Shaun King’s a tool, Candace Owens Rocks.
I’m trying to spend less time on Facebook these days. Because it’s a colossal time suck of stupidity. I can’t count how many times I’ve posted something political in nature, and minutes later thought, “Naw, screw it.” Then deleted the post because I don’t feel like arguing about it. As the saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink.
But occasionally I come across something worth tossing my two cents at.
Behold, Shaun King, douche-nozzel extraordinaire!
A quick google searched proved that there was a lot of news on these two officers, and it proves what should be obvious, Shaun King is a racial tension flaming butthole who is trying to make this political.
Both officers were shot with FIVE other officers of differing races. And they weren’t selectively shot and killed because they were black, they were shot because the perp was a hell-bound creep who sexually assaulted foster children and didn’t want to go to jail.
Race doesn’t mean anything in this example. Shaun King is taking their sacrifice and abusing it by turning it political. Screw that guy.
As for the War On Police, it’s not just about police being killed in the line of duty. It’s about the lack of political support of officials who will automatically assume an officer is guilty because of the color of his skin without due process or even knowing the most basic of the facts. They’ll destroy a officer’s career while spreading misinformation, flame tensions into riots and protests to destroy peoples homes, businesses, and harm each other, all because it helps their career or re-election.
THOSE people have a common political affiliation. And it ain’t Republican.

In other news, I’ve recently been watching the greatness of Candace Owens. She’s a smart cookie and don’t take no crap from stupid folk. This video is fantastic, and the wild-eyed white lunatic reminds me of ‘Jamm’ from Parks and Rec.

In other… other news, this is groovy:
Bullet-scarred Bible saved the life of a WWI soldier.
The Bible belonged to Private Leslie Friston, a nurse with the Royal Army Medical Corps, Sky News reports. Blinded and suffering from respiratory problems following a gas attack in 1917, the then 23-year-old soldier was recovering in a makeshift hospital bed when a German plane machine-gunned the building. The bullets passed through the building’s tin roof and two hit his Bible, which was on Friston’s bedside table.
Remember, this Halloween you can’t be anything but a white male.
Because the left and stupid people playing victim need something to whine about, and cultural appropriation is a grave and serious offense to someone, somewhere because… something.
So let’s go over some popular costumes and what it takes to wear them:
- You can’t be a mummy unless you are an Egyptian.
- You can’t be Dracula unless you’re Transylvanian.
- You can’t be an Indian unless you’re an Indian. (Feather or Dot has to be Feather or Dot – NO SWAPPING!) *If you are 1/1024th Native American, you may disregard this.
- You can’t be Frankenstein unless you’re German.
- You can’t be a Ghost unless you are dead.
- You can’t be Darth Vader unless you are from Tatooine OR have proof that you can use the force.
- You can’t be an Alien unless you’re from another planet.
- You can’t be a Princess unless you are have royal blood.
- You can’t be Mickey Mouse unless you are from Disneyland.
- You can’t be a Clown unless you’ve gone to Clown School.
- You can’t be a Pirate unless you’ve got booty. (LOL)
- You can’t dress like you’re in the 1980’s unless you actually PARTIED during the 1980’s.
- You can’t be Daenary’s unless you are true Targaryen.
- You can’t be Mario unless you can eat lots of mushrooms.
- You can’t be a Storm Trooper unless you can’t shoot anything.
- You can’t be the Devil unless you’re from hell.
- You can’t be Chucky unless you are a possessed doll.
- You can’t be the Joker, because only Heath Ledger can pull it off.
- You can’t be Pennywise unless you’ve snorted a half pound of cocaine before writing the book and your name begins with Stephen and ends with King.
- You can’t be Wonder Woman unless you’re an Amazonian with the blood of Zeus in your veins.
Please check your privilege at the door before you let your kids have fun and eat candy. Because they could be inadvertently mocking someone else’s heritage. And that FEELS wrong.
But if you want to be the supreme evil, the worst of the worst, the most hated and despised creature on the planet, responsible for all hate and suffering and kicked puppies – You can be a white male.
Edit – Oh Look, Don Lemon put in such eloquent words.
“We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right. And we have to start doing something about them. There is no travel ban on them. There is no ban on — they had the Muslim ban. There is no white guy ban. So, what do we do about that?” (link)
Everyone dress up as a white man this year! Terrorize the Trunk or Treats with your scary-ness!
Simple Math 101: Is a woman’s gun likely to be taken away and used against her?
Every once in a while, I go indepth on an online discussion and feel like it’s worth reposting here and expanding on a bit for posterity.
In this case, a man on a four-wheeling forum mentioned concern for his daughters after the Mollie Tibbets case and asked about some local self-defense courses. Which invariably, brought up guns after some stupid talk of tasers and pepper spray. -eye roll-
Here is the copied post, with a few things edited in for added emphasis.

First off, personal pet peeve, I hate when people lead off with “Guys, I’ve shot guns before, but…” or “I’m a gun owner, but…” That does not give your statement more weight or correctness. And it’s often used as a cheap trick to add gravitas to your incorrect opinion.
Second, what statistics are you using? Because that is the sort of incorrect information that leads to people making wrong decisions about self-protection.
Back in the 1990’s, the CDC did a study and squashed it after the results didn’t fit the narrative of the Clinton Assault Weapon Ban that sent people to jail for years for having one more cosmetic feature than allowed. Like a bayonet lug. Never mind that no one in America has been bayoneted since the Civil War era… Got one AND a detachable magazine AND a collapsible stock? GASP!
Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. See you in 5 to 10 years.
But I digress.
NARRATIVE FAIL: Newly Discovered CDC Surveys Demolish Anti-Gun Talking Points
Let’s do some math. Women make up 50.8% of the population. (I’m guessing because they don’t do stupid stuff when they are young like men do. Like sticking firecrackers in their butts and playing superman off roof tops).
Using the CDC numbers… 2.46 million divided by 50.8% equals 1,249,680 women who have ‘admitted’ to defensively using a firearm per year. (By the way, I suspect this number is low because we gun owners have an inherent distrust of government and answering questions about our guns. ALSO, I suspect women made up a larger percentage of the total, as they are the most likely to carry pistols and most likely to be subjects of violent attacks and creeped out by potential attackers.)
Taking the basic majority of ‘most likely to be used against them’.. so 51% of 1,249,680 women – 637,336.8 women have their gun taken and used against them every year. I reckon that 0.8 lady almost, but not quite, gets to keep the gun from her assailant. Tough luck lady.
Knowing the numbers, do you think over 630,000 women have had their guns taken from them and used against them PER YEAR?
Yeah, I don’t think so buddy…
Edit – Geez, I found this in my ‘Blog Drafts’ bin and realized I never hit the publish button. Oh well. Here you go.
