I'll admit it: I'm a news junkie. I follow it pretty much all day. And lately there's been a lot that I've found very interesting, or had something to say about (you can tell by the length of this post) Be prepared for some politics, so skip it if you don't like all that.
Cow escapes slaugherhouse to live on island
THIS one made me laugh. Nobody had a clue where this thing went for a solid month. They just knew it was gone. All I can think about is a cow-in-hiding peeking through the bushes.
Virginia woman killed by her own pitbulls
I hate pitbulls. There, I said it. I think they're about as trustworthy as a pet cobra. So when I saw THIS in the news the other day, I was saddened for the loss, but furious at the dogs. Those things are mentally unstable. The big thing nowadays is to say "[whiny voice] It's all in the way you train them." That's a bunch of crap. Isabelle Dinoire, the first patient of a successful face transplant, had to have that surgery because her pitbull mix ate her face off in her sleep. She later died from complications. Those things are wacko. Get a dog, not a beast.
Venezuala is burning
The people there are eating whatever they can find, and we still have people here who think socialism is cool?
Continued anti-Christian rhetoric
The degree with which people hate Christianity has been astounding me lately. What I find even scarier is that my friends who listen to left-wing media are clueless about this when I ask them about it. Check out what The View had to say about Mike Pence's Christianity. A mental illness? Remember that the left wants to brand Christians as mentally ill when you read my last topic at the bottom of the page.
Or what about what's been said since Billy Graham died recently? People have been applauding it, saying he was WICKED, and the fake news HATES him too. There is a war against Christians brewing, and it is gaining traction.
Maine man fights off bear
When I saw this, I thought it was the greatest thing ever. This dude was willing to go MMA on a black bear that was attacking his puppy WITHOUT A SINGLE WEAPON. That's a straight up man right there.
Korean War Vet fights off 5 men with knives
Keep this story in mind as you continue reading on. An 88 year old man saw a woman being attacked by 5 dudes with knives. He took out 2, getting stabbed in the process, but sent the entire pack running off potentially saving that girl from being raped and from death. This is what true men do.
The Florida school shooting
This has been huge in the news lately, and rightfully so. The big question being, how do we prevent this from happening again? The most common answer being pushed in the main stream media right now is increased gun control. The assumption being that increased government control = less problems.
For starters, a lot of people are saying that the mentally ill should not be able to access firearms. Does that hold up in this case? The FBI (part of the government) was notified that this kid was wacko well in advance. What did they do? Nothing. So, does this increased control really help? When will we admit that some people are just wicked? Not everything bad happens from a mentally ill person. Most are just the actions of evil men. Society seems to reject that notion at the moment though. At least Mike Rowe agrees with me on this one though.
What about hardening up soft targets? Putting officers at every school? Even that didn't work here. We have reports of the officer who was stationed at the school being too afraid to enter the building. Kids are inside being slaughtered, and the coward won't go in and take the bad guy out. What are you gonna do if the people you hire to protect you aren't willing to?
(I find this somewhat reminiscent of the amount of time it took the cops to enter the Pulse nightclub in Orlando as well.)
The school seemed to know that the kid was unwell, I mean they sent out emails saying not to allow the kid to bring a backpack to school, but even that didn't pan out. Bad guys don't follow the rules, and this is a prime example of it.
What would have stopped this though? Teachers carrying is the first thing that comes to mind. How do you stop a bad guy with a gun? By hiding under a desk? By calling the police? By throwing shoes? Good luck. The best way has always been and still remains to be the good guy with a gun.
The PE teacher, who is an absolute hero, gave his life for those kids. Teachers clearly care about their students. If given the chance to protect and fight for not only themselves but their students as well when the worst nightmare happens, I guarantee you they would gladly take up arms and fight without giving it a second thought. Bad guys tend to react differently when bullets are flying back at them.
Are guns evil? I love what THIS piece has to say on the matter.
