RIP NFL!

God Bless America!!!

And Yet Another Hillary Video.

“This video from my local bookstore @scatteredbooks in Chappaqua put a smile on my face! Love the soundtrack, too,” Hillary Clinton's post to twitter said.

Now that's a coffee through the nose moment...

It's truly pathetic. This time it's about her most recent novel, "What Happened". Oh hillary, give it a break! Please make it stop. You're embarrassing to watch, to listen to. I'm embarrassed for you and I despise you!

Evidently the Butcher Bitch of Benghazi, hillary clinton just can't get enough abuse. I'm beginning to think she actually enjoys being called out for her narcissism, her incessant lies, her bizarre, irrational behavior. I'm think she'll settle for being publicly abused just to be, well, PUBLIC.

Here's a clip of the ol' Butcher Bitch of Benghazi's (hillary clinton) most recent book promotion that made her "smile". Keep in mind she claims it's all an "impromptu", "unsolicited"... totally "out of the blue" video that was independently created (wink-wink) and published by a youthful group of her followers whilst the kids were at a local community bookstore perusing her novel. You know, just doing things that most kids do these days with "snapchat" and all. Making videos hyping a low level novel authored by a failed politico.

That video's about as impromptu as our four seasons, personal birthdays and holidays are.

It's a disease I tell you. She's so infatuated with herself that she, her ego can't believe others don't believe her, don't like her, don't trust her. EVEN WHEN SHE BLATANTLY LIES which seems to me to be most of the time she can't believe she's not being believed.

Either way, the comments following the video are priceless, as usual. Typical hillary bullshat. She always generates something humorous when she's trying to be serious.

I'll make this simple for her.

HILLARY, YOU LOST!

WE DIDN'T, DON'T AND WON'T WANT YOU FOR ANYTHING. GIVE IT A REST. RETIRE ALREADY AND FIND SOME DIGNITY SOMEWHERE. For what it's worth it's my opinion that you never really amounted to anything reasonable, publicly publicly or privately on any independent voter's ballot. Your sordid history precedes you and those you associate with.

Give it up already. Fade away into retirement.... try to salvage as much honor and dignity that you can salvage.

John McCain says "no" to health care.

...again.

Arizona! Do your job!

John McCain is certainly not a conservative, let alone is he one to favor our health.

Though let's be fair. He has the best health care in the world being as he's a politico serving as a Senator at our expense. He has no worries, no reasons to worry about health care so why should he. In the meantime the rest of us have to dabble with what we can... home made remedies, forego those services we can't afford, run unnecessary health risks in order to live day to day given the incomes we receive.

Even at that, we're good to go with not having just any ol' health care bill shoved down our throats... you know, like the one that was voted on several years back... the one that folks had to vote on before they could read it and had to read it before they knew what was in it.

So what'd they do?

They voted on it... obummer-care. An expensive, do nothing for you "health care" for us middle class minions who happened to have jobs and were expected to pay exorbitant prices for treatments and remedies we could illegally get or purchase internationally. Yep, obummercare opened up a whole new underground health market that took advantage of all things middle class.

And McCain supports it.

McCain is not our friend. He needs to leave... soon. I can't help but think this is McCain's "touche" to us peons before he finally checks out.

Ft. Collins, Colorado selectively enforces our laws?!

The city of Ft. Collins, Colorado recently removed a very highly qualified police chief applicant from their top list of six candidates because the applicant  wouldn't selectively enforce the laws of the land.

It seems the applicant, a recently retired and very qualified Chief Criminal Deputy from the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) in central Arizona was in support of protecting our nation from the massive influx of illegal aliens.

Steve Henry, a 55 yrs. old military veteran with over 23 years of law enforcement applied for the position and made it to the final six applicants. He was "dumped" from the list "because he publicly supported an Arizona law (SB1070) that makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. without proper documentation and bans “sanctuary city” policies. The measure also allows local law enforcement officers throughout the state to inquire about suspects’ immigration status."

In other words, Ft. Collins, Colorado summarily dismissed Mr. Henry from the "short list" of candidates simply because he favored the unbiased enforcement of the laws of our nation, our society.

Unbiased enforcement of the laws of our community, our nation, our society is a trait that should be required of any stellar applicant for any law enforcement position in this country in my opinion. 

But then again, I'm old school law enforcement. We enforced the laws on the book, not the laws preferred by politicos, special interest groups, criminal organizations and activists.

Yep, we're fighting an internal battle of our life for our country right now.

The Beasts Eat Their Own

I've said this in the past and I still haven't been convinced otherwise, Islam, muslims, daesh... call it what you will... they are not anything about "PEACE". At least not about a shared peace with anyone, anything not muslim, islamic.

A muslim's professed intolerance of the "moderate muslims" simply suggests they're not going to change. They're not going to condone the moderate muslim reformers but they'll use those "moderate" imams to their advantage.

Case in point...

"Abdelbaki Essati, the imam the authorities believe was at the center of terrorist attacks in and around Barcelona, was apparently a master of deception -- "too polite, too correct". He was apparently able to deceive European intelligence services by preaching a "moderate" version of Islam, while at the same time, orchestrating deadly jihadist attacks."...

abdelbake essati called himself a "moderate muslim". It was subsequently determined he was nothing more than a muslim, "moderate" or otherwise.

Taqiya, taqqiyah... the practice of muslims lying to achieve acceptance from those who aren't muslims (and some of those who are). It's alive and well in Europe, the next caliphate. I have a problem with the term "moderate muslims". I mean, if they're preaching the koran, quran... whatever you want to call that book. If they're preaching from it and preaching in earnest from it then they're absolutely not teaching peace.

If they're recruiting in Europe then it's to establish a caliphate. A European caliphate for one of their satanic "muslim" leaders.

Merkel's most likely going to be one of those muslim's short lived roof top spectacles when the muslims take charge.

Moderate muslims are nothing more than enablers!

Well hell! Where's the Wall already?!

Israel's making one!

And it's already having an affect! Why are we delaying? Build the wall already!!!

Israel's border has tunnels, our border has tunnels. Fix it Trump! Build that darned wall!

In the meantime Hamas, Hezbollah and all those other yahoos who want to destroy Israel are being hand spooned money... U.S. dollars I might add by obummer and his Iranian buddy that sheik alla babba dude.

Barack hussein obama and Iran! Where'd the money go?

Remember when your POSPOTUS Barack Hussein Obama sent plane loads of cash to Iran one dark and stormy night before that failed POSPOTUS obummer got the boot?! 

Well, here's a take of where some of that cash went... and is still going.

Iran seems to be lining the pockets of terrorists with at least SOME of the cash your failed POSPOTUS barack hussein obummer handed over to Iran. And they're not going to stop any time soon.

"Last month, Hamas terrorist leader Yahya Sinwar admitted relations with Iran are excellent and Iran is the largest supporter of the [Hamas military wing] Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades with money and arms."

"Iran reportedly provides Hamas with about $60-$70 million."

Tell me again that POSPOTUS barack hussein obummer was our friend, was looking out for our interests, wasn't our enemy! 

You're a fool if you believe what you were told by obama and a liar if you repeat it with any hint of agreement! The proof's in the pudding and quite frankly it wasn't all that veiled of a "gift" anyways. Everyone and their brother knew obummer was lining the pockets of terrorists throughout his time in office spent betraying us and more importantly before he left office. 

Allegedly, (wink-wink).

obama's not our friend. He never was, he never will be. He was a bought and paid for shill who was groomed to do just what he did. Except he didn't finish the job. I'd call obummer a traitor but I truly don't think he had nor does he have any allegiance to our country whatsoever. 

We haven't heard the end of that puke!

All of this is, of course IMHO!

More About Terror and the European Union

But in essence this is more about the state of our global security and societal sanity. That given, let's get started...

Members of the European Union have clipped the wings of their existing Intelligence agencies, respectively to the level of borderline "inept-ness". Frustration runs rampant within the rank and file of the law enforcement and intelligence agencies. At least, that's my perspective.

To put it into very general terms, these agencies are designed to gather information that might be counter productive to their nation's (at least) or their multi national region's (at best) best interests. That's a very simplistic take on their duties but it should suffice for the sake of this discussion.

The forbidden word "profile" and the verboten yet productive practice of "profiling" pukes, terrorists, bad guys, WHATEVER... has, well, rendered the local, regional, national and global intelligence industry AND the respective law enforcement industry's capabilities to detect and prevent crimes before they happen, ineffective.

I admit AND agree there should be a line drawn when "profiling" individuals, groups, activities gets out of hand but don't take the tool out of the tool box. You cripple the industry, you cripple our very security when you do. Punish those who knowingly abused their authority. Educate those who were truly ignorant.

Rather than prohibit the tool to be used by the industry simply teach the apprentice or the journeyman how to use that tool properly, legally, effectively and let them do their job!

Law enforcement and Intelligence agencies simply can't do their jobs when they can't incorporate the very statistics their respective industries gather and provide into their respective "investigations"... the historical data at least. They can't effectively complete their tasks at hand and they can't effectively protect those who they're sworn to protect.

In essence our global "society" has diluted our intelligence and law enforcement organizations to the point where they've become nothing more than a re-active clean-up crew (at best). Responding after the incident's started. The intelligence and law enforcement organizations can't effectively predict trends, events that run contrary to social norms let alone track them! after they occur! At least not as thoroughly as they did in the past.

Personally and professionally I realized that it's more productive if our law enforcement, our intelligence organizations proactively work the "trends" and take APPROPRIATE action before the events occur rather than collect the bodies, statistics and other data AFTER THE FACT!

When law enforcement and intelligence folks are "pro-active" they tend to prevent things from happening, or at least they help to reduce the carnage. When they're "re-active" they serve to help clean up the mess, determine responsibility and hunt the bad guy(s) down to prevent more carnage. Unfortunately, quite often during the "re-active" process more damage, carnage occurs. When law enforcement and intelligence agencies are reduced to becoming a reactive element in the protection of our society they've been rendered ineffective. At least from the "prevention" standpoint which, quite frankly I'd personally prefer over the "enforcement" or "re-active" alternative.

I don't understand why we won't accept the fact that we need eyes and ears out "there" for our protection. Why are we blinding and deafening them? Why are we rendering those who we've empowered to protect us, to serve us, to police us... why are we rendering them to be essentially nothing more than a reactive clean up crew?!

Again, that's just my take on things. I've been known to be wrong in the past about many things. For what it's worth.

Possession's 9/10ths Of The Law!

At least, that's what we used to say when I worked "the beat". I started in '75 after a stint in the Army and retired in '15.

I spent over 40 yrs in Law Enforcement enforcing laws, keeping folks from killing one another... trying to keep folks from killing one another, breaking up fights, solving puzzles, riddles, crimes, etc. I responded to scenes that would curl the hair on anyone... cause folks to projectile vomit. I've been in those "loser-at best goes to jail" fights with bad guys and have visited emergency rooms or doctor's offices plenty of times after a wild and crazy shift. I've solved puzzles created by the most inhumane of animals in the world... humans... and I've ensured countless scum were put in their proper places over time.

Throughout that career we had sayings we'd use for most anything coming down the 'pike at us as we drove towards the problem we were dispatched to. One of my favorites was the line "Possession's 9/10ths of the law". Which, quite frankly meant if you're in possession of something whose ownership is being disputed when I show up then as far as I'm concerned, until proven otherwise you're the owner of whatever it is you're in possession of!

Key words... POSSESSION...and UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE.

Europe used to be a region of independent "nations". Each "nation" possessed its own government, its autonomy, its rules. Rules created by a government that the people, the citizens realized, understood and opted to either live, leave or die by. Rarely, rarely could an "immigrant" group change those rules to accommodate their own, preferred existence at the expense of the majority of their hosting nation's lifelong citizens.

But I guess in the European Union today "Possession's 9/10ths Of The Law" and those daesh, isis, isil, isieu... whoever, whatever. I guess those muslim "immigrants", "refugees" will be doing the talking soon, at least in the European Union. They seem to be in possession of the EU, its collective governments, its fractured states and they're changing those European Union laws as I write this.

The "immigrants", the "refugees"... those "religion of peace" folks, they're certainly letting it be known that the EU laws are unacceptable to them and being as they have the ear of the collective governments and they're dictating their expectations to those governments then it appears to me (at least) that the "migrants", "refugees", muslims are by proxy in possession of those governments.

Or so it seems.

Good Bye Europe. Too bad, so sad.

Yo'bama...

You aren't the President of this mighty fine United States of America anymore. Get over it. You've done enough damage while in office. There's no need for you to meddle anymore. We're done with you.

Your obummercare fiasco is going to be history soon, hopefully.

Get over yourself. We don't want you, don't need you or your prejudicial,extremely divisive angst anymore.

North Korea is working on a Nuclear Submarine?

Shhh... it's top secret stuff so don't tell anyone but North Korea, China and Russia are in the development stages of building a nuclear submarine for North Korea to add to its arsenal.

A friggin' Nuclear Sub!

And here we thought all of those guys were warming up to us! Dayum!! No wheat for NK. At least from us.

White Privilege?

If you're lagging on education, if you're just not sober enough every day to make that first class of the day. If you're wanting to skate out on some future "lectures" then take the white privilege test and get extra credit at Professor Dae Elliot's San Diego State University's Sociology class.

Her test is designed to identify levels of white privilege afforded to white students in attendance who take the test for extra credits.

Isn't that in and of itself a "white privilege"? To take a test that identifies your level of white privilege and get extra credit for being white and taking the test.

I can't help but ask why our taxes are paying for this garbage. It's apparent that the left, the liberal element of our society can't afford to accept an unsegregated racial population. They won't allow it to happen. It's the left's "Ace in the hole" card that, if subsequently vanquished will destroy their entire existence.

The Left thrives on the existence or perceived existence of racism. They fabricate it when it doesn't exist, they fueled and maintained it when it did exist and they encourage its recurrence when the hint of racism shows it's ugly face. In short, the Left has to maintain a level of racism in our society in order to continue to exist. "Equality", the absence of racial prejudices is unacceptable to those on the Left.

The Left's fascination with racism is a disturbing fact that history has exposed. The Left cannot afford to "let it go", to "accept the facts" that racism is a fabricated myth of theirs of which they can't wholly support with current facts, examples. Hence they hype an agenda of racism... perceived racism to further their twisted, warped cause(s).

Primarily, white privilege is most definitely behind us! Those of us on the Right buried the racist fallacy decades ago.

It's time to move on.

Robber Sues Good Samaritan...

Only in California!

Okay, maybe New York, Illinois (Chitcago primarily) and even Washington State (Seattle primarily).

30 yrs. old Ryan Flores is a wannabe, failed, would be robber who was prevented from robbing a Starbucks in Fresno, California by a 58 yrs. old good Samaritan, Cregg Jerri... a true HERO! Jerri, the Samaritan prevented the robbery, was stabbed in the neck by Flores, the wannabe robber in the process and Jerri subsequently wrestled the knife away from Flores, the puke. After acquiring the knife Jerri stabbed the puke Flores into submission with the maggot's own knife.

Now the wannabe failed robber Flores wants to sue Cregg Jerri, the Good Samaritan!

He'll probably win the lawsuit. After all, it is Californicatia.

Transplanting a Liberal to a Conservative State...

It's like giving a child something sweet for the first time in their life.

Take it from this transplanted, life-long (until recently) Californian who wrote the article I included in this post. She was born, raised and seemingly a forever resident of Californicatia until she had a "need to move" to Middle America.

Since living in Middle America she's realized there's a whole different world out there. One that isn't so biased, so culturally challenged. A mid-continent "melting pot" of ideas, nationalities, cultures... of norms that one would never knew existed without experiencing it first hand.

She's exposed the west coast of our mighty fine United States of America as, well... the most aloof, ultra-biased and ultra-liberal portion of our nation. She's realized there's true conservatives who mean well, do well and interact very well with one another but they reside in Middle America. She realized there's folks who truly do have realistic values, goals, ethics. Unlike the liberal mindset that's always going for the "one-up-on-you" trophy, regardless of the price, the cost. 

She's realized that those in the mid-west. Those who live in the "fly-over" states, those who are not bordered by any ocean or sea... She's realized those folks are truly hard working, understanding, compassionate, dedicated, loyal, diverse, family oriented, sincerely patriotic folks. 

In other words she's realized those who live in Middle America are truly good, conservative Americans.

Imagine... all of this from the mouth (and mind) of a former West Coast, California

native... former die hard liberal who saw the "light"!

Me? I was raised and grew up on the West Coast but I wasn't raised as a liberal. My parents were from Illinois, one of the "fly over" states. They had very strict conservative traits. We were raised by those mid-west standards. We're Army brats to boot so conservative values run deep in our bloodline. 

I don't have to transplant my family to the mid-west to realize the difference in values, culture. I live my conservative life here on the West Coast. I'm one of those "odd men out" folks I guess but I can live with that. It's just getting more difficult to cope with the liberals and fascists that seem to have overwhelmed a once great portion of our mighty fine United States of America! 

Overwhelmed it and are currently ruining it... IMHO.

Ahhh, Canada's Open Immigration, ASYLUM Experiment...

It appears to be closing down. 

It seems Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has had his fill with those poor, fledgling muslim "immigrants" from the Middle East and other Muslim infested nations who are rushing to Canada in droves, seeking "asylum". It appears it ain't going all that well up there for the true Canadians... this whole muslim "asylum" thing. 

Trudeau's changed his tune re: immigration, asylum. Now he's reverting back to the true meaning of  REFUGEES , or at least the Canadian version. Instead of what was once Canada's freely revolving, turnstile door Trudeau's suggesting that any refugees who have entered their country and those who would like to enter their country will have to ensure they're truly "refugees" seeking real "asylum"... from something.

Unlike his previous commitment to the downfall of Canada, our good neighbor to the north Trudeau seems to have finally awakened and realized the absolute chaos he's helped create.

"For someone to successfully seek asylum it's not about economic migration. It's about vulnerability, exposure to torture or death, or being stateless people. If they are seeking asylum we'll evaluate them on the basis of what it is to be a refugee or asylum seeker. You will not be at an advantage if you choose to enter Canada irregularly. You must follow the rules and there are many."- Trudeau

Well, dayum. Isn't that just a complete turnaround from where he was a year ago, six months ago... you know, when he was chumming and yucking it up with that POSPOTUS Barack Hussein Obummer? Isn't it a switch from when he actually thought the Butcher Bitch of Benghazi would win the election and our country would be following his lead?

Asylum to all?!

Now that he's realized his "open door" policy (or so it seemed as such) for muslims seeking "asylum" wasn't such a good idea afterwards and now that he's realized that the United States of America isn't following his sad, irresponsible and pathetic lead re: open door immigration/asylum he's realized he's hung his nation out to dry and is now, perhaps too late, he's trying to rein in the invading hordes and trying to account for their whereabouts. 

Good luck with that Trudeau. You've handed the reins of civilized Canada to those who identify themselves with the global nucleus of satanic worship itself. Daesh, isis, isil and now isic will soon be in control of your once proud nation. 

No borders? No country!

What a shame. Now we have to build another wall. 

Dammit!

Too bad! I love their bacon, hate their butter. Oh well. C'est la vie, eh!
