The Pig Trap - A Long Read Well Worth Reading

My friend PQ sent me a link to an article called The Pig Trap. It's actually a blog post but is so well written and so voluminous (16 single spaced pages if copied and pasted to MS word in Georgia 12pt. font) that to call it a mere blog post seems to belittle it. It is, in fact, better than that; it is the most well written piece I have seen regarding our current political predicament, that of us being lured to and caught in a pig trap as far as our rights, liberties and freedoms go.

All that may be surprising considering the source. The blog in which it appears is Taxicab Depressions, a blog dedicated to "...funny stories about the obnoxious drunks and belligerent whores that get into my taxi in a Florida beach town." Yet, not only is the article well worth reading, it should be compulsory for anyone who loves freedom and despises tyranny. That applies to Democrats as well as Republicans and to Libertarians and Independents or anyone else and that it applies to all of us who are not screaming, foaming at the mouth, leftists becomes quite clear in the piece. I am going to insist that my children read it regardless of the fact that they are both adults and don't have to do almost anything on which I insist any more. I truly believe that if you ever want to even think about seeing America the way it used to be, then you must read it yourself to first realize the full extent of what we are, of what America has become (actually we are much worse off now than we were when this piece was written just over a year ago but it will open your eyes and put things in perspective nonetheless). Only then will we be able to grasp the magnitude of our fall from the pinnacle we had once achieved and only then will we realize the arduous climb which we need to make to regain our Constitutional Republic, our freedoms, our rights and our liberty to exercise those rights in our pursuit of happiness.

Without any further jabbering from me, here is the link to The Pig Trap:

http://taxicabdepressions.com/?p=1193

Now that we see the problem, what are we going to do about it? I would sure like to meet with the author of the article, his taxicab fare "Mr. Wheeler", and his livestock industry client "Kevin" to
discuss the options with all of them. The dinner and beers over which we discussed the issues would be on me, and yes that is an open invitation to the three of them.

A hat tip and my thanks to PQ for opening my eyes to that one.

Oh Joy - I'll Probably Be Getting Another Subscription To A Credit Protection...

...type service now that it is believed that the personal identifying data of 4 million federal employees and retirees (or more) was breached in an attack of U.S. computer systems, more here.

The U.S. security system that detected the breach was the DHS Einstein system. I also heard another tidbit of info on this system and while I am not sure if this is true, I would not be all that surprised if it was gospel. I was told that the Einstein System was  developed by the DHS Intelligence Division to detect and warn about cyber-security threats but only after an attack had already taken place. Even if not true - that is evidently when the Einstein System actually discovered the breach - after it had happened. Leave it to DHS to implement a cyber-security system that only alerts about a threat after it has occurred and to call it Einstein! All I can say is: What a department, what a failure! 

Now that I think of it, they didn't have to actually implement such a ridiculous cyber-security system for me to say that since that's the way I already felt about DHS on a daily basis for years now. 

A hat tip to DM for the info about The DHS Einstein system.

Yet Another Woman With Her Finger On The Trigger...

...or should I say a brace of women with their fingers on the triggers!  As usual, I post this photo here, like all the others, purely for firearms safety education purposes, why else would I post them. Again, I will say, that with few exceptions, you should not place your finger on the trigger unless ready to shoot (and if you do you should be observing other firearms safety rules).

All the best,

I Would Think The Real PR Coup...

...would be when an American puts a well placed shot into his head.

A Tajik commander, previously trained by the United States, reportedly has gone over to ISIS and vowed to strike at the USA. More here.

I have no clue why we bother training any of those goat fuckers; either they turn on us and try to destroy us or they run away in the face of groups like the Taliban and ISIS.

As for this particular arsehat, a quick shot to his head might be too good for him but might put a smile on my face.

I Wish I Had Shot A Video Of My Daughter Today...

...when I picked her up after she had oral surgery to yank three of her wisdom teeth. The doc knocked her out and I had figured it would be with the same stuff my gastro doc give me when I get scoped. Thus, I told her not to worry, she would wake right up from the anesthesia with barely any side effects if any at all. Man was I wrong, she woke up doped up and accordingly doofey. This was a first for her, she never has had surgery of any sort before and she never even has been to a hospital as a patient as far as I can recall. Oh well, an opportunity for future laughs, at her expense, wasted by me. She would have laughed as much as anyone if I had made a video to her to watch of herself, I am sure of that. Anyway, I dropped her off at home, picked up her prescriptions and made her some soup. Before I left she made me something to eat as she was feeling better by then. Hopefully whatever the doc gave her will keep any pain t bay and she will be back to normal in  day or two.

An Interesting Book?

The book is: Concealed, She's Got a Gun by Shelley Calton. It is apparently a photo essay of armed women in Texas and should be available this September (it is available for pre-order now).

I may have to go to my local Barnes & Noble to check this one out. Here is a sample of one of the photographs it will contain when on the shelves.



Assume the guns are loaded. Then, look closely, and determine
how many different types of bullets there are there in the shot. I
count three, .22 WMR, probably .38 Special and that other one.

Man Oh Man Is Clint Eastwood Really 85 Today?

It seems to me like only it was only yesterday when he looked like this.

Born on May 31, 1930, Clint Eastwood turned 85 years old today. It is almost hard for me to believe that the star of Rawhide, Coogan's Bluff, Paint Your Wagon, Beguiled, Dirty Harry, High Plains Drifter, Absolute Power, Gran Torino, and many others, is that old. I usually think of him looking much like he is pictured above. Of course, when I see a recent photo, it is easy to believe he is in his eighties because he does look his age but I have to admit he still looks tough.



In his eighties, he still looks chiseled and tough.

Anyway:

Happy Birthday Mr. Eastwood and thanks for all the great movies and shows.

All the best,

One Heck Of An Excellent Memorial

Pay special attention to what he says about war being an atrocity but also listen closely to what he says about the necessity of combating evil.

He is right more than most folks in this country want to admit - evil does exist in the world today and we need to destroy it.

Felonious Bumper Sticker

The psycho-Freudian-fanatics are at it again, this time claiming that the application of bumper stickers, window decals, or other symbols to your motor vehicle are an indicator that you are more apt to commit road rage than someone with no such crap applied to their cars. More here.

 

I've witnessed road rage more than enough, here in NY especially in the Rotten Apple, to know that is a lot of balderdash.

 

Hand slamming down on center of steering wheel, pressing on horn, horn blaring BEEEEEEP, BEEP BEEP, BEEEEEEEEEEP, window rolling down, driver's head sticking out, spittle flying, yelling "F-you you moron" as  the driver's middle finger flips into the general direction of the jerk driving the Prius and not a single bumpersticker on the car of the guy doing all that.

 

It's just more psycho-babble as far as I can see but you can bet that the police will use it in court, to convict some nut job of road rage related crimes, sooner or later. That is if the psycho-Freudian-fanatics buy into it to any great extent. Then again, maybe they have a point, don't the police have all those decals all over their cars and wear uniforms and badges and... That could explain a lot of things about all of these questionable  beatings and shootings by police lately.

Somebody Deserves A Really Good Beating...

...and beating that person or persons to a pulp would not be something that would make me think they got more than they deserved. Anyone who would do this to a dog is, I think, nothing more than an evil shit who needs to be taught a lesson times ten.

Dickhead...

...usually is a word used to describe an idiot, moron, stupid dunce, ridiculous person who can be rather annoying in his stupidity (and I said "his" because it usually refers to a male). In other words, the guy being called a dickhead is usually a brainless wonder much akin to the head of a real dick that also has no brain.

However, sometimes, there is another definition for that word that is so right you cannot help but wonder if the meaning of the word has to do not with intelligence but appearances and it would not surprise me if this image shows up in the dictionary with that word:

Nope, the term dickhead did not originate because of the shape of his head
but you can bet that the term will stick with him for his lifetime or longer.

I don't know about you, but if there was a photo like that of me on the Internet, I'd be losing weight faster than a goose could shit rotten grass.

Just Got Home From Work...

...maybe 45 minutes ago or so. That was after an hour long drive, all ten miles of it (almost exactly 10 miles). Add another 10 minutes I spent at a quick stop in my local liquor store and while the drive was as annoying as it is regular (when I work a that location) the result of my pit stop will soothe everything. I picked up a jar of Old Smokey Moonshine for me and the boy (now a young man) and a bottle of Riesling for the wife. Can you imagine though, driving a mere ten fucking miles and it taking you an hour to accomplish it - especially a day at work that sucked like did today for me (just had to deal with too many arsehats today). That's everyday traffic too, during the return rush hour! When I lived in southern CA, I used to drive the 12 miles to work in about 12 - 14 minutes at an easy going pace but that was in the middle of butt fuck nowhere in the Imperial Valley. I would love traffic to be like that for me now but not at the cost of moving to CA, it's worse than NY as far as I am concerned although not by much. Oh to live in a free state.

Anyway, once I got done feeding the critters that needed to be fed (tortoises, turtles, fish, lizards and newts) I grabbed an ale and logged online. One of the first stops was Wirecutter's blog Knuckledraggin My Life Away. Once I got there, I scrolled through his posts, read this one and that, kept scrolling and arrived at one that immediately put me at ease as it washed away even the faintest thought of work and of my commute as I viewed what was there to behold. What can In say, I may be an old married man but I'm not dead and I can still appreciate what was forever lost to me once I got married. Thanks Kenny!

China Has Been Preparing For War...

...in a buildup of its military for years now (at least during the current and previous presidential administrations in the US). All the while, we here in the USA twiddle our thumbs as if nothing is happening and even go so far as to continuously reduce our military preparedness to face such a looming threat. China has not only increased its military forces but has actually gone as far as increasing its territory by building at least one artificial island in a disputed territory and has now placed artillery on that island according to this article. If all this is not reminiscent of Japan and Germany before WWII then nothing is like it. ISIS may be the major threat we face if they acquire nukes but the China is actually the major threat we face in the world today, followed by Russia with ISIS possibly a distant third for the immediate damage they could do to us.

The Border Patrol Of Yesteryear Was Different And I Remember When...

...border patrol agents were highly respected and pretty much only feared by illegal aliens and alien smugglers as well as maybe some drug smugglers. For the most part we were only hated by racists and criminals back then.We proudly did our jobs protecting the United States of America even though by the time I was on the job things were making a sharp left turn toward welcoming illegals into our country instead of preventing them from entering and or deporting them once they had done so. It was a different time and a different world then. It truly saddens me to see that the sentiment the border patrol has been getting in recent years runs more along these lines.

A Baseless Law Suit...

...I think not since it has the Constitution and Bill of Rights as its foundation. In fact, this one is nice to see as far as I am concerned, it is about time that young college aged folks take up the fight against the leftist gun grabbers. More here.
