Fight Fire With Fire, And, Uh, Accidental Targets

Well, North Dakota seems intent on turning their schools into macho-man battlegrounds.

Bismarck Public Schools and the Bismarck Police Department plan to share the cost of purchasing nearly $26,000 worth of AR-15s, gun safes, additional bulletproof vests and medical kits, the Bismarck Tribune reported.

And they are going to give this stuff to the school’s “resource officers.”  I think they mean “prison guards.”

The resource officers already carry handguns but handguns “won’t help if they need to shoot from a distance.”  So, they need AR-15s.  Because they’re going to be running away?  Or is it just more fun to use an automatic weapon when there will likely be children between the gunman and the officer?

Thanks to Claudia for the heads up.

That’s a Lotta Money

Remember the United the Right Rally in Washington, DeeCee, where the crowd of white supremacists were in the dozens?  Okay, maybe two dozens.

That mess cost the taxpayers of Dee Cee $2.6 million dollars. They figure that’s about $86,000 a racist, which, best I can figure, is about 4 times their yearly income, which makes it kinda like racist welfare.

Here’s the stumper …

The money came from the federally funded Emergency Planning and Security Fund, which reimburses DC agencies for costs that relate to the city being the nation’s capital.

So, actually, that was your taxes paying for that stuff.

Thanks to S Gray for the heads up.

My Local Republican Party is Dopey

Remember the cold war when the Republicans were hollering “Better dead than red!”

Yeah, well, I do, too.  I think they changed their mind about that.  So, what time is better than now to remind voters that Republicans have gone all Russian commie on us?

 

 

Is anybody else’s county Republican Party using anything else that damn dumb?

 

West Virginia People I Detest

Oh, this is cute.

It seems that the West Virginia Supreme Court is all Democrats.  And, strictly by coincidence they’re all being impeached.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – The House of Delegates on Monday voted to impeach all four remaining West Virginia Supreme Court justices on 11 various articles of impeachment, covering a range of grounds from wasteful spending, maladministration, incompetency, neglect of duty, and potential criminal behavior.

Additionally, delegates approved a resolution to publicly reprimand and censure all four justices for the conduct covered by the articles of impeachment.

Here’s the deal:  One justice resigned.  Justice Robin Davis is accusing House of Delegates of impeaching her based on political party. Says she retired to let voters decide replacement.

Jim Justice

The GOP-controlled legislature dragged its feet for months on impeaching these justices to prevent their replacement by voters via special elections this fall. Missing today’s deadline lets Republican Gov. Jim Justice appoint their replacements.

Admittedly, some of these guys are stinkers, but nothing that would rise to the level of impeachment on most of the charges.

Let me tell you someone about Jim Justice.  He made his money in coal mining.

In 2015, Justice switched from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party and announced his candidacy for Governor in the 2016 election. He ran as a Democrat and defeated the Republican nominee, Bill Cole. Less than seven months after taking office, Justice switched back to the Republican Party the day after announcing his plans at a President Trump rally in the state.

Now there’s a man you can trust!

Thanks to Deb T for the heads up.

 

Locals, Okay, Now We’re Buying Beto Signs

August 14, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Beto’s campaign is not buying highway signs.  So, we’re trying to buy some for Fort Bend.  If you live in a nearby rural county, you can buy one and pick it up here in central Fort Bend.  We will put it up for you!

If you’re from out of state and you hate Ted Cruz, I will hang a laminated sticker off the tee-post of your sign and email you a picture of it!

#QAnon

August 14, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Y’all, I have kinda figured out what #QAnon is.  To be honest, all I really know is that I do not want to even go there to look. I figure that if Alex Jones and Sean Hannity promote it, it’s probably over the Texas Interscholastic League’s allowable level of insanity and greed.

Thelma tells me it’s the Zombie Apocalypse and nobody who is actually alive has recognized that yet.  No matter, because Thelma has stocked up on whatever it is you stock up on when there’s zombies at your back door.

But here you’ve got grown adult people running around talking in code like the rest of us did in junior high school.

Leave it to Georgia, and I think because it’s far too hot in Georgia in August for proper thinking to prosper, to take this whole thing over the line.  There’s a car wash in Georgia sending #QAnon signals.

 

No, I am not kidding.

An Acworth car wash has aligned its business with a group who believe a government insider is publicly uncovering a vast left-wing plot against President Donald Trump.

The billboard reads “#QANON” — citing a group many have said espouse conspiracy theories — and has a logo with the name of Car Nutz Car Wash in the bottom left corner.

You know, they could have just left off the first “Car” and the whole thing would make better sense.

I’m starting a conspiracy that this billboard is a false flag and  Nuts Car Wash is front for Nancy Pelosi and her squad of lefty lesbian liberals to take over the muscle car industry.
