RECCE ROOM

Never before in my life have I had an elected representative who matched my personal beliefs so closely.  Joseph Padilla , Wilson County School Board member for Zone 4 (the zone in which I live) is just that man. He so frequently triggers the #LibNuts that they constantly whine online, make false allegations , and generally have meltdowns at his very existence. Well, if #LibNuts do anything, that's pretty much what they do.  Speaking of false allegations, Padilla suggested a policy to the school board recently that would make sure a student's parent(s) be notified if the student discloses to school officials that they are or feel they may be transgender. Of course, the  Left® suggests  this proposal was "out" the LGBTQ students. This clear falsehood was to be expected. The reality is much more bleak - not for Padilla, but for the students he works so hard to protect.  The Science Transgenderism is clearly associated with substantial increases in mental illness,...

From the article:  10 Crazy Myths About Women Men Actually Believe Let's see how many they get right or wrong: 1. Women Are Too Emotional To Be in Positions of Power This one is absolutely true. While there is the occasional outlier, the vast majority of women are not geared to be good leaders because they are too emotional. The ones that are the most under control still fall well short of the top 25% of men.  2. Women Always Want Children Again, there are some outliers, but this is also very true by and large. Only about 15% of women remain childless into menopause.  3. Women Are Naturally Better at Nurturing and Caregiving Again, there are outliers, but this one is also true for the most part.  4. Women Are Less Intelligent Than Men This one is the key point. The article mentions only IQ - intelligence quotient. Since there are 9 types of intelligence, we must measure all 9. Women may be roughly equal to men in IQ, but women generally lag way behin...

This is not a repo story, but it is directly related to daily car rental. The difference between debit and credit cards. For many Car Rental employees, this is the bane of their existence. Why? Because of the strife that comes from stupid people with their debit cards.  Background In car rental, most rental agencies require a renter to provide a Driver's License and a form of payment in order to rent. The Driver's License is obvious - the law in all 50 states requires a driver to be licensed. The preferred form of payment for most rental agencies is a credit card. Some 20 years ago or so, when many banks started issuing check cards with the VISA or Mastercard logo on it, a new problem arose.  The Reason The reasons for a car rental agency to use a credit card are numerous: :Liquid" funds - when the rental needs to be extended, a credit card can be run again. Cash would simply run out.  A person with good credit is far less likely to wreck a rental car.  A person with...

Yesterday was Father's Day. I received many well-wishes and sent a few, as well.   Unpopular opinion here.  Single moms are NOT fathers.  Pet owners are not fathers.  A father in the home is a better predictor of a child's success later in life than anything. With only a slight advantage to a two-parent home

There is good news for Kristen here: 1. Background checks are already the law.  Now, there are no background checks mandated on a private transaction face-to-face. That would be unenforceable. Also, no background check must be passed prior to a thief stealing a gun. That, too, would be impossible to enforce. And the majority of "gun-crimes" are committed by persons who illegally obtained (i.e. - STOLE) the gun.  2. Women already have full reproductive rights.  Presuming a woman is capable of having a child, no law in the US prevents her from having one. Presuming a woman does not want to have a child, she has many methods of birth control from which to choose, including abstinence. Now, because the SCOTUS decision in Dobbs v Jackson, each state controls whether and to what extent abortion - the killing of an unborn child - is legal. Of course, abortion is not a reproductive right, nor is it health care .  3. We already have a ban on state-mandated religion (It's the ...

Every Time Not sometimes, not most of the time.  Every Time.  Every time I make an exception for a friend , it backfires. They stab me in the back. People act the fool. Some weird shit happens.  Every time.  One of these days, I'll not only take a stand, but keep it.
