Of COURSE the Cops didn’t rush in, we’ve taught them not to.

So let me get this straight:

For two plus years the left and the media have been going after the police. You’ve had dem pols rushing to defunding then, attacks in media, academia, social media and in the various cultural bastions. You have them in a position where in some blue cities they won’t even answer calls for some serious crimes.

And after years of that you expect them, near the anniversary of the George Floyd incident to rush in guns blazing against a teen of color?

Like hell they are.!

That among other things, is why I have no respect for anything the left has to say about this business. This is exactly the police force they wanted. One that doesn’t go after criminals.

Unexpectedly of course

As long as schools remain undefended mass school shootings will continue

Immediately after the news of the tragic school shooting at Uvalde, Texas broke, Democrats and other leftists began their customary shrieks demanding gun control.  Their arguments are just as contemptible as their timing. 

Guns are not to blame for mass shootings.  The National Rifle Associations is not to blame.  The vast majority of gun owners are not responsible for mass shootings. The individuals committing the heinous crimes are the only individuals who are responsible for the mass shootings.  These individuals are aided and abetted by Democrats through their gun free zones.

This article, Kobach: Gun Control Lies that Democrats Will Tell in the Days Ahead (breitbart.com), is a treasure trove of information and statistics to counter all Democrats’ specious gun control arguments, including the necessity and effectiveness of gun free zones.

The empirical data show just how dangerous gun free zones are. As pointed out by John Lott Jr., fully 98 percent of mass public shootings since 1950 occurred in places where citizens are banned from having guns. Most shooters recognize that they will encounter less resistance if their intended victims are unarmed.  Or stated differently, the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun; and the criminals know it.

This quote debunks the lie about the necessity of ‘assault weapon’ bans

However, it turns out that the overwhelming majority of mass shooters don’t actually use AR-style rifles. The Congressional Research Service wrote a lengthy report on this subject in 2015, defining a mass shooting as one in which three or more people are killed in a single incident. The study found that out of 317 mass shootings between 1999 and 2013, offenders used AR-style rifles in 31 incidents – or only 9.78% of the time.

The solution to the mass shooting crisis proposed by the author of this article, Nolte: Why Do We Refuse to Protect Our Schools? (breitbart.com), is so beyond obvious.

Evil has discovered a fast and easy way to become famous: shoot up a school. Better yet, shoot up an elementary school. We’ve known this going all the way back to Columbine. Worse still, we’ve known the pattern since Columbine…

Evil shoots up a school. A corporate media desperate for blood, ratings, and furthering its fascist agenda makes Evil the center of the world for as long as the media can milk it. This OBVIOUSLY gives other Evils ideas. And here we go again…

We live in a free country. A country where we have wisely decided that all the downside — and there are wheelbarrows of downside — that accompany free speech and a free press is worth the upside. Okay, fine. There’s nothing we can do about a craven media that exploits and pimps Evil in a way that encourages more Evil.  So what’s the alternative?  Protect our schools. That’s the alternative. Duh.

Democrats do not want mass shootings to end.  They want them to continue.  IF mass shootings stopped Democrats would not be able to shriek for gun control.  If we the American people are not disarmed, then we will be able to prevent the Democrats from stripping away all of our rights.

State Farm “Like a Creepy Neighbor” and 1970 League Opening Week Updates

Yesterday I concentrated on my team in the 1970 Draft league, if anyone is interested I managed to win game 3 as Mike Torrez pitched a complete game shutout and Ron Fairly added an insurance run with his first HR of the season for a 2-0 win, but Minnesota came to town and Willie Mays, Tony Perez, Cito Gaston and Duke Sims all homered against me which more than compensated for Pete Rose’s first blast of the year off Luis Tiant who remains a Pilot killer as Minnesota delivered a devastating 12-5 defeat in our first meeting.

However while that loss will have a minor effect on the standings of a 162 game season the State Farm “Like a Creepy Neighbor” story has had a stronger footprint as Don Surber notes:

when the week began, GenderCool had 23 corporate sponsors who funded the purchase of LGBT-friendly books and materials for kindergarteners and other kids in public schools. As of this afternoon, there are 13.

State Farm was the first. It was outed on Monday. An uproar ensued and forced the SJWs running the company to act like a good neighbor instead of the neighborhood pervert.

And what a difference a bit of sunlight makes:

After Wokenfreude hit State Farm, 9 other corporate sponsors either dropped GenderCool like a hot rock or asked that their sponsorship be placed on the QT.

The sponsors quietly distancing themselves are the USDA (Biden loves kids and in a sick way), General Mills, Adobe, Oracle, Capital One, Sprout Special, Bank of America, NBC Universal, Prudential and Indeed.

But it’s not all bad news for the groomers, The Allstate foundation has jined the groom crew and they managed some fundraising over the attention. Moreover the groom crew is getting some help from the Biden Administration:

K-12 schools must allow boys into girls’ private areas to obtain federal funds for lunches, breakfasts, and snacks, the Biden administration announced this month. A U.S. Department of Education spokesman told The Federalist the Biden administration’s press releases from several agencies announcing this policy will be followed by formal rulemaking in June.

So let boys into the girls bathroom in your kids school or no federal lunch programs for you!

I remember ten years ago when my co-host on the radio John Weston said this was the endgame of the Obama Years and people didn’t believe him. Events have proved him prophetic.
