RECCE ROOM

A person whose only redeeming quality was that she was cute 20 years ago is angry that gun control bills failed in the Senate. But, let's consider this argument based on the merits of the argument, and the reliability of the testimony. Gun control doesn't work and that's been documented here and other places countless times, so the argument is without merit in itself. So, for the sake of fun, let's evaluate the credibility of the source of the statement: Contradicting actions One of this person's first acting gigs was in the movie Commando... which had plenty of guns. Evidently, guns are ok for her, but not the commoners. Psychological instability Of course, shortly after she turned 18, she tried desperately to shed her "good girl" image by performing naked in several movies. Like any other headcase, she sued when she found pictures of those nude scenes  online . She married for less than a year in 1999. Yeah, that shows stability and good judgment. ...

This article  was floating around the Internet a few weeks ago. Reality check - I traveled to Philadelphia to better understand the firepower of military-style assault weapons and, hopefully, explain their appeal to gun lovers. But mostly, I was just terrified. Good Lord, imagine if you had seen military style pants! ----- It felt to me like a bazooka — and sounded like a cannon. No, it didn’t. My 8 year old daughter shoots them regularly without issue. ----- Very easy. In fact, as Philadelphia Daily News columnist Helen Ubinas showed today, you can get a military-styled weapon in seven minutes in this country. And you can get "military-styled" pants in 5 minutes. But that doesn't make you a killer any more or any less. ----- The recoil bruised my shoulder. No, it didnt. ----- The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. I imagine you also get "disoriented" when watching a commercial on TV, too. ----- The smell of sulfur...

Note: for today's entry, use the ALPHA - BETA dichotomy model from Heartiste. This article  from Everyday Feminism caught my eye on Facebook a few weeks ago. Titled The real Reason Women Smile At Men Who Harass Us . The author gives example after example of things she says have happened to her, and how smiling and engaging with men who harass her has been her way of escaping unharmed. It didn't all happen like that In reality, it is highly unlikely all these things have happened to her. More likely is that the author has gleaned individual anecdotes from multiple sources and fit them within her own narrative. Blame game The author blames men who advise her to just ignore the harassment because they haven't lived the harassment. In fact, her tone toward these men is downright bitchy. She hates them because they are the BETAS in her life that she desperately wishes would act like real men. Drunk behavior Now, it is entirely possible that some drunk might catcall a ...

It has been released that during the Orlando shooting, police were ordered to  stand down  for at least 15 - 20 minutes. Let that sink in. Let it sink in deep. Takeaways: When seconds count, police are only minutes away. Often used, but so very true. And add to that - police are only minutes away, after they've been told to stand down for 15-20 minutes, first. The police are under no obligation to protect you. The liberal argument that only military / police should have "assault-style" weapons is proven false here (yet again). Because police are not required to protect you, and because they will take too long to get there, and because they may be ordered to wait even longer or stand down altogether. Was there a conspiracy here? Guy gets taken off watch lists. Police get told to stand down. Too many other variables that make one wonder. Posted via Blogaway

Recently, a shooter entered an Orlando gay bar and opened fire, killing 50 and wounding at least that many more. This shooter was a   registered Democrat.  he was also Muslim (no surprise there). My friend, Lefty, points out who   will blame whom. This made me think... why do Democrats hate gays? Conservatives and right wingers generally leave gay folks alone and let them live their lives as they wish. Democrats actively seek to make gays lives harder. We all know that Democrats are the ones pushing for more "refugees." These people are militant Islamists who wish to kill gays. See above story for proof! Many major Democrats, including their presumptive   Presidential Candidate,  were against gay marriage before they were for it. You cannot trust their opinions on the topic. And let's face it, the only reason a person will lie to another is because they don't care about that person. Speaking of marriage, why did Democrats champion gay marriage? Civil uni...

A reader of   yesterday's article  asked me to elaborate on my punishment model, so here it is. Ask - Tell - Yell - Electric Fence  The only reasons children do anything is because either A ) you taught them to do it, or B ) you allow them to do it. Children instinctively seek to push limits. This is so that they can learn what is and is not acceptable. When they learn this, they feel more secure. Ask Ask the child to comply with your request. Use the word "please." After all, it is a parent's job to teach a child how to function socially. Good manners is a part of that. Always start with this step, unless life or limb is hanging in the balance. Do not ask the child more than once. Make sure the child heard the request. If a child refuses to comply, you must decide NOW what the next course of action  will be. If the request is of no major concern, then do it yourself or be satisfied that it will not be done. If the child needs to comply, then you must decide ...
