I Have Often Wondered - Was She a Zombie

I mean after all, the title of the song is 'She's Not There' and let's face it folks - zombies, whether fictional monsters or real live monsters in the form of democrats, are most certainly not there, at least mentally. Anyway you listen to this song though, it was and remains a great song by a short lived group that called what else but The Zombies:

 

 

 

Now remember, I just wrote "Anyway you listen to it it though, it was and remains a great song...". So, let's listen to another version, this one by Santana (what a tribute to the original by The Zombies) to have such a well established group play it more than 20 years after it first came out:

 

 

Yep, as many times as I have heard She's Not There, after seeing the Night of the Living Dead way back then, I've wondered was she a zombie. By the way, if you are a fan of zombie movies and have never seen Night of the Living Dead - you do not know what you are missing. There were other movies with zombies before it but it most definitively is the one that started the craze.

The Countdown Has Begun But To What?

Well, maybe to civil war, or civil disturbance or outright insanity but my guess is it will not be nice no matter what the judgement. What countdown - the bit over one week we have left until the Supreme Court's current session eds for the summer and thus the countdown until their decision on the case,  Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, that may or may not overturn Roe versus Wade. More at the source.

 

There are extremists on both sides of the abortion issue while I believe both ready, willing and able to cause massive civil disturbances if they do not get the decision they want. I honestly believe though that those on the left might be willing to start a civil war should Roe v. Wade be overturned. In fact, should it not be overturned, I still think it likely those on the left will create violent civil disturbance while they celebrate - much like the Chicago basketball fans who rioted after their team won the championship many years ago; if you don't remember that one - read about it here.

 

Anyway, I have veered a bit away fro the title of this blog post so let me get to the countdown. We have this much time until the official closing hour of the Supreme Court next week on Friday and the decision apparently will have to be announced by then:

 

 

Of course, it may not take anywhere as long as that - they could announce their decision sooner - like tomorrow! Whenever, I am willing to bet rioting does not take even a few minutes to commence once the decision comes down if it actually overturns Roe versus Wade.

All the best,

I'd Not Only Hang My Head In Shame...

 ...but probably would also resign, or even do something more drastic to show my repentance if I had been one of the law enforcement officers in the hallway during the school shooting in Uvalde. They evidently never even tried to open the classroom door of the classroom in which children were being massacred. That is if the report I just read is true, that the damned door reportedly was unlocked all the time they stood there doing nothing - until they finally went in - which was of course way too late for so many young children and two teachers. More on the door and other related issues at the source.

 

What could cause them to stand there waiting for something for which they did not need to wait. Having been in law enforcement for 32 years I can think of several things that could cause them to do that but cannot think of one that will excuse them. Here are what I believe may have been the cause(s) of their inaction:

 

1. One of the first offices to reach the door tried it - turned the knob or handle and either pushed or pulled the wrong way and not the other way, then mistakenly told other officers the door was locked. Sure, it sounds lame but I suppose it could happen in the heat of a very heart pounding moment when adrenaline is flowing hard and fast. I would think though that one other or more of them also would have have tried to door while waiting, that they seemingly did not is mind boggling. 

 

2. That maybe no one at all tried to open the door, that they just stacked outside, waiting while all assuming it was locked is a possibility. It is a possibility though that I can not imagine being reality.

 

3. They were scared shitless and cowered in the hallway frozen in place. In other words all of them were sniveling cowards. That, I find almost impossible but yet not absolutely impossible to believe. I find it almost impossible to believe mostly because they did enter eventually. Yet fear is a great de-motivator, as great as it is a motivator, so they could have been too scared to go in for some time before actually working up the courage to do so. I would certainly hope that was not the case.

4. That they all thought too much of the words of their training officers who taught them that the most important thing was getting home at the end of a shift. Yes folks, that is actually taught to law enforcement officers, I remember hearing it myself and it turned my stomach when I heard it. Now, I'll admit, I only ever heard it from one training instructor - it was not rampant. I would hope that was not the case.

 

5. They were under orders not to go in and obeyed those orders. I, for one, cannot imagine obeying such orders if I had been there hearing the gun shots being fired and pretty much knowing children were dying as I stood there waiting for an order to advance. That is a situation under which you must take command of the situation and use your own discretion. At least one of those officers, after hearing the shots going off, should have realized it was no longer a barricade situation and should have manned up and taken command and ordered an entry as I see it. I cannot imagine most of those I worked with in law enforcement just waiting because that was the order. I find it sad to believe that no one was willing to take the reigns and lead the entry to prevent children being killed.

6. That the officers there had not been properly trained for such a situation seems most likely to me. This would have made them more likely to remain in place after having been ordered to do so. I am not saying it is the case but to me seems the most likely. Either that or numbers 1 or 2 above.

 

There probably are other possible causes. No matter what it was that kept them standing there, if I had been one of them I am pretty sure I'd be resigning if indeed the door was unlocked that whole time. I'd also hang my head lower in shame than it is already hanging. It is already hung low because of the shame I feel over the miserable failure, of all those fellow law enforcement officers, to protect those innocent young children.

If I was the chief who gave the order to stand fast - the guy who ordered them to wait for everything - even for the keys that the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety now reportedly has said were never needed in the first place - I'd probably not only hang my head, I'd probably hang myself (not suggesting that chief do so, just saying what I might do). My guess though is that the chief is a mouth-breathing lowlife pompous arrogant and incompetent commander and that he feels little to no remorse at all. If he did feel remorse - I think he at least would have resigned almost immediately.

All the best,

Glenn B

 

 

 

 

I Had Thought We Kicked The King's Arse...

 ...or at least the arses of his military men and allies in the American Revolution, aka: The War Of Independence. So you can imagine how bewildered was I when I was looking at a revolver on Gunbroker.com when I saw the condition of it was rated  by the King's Firearms Condition Standards. 

I do not recall seeing them in a lifetime of shooting until to'day. Here they are in case you are wondering:

The King's Firearms Condition Standards For Modern Firearms

 Grade 10 : New in box, a grading of 10 means the firearm is as it came from the factory with all the factory paperwork ect included. Not used.

Grade 9 : LNIB, a grading of 9 means the firearm is used but appear to be in a new in box condition. Will not show wear. Possibly will have a few rounds through the firearm.

Grade 8 : Very good to excellent, a grading of 8 means the firearm will show some very minor wear and/or scratches to the finish.

Grade 7 : Good to very good, a grading of 7 means the firearm will show light to mild wear and/or scratches. Will be in good mechanical condition.

Grade 6 : Good, a grading of 6 means the firearm appears to be in good functional condition but will show mild wear and/or scratches. This wear may include holster wear and/or light to mild surface rust.

Grade 5 : Fair, a grading of 5 means the firearm appears to be in functional condition but will show mild to heavy wear and/or scratches. This wear may include holster wear and/or light to mild pitting. This may also include frame modification and/or polished slides ect.

Grade 4 : As is, a grading of 4 means the firearm will cock and dry fire but no actual guarantee of actual function. Finish condition will vary from fair to good.

Grade 3 : Poor, a grading of 3 means the firearm will cock and dry fire but will show heavy wear, deep gouges and/or heavy pitting. Also, may include broken stocks and or missing parts.

Grade 2 : Parts, a grading of 2 means the firearm(s) is not in a functional condition and will need parts and repair to fix. Finish of a grade 2 will vary from fair to good.

Grade 1 : Parts, a grading of 1 means the firearm(s) is not in a functional condition and may or may not be repairable.

Nice standards but I look at them this way, if by King's they mean they are in some way, shape or form related to the king of England (I know there is no current king) - they are as useless as trash to me. I do not bow down before, honor or follow any rules set by or even merely named for a monarch. Of course, they could be named after some guy named Ichabod King for all I know; so if anyone knows where and how they originated, clue me in please.

All the best,

Another Unavoidable Fix Tomorrow...

 ...and by fix I mean as in a shot of dope due to an addiction (figuratively of course because I don't shoot horse). Literally, what I mean is a fix for my addiction to Hessney Firearms auctions, they are holding an online Sportsman Auction tomorrow, starting at 10 AM NY time.

 

Damn, I already have bids in amounting to $617.50 and expect to bid on several more items. Of course, that does not mean I will have the high bids on anything but I do expect to have the highest bid on at least one lot (not telling which one now) if my predetermined max bid winds up being good.

Before The Munsters!

 

In the Munsters, she looked like this: 

 

I gladly would have been her Jonathan Harker!

 

You may never have seen or guessed what she looked like before The Munsters:

 

 

This is one of my favorite still shots of her.

A pretty darned good looking gal was Yvonne De Carlo. Not bad at all, hot when young and maybe hotter when she was Lily in The Munsters!

Grateful Dead - Their Worst Album BUT Their Best Cover

This is the best Grateful Dead album cover by far, as I see it. In fact, I have never seen a better album cover than this one (although the first Black Sabath album cover comes darned close), not from any musician or musical group. 

 

Of course, one could wish the album that came under that cover was better, I think it the worst Dead album to which I have ever listened. Then again, it's the Grateful Dead - in their heyday - and their music & song surely beats almost any crap rap, country bumpkin crooning (and you must realize I love Cash, Nelson & Jennings), 50s & 60s early rock n'roll, later rock, heavy metal (I love early Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne), heavenly rock - just in case Elvis truly is alive, blues, rhythm & blues, bluegrass, swing, boogie-woogie, harmony, jazz, gospel, big band (although Glenn Miller & his band were pretty good) and classical music that is on the planet. 

 

There is one musical work,that in my ears, beats them all - even anything by the Dead. That would be what I consider to be the closest thing to musical perfection ever on this earth & under or even in the heavens - Vivaldi's Four Seasons. With that one the music is truly a wonderfully masterful composition but all the various cover art I've seen for it sucks. It is just the opposite of the music versus the album cover for Blues for Allah.

buy, Buy, BUY AMMO NOW

If you are short on 5.56x45mm ammo, I suggest you had best buy it now because sources have been quoted as saying Winchester has been ordered to stop selling Lake City M855 and SS109 to the civilian market. According to an article I just read, that ammo supposedly makes up about 30% of the 5.56 ammo in the market. Now, while that may be true, I think that figure seems rather high but if the Biden Administration actually put out such an order it will definitely adversely affect ammo supplies. Read about it at the source.

I look at it this way, as long as you don't need to hump it over hill and over dale - you cannot have enough ammo. Makes me think of the old movie Gunga Din with Sam Jaffe in the title roll. At one point, in battle, the troops called out to him: 

 

 I think they would have fared better had they brought their own full canteens and instead said:

Ammo Gunga Din, Gunga Din bring ammo! 

 

Anyway, I think we'd each be better off today to consider ourselves our own Gunga Dins of sorts and thus tell ourselves: "Buy Ammo Gunga Din, Gunga Din Buy Ammo"! Why? It maybe is about to be in even shorter supply than it was last year and that will mean one thing besides less supply and that one thing is much higher prices. 

 

So if you want to be ready for the civil war that I sadly believe is coming - because the leftists seem to be pushing for it (although, I hope I am wrong about that) by way of brainwashing our children, by turning men into women and women into men, by ripping full term babies out of a mother's womb and calling it legal abortion, by not only being easy on criminals but by actually facilitating crime with passage of laws and regulations that amount to doing nothing to prosecute, by creating the worst inflation in over 40 years, by destroying our ability to be energy independent, and by destroying our rights & liberties bit by bit and day by day - get your ammo while the getting is good at least still possible. I surely hope though it will never actually be needed for a civil war against enemies of the Constitution nor to overthrow a tyrannical government but then again the possibility of things like that that is why the Framer's of the Constitution & of the Bill of Rights thought up & wrote in the 2nd Amendment.

Justice Swift & Decisive - Children Being Shot Averted - Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead

 You got to hand it to the police this time around. They responded within a couple minutes to a summer camp from which they had received a call about an active shooter and they quickly terminated the threat with extreme prejudice (nothing racial implied although I am sure the sacks of shit at BLM will say otherwise because the shooter was black).

There are other good guys, other than the police that is. One of them took immediate action, of an unknown type at the time I write this, to confront the shooter prior to police arriving. As he confronted the alleged bad guy, other camp staff immediately moved the children to safety behind locked doors. Meanwhile, the alleged shooter reportedly fired at least one shot inside the camp. 

When the cops got there - reportedly within only 2 minutes of receiving a 911 call, they immediately entered, sought out the shooter, found the shooter in the gym reportedly where children were present and engaged & shot him. The alleged shooter wound up dying later at a local hospital. More at the source.

That last fact brought joy to my heart, not so much because the guy was terminated but that the apparent dirtbag will never again be able to try to do what he wanted to do today. All I could think of was this:

This past Monday, there were heroes who did the right thing and saved not only the day but it seems many children's lives as well. If you cannot be joyous about that and if you cannot see why citizens need to take action and why good law enforcement is a necessity, then there is something sadly wrong with you.

Patrullero De La Frontera - Not The Job I'd Want Now

 I started my career in the U.S. Border Patrol back in 1979 and those probably were the four most exciting years of my career if not my life. Don't get me wrong: it was not the best job I have ever had, not the best paying by far and most definitely not the most conducive to a long happy career but it sure was the wild west of the 20th century and my brother & sister agents were excellent for the great majority of them. The senoritas were not bad at all either!

 

As far as it goes now though, if I were a young man today, I'd not work for the U.S. Border Patrol for ten times their current pay. Not only is biden allowing illegals to flood the SW and overwhelm the BPAs defending it but the agents cannot get a break. They get screwed even when it was proven they did nothing wrong, that being relative to trying to round up a group of Haitian illegal aliens not all that long ago. They were falsely accused of whipping aliens and that has been an allegation that has been proven false; yet, their bosses - in particular  biden, along with leftist politicians & activists and the media fucked them over and apparently are still trying their best to do so. More at the source.

 

It's been getting so bad, what with all the crazy anti-law enforcement spewed by leftists that it seems Bizarro World ain't got shit on planet Earth (or at least on the US of A) so long as liberals inhabit it!

Wondering What She Looks Like Now

I think I first downloaded the hidden photo (to see it click on the read more link below but be advised she's nekid) back in 2008; although, it could have been as early as the late 90s. She has always intrigued me, not mostly because she is very fine looking but because I have a pretty good idea that I've met her before - in fact that we lived on the same block in NYC. (Yeah, I know "Haven't we met before?" is a lousy pick up line but I am not trying to pick anyone up - it's just the truth).

Anyway, seeing her pic again makes me wonder what she looks like now because she certainly was a hottie back then. Click on the below link to see her for yourself.

So Biden Has Told Us Which Guns He Owns...

I still cannot believe this was the best the dems thought they had to offer America! He is absolutely nothing more than a pure POS leftist anti-American scumbag.

 ...while at the same time wanting to ban the rest of us from owning guns in 9mm and AR-15s (and probably lots of other semi-autos). More at the source. While he says he has two shotguns, the thing he neglected to tell us is what weapons his security details in the Secret Service and the military carry. 

FUCK YOU JOE BIDEN YOU COMMUNIST PIECE OF SHIT!

PS: Well, that wish of all the best goes out to most folks excepting anti-gun & anti-American commies like Biden.

Really - A Lifeguard Shortage

Is there actually going to be a lifeguard shortage as reported at the source: http://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/americas-lifeguard-shortage-crisis?

 

They have got to be shitting us or is it shitting on us! Does the media  (yes, Fox News is part of the Mud Slinging Media) really expect us, or at least me, to believe that youngsters (yes most lifeguards are pretty young) have shied away from summer season jobs as lifeguards? I wonder, if true, is it that they have decided to become rocket scientists, architects, police officers, politicians, plumbers, philosophers, McDonald's servers, reporters or more likely that they've become transgender freaks who are no longer attracted by what attracted them to pools and beaches all around our nation in the past - and that would be scantily clad heterosexual folks of the opposite sex with Adonis & Aphrodite like tanned curvaceous bodies:

  

I truly do not know what is happening to the youth of the USA except to say that the twisted minds of academic libturdia are like a plague upon them. Damn, if my hips were not in such bad shape and if I did not look like a decrepit beached whale, I'd don Speedos and apply for the job myself!

I Bet That Schumer Wished The Guy Assasinated...

...Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh! If you do not know what I am talking about go to the source.

One has to remember that Schumer said this in 2020. 

 "I want to tell you, [Justice] Gorsuch, I want to tell you, [Justice] Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price, You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

Why Schumer was not arrested, charged with and found guilty of sedition or at least of making terroristic threats is beyond me.

So Why Wasn't The Media Hysterical Over This Mass Murder

 Heck, six people killed during a robbery gone bad. More at the source. That many qualifies the crime as a mass murder. Yet, I do not recall much media fuss over it, do you!

The victims all were shot, one shot to each victims head, shot as in with a firearm. If that was not bad enough, it has been alleged that the suspected killer then took a selfie of himself, while at the crime scene, while wearing sunglasses that had belonged to one of the victims. Regardless of the heinous crime, there evidently is still no outcry from leftist polticians, the commie loving media or other liberals to ban guns because of it. I wonder why not. 

QDo you have a theory as to why not? I do but I will keep it to myself lest I be called a racist by leftist scum who see any white male on the right or leaning that way or who is just plain logical as being one. Bizarro World, it seems, is upon us and was created by the left.

"Why’d that cop have to shoot him so many times!” - A Good Read To Read Again & Again

I am pretty sure that I have posted this link before, to a very interesting article about how much spare ammo is enough to carry. I came across it again today, after seeing a comment in a gun forum thread about carrying extra ammo in which someone replied they do not carry a spare magazine for his/her semi-auto pistol.

 

So, I figured it might be a good idea to post it again because not carrying at least two spare magazines is asking begging for trouble as far as I see it. Some truly eye opening details about a police officer's involvement in an armed encounter with a really bad guy can be seen in the article at the below link.

I Would Not Want To Be That LEO...

 ..not for all the money in the world. If what a 9 year old survivor, of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, said is correct then all I can say is that the law enforcement officer who called out "yell if you need help" will live with his or her decision to have said that for the rest of his or her life. More at the source.

Do not get me wrong - I am not second-guessing  the decision of the officer to do so but I can only imagine because it essentially wound up resulting in an additional child being shot, that officer will have this on his or her conscience for his or her forever; that is if the officer has a conscience and my bet is he or she does have one. 

So why no feedback from me as to whether or not I think that was the right thing to say at that particular time. Well, for all I know, that could be what the officer was trained to do -  thus no Monday morning quarterbacking from me. Then again, it was a tough call to make in a tough situation when the whole world seems to be spinning out of control and rapidly changing from one Bizarro World to another as each moment passes. Therefor, all I am saying is, all I am commenting on, if what the survivor said is correct, is that the officer calling out like that definitely is in part what led to the girl being shot. Of that, I have no doubt (again dependent on the testimony of the 9 year old survivor which on the face of it seems highly credible) and the officer (sadly) will likely arrive at that same conclusion sooner or later along with many other conclusions about what was the result of his or her own words and actions during that intensely horrendous and time critical situation.

It is simply a fact, if the kid recounted things correctly (and on that point all of this pivots), that the result of the officer saying those words, no matter how you look at this, while unintended truly was a horrific one in that those words in part resulted in the death (or at least the shooting of) another young girl, someone's cherished child. Also without a doubt, so long as the officer has a conscience, that is going to weigh heavily upon the LEO's psyche in everlasting perpetuity. It is not to say that the officer will not be able to cope with it but more so that coping with it will be a life long challenge. That stands even if the officer who said it is one and the same as the Border Patrol Agent who terminated the evil dirtbag who had perpetrated this horrendous crime by murdering 19 children, two teachers and his own grandma. Again, I am not faulting the officer in any way shape or form but stating what I believe to be the factual result of those words being uttered.

From what I understand according to a report on Fox News today - the Border patrol Agent, a member of BORTAC, (the Border Patrol's equivalent of SWAT) ran into the fray without backup (more at the source - but it is confusing if he entered alone or with a team, either way he got the bastard). Regardless as to whether or not he had backup, if he is the one who shouted that out, he also has to keep something else in mind for the rest of his life - that he is the ONE who stopped the attack and prevented the loss of any other lives and he did so at great risk to himself. Of course, that will not likely be enough to erase the fact, if he actually was the one who said those words, that those words led to a little girl being shot (and my guess is killed).

What a terrible day for the victims, a sad & miserable day for the families & survivors to live through & live with for the remainder of their lives, and what a truly sad day for all Americans was that one. My sincerest condolences to the families, loved ones and friends of the victims, and my wishes for speedy and complete physical recovery for the gunshot or other injured victims who made it through alive and for all the children who will have nightmares for some time to come. Mental recovery most assuredly will not be speedy for any of them and may never fully take place but one can hope they find some peace sooner than later. As for the officer who said those words, damn it, I would not want to be that LEO (even if he was the one who shot the bad guy) but I sure hope he or she has the support that will be needed because that psychological counseling and moral support from those close to him will in fact be needed is an absolute certainty. 

All the best, 

Glenn B
