This Is Not Justice

From the Detroit News: A Sanilac County Circuit judge has granted parenting time and joint legal custody of an 8-year-old boy to a convicted sex offender who allegedly raped the child’s mother nine years ago.
Sanilac County Circuit judge has granted parenting time and joint legal custody of an 8-year-old boy to a convicted sex offender who allegedly raped the child’s mother nine years ago.

Christopher Mirasolo, 27, of Brown City was awarded joint legal custody by Judge Gregory S. Ross after DNA testing established paternity of the child, according to the victim’s attorney, Rebecca Kiessling, who is seeking protection under the federal Rape Survivor Child Custody Act. A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 25.

The case, initially reported on “The Steve Gruber Show,” a Lansing-based radio program, is believed the first of its kind in Michigan and possibly the nation. According to the victim and Kiessling, it was prompted after the county surveyed the victim regarding child support she had received this past year.

“This is insane,” said Kiessling, who filed objections Friday with Ross. “Nothing has been right about this since it was originally investigated. He was never properly charged and should still be sitting behind bars somewhere, but the system is victimizing my client, who was a child herself when this all happened.” http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2017/10/06/rape-victim-attacker-joint-child-custody/106374256/

I realize the State is trying to get money from the thug to support the child but to give him half custody and visitation is just wrong and downright mean.

Terrorism In Vegas Part 2

According to several news accounts on TV, there will be many people killed, up 20 people dead and many more injured.
Some thoughts:
During the Obama administration, they tried to take away terrorism funding saying Vegas was not a high risk for terrorism but it was eventually replaced, though at not at all.
The shooters is dead and and they are looking for an Asian woman.
The shooters is a local thug.
The shooters was on the 32nd floor and killed by the cops.  That is pretty amazing considering the size of the hotel.
The sheriff's has said there are over 20 dead and hundred injured.  Some people were trampled.
Two on duty officers were shot and several off duty cops have been killed.
There were also terrorist attacks in Edmonton, Canada and in France this weekend.
Update: now they are saying over 50 have died and 200+ injured.  As stated in my previous post, my ex-wife works at a local tpuotupn room and they are swamped with patients.  My guess this is true all across the valley.
The suspect is Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, NV.,which is located about 90 miles north of Las Vegas, by the NV, AZ and Utah.  It is also near the standoff of a few years ago with right wing extremists.  Not sure if this connected.
Paddock has a clean court records in Nevada and Arizona.
Update: Now 58 dead and 500 injured.  It has to be in the top 5 terrorist attack in the U.S..

Terrorism in Las Vegas

From the LVRJ: Las Vegas police have confirmed at least two people have been killed and another 20 have been injured in a shooting Sunday night at Mandalay Bay, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Metro confirmed about midnight that one suspect is “down.”

The department is asking people to avoid the area.

Police scanner traffic reported multiple casualties from the incident and possibly two shooters with automatic weapons.

The attack came during the last performances on the final night of the three-day country music festival, which has been held for the past four years on an 15-acre lot across Las Vegas Boulevard from Mandalay Bay.

It appeared the shooters were firing down at people from upper-level rooms of Mandalay Bay.

Ivetta Saldana said Jason Aldean stopped in the middle of his performance and was rushed off the stage. She was there with a friend and said the shots sounded like fireworks.

 FBI SWAT as well as SWAT units from Henderson, North Las Vegas and Las Vegas were called to the scene, according to police scanner report.

Multiple ambulances and police vehicles are on the scene, and victims have been have been sent to University Medical Center and Sunrise Hospital Medical Center. Multiple roads surrounding the area have been shut down.

This will be updated as more information  becomes available.
Update: my ex-wife is an RN at a local Las Vegas hospital emergency and she is telling me that they are swamped with patients, probably patients from UMC hospital. 

Solar Energy...Not All That Green

From the Pahrump Valley Times: A Las Vegas law firm is launching an investigation into allegations of employees’ gas exposure at the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project.
Craig Drummond, attorney from Drummond Law Firm in Las Vegas, said he is in the early stages of the investigation into employees’ potential exposure to nitrogen dioxide gas from a hot salt tank at the solar plant near Tonopah.
Drummond was hired by Timothy Stiver, a former mechanical supervisor at Cobra, a Madrid, Spain-based contractor for Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project. Stiver alleged that he and a group of other workers were hospitalized after inhaling the gas emitted from the hot salt tank....
Stiver, 53, relocated to Tonopah from Florida four years ago, to work on the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project.
In late August, he said he had a respiratory failure after working in the unit next to the hot salt tank.
“I woke up at about one o’clock in the morning, had burn all the way down to the middle of my chest, I couldn’t stop coughing,” Stiver said in an interview.
An hour later, he started vomiting.
“I was in a fetal position until 5:30 in the morning,” Stiver said.
After missing a day of work due to his sickness, Stiver started coughing up blood the next morning. Stiver’s wife drove him to a hospital in Reno where he spent the next few days....
An employee for another contracting company at Crescent Dunes, who declined to identify herself, said that she had experienced throat burns accompanied by a strong headache while she was at work on Aug 23.
“My boss personally drove me to Hawthorne,” the woman said. “I got a breathing treatment, I got on steroids, which messed with my blood sugar because I’m diabetic. … That really tore me up. I couldn’t stay focused, it was miserable. I’ve never felt that way.”
Before she left the emergency room, she said another worker arrived with second-degree burns.

There is a myth that supposed clean energy is actually  clean as the wind driven snow.
Whether it is solar power or electric cars, it is all dirty to 1 extent to another.

At The Nascar Truck Races Tonight

No one kneeled on pit road during the national anthem....as it should be.

RIP Hugh Hefner

The man who made
easy many men and boys has died. Hugh Hefner was 91.
From the NY Post: The iconic founder of Playboy Magazine Hugh Hefner died Wednesday at 91, the magazine announced Wednesday night.

The publisher of the quintessential men’s lifestyle magazine built an empire around the alluring business.

Playboy announced his death in a tweet.

“Life is too short to live someone else’s dream,” read a quote from the founder.

The company said Hefner died peacefully at his Playboy Mansion home. http://pagesix.com/2017/09/27/playboy-founder-hugh-hefner-dies-at-91/?_ga=2.200181806.1440432728.1506281153-1244352197.1461632138

Hefner pretty much brought in the sexual revolution to the world singlehandedly.  But as the Internet came along Playboy pretty much became irrelevant. 

If he has a funeral or memorial service there will probably enough silicone to float a battleship.

So, Now We Are Being Lectured By Uneducated Thugs?

So, a bunch of uneducated thug football players are lecturing us while the disrespect the U.S. fl as good and national anthem.
If you listen to most of these football players who are kneeling, most cannot put together a coherent sentence.  And they think they know what is going on in the real world?
Most of these NFL players protesting went to fake classes, took fake tests and have degrees in advanced basket weaving.
Yes, most are smart when it comes to football, they know how to read plays and follow directions from the coaches but few are rarely knowledgeable about any thing else. These players are so stupid that they have agents, accountants and other posse members who leach off these failure football players, many who will be broke 10 years after leaving football despite making more money than the average lottery winner.
So, I really don't care if these uneducated fools kneel during the national anthem. With their collective IQ equal to your average potato, they don't impress me whatsoever.
If they want to kneel, who cares? I'll just watch NASCAR for the rest of their season and then and go watch paint dry...that would be more exciting that watching a bunch of uneducated thugs kneel for 2 minutes.

Conservatives Win Again

From Yahoo News: Firebrand jurist Roy Moore has won the Alabama Republican primary for U.S. Senate, defeating an appointed incumbent backed by President Donald Trump and allies of Sen. Mitch McConnell.
In an upset likely to rock the party establishment, Moore clinched victory Tuesday over Sen. Luther Strange to win the GOP nomination for the Senate seat previously held by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Moore will face Democrat Doug Jones in a Dec. 12 special election.
Moore is the state's former chief justice who was twice removed from his duties for defying federal courts over same-sex marriage and the public display of the Ten Commandments.
Propelled by evangelical voters, Moore consolidated support from a number of anti-establishment forces, including former White House strategist Steve Bannon. https://www.yahoo.com/news/latest-trump-makes-final-push-alabama-senate-race-111940934--election.html
Moore led the polls throughout the primary and he defeats Mitch McConnell's lapdog.
This is a big win for conservatives and I hope the Swamp realizes this.
Another winner here in Arizona is Dr. Kelli Ward, a true conservative who is going after RINO Jeff Flake.

About Darn Time

From the Washington Times:  Just in time to celebrate its first anniversary, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture has included a display featuring Justice Clarence Thomas, one of the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative stalwarts.

Justice Thomas appears in an exhibit that was installed Sunday, a Smithsonian spokeswoman said Monday. The display honors both of the black justices who ascended to the pinnacle of the legal profession. The other is Thurgood Marshall.

Justice Thomas’ apparent omission irked conservative observers, who suspected an ideological bias among Smithsonian officials and called for the influential jurist’s inclusion in the museum. http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/sep/25/clarence-thomas-spot-african-american-museum/

It wasn't an apparent omission " it was a flat out an ommison because Justice Thomas dared to be a black conservative who didn't back down to liberal racists. 

Justice should have been included when the museum first opened notan after thought a year later.

Another Reason To Go To War Against "Rocketman"

From the NY Post: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has the cash for lavish caviar lunches — but he isn’t putting any toward his country’s mountain of Big Apple parking tickets.
North Korea’s diplomatic mission to the United Nations owes New York City more than $156,000 from 1,300 unpaid parking tickets, making them one of the biggest scofflaws in the city, NBC 4 reported. The unpaid tickets date back to the 1990s.

A North Korean diplomat named Jong Jo told the outlet there must be an error because the city has the right to withhold parking privileges for diplomats if they have more than three unpaid tickets.

“It’s not true,” Jo said.

“It is false. Whenever we have a ticket, we pay. Because, you know, if we have three tickets the city does not allow us to renew their permission.”  

The three ticket rule dates back to a 2002 memorandum of understanding between the city and the U.S. Department of State that gives the city the right to withhold a diplomatic parking decal if one the vehicles fails to pay three or more parking tickets.

However, most of the hermit kingdom’s parking fines date back to 2002, before the understanding and during a time when diplomatic vehicles from across the world regularly racked up and ignored unpaid violations with little ramifications, NBC 4 said.

http://nypost.com/2017/09/20/north-korea-owes-nyc-over-156k-in-parking-tickets/

Diplomatic immunity pretty much sucks for the U.S.. We get taken advantage of by most countries and get little in return.

Too bad we can't kick fat boy and his diplomats out of the U.S. but because of the U.N. we have to to let them stay and allow them to live rich lives while their fellow countrymen and women suffer greatly.

Why Would You Think This Good Idea?

From Fire Rescue 1: Firefighters in Germany warned against the dangers of sticking sensitive body parts in gym weights after they spent three hours removing a man’s penis from one.

FOX LA reported that firefighters were called to the hospital to help a man whose penis was stuck in the hole of a 5.5 pound weight at a gym. They broke the weight into five parts with a grinder, a vibrating saw and a hydraulic device over a three-hour span in order to set the man free.

The fire department posted a photo of the demolished gym weight on Facebook, calling it a “curious training accident.”

They used the photo to not only highlight how delicate their firefighters can be, but it also came with a warning: “Please do not imitate such actions!” https://www.firerescue1.com/international-firefighting/articles/323952018-German-firefighters-cut-through-weight-to-free-mans-penis/

Why would this moron want to put his mini manhood in the weight?

Penis envy?

He comes from the City of Worms?

And then to have to call the fire department?  How embarrassing is that to their pride?

Thank You Motel 6...Never Mind

In Phoenix the local Motel 6's turned in illegal aliens to the Immigration officers and ICE cops would pay these illegals a visit and eventually deport them.
But when the corporate officials found out they told the local motels to stop. Wimps.
But it gives a new meaning of "We'll leave the light on for you".

Who's Telling The Truth??

From the Chicago Sun Times:President Donald Trump on Thursday disputed top Democrats’ account of a meeting at the White House the night before, tweeting that no agreement had been reached on protecting young immigrants.

Trump tweeted early Thursday, however: “No deal was made last night on DACA. Massive border security would have to be agreed to in exchange for consent. Would be subject to vote.”

He added in a second Tweet: “The WALL, which is already under construction in the form of new renovation of old and existing fences and walls, will continue to be built.”

Though he also followed that with more conciliatory language on the people that a deal would help: “Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really!…..

“…They have been in our country for many years through no fault of their own – brought in by parents at young age. Plus BIG border security”

The top House and Senate Democrats had said Wednesday they had reached agreement with Trump to protect thousands of younger immigrants from deportation and fund some border security enhancements — not including Trump’s long-sought border wall.

The agreement, the latest instance of Trump ditching his own party to make common cause with the opposition, was announced by Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi following a White House dinner that Republican lawmakers weren’t invited to attend. It would enshrine protections for the nearly 800,000 immigrants brought illegally to this country as kids who had benefited from former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program, which provided temporary work permits and shielded recipients from deportation. 

http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/trump-disputes-dem-account-of-meeting-says-no-deal-on-daca-or-wall/

I knowRepublicans are pissed at Trump  for meeting with senile Pelosi and evil Chucky but they have only themselves to blame because they are a do nothing Congress.

As far as who is telling the truth? Trump, Pelosi and Chuck you are liars but Chunky and Pelosi are just vile and mean people without a conscious or soul. My bet would be that Trump’s  version is more accurate.
Update: Yep, Chucky and Senile Pelosi have changed their story...in otherwords, they lied.

Maybe God Is Telling Me Something?

About 6 months ago we shut down our cable due finances.  Since we live in a rural area we could not get over the air TV either.
Now, the family is doing better we ordered cable, internet and wifi from Suddenlink.
And this how the installation has gone:
On Friday the man came out but we had storms in the area but we felt the storms were far enough away. Nope, wrong conclusion. As soon as the guy touched the ladder a bolt of lightening struck across the street, about 100 feet away.  So much for installation because it stormed all night and we had worse flooding than most of Florida during their hurricane.
So, the next available time was Tuesday.
The Suddenlink truck pulled and out waddled a man who was quite fat. The guy was so out of shape he got very winded just walking to the back of the house and he could barely climb 4 small stairs to inside. He was in distress and I had asked him several times if he was ok.  After about 20 minutes the guy just walked off the job.
Needless to say, we were pissed.  We called Suddenlink and the man's supervisor and he gave 1 excuse to Suddenlink and a different excuse to his supervisor.  Suddenlink also promised to send someone out laterin the day but no one showed up and no phone to tell us no one was coming.
Suddenlink is supposed to come at 8 tomorrow, which sucks for those work the night shift.
So, with all these issues, is someone trying to tell us something...maybe we don't need TV?  I certainly don't miss the news shows and I enjoyed reading about 100 books from the library.
If Suddenlink screws up again, screw them and we will get service elsewhere.

Bye Bye Danica

Danica Patrick, arguably the worst NASCAR driver is looking for a new ride because she was dumped by Stewart-Hass racing for lack of sponsorship.
From ESPN:  Danica Patrick won't return to Stewart-Haas Racing next season, possibly ending her racing career after five years as a full-time NASCAR Cup driver.

The 35-year-old Patrick has seven top-10s in 180 career starts. She has driven for Stewart-Haas Racing throughout her entire NASCAR career, and while her contract originally ran through 2018, the team did not have an anchor sponsor for her for next year. Nature's Bakery ended its three-year deal after one season following the 2016 season....

Patrick has struggled this year and sits 28th in the standings, which would be the worst of her NASCAR Cup career. She has repeatedly said that she is financially secure enough that she does not have to race, and it wouldn't be worth doing if it made her miserable.

"I want to continue racing if I have an opportunity to do well," Patrick said Aug. 16. "I have no interest, as I've said for years now, to run 20-25th. That's not fun. "If I don't feel like I can have the opportunity to move on from there and have a better opportunity, then honestly, I don't care [about racing] just bjustecause it's not fun. I don't drive because I love the thrill of getting sideways."

http://www.espn.com/racing/nascar/cup/story/_/id/20684854/danica-patrick-return-stewart-haas-racing-2018tk
Danica says she doesn't want to be in a 20-25th place car but she is in $8th in points, she is doing worse than those underfunded cars.
She was given top notch equipment.  Two of her 3 other teamates have made the Chase and Clint Boyer was very close in getting.
Hopefully, this will not hurt other wonen for trying to get into the Monster NASCAR series.  Sarah Corbett-Ching, a NASCAR drivejustr in smaller series comes to mind as a good female driver who may have the talent to make it to the big leagues.

And Democrats Rejoice

It's Liberation Day for most Democrats today as Hillary Clinton said she no longer run political office.

From the NY Daily News:  Hillary Clinton is done running for office — and her final race still haunts her.

The former presidential candidate on Sunday swore off any future bids for public office as she continued reckoning with her surprise defeat in the election she expected to win.

“I am done with being a candidate,” Clinton said in an interview with “CBS This Morning” to promote her new campaign memoir, “What Happened.”

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/hillary-clinton-run-office-article-1.3484625

Of course, Clinton will be around so she will still be a useful foil for Republicans, so not all the news is good for the Democrats. 

Mother Nature Is Just Playing With Us

This Could Be Good

One of the world's meanest, rotten estate and vile was sold over the weekend.  The New York Daily News was sold to trona inc..
From the News: The New York Daily News, America's Pulitzer Prize-winning tabloid and the city's journalistic heart, has joined a leading national chain of flagship newspapers.
Ending a quarter century as owner of the Daily News, publisher Mortimer B. Zuckerman on Monday sold the print and digital media organization to tronc, a Chicago-based company with ambitions of reengineering the struggling newspaper industry for an electronic future.
Tronc adds The News to a stable of nine daily publications, including, the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune and Baltimore Sun. Its corporate lineage traces to the Tribune Company, The News' longtime owner before Zuckerman....
Instead of playing golf and doing stuff, this is my project: journalism," Ferro told the Chicago Tribune in March 2016. "We all want to do something great in life. Just because you made money, is that what your kids are going to remember you for? Journalism is important to save right now."   
http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/new-york-daily-news-sold-tronc-article-1.3468954
Let's hope the new owners are serious about journalism instead of the crap the Daily News  puts out.
My guess a lot of employees of the news are clapping in their pants and now some may actually be journalists instead of being trash writing thugs.
And let's hope the terrorist  loving cop hating Shaun King is thrown to the street.
Update: tronc bought the scum paper for$1.  tronc got ripped off.

Umm, YesThey Do

Story 1 from the NY Post:  A veteran FDNY captain threw water on the notion that the job of New York’s Bravest is dangerj b-dayous, insisting in a pitch to potential minority recruits that firefighters “do not run into burning buildings.”

Capt. Paul Washington, who launched a landmark racial-discrimination lawsuit against the city, is now getting heat for his “ridiculous” and “insulting” comments last March to a group of young people at Borough of Manhattan Community College.

“Everyone’s afraid — they think they’re going to get hurt or killed,” Washington said in his presentation. “We do not run into burning buildings. We do not run into burning buildings.”

His audience laughed.

Washington explained: “You see a fire, you see smoke coming out of the window. The whole building is not on fire, all right? There’s one apartment in that building that’s on fire. In fact, there’s probably one room in that one apartment that’s on fire.”

http://nypost.com/2017/08/27/fdny-captain-claims-firefighters-do-not-run-into-burning-buildings/I

And this from the NY Daily News:  A desperate Queens mom climbed halfway out of her window, then steeled herself to do the unthinkable — and the unavoidable — drop her baby from the third floor of a burning building, officials said...

Hayden and Lt. Joe Costa of Ladder 137 saw a pregnant woman holding an infant standing behind the mom straddling the window sill. They dashed up the stairs straight to the third floor, where the smoke was thick and black.

I“When I opened the door to her apartment, I heard the scream to my right,” Costa said. “There was zero visibility.”Hayden and Costa each grabbed a baby and raced from the inferno, along with the two terrified moms. hIttp://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/firefighters-rescue-babies-queens-burning-building-astoprticle-1.3468920

Captain Washington is a moron and Hayden and LaCosta are heroes.  Good thing Washington wasn't on that call.

Update On Minneapolis Terrorist Police Officer Shooting

I have been following the terrorist police officer shooting in Minneapolis that occured on July 19th of this year.
The investigators finally decided a month after the shooting it may be a good time to get the terrorist cop and his partner's cell phones.  Of course, there was plenty of time to purge the phones.
From the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:  A judge has approved a search warrant for investigators to examine the smartphones of two Minneapolis police officers in the fatal shooting of an Australian woman last month.

The search warrant application was filed Thursday. It shows that an agent with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension requested permission to download data from the iPhones issued by the Minneapolis Police Department.

The application says the information "may more clearly define" the officers' actions before and after 40-year-old Justine Damond (DAY'-mund) was killed on July 15.

Investigators have said Officer Mohamed Noor shot Damond after she called 911 to report a possible sexual assault near her home.

Noor's partner told investigators a noise startled him just before Damond approached their police SUV. Noor was in the passenger seat and shot Damond through the open driver-side window.

http://m.startribune.com/the-latest-father-mourns-daughter-killed-by-police-officer/439953673/jib

Why did they even have to go to court.  It was the police department's phones?

I am a big supporter of the cops 99% of the time but this is the 1%.

You have a cop who shoots across his partner to kill an unarmed white woman.

The fact the cop is a muslim has to play into this as there terrorist attacks against muslims in Europe at the time of the cop shooting.

And it seems that liberal Minneapolis is trying to cover it up.

Sweden's Preident Is Trump?

The left will find a way to blame President Trump.
From the NY Daily News:  A 106-year-old Afghan woman who made a perilous journey to Europe, carried by her son and grandson juicethrough mountains, deserts and forests, is facing deportation from Sweden after her asylum application was rejected.
Bibihal Uzbeki is severely disabled and can barely speak. Her family has appealed the rejection.
Their journey made headlines in 2015, when they were part of a huge influx of people who came to Europe from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries. They traveled by foot and on trains through the Balkans before finally reaching Sweden.
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/106-year-old-afghan-woman-faces-deportation-sweden-article-1.3468096
My gueseys it has to do more with her family instead of her.
And they thought President Trump was heartless.

A Question For The Illegal Dreamers

President Trump apparently has decided to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, DACA or the illegal amnesty presidential order by ex-president Obama.
So, my question is this:
How many of these dreamers have applied for U.S. citizenship and how many are leaching off of taxpayers?
Just wondering.

He Took Burning Man Literally

From the Reno Gazette Journal: The Pershing County Sheriff's Office said the man who died running into flames at Burning Man is 41-year-old Aaron Joel Mitchell.
Mitchell broke through a security perimeter to get to the Burning Man effigy as it was on fire. 
He was rescued by on-site fire personnel and transported by air to UC Davis. 
He was pronounced dead at 6:28 a.m. and his family has been notified.
MItchell was not under the influence of alcohol. A toxicology screening is pending. http://www.rgj.com/story/life/arts/burning-man/2017/09/03/man-runs-flames-during-burning-man-airlifted-burn-treatment-center/6j29576001/
We have a potential Darwin Award nominee.
Bravo to the firefighters who saved this fool from being a crispy critter.
For those who don't know, Burning Man is about r
40,000 rich hippies gather in a Northern Nevada desert and at the end of festivalb they burn about a 70 foot high wooden man, thus the name Burning Man.

That's Not A Basketball Score

From the Great Falls Tribune: Rocky Boy’s Kordell Small threw a 10-yard touchdown pass in overtime and the Stars added the extra point run to close out a dramatic 98-96 victory over Hays-Lodgepole Saturday in an amazing Northern C football game.
Small threw eight touchdown passes and also ran for two scores for Rocky Boy. Kade Galbavy caught four TD passes and ran for another score.

These are 2 primarily Indian schools in Northern Montana.
If you never saw 8 man football before it's a sight to watch.  The  schools aremostly rural schools and it's players areusually just as good as their big city counterparts.

6 Years For This?

Seems like an over reach by the Feds.
From Kentucky.com: An Amish man was sentenced Friday to six years in prison for obstructing a federal agency and for making and selling herbal health products that were not adequately labeled as required by federal law.

Samuel A. Girod of Bath County, a member of the Old Order Amish faith, was convicted in March on 13 charges, including threatening a person in an attempt to stop him from providing information to a grand jury.

U.S. District Judge Danny Reeves repeatedly asked Girod in court if he wished to make a statement but Girod refused. Girod, who represented himself, does not acknowledge that the court has jurisdiction.

“I do not waive my immunity to this court,” Girod told the judge. “I do not consent.”

Girod has become a cause for some who see him as a victim of the federal government. More than 27,000 people have signed an online petition seeking to have him released from jail. About 75 supporters of Girod, including many Amish, gathered near the federal courthouse on Barr Street in downtown Lexington before and after the sentencing...

Girod operated a business in Bath County that made products to be used for skin disorders, sinus infections and cancer.

One product called TO-MOR-GONE contained an extract of bloodroot that had a caustic, corrosive effect on human skin, according to an indictment.

A federal court in Missouri had barred Girod from distributing the products until he met certain conditions, including letting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspect his business. But when two agents tried to inspect the plant in November 2013, Girod and others blocked them and made them leave, the indictment charged.

Federal prosecutors said in a sentencing memorandum that Girod knowingly and intentionally sold misbranded products to customers and did not tell any of them about the injunction.

So, is nation any safer with this Amish man in prision?
Yes, he pissed off an arrogant judge, EPA and prosecutors and they their anger out on him.
Was anybody actually hurt using his products?  Nope.
And he gets 6 years?  That is a sentence that someone who is violent should get.

Food For Thought

From a post on Facebook:
Am I the only one who is tired of being blamedfor shit that didn't even happen in my lifetime? Just because I'm white? I also have Germans in my family tree. Why not blame me for the Holocaust. I have English and Irish in me too and they hated each other for years so I guess that cancels it out. Does racism still exist? Sadly, yes. Because of ignorance. Or sometimes just stupid, blind hate. But if you are blaming or hating me cuz I am white? That makes you a racist. Racism isn't special for any one race. People hate Jews. Some men hate women. Some women hate men. The Catholics and Protestants killed each other over "faith".
 It's not what God wants for us. We are all his children. He must be so proud of his children...that's sarcasm. Before you start planning your angry response to this...I love most everyone. I have a problem with greedy, selfish, narcissistic people. I don't like liars or cheaters. I stay away from them. And when I have to deal with them I remind myself that if Christ didn't judge the sinners..who am I to make that call. God will sort it out when it's their time.

Chicago Is Pathetic

No one really talks about all the murders in Chicago.
Hopefully, this will put things in perspective.
As of today, Chicago has had 465 murders.  http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicago/homicides
Acapulco, Mexico, the deadliest city in Mexico has had 483 murders.  http://www.sacbee.com/news/nation-world/world/article170289047.html
Mexico is considered to be almost a 3rd world country with drug wars everywhere.
Chicago has had almost as many homicides as the deadliest city in Mexico.
And we don't talk about it, especially the liberals and ex-president Obama that calls Chicago his hometown, even though he lives in Washington D.C. now.
And this being a long hot weekend, the numbers will go up.
Pathetic.

Was This Appropriate?

From the LVRJ: A helicopter carrying a Utah police dog with a gunshot wound briefly shut down traffic in the southwest Las Vegas Valley Wednesday morning when it landed outside a veterinary emergency clinic.
The helicopter was carrying a canine for the Washington County Sheriff’s Office that was shot Tuesday night, Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Jay Rivera said. Tropicana Avenue was closed for about two blocks west of Durango Drive while the helicopter landed on the street outside the Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center.The dog, a Washington County sheriff’s office canine named Tess, was shot in the jaw in Santa Clara, Utah, after a carjacking incident Tuesday night, the St. George News reported. The person who shot Tess was also shot by police, according to the news report. His condition is unknown.The Washington County Sheriff’s Office posted on Twitter about 2:40 p.m. that K9 officer Tess is out of surgery and is heading home to Utah.  https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-las-vegas/airlift-of-wounded-utah-police-dog-stops-traffic-in-las-vegas-video/
I like dogs, I have several at home and I like the cops.
But is it appropriate to helicopter a K-9 police dog at least 100 miles for a wound to the jaw and the dog went home the same day?
Would the cops do the same thing for a human, if they were shot in the jaw but were not in bad shape?
Did they airlift the thug who got shot?  The article doesn't say.
I'm thinking this was not appropriate, a waste of taxpayer money and taking the helicopter out service for several hours.

Why Lawyers Are Scum Of The Earth

From AZ Central: More than 150 people rallied outside the Sandra Day O’Connor United States Courthouse Tuesday afternoon to protest President Donald Trump’s pardon of former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

The protest was mostly composed of current and former judges and lawyers — even a Republican former attorney general.

The attorneys took issue at Tuesday's rally, the idea of corporate attorney Bill Hardin from the law firm Osborn Maledon.

“I was just angry and frustrated and felt involuntarily complicit in a bad thing,” he toldThe Arizona Republic. He said he felt that he and other attorneys should have “pushed back” more during Arpaio’s tenure.

“We believe in the system, and when the system doesn’t work, we have to say something,” he said.

So Hardin put a post on Facebook Sunday, asking attorneys to come to the courthouse on their lunch hour Tuesday.  http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2017/08/29/we-believe-system-attorneys-stage-lunchtime-protest-trumps-pardon-joe-arpaio/614274001/

If these fool uneducated lawyers actually knew the law, they would know that President Trump had every legal and moral right to pardon Sheriff Joe.

Where were these fool lawyers when Sheriff Joe was charged just before an election?

Where these brain dead lawyers when Sheriff Joe was being railroaded by an Obama appointed judge?

In honor of these moron lawyers:

 Q: What do you call 5000 dead lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? 
A: A good start! 

2. Q: How can you tell when a lawyer is lying? 
A: His lips are moving. 

3. Q: What's the difference between a dead skunk in the road and a dead lawyer in the road? 
A: There are skid marks in front of the skunk. 

4. Q: Why won't sharks attack lawyers? 
A: Professional courtesy. 

5. Q: What do have when a lawyer is buried up to his neck in sand? 
A: Not enough sand. 

6. Q. What do you buy a friend graduating from Law School? 
A. A Lobotomy. 

7. Q. How do you save five drowning lawyers? 
A. Who cares? 

8. Q. What do you call a block of cement containing ten lawyers? 
A. A waste of cement. 

9. Q: How do you stop a lawyer from drowning? 
A1: Shoot him before he hits the water. 
A2: Take your foot off his head. 
A3: No? Good! 

10. Q: How do you get a lawyer out of a tree? 
A: Cut the rope. 

One Way To Get Rid Of ObamaCare

If Republicans were smart and most are not, there is an easy way  to get rid of ObamaCare.
There will be a spending bill to help the folks down in Texas due to Hurricane Harvey.
The GOP should tie repealing ObamaCare to the Hurricane Harvey spending bill and dare the Democrats to vote against the bill.
And if the Democrats do vote against the Hurricane Harvey bill, the GOP should use it against the Democrats and say the Democrats hate Texas  (which I am sure many do anyways)
So, there is a way to repeal Obamacare if the GOP were smart and tough.
But sadly, most of the GOP are neither...smart or tough.

Liberal Terrorists Strike Again

Let's face if you are a liberal you either are a terrorist or support liberal terrorists.
Today is another example of liberal rerrorism.
From Fox News:  Protesters from the poles of the U.S. political spectrum converged on another American city Sunday as violence erupted when left-wing protesters surrounded and attacked at least five right-wing demonstrators in Berkeley.
The group of more than 100 hooded protesters, with shields emblazoned with the words “no hate” and waving a flag identifying themselves as anarchists, busted through police lines, avoiding security checks by officers to take away possible weapons.   http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/08/27/5-assaulted-at-berkeley-protests-as-black-clad-anarchists-storm-rightwning-rally.html
If you are a liberal, you are naturally a hateful person and since President Trump was elected we have seen the true liberal side of hate.  
Liberals hate conservatives, hate minorities (oh yes, look at the liberal playbook- full of policies that hurt minorities and minority communities), hate the poor and others.
But librrals do love Jewish haters, abortion proviers, membets of the KKK and liberal terrorist groups like antifa and black lives don't matter.
Finally, anybody else get the irony that liberal thugs had "no hate" on their weapons when they were the ones full of hate?

Poor Timing, GEICO

I don't think yhere is a better company with funny commercials than GEICO insurance.
But I was having a beer a local bar this afternoon while watching sports.
The bar had a country music station playong in the background when a commetcial came on for GEICO.
The commercial had the charactet "Water" calling a homeowner to apologize for flooding the home's 1st floor, presumably from a broken pipe or a flooded bathtub.
In light of the flooding in Texas, mostly in the Houston, I guess "Water" will be doing a lot of apologizing on behalf of GEICO.

Karma

From Yahoo News:  https://www.yahoo.com/news/bull-wounds-anti-bullfighting-activist-french-arena-205523160.htmlhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/bull-wounds-anti-bullfighting-activist-french-arena-205523160.html
Personally,  I think bull fighting is barbaric but I also did not live or grow up in areas that have bull fighting.
But the baby bull obviously didn't want the trespassers help.

Sheriff Joe Gets A Pardon

Another great move by PresidentTrump.
From Trust.org:  U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday granted a pardon to former Arizona lawman and political ally Joe Arpaio, the self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff in America," less than a month after he was convicted of criminal contempt in a case involving his department.
Http://news.trust.org/item/20170826001249-riciv
Sheriff Joe was a victim of a corrupt Obama justice department and was harassed by a corrupt judge.
President Trump did the right thing and Sheriff Joe says he will name names next week. I hope he does.

Again?!

From the NY Daily News: A U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer collided with a merchant vessel near Singapore, the Navy said.
The USS John S. McCain collided with the Alnic MC vessel while traveling to Singapore around 6:24 a.m. local time Monday, the agency said in a statement.
Ten sailors are missing and five are injured, the Navy said. 
Initial reports indicated that the warship had damages to its port side aft, according to the statement. 
Search crews were underway, the Navy said.
President Trump responded to news of USS John S. McCain's collision saying, "that's too bad," according to pool reports, Kaitlan Collins reported on Twitter. 
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/uss-john-mccain-collides-merchant-vessel-singapore-article-1.3428116
This is the 2nd major collision between a US Navy ship and a merchant vessel in Asia in the past month

Time To Get Rid Of Jeff the Flake

In Arizona, we have at least 3 embarrassing congressman:
Paul Gosar who had the nerve to have a political commercial run during a memorial service for K-9 Amigo, a police dog who died in the line of duty. (http://lasvegasbadger.blogspot.com/2016/08/update-k-p-amigo-and-pathetic-paul-gosar.html?m=1)
John McCain who is a cranky old bastard that loves war and hates conservatives.
And Jeff Flakes who pretends he is conservative to get elected but in reality is anti-conservative and a President Trump hater.
I can't do anything  about the first 2 idiots but Jeff Flakes is up for reelection and he has a true conservative as a primary opponent. 
From the Kingman Daily Miner: Emboldened this week by the endorsement of President Donald Trump, Kelli Ward had strong words for first-term U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake.

Ward announced her intention to challenge Flake in 2018, most recently criticizing the senator’s opposition to Trump policies, including the rejection of Muslim immigrants into the U.S. and the president’s policies on border issues.

According to Ward, her 2018 opponent has offered only obstruction to Trump’s goals and a half-hearted effort to serve the conservative interests of Arizonans.

“He’s weak on immigration,” Ward said. “He’s weak on the border. He wants to reward people who are here illegally, and continue his ‘Gang of Eight’ policy of amnesty. I think it’s appalling that one-fifteenth of the people who immigrate to the U.S. come without work skills. Flake has excused gang members, prostitutes and even people who have previously been deported. We need law and order. We need to stop the madness on our border, and Flake is too weak to do that.”

Trump on Thursday extended his support to Ward via Twitter: “Great to see that Dr. Kelli Ward is running against Flake. Jeff Flake, who is WEAK on borders, crime and a non-factor in Senate. He’s toxic!” http://m.kdminer.com/news/2017/aug/20/war-words-heats-ward-touts-trump-tweet/
Dr. Kelli Ward is a great conservative who fits Arizona conservative state University like Flake who is more in line with New York liberals. Flake just wants to get along with the liberal press while Ward would rather take them on.  She has more balls than Flake will ever have.
Go Dr. Kelli Ward.

Another Liberal Idiot Heard From

Former Wisconsin U.S. senator always has been been a rich pompous pig whose policies were always wrong and stupid.
And now, Feingold has gone off the deep end needs to be institutionali zed.
From Madison.com: Russ Feingold accuses Republicans of de facto endorsement of white supremacy:Alan Hovorka of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports: Former Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) issued a rebuke of Republicans and the party's agenda in a Saturday opinion piece in The Guardian, accusing the party of doing the bidding of white supremacists. In the essay, Feingold blasts Republicans for what he sees as a feigned outrage against President Donald Trump's comments last week following the violent protests in Charlottesville, Va., that left one person dead and dozens injured. "In the wake of last weekend’s horror and tragedy, let us finally, finally rip off the veneer that Trump’s affinity for white supremacy is distinct from the Republican agenda of voter suppression, renewed mass incarceration and the expulsion of immigrants," Feingold wrote in The Guardian. http://host.madison.com/ct/news/local/roundup/morning-briefing-russ-feingold-accuses-republicans-of-de-facto-endorsement/article_9591bbae-85b4-11e7-b787-af9a48400567.html
Feingold and his liberal policies have done far more damage to inner city minorities than President Trump could ever dreamed of doing. 
From the war against school choice, his radical approach to abortion (Feingold thinks it is ok to kill babies after they are born), to his failed economic ideas and his support of criminals over the police has hurt far more minorities than the modern version of the KKK.  Feingold has actually hurt minorities while the modern KKK talk stupidily loud, pretend they are thugs and fight like fools.
Feingold hasn't had a real job almost his entire life and never worked in poor neighborhoods, unlike many conservatives like myself who spend decades working with inner city youth.
Feingold can just go to hell and is very close to actually being there.  In the meantime, there is a cell for him at the Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison, where they treat the criminally insane.

You Would Think The First 16 Times Would Be Enough

If you don't first succeed, then try, try, try,try,try, try,try....again
From the OrlandoSentinel:  An alleged drunken driver had some trouble parking his SUV early this morning.

Florida Highway Patrol troopers say 25-year-old Tony Futch hit 17 cars while trying to park his blue Chevrolet Blazer in an apartment complex in Osceola County.

Around 4 a.m., Futch rammed through the gate of the Gate Condominium complex at 1550 Calder Blvd., off of Osceola Polk Line Road near Interstate 4 in Davenport.According to the arrest report, Futch drove in circles and when he came near the exit of the residence’s parking lot, he crashed against multiple vehicles to his right. He drove around the roundabout, went straight and hit another car to his right.

He made three other turns and hit a number of parked cars before approaching a parking spot, where he hit two more cars.

Osceola deputies pepper-sprayed Futch because he became “combative” as he was being detained. The report says he told authorities “I’ll tell you everything I did, I will tell you anything you want.”

Futch — whose breath smelled of alcohol — refused to provide a breath sample. He was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving by the FHP and faces an additional charge from Osceola County for resisting arrest. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/breaking-news/os-driver-hits-cars-parking-20170818-story.html

Just wondering why he didn't get charged with hit and run.

The War On Cops Continues

From Fox News: Three people were in custody Friday night, including a “strong suspect,” after one police officer was fatally shot and another suffered grave injuries in Kissimmee, Fla., south of Orlando...

The two officers were in the area of Palmway and Cypress, checking out a report of a suspicious person at approximately 9:27 p.m. Soon afterward, a 9-1-1 call came in, saying the officers had been shot, O’Dell said.

The area is known for high drug activity, the chief said.

O’Dell said the officers did not return fire, and it appears they were “surprised.” ....

Also on Friday night, two police officers were shot in Jacksonville, Fla., and two state troopers were shot in Pennsylvania.

 http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/08/19/total-6-officers-shot-in-florida-pennsylvania.html

It's sad to say, but in some communities, policeofficer's lives really don't matte.
