4th Amendment

The Democrats in the House of Representatives are demanding all kinds of information from anyone remotely connected with President Trump’s campaign.

I think we all understand this is the tactic of ‘lawfare’ and death by a thousand cuts.

What I don’t understand is how they can do this, a fishing expedition, in view of the clearly stated 4^th Amendment ,  the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, PAPERS, and effects…….

Wouldn’t the proper response to these tyrants be, “Come back with a warrant, signed by a judge?”

Since most of Congress are attorneys, could complaints for misconduct/malfeasance be filed with every bar association they belong?  Make them at least answer.

These assholes need to feel some pain beyond the small risk of them losing the next election. How?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Tis' A Privilege To Live In Colorado

Virtual Mirage http://symbolic-mirage.blogspot.com is promoting the concept of global cooling and the coming ice age. He may be right given what is happening in the Colorado Mountains.

Roads are closed everywhere and some communities nearly isolated (Leadville, Silverton).

Living on the Western side of the Divide, winters are rated by the number of wires covered on a four strand barbed wire fence. A normal winter is a ‘three wire’. A bitch of a winter is when the posts are covered. A ‘one or two’ wire winter means no irrigating water come summer.

Leading up to February, a ‘two wire’ seemed to be happening. Now? Irrigating water won’t be short.

This winter’s weather pattern has shifted South. Wyoming is having a mild (by Wyoming standards) winter. Arizona? Read LL’s blog.

The topography of Colorado is such that many highways are built in the bottom of canons or alongside cliffs. I-70 through Glenwood Canyon is a good example or Red Mountain Pass. In addition to avalanches, rock slides often block the highway with rocks the size of small houses coming down. As we get deeper into Spring with freeze/thaw cycles, look out!

Not all the news is bad. Thirty days or longer of sub-zero weather goes a long ways to killing off the pine beetles.

A really great winter would be avalanches engulfing the imported (P)regressives infesting the mountain towns IMO. YMMV

Old School

Old school - still the best. The most enduring lesson from my 50+ years ago military experience. 

Use this stuff all the time. Most recently to clean a cooktop stove.

Ghouls

An area man murdered his pregnant wife and two young daughters. You will not read his name here. He confessed, plead guilty, and will die in prison. 50-50 chance of old age or being offed by another prisoner.

Recently “details” of just how he killed them, step by step, has been released and disseminated worldwide (Daily Mail tabloid, for example).

What public good is served with this? Titillate ghouls? Fuck’em.

Three people are dead. The details rob them of any dignity. Yes, they are dead. The people who knew them and loved them are not.

Law enforcement, coroners, judges and juries need to know these kinds of details. Nobody else. It is a matter of respect. Why are accident victims covered with a blanket by first responders? Respect.

On a personal level I’ve seen enough gore that I won’t gawk at an accident scene. Eyes focused on navigating the scene, avoiding hitting pedestrians, and avoiding the damn lookylous.

Worse still, the local rag keeps running with the story for days. Sick IMO. YMMV

Political Winds

Too long without a political rant. Must fix that.

The Democrats have traditionally relied on three voter ‘blocs’, Blacks, Hispanics (excluding Cubans) and Jews.

Under Trump, Black and Latino unemployment is way down. Polling shows shifts away from the Democrats by both groups.

Now we have Muslim congress critters spouting Anti-Semitism over and over. You don’t hear Democrat leadership coming down on them, even Chucky. Tacit approval?

 How is that playing around the Jewish community? Might we see them #WalkAway?

Of course, it is horrible for a deplorable such as me to write about this subject in blunt terms.  Don’t like it? Kiss my deplorable ass.

See where the Southern Preposterous Lie Center is now being sued more frequently. Good thing, that, IMO.

I’ve said before I don’t like President Trump on a personal level. I do like the job he is doing and support him. If he has done nothing else, he saved us from Shillary!

Not ready for Pebble Beach. Neat, just the same.

Didn't see the owner. Didn't have time to wait around.

Well Shucky Darn

First weekend of the month and move in/move out time. Sucks when it happens during a March blizzard and -5°.

Sure glad it wasn't me!
