The 2nd Amendment

1/28/2024

0 Comments

 
Actually, this isn't about our 2nd Amendment.  It is about how people will allow authoritarian governments (kings, socialists, despots and Democrats) to turn them into serfs.

Today I compare the mentality of the citizens of the Old World to the citizens of the last free nation on Earth.

While the Democrats and Socialists (but, I repeat myself) are working to demonize "assault" rifles here in the US, their counterparts in England are now demonizing "Zombie" knives and swords.

In each case, the key to manipulating the faithful is to invent scary words and invoke scary images.

Samurai swords have been illegal in Britain for several years (curved blades are very scary) and there is now legislation moving forward to ban Medieval straight swords as well.
Here is a list of  currently illegal swords:
  • Zombie Sword – a sword whose cutting edge has serrated forms that could land lethal strikes or have clearly shown details of murderous images (for example, the word death) on them. These are also called zombie knives on occasion
  • Cane Sword – a cane that resembles a walking stick which might have a hidden thin blade inside of it or sticking out from the edge of the cane
  • Stealth Sword – any type of sword stick that resembles regular day items, like an umbrella. Because of this, these swords could be hidden and carried without being noticed by the public. They’re also often made out of material that cannot be detected by metal detectors
  • Curved Sword – any curved blade that has an overall length larger than 19.68 in (50 cm) based on a straight line from the guard to the end of the blade.

Of course, these restrictions are merely examples of 'common sense sword control' ... after all, Samurai swords are weapons of war,  right?

Well, let's see what happens when you empower overzealous, self-appointed social Nazis.

Ahhh, on the left we have 'Zombie' pliers taken off the streets.  And on the right we have courageous Officer McGulgan taking dangerous scissors from school children.

Meanwhile, here in The Land Of The Free, Home Depot is now selling swords!!  You really should go to the link and read the comments ... they are hilarious  :-)

I would like to leave y'all with a few thoughts on independence and self-reliance.

Any society where the citizens have been so beaten into submission that they now fear Medieval weapons and pointy scissors deserves to descend into irrelevance.


Socialists preach 'equity' to seduce the masses and convince everyone that they're a victim of someone. Equity breeds mediocrity and poverty and always descends into despotism.

Every socialist experiment has turned to tyranny.  Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Maduro.  There have been no exceptions.


Be careful what you vote for.

I imagine that the Brits will eventually discover the ultimate solution to crime, violence and human passion.

The Border

1/27/2024

Tomorrow (Sunday, Jan, 29th) I will upload the manuscript for my first novel to Amazon for publishing.   I mention this because reality is rapidly overtaking my science-fiction story of the future.

A Dystopian Future

In the story, the Democratic Socialists capture Congress and the White House in the 2032 elections. They align themselves with the World Order and rapidly enact Constitutionally illegal laws.  The United States is no longer a sovereign nation.

Though Texas does not secede from the Union, they declare sovereignty from Washington.  In short order, 27 other states side with Texas to form the Constitutional Caucus.

Though Civil War is never declared, the Democrats are driven out of rural America  and they control only the cities.

Picture
Back to the Present
A battle is currently being fought at our southern border.  It is a battle between the Democrats in Washington and the States being overrun by illegals.

Texas has declared that it will not obey Biden's illegal border policies and Biden has threatened to arrest members of the Texas National Guard, who are defending the border.

To date,
25 states have declared support of Texas!  I'm stunned that this is happening 8 years ahead of the events in my fictional story!

The map below is surprisingly close to the map in my story.  Clearly, Kansas and North Carolina will become Constitutional States while Virginia and New Hampshire will align with the World Order.

More in the next post.  I have a novel to finish!!

EVs - Not Ready For Prime Time

1/22/2024

I hate to beat a dead horse .... but a dead Tesla ... YAY!

As an aside ... for a more in-depth report please see my 2022 posts "EVs - Promise and Problems"

The Polar Vortex
Over the past week most of the United States has been gripped in a frigid Polar Vortex (probably due to Global Warming).  The freezing temps put a Big Chill on EVs and they failed in mass numbers.

Since I enjoy picking on Chicago, let's see the Tesla 'graveyard' where motorists were left stranded because the batteries WON'T charge if it's too cold.  A spokesperson commented that it really isn't the vehicle's fault because you have to get the battery up to it's optimal temperature first.  LOL


I honestly believe that EVs will eventually be superior to ICE vehicles ... but the battery technology just isn't there yet, and it may take another decade to mature.

In the meantime, I would rather drive an ICE than push a Tesla.

It Hertz So Good

The Biden Administration has been pandering to Climate Hysterians since his first day in office.  Numerous companies joined the woke cash-grab and are already starting to regret it.

Hertz, which had previously committed to the purchase of 100,000 Teslas only purchased about 36,000 and is now liquidating 1/3 of their EV fleet due to lack of customer demand.  They are getting rid of 20,000 EVs (mostly Teslas) and will use the funds to buy GAS vehicles.  The company took a loss of $245 Million in Q4 2023 due to the sale. 

Picture

If y'all would like to buy a used Tesla (and ya live in a nice warm climate) now's your chance!!

But don't expect to do too well on resale ... a 47% loss in 15 months despite record inflation.

Picture

Ford

Both GM and Ford gleefully jumped on the Biden EV gravy train only to see the train derailed by merciless reality.  Last Fall, Ford cut production of the electric F-150 Lightning from three shifts down to two ... and this week they announced that it will be cut down to one shift.  Ford's EV unit lost $4.5 Billion last year and is reportedly losing $36,000 on every EV sold!!

The losses on EVs are so horrific that Ford is putting a hold on $12 Billion in EV investments.  This is truly an example of Bidenomics at work!!


Picture

Please Joe
Progressive Pundits are claiming that the transition to wonderful EVs is being derailed by 'cheap' gas prices.  If Joe would just jack-up gas prices to $4.00 or $4.50 then the World would be saved from deplorable hill people driving ICE pick ups.

Please Joe ... Please, PLEASE ... jack-up gas prices in an election year.  PLEASE DO IT!

    Chewing on a piece of grass
    Walkin down the road
    Tell me, how long you gonna scam us, Joe?
    Some people say EV's don't work in snow
    You don't care .... I know

I have a bit of bad news for those of you who love Cajun cooking.  No more Crawfish Etouffee for you!!

It seems that the weather was too hot AND too cold so this year's harvest is way down.

Picture

For those of you who aren't familiar with Crawfish awesomeness, here's a link to Louisiana State University.  www.lsuagcenter.com/~/media/system/3/8/8/9/3889736fec72246f396a6f349c3eace9/pub2353enjoyinglouisianacrawfishhighres1.pdf
