Outrageous!

Two days before an assassination attempt on Republicans, the NRA posted a video on Facebook warning of leftist violence. Progressive journalists are now pretending political violence is the NRA's fault.

Seems to me as though the one-minute ad is absolutely correct. From what I've seen in Portland, Oregon, all of the violence has been coming from the Left. Apparently, they can't handle the truth. USA Today and other media claim that the ad "declares war on liberals".

Quite the opposite; the rabid Left has declared war on law-abiding citizens. And they're "outraged" when that fact is publicized? They are truly deranged.

 

Lithium-Ion Lawsuit

Hey, did you buy anything that uses Li-Ion batteries between 2000 and 2011? Did you buy replacement batteries during that period? If you did either, you may be able to get some cash back:

Several battery makers agreed to the $45 million settlement to end a lawsuit that claimed they conspired to fix the price of those lithium-ion batteries for more than ten years. The devices include laptops, notebook computers, cell phones, tablets, camcorders and cordless power tools. 

You don't have to provide receipts to prove you bought them; just go here.

I bought a couple of backup batteries for my power tools, along with some other stuff, so hey.

 

 

Merkley Fear-Mongers

I got a note from his office; the salient point being this one:

The politicians angling to dismantle our health care system want you to stop paying attention.

Um. Jerkley and his pals already dismantled our health-care system; they replaced it with the imploding Obamacare. He and his fellow Democratics also decided that full-time employment is now 30 hours a week, rather than 40, and they also required everyone over age 26 to purchase a government-approved product or pay a penalty come tax-time. Next thing you know, these clowns will require you to buy a government-approved "Smartcar", or maybe require you to buy at least 20 pounds of broccoli a month.

Maybe Democratics should quit dictating business and consumer terms of transactions.

Common-Sense Gun Control

The U.K. has them, and for the most part they've been very effective in ensuring that citizens by and large don't have such weapons. So criminals have turned to alternatives, and one growing in favor among that class appears to be acids.

He said that in recent years the UK had seen around 400 acid attacks a year, but that the real figure could be double that because the attacks were intended to intimidate victims into silence.

An attack on the first day of summer this year was directed at this woman and her cousin, who were out celebrating her 21st birthday.

Her left eye has sustained damage, among other disfigurement to her body. A student, she hoped to go into business management.

That goal appears in question, at this point. As for her cousin, he was placed into an induced coma in order to treat his extensive injuries. Gun control? Thugs are nothing if not inventive.

But gun control might be useful here in Portland, as Wednesday night a Taco Bell in northeast was the scene of a spicy hot offering:

Gunfire damaged several vehicles, including a TriMet bus Wednesday night near Northeast Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Lombard Street, Portland police said.

Officers found evidence of gunfire in the parking lot of Taco Bell, located on the southwest corner of the intersection, police said. Witnesses told police a suspect appeared to be shooting at a person in a car but struck the bus instead.

It's unclear if the perps are making a run for the border, but it is clear that they couldn't hit the broad side of a restaurant.

Those idiot gangsters don't even aim; they just point a gun in a general direction and pull the trigger.

Hard Times In The U.K.

Out Of Order

Finding a restroom door locked, employees at an Oklahoma Walmart placed an "Out of order" sign on it. That's how things stood through the weekend. On Monday, they unlocked the door and found the body of a 29 year-old woman. Police are presently unsure as to how long she'd been in there, but Walmart might want to up its restroom-cleaning game.

Speaking of things being out of order, a woman in Colorado Springs pulled into her garage on Tuesday - and found a black bear in there. Despite the fact that the garage door was now open and a car had been driven in, the bear was in no great hurry to exit. She honked the horn a few times and yelled at it, and it eventually ambled out.

Obviously, it's acclimated to the neighborhood.

Neutered

This is the hot new look for guys next year, according to the "trend-setters" in the latest Paris fashion show. Really, so-called men wandering around in skirts. I guess wearing the getups at the fashion show helps them pay their bills, but then, some people will do anything, no matter how demeaning, if there's money involved.

Reminds me of the denizens of the Capital city in "The Hunger Games".

Nothing shouts manliness like these outfits.

What Voter Fraud?

Oh...that voter fraud:

HARRISONBURG, Va. — A man paid to register Virginia voters prior to the 2016 Presidential Election will spend at least 100 days in prison for submitting the names of deceased individuals to the Registrar’s Office.

James Madison University student Andrew J. Spieles, 21, of Harrisonburg, pled guilty Monday in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. As part of the plea agreement, Spieles agreed to a prison sentence of 100 to 120 days.

Spieles worked for Harrisonburg Votes when he committed the crime, according to acting United States Attorney Rick A. Mountcastle.

Harrisonburg Votes is a political organization affiliated with the Democratic Party.

What's with this nonsense? Everybody knows that voter ID disenfranchises minority voters, so it only makes sense to ensure that dead people aren't similarly disenfranchised from their right to vote Democratic. They've been doing it in Chicago for years with great success. It's like recycling, in a sense.

The Hunger Games

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has had about enough of this, so they hope to start culling sea lions at Willamette Falls next spring. They've tried hazing the mammals for the past decade, with little success. So now they want to go with removal. Wish them luck!

Ah-Woo! Meth-Heads In Portland

A woman in a stolen car rammed a police car and drove away after officers attempted to box her in with their cars in downtown Portland on Wednesday, police said.

They later found the empty car and shortly thereafter located her, hiding in a dumpster.

Must have been the nice weather here; the crazed meth-heads were especially active. The above incident occurred at around 4 p.m.

This one happened less than an hour later:

A man was electrocuted on power lines in Southeast Portland after he climbed a utility pole Wednesday evening, Portland police said.

He was reportedly pulling on wires up there.

Not only was he electrocuted, he was charred.

We've got way too many folks on meth around here. You can't buy various kinds of cold medicine over the counter here, because former gov. Retread thought that'd keep people from making meth. We can see how well that's been working.

Zombies

National Geographic features a story profiling a Nepalese honey-hunter that incorporates some amazing photos and considerable mysticism. Getting the honey, which is produced by the world's largest honeybees, is a death-defying venture - they nest high in the Himalayan cliffs, and so the hunter climbs 200 feet or more to get to nests.

Why would a guy undertake such a climb, swarmed and stung, for mere honey?

Because it's special honey; hallucinogenic honey. And it sells for eight times as much as regular honey.

One has to be careful not to eat too much of the honey, says Jangi. Two to three teaspoons is usually the correct dose. After about an hour you are overcome with an urgent need to defecate, urinate, and vomit. “After the purge you alternate between light and dark. You can see, and then you can’t see,” says Jangi. “A sound—jam jam jam—pulses in your head, like the beehive. You can’t move, but you’re still completely lucid. The paralysis lasts for a day or so.”

Zombie honey.

And speaking of zombies, Daily Mail presents a look at the opium dens of the USA, noting that they spread from the west coast to the east coast, beginning in San Francisco during the mid-1800s. They were tolerated as long as it was just the Chinese, but when Americans started smoking the stuff, laws were passed and enforcement began.

Reclining on bunk beds while sucking on opium pipes, these haunting photos provide a rare glimpse into life in America's 19th century opium dens that prompted the country's first crackdown on drugs.

One common characteristic of opium dens is the presence of cots, beds, or couches upon which the smoker can recline. These are needed because the smoker develops the nods; a more or less zombie-like state. A 1909 law banned opium in the USA; paving the way for the introduction of a deadlier substitute: heroin.

I once happened across an opium den during an excursion to a Karen hill tribe village in northern Thailand in the 1980s. The village was in an idyllic location, with a waterfall tumbling from the cliff-side. The Karen women produce intricate quilts, one of which to this day graces our home. But the site was within the so-called "Golden Triangle", and in one of the huts were a number of guys lying on cots, smoking opium and stoned out of their gourds. So they still exist, the opium dens.
