If They Attempt To Charge This Naval Commander...

...with any crimes at all, or with any violations that would force him out of the military, or make him accept anything other than an honorable discharge, or demote or otherwise punish him, the patriots of this country should band together and march on Washington, DC in protest.

The Navy Times has reported that not only one Marine was armed when the crazed radical Islamist attacked the Navy support center recently but that a Naval Officer engaged the terrorist. It has been reported that Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White, in charge of the Naval support center, engaged the filthy pig before he even opened fire as he approached the center with his weapon out. For a more detailed account, at least compared to other reports I have seen to date, go here to the Navy Times article.  It is difficult to understand why it has taken so long for this to all come out and then not on the front pages of every newspaper and on the homepages of every online news outlet of the mud slinging media main stream media but in a military newspaper.

If anything, the Lt. Cmdr. should receive a medal for his bravery and at most receive a verbal reprimand in his file for having a pistol in violation of the rules. The military is now wondering why he was so armed. It is obvious to me why he had it, isn't it to you. He did the right thing and maybe helped save some lives in doing so by allowing others to escape as he engaged with the dirty dog who apparently had hoped his martyrdom would allow him into heaven despite his prior sins. Yes folks, in my mind that undeniably means the shooting was motivated by Islam.

And folks, there is a chance that it was either the police or the armed Marine or the armed Navy Lt. Cmdr. who took out the bad guy (or maybe two of them or even all three). It is still being investigated as to who it was that shot and killed him.

I Cannot Think Of A Better Question To Ask About Illegal Aliens...

...than the one posed on this poster. I am sure that Oblubbermouth President Obama and his minion would have a whole slew of answers but not even one of them that would make any logical sense.

A hat tip to Pete G who had that on Facebook.

Oh Mr. Firearms Instructor, Look At What The Recoil Did...

...to the zipper on my jacket!

As I think I have pointed out before, they
never dress like this when I am at the range!

I Have Got To Start Paying More Attention To Local News

I am going to bet that the officer in this video, the one who shot at the dog, is still working as an NYPD officer (although he may be on traffic detail or assigned permanently to a desk in the property section). It truly amazes me that he would have drawn his hand gun and then fire with what seemed to be reckless disregard for the safety of others in the near vicinity. I don't know what they are training officers nowadays when it comes to defending themselves from dogs but I would bet the one guy in the video got it right when he said he didn't think that was it. I did not post this here to bash the cops but more to show you what you need to consider when shooting at something. If there are people beyond what you are shooting at, you need to consider that. Depending on the totality of the circumstances, it does not always mean you will not take the shot but it most certainly does mean that sometimes you have to refrain from shooting and find some other way to defend yourself. Just in case you are wondering if that means that yes, I am saying sometimes you take the shot even though innocent people may be in the path of the bullet(s) beyond your intended target, my answer, speaking for myself only, would be that yes I can see justifiably taking such shot under certain circumstances, especially when the potential for public benefit far outweighs the threat of the harm being posed. For instance, a guy starts shooting people on a crowded street and is shooting them down rapidly one after another and you have the chance to stop him with a well placed shot but if you miss you may hit a person in the crowd. Think about what happens if you do not shoot - he keeps shooting and mowing down innocent people. Under such a set of circumstances I might decide to shoot. It is a choice each law abiding armed individual has to make based upon the totality of the circumstances. In the particular circumstance shown in the video, I think there was a much better way to handle it than shooting the at the dog when pretty much surrounded by a crowd.

See What Happens When You Don't Wear Eye Protection

If you are lucky, you wind up like this lady who was maybe rubbing a slight bit of powder residue out of her eyes (then again, it could have been tears remorse or happiness for just having shot her husband).

I Do Not Think Hillary Clinton Will Be Elected President...

... and that is because I do not think she will win the democratic primaries. With all of her problems, I have to wonder if anyone can see her as anything but a blatant liar, a failure on foreign policy, an unpatriotic arse wipe who cares not one iota about our troops or national security, an unpatriotic tyrant, a possible law breaker (or at least rules breaker) on national security concerns, a leftist with at least a quasi-commie agenda, and a miserable failure as a wife. Yes, I ask myself that each day and the answer I give myself is that in my opinion: yes - many love her for just those things but not enough of them to get her to the White House. While not only hampered by all that, she is also seen as having been a loser the last time around.

The thing with all this that scares me is that if not she, then who will get the democratic nomination to run for their party? The Republicans have, what is it now, 16 major candidates, whom I mostly have heard of, in the running. Then there are another 17 candidates (if I counted right) who have declared they are running as Republicans with all of whom I am unfamiliar (source) and two more whom are expected to declare. They are truly that divided and uncoordinated. So, someone on the left will have an easier time of it and will have more funding likely flowing his or her way before the Rebooblikans even have an inkling of whom they might nominate.

While he may sometimes trip over his own tongue, this all makes The Donald look ever so much more appealing. He tells it as he sees it even if it comes right back at him and I, for one, certainly can admire that in a man; although',I could also admire a bit more discretion on what he says and how he says it. Showing disrespect for that piece of trash John McCain is alright in my book but not for veterans in general nor for those who were captives. John McCain's record of being a leftist arse wipe should be more than enough to keep him from the presidency unless he runs as a demoncrat. Trump needs to learn how to better take aim at those he wants to shoot down by parsing his words better before spewing them out of his mouth.

As far as Trump saying what he did about Mexico, I could not agree more. I believe Mexico is happy to use the USA as it's pressure valve to let off steam when the pressures of living in that shithole become too much. So, I think, they actually encourage illegal emigration out of that country sized slum. I am convinced that if we completely stopped illegal immigration, from Mexico, tomorrow - a revolution in Mexico would erupt within less than one year.

Anyway, Trump looks to be getting stronger day by day even though I still find it hard to believe he is serious about running.  One thing is for certain, he has enough money to seriously run as a totally independent candidate. I am also pretty sure of one other thing - he would beat any democrat, except maybe Hillary, with ease. So if she does not get her party's nomination, I hope he does actually run s I am none to sure any of the others would beat the demoncrats and as I certainly would hate to see the likes of Jeb Bush, John McCain or Chris Christies as our next tyrant. Time will tell.

As for my once upon a time candidate of choice being Bolton, he dropped out of consideration in May, saying he would not run. At least one of the potential candidates back then had the sense not to further muddy the waters as the rest of them are doing now. Hopefully it will clear up well before the primaries and we will wind up with only a few strong and good choices ready to hand a loss to the Democrats after having defeated the RINOs in the primaries.

An Old Nemesis Has Been Paying Me A Visit...

...thus the lack of blogging yesterday. Gout sucks!

Although it was worse on Thursday (it hit Thursday afternoon lie a ton of bricks from out of the blue) and I did get to blogging then before it hit and then much later that night. Maybe that was because I took about 4 aspirin and only then changed to something for pain relief that was much stronger - Oxycontin. Even a couple of them did not quell all of the pain but it did make me feel good enough to hobble around just a bit. I can only imagine how bad it would have been on Thursday had I not taken it the pain pills.

As for yesterday, I was just not in the mood yesterday as it was still pretty bad. Day two of agony with each step did not have me in the mood for much except sitting. My wife did get to the pharmacy to pick up my refill for colchicine and that helped some. I got outside for a bit and did some small bit of gardening, then back inside to make some fresh salsa mostly from ingredients grown in the garden, then sitting on my arse wishing I could have a beer but there is no way I am about to have one for at least the next week or two. I may even cut out beer altogether as I recently saw medical information saying that beer is usually the worst type of alcohol to drink when one has gout. Wine is no friend of wine either. I have pretty much cut out red wine too and find it no coincidence that I had two glasses of it on Wednesday and then had a flare up on Thursday. I had thought that by now the allopurinol had stopped the flare-ups but I was wrong and found out the hard way. The thing is, you usually can drink again once allopurinol has taken full effect but since it often worsens gout attacks for several months after you start taking it. I guess I have to give it more time, I have only been taking it for three months now.

Oh well, life goes on and yesterday and today I at least could make it up one flight of stairs from the basement to the first floor as opposed to Thursday afternoon when I made it 3/4 of the way, had to sit down, then work my way back downstairs step by step on my butt. Gout sucks almost as bad as Obama. So, while I am still hobbling around today on a red and swollen foot at least I am hobbling and not moaning in agony with each step.

All the best,
