So yet another lunatic with a gun has killed two people in Virginia, on live TV this time no less. And, as they usually do, the shooter killed himself before the police could catch up with him. Somehow I have a hard time deciding which is more cowardly, shooting unarmed people from ambush or killing yourself before you have to stand trial. Either way, we all have to prepare ourselves for the inevitable outcry from the liberal news media and the loonies in the liberal left who will once again be calling for the banning of all guns. To me, this is the epitome of stupidity and lunacy in its highest form. You would think that anyone with an ounce of intelligence would realize that banning the tool of the crime is in no fuckin' way going to prevent the crime from happening again. In Britain, for instance, private ownership of firearms is outlawed "for the public's safety," yet violent crime in that nation continues to climb. And on top of that the newest wrinkle in that nation is for people to arm themselves with knives and go on a killing spree. And now, to really make you shake your head in amazement, the Kool-Aid drinking liberals in that country are calling for a "voluntary turn-in" and an eventual ban on - you guessed it - knives. If you want proof positive that gun control doesn't work and that banning a tool instead of holding people accountable doesn't work, look no further than jolly old England.
On the flip side of the coin, the police chief in - of all places - Detroit has called on the people of the city to arm themselves and fight back against violent crime. This man of intelligence realizes a couple of key things that most liberals in this country choose to ignore; first, the police are WAAAAAAY outnumbered and need help; second, the only way to protect yourself is to arm yourself, not throw away your arms and hope that the bad guys do the same because trust me on this, they won't. Of course the liberal left just hates this guy for stating the obvious, and the folks like me on the conservative right love him. The liberals are way too busy slamming the police for all of that alleged "police brutality" going on involving violent thugs like Michael Brown.
And speaking of that, what a nice way to observe the first anniversary of the death of a punk-assed thug killed while attempting to kill a police officer than to riot, burn things down, and start shooting at police. Way to go, Ferguson, you really showed the nation what kind of a class act you really are. Low class, that is, VERY low class.
Meanwhile, in the great stinkhole known as Washington DC the presidential campaign hopes of Billary Clinton continue to unravel as the story of her misuse of e-mail and release of classified material through an unauthorized and insecure e-mail server while she was Secretary of State unfolds. One cannot help but wonder just how fast the NObama administration would have been all over this one had it been a Republican candidate; but no, since this is the great and powerful Billary Clinton, heir apparent to the Clinton Presidential Regime and The Great Savior of Woman and Mankind, everyone in the jester's court is decidedly quiet. In the mean time the mindless minions who think she's the greatest thing since sliced bread are greedily drinking the Kool-Aid she's serving by telling them that it's all nothing but a Republican campaign to discredit her. It just boggles my mind how people will believe that this woman has any integrity at all and can be trusted to any degree. I have never in my entire life seen anyone who I trust less than her, and I can think of no bigger travesty and disaster waiting to happen than for her to be elected President. And the really scary thing is that people are just stupid enough to believe her and vote for her regardless of the facts staring them in the face.
And over in the Republican camp the old school Republicans are having a fit over the brash new kid on the block. All of the politicians in the camp are lining up to take their turn badmouthing Donald Trump, and in doing so all they're doing is proving that they really are just what we think they are - a bunch of gutless politically correct career politicians who will say and do anything to get elected. And that's why I won't vote for any of them.
But Trump, on the other hand, is his own worst enemy. I like his stands on things and admire his balls in speaking his mind, but someone needs to sit the boy down really soon and teach him how to work an audience. He needs to be schooled in the art of saying what's on your mind without alienating half of the people listening; after all, it's not WHAT you say but HOW you say it. I can tell you to go to hell in a way that will have you looking forward to the trip; Trump hasn't learned how to do this yet, and he needs to learn it - FAST. My fear is that in the 15 months until the Republican primary Trump will self-destruct, and that will leave us to choose from one of the professional politicians remaining. I also have a fear that Trump will survive until then, run in the primary and lose, and then run as an independent. This will take just enough votes away from the Republican candidate to just about ensure a Democratic victory in the general election, and I wouldn't at all be surprised if that puts Billary Clinton in the White House. (Remember, you have legions of people who will vote for her just because she's a woman, just as they voted for NObama because he was black.) Right now the Democrats are sitting back and enjoying the show in the Republican camp while the NObama administration ignores the crimes being committed by its heir apparent, Billary Clinton; the Republicans need to get their act together NOW if they want to save this great nation of ours. The absolute WORST thing that could ever happen to this country is for Billary Clinton to get elected. If you think NObama was bad, just wait until this bitch gets in the Oval Office.
Speaking of lunacy in its highest form, am I the only one who thinks that letting Iran provide its own inspectors for the nuclear treaty inspection team is an insanely BAD idea? Like, they'd NEVER lie to us or falsify an inspection report, right? The only thing that's worse than this is accepting it as a good idea, and of course The Buffoon In Chief and his band of merry idiots just love the idea. One more reason why I can't wait until this incompetent moron is the FORMER President.
On a positive note, I woke up this morning with everything still working, a wife who loves me, three dogs who think I'm the best thing on two legs (next to my wife, of course), a family who loves me, a truck that runs and a job that pays my bills, so life is good! With all its trials, tribulations, aggravations, tragedy and drama, this world of ours is still a pretty fantastic place to be and I thank The Great Architect of the Universe (or The Big Biker as I like to call him) for allowing me to stay here for another day. As the old song "Signs" by "The Five Man Electrical Band" goes, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me, I'm alive and doin' fine!"
Deo Vindice.
