End Times?

 

End times?

Revelations?  Current events in Israel? Conspiracy theories are on steroids. In the past few years the time between a conspiracy theory and actual information proving the theory is measured in months, even weeks.

We should count on two things. The Israelis will prevail in the end, and the SloJoe train wreck will dither.

Firearms and Car Sales

Sunset Cars, Renton, WA , a thirty something mixed race woman bought a 200,000 mile Nissan Maxima from us. Paid cash. A few days later she came back and wanted her money back. The car needed some repairs. Of course, we said no way. That was prompted, in part, by the new set of fancy aftermarket rims now on the car. Money for rims but not repairs? Maybe the rims were ‘borrowed’. No matter, late that night a small black man appeared demanding we refund his niece’s money. The manager, Al Vetters, politely declined. The man then pulled a handgun out of his coat and pointed it at Al.

Al looked at him across the counter and said, “Shoot, nigger!”

The man started shaking then said, “You are crazy”. He put away the handgun and ran from the dealership.

Al collapsed in a chair muttering, over and over, “Oh, my God”.

For those who will object to my using politically incorrect words, tough shit.  Your opinion may matter, but not to me.

On two separate occasions I saw handguns fall out of pockets as the customers were getting out of a car. What to do? Point out to the customer they lost something.


A comment I made on LL’s blog was about having a handgun pointed at me during a test drive. The dealership had a fixed test drive route that started with the salesperson driving off the lot to a nearby dead end cul- de- sac. Then you switched seats. On this occasion, the ‘customer’ was a young Caucasian male. As we exchanged positions he “presented” a p.o.s. semi-automatic, Jennings if my memory is correct, with the safety still on.  He was quickly disarmed. He was then subjected to a few blows to his snot locker and cheekbones with the butt of what was once his handgun. Since we were only a ½ mile drive from the Renton Police Department, I drove him over (pre cell phone days).

A saleslady I was acquainted with had a customer try to rape her on a test drive. Said individuals learned about messing with an Alaska fisherman’s daughter. They raise them tough in Angoon and they all carry knives.

Back in the 1980-1990’s Renton, WA had at least 16 new and/or used dealerships  within a few square miles.

Most managers I know in the biz keep a handgun handy. When I was running the sixty or so off site sales we did, I was always packing. Scofflaw that I usually am, I’ve had a CCP for decades.

YouTube Experts

Still on the subject of the car biz, do you think salespeople don’t watch all those, “How to Buy, How to Beat the Dealer’, etc. videos too?

Back in the day I always bought and read all the books on the subject and became adept at dealing with people who came in with a “book” strategy.  They usually found the best planned strategy, like war, doesn’t survive the first contact with the enemy.

Yes, I’m an election denier. This is a Colorado specific example that probably is replicated all over the country.

Ha, the old handgun trick. I was at bar in London years ago and some fool started nudging me, "I've gotta nine, gotta nine!"

I looked him right in the eye, "Excuse me?"

I do not know if his handgun fell from his pocket or not.

In hindsight, I think the individual was doing some gang initiation. Too bad he had broken fingers. US Army we were taught to grasp the slide, push back, then twist as hard as possible.

One of many reasons I'm a revolver user.

Yes, revolvers are awesome and I want more.

A buddy of mine sadly long since passed used to work at a used car joint in Memphis. There were employed two black gentlemen to wash cars and whatever and these two were always getting into it. One day they were cleaning out a recent purchase and going at each other as per usual when #1 found a rusted up single barrel shotgun in the trunk and commenced to poking at #2 with it, saying you gonna pay now, sucker, when two Memphis po-lease orificers walked out of the barbecue joint across the street and saw them. Hilarity ensued. The coppers ran across the street with revolvers drawn and yelling racial epithets and drop-it-drop-it-drop-it and cuffed the shotgun wielder who protested we was just funning, wasn't we and #2 said, shee-it, I ain't never seen this niggah before in my life which caused #1 to become quite excited.

The po-leases threw them in the car and hauled them downtown to sort it all out and the lot owner had to go down and bail them both out because they had no money and took it out of their paychecks. Ooopsie!

Good story and totally believable. I've bailed out employees more than once. Best story, one of my crew appeared on the, "Washington's Most Wanted" segment of Cops. He didn't come to work the next day.

Israel has tried several times to make peace. But Iran will not allow the Palestinians to make peace with Israel and will continue to push Hamas and Hezbolla to attack. So it is totally INSANE that BIDEN gave up that 6 Billion to Iran. This is the thank you gesture they have given. Green light to attack Israel. This is the respect they show to Biden. They don't give a Damn about Biden, they only wanted that 6 Billion they have no fear of BiDUMB at all, and it's not surprising. .

I wonder how many Hamas terrorists have been let into our country under the Democrat Party/Biden's Leadership Open Border Policies!
They don't give a Damn about Biden, they only wanted that 6 Billion they have no fear of BiDUMB at all, and it's not surprising. .

It is disgusting, and heinous that there are Harvard Student Groups are blaming Israel for Hamas barbaric terrorist attacks that have killed over 700 Israelis,
I am calling on the leadership of Harvard to immediately, and publicly condemn these vile anti-Semitic statements by these asinine Harvard student groups!
Over 700 Israelis are dead over 2,150 are wounded and 100 were taken hostage with the death toll expected to rise after Hamas terrorists fired thousands of rockets and sent dozens of militants into Israeli towns. Women, and children were DRAGGED out of their Homes, and their Cars and kidnapped, or Brutally Killed, young girls were Raped. An American Man was on the phone with his daughter in Israel as she was shot and killed by Hamas gunmen while shielding her son from their bullets.
And some of you people have been BLAMING ISRAEL for this Slaughter? These people only know what their Leftist Masters tell them -- The DISGUSTING FILTH that their teachers, their Union Masters, and their leftist political leaders tell them. They're too easily used by murderers in the region like Iran, Iraq, Russia, China, North Korea, and others. What is happening today is a direct result of policies that have been taught in our Universities for years by these Leftist Professors.
This is mainstream thinking of the left, and is essentially the policy of the Democratic party...But it's not like it wasn't predictable..
The Left has raised a generation of Brown shirts, it’s as pure and simple as that, as they are actually cheering for another Holocaust.
Shame on YOU!

Who doesn't love BBQ and Music?
Who doesn’t like a Hot Dog, and a Hamburger with all the trimming? I must admit that I do! But I like most of us Americans agree that there is a Time, and a Place for everything. Including a good BBQ!. However, this administration is so out of touch it is not deniable.
Unbelievable is one of many words to describe this event. As Israelis are being slaughtered, and dying, these Leftist politicians people are stuffing their face with BBQ and all the fixings and whooping it up to live music.
Dianne Feinstein Isn’t Even in the Ground Yet! And Joey Biden is Whooping it up Eating, and Slobbering it up with Music, while our Biggest Ally is bing bombed, and their Citizens Savagely Brutalized, and Killed by the Hundreds.
President Biden is coming under heavy fire for hosting a Barbecue at the White House Sunday afternoon while a real WAR rages in Israel and terrorists are Murdering, and holding Americans hostage.

YES, While Hamas holds Americans hostage, Joe Biden is enjoying a picnic with a live band....No, “Dr.”Jill Is not about to let a silly thing like a mass terrorist attack on a ally ruin her BBQ party..Who doesn't love a BBQ and Music? The Israelis in the desert WEREN’T having a party, they were being Killed, and Tortured, while Joe Biden was preoccupied with a cookout during a World Crisis.
Just another example of the incompetency and complacency of the worthless Potatohead’s Administration.

Ilhan Omar, that Muslim Terrorist Supporter is out of her SICK mind for accusing Israel of committing “an act of terrorism” by carrying out airstrikes against Hamas in the Gaza Strip,
The airstrikes came after Hamas and other Islamic terror groups launched hundreds of rockets into Israel, targeting cities including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Her knowing that innocents are going to be killed and civilians are going to be killed. She, and other Terrorist Supporters know it’s going to happen, and they want it to happen so they can get tweets like that and people around the world to take up their cause. The same thing happened in the US when the World Trade Center was Attacked. And we lost 3000 Americans.
On Wednesday, Israeli forces killed as many as 10 senior Hamas military figures and toppled a pair of high-rise towers housing Hamas facilities. Those offensives followed a night of rioting in the city of Lod, approximately 10 miles southeast of Tel Aviv, in which several vehicles and at least one synagogue were set ablaze.

Islamic Jihad and Hamas, have no problem putting the operation sites, the missile site, right next to a children’s nursery or a Hospital, or a residential building And so, at the end, yeah, I don’t care what happens when the Israeli Army strikes back. So this Omar Skank is probably permanently brain damaged, beyond redemption. It would be nice if we could send her to Gitmo but since we can't I hope her district snaps out of their stupor and replaces her at the ballot box.

I believe that the war that has just erupted in the Middle East is the biggest news story in decades. This is bigger than the war in Ukraine, the pandemic, 9/11 or the Iraq War. Once Israel sends troops into Gaza, the Great Middle East War will have begun. There is going to be so much death and destruction in the months ahead, and it will not just be limited to the Middle East. There will be violence in the United States and other western nations that support Israel. In fact, I believe that eventually we are going to see an explosion of terrorism in the western world unlike anything we have ever seen before.
Over the past couple of decades, vast numbers of migrants from countries where radical Islam is the dominant worldview have been allowed to relocate to western nations.
Needless to say, many of those migrants are very strong supporters of terror organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
What we just witnessed in Israel is a preview of what will eventually happen here.
And that should chill you to the core.
In one town in southern Israel, Hamas terrorists killed “at least 40 babies and kids”, and some of them were actually beheaded…

With the invasion of illegals, here at our Southern Border that has taken place exponentially since January 2021 absolutely.
The “Fundamental Transformation” Obama promised on his first day in office and the “Dark Winter” Biden promised on his first day in office are well on their way.
Biden has let in 7 Million “refugees” into the country. Unvetted and the bulk of them men of military age..
We don’t know who all of them are or what their plans are. Unbelievably stupid of our president and those that have backed his incompetent moves.
Also, It’s a pity, but I must admit that I do NOT believe anything that Joe Biden says. .
Here`s a little information for all of us th think about:.
Terrorists can’t be managed:

Anonymous said...

Hamas official Ali Baraka told Russia Today on Sunday (via the Middle East Media Research Institute) that Hamas had been secretly planning the invasion of southern Israel for two years — which would mean after President Joe Biden took office, and after the disastrous, deadly U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Hamas began planning Saturday’s terrorist attacks across Israel two years ago, according to an interview on Sunday“We have been preparing for this for two years. We have local factories for everything. We have rockets with ranges of 250 kms, 160 kms, 80 kms, 45 kms, and 10 kms,” he said in an October 8, 2023, Russia Today interview.
We have factories for mortars and their shells. We have factories for manufacturing B-7 and B-10 guns and their shells. We have factories for manufacturing Kalashnikov rifles and their bullets. We have a Russian license to produce Kalashnikov bullets in Gaza,” he added.
Baraka said Hamas was assisted by Iran — a claim for which the Biden administration it lacks direct evidence.

“Our allies are those that support us with weapons and money. First and foremost it is Iran that is giving us money and weapons. There is also Hizbullah, and the Arab and Islamic people who are standing by us,” he said.

Baraka also indicated Hamas wanted to carry out a prisoner swap with the U.S., as the Biden administration recently did with Iran — releasing $6 billion and five Iranians held in the U.S. in exchange for five Americans being held in Iran.

“There are also prisoners in the U.S. We want them. Of course. There are Hamas members sentenced for life in the U.S. We want them too. Of course. We demand that the U.S. free our sons from prisons. The U.S. conducts prisoner swaps. Only recently, it did one with Iran. Why wouldn’t it conduct a prisoner swap with us? After all, it is participating in this war,” Baraka said.

“Biden, the highest authority in the U.S., declared that he stands with Israel against Hamas and the Palestinian people. Therefore, he is a partner to this aggression, he MUST pay the price,” he said.
He bragged that only a limited number of Hamas leaders knew about the coming attack and that the group intentionally projected a “rational” image to world to hide its plans.

“We made them think that Hamas was busy with governing Gaza, and that it wanted to focus on the 2.5 million Palestinians [in Gaza], and has abandoned the resistance altogether,” he said. “All the while, under the table, Hamas was preparing for this big attack.”
“The zero hour was kept completely secret,” he said, adding, “The number of people who knew about the attack and its timing could be counted on one hand.”

Baraka expressed surprise in a separate interview at how the terrorist group was able to kidnap and slaughter so many, telling the Associated Press, “We were surprised by this great collapse.”
“We were planning to make some gains and take prisoners to exchange them. This army was a paper tiger,” he said.

A source told Al-Monitor that the original plan had been to “kill some Israelis, embarrass the IDF and return to Gaza with two or three kidnapped Israelis.”
Instead, they roamed inside Israel for more than a day, killing over a thousand Israelis and getting stuck with something like 200 abductees,” the source told the outlet. “Their success surprised them, too.”
A manual reportedly used by Palestinian Hamas terrorists has been discovered by first responders in a Toyota pickup truck used in Saturday’s attack on Israel.

Dating to October 2022, the “operational document” includes plans for a raid on Israeli towns near Gaza, including details about breaching the border fence, and about expected Israeli defenses. The plan also called for taking “prisoner soldiers, residents, and … hostages for negotiations.” The plan was circulated Thursday by “South First Responders” on Telegram.

Asked whether this was a “massive intelligence failure,” and if so, who bore responsibility, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby on Thursday said now was not the time to assign blame.

“There’s going to come a time when it’s appropriate for us to take a look back retrospectively and see what the intel picture showed us or didn’t show us, whether there’s any gaps that need to be closed. There’s going to be a time for that, and I suspect that our Israeli counterparts will do the same thing. Now is not that time. It’s just not that time,” he said.
