RECCE ROOM

From a reader: "What are your thoughts on this video ?"  Let's discuss on each topic, as the video has several examples of police getting justice served on them.  First - Cop Plants Evidence On the video, this is from time 0:00 - 4:45. The cop is a defendant as he had many charges of planting evidence against him. I was made aware of this cop about 10 months ago or so from the "Audit The Audit" channel video here . Justice was served, but the penalty was too light, IMO.  Second - Cop Wastes the Court's Time Time stamp 4:45 - 9:32. The cop clearly feels he is above the law, and must be heard in his entirety. I wonder how many suspects he did not listen to? I'm surprised the judge did not find him in contempt. And I am surprised that he was allowed to face the jail time from the plea bargain. Had you or I done that, we would have had the book thrown at us.  Third - ADA Gets Spicy Time stamp 9:33 - 11:45. The State's Deputy Attorney General ("ADA...

This video covers the illegal stopping of an open carry advocate by jack-booted thug "police" officers. While there is a LOT to unpack in that video, the focus of this post is to make a point that is discussed in that video.  In the video, when the JBT is trying to take the AR15 pistol off of the open-carry advocate's body and unload it, the JBT points the gun at the advocate, as well as at fellow officers. Completely unsafe gun handling. Totally out of line.  This author has observed as a firearms instructor, that some of the worst gun handling is by current and former police and military. In fact, so much so, that the following statement is true: Former police and military are usually demonstrate more unsafe firearms handling than untrained civilians. 

Some time back, a person I know put up a Facebook live video. It was unintentionally hilarious. This individual was in the Army National Guard. He was deriding civilian firearms training. This individual had served as an infantryman, an artilleryman, and also in recruiting. He made near constant claims of going to soon join the Army Rangers. He also claimed to actively train with Army Rangers "all the time."  His rant continued. He said he "shoots thousands of rounds every month." And this was the part that made me laugh out loud! You see, his profession was as a truck driver. These days, the average truck driver in Tennessee earns about $55,000 per year. After taxes, that works out to about $3600 per month take home. He was also divorced and paid child support. According to what he had told me, it was about $900 per month. So, his net earnings were somewhere in the $2700 per month range. Maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less.  How is this funny? Hang on and stay with ...

Had to get this blog post out immediately, because something is not adding up.  Today, December 24, 2022, TVA is asking for rolling power outages . They cite " unprecedented usage ."  Meanwhile, I do not believe it for a moment. Why, you ask? Simple - they are a government entity and the government has a horrendous track record with the truth. But this is more than just some "conspiracy theory" (which have all been coming true the last few years). Let's look at some counter-evidence.  TVA had similar usage this past summer. From the article: TVA CEO Jeff Lyash said the next two weeks will propel its systems beyond 30,000 megawatts this month – the highest number in over a decade. "We're at the beginning of a heat wave," Lyash said. "Other systems will falter because they're short on electricity. TVA will not." Electricity demand surged to its highest-ever capacity of 31,311 megawatts on Monday night, TVA officials said. Meanwhile, on...

The difference between a clinician and a field medic can be interesting. Both are medical experts, within their respective training and scope.  Case in point, a paramedic or EMT, when teaching a trauma medical class such as Stop the Bleed or similar, will teach indications for tourniquet application. These indications would be massive bleeding, bright red bleeding, or spurting bleeding from an extremity. In a situation such as this, time is of the essence - you may have only seconds to apply a tourniquet in order to save the patient's life.  One field medic this author knows works for Nashville Fire Department. When a paramedic or EMT from NFD arrives at the scene of an injury, it is not uncommon for a police officer to have arrived prior. In many instances, officers will apply tourniquets according to their training. From time to time, the responding paramedic carefully removes the tourniquet and checks to see if it is needed. About 50% of the time, the tourniquet was indicat...

After writing this article , the author spent more time reviewing YouTube videos from the linked source. What was to be found was a walk down memory lane for this blog!  This video  and the follow up video both work to detail the accuracy of a 1:9 twist barrel with 77 grain ammunition. Three different 1:9 twist barrels are used, including a 16" rifle. This blog post , written over 7 years ago, comes to the same conclusion. Specifically written in that post: "70+ grain ammo not being stabilized out of a 1:9 twist barrel is a myth when the barrel is 20" long. I have no data or proof for the claim one way or the other for 18, 16, or 14.5" barrels." Well, now there is proof of the 16" barrels!

This one was too good to pass up.   At this point, wearing a face mask in public is an IQ test, and this person failed. Masks do not work. Fauci said so himself. And now one can say that on social media without even getting "checked" by the disinformation wing. Even the Left has caved!  In the "olden" days, people who did stupid things had to endure scorn and humiliation. This kept folks from getting weird. These days, that largely doesn't exist. This singular instance is good!

Revisiting this old post on the "25/300 yard zero."  Why?  Because this video was found in the wild on YouTube recently. The video states exactly the same thing this blog has stated over and over. Do not zero at 25 m. It does not equate to any other known zero. Even using the old military iron sight "z" setting, you are only getting shots on paper (man-sized paper at 300m) at best. Then you must fine tune the zero.  And absolutely and completely avoid this "zero" at all costs with any sort of scope. 

 A reader: "Can you do more breakdowns of those entitled people YouTube videos?" Sure.  Entitled Manager WRITES ME UP cuz my CO-WORKER refuses to be ON TIME for WORK Reminds me of the time I was written up for coming in second in Account Manager of the Week standings. Had been first for 11 straight weeks. Was second for a single week, then back to first the following weeks.  Story 2: Bad parents gaslight their son for having to pay to fix his car. Son's car was stolen by brother and wrecked, and parents agreed to pay for damages as opposed to having the brother (their other son) arrested for DUI. Dad gets into fight with someone at the repair shop after being chastised for being a bad parent and gaslighting. Am I the jerk for making them pay for the car? A - Not the jerk! Solution - GO LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE!   These people are toxic and you must get out of there! Story 3: Am I the jerk for making my boyfriend choose between me and his friends? A - Yes. Never date...

 From a reader: "Was this video what you wrote about some years back?"   YouTube: Entitled Parents GIVE their Son's BIRTHDAY to his SPOILED LITTLE SISTER - Reddit   Link to article in question .  Negative, this was not this author. A few telltale hints:  In my instance, I never cared whether I got a birthday party.  Never yelled at my dad (he wasn't at that party).  Never cried about it (though my mom said I did).  It was at my mom's "house," not Chuck-E-Cheese.  It was not my 18th birthday (it was the Redditor's 18th birthday).  It was the only time my mom did that (the Redditor had to endure this for 8 years).  The second story on that YouTube video is also interesting - the OP's entitled aunt tried to use his parents residence to qualify for low-income housing. Although I have seen extended family (my mom's side) try similar shenanigans. It failed in much the same way. 

In a social media post, a well-meaning individual stated that Georgia has voter ID laws. Certainly, they do, but that does not equate to effective ID laws. For this blog post, we will compare to Tennessee ID laws.  To level-set:  Georgia elected a Republican governor in 2014 with a 53% - 45% win. Tennessee elected a Republican governor with a 70% - 23% win. To be fair, Statewide Tennessee races typically favor the Republican about 65% - 33%. So, about a 10% swing in favor of Democrats in Georgia. Similar, nevertheless.  Also for level-set: Georgia Secretary of State voter ID requirements site .  Tennessee Secretary of State voter ID requirements site .  Key Differences: Please note that the Tennessee site refers to requirements of an ID that has proof of citizenship as a requirement, while Georgia has no such requirements! Georgia permits student IDs from state colleges and universities (not necessarily residents!). This is very problematic.  Georgia permit...

Raphael Warnock "defeated" Herschel Walker in the Georgia senate race last night.  "DEFEATED" Cue the typical sissy-Right claims: "We needed a better candidate!" "It's Trump's fault - he needs to get out of politics!" It's Mitch McConnell's fault - he wouldn't support a Republican candidate." True - McConnell needs to go. But he is not why Republicans lose. Republicans lose because of the type of people who elect a McConnel. They are sissies. They do not go all-in on mandating Voter ID and prohibiting mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting.  In 2006, Phil Bredesen won the Governor's race in Tennessee with "68%" of the vote. In 2012, Tennessee passed decent voter ID laws . Since then, the closest race was when Marsha Blackburn, a terrible candidate, "only" garnered 55% of the vote in 2018 , against a "well loved and admired" Phil Bredesen! Typically, the Republican garners 63% - 65% of the ...

Obituary for former judge, Tom Gray .  Reason this obituary is read with great pleasure.  More reading, much has to do with the unjust judge . 

Since the writing of this article on the Breed of Peace ™ , this blog has received many emails and messages about how it was "wrong."  Folks tried to fill all the Bingo Spots on the card:  Of course, several challenged this author to prove things. And while this author is not named "Google," this will serve: Texas woman hospitalized after Pitbull attacked her - this article has lots of links. This blog post will link to them and quote the article significantly for future reference.  It is important to note that pit bulls are not the only breed of dog that injures and attacks with deadly force, however, they have done it the most. Over a 15-year period from 2005 to 2019 , canines killed 521 Americans. Two dog breeds contributed to 76% (397) of the fatalities, namely pit bulls (346) and rottweilers (51). The remaining 24% of fatal dog maulings are attributed to 35 other dog breeds ( see chart here ). Statistics show that pit bulls make up only 6% of the canine popu...

This is a documentation of iPhone failures. The company iPhone will not make any sort of notification if the phone is ringing. All volume levels have been checked and re-checked. All settings are in the suggested setup. No active ring. No active vibrate, either.  And for the inevitable clown who won't read and thinks I'm just missing calls or hard of hearing, etc. - I have verified this by calling the device from my Samsung Galaxy A51. A phone in each hand. There was no way to miss the call.  The Samsung has no issues ringing, vibrating, or making whatever notification it is set to.  Also, this iPhone will not hang up if I call someone. The option to push the red button to disconnect the call goes away after 30 seconds, or if I change screens. It cannot be pulled back up by any standard method. And this cannot be corrected via any fix located on Google.  This might be why my kids never answer when I call (they both have iPhones - albeit more modern versions). But the...
