Ron’s in fine form today and even enclosed images. More work for me to post.

Ron on.

Eliminating racism is about as practical an idea as eliminating Islam. It’s in our nature to feel safer and more comfortable around people who look like us, act like us, think like us, talk like us. Racism is a fact of life. The trick is learning to live with it. Don’t know how to do that? Ask a Marine, or an Army vet from Afghanistan, or a Navy vet from ‘Nam.

Eliminating hatred is no more reasonable an idea than eliminating gambling, or alcoholism, or addiction. It’s simply a fact of human nature, usually based on ignorance and fear, just as gambling is based on greed and thrill. Deal with it.

Eliminating terrorism is no more achievable an idea than eliminating ignorance, or religion, or zealotry. It’s the way we are. When we don’t get our way, we throw a tantrum. And terrorism’s fuel is mass media.

This is all really quite simple when observed from a reasonable distance:

1. The primary motive of the rich and powerful is maintenance of the status quo. Washington politicians are FAR more interested in re-election than making America great again.

Truman was the last president to leave office and not be a millionaire…GOC

2. Racism will never disappear from America as long as powerful people profit from it.

3. Hatred is not instinctive; it is learned behavior. Black and brown children are being indoctrinated by their teachers today to hate white children because of the color of their skin.

4. Terrorism is born in ignorance, nourished by fear, and augmented by propaganda.

Most of the people tearing down statues and monuments and demanding that private citizens get rid of their personal symbols of the Confederacy don’t even know the stories behind the symbols. What’s worse, they don’t want to HEAR it.

Judge Taney, for example, was born in 1777 and simply wrote a controversial ruling on the Dred Scott case that reflected both the law of the land and public opinion when he was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Also, he was a Democrat, and although he inherited slaves, he freed them and provided pensions to the older ones. By the time the Civil War erupted, he was a decrepit old man who died before it ended.

And as for the monument to the women of the Confederacy, all it shows is two women supporting their men, one of whom has fallen in battle. What the hell’s wrong with that?

Many of the statues and monuments have been around for over a hundred years, during which time conditions for minorities have steadily improved to the point that American blacks live better than blacks in any country in Africa, particularly those run by blacks.

What’s going on here is that blacks who NEVER were slaves, or even SAW a black slave in this county, are rumbling against white people who aren’t Nazis and never WERE Nazis, and it’s all because someone wanted to take down a statue of a confederate general, which was originally erected by Democrats, because they have a compelling need to rewrite history so they can win the next election. And what’s funny about it is that they’re blaming it all on Trump.

When white people protest things, they’re immediately called “Racist!” “Nazi!” and so on. When blacks riot, loot, murder, destroy property, and even rape, the media refer to it as “justice.”

No simple, complete solution exists for solving the mess that racism, terrorism, hatred, and all the rest have brought into society. But one really good start would be to simply stop advertising and propagating it in the mass media.

When a group of troublemakers of ANY ethnic or political group arm themselves and begin injuring or killing people who disagree with them and destroying private and public property in the meantime, don’t sensationalize it. Merely report that a large number of unruly, ignorant, misled, disgruntled malcontents disturbed the peace and made great bloody nuisances of themselves.

Do NOT broadcast clips or photos on national television of arson, assault, profanity, nudity, destruction of property, or other activities performed for no other reason than that elusive 15 minutes of fame or notoriety that all troublemakers long for.

State only that they represent a tiny minority of radical agitprops, where they came from, who funded their activities, and which ones were arrested. The only result from broadcasting their violence and destruction and hatred on a national level will not be to change the hearts and minds of people across the country but encourage me-too-ism, the monkey-see/monkey-do copycats who might never have thought of such behavior had it not been suggested over and over and over for them on TV.

Local television and print media can record and disseminate names, pictures, damage estimates, and so on because only the people in the immediate area will be directly affected by riots, street blockages, fires, rapes, gunfire, and so on.

Blaming Trump for whatever he did or didn’t say about whomever last weekend makes about as much sense as Soetoro’s blaming Dubya for everything that went wrong in the first 5 years of his tenure, when in fact most of the racial tension in the country today can be traced back to Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro’s knee-jerk reactions to professor Gates, TrayvonMartin , Eric Garner, Michael Brown, and Freddie Gray.

Ron off.

Are you as tired as I am of the left demanding that Trump disavow the Nazis and the KKK? JHFC! He’s done it over and over but it’s never enough for these assholes, including the Never Trumpers like McRINO and Mittens Romneycare, whom I’ll get to later.

The fracas in Charlottesville can be blamed on both sides but the whining RINOs and the left have it mostly wrong. The people mostly to blame for the fracas were the Antifa thugs and goons. This was a peaceful protest. The protesters had a permit for their protest. It didn’t matter if they were racists or bigots their speech was protected by the Constitution, yannow that document that the left hates. It’s the left that wants to stifle free speech. It’s the left that wants to silence those they do not agree with. Whatever happened to “I may not agree with what you say but I’ll fight to the death for your right to say it”?

As I said, it was a peaceful protest until the Antifa thugs showed up. They came armed with cement Coke cans, homemade flame throwers, and clubs. They were the ones who instigated the violence. And the Dimocrat governor and the Dimocrat mayor told the national guard and the cops to stand down because they wanted violence to ensue so they could blame it on the right. And we have some virtue signaling assholes like John McRINO and Mittens Romneycare who are joining in and blaming the victims rather than the real people involved in the scuffle. Two losers. McRINO lost because he ran as a Dimocrat and Mittens lost because he let Candy Crowley roll him in a debate. He was actually winning up until that time and he wimped out the rest of the campaign. This is why so many Republicans lose. Virtue signalers gotta virtue signal.

It’s not the right who has rioted and broken windows and damaged cars and other personal property. It’s the Antifa thugs. It wasn’t Trump supporters responsible for violence after his rallies. It was Bernie’s Brown Shirts who instigated that violence. Fortunately the anarchists of Antifa and Black Lives Matter have their own propaganda arm, the Fake News Media. Disgusting!

Now we have leftists and virtue signalers on the right standing on the grave of the woman who died trying to blame Trump and his supporters. Isn’t it funny that when someone on the left or a Moslem kills someone he is a “lone wolf” but let some whack job on the right do it and everyone on the right is tarred with the same brush? Sarah Palin was blamed for the Giffords shooting even as late as this year for which she is suing the NewYork Slimes (Motto: All the fake news that’s fit to print).

As to the guy in the Challenger responsible for the death I would like to hear the entire story. Were the leftist protesters throwing rocks and beating on his car before this happened? Was he trying to get away? I doubt we’ll ever get the real story on that because if he were it wouldn’t fit the narrative.

We are in a cold civil war and it is heating up and it’s the leftists who are doing it. They are trying to destroy the country that I grew up in and we have “Republicans” who are aiding and abetting them. Trump had nothing to do with these protesters. On the other hand Schmuck Schumer, ex-Speaker Blinky, Thunder Rodent Thighs, and other Dimocrats do have something to do with the real hate groups, Antifa and Black Lives Matter. No one ever asks them to disavow those hate groups.

I cry for my beloved country, especially because of the pandering to 13% of the population that we continue to do. More on that in another post.

Madison Rising has a new song out.

Remember, if it weren’t for double standards, the left would have no standards at all. Let’s look what happened in Charlottesville over the weekend. It would have been a peaceful protest if the counter-protesters hadn’t shown up. That’s when the violence started. And where were the cops? Why didn’t they get in between the two groups to prevent the violence? Could it be that the Dimocrat governor of Virginia, the slimy Terry McAuliffe and the Dimocrat mayor of Charlottesville wanted violence so they could blame it on the right as they always do?

So we had one whackjob who drove his car into some leftist protesters and all white people are to blame for this? Dimocrats and virtue signaling Republicans demand Trump denounce “right wing hate groups”. It’s funny that no one demanded Obungler, Crooked Cankles, and other leading Dimocrats to denounce the violence and the hate of Black Lives Matter and Antifa. Black Lives Matter has killed more people than the “right wing hate groups”. And, it doesn’t matter what Trump sez. It will never be enough.

We’re told not to condemn all Moslems when one of them kills a bunch of infidels, yet let one wacko in a Charger kill someone and everyone on the right up to and including Donald Trump is to blame. The same goes with Black Lives Matter. If black lives really mattered, these racist assholes would be on the streets of Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis and all of the other cities where blacks are killing each other and demanding that the killing stop. BLM is nothing more than a racist hate group that is inspiring cop killers. One of them kills five cops in Dallas and Obumbler sez, “Unfortunately it’s going to be very hard to untangle the motive” of the shooter. Can you imagine the shitstorm if Donald Trump said that about the Charger dude?

Remember the violence at Trump rallies? It was never caused by the Trump supporters. It was caused by the Brown Shirt protestors who beat up Trump supporters after the rallies yet somehow Trump was responsible. Where were the calls for Thunder Rodent Thighs and Bernie Sanders to renounce the violence? There are never calls for leftist leaders to renounce or condemn the violence of their followers but leaders on the right are always called on to denounce right wing groups that often have nothing to do with them.

I just wonder how much longer the country is gonna put up with these double standards. We are entering a cold civil war. The left is playing with fire. If it turns into a hot war they are in deep shit. Guess who has all of the guns? Guess who knows how to use them?

This one is from Tom B.

I should have posted this last week for Sunday Metal since it’s an electric version of the Bach Prelude in C Minor which I posted for Saturday Bach. This might interest you Claudia.

This cutie is from Latvia.

I’ve never seen a guitar played in this position.

I was gonna give this week’s award to some racist black chick who was scared to death when entering a Cracker Barrel full of white people, but she was beaten out by this asshole who comes from Atlanta. He hates cops and the military.

For the year and a half that it has been open, the East Atlanta Varsity Barbell Club — a gym that labels itself the “weightlifting island of misfit toys” — has been outfitted with cheeky, provocative signs.

The signs have jabbed at other strength training programs such as CrossFit, promoted the gym’s slogans (“Lift weights, get high, smash capitalism”) and drawn attention to causes it supports, such as the Black Lives Matter movement.

And always, the gym has advertised its controversial membership policy: no police or active military allowed. That rule has appeared on signs with varying wording, including “MAKE COPS ILLEGAL AGAIN” and “THIS IS A COP-FREE ZONE.”

Sounds like he doesn’t like cops.

But surprisingly, at a time in the country rife with tension over police conduct, the ban had never drawn much outside condemnation — until this week, when owner Jim Chambers updated the gym’s outside sign with a simplified set of rules that included an expletive describing “cops.”

Actually it said, “no fucking cops”.

A military veteran reported the sign to NBC affiliate 11 Alive News, which aired a story Tuesday, according to the station. Chambers said he took down the controversial sign before the television crew arrived. Nevertheless, he has received “hundreds” of death threats since the airing, he told The Washington Post.

Too bad. Fucking whiny liberal.

On Thursday, Chambers said USA Weightlifting suspended the gym’s membership.

Actions have consequences.

“I don’t apologize for the language,” Chambers said, explaining that his gym members are diverse and include people who have had “bad experiences with cops.”

AKA black criminals.

It’s funny that I couldn’t find this story in the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation. I wonder why? Is Jim Chambers a member of the Cox Chambers family that owns the AJC? Here’s your award Jim.

Pres sent me this one.
