The title is a quote from Sybrina Fulton, mother of Trayvon Martin. Of course now we have this.
They’re now claiming George Zimmerman sexually molested somebody when he was 9, and they’re talking about Zimmerman arming himself in the aftermath of the shooting….you know when a bounty was put on his head, and people were calling for him to be murdered.
There are people who want George Zimmerman dead, guilty, innocent or otherwise, and they appear determined to do it by any means.
A five-year-old ban on the use of trans fats in New York City restaurants has sharply reduced the consumption of these unhealthy fats among fast-food customers, a study by city health officials has found.
In 2007, the New York City Board of Health, spurred on by the administration of Mayor Michael Bloomberg, adopted a regulation that forced restaurants to all but eliminate the use of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils and spreads, the main sources of trans fats in the U.S. diet.
The ban appears to have had the intended effect. A new analysis of thousands of lunch receipts, collected at fast-food chains before and after the ban went into effect, estimates that the average trans fat content of customers’ meals has dropped by 2.5 grams, from about 3 grams to 0.5 grams.
Go figure, ban an ingredient, and people consume less of it.
BTW look all over the article and look for ANY data on how Healthy New Yorkers are. You won’t find it. Even if Trans-Fat is the horrible poison the people with no biology or medicinal background say, the average person consumes very few calories per day from trans fats.
I like to chuckle about these stupid trend in “Magic Food”. When I grew up we would always have a tub of yellow margarine, because butter is bad for you. Now, margarine is nearly pure trans-fat and a horrible poison, and butter is the “natural fat”.
Of course they’re all pure fat, which should be consumed in moderation. BTW I prefer extra virgin olive oil…not because its a “poly-unsaturated fat”, but because it tastes good…and we use butter for all other applications…because it tastes good.
Of course this is all just a political version of the Grapefruit Diet, just ban some demon food, and TA-DA! Everybody is healthy. (Note the study also notes the NYC large-cap soda ban)
Of course I can sit on my couch all day and eat whole wheat bread dipped in olive oil all day long and wash it down with unsweetened green tea, and have a sensible meal of chicken and vegtables, and then go back to the couch to snack some more…and I’ll blow up like a blimp and suffer horrible health consequences.
Or I could have a few donuts made from trans fat after I jog, and before I start lifting weights, and watch my calories and keep active and be perfectly healthy….but that would be letting people live their own lives, and “Progressives” HATE that!
A speeding pickup truck driver killed two young brothers from Texas and injured their father and another boy when he lost control of his vehicle and drove over their tent at a North Dakota campground near the Canadian border, the Highway Patrol said Monday.
Trooper Capt. Gary Orluck said the 30-year-old driver from Newburg was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after the 1 a.m. Sunday accident at the Hahn’s Bay Campground at Lake Metigoshe in Bottineau.
“He was driving too fast on a campground road, lost control and ran over the tent and crashed into a tree,” Orluck said.
Of course “Progressives” seem to have a seething hatred of pickup trucks, because they get by just fine with hybrids, SUVs, and Minivans…so maybe they’d be willing to ban pickup trucks because they’re commonly driven by “Those People”.
Still the chances of them saying ANYTHING is slim because only “Gun Death” counts, right?
Ladd Everit of CSGV gives a crazy rant to a visiting group of schoolkids.
He’s angry and unhinged, as well as a liar. If he likes the UK so much, hes welcome to leave.
Of course comments and ratings of this video are removed, but the big laugh is he’s giving this rant to a bunch of Brit school kids who likely know nothing about guns, nor care, and are probably bored to tears by his foolishness.
So our friend, troll, and hypocrite Jason Kigore AKA: “Baldr Odinson” has a blog. Like most antis his talking points are so paper thin that he was forced to remove his comment section (to save him time from simply deleting all comments on his blog).
Still he dropped some whoppers, so I feel the need to rebut. First this gem:
I’ve been asked to guest-blog over at the MikeB302000 blog for the rest of the month while Mike is on vacation. I’m happy to do so, alongside the other bloggers there, Dog Gone and Laci. I’m happy to do so. I’m not going to re-post all of my posts there, but here is one I posted there today….
Well first his standards are AMAZING! He’s happy to blog for an admitted criminal, addict, and drug dealer who both illegal owned guns and committed who knows how many felonies…but doesn’t find that to be relevant to the discussion of gun control. That says a ton right there (also the comment section is all but non-existent there as well), but let’s get to the meat!
I love the mental backflips the gun guys do in their opposition to putting suspected terrorists on the NICS background check prohibition list. And then THIS happens…..
Well we talked about the “Terror Watch List” here pointing out what an abomination the “Terror Watch List” is. First A) even if it did contain dyed-in-the-wool Terrorists, its all done without court convictions, and even a set definition of what exactly a “Terrorist” is. I call them “Anti-Rights”, not just “Anti-Gun” because they’re just as against due process and other individual rights as they are against people owning guns. Of course B) Many real-deal terrorists were never on the list, and C) Most of the people ON the list are NOT terrorists, and likely never will be terrorists.
So yeah, thems are some CRAZY backflips there Jason Fake-name! Oh but let’s not skip this one:
If he had just stuck to buying semi-auto handguns, rifles, or assault rifles, and as much ammo as he could afford, he wouldn’t have actually been breaking the law. Lucky for us, he wanted a machine gun and grenades.
And if a “terrorist” doesn’t commit any acts of violence or terror…well they won’t be breaking the law either…and we have no problem. Also I’m not being so stupid as to say that one needs to actually start killing people before the law can do ANYTHING….but Jason knows that too, as he was one of the many antis talking about this story , where an officer is suspended and possibly facing charges over TALKING about killing Michelle Obama.
And he closes with pure irony:
Haters, like terrorists and insurrectionist gun nuts, love to come together on social media. They aren’t mainstream enough to find enough like-minded pals in real life.
Kilgore is pretty much the sole proprietor of “Cease Fire Oregon”, and writes a blog with almost no readership, and has no public support at all. Let’s just re-post this video:
Yeah us gunnies don’t have a leg to stand on…and we’re all terrorists. *snicker*
Geraldo Rivera became notorious for blaming teen shooting victim, Trayvon Martin, for wearing the wrong clothing, saying that the hoodie he was wearing was what led George Zimmerman to stalk and shoot to death the unarmed boy. Said Rivera, “I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death as George Zimmerman was”
Yeah because Rivera has never said anything stupid, or totally bet the farm on something that wasn’t true.
Hey but let’s ignore that in Zimmerman’s initial 911 call, and post-shooting interview points out that he was concerned about Martin because he was aimlessly walking in the rain in a way that looked to him like casing houses in a neighborhood that had recently had a number of break-ins, and Zimmerman expressed concerns that he might be on drugs. Also before Zimmerman got out of his car Martin had both A) checked him out, and B) took off running (but for some reason didn’t run to his nearby home, but instead doubled back).
Zimmerman got out of his car and attempted to locate him for the Police who were en route…when Martin came back and attacked him. He was shot as he was beating Zimmerman’s head into the pavement.
All of that had EVERYTHING to do with his fucking sweatshirt.
One of the Downsides of the FN SCAR platform is that the reciprocating charging handle can interfere with low-mounted optics when working the charging handle.
Everybody predicted that this would be solved in aftermarket….it was.
