I have no idea. If this posts and anyone can read it, well, bear in minds the wisest words of Winston Wolf. (look it up yourself, fags)


I'm just one monkey at a keyboard.

There is only so much I can do.

1 Good Morning Morons today is Saturday,April 17, 2021. On this day in 1961 a group of Cuban exiles financed and trained by the CIA lands at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba with the aim of ousting Fidel Castro.  The US gave them no support what so ever and they were quickly defeated.   This was a major fiasco for the CIA.

i made the mistake of switching from Android to Apple because I thought they cared more about privacy. The reality is Apple shoves woke bs down your throat at every turn. I am this close to giving up smart phones because to be honest, they have nothing that matters to me. Someone mentioned a Linux phone, I would like to hear more about that. Sure I get why people  like smart phones, but trust me, we got on fine without them. I could not be more dissapointed in Apple. I thought they might be better, but that is false. In fact, I
 think Google asks less from its users. F them all to be honest.

"If the GOP just shows up they will win and things will be fixed!"-well no darling thy won't. The corporations made their peace with the democrat dystopia inc graft model in the cities, so businesses that remain back the system in place so long as their bottom line is not directly impacted.
I do not know what the answer is, if the GOP wastes the political, economic, and psychological capital to "take back the cities" we will probably wind up as screwed up as the democrat coalition.
Urban areas are culturally, legally, and psychologically alien to a majority of the nation I told a government official recently that I think we are witnessing the death throes of the Westphalian Nation-State model.

Posted by: blaster at April 17, 2021 06:39 AM

I'm not familiar with any ranges in the Troy area, but I can ask around.  


Ypsilanti is proximate to T Rex Arms in Belleville; Ann Arbor Arms is on the west side of The Peoples' Republik of AnnArbor.


If you're in the Livonia area, there's a range right off of I-96.  They have changed names since I've been there last; IIRC it's now called "Uncoiled Firearms".  I believe they're pistol only


I like the DNR Sharonville outdoor range, but that's over in Grass Lake in Jackson county, so that may be too far afield for your purposes.


If you're around Milford, Huron Valley Guns is not to be missed. Where else can you shoot, shop, get your hair cut, and have a plate of poutine all under one roof?

74 Has any country ever been so devoted to hating itself?

that is a close call. The Brits used to make a sport of hating themselves. I can't think of another country that does it in this way. WE had the recent Masters golf tournament, and everyone is happy for Japan. I am too, it was a cool achievment. But what many don't get is the Japanese are the opposite of us in many ways. No way would they criticize themselves. No way would they be even a tenth of welcoming as we are. That is not a criticism, that is reality. They are an insular country and we are a welcoming country. But when was the last time a Leftist criticized Japan?

93 So they are demanding that the police stop using less lethal weapons on rioters?

Sure...I'm OK with that.

Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at April 17, 2021 06:58 AM (3D/fK)


we need better police. Sure it is a conundrum, i mean, who wants to do that job at this point?  And i only watched the video one time, as i tend to eschew this stuff. But I did mention before, I believe, that the taser was too much like the Glock. They should have the TASER on the chest and no where near the weapon. And maybe they should not use Glocks, but a weapon that requires you to turn off a safety.


I am not turning on the cop here. But it you think you have a TAser in your hand and you are pulling out a Glock and shooting it, that is a problem. I recall people startled from sleep, pulling a gun, thinking it is their phone and shooting themselves. I am not saying that is common, but it does happen. There are also arguments that if a female officer is in harms way, it is more likely to lead to gun play.  That is also a discussion that has been cancelled for various reasons.

The conversation in the wake of the Chauvin/Floyd event is whether cops should have to have a certain level of physical bearing.


Chauvin is a buck 40, Taser Taser Taser gal weighed 110 pounds I think.


They lack the ability to use the full spectrum of hostile response, so lethal force becomes geometrically more likely.

The Brits do pretty well witch just a stick. In fact, I bet their  cops are way more aggressive than ours in general. That is kind of how it works, they have not guns but are way more aggressive.   Sure it is a bit of an illusion. they have heavily armed roving cops that can be there at a moments notice.


Not sure what my point is here. but yes, if the cops act strongly, early, they often can diffuse the situation. Not that that carries over to here;. But I can se lefties saying we should be like the UK. The Irony is the the UK cops are way more in your face.  They take control early an often rights are a second thought.

SE Mich has some fun behaviors. Our old neighbors outside Ann Arbor, public employee retirees both, constantly railed on those evil bastards conservatives. Me, after 4 years of undergrad in Detroit, had a bit of a conservative streak. A bit.
Anyway, we'd go to shows together from time to time. On one occasion, Les Mis was coming to Fox Theater in downtown Motown. Let's go, I suggested. "No, we can't go there. We won't go into Detroit."

Descent?  of course AP says this.  They're Indian.  Indians are Asians.  
 
By the way, I walked by a wine-mom Porsche SUV yesterday with a bumper sticker saying "Stop Asian Hate!".  If black Americans are attacking Asian Americans, isn't it axiomatically racist to oppose them and their Asian Hate?  Is the Wine Mom a racist?  Someone should let her know.

I would not normally listen to the AP other than the style guide. The Style guide circa 2000, as referenced in "The Big Book of Beastly Pronunciations" was pretty good. He also used the NBC style guide as I recall. Regardless, the Brits mostly mean Pakistanis and Indians when they call people "Asian". That is a cultural difference for sure.

216 Let's just say that if anyone believes God will turn His face back upon us, Biden's return to using aborted babies for research lengthens the odds such will happen. We are so screwed.

I don't know who you mean by "us".   If you mean the genealogical  descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, then that was over in 70AD, some might argue centuries earlier where God allegedly divorces Israel and declares the Temple Ichabod.

If you mean "us" as in people who just happened to dwell within the political boundaries of the former United States, there is zero doctrine to support any concept of the non Jewish people as a political unit as being under any sort of Covenant.

If you mean "us" as in the Elect, then you are uttering heresies because it pretends that this temporal Kingdom is our home, denies the heavenly Kingdom,  puts a perpetual condition on Salvation, fails to understand Sanctification, obliterates the idea of Grace and makes the cross moot.

Salvation is not a "group" thing. People are chosen out of every nation, language and tribe.

The flip side (and deep tin foil hat territory) is that Fauci is telling everyone to wear two masks even if vaccinated because Biden can't be vaccinated.

So the White Witch extends the lockdown, and blames the unruly and willful peasantry's shameful disregard for her benevolent mask bullshit for the fact that MI has an infection rate that's only rivaled by our car insurance rates. What would her die-hard defenders say if you asked them how they square that with the fact that the free states have infection rates that are dropping? Asking because I don't know, because I do not speak to them.

I wonder if that's based on blood tests or nasal swabs.  Kevin Roche over at healthy-skeptic.com has brought this up in the past.  Vaccines are not shields.  They don't keep the virus out of the body completely, but rather train the body to kill it early, before it can do any damage.  So yeah, someone could test positive via nasal swab without actually having the virus (I wonder how many people vaccinated for the regular flu would test positive if we started testing regimes like we had for Covid)

Posted by: No One of Consequence at April 17, 2021 08:55 AM (CAJOC)

289 >>Fauci is just another decades long grifter.

THIS
Amazing how little useful information about covid is shared despite 24x covid fear porm on the news for the past year.

Every day we hear stats on the # of cases, whether its up or down, where the 'hot spots' are (most cases) -- all without any context. Cases aren't hospita;izations or deaths, so someone getting just the sniffles while testing positive should not scare. Also, what happened to the daily death toll? The switched to cases so seemlessly to hide how *not* crowded the hospitals and morgues are. No context on covid deaths vs. deaths due to other diseases in previous years, alomg with # cases vs. flu this year. 

And then on the prevention and treatment front, when was the last tome you saw any news source mention obesity as putting one at risk, or some easy preventative measures such as exercise, vitamin D and HCQ? This onformation is being accumulated but hidden. And what's the latest on how long covid can survive on a surface -- that has never been pinned down.

I teach epidemiology to undergrads, today’s class: clinical trial stages & FDA approval criteria. Class was stunned to learn the Covid vaccine is not FDA approved & still under study. A student asked: "I got the vax, you mean I’m part of the experiment now?” Most are NOT aware.

292 I think it's racist for people in the AP-who are, I imagine-largely white "journalists" to describe the killing of Sikhs as "another blow to the Asian American community." What "Asian American" community? There are "communities."  Hindu Sikhs are not the same as Muslims originally from- say- Pakistan or Korean American Christians, or Buddhists who came rom China, but I guess as long as they all come from a continent-which has what 40 or more countries(?) and are not white they're all identical?
