Not Flying Very High

Leave a comment

Anyone else notice something different about the protests in Londinistan against President Trump?
The balloon isn’t flying over the “huge” group of protesters. The balloon is dragged through the crowd by the “Trump babysitters” as they call themselves. Why is this?

Oddly, there is a WORLDWIDE SHORTAGE OF HELIUM.

Once again if you follow the RANTINGS of the loony leftists who want to get rid of fossil fuels, a world without HELIUM will be one of the results. Why is this?

HELIUM is produced as a byproduct of NATURAL GAS PROCESSING. Almost all HELIUM is produced from NATURAL GAS processing plants.  HELIUM must be constantly produced because it is one of the most difficult substance to store.  HELIUM leaks out of or boils off from any containment vessel that it is stored in.

So who cares if you can’t fly the Trump balloon or have festive birthday parties?

Once again, SHORT-SIGHTED “greenies new dealers” neglect that HELIUM is used in SUPERCONDUCTORS inside of useless technology such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) machines. It’s also used in physics research for PARTICLE ACCELERATORS for you “Big Bang” TV show fans. HELIUM is used in research to hopefully develop FUSION ENERGY which has the potential to become the ULTIMATE CLEAN ENERGY SOURCE.

I suppose if we don’t care about diagnosing and possibly CURING CANCER and creating TRUE CLEAN ENERGY we can get rid of all those pesky fossil fuel producing plants that make all the HELIUM.

Thank you Congressman Occasional-Cortex  for your brilliance in demanding the elimination of fossil fuel production.  Of course since you are the LEADING SCIENCE EXPERT you obviously know how to CURE CANCER in a world without HELIUM, before the world ends in 12 years, as part of your “deal”.

School Resource Officer Arrested

Leave a comment

Former law enforcement officer Scot Peterson was arrested on June 4, 2019 for failing to enter the building of Parkland FL’s Stoneman Douglas High School during the shooting, on Feb. 14, 2018.

When I heard this I was surprised of his arrest. Coward County officer Peterson was armed, supposedly trained, and stationed at the school to intercede in an event such as the shooting. My own feelings are that he should be held accountable for not rushing in to try and stop the shooting.

But what should he be held accountable for?

I wrote about the responsibility of the police to an individual’s protection HERE.

To reiterate, the police DO NOT have any responsibility for an individual’s protection.

Here’s my prediction of what will transpire.

Coward Peterson will most likely be dragged through the legal system but will eventually be released because he did not have a LEGAL responsibility for doing anything. As bad as this is, the only way to fix the issue is for the Florida legislature to codify that school resource officers MUST intercede in a violent situation in all circumstances. This will be a very hard law to define and in the end, if such a law is passed, it will probably be found UNCONSTITUTIONAL due to prior Supreme Court precedence.

No matter what anyone says, the ONLY ONE responsible for your protection is YOURSELF.  If you choose to give up any of your rights for self protection, for any reason, you’ve made you own choice for NO PROTECTION.

Great Idea, Spartacus

Leave a comment

Presidential hopeful Spartacus Booker is proposing a national gun licensing program as a cornerstone to his plan to reduce gun violence. According to reporting in USA Today, the process would be similar to applying for a passport. Licensees would need to provide fingerprints and background information as well as documentation that they have passed a firearms safety course. The FBI would perform a background check to verify the ELIGIBILITY of the individual to exercise their Constitutional Second Amendment RIGHT.  After passing the FBI investigation the government would issue a license to possess a firearm.

Okay Spartacus, riddle me this. If you are willing to FORCE people to have a fingerprints and background checks performed on the CITIZENS of the United States before allowing them to have their Second Amendment Rights, why don’t EXTEND YOUR LOGIC and apply it to VOTING RIGHTS?  This will prevent voter fraud and insure that all voters are qualified to determine the direction of the United States.

The process would be similar to obtaining a passport.  Anyone who wants to vote would be required to provide fingerprints and background information proving their eligibility to vote in this country. They will also need to provide documentation that they understand the basics of government and the CONSTITUTION. The FBI would perform a background check to verify the ELIGIBILITY to individual to exercise their Constitutional Right to VOTE.  After passing the FBI investigation the government would issue a license to vote.

Voting is an important issue as voting determines the course of OUR COUNTRY. I keep hearing the liberal left saying “Elections have consequences”.  Let’s make sure that everyone who votes is LEGALLY ELIGIBLE AND QUALIFIED TO VOTE.
