Riddle Me This...

Watching all the high school kid organized, completely grass roots, organic, not backed at all by national anti-gun lobbies run by middle aged billionaires, protests stemming from the Parkland Fl. school shootings has raised a very basic question and reveals some very flawed logic from the gun grabbing left.

One of the demands for increased gun control from the screeching crowd is to raise the minimum age to purchase and/or own a firearm to 21. This, presumably will make us safer. But why exactly?

Let's examine further. Raising the age to 21 would suggest that those under 21 are not mature enough to responsibly own a gun. But, the ones supposedly demanding this change are high school age kids?

Hmmm... So what they're saying here is basically, "We're too immature to own guns, but we're mature enough to shape public policy on guns."

Some are even calling for the voting age to be lowered to 16- because these kids are "so wise and should have a voice".

Does this glaring chasm in logic bother anyone else?

Under 21- responsible enough to-

• Vote at 16.
• Drive at 16.
• Live on your own at 18 (or less if you have emancipated minor status). 
• Enter into legally binding contracts.
• Get married.
• Serve in the military at 18 and be trusted with full auto rifles (real assault rifles), tanks, grenade launchers, etc.

But not responsible enough to-

• Own a rifle, shotgun, or pistol.
• Have a beer.
• Smoke a joint (if legal in your state).

Makes perfect sense.

Of course the Democrats are all for this. Anything for more Dem votes, damn the social cost.

More "Fight For $15" Job Losses On The Way

From Fox News online today:

Jack in the Box CEO: Swapping cashiers for robots 'makes sense' due to minimum wage increase

The CEO of fast-food restaurant Jack in the Box said “it just makes sense” to replace cashiers with robots due to the minimum wage increase in California.

"As we see the rising costs of labor, it just makes sense" to swap cashiers with kiosks where customers can order their food themselves, CEO Leonard Comma said Tuesday at the ICR Conference in Orlando, Fla., Business Insider reported.

However, Comma said that while his fast-food restaurant has tested products with technological advances at their establishments, he has decided to not go forward with the kiosks.

California, where Jack in the Box is based, will raise its minimum wage to $11 in 2018 and again in 2023 to $15. California and 18 other states have proposed to raise their respective minimum wages, Grub Street reported.

Jack in the Box was not the only fast-food joint to consider using robots in replacement for cashiers. Wendy’s said it would be installing the kiosks in the next year and McDonald’s also announced they were planning to install the kiosks to 2,500 restaurants. However, McDonald’s vowed they would not be swapping cashiers for the self-automated machines.

Smaller fast-food chains such as CaliBurger and Eatsa have already started making the entire restaurant automated, Business Insider reported.

As a way to cut costs before the minimum wage increase, Red Robin announced Tuesday they would be cutting bus boys from 570 restaurants in order to save the company money.

The Victim Card

Fact: Having been a victim at one point in your past does not make you a victim in perpetuity. It doesn't make you immune from being called out on your hypocrisy for your actions (or inaction) now.

If members or your race, gender, or ethnicity are now or have ever been legitimately victimized, but you personally have not, you cannot play the victim card by extension.

The Dems are being taken down by a monster of their own creation

The Dems are being taken down by a monster of their own creation.

The last decade or so of promoting hyper sensitivity by women and painting all men as sexual predators through incessant virtue signalling and faux outrage is finally backfiring on the Democrats.

I believe the strategy for the progressives started out as a way to ingratiate themselves with women voters. Pandering to the more radical feminists among them, whipping them up to get the vote out for the Democrats.

Promoted ideas like "Women must be believed" (without question) have led to the current state of play where a mere allegation, totally unfounded from even decades ago, is enough to destroy a career. Allegations have been weaponized.

Of course when allegations could be used as political weapons, they were. Investigative journalists (or muck raking partisan political hacks IMO) have been busy hunting down any women they can find who has ever known a Republican politician or conservative candidate. They beat the bushes for anyone willing to "bravely come forward" with an allegation of sexual misconduct to take them down.

Unfortunately for the liberals, many of the biggest perverts are turning out to be Democrat politicians (shocker) and it's not only liberal women who are now ready to "bravely come forward".

It's gonna be a bloodbath. Sit back and enjoy the show.

Jobless Future: Shake Shack’s Humans Out, Robots In

This is the future the Left is bringing with ridiculous "living wage" laws:

Jobless Future: Shake Shack’s Humans Out, Robots In

Tim Pearce - Energy Reporter

Via The Daily Caller 9:27 PM 10/04/2017

A new Shake Shack opening up in New York City’s East Village is trading human cashiers in for robots in order to pay the rest of the shop’s employees a $15 an hour wage.

The newest building is an experiment that Shake Shack management hope will direct the future of the company. They want to attract a more skilled and committed workforce by automating some jobs and paying higher wages to the rest, the New York Post reports.

Viva Mexico!

So yesterday (Sept 16th) was Mexico's independence day. All over the United States there were parades and public celebrations full of Mexican expatriates waving Mexican flags and loudly proclaiming "Viva Mexico!" at the tops of their lungs. Much Bud Light was consumed.

There were also coordinated protests against President Trump and his (sort of) ending of DACA- the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program started by President Obama.

Former Mexican Presidente Vicente Fox even took the opportunity for yet another rant against Trump for treating so badly the millions of his people who had to leave the wonderful, just, and kind country he ran for our cruel, racist, xenophobic, Nazi run hell hole in America to be our brown minimum wage slaves.

Viva Mexico! Green Cards For Everyone!

Every year during Mexico Independence day and Cinco de Mayo when Mexican citizens (some here legally and others not) choose to celebrate their "great" homeland on American soil, I can't help but think about the fact that if Mexico is so wonderful, why do millions of it's citizens feel the need to leave it for the U.S.A.?

The answer of course is obvious. It just seems silly and incredibly disrespectful to their adopted country that our politicians continue to tell us they love and want to make their home. Doesn't it?

Has any American President ever been treated with such disrespect?

Yesterday I was searching Amazon for a gift for my mom. I was using the search term "gift for a woman" and this came up in the results:

Yes, it is a Trump "pencil holder" and yes, the pencil is stuck up his ass!

OK, so let me preface this rant by stating my current feelings on Donald Trump. I'm not a fanboy. I voted for Trump but was never "on the Trump Train" as they say. I voted for Trump because the alternative was truly unthinkable. 

So far Trump has mainly let me down as far as the expectations I had going in. His attitude and seeming inability to let the small shit go has hurt him terribly IMO. However he has accomplished some good things- getting a conservative SCOTUS appointment approved is at the top in my opinion and was the key reason I voted for him. 

Basically, I support President Trump and really want him to succeed for the good of the country. I don't see how wanting him to fail benefits anyone in our society. I'm not going to blindly defend him like some do. If he fucks up, I'll call him on it.

When I see something as absurd as this "gag gift" it really makes me angry though. I mean, the level of disrespect towards Trump is just off the charts. It triggers my sense of fair play, and this is way over the edge in political humor. This is just another example of how the anti-Trump crowd has totally lost their fucking minds. 

I sent a couple Tweets to Amazon about this asking sarcastically- "I can't seem to find the Obama with a pencil up his ass figurine. Can you help me?" But I've received no response.

Although Amazon is not the seller of this product, they do stock it in their warehouses and distribute it. In my opinion this needs to be pulled and products screened more carefully. This is outrageous.

Millennial Wars Episode IV - A New Hope

I get really depressed at the reality that our future is in the hands of Millennials. I mean, come on, they're fucking idiots.

But every once in a while there is a glimmer of hope. Hope that there are a few of them who actually "get it" and aren't the lock-step mindless morons who willingly enslave themselves to Liberal PC culture.

I saw this video and young women like this keep that hope alive in me.

The Stupid Shit Leftists Choose To Get Upset About

A couple days ago President Trump hosted representatives from Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the Oval Office of the White House.

Instead of focusing on the significance of this meeting, Libtards chose to focus on Kellyanne Conway who was sitting casually on a sofa with her legs tucked under her.

The "Twitterverse" lit up with all kinds of tweets slamming her and Trump for "allowing such disrespect and lack of decorum" in the Oval Office. Oh, the outrage!

This is the shit they choose to focus on. Trivial nonsense.

I wonder if any of these idiots had any problem with President Clinton's disrespect and lack of decorum in the Oval Office when he was getting blowjobs and sticking his cigars up Monica Lewinski's snatch there.
