I can understand that certain persons - probably our jugeared CINC - would hit "reply" thinking they might get a quick thrill - and the receiving email then knows about a "live" email address they can use to lend verisimilitude to later spam.

Prayer

Found in an email posted to one of my lists:

In church a sweet elderly lady was overheard saying a prayer.
It was so innocent and sincere that I just have to share it with you:

    "Dear Lord, This has been a tough four to five years. You have taken my favorite actor Patrick Swayze. My favorite musician Michael Jackson. My favorite Blues Singer Amy Winehouse. My favorite actress Elizabeth Taylor. My favorite singer Whitney Houston. And now my favorite author Tom Clancy!

I just wanted you to know that my favorite politicians are Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Harry Reid.
Amen

SPECIAL ALERT UPDATE - YOUR ACTION REQUIRED RALLY AGAINST CONCEALED CARRY CANCELLED BY ORGANIZERS As announced in earlier ISRA alerts, anti-gun State Representative Laura Fine along with the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence and the Cook County State's Attorneys Office, planned to hold a "public meeting" to attack concealed carry.  The meeting was to be held the evening of Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at the Glenview Police Station. The ISRA has just learned that the organizers of the meeting have postponed the event until a date to be announced later.  We suspect that the organizers will reschedule after they have found a venue spacious enough to accommodate the large number of law-abiding firearm owners who will turn out for the event. Once the new date and location of the meeting are announced, the ISRA will notify you by way of an alert. In the mean time, DO NOT show up at the Glenview Police Station Wednesday night. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Alert for Illinois freemen

They never stop...

URGENT ALERT - YOUR ACTION REQUIRED ANTIGUNNERS TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETINGS ATTACKING CONCEALED CARRY YOU MUST ATTEND TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT Gun-grabbing State Representative Laura Fine will be holding a so-called "Public Meeting" on Wednesday, January 22, 2014 in Glenview, Illinois.  Joining Fine in organizing the meeting is the extremely anti-gun Cook County State's Attorneys Office along with the state's most radical gun control organization, The Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence (ICHV). Fine claims that this meeting is for the purpose of answering questions the public might have about concealed carry.  In reality, the organizers plan to use the meeting to frighten the public and spread lies about the impact of concealed carry on public safety.  Fine and the other organizers plan to use this meeting as a recruiting session for ICHV and as a platform to launch efforts to REPEAL CONCEALED CARRY during the 2014 legislative session coming up this spring. DON'T BE FOOLED - Rep. Fine, the ICHV and the Cook County State's Attorneys Office want to strip you of your right of self defense, and then come take your guns away. ARE YOU GOING TO STAND BY AND LET THE GUN GRABBERS TAKE WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY YOURS? Of course not.  That is why you must stand up now and defend your rights!  That is why we must flood Fine's "Public Meeting" with solid supporters of the 2nd Amendment! 3 THINGS YOU MUST DO TO HELP PROTECT THE FUTURE OF CONCEALED CARRY AND PRESERVE ALL YOUR GUN RIGHTS 1.  Attend Rep. Fine's "Public Meeting" on concealed carry.  The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 22, 2014, 7:00 PM, Glenview Police Station, 2500 East Lake Street, Glenview.  Please plan on being there at 6:15 to make sure that you get a seat.  In the past, the gun grabbers have been known to close the doors early to stifle pro-gun voices.  Be sure to wear NRA or IGold hats and t-shirts to the event.  If you see the media there, approach them and tell them that you are a law-abiding firearm owner and that you strongly support concealed carry and the right to keep and bear arms.  The gun controllers on the panel will surely attack the Second Amendment and your right to keep and bear arms.  It is very important that you vigorously defend your rights and enthusiastically support your fellow gun owners when they speak out in defense of our Constitutional rights. 2.  Pass this alert on to all your friends and family members...tell them to show up at the meeting as well. 3.  Post this alert to any and all Internet bulletin boards or blogs to which you subscribe. REMEMBER: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 7:00 PM  (Please be there by 6:15) Glenview Police Stateion 2500 E. Lake Street Glenview, IL

Gun control that makes sense

Just found this: http://granitegrok.com/blog/2013/10/efficient-gun-control-that-actually-makes-sense

Efficient Gun Control that makes sense:

In 1863 a Democrat shot and killed Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States.
In 1881 a left wing radical Democrat shot James Garfield, President of the United States, who later died from the wound.
In 1963 a radical left wing socialist shot and killed John F. Kennedy, President of the United States.
In 1975 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at Gerald Ford, President of the United States.
In 1983 a registered Democrat shot and wounded Ronald Reagan, President of the United States.

In 1984 James Hubert, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 22 people in a McDonalds restaurant.
In 1986 Patrick Sherrill, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 15 people in an Oklahoma post office.
In 1990 James Pough, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 10 people at a GMAC office.
In 1991 George Hennard, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 23 people in a Luby’s cafeteria.
In 1995 James Daniel Simpson, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 5 coworkers in a Texas laboratory.
In 1999 Larry Asbrook, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 8 people at a church service.
In 2001 a left wing radical Democrat fired shots at the White House in a failed attempt to kill George W. Bush, President of the US.
In 2003 Douglas Williams, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people at a Lockheed Martin plant.
In 2007 a registered Democrat named Seung – Hui Cho, shot and killed 32 people in Virginia Tech.
In 2010 a mentally ill registered Democrat named Jared Lee Loughner, shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed 6 others.
In 2011 a registered Democrat named James Holmes, went into a movie theater and shot and killed 12 people.
In 2012 Andrew Engeldinger, a disgruntled Democrat, shot and killed 7 people in Minneapolis.
In 2013 a registered Democrat named Adam Lanza, shot and killed 26 people in a school.

One could go on, but you get the point, even if the media does not. Clearly, there is a problem with Democrats and guns.
No NRA member, Tea Party member, or Republican conservatives are involved.
SOLUTION: It should be illegal for Democrats to own guns.

There's some sound reasoning at the link that Democrats should be outlawed. RTWT.

Emails Show Extensive Collaboration Between EPA, Environmentalist Orgs

Internal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emails show extensive collaboration between top agency officials and leading environmentalist groups, including overt efforts to coordinate messaging and pressure the fossil fuel industry.

The emails, obtained by the Energy and Environment Legal Institute (EELI) through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, could fuel an ongoing controversy over EPA policies that critics say are biased against traditional sources of energy.

Emails show EPA used official events to help environmentalist groups gather signatures for petitions on agency rulemaking, incorporated advance copies of letters drafted by those groups into official statements, and worked with environmentalists to publicly pressure executives of at least one energy company.

Good book

Just finished "Gunny's Rules" by R Lee Ermey.

Good rules for life, and fun read.

Apology time

Just finished "Unintimidated" by Scott Walker. Good read.

In it, Governor Walker describes how Democrat Senator Tim Cullen worked with him to get the "fleebaggers" to return to Wisconsin for the vote on stripping public unions of their power to demand wages and other benefits, and forcing them o pay a small part of their own retirement and health insurance costs.

I had labelled Cullen as a "fleebagger" when I heard of his going to Illinois with the other cowards, and incorrectly lumped him in with them. I was wrong.

So, Senator Cullen, my apologies.

Climate Change!

It's here!

The wind is whistling outside - 30 MPH or more. Reminds me of that night a while back when the almost-tornado tore the Internet tower down and put me off the air for a month.

At least the whole shop isn't moving around like that night, but the wind sure sounds like a bad thriller movie soundtrack.

Idiot drivers

Coming home through Rockford this afternoon, I saw a couple of real gems driving.

First was a Ford Escape Hybrid ahead of me at a light. Light turns green. 10 seconds later, the Escape's brake lights go off, and they slowly accelerate. To much less than the speed limit - and there was no snow- or traffic- related reason for driving at anything less than the limit.

On the rear bumper was an Obama '12 sticker. When traffic allowed, passed them - on the right, as they were in the left lane.

Next up was a small car - possibly one of those new Chevy Smart Car clones. Again, driving like they were leading a funeral, blocking traffic, making unsignaled lane changes for no apparent reason.

On the rear deck lid was an Obama '08 sticker. Got past that one as soon as possible.

Last up - going north on Il Rte 2, where it's four lanes one-way with left and right-turn only lanes at a light. I'm in the leftmost through lane. A woman driving a small Chevy makes a LEFT TURN into the northbound left turn lane, narrowly missing my front bumper. A couple blocks south, she must have figured out all the oncoming headlights might mean something, as she pulled a u-turn in the middle of the road and then made a left turn back onto the road she had just left. Saw all that in the rear-view.

Did not see any O stickers on that one, but wouldn't be surprised.

Glowbull worming is REAL!

This weekend, we are going to see -20 F lows, highs sub-zero into next week.

Hey Algore - I want a refund! Where's that blistering sun in January you promised?

It's WEATHER - not "climate change". We've seen stuff like this for centuries, and only started taking detailed measurements in the last hundred years or so. Not anywhere near enough data to make big decisions like shutting all our power plants down and creating more bureaucracy to regulate cow farts.

On the good news front - I've burned less than 1/3 of the wood I laid in. With the dead fall I've seen out back, I can build up at least this much wood for NEXT winter over the new year easily.

Not dead yet!

Please - tell us!

Just where will it be legal to carry a gun in Illinois?

Law has tricky mix of where it's legal for permit holder to have gun

Well, it WAS crafted by Demonrats...

For example, the law prohibits guns at events where there is a large gathering of people, like neighborhood street festivals. But it allows people with guns to walk through a public gathering on the way home, to work or to their car.

That means, according to some firearms instructors, that people could legally walk through the crowd at the South Side Irish Parade with a gun tucked in their belt but they couldn't hang around and watch the performances.

And although the law forbids guns in public parks, nothing in the statute prohibits someone from carrying a gun on a trail or bike path that goes through a park.
In other words, firearms instructors said, it's OK to arm yourself while riding a bike through the Cook County Forest Preserves, but you'd better not get off your bike to use the bathroom.

"It's like a Byzantine maze," said Colleen Lawson, owner of Lawson Handgun Institute, a firearms training facility on the North Side. "It's possible to get through it without breaking any laws, but it's tricky."

Bottom line - carry at your own risk in Ill-Annoys, especially if you have a IL state CCW permit. Criminals and gang members will get a pass, as they have in the past.

There are serious penalties for violations. The first offense is a Class B misdemeanor, which has a maximum penalty of 180 days in jail and a $2,500 fine. A second violation is a Class A misdemeanor, which could result in up to a year in jail, a $2,500 fine and a six-month suspension of the concealed carry license. A three-time offender could get the same jail sentence, the same fine and a permanent revocation of the concealed carry license.

Again, no worries unless you are law-abiding.

Loophole in Ill-Annoys?

We all know Ill-Annoys was dragged kicking and screaming into the modern world by a court order requiring them to enact a concealed carry law.

This they did - in the most difficult and irritating way possible. Chicago, of course, is allowed special latitude in refusing CCW permits.

Of course, seeing as the legislation was in part crafted by those paragons of legal knowledge, Chicago Demonrats, we get this:

From the CCW Reciprocity web site (sic):

Illinois allows residents of other states carry a concealed firearm in their vehicle if they are can legally carry a firearm in public under the laws of their state or territory of residence and are not prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm under federal law. 

So, ANY Wisconsin resident can carry concealed in their vehicle, since Wisconsin does not require a CCW to carry a gun in public - just if you want to "conceal" it.

Smart people, those Chicago Demonrats!

Please note - you carry a gun in the People's Republik of Ill-Annoys at your own risk...even with an Illinois CCW...

The Progressive BIll of Rights

Amendment I.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of minority religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of minority speech, or of the press; or the right of minority persons peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Any majority religion or group is specifically excluded from this Amendment.

Amendment II.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to call 911 or join the National Guard, shall not be infringed.

Amendment III.

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. Law to be decided by the Commander in Chief on the fly.

Amendment IV.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized, unless the local police authority decides there is something he or she does not like about the situation, or there's an anonymous call-in that makes someone think there's something going on that someone might object to.

Amendment V.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.



Clarification: "presentment" should have been "presentiment". Precrome was definitely in the mind of the Founders when this was written - they just lacked modern spell checkers.

Amendment VI.

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence- except in cases that might prove embarrassing to the Establishment, in which case, star chamber courts are mandatory.

Amendment VII.

In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law. This Amendment shall not apply to any suit brought by a governmental authority, especially in matters of ordinance or traffic violations.



Prejudging by the media is specifically protected by the First Amendment, with guidance from official Government sources.

Amendment VIII.

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted, except in cases of racism or thought crime. Special attention is to be given to crimes of imagination perpetrated in the public education venue.

Amendment IX.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, especially the right to demand rights not enumerated here.

Amendment X.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Since "the people" is the definition of the government of the United States, this amendment is essentially meaningless.

"Legal" ways to avoid JugearsCare

Eight Ways to Opt Out of ObamaCare

Zero tolerance

Well said!

The age of crackpot zero tolerance nonsense needs to come to an end.
As a child, I played cops and mobsters, cowboys and Indians and army vs army. If I was a child today I probably would have been locked up on someone’s terrorism watch list as would most of us over the age of 25.

What has led me to this belief? Because the Imagination Nazis are out in force, goosestepping all over imagination and childhood play. Banning toy guns apparently isn’t good enough for some “educators” like the South Eastern School District in Pennsylvania.

This school district has the tagline: “Providing Progressive Education to Strengthen the Global Community”.

With a motto like that is it any wonder that the powers that be suspended a 10 year old boy, Johnny Jones, for pantomiming a bow and arrow?

Tar and feathers, folks - and a rail to "ride 'em out of town".

Proof the MSM is scripted

Maybe I need to start watching Conan O'Brien...



Also:



Found here.

Actually, this is nothing new - ever since wire services like Associated Press have existed, newspapers have printed identical stories as filler. Why should TV and, possibly, radio, be any different?

Now, if Mr. O'Brien can provide a similar sequence involving a political hot button, like a school shooting or the "knockout game"....

Note - If the videos above don't both show Conan O'Brien, but videos from an earlier post, it's Blogger's bug. Perhaps this edit will fix things.

Politicians try to fix stuff

Usually, they make things worse.

"The War on Poverty"
"The War on (some) Drugs"
"OsamaCare"
"Cash for Clunkers"
Glowbull worming - oops - "Climate Change"
"The New Deal" "Quantitative Easing"
"Affirmative Action "
Minimum wages
etc...

Now comes a Demonrat from New Jersey, Sen. Robert Menendez, angry that Target could screw up and expose millions of credit-card purchasers to fraud. He's got a sure-fire plan to fix things.

Let the SEC "fine" companies that lose customer's credit card or other personal information to hackers.

Great. The customers lose to the hackers, the stores get a federal fine - that goes right into the federal black hole, and the stores in turn raise prices to recoup their fine.

Everyone is happy, except the cheated customers, who still must deal with their deflicted credit card, and anyone who shops, as the prices go up to cover the new legal expenses.

I've got a real simple law that they could pass - make any retailer or credit-card company that loses customer information liable for every fraudulent charge and credit score loss suffered by any customer, along with a punitive fine payable directly - and tax-free - to the cheated customers. The stores might still raise their prices, but I'll bet they will be real careful with private information, knowing that they will have to pay for all the purchases a hacker might make, as well as paying the cheated for their time and trouble.

And, the federal government will never see a penny of that money.

Now - how could we make that idea work with outfits like the FDA and the EPA?

Priorities

Gotta keep the (Demonrat) voters happy!

Senate Dems: Illegal immigrant welfare over veteran benefits

Most veterans are unlikely to vote for Jugears' crowd, I guess - besides - they've done their job and are now disposable.

I don't call them "Demonrats" for nothing - they are EVIL.

Why we need Voter ID

I'm not one for government IDs, normally - but the enemy forces you to do unpleasant things sometimes.

Non-citizens caught voting in 2012 presidential election in key swing state

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted announced Wednesday that his office found 17 non-citizens illegally cast ballots in the 2012 presidential election -- and has referred the case for possible prosecution. 

The alleged crime would be a notable case of voter fraud in a key swing state. By law, only American citizens are allowed the privilege of casting ballots for the nation's leaders.

And here in Wisconsin, it's an imposition on "the poor" (who need government ID to get welfare and all the other free stuff!) to ask them to show citizenship to vote.

And Nancy Pee-Lousy keeps telling us shipping illegals back to where they came from is "just wrong" = primarily because they can be counted on to vote Demonrat?

Gateway crime

"Carrying a loaded firearm is the gateway crime to committing a murder," McCarthy said.

Video at the link.Beware - it keeps going - and going - and going...

I'm sure that every Chicago policeman, including my father, if he was still on this plane, would be surprised to know that as part of their duty, they were participating in the furtherance of murder...

Political appointees like McCarthy do not speak for the police - they speak for the mayor and the ruling political party - and the Demonrats will NEVER admit the fact that more guns in the hands of law-abiding people will bring a decrease in crime.

Celebrating "only 400-odd" murders as a good thing is insane. None of the guns involved in those murders acted alone - each was wielded by a criminal.

Bill Cosby!

Once, a good while back, I heard a Bill Cosby skit about putting an airplane engine in a car.

Pearl Harbor

In 1941 we had a Socialist President who ignored the Constitution and forced through a bunch of legislation that has resulted in lasting damage to America.

The Japanese took advantage of our apparent weakness to attack Pearl Harbor. Unfortunately for them, FDR was still an American, and our people were able to switch from a "peacetime" mentality to a wartime footing overnight. America still had a massive industrial base, and millions of skilled laborers, many who were out of work because of the Great Depression. We put together the greatest military force the world had ever seen and defeated both the Japanese and the Nazis, and after, we helped the world rebuild.

Ever since the 1960s, America has enacted law after law all intended to fix social ills or to "protect" the environment. The main result of these laws has been to institutionalize poverty and drive heavy industry offshore.

Today, we have a Socialist President that makes FDR look like a Reagan Republican, and we have foreign enemies who would love to see us brought low. Our military is being systematically stripped of leadership and hamstrung by social engineering.

Will history repeat? I doubt Jugears is capable of leading us anywhere but into Hell.

Tammy Gay shows her true colors

A friend of mine recently contacted Tammy Gay about impeachment of our traitorous "President" Jugears Osama. Here's her reply:

Subject: A message from Senator Tammy Baldwin
From: Senator Tammy Baldwin
To: xxxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx
CC:

Thank you for contacting regarding your support to impeach and remove President Obama from office.  Our nation's founders created a system of checks and balances, providing for congressional oversight as a fundamental part of ensuring co-equal branches of government.  I took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution.  I take that sacred pledge very seriously. The president and vice president of the United States also take an oath of office, swearing to "...preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."  This commitment and obligation is so fundamental to our democracy that our nation's founders proscribed that oath in our Constitution. Article II, Section 4 of our Constitution clearly delineates that the removal of the president and vice president for, is for among other things, "high crimes and misdemeanors."  Impeachment is the ultimate power that Congress has to prevent and punish abuse of power from the Executive and Judicial branches. President Obama and Vice-President Biden in no way qualify for the strict provisions detailed in our Constitution for impeachment. It is important that the integrity of our checks and balances remain in place through the careful use of the constitutional powers given to each branch of government.  I do not believe in using the ultimate power that Congress has to check the Executive and Judicial Branches for partisan ends.  Please be assured that I will continue to protect the constitutional prerogatives of Congress and guard against excess power from any branch. Once again, thank you for contacting my office. It is important for me to hear from the people of Wisconsin on the issues, thoughts and concerns that matter most to you. If I can be of further assistance, please visit my website at www.baldwin.senate.gov for information on how to contact my office. Sincerely, Tammy Baldwin United States Senator :I took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution.  I take that sacred pledge very seriously." One wonders which Constitution she is referring to. She has certainly voted for enough un-Constitutional  legislation in her time in the House and as a senator.  "President Obama and Vice-President Biden in no way qualify for the strict provisions detailed in our Constitution for impeachment." Bowing down to foreign princes and kissing their hands? Giving material aid in the form of tax money stolen from US citizens to our country's sworn enemies? Intentionally violating the laws he himself signed? Directly attacking the Bill of Rights - especially advocating direct violations of the Second Amendment? Biden might not have done anything actionable - being an idiot and a tame parrot isn't a high crime or misdememanor..

 Obama orders the IRS to shutdown non profits that speak out against him

One of those websites that prohibits quoting - go read.

In another dictatorial move to squelch any and all opposition to his socialist dictatorship, President Obama’s administration has ordered the IRS to take action against all non-profits classified as social welfare 501(c)4 groups involved in political activities.  This move appears to be targeting conservative groups and PACs such as Crossroads GPS and Priorities USA, both of which have been very vocal in their opposition to Obama and his policies.
On Tuesday, the IRS and Treasury Department offered up a new set of rules that would forbid non-profit organizations from being involved in any ‘candidate-related political activity.’  The banned activities would include registering voters, distributing campaign literature and running campaign related advertisements.

UN coming for our guns?

Maybe:

UN Troops Told To Kill Americans That Don’t Give Over Their Guns

New information has come to light as Obama continues his unconstitutional drive toward stricter gun control.  We all remember how after the tragedy at Sandy Hook quite the uproar was heard throughout the country and whether stricter gun laws would help.  This was met with strong opposition, and immediately shut down the government’s attempts of hindering the second amendment.

Unfortunately one state was able to infringe on these freedoms when the NY SAFE Act was signed into law.

After Obama was silenced on the issue, he took the only other way he knew how.  Instead of going through our country’s court, he is attempting to pass a law through the World’s Court – the UN.

Standing offer

I said this a while back - "give me your "smart gun" and I'll make it work like a regular firearm in a hour".

OK. Looks like I might be able to hope for a test of my claim - all I need is for these folks to ship me a sample.

Armatix GmbH intends to market a "smart gun" here. Story at Alphecca. Their first model is a .22, but larger calibers are easy once you have a mechanism worked out.

A 2002 New Jersey law makes use of this mandatory for anyone in that People's Republik wanting to purchase a handgun within three years after the "smart" gun goes on the market.

Aside from the obvious conflict with the Second Amendment, this is a disaster waiting to happen. If the police are armed with these, look for some smart hacker to develop an area jammer that will disable all RF controlled "smart" guns within range. Following that, look for the police being targeted by criminals wanting to steal these guns, and modify them to shoot uncontrolled by the neat digital watch. If the gun is equipped with their "Target Response System", hackers could make themselves a "no shoot" zone. From their website:

The gun only functions if you are recognized and on target.

• If you are aiming away from the target area, the pistol is immediately deactivated.
• No misuse against people or objects around you.

Armatix target shooting with no compromise on safety!

I'm going to send a request for a sample to these folks. I'll let you know the response, if any - and if I do get hold of one, I'll be careful to document my investigation and success or lack thereof.

Here's what I sent on their contact page:

I am a consulting electrical engineer, federally licensed firearms dealer, gunsmith and blogger. I have a standing offer to anyone claiming a "smart gun" - give me a sample, and I'll hack it to work like a regular "dumb" gun.

If you feel up to the challenge, let me know and I'll send my FFL number and such. If I succeed, the procedure and results will be published in my blog http://beloitballistics.blogspot.com/
If I fail, I'll publish that fact, also.

I believe a "smart gun" is an impossibility given modern technology, and will only result in people taking needless risks or being endangered by system failures or hackers. Let's see if you can prove me wrong.

I've never made a YouTube video - this might be my big break!

Open carry in Neenah, Wisconsin

Recently in Neenah, two guys were out for a walk, one carrying a rifle. Somewhat unusual in downtown Neenah, perhaps, but nothing to get all worked up over.

First we have the 911 call that triggered the incident:




And the dashcam from the responders:



The officer gets a bit wordy here, but he's got something of a point. PSH do fear people carrying weapons.

The solution is not to hide our weapons but to desensitize the public to regular carry. This should not be seen as am unusual situation.

This cop tells us that if he sees me "walk into a gas station" carrying, he's going to cap me. I guess I've been really lucky, since I've open carried into several Beloit gas stations - and never got a look, except for the clerk with the Middle Eastern accent who wanted me to show him my gun - I declined...

Must read speech

Utah Senator Mike Lee addressed the Heritage Foundation recently. His speech needs to be read by every American and especially by all of our "leaders"

The concept of "America" has been a "war on poverty" from the beginning - LBJ's formal "war on poverty" has been a resounding failure - as are all socialist / big government projects in the end.

If we heed Senator Lee's advice, the only people left in poverty will be those who refuse to do anything about it.

A physician called into a radio show and said:
"That's the definition of a stool sample".

Freedom of association

It's ironic - here in Wisconsin we have a law "stripping" public unions of much of their power to blackmail and extort pay increases and benefits from the taxpayers. This law is, of course, being contested by the people who would have to live within the budgets the people of Wisconsin can afford, otherwise.

I just heard one sound bite of a union member telling us that the Constitution prohibits laws that affect "freedom of association" - so membership in unions should be protected.

OK, I'll accept that anyone has a right to associate with anyone they choose. Allowing that association the power to command the people to pay them does not seem to be mentioned anywhere in the Constitution that I can find.

As much as I abhor what FDR did to our country with his "New Deal", he at least had the intelligence to prohibit public unions - so there was no extortion until Wisconsin led the way with allowing public unions in the late '50's.

It's also ironic that the same people who are screaming for the "right to associate" as they will are likely also those who support things like the new push for "ENDA" in CONgress - a law that will further prohibit people from associating as they desire.

A heartfelt thank you to all our veterans. 

Religion of peace?

Perhaps, for some values of "peace" - but definitely a religion of grand theft from anyone who isn't a devout Muslim (of the right polarity).

U.S. imam: Muslims can take the property of Christians and Jews

In his sermon/lecture in the YouTube audio below, Qadhi begins by calling Christians “shirk” for being “polythesists” who believe in the Triune God, instead of Islam’s “monotheist” god Allah. Since “there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah wuzza wuzza,” Christians are “by necessity and by definition … the most evil of all evils.” Like all “unbelievers” and “polytheists.” Christians are “filthy.” They are ”najusa” (feces, urine) — “a filthy impure dirty substance.”

Then Qadhi declares that the prophet Mohammad — and by extension all Muslims — “has been commanded to do jihad.”

What is jihad?

Jihad “is a means to establish monotheism on the land.” The prophet had said, “I have been commanded to fight the people until they” convert to Islam. But “if they don’t [convert to Islam,] their life and property are halal [free for the taking] for the Muslims.”

Their own words. This is what a devout Muslim believes.

When will our government take notice of what is happening right here, right now?

Well, as long as we have a Muslim-loving president, never.

When "mainstream" Islam begins to publicly disavow people like Qadhi, I'll start to believe they might be thinking of peaceful co-existence with other religions. Until then:

 

The power has to come from SOMEWHERE

and solar plus wind ain't going to do it:

California's First-in-Nation Energy Storage Mandate

California has adopted the United States' first energy storage mandate, requiring the state's three major power companies to have electricity storage capacity that can output 1325 megawatts in place by the end of 2020, and 200 MW by the end of next year. The new rule issued by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will be key to implementation of the state's ambitious renewable portfolio rules, which calls for 33 percent of delivered electricity to come from renewable sources by 2020 and virtually guarantees that California, along with Germany, will remain in the world vanguard of those aggressively building out wind and solar.

[Editor's note: For an explanation of why the mandate is expressed in units of power instead of energy follow this link.]

By common expert consent, wind and solar can only reach their full potential if storage is provided for, as otherwise little-used generating capacity must be held in reserve for the times the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine. California's landmark rule was written by Commissioner Carla Peterman, newly appointed to the CPUC late last year by Governor Jerry Brown.

 Even with "storage" - and this mandate requires the use of the most expensive methods available, instead of older, less "efficient" means like pumping water into a high reservoir and using hydroelectric generators.

Those batteries either use expensive and dangerous chemicals like lithium compounds, or they use cheap and dangerous chemicals like lead and sulfuric acid. Knowing Kalifornia, you can guess which technology will be chosen. Batteries also have a finite life - someone will have to pay to replace them regularly, and dispose of or recycle the old cells.

Flywheels with energy density high enough to be worthwhile are essentially big fragmentation grenades. Engineers know that highly stressed structures tend to fail spectacularly, and spend a lot of time on designing containment structures - that cost a lot of money and energy to produce.

We have ample energy available in nuclear and future thorium-nuclear power plants. For the interim, "clean coal" technology exists that can also provide the thorium cycle with fuel.

We had clean, safe nuclear power available twenty years ago, in the form of the Argonne Labs' IFR project - that was killed by President Clinton, at a cost higher than allowing the project to be completed would have been.

(Damn, Slick Willie has a lot to answer for - he killed the Superconducting Supercollider in Texas, too. So many Demonrat Presidents have done so much to hamstring humanity's advance...)

It does not suit the plans of the New World Order and the international Communist movement to allow the use of energy sources that are cheaper and truly sustainable, because these sources tend to make people independent of governments. Wind farms and solar farms can only exist with governmental subsidies - no corporation on Earth would touch these technologies in the volume they exist today unless they were getting healthy amounts of money from somewhere - and turbines and solar farms can never economically justify themselves.

I would love to see an accounting of how much dirty energy is required to produce one wind farm turbine - versus how much "clean" energy that turbine will produce over it's lifetime. Or, how much energy and toxic waste is involved in making a lithium cell for commercial energy storage. Is there a break-even, or a net loss?

Here's why we need Voter ID laws

Evidence of Widespread Voter Fraud Found in Virginia Governor’s Race

Richmond, VA–Merely hours after the close of a bitter and divisive Governor’s race in Virginia that saw Democrat Terry McAuliffe pull out a win over Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, irregularities in voting data have emerged.  According to mainstream media outlets McAuliffe supposedly defeated Cuccinelli in a razor-thin 47-46 percent victory to become the next Governor of the great state of Virginia.

Immediately following the announcement, Cuccinelli’s office opened a full investigation into the legitimacy of the vote and quickly turned up surprising results.  In 13 districts, multiple instances of intimidation at the polls were reported.  Large black men wearing traditional Black Panther garb were reported lingering around polling places approaching older voters asking questions about who they intended on voting for.  In Loudoun and Fairfax counties (traditional Democratic strongholds), election officials withheld submitting voter data in order to get an idea of whether to count absentee ballots or not.  In an audit of the voter registration information, it quickly became apparent that MULTIPLE votes were cast by people who were either deceased or had long ago moved out of the district.

According to exit polling Cuccinelli won the race by big margins reaching a high percent of the key voting blocks of women, Latinos and Blacks.

Cuccinelli was a target of large amounts of out of state financing as the Democrats set out to make the race be a referendum against the Tea Party movement.  McAuliffe got a late boost from Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as Joe Biden, who campaigned hard for the Democrat.

The Demonrats know full well that they will lose in a fair election - so they cheat.

Here in Wisconsin we hear that we don't need Voter ID because there's no cheating - but I remember reading in the Chicago Tribune back when Clinton, or maybe Gore, was running for President, that Demonrat "community organizers" were providing rides to the polls and passing out cigarettes on Milwaukee's Skid Row equivalents.

As long as a photo ID is required to get EBT or Medicaid, or to buy booze, a photo ID should be required to vote

Liar!

COINTELPRO

Sipsey Street Irregulars has some good advice for anyone concerned about our country and wanting to do something about it...

Praxis: Musings on Counterintelligence, Cockroaches and Rats.

Agents provocateur can be similar to snitches but generally are brighter, higher-functioning, more sociopathic. The best ones are charismatic, but deeply serious about the cause. They are constantly urging action, warning of dangers, casting doubts on other group members, etc. Good APs are hard to find, so Feds often reuse them under different names with other groups across the country. He may have left one group because it wasn't "hardcore" enough, or claims to have had a falling out with the leadership over principle.

With all of these the best defense is the individual Threepers' moral center that I talked about above. DPAs, SCI,s snitches and APs all count on human weaknesses -- without that moral center, if they scare someone enough they can guide them into making threatening statements, taking steps to do something illegal, etc. The principal method used is the "what if they do this, then we should do that" hypothetical discussion. NEVER -- EVER -- GET SUCKED INTO HYPOTHETICALS. If you know who you are and Who you serve then it is harder for the evil bad guys to sucker you into betraying those principles. They may have the latest threatening news of some intended raid, with just enough detail to make it plausible. Beyond a certain heightened awareness, do not react. If you have good relations with the local sheriff, report the threat to him. If someone tries to draw you in to a can't miss deal on an automatic weapon or explosives, do the same thing. Do NOT call the Feds. Remember, they're the ones who sent you the puke to begin with in order to entrap you.

Why do you think the FBI does not record interviews (even though it is high-tech and extremely efficient and precise), but uses two agents to do the interviews and write down afterward what they claim was said? The report is called an FD-302, and they can, after the fact, make it say whatever they want since it is the word of the two of them against the one of you.

I remember vividly the advice that the retired Marine counterintelligence officer once gave me. When dealing with people who approach you, always ask yourself two questions:

1. Why is this guy telling me this?

2. Why is this guy telling me this NOW?

Another important caution, again from the Bible: "Take not counsel of your fears." DPAs, SCI's and APs all count on fear to make you do things you otherwise would not. Just keep doing what you're doing and don't take your eye off the ball. If you feel the need to do SOMETHING then go train, meet and greet with potential political allies, have a cook-out BUT DON'T REACT. A reaction is what they are looking for. Deny it to them.

And don't forget the antiseptic qualities of bright light. If you are not in a position to do that yourself, pass the knowledge on to someone who can.

 Our jug-eared "leader" (and his predecessors!) have given the secret police (FBI, Homeland Security) directions to seek out "domestic terrorists" - defined, of course as anyone who believes that America is a country with a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, not a tyranny where you can be fined for not buying government-mandated "health insurance" or jailed for having freedom's tools without Big Brother's explicit permission...or anyone who believes that God is supreme over government, and wants to not serve or hire people who act in ways abhorrent to his religion..or anyone who believes in freedom, when you get right down to it.
