Hamas Massacres: The New Face of Gun Control
By Hank Vanderbeek

*** begin quote ***

Blizovsky told the Times he believes the atrocities committed by Hamas could have been avoided if more Israeli civilians had firearms.

Never ever give up your guns, because the minute you do you become a helpless victim. You never know when something like an inhumane attack on the homeland will happen. We have open borders through which illegal immigrants pour in from the entire world. We are not just talking about refugees from Central America and Mexico. Deranged Middle Easterners are entering unfettered. What are their plans? Entire terror cells could be walking across the borders.

Don’t believe someone who tells you to give up your guns to make society safe. The Second Amendment allows us to keep and bears arms to keep us safe, not to take our arms to keep us safe. 

In the end, Stern said the Israeli government’s restriction on civilian firearms ownership cost hundreds of civilian lives. That grave injustice should never be forgotten.

*** end quote ***

Sorry, but the Gooferment is the “gang that can’t shoot straight” and can’t protect its citizens.  The police come after the fact and draw chalk lines around the dead victims.  

We need to go back to the Old West ethic that everyone is responsible for “keeping the peace”.

Everyone needs to be armed at all times if they feel capable of doing it.

RANT: Ranked choice voting would obviate these deadlocks

Sunday, October 29, 2023

FROM 1440 NEWS

*** begin quote ***

House Republicans remove Rep. Jim Jordan as House speaker nominee.

The removal, by a closed-door vote, comes after Jordan (R, OH-4) failed to secure the gavel in the third round of voting Friday. He received 194 votes, down from 199 in the second ballot and 200 from the first. All House Democrats continued to back House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D, NY-8). House Republicans will restart the speaker nominee process Monday.

*** end quote ***

Ranked Choice Voting would have settled this impasse on the first ballot.

It really should be the way ALL voting is conducted.

However, we may find that “NONE OF THE ABOVE” is always the winner.

POLITICAL: Why do “celebrities” threaten to leave and then never seem to follow thoru?

Cher Says She will Leave the U.S. if Trump Gets Re-elected
Alana Mastrangelo  — 18 Oct 20233,829

*** begin quote ***

Left-wing pop star Cher says she will leave the United States if former President Donald Trump is re-elected, claiming that she “almost got an ulcer” when Trump was elected president in 2016.

*** end quote ***

Cher must be trying to get on my “Jane Fonda” list.

I remember many “celebrities” threatening to leave the USA for some reason or another, but yet never leaving.

Now, anyone, who reads my blog, know that I regard “celebrities” as nothing more than very well trained “performing seals” even if very well paid.  They have no special other qualifications other than a very heightened sense of their value.  

So, I think when you threaten to leave, “We, The Sheeple” should insist on follow thru.

Argh!

Trump Plots to Pull Out of NATO — If He Doesn’t Get His Way

10/27/2023, 11:02:03 AM · 54 of 54

Vaduz to McGruff

President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign is attacking former President Donald Trump’s over a new report alleging that he wants to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

The Penn Biden Center’s website focused on strengthening American global leadership by addressing threats to the Liberal International Order.

Trump is spot on

*** end quote ***

# – # – # – # – # 

Absolutely, NATO is a vestige of the Cold War and needs to be dissolved.  It allows Europe to palm off self-defense costs to the USA.  BTW the USA is broke.  And, needlessly provides billets for high ranking USA military who should be declared surplus. 

Argh!

ECONOMICS: Companies shouldnt’t change the Customer’s experience without very careful consideration

Delta Air Lines backtracks changes to its SkyMiles program after customer revolt
By Associated Press 
Published Oct. 18, 2023, 6:36 p.m. ET    

*** begin quote ***

Henry Harteveldt, a travel analyst at Atmosphere Research Group, said some SkyMiles members will still be unhappy about Delta moving to an entirely spending-based program, and will view even the reduced requirements as too rich.

“I don’t think these concessions are going to go far enough to placate the disgruntled Medallions,” he said. “Given the mercenary mindset that many travelers have, they will fly other airlines and not look back.”

Less than two weeks after Delta announced the SkyMiles overhaul, Bastian announced that the Atlanta-based airline was taking another look at the matter. He said Delta “probably went too far” with the proposed changes.

*** end quote ***

File this under “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it”.

You’d think that a CEO, or more likely the CFO, would have an eagle’s eye focus on <synonym for the act of procreation> with the Customer experience!

Was anyone watching Bud Light’s self-inflicted suicide?

Customer reactions are in vogue now. People are saying ‘I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!’ 

Don’t do anything to disturb that nice steady cash flow.

# – # – # – # – # 

‘I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!’ I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell – ‘I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Things have got to change. But first, you’ve gotta get mad!… You’ve got to say, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: [screaming at the top of his lungs] “I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!” — the character Howard Beale played by Peter Finch in the movie Network (1976)

Most nations do not allow non-citizens to own land. Why do we?

Time to rethink what corporations are, what they can do, and how big they can get.

I track all these issue back to the FED and fiat money!

RANT: Remember someone loaded the Jews on the trains to the death camps.

Wednesday, October 25, 2023

Furious Michigan town demands justice after cops kill beloved deer named Annie – as graphic video shows officer pinning doe and firing handgun

  •     Annie the deer was euthanized at a property in Lawrence, Michigan, on Friday after police arrived at the home for a separate incident 
  •     Graphic video shared on social media shows Annie wrestling with Officer David Loza who had slipped a lead around her neck before he can be seen shooting her 
  •     The death of the beloved animal has sent a shockwave through the community, prompting outrage from locals over the actions of Officer Loza

*** begin quote ***

The officer manages to pin Annie while she is laying upside down, before pulling out a handgun and firing a single shot, the deer jolts before going limp. 

Under Michigan law, only licensed rehabilitators can legally possess wildlife – meaning families are banned from keeping wild animals as pets.

*** end quote ***

“What the monsters you last interacted with did to you was cruel, inhumane, and heartless.”

The police are not your friends. They were there for an unrelated mater and, for whatever reason, decided to kill the deer.

Remember someone loaded the Jews on the trains to the death camps. The police don’t “protect and serve” us!

Argh!

Interesting that the deer was “rehabilitated” just like the “law” intended.  Probably send the carcass to the dump.   

Who or what authorized Officer David Loza to kill the deer?

Argh!

POLITICAL: Universities should be silently neutral in all debates

Wednesday, October 25, 2023

https://mailchi.mp/tomwoods/universitiesandissues?e=39307912ab

FROM TOM WOODS EMAIL NEWSLETTER

*** begin quote ***

It so happens that the University of Chicago adopted precisely the correct position all the way back in 1967, in what became known as the Kalven Report.

The answer: the university itself remains neutral, but the professors themselves are free to do and say as they like. 

The university, the statement said, had “a great and unique role to play in fostering the development of social and political values in a society,” but that role is one “for the long term.” Day-to-day debates were not matters for solemn and official statements by the university per se.”

“There is no mechanism by which it can reach a collective position without inhibiting that full freedom of dissent on which it thrives. It cannot insist that all of its members favor a given view of social policy; if it takes collective action, therefore, it does so at the price of censuring any minority who do not agree with the view adopted.”

It is the professors themselves who are to carry out the debate. The university is “the home and sponsor of critics; it is not itself the critic.”

This, it seems to me, is the correct approach. No more writing to express your outrage that University X hasn’t yet issued a statement on Issue Y. Its opinion on Issue Y is moronic and worthless anyway. These “statements” by university presidents are better left unwritten. I promise you, dear reader, the world will be a better place without them.

*** end quote ***

Certainly seems like a good policy for ALL corporations too.

TECHNOLOGY: Here’s a new kind of gift card fraud!

Tuesday, October 24, 2023

FROM NEXTDOOR

Inez Avant

• Middlesex, NJ

This happened to me at Walmart. I purchased a 100.00 Play Station card. I took it back and explained I bought this card 5 min ago. I never left the store. I was sending the information to my nephew via text, and I noticed the pin number was already scratched off. They gave me my money back. But I was told by the manager that what is happening is someone is taking a picture of the card number & pin, and when WE buy the card and activate it, the scammers are able to retrieve the gift card funds. Especially around the Holiday time, this happens SO BE CAREFUL – CHECK THE BACK OF THE CARD BEFORE YOU PURCHASE

# – # – # – # – # 

Interesting.  A new type of fraud.  Sigh!
