In Less Than 24 Hours

Do you realize that within the Georgia Department of Education…

School Boards, Administrators, Teachers and Support Staff have completely revisited everything we know about educating our kids? Put plans in place and starting today (some earlier) executed the teaching of our kids in ways we never thought possible?

Do you realize that distance learning, eLearning, remote learning, whatever you want to call it was primarily reserved for higher education, but starting today, March 18th, 2020 – our education system embarked on a journey with our elementary, middle school and high school age students?

Do you realize, that the nuts and bolts of what will be taught and how it will be taught was put together by the same teachers that you email to complain about Little Johnnie getting an F in his English class did this, quite literally overnight?

Romanian Revolution

By Leave a Comment

LONG READ WARNING – I got to see the aftermath of this first hand in 1990. I was in Romania. It remains one of my fondest memories of my time in Uncle Sam’s Canoe Club.

The pride of the Romanian people I came into contact with was palpable. Their country was destroyed but their resilience was amazing. As much as they needed an economic shot in the arm, our money was no good there. We could not buy anything. They gave it to us. Food, drink, trinkets. We traded ship’s Zippo lighters, ball caps, t-shirts.

But the people. The people’s pride of their country was the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed in my life. Before and since.

“As anti-government protesters demonstrated in Timișoara in December 1989, he perceived the demonstrations as a political threat and ordered military forces to open fire on 17 December, causing many deaths and injuries. The revelation that Ceaușescu was responsible resulted in a massive spread of rioting and civil unrest across the country. The demonstrations, which reached Bucharest, became known as the Romanian Revolution — the only violent overthrow of a communist government in the turn of the Revolutions of 1989. Ceaușescu and his wife Elena fled the capital in a helicopter, but they were captured by the military after the armed forces changed sides. After being tried and convicted of economic sabotage and genocide, they were immediately executed by firing squad on 25 December and Ceaușescu was succeeded as President by Ion Iliescu, who had played a major part in the revolution. Capital punishment was abolished shortly thereafter. ”

Scott’s Recommendations For Staying COVID-19 FREE

By 1 Comment

Ok. It’s time to get real.

So here are my recommendations for keeping yourself safe from COVID-19.

  1.  Don’t order from Amazon. You don’t want to set yourself up for Prime delivery of the bug.
  2. Order from Wish. Everything take 5 – 8 weeks to arrive. It will be dead by then.
  3. Don’t be flat backin’ your way through your Tinder matches. Unknown if it can be sexually transmitted but why chance it.
  4. Carry a can of Lysol and mace anyone who sniffles near you.
  5. Text. Even if you’re across the room. COVID-19 has not been shown to be contagious through Sprint, ATT, or Verizon. T-Mobile is iffy. Block T-Mobile.
  6. If the store that you MUST go into doesn’t have automatic doors keep walking.

 

I may or may not have more ideas. I will post as they show up during my bathroom personifications.

Doris Crutchfield challenges Jodi Lott

I don’t post in politics very often anymore. There was a time when that was all I did including extensive opposition research on behalf of my chosen party. But this one exposes a lying, feral, left wing moonbat. So lets break it down. This is a screenshot of her profile from a mobile device.  It was originally posted by The Austin Rhodes Show on Facebook.

The comment thread on that post is great.  There, Candidate Crutchfield says she doesn’t hate anyone.  She’s gaslighting.  Yet her profile say’s otherwise.  Of course this has been edited now.  But in today’s world of instant information she is too late.  Feel free to share this as much as you want.  Expose this low life.

And just so you know, my angst at Doris Crutchfield has little to do with her platform.  Only her lies right out of the box.

 

Medical/First Aid Bag

By Leave a Comment

Ok.  I have several friends who are, at some level or another emergency medical professionals.

I am wanting to build a good solid first aid kit for about 4 people.  I need your help.  I am NOT trained in much besides putting a band aid on an ouchie.  BUT…  my family is smart and could probably figure out most products and procedures if the need arose.

With that in mind, I am not looking for a full blown trauma kit.  A small backpack sized bag of stuff and things that we absolutely should have, would be great to have, and stuff that would be great to have.

Please reply here as opposed to Facebook.

Disney Blocks Gun Related Sites

By Leave a Comment

So while we were at Disney Springs today, I was sitting outside a store waiting on Tracie.  I was browsing my normal haunts, specifically, my other website Nos Populi.  I clicked on an article and was presented with this image.

I tried again. Same result. So I tried a different link.

 

So, out of curiosity, I connected to my VPN and tried again.  I normally always connect to public wifi through the vpn, but was in a hurry today.

Pretty clear, Disney is blocking any firearms related sites connected to their wifi network.

Do what you will with this information.  I HIGHLY recommend getting a vpn for at least your phones.  I use Private Internet Access or PIA.  It’s good, reliable and relatively inexpensive.
