Don’t worry my dogs are friendly…

“Don’t worry my dogs are friendly…” Said the guy opening his car door, letting his 2 dogs run off leash at the trail head a week or so ago.

Both dogs ran barking and snapping, directly at me & Jesse (who I had on his leash). One caught my pups jaw with a tooth then went for his throat and legs. The other came at me snarling & trying to bite me. I dropped the leash so Jesse had free motion and I had both hands to defend myself.

Jesse is amazingly fast and agile. He got a piece of his attacker and had blood all over his mouth and face while their owner was yelling & threatening me as though somehow I or my dog were at fault.

Fortunately, there were plenty of witnesses and a sign that clearly said “NO DOGS OFF LEASH”. When the authorities arrived, the witnesses all pointed at the dudes dogs as aggressors giving statements. Jesse & I were sitting on a tall rock. He was still on guard but was a good boy while I rinsed his wounds with water from our hydration pack. I was able to clean, assess, and dress his wounds on the spot. (Put together a dog first aid kit. It pays to be prepared!)

A Ranger brought Jesse his bandanna lost in the fracas, approaching very gently and quietly. He climbed up on the rock with us & Jesse nuzzled him to put the bandanna back on.

“That guy is trying to claim your dog is aggressive and mean,” he said as he retied the bandanna.

“I’m just not seeing it, his dog is pretty chewed up though. He’s demanding you pay the vet bill. Don’t worry, he’s not got a leg to stand on, he’s getting a hefty ticket right now. How’s this fella?” He gave Jesse some ear scritches.

“He’s okay, it think. There’s a cut from a tooth on his jaw, a couple of small punctures on his leg and another puncture near his shoulder towards his neck. They’re minor. I’ve cleaned ’em & hit ’em with antibiotic ointment. I’ll watch him for the next few days. He’ll be at the vet if he’s not healing or I find anything worse when we get home.” 

“Good,” the Ranger said, “Would you like me to hold the leash while you clean up the wound on your leg?” Jesse gave the Ranger a lick, asking for more ear scritches.

I was so worried about my pup, I hadn’t noticed I’d been injured and was bleeding pretty good. I rinsed my wound, & grabbed the human first aid kit from the pack to fix myself up.

The Ranger smiled, “Nice to see someone prepared even if 99% of the time they don’t need to be. You guys walk this trail a lot. I’ve never seen a vehicle, would you like a ride home?”

Folks, there’s a darn good reason to keep your dog on a leash. It’s as much for their safety as it is for others. You have no idea how far from home someone is, or if they, or their dog is old or has bad knees/other health conditions. Keeping control of your dog is super important so everyone can have a nice walk/hike.

That being said, drop the leash if your dog is attacked. They know what to do, and a former street dog like my pup knows how to end it pretty quick. 

Neither of us will have lasting physical damage & we got a ride in a ranger’s truck home. So that’s off our bucket list.

So the conspiracy theorists were right again…

Big surprise!

An article appeared on Breitbart today reporting that;

The Obama administration’s top officials committed a “treasonous conspiracy” by manufacturing and politicizing intelligence to create the false narrative that led to the years-long Trump-Russia collusion probe, according to newly-declassified documents released by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard.

Apparently Gabbard has referred the matter tot he DOJ and is demanding that everyone involved be investigated. Yawn!

I’m at the point of “fuck the investigations”, I want prosecutions and since this smells a lot like outright treason I’m for gallows being built on the capital lawn. I’m to the point of seeing corrupt officials dancing at the end of a rope.

Oh I know there will be some who read this and think, “He’s such a Trumper.”

Nope, you’d be wrong.

Trump is irrelevant to me in stuff like this.

What pisses me off is the waste, and corruption. These people caused hundreds of millions to be wasted in probes, hearings, and investigations. Their actions undermined the faith of the American people in their government. The cloud that hung over The President impaired the office.

This bullshit tied up Congressional committees for years, producing nothing of any use. Even after each probe determined that there was nothing, no wrongdoing, no Russian collusion, Congress still wasted time waving their hands, making accusations & starting other pointless investigations.

This is perhaps the epitome of weaponized law fare and misuse of the government’s power and resources.

Moreover, I firmly believe that not one of the fuckers will ever be held accountable. Which begs the question, why the fuck should I, as an individual, obey any laws that I don’t agree with? Don’t come at me with the IRS, the FBI, the Justice Department or any other government agency.

If these people aren’t going to be held accountable, then government can’t hold me accountable for anything. They can fuck all the way off.

Honestly, in my opinion the constant investigations and obvious media collusion rises to the level of election interference. Both in the midterm 2018 and in the 2020 election. The people were lied to, they voted based on the lies, and ultimately, (rigged 2020 election or not,) we got four years of Biden as a medically compromised figurehead while others, behind the scenes, apparently misused Presidential authority via autopen signatures.

Now there’s going to be more waste and more bullshit investigations that go nowhere. The DOJ will never bring any of these individuals from the Obama Administration or the Biden Administration to any form of Justice.

The real question is why? What the hell is the end game? This shit can’t all be coincidence. There’s some kind of overarching plan at work here.

1) Keep everyone pissed off and divided
2) Instill mistrust in the government 
3) Demonstrate obvious two tiered justice
4) Make people fearful of everything and anything
5) Make sure that the main stream media speaks only the approved propaganda 
6) Stay involved in expensive proxy wars
7) Import more people than can be absorbed into our culture, there are immigration limits for a reason.
8) ????

This right here is how I imagine you destabilize and ultimately topple a government. This is how Revolutions, Civil Wars, and Coup d’etats, happen.

Why vote? Why participate in a system that is so corrupt? Why even try anymore?

Those may be legitimate questions now. Once they were questions only “Crazy Conspiracy, or Right wing extremists,” asked.

Scammers to the left of me, Scammers to the right of me

Indian job search assholes!

First off, they’re really hard to understand.

Second off I’m rapidly coming to the conclusion that they’re all scammers.

After dicking around with some company out of Austin, TX for 3.5 weeks it turns out that they’re just interested in selling me their training. 

I applied to a position they’d advertised that I was qualified for and they tried the old bait and switch.

For those who may be interested the company name is Ace IT, they’re based in Austin, TX and they’re posting job openings that may or may not be real. I believe, based on my experience with them, they’re posting these openings in an effort to engage with potential workers then sell that worker on buying their training courses. 

Trouble is, the person searching for a job is looking for employment, not to purchase another set of training courses to put on their resume.

I’m looking for a position NOW, not three months from now. I’m not in a position to spend a shit ton of money on some bullshit “training”. I don’t need to be screwed with, and I don’t need to have my time (and money) wasted in endless “mock” interviews that go nowhere.

Is the job available or not? Are you interviewing me for the job I applied for? If either of those two questions is “No,” then we have nothing more to discuss.

They may really be helping some people, but the fact of the matter is the way they go about their business is slimy. 

Be honest! Be direct! Be useful!

Cut the bullshit!

I should have trusted my instincts.

They claim to have gotten 2000 people jobs in the past four years. 55 People per month… Somehow that just doesn’t seem like a lot.

Another LinkedIn bullshit company to muddy the waters. This is why I cancelled my LinkedIn account years ago, and probably why I’m going to cancel it again. What a waste of time!

Now I’m going to get on with the rest of my day, but first an aspirin for the headache, then I’ll block all Ace IT email and phone numbers. They’re obviously not a serious company.

Didn’t see that coming, apparently neither did Iran.

Trump took out Iran’s uranium refineries. 

Good! The last people on the planet that should have nuclear weapons, or even nuclear materials is a bunch of 12th century religious zealots.

Since the days of Carter, I’ve suggested that we give Iran nuclear weapons – Pointy end first. Then erect a huge monument to stupidity that could be seen from orbit on the foot thick slab of glass that used to be Iran.

I looked at it as a twofer, maybe a threefer. We’d get rid of the crazy mullahs, combat climate change with the dust the blast would kick into the atmosphere, and send a very clear concise message to terrorists that their unending violence would not be tolerated.

Most people told me my suggestion was extreme. Maybe…

I’ve mellowed over the years, largely due to my other half being such a just and kind person. I’m still in favor of terrorists being shot on sight. I’m not particularly interested in trials or appeals for them.

Which is why I have no pity for Gaza. The Palestinians were given the land, allowed to create their own governance, and chose a terrorist organization to be their government. What they’ve done over the years, and in particular on Oct 7 deserves no mercy, no pity, and no survivors.

It’s not hatred that I feel, it’s exhaustion. The entire Middle East has exhausted me.

Send all their “immigrants” back from Western countries, quarantine the area, then let them murder each other at will. Wait 50 or 100 years then check on them to see if any of them had evolved beyond the 12th century.

This morning Iran is crying to the UN about not being able to make “Mostly Peaceful” Nuclear weapons. At the same time they’re still lobbing “Mostly Peaceful” ballistic missiles at Israel. I’d laugh if I didn’t know that the UN will of course condemn the US for burying a shit ton of uranium in the desert.

To be clear, I disagree with Israel launching the first missiles at Iran. I think it might not have been that great an idea.

I guess they had their reasons, and I don’t know enough to really assess what the motivation was. In general I’m in favor of destroying Iranian ability to sponsor global terrorist networks, piracy on the high seas, and God knows what other shenanigans they’re behind on the global stage.

Iran should be glad people with Western values are choosing tactical targets. I suspect that if someone were motivated, almost every city in Iran could be leveled in less than 24 hours.

I’m reasonably sure that as long as the oil production sites weren’t significantly damaged, no-one would give a shit. Perhaps it could be sold to the rest of the world as, “For the Greater Good”. That seems to carry weight with a lot of people these days.

It would do my evil little heart good to see tons of Americans out on the streets shouting “Death to Iran” or “Murder a Mullah for God”. Burning effigies, Iranian flags, and such.

I’m just sick and tired of being extorted by Iran (how many billions have been given to them to “buy” peace?) Maybe I’m sick of having to be “Nice”. Maybe I’m just tired of chaos.

I don’t want any American boots on the ground in the Middle East ever again. But I wouldn’t be opposed to making an example of the primary ringleaders of chaos from the air.

I’m glad Trump bombed the shit out of their facilities. Now let Israel finish the job.

Rumor has it, Iran has ordered the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Even though it would mean escalation of hostilities, I’m not opposed to the US Navy hunting down and sinking every Iranian warship. While we’re at it, destroy every single Iranian military aircraft.

I’m also for isolating them from the internet, and seizing all their foreign assets, including bank accounts, then returning that money to the American Taxpayer as reparations for PTSD.

If you deny the Mullahs the ability to make war, then you won’t have war.

Hey, at least I’m not advocating burning their fields and villages then plowing salt into the ground.

Here we go again, Summer of Love 2.0?

Los angeles protests 2386959498.Interesting.

The National guard is being deployed in LA.

None of this is surprising. We all knew the riots and looting would happen and all of us have just been waiting for a spark. Looks like the spark for LA is ~200 illegals being arrested by ICE.

There have been several posts on X where the protestors are showing their bruises from rubber bullets. Oh, the poor babies! At this point with all the protests I’m for the police using live rounds. All it would take is once.

LA protests Arrests made as clashes continue into 3rd night 750x529 2899062660.I see this morning that, in a surprising turn (to no-one), stores have been looted. Who would have seen that coming? Book stores are as usual immune. But the Tmobile stores, and any store that carries tennis shoes have been hit.

I saw one unconfirmed report that The Muslim brotherhood had joined in the LA protests too. 

Yawn!

Daddy & Elon are having a spat, Jamie Raskin is calling for Trump to be impeached, big surprise! Kathy Lee Griffin is claiming that there was election tampering, (not that her opinion matters in the least.)

It’s only interesting because when it was her guy, elections were “fair and honest”. She is a low rent comedian fighting to maintain relevance, it’s just interesting how her opinions change with the wind. 

That could be said of all the politicians and at least 90% of Hollywood too.

I saw a report that protestors were lighting brushfires in LA. That’s a brilliant move! They’ll burn down the rest of the city then all the illegals will have to relocate. Dumbasses!

Watching the Waymo taxis burning in the streets, all I could think was; “Who’s going to pay the carbon tax for that? Surely the AQMD is looking to fine someone for the pollution.”

It’s got to be quite a conundrum for the leftist liberal transgendered crowd. How ever will they resolve the conflict over protesting against ICE enforcement and protesting for “trans rights” & “gender affirming” care for 3 year olds? Then there’s the horror of them not having time to attend PRIDE events.

I don’t think the protestors or their benefactors have any clue just how over it “Normal” America is.

Poland is looking better all the damn time. Safe, clean streets, pastoral land, nice people…

It’s not that I’m anti-Trump, I’m just sick to freakin death of the chaos. Essentially sixteen years, or more, of this shit is quite enough.

Well, I better make sure the “Go-Bag” is ready. If the protests and inevitable fires they start, spread beyond the LA Basin, I should be ready to bail. 

This is certainly not how I expected my last years on this Earth to be.
