It Must Be Okay To Carry A Concealed Weapon In Kalifornia!

Leave a comment

Last Saturday night a group of 30 “yutes” looted a 7-Eleven in Huntington Beach Kalifornia. Police in an inter-agency stop, detained 80 “yutes” in a party bus and ended up arresting two perps for ‘assaulting the store clerk’.  The rest were sent on their merry way back home.

Here’s the fun part. The report states that the police found SEVEN LOADED HANDGUNS on the bus! Some party waiting to happen!

Now I can only assume that SEVEN of the “yutes” had Kalifornia Carry Permits as only two were arrested and that was for the assault.  Want to make any bets on how many actually had carry permits?

If no one had concealed carry permits, then the only alternative answer is that IT’S OKAY NOW to carry concealed in Kalifornia!  Must be a new 2017 law I didn’t know about.  Sheesh and I just heard that Kalifornia hired Ex-Atty. General Eric “I hate the second amendment” Holder to fight reciprocal carry permits with other states, as one of his tasks.

It used to be that a loaded weapon in a vehicle without a carry permit was illegal. The law HAD been the weapon needed to be UNLOADED and stored in a separate compartment of the vehicle or in a locked container.  Looks like that law, just like prostitution by minors (read my previous post HERE) has been rescinded, in this most compassionate state.  We wouldn’t want any victimized young people arrested for breaking laws.  That wouldn’t be very compassionate.

It begs the age old question, why do we keep putting NEW GUN LAWS on the books when no one give a “Frick” about the ones that already exist?

I guess if you’re a disadvantaged “yute”, you can do whatever you want.

May I join the victim class, so I can do whatever the hell I want?  Once again, can you hear my head banging on my desk?

If you’re wondering what a “yute” is:

We legalized more than weed here in the MOST PROGRESSIVE and COMPASSIONATE state.

I heard about this new Kalifornia law, SB 1322, on Bill O’Rielly’s show, “The O’Reilly Factor”, just tonight.

Child prostitution has been decriminalized in the ‘Great State’ of The People’s Republik of Kalifornication. Yet one more, most excellent ‘progressive‘ law signed by Gov. Moonbeam last year, which took effect on Jan 1, 2017.  Happy new year!

Here’s part of the legislative summary provided by the state:

“SB 1322, Mitchell. Commercial sex acts: minors.
Existing law makes it a crime to solicit or engage in any act of prostitution. Existing law makes it a crime to loiter in any public place with the intent to commit prostitution.  This bill would make the above provisions inapplicable to a child under 18 years of age who is alleged to have engaged in conduct that would, if committed by an adult, violate the above provisions.”

You can read the bill HERE.

Show of hands.  How many think legalizing (or decriminalizing if you so prefer) child prostitution is a good idea?

The left swinging news media is up in arms because a Republican State Representative, who by the way voted against the law, wrote an op-ed piece saying Kalifornication politicians legalized child prostitution.  Technically, yes, they didn’t “legalize” child prostitution.  They just “decriminalized” the act of prostitution if committed by a minor.  How fine can you split a hair?

Here’s what’s sad. It’s illegal for a minor to work a full-time job but a minor can sell their body with no consequences.  Under the law police cannot even interfere with the child’s “business” activity unless there is an immediate health risk to the child.

I guess this is part of the plan to help integrate young people, especially runaways and abused children, into the work force. I suspect they can make more than the “Feel the Bern” Sanders’ $15.00 per hour minimum wage.

Once more “Oh my“.

Is This The Best That All The 3-Letter Agencies Can Do?

Leave a comment

I just read the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) Joint Accountability Report (JAR), JAR-16-20296, titled “GRIZZLY STEPPE – Russian Malicious Cyber Activity“, (whew), that is supposedly the PROOF that Russians influenced the 2016 Presidential election. You can read a copy of the report HERE.

In the famous words of Lt. Sulu of the Starship USS Enterprise, “Oh my“.

The majority of the report is a bunch of BOVINE EXCREMENT, to put it kindly.  It’s sad that this conglomeration of word salad is the best that all the 3-Letter Agencies, DHS, FBI, CIA, et al, could come up with.  If I were grading the report, I’d give it an “F”.

The bottom line of the report is that at least two individuals, one at the DNC, and the other, John Podesta, were tricked into divulging their email passwords to a bad guy and their emails were stolen.  This one sentence pretty much sums up all 13 pages of the report.

As to whether or not Putin was behind this, the report attributes the ‘hacking’ of the emails to “Russian civilian and military intelligence Services (RIS)“.  The report only IMPLIES that Russian Intelligence, may or may not have been responsible.  That’s a definite “sort of maybe” accusation of Putin’s involvement.  Sheesh, if you want to implicate the man, just say it.  “We have direct evidence that Vladimir Putin was responsible for authorizing the attacks”.  If the evidence is classified and cannot be publicly disclosed, just say so.  I’d be okay with that.

In order to puff up the length of the report, the “authors” put in a statement, “In foreign countries…” the bad guys did bad things. They needed to include “foreign” attacks to make the idea of Russian involvement more dramatic and ominous, as well as to make the report longer. These “foreign” attacks had nothing to do with the election controversy.

Here’s my summary analysis of the report:

1 page saying John Podesta and someone at the DNC got tricked into giving up their email passwords.  NO NEWS HERE.  They imply the Russians tricked them.

1 page consisting of two illustrations that tries to explain “phishing”.  A waste of a page

1 page which has a chart listing 48 viruses and malware that might be Russian related.  Only 2 of the 48 listed have any association with the election controversy.   A wast of a page.

1 page that has a code snippet of generic “Yara signature” code. This is a complete red herring because they don’t include the actual signature “string” which might point to something of substance.  I think someone put this in to try and bamboozle the layman reader because it looks all techie, but it describes absolutely nothing of any importance.  Another waste of a page.

8 pages of bloat that says don’t be an idiot like Podesta and teach your network administrators to do the job they are supposed to do.  Yet more wasted pages.

1 page that says how to contact the NCCIC.  After reading the report, this too is a waste of a page, if this is the best that they can come up with.

The report is 13 pages of puffery and very little of it is of any substance.

Just in case you don’t know what “phishing” is, it’s a scheme where a bad guy sends you an email that says there is a problem with one of your accounts and you need to log into this “special” website using your username and password to “fix” the problem. The report says “At least one targeted individual” stupidly clicked the links and gave up their personal information. Looks like John Podesta was “at least one” of those idiots. Once the bad guys had access to the accounts they downloaded the emails.  There is some inference that the bad guy did place a virus or malware into the user’s email account most likely to catch future password changes.

Supposedly the report is the EVIDENCE that led to the decision by the administration to expel 35 Russians from the US.

Don’t get me wrong on my position.  Stealing information is WRONG!  My criticism is of this poorly written report that was issued.  The Russian regime is still made up of bad guys who do bad things.

I believe we should only trust the Russians about as far as we can toss a bowl of Bosrscht.
