Looks like the prosecution in the Rittenhouse case knew all along who ‘Jump Kick Man’ was…

The mysterious “Jump Kick Man” talked about during the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, the man that was labeled as the one that stomped Rittenhouse’s head when he fell to the ground, has been identified as a Kenosha man with an extensive criminal history spanning decades.

So, if he’d been nailed it would have been four for four on criminals the DA is calling ‘Heroes’ for protesting…

Full story HERE.

And St. Paul, MN has just signed it’s own death… Rent control…

The city just approved a rent control measure that will limit landlords’ ability to increase rents on its 65,000+ rental properties. They will not be able to increase prices by more than 3 percent each year under the new law. Controversially, the initiative does not account for inflation and applies to new construction, not just existing properties. This makes the St. Paul rent control measure one of the strictest in the US—if not the world.

Full article, HERE. And apparently less than 24 hours later, developers were already pulling plans for building housing… Yeah, THAT is going to end well!!!

And yet ANOTHER recall on WuFlu tests for false positives…

(KRON) — Ellume is recalling its at-home COVID-19 test over the potential of false positive results, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said.

The FDA classified the recall as a Class I recall – the most serious type – and said the use of these tests could cause serious health consequences or death.

The Ellume product is an antigen test that detects proteins from the SARS-CoV-2 virus from a nasal sample. The test is available without a prescription for use by people with or without COVID-19 symptoms.

The ‘coverage’ of our current administration is nothing like what the MSM here is pushing… From the Aussie media!

I’ll end with Mr. Ramirez latest…

Interesting…

Apparently YouTube is playing games again… This time with the wrong people…

Right after Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger began his closing statement in the Kyle Rittenhouse Trial, YouTube cut off channels that were beating legacy media channels. Coincidence?

The Rekieta Law channel, which features multiple lawyers doing real-time analysis of the trial, often beat the number of people watching the PBS stream. The PBS stream is one of the more reliable ones available to YouTube users and was being used by several outlets.

Full article, HERE.

As soon as the lawyers got hold of YouTube, it ‘suddenly’ was back up… Funny that…

And the state lawyer apparently pointed the AR at the jury with his finger on the trigger, WITHOUT safety checking the weapon! WTF???

Note that the bolt is forward, even though there is no magazine, we ALL know the rules… HERE.

A little humor…

Turkey day is coming! Get your rules out ahead of time…

  1. Don’t get in line asking questions about the food. “Who made the potato salad? Is it egg in there? Are the greens fresh? Is the meat in the greens turkey or pork? Who made the macaroni and cheese? What kind of pie is that? Who made it? Ask one more question and I will punch you in your mouth, knocking out all your fronts so you won’t be able to eat anything.
  2. If you can’t walk or are missing any limbs, sit your butt down until someone makes your plate for you. Dinner time is not the time for you to be independent. Nibble on them pecans and walnuts to hold you over until someone makes you a plate.
  3. If you have kids under the age of twelve, I will escort their little butts to the basement and bring their food down to them. They are not gonna tear my house up this year. Tell them that they are not allowed upstairs until it’s time for Uncle Butchie to start telling family stories about their mommas and papas. If they come upstairs for any reason except for that they are bleeding to death, I will tear their butts up and you better not ask why!
  4. There is going to be one prayer for Thanksgiving dinner! JUST ONE! We do not care that you are thankful that   your 13 year old daughter gave birth to a healthy baby or your nephew just got out of jail. The time limit for the prayer is one minute. If you are still talking after that one minute is up, you will feel something hard come across your lips and they will be swollen for approximately 20 minutes.
  5. Finish everything on your plate before you go up for seconds! If you don’t, you will be asked to stay your greedy butt home next year!
  6. BRING YOUR OWN TUPPERWARE!! Don’t let me catch you fixing yourself a plate in my good Tupperware knowing that I will never see it again! Furthermore, if you didn’t bring anything over, don’t let me catch you making a plate period or it will be a  misunderstanding. And why are you making plates before you eat? You never bring a dish or offer a dime do you?
  7. What you came with is what you should leave with!! Do not leave my house with anything that doesn’t belong to you. EVERYBODY WILL BE SUBJECTE D TO A BODY SEARCH COMING AND GOING OUT OF MY DOMAIN!!!
  8. Do not leave your kids so you can go hopping from house to house. This is not a DAYCARE CENTER! There will be a kid-parent roll call every ten minutes. Any parent that is not present at the time of roll call, your child will be put outside until you come and get him or her. After 24 hours, I will call CPS!
  9. BOOK YOUR HOTEL ROOM BEFORE YOU COME INTO TOWN!! There will be no sleeping over at my house! You are to come and eat dinner and go home or to your hotel room. EVERYBODY GETS KICKED OUT AT 11:00 pm. You will get a 15 minute warning bell ring.
  10. Last but not least! ONE PLATE PER PERSON!! This is not a soup kitchen.
  11. I am not trying to feed your family until Christmas dinner! You will be supervised when you fix your plate. Anything over the appropriate amount will be charged to you before you leave. There will be a cash register at the door. Thanks to Cousin Alfred and his greedy family, we now have a credit card machine! So VISA and MASTERCARD are now being accepted. NO FOOD STAMPS OR ACCESS CARDS YET!

And an oldie updated…

A  French doctor says ‘Medicine in my country is  so advanced  that we can take a kidney out of  one man, put it  in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks.’

A German doctor says ‘That is  nothing; we can take a lung out of  one person, put it in  another, and have him  looking for work in four weeks.

The Russian doctor says  ‘In  my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out  of one  person,  put it  in another, and have them both looking  for work in two weeks.’

An American doctor, not to  be outdone, says ‘You guys are way  behind.  We recently took a man with no brains out of Delaware, put him in the White House, and now half the country is looking for work.’

++++++++

The liberals are asking us to give Biden time.

We agree and think 25 to life would be appropriate.

**********************

America needs Biden like Nancy Pelosi needs a Halloween mask.

**********************

Q: Have you heard about McDonalds new Biden Value Meal?

A: Order anything you like and the guy behind you has to pay for it.

**********************

Q: What does Biden call lunch with a convicted felon?

A: A fund raiser.

**********************

Q: What’s the difference between Biden’s cabinet and a penitentiary?

A: One is filled with tax evaders, blackmailers and threats to society.

The other is for housing prisoners.

**********************

Q: If Nancy Pelosi and Biden were on a boat in the middle of the ocean and

It started to sink, who would be saved? ….

A: America!

 

 

Ummm…

NO!

The left always seems to have been obsessed with Europe. The constant song coming from that side of the aisle and their willing accomplices in the media is that we should be more like our continental neighbors.

Draconian climate mandates. Secularism galore. Massive international cooperation that dilutes national interest and identity. Democratic socialism. That’s what the left wants us to emulate.

Now that we’re dealing with inflation, rising prices, and supply shortages, the left is playing the same “be like Europe” tune in a different key.

Full article, HERE.

I don’t want to be forced to shop EVERY day for food in an open market, praying they have decent product available because my fridge is the size of a dorm fridge, nor buy propane on a monthly basis, or pay $9/gal for gas for my car.

I don’t want to live in a society where I’m not allowed to defend myself, or even own a gun.

I don’t want to live in a country where there is not medical care available outside of a nationalized system that ‘prioritizes’ health care based on your ‘station’ in life and ability to pay for drugs (if available), or wait months for an MRI or CT scan.

I don’t want to live in a society where certain groups and locations are hands off to the police, and those people are free to do as they wish, without regard for the laws of the country.

The ‘solution’ is NOT to live like Europeans, but to actually take back control of the US from the politicians and elites that are running it in the ground and remind them that they work for US, not the reverse.

Edit- And a friend sent this… Comparison between various ‘measurement’ systems…

I’ll stick with OUR system… So far, we’re the only ones to put a man on the moon…

It’s alive…

Two of our group have collaborated on a little thing… Taskforce Chiweenie

Click the cover for the Amazon link!

The blurb-

Two extraordinary heroes.
Sure, they may look like adorable chiweenies, but the reality is that only they stand between the world, and…The Poultry Liberation Front

Follow the adventures of Chuy and Mochi through their slightly exasperated flag officer’s voice as he delivers pithy situation reports while the battlefield unfolds on his front yard.

Add your own color, but keep in mind: the language contained in this coloring book is, well, colorful. We cannot recommend this book for children. Strictly for adult amusement, no matter how cute the pups and chickens are!

It is hilarious! Lawdog’s ‘way with words’ and Cedar’s artwork combined for a real ‘work of art’ for adults!!! It is also 8 1/2 by 11, so full sized for your enjoyment!

Coming soon, a completely different take… Cedar is putting together a series of short stories on PTSD, based on some conversations that have been bouncing around.

We both have stories in that one, and each story deals with the issue in different ways. It will be out next month, just in time for Christmas.

Tommy…

From Rudyard Kipling…

I went into a public-‘ouse to get a pint o’ beer, The publican ‘e up an’ sez, “We serve no red-coats here.”

The girls be’ind the bar they laughed an’ giggled fit to die, I outs into the street again an’ to myself sez I:

O it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, go away”; But it’s “Thank you, Mister Atkins”, when the band begins to play, The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play, O it’s “Thank you, Mister Atkins”, when the band begins to play.

I went into a theatre as sober as could be, They gave a drunk civilian room, but ‘adn’t none for me; They sent me to the gallery or round the music-‘alls, But when it comes to fightin’, Lord! they’ll shove me in the stalls!

For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, wait outside”; But it’s “Special train for Atkins” when the trooper’s on the tide, The troopship’s on the tide, my boys, the troopship’s on the tide, O it’s “Special train for Atkins” when the trooper’s on the tide.

Yes, makin’ mock o’ uniforms that guard you while you sleep Is cheaper than them uniforms, an’ they’re starvation cheap; An’ hustlin’ drunken soldiers when they’re goin’ large a bit Is five times better business than paradin’ in full kit.

Then it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, ‘ow’s yer soul?”

But it’s “Thin red line of ‘eroes” when the drums begin to roll, The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll, O it’s “Thin red line of ‘eroes” when the drums begin to roll.

We aren’t no thin red ‘eroes, nor we aren’t no blackguards too, But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you; An’ if sometimes our conduck isn’t all your fancy paints, Why, single men in barricks don’t grow into plaster saints; While it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, fall be’ind”, But it’s “Please to walk in front, sir”, when there’s trouble in the wind, There’s trouble in the wind, my boys, there’s trouble in the wind, O it’s “Please to walk in front, sir”, when there’s trouble in the wind.

You talk o’ better food for us, an’ schools, an’ fires, an’ all:

We’ll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.

Don’t mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face The Widow’s Uniform is not the soldier-man’s disgrace.

For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Chuck him out, the brute!”

But it’s “Saviour of ‘is country” when the guns begin to shoot; An’ it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ anything you please; An’ Tommy ain’t a bloomin’ fool — you bet that Tommy sees!

Folks, if you are a vet or know one that is having problems, or a family member of a vet having problems, there IS a place to turn…

We are STILL losing about 20 veterans a day to suicide. The time from now to Christmas is the worst time for veterans… Especially those dealing with the issues of coming home and not being able to handle it.

PLEASE reach out! It is important!!!

The Eleventh Hour…

Posted on by November 9, 2021

Of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month…

Originally Armistice Day after ‘The Great War,’ in 1918, that cost Britain, France, Germany and others most of an entire generation of men.

And this is what that would have sounded like…

Sadly, it wasn’t the ‘war to end all wars’. We didn’t learn and keep doing this stuff, which is why today is actually ‘celebrated’ as Veterans Day. HERE is a link to Military.com with some good embedded links for deeper understanding.

This gives as good a description of what a veteran is as anything I’ve seen. I first saw this from the CMC of VP-16 many years ago for Sailors, but it applies equally to veterans…

To understand a Military Veteran you must know:

We left home as teenagers or in our early twenties for an unknown adventure.

We loved our country enough to defend it and protect it with our own lives.

We said goodbye to friends and family and everything we knew.

We learned the basics and then we scattered in the wind to the far corners of the Earth.

We found new friends and new family.

We became brothers and sisters regardless of color, race or creed.

We had plenty of good times, and plenty of bad times.

We didn’t get enough sleep.

We smoked and/or drank too much.

We picked up both good and bad habits.

We worked hard and played harder.

We didn’t earn a great wage.

We experienced the happiness of mail call and the sadness of missing important events.

We didn’t know when, or even if, we were ever going to see home again.

We grew up fast, and yet somehow, we never grew up at all.

We fought for our freedom, as well as the freedom of others.

Some of us saw actual combat, and some of us didn’t.

Some of us saw the world, and some of us didn’t.

Some of us dealt with physical warfare, most of us dealt with psychological warfare.

We have seen and experienced and dealt with things that we can’t fully describe or explain, as not all of our sacrifices were physical.

We participated in time honored ceremonies and rituals with each other, strengthening our bonds and camaraderie.

We counted on each other to get our job done and sometimes to survive it at all.

We have dealt with victory and tragedy.

We have celebrated and mourned.

We lost a few along the way.

When our adventure was over, some of us went back home, some of us started somewhere new and some of us never came home at all.

We have told amazing and hilarious stories of our exploits and adventures.

We share an unspoken bond with each other, that most people don’t experience, and few will understand.

We speak highly of our own branch of service, and poke fun at the other branches.

We know however, that, if needed, we will be there for our brothers and sisters and stand together as one, in a heartbeat.

Being a Veteran is something that had to be earned, and it can never be taken away.

It has no monetary value, but at the same time it is a priceless gift.

People see a Veteran and they thank them for their service.

When we see each other, we give that little upwards head nod, or a slight smile, knowing that we have shared and experienced things that most people have not.

So, from myself to the rest of the veterans out there, I commend and thank you for all that you have done and sacrificed for your country.

Try to remember the good times and make peace with the bad times.

Share your stories.

But most importantly, stand tall and proud, for you have earned the right to be called a Veteran.

This…

Just pisses me off!  That bitch had to have had help to pull this off…

SEATTLE — For decades, the Navy’s leading supplier of high-strength steel for submarines provided subpar metal because one of the company’s longtime employees falsified lab results — putting sailors at greater risk in the event of collisions or other impacts, federal prosecutors said in court filings Monday.

The foundry’s director of metallurgy, Elaine Thomas, 66, of Auburn, Washington, was charged criminally with one count of major fraud against the United States. She falsified the results because she believed it was “a stupid requirement” that the test be conducted at such a cold temperature, the complaint said.

Full article, HERE from Defense News.

I’m just going to leave this here and not comment further because it’d devolve into a BUNCH of four letter words…

Hang her ass!

Sigh…

I wonder where we are going…

This is an excerpt from a rather long discussion about whether or not a veteran should recommend to kids today to go in the military…

I said that if someone told me they wanted to join the military I would do nothing to discourage them.  Though certainly not a good comparison, I would not discourage a young person from doing what they wanted to do, especially if they are of a parental household that could and should provide good advice tailored to their young person’s interests, aptitudes, and abilities — Tradesperson, Professionalperson, Militaryperson, whatever. 

But am I an expert on the military a person is about to join and therefore could/should provide expert advice?  Hardly.  Not in reference to today’s military, and any retiree of 1993 who counsels based on his or her experience is padding the books.  

I also said that if in a different context, someone simply asked for my advice regarding possibly joining the military as a choice I would not counsel in favor of it.  Thin line, I know, but it would be my responsibility to gauge depth of intent.  You want to do it?  Probably have good parental advice on life’s matters?  I’ll not speak against it.  But if you are merely asking advice on joining a current day organization, nay, a way of life, well, there are a lot of choices out there who may have fewer hidden objectionable factors.  Not that way in my time, but certainly that way as I see things now. In years past I could not have imagined that response to ever come from me in my lifetime. It went against all of my former observations, analysis, and standards of a most-of-my-adult lifetime of service. But it is not what I see today; it is discouraging, unacceptable, and painful.

Sadly, I agree with the person that said this…
