Halloween after-action report

Well a butt-load of little FSA* trainees came by my house last night.  They didn’t bother putting on a costume.  Neither did they bother to say “trick or treat”.  They just held up their bag for goodies, and then scampered away.  Some demanded more.  None bothered to say “Thank you”.

They all seemed to come from the section 8 housing complex down the road. The entrance to my subdivision was nearly blocked by cars parked along both sides of the street.  And not one was wearing a costume.  My doorbell rang as late as 9:30 pm.  Some of them looked to be in their late teens. 

Oh… and they were all black.

What they found when the old WWII vet died

After he was cremated, this is what they found!  Get the whole story here.

Quote of the day

I have never known a word to become absolute dogma, without a speck of evidence, the way "diversity" has.

Thomas Sowell

GR4U - Honestly, this man has more good sense in his little finger than can be found in the entire city of Washington DC.

Little fella's ruined for life now

Last Saturday this nine year-old killed this excellent buck with a single shot at 260 yards in Jones county Georgia.  I feel plumb sorry for him.  He'll chase that feat for the rest of his life. (I'm also envious!)

I wonder how many (if any) of the men I encounter at work every day could make such a shot.  Americans were once known for their marksmanship skills.

Observations of the debate

I was recently asked if I watched the debate.  My response to the lady was:

Oh I didn't watch it Miss Shirley. Even at my tender age of 51 I have learned that what politicians say is meaningless. And this is true of both parties and extends from Mayor up thru the President. These debates are nothing but dog and pony shows. Substance means little, truth means nothing, and image carries the day. Frankly I am nauseated by both candidates.

I hear that Obama was pitiful. But it won't matter. His sycophantic followers still worship him.

Nonetheless... the debate has made good grist for the humor mill as evidenced by this collection of tweets.

*This is a businessman, talking business, to a grad student. Obama should be taking notes and asking for an extension.

*Media coddled Captain Precious, and are now sad he got stomped. Sometimes beta males need to fight.

*Romney is killing it. Killing it. Seriously, this is a terrible wedding anniversary.

*Watching MSNBC discuss the debate is like watching the Titanic discuss the iceberg.

*Obama is rolling down a mountain like Homer Simpson hitting every rock along the way.

*I guess prepping with Joy Behar was a mistake.

*Obama is now like a Best Buy employee trying to sell you something he cannot fully explain.

If this performance had been from a republican candidate, the election would be decided right there.  As it is, Obama still has vote fraud to rely on.

Damn good sense here

No one at the nation level is saying what Alan Keyes is saying here.  Listening to this strengthens my personal resolve to NEVER again vote for the lesser of two evils.

Just a "small world" story

Twenty-two years ago, when my youngest son was just an infant, my family spent the day moving into some low rent apartments.  Things were tough for us financially at the time and we had to accept that this was all we could afford. 

After a hard day of moving furniture with the help of a couple of friends we went a few blocks to a burger joint to eat supper.  Returning to our new digs a scant half hour later we were amazed to see legions of police cars, a circling helicopter, and a couple of ambulances just a few doors down.  It seems that a drug bust in an adjoining apartment had gone bad and two cops were shot all to pieces – one dead, one seriously injured.

That night we didn’t sleep a wink, and the following morning we reversed the previous day’s process and moved the hell out! 

My youngest son has heard this story all his life.  Now he’s a medical student working towards his doctorate and he works part-time at a local orthopedic clinic.   Today he was interviewing a patient whose current complaint stems back to injuries received 22 years ago when he was a police officer and got shot during a drug bust.  One question led to another and … you guessed it… it was the cop who survived the shooting that night in the apartment a few doors down from us.

Small world huh?

 

This description of DHS really resonated with me

Remus, the gentleman that runs The Woodpile Report, is someone whose insights are well worth considering. This is an excerpt from a recent posting of his that really hit the nail on the head. If you're not regularly reading this fellow's musings you're missing a free dose of damn good sense.

Take special note of the Department of Homeland Security. It very nearly stands apart from government proper. The 'best fit' is the Sicherheitsdienst, with a touch of Red Cross for cover. The DHS repeatedly reveals itself as malevolent, incompetent, devious and gratuitously violent. It's beyond libel, no surprise, the place is a honeypot for ambitious political preeners, affirmative action incompetents and time-serving misfits, in short, a settling pond for overachieving sociopaths and their sycophants. You'll have no difficulty so bad they won't make it worse and feel good doing it. You have no rights DHS is bound to respect and it has a talent for inventing new forms of terrorism to discover. Also be aware the upper reaches of DHS have a reputation for preferring aggressive sexual deviants, currently displayed most overtly in the weird bullying and outright molestation of innocents by the TSA. With the absolute power a national calamity would confer on them, and assuming continued support from a reportedly compromised White House , the entire DHS is poised to become an armed pimpocracy.

What I saw at the coup

Warnings of the coming crash are growing louder

David Stockman was Ronald Reagan's budget director, and I remember him as the once-upon-a-time bright young man of Washington. In this interview with CNBC talking heads he skewers both political party's fiscal strategy - and correctly points to the FED as a major root cause of the coming collapse.

Matthew Bracken, author of Enemies Foreign and Domestic, has penned an essay that provides what I believe is the MOST prescient glimpse of America's near future. Bracken has done his homework to understand both the historic and economic basis for his predictions - and as a former Navy SEAL he has an excellent understanding of tactics and strategy.

Wall Street executives are retiring in record numbers all of a sudden. So many in fact that it's been noticed and someone has taken the time to list them here. What do they know that we don't know?

That slimy globalist George Soros has made a major change in his portfolio recently. What does he know that we don't know.

My friends, these things warrant serious consideration.

Got ammo?
