This n' That

My sweet neighbor.

One of Cowboy's kills.  My backyard mechanic and the first black I have met who had the moniker. :)




My '68 428, 4 speed Torino which I bought for $1,200 and pulled my trailer across the country and back.
Gladys has been with me for 14 years. As a child  she received the worst spanking of her life here!  Her family lived down the road and her parents would go into the fields each day with strict orders not to leave their home. One day her  parents came back from work and her Father found them playing here. As soon as they saw him they went under the house but were dragged out for punishment. :)









Henry's gifts.

I wonder if Emily, my birth mother, had the same shade of red hair.

He keeps trying but I believe no luck so far.:)  Peacocks never leave their birthplace and his family may well have been here from 1790/1810.

 Spring has sprung as Mother would say.



MSNBC: Handguns Are Too Slow To Stop A School Shooter

For the love of God, can journalists who have never touched a gun please at least watch a couple youtube videos? Take 10 minutes to learn a tiny bit and you won't come off like a complete imbecile on television. Please.
****************************

MSNBC anchors are claiming that teachers armed with handguns would be unable to stop a school shooter because rifles shoot “three times faster.”

Anchor Lawrence O’Donnell said on his show Thursday night that “a bullet fired from an AR-15 travels 3x faster than one from a handgun…and yet the president and the NRA think giving teachers guns will stop a school shooter.”

John McCain Associate Invokes the Fifth to Avoid Testifying on Trump Hoax Dossier

 John McCain Hands Up

David J. Kramer, a former State Department official and longtime associate of John McCain, reportedly invoked the Fifth Amendment to get out of testifying before the House Intelligence Committee regarding the infamous, largely discredited 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump.

FoxNews.com reported:
Kramer, who is a central player in how the unverified Trump dossier made its way to the FBI in late 2016, testified before the committee in December in a closed-door session, indicating he had information about the dossier’s sources. A subpoena was issued for mid-January, as first reported by the Washington Examiner.
The law enforcement source confirmed, however, that Kramer did not appear and has exercised his Fifth Amendment rights.

"Shocked And Outraged": Four Broward Deputies Waited Outside School As Children Were Massacred

Via Jonathan


Coral Springs police officers were "stunned and upset" to learn that four Broward County Sheriff's Deputies were stationed outside the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and had not entered to face an active shooter, sources with the Coral Springs, FL police department told CNN.

As the details behind the Police response to the Valentines Day massacre emerge, it appears that the Coral Springs Police department - which sent 130 officers to the scene - put their lives on the line while Broward County officers simply waited for backup as the scene unfolded, in what some Coral Springs officials perceived to be a derilection of duty.

NC: Help destroy America. Disarm their people.

 Image result for Help destroy America. Disarm their people


I must speak to gun control. Since the object is to protect our kids we should do more. Since kids bully other kids with cell phones until they commit suicide, we should ban cell phones. Since kids drive drunk and kill others or themselves, let’s take away their cars (this would also stop a lot of pregnancies). Since kids also do drugs let’s protect the kids by doing away with all drugs (even if they do some good).

What about lock-downs to save kids? What if the lock-down locks the kids in with the killer? Since it seems to be the kids killing the other kids, we need to lock each child up in a different cell so they can’t get to other kids.

I would also point out that if the four teachers who died protecting our kids had guns, one of them would surely have stopped the killer from killing some of the kids. So, with the reasoning of the kids, they want to be killed because they don’t want a teacher to have a gun, either.

I, like all others, feel much sorrow at the loss to our nation and the families. But disarming honest people isn’t an answer. That is just making a new place where killers can go to kill and no one will stop them. The killers know there are no guns in school so they are safe from us. How about using our brains to protect rather than our fears to make killing harder?

I was the fourth person in Randolph County to get a concealed carry permit. I have never had to pull it out of my pocket, but if I saw a shooter killing others, I would give my life to protect them. But the gun control people do not think about safety. All they want is your guns. They have told the kids that this will help when they only want to use these terrible murderers to get what they want.

Do you know why this nation has never been invaded in modern history? Because there are 150 million people with guns to protect our land. If we are disarmed there would only be 1 million soldiers to protect us and most of them are in other countries.

Help destroy America. Disarm their people.

Domestic Enemies of Freedom

 Global Elitists

Are you willing to spend 10 minutes each day fighting for our constitutional rights and freedoms?
In 1776, our founders declared independence from England and the totalitarian authority of its monarchy.  In victory, the thirteen colonies created a separate nation very different in concept from the European model.  Our Constitution prohibited the granting of titles of nobility and created a central government of limited power, vesting authority instead in the states and their citizens.  The Constitution further empowered individual sovereignty by protecting one’s private property rights, the totality of which included one’s land, home, and possessions, as well as the work of one’s hands, the ideas of one’s mind, and one’s life.

Our Constitution is so critical to our individual freedom that elected officials, military officers, and many others routinely take the following oath:

Government Failed, So ... Limit Americans' Rights?

An armed school resource deputy failed to engage the active school shooter, adding yet another layer to the list.

 On Thursday, the American public learned of yet another failure by government officials related to the Parkland, Florida, school atrocity. Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said that the armed school resource deputy assigned to work security at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School failed to enter the building and engage the attacker. Based on video footage from the school’s security cameras, Israel stated, “What I saw was a deputy arrive at the west side of Building 12, take up a position and never went in.” When asked what the deputy should have done, Israel responded, “Went in and addressed the killer. Killed the killer.”

USCIS now serves 'Americans,' not 'nation of immigrants'

America a "nation of immigrants"? Not anymore. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service has eliminated the phrase from its mission statement, according to an internal memo.

The document, obtained by the Washington Post, also says that those seeking immigration benefits will no longer be called “customers.”

The new mission statement reads:

“U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services administers the nation’s lawful immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently and fairly adjudicating requests for immigration benefits while protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values.”

Reason Broward Sheriff Wants to Take Americans’ Guns

 

A picture is worth a thousand words — and it might be worth a thousand explanations, too.

Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel has found himself in the national spotlight after the tragic school shooting that occurred in his corner of Florida, and the chief law enforcement officer has been looking a bit like a politician while appearing on television to push liberal talking points about gun control.

Too much like a politician, a skeptic might say. After some pundits noticed that a sheriff who should be primarily concerned with enforcing the law has been sounding like he’s reading from the Democrat party phrase book, several photos emerged that may shed some light on Israel’s political leanings.

A photo posted on the sheriff’s official Facebook page from 2015 show Israel warmly interacting with then-candidate Hillary Clinton, a strong liberal and gun control proponent.

The “Kirk-Holden War” in North Carolina (Holden & the Union League)

Holden RS
 Governor William Holden

 
 My great great grandfather, BF Moore The Father Of The NC Bar, words below.

"Holden's impeachment is demanded by a sense of public virtue and due regard to the honor of the state. He is an exceedingly corrupt man and ought to be placed before the people as a public example of a tyrant condemned and punished."
 


Union League

*******************
 
A very stringent anti-Klan law was passed by the North Carolina legislature under the direction of Governor William Holden in January of 1870. This was in response to Radical Republican leadership in Washington. True to Washington Radical Republican despotism, it gave the Governor power to declare counties in a state of insurrection and supersede practically all laws and Constitutional rights in its prosecution. Despite a vigorous attempt to enforce the law, Klan activity increased and a top black activist and leader of the League in Alamance County was found hanging in a tree. 

Shortly thereafter, Senator John Stephens, a ranking white operative for Governor Holden, seeking evidence for Klan prosecutions, visited a Caswell County Union League meeting. There he handed to each of about twenty members a box of matches with the suggestion that they should be put to good use burning barns. Barns were especially important to Southern farmers. Without a barn a family’s livelihood was severely threatened. The next night seven barns, a row of houses, and the tobacco crops of several prominent citizens were burned.

Charlottesville Tarp Wars Heat Up: Southern Avenger Charged Again

 No automatic alt text available.
 

Southern Avenger arrested late last night in Jackson Park in Charlottesville after tarps covering both the Lee and Jackson were removed SIX times over the past two weeks.

Witnesses report 20+ law enforcement officers, including several in street clothes on the scene, who drew their weapons and actually ordered the accused and other bystanders down on the ground before they made the arrest.

All of this to reportedly prevent citizens from removing tarps that were placed illegally in the first place.  It must be a real comfort to Charlottesville citizens to know that their police chief and City Council consider the removal of ILLEGAL tarps the city’s top crime priority, devoting excessive time, manpower, and resources...to protecting tarps.

The Southern Avenger was charged with trespassing... yes, trespassing in a public park... and released on $1,000 bond.

We covered the bond, but many of you have asked how you can help. If you would like to contribute to the fund to help pay the bond, please send your contribution to the Va Flaggers and note:  "Southern Avenger" on the payment. . Any amount above $1,000 raised will go toward legal expenses for his defense. Any amount left after legal defense expenses will be used for Charlottesville heritage defense projects.

The father of a Stoneman Douglas High School student is accusing CNN of specifically seeking out survivors of the shooting who wanted to talk about gun control, bolstering another survivor’s claims that the network tried to plant scripted questions at their Wednesday night town hall.

 Andrew Klein, a Republican gun-owner and the father of Ariana Klein, a junior at Stoneman Douglas, said on Fox News Thursday that he received a call from a CNN producer the day after the shooting last week.

Just When you Thought They Couldn't Go any Lower

Via comment by JWMJR has left a new comment on your post Tucker: CNN's version of 'The Two Minutes Hate


 Do you want to see the very real and frightening
How long until the screams for
summary justice become manifest
as real executions?
evidence of just how far the left has sunk the nation into moral depravity and blood lust? Just look at the video of the way members of the audience shouted "Murderer!" and "Burn her!" at the NRA's Dana Loesch during CNN's town hall meeting yesterday. What made it even more repugnant was that the so called moderator, Jake Tapper, sat there in silence and let it continue.

Why don't we just go ahead and revert to the 15th century and the kind of mass hysteria that drove the Spanish Inquisition or the Salem Witch Trials? Because if we don't want to debate issues and have rational discussions that's the direction we're headed. We have the righteous indignation. All that's missing are the scarlet robes of the Grand Inquisitor and the charges of heresy.


Jake Tapper takes on his new role
as judge, jury and executioner.
It's not Christianity or conservatism or nationalism or American traditionalism or even the 2nd Amendment that has brought us to these depths. It's the left's moral relativism and consistent and constant dismissing and disparaging of those very values that has done it. It They increasingly put on the robes of moral superiority and hold themselves in judgement over any and all who would dare disagree with them. And these people have the gaul to call themselves progressives.

We fly Confederate flags to honor our ancestors

Via Jonathan

This “mega” flag was raised by the Sons of Confederate Veterans off I-95 in Godwin in Cumberland County.

In the past year, our monuments and memorials have become the new targets of dogmatic, left-wing activists who have now moved on from their attacks on Confederate flags. These activists not only wish to erase Confederate heritage or consign it to obscure museums, but also to eliminate all the symbols of American history that they find politically incorrect.

They do not stop with our monuments and flags, but have already begun efforts across the nation to remove symbols honoring historical figures like Washington, Jefferson and Columbus, to alter longstanding names of schools, and even to banish the National Anthem.

The North Carolina Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, officially began the “Flags Across the Carolinas” program in 2015 as a response to increased efforts to eradicate Confederate symbols in North Carolina and across the nation. The program operates in a manner by which private property owners donate, sell, or lease land to the Division, and Confederate flags of various sizes are erected and flown.

... for your school but we have six armed officers who will guard a coward's house 24x7 so he doesn't have to answer questions from the media:
We sent @BrianEntin to BSO Deputy Scot Peterson’s Boynton Beach home to try and talk to him about his resignation today. Were met by 6 @PBCountySheriff deputies standing guard outside his home. They prevented us from approaching the house. pic.twitter.com/1QPlmeHtqb
So, students and parents at Parkland, along with anyone else, let's see if I get this right.

This specific officer knew about Cruz's intentions as he was alerted about a prior call to the Sheriff's Office stating that Cruz intended to shoot up a school -- in 2016.  He did nothing.

When Cruz did shoot up the school said officer cowered outside, despite being armed and able to offer effective resistance to the attack.  He sat outside hiding for four minutes while Cruz slaughtered the kids inside, hearing not only the gunshots but, I'm sure, the screams.
