Getting Closer
with less time to “prepare” – whatever that means.
In candid interviews with over two dozen House Democrats, Axios found a theme of anger, despair, and a dangerous appetite for chaos.
“Democrats told to “get shot” for the anti-Trump resistance” (axios dot com 7/7/25)
“Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” one lawmaker revealed, describing discussions with furious progressives. Another added that constituents have urged them to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”
It’s not just radicals from the streets
Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL), chair of the New Democrat Coalition, acknowledged the heat from his base: “We’ve got people who are desperately wanting us to do something … no matter what we say, they want [more].” More means more radical; heckling Trump, rogue impeachment stunts, even getting arrested or tackled during protests. One Democrat recalled people suggesting they should be “willing to get shot” while visiting ICE facilities.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D, Mass.) “Elon Musk is seizing the power that belongs to the American people.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D, Md.) Musk and Trump were conducting a “rapidly expanding and accelerating coup.”
Sen. Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) declared that a “coup” was being carried out.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) Musk was “taking away everything we have.”
Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Cal.) We are here to fight back.”
Sen. Cory Booker (D., NJ) called on citizens to “fight”; “We will rise up.”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., TX) “We are gonna be in your face, we are gonna be on your a–es, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like, and this ain’t it.”
Rep. LaMonica McIver (D., N.J.): “God d—it shut down the Senate!…WE ARE AT WAR!”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, (D-N.Y.) called for Democrats to fight “in the streets.”
I don’t believe I’ll be attending too many large events this year – large events being anything with people I don’t know or Democrats.
I don’t even want to take my yearly trip back east because there are some large cities I can’t easily avoid.
I was in Detroit in ’67 …. once is enough.
Dead Air Sierra 5 with Keymo Adapt$839.00
Now I ask you, Who is going to spend THAT much for one?
Won’t be me.
I have plans on how to build one myself.
Materials cost, about $15.
I have the tools to build it and my neighbor has the welder.
ATF?
Who TF is that?
They need to go read a thing called the 2nd, and git off’n my lawn.
You can purchase a legal flare gun on amazon:

There is information online that describes how to drill out an empty (already fired) flare container and install basic ingredients found in any home, that, when fired, will create a shotgun scatter pattern of molten hell out to a distance of 30 feet or more.
Spray paint the orange flare gun black so it is not so obvious and keep one in the console of your vehicle right next to your preferred hand gun. Keep another close to your front door.
Good for crowd control. Set 3 or 4 on fire and the rest will run for their very lives – screemin’ pisswilly’s they are.
In the immortal words of Ol’ Remus at the Woodpile Report… “Avoid large crowds.” If the nine politicians you quoted above are truly willing to get shot then there’s nothing to do but hope for the best… and take that any way you will. Another quote, “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” – George Carlin
Lacking In Self Awareness
====================
I’m doing a proposal for “another” chain restaurant and already I’m sick of it.
Boilerplate stuff that pays the bills but starves the creative genes.
Anybody else tired of all that “old stuff” that has infested just about every restaurant these days. The rusty corrugated panels, the cutsey signs that say “Dream” or “Believe”, or the motorcycle hanging upside down from the ceiling. And the TV’s everywhere. WTF??? How did restaurants in days of oldt manage to stay open without 8 TV’s on every wall?
Or how about the ultimate sign of shear laziness, the exposed ceiling with all the gutz hanging out, you know, duct work, piping, wires and all the other shit that decent people don’t want to see, right out there for everybody to see. Oh look, they painted all that stuff black to kinda, you know, recede into the background, fade away, be less noticeable. Right. Plain laziness, and the willingness to embarrass themselves to save a few dollars. The owners know fat, lazy chow hounds don’t care about anything but fry grease, mountains of salt and sugar, and crispy-creamy everything with a side order of gwok.
After a couple years all that stuff has vaporized cooking grease all over it and the pastures of dust that stickiness naturally collects. How gross.
Maybe I’ll price this proposal way above the norm so they’ll take it down the road. The problem is I’ve already done 4 other places for them and they may take it the wrong way and slam me in social media. Oh dear.
Anyway, in researching them online to get my bearings straight (been a couple years since I did the other stuff for them) I was looking at interior views of one of their facilities and came across the pik below at the link.
Who in the world does what that dood did. Look at him! Why, it’s as if he has no brain at all. In my worst drunken stupor it would never occur to me to go out in public looking like that, yet there he is acting like that’s everyday normal.
Hey Tom, I don’t need Remus’s reminder, I have been sick to death of “society” for decades.

That the restaurant actually placed a photo of this freak into their website speaks volumes to the social/moral disconnect these people are navigating. You’ve got the right idea… price the job way up there and wish them luck and best wishes when they choke and can’t hire you on. That there’s so many people who look like this jerk is symbolic of the times, but this is more an American disease than anywhere else. This is the planned demolition of the American Empire. It’s been going full tilt some time now, paid for and orchestrated by Soros, Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg and our Greatest Ally.
One of many reasons my vacation of choice includes mountains, trees, various bodies of water with trout in them, & few people.
