NY Governor Hochul Doubles Down on Conservative Name Calling

 

Last Minute Events Kathy Hochul says that if you vote Republican you are ”anti-woman” and “anti-American.”  Well, what else would she expect from people the Democrats call “garbage,” “Hitler”, “racist,” “fascist”, “deplorables,” who only cling to their “guns and bibles.”  Kamala Harris and the Democrats have been walking back positions they took over the last 4 years.  It’s difficult to tell where Harris stands on the 2nd Amendment, based on her contradictory statements.  I joke.  Actually, it’s not.  She will do everything possible to neuter the 2nd Amendment. Amongst the Democrat walk back positions is the border wall.  Politico, (of all places), reports:  “Rep. Gabe Vasquez (D-N.M.) once described the border wall as “a racist monument” and called for it to be torn down. Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) called it “stupid” and “useless.” Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) said a wall across the entire border would be “a gross waste of money.” Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.) called it “a silly idea.” “But all four Democrats — and several others who once opposed it —tout their commitment to border security and willingness to crack down on illegal immigration.” Could it be they are all in very contested elections and they are reading polls that indicate the vast majority of Americans disagree with these politicians’ stances on border security?  To be sure, you can count on their strong support for border security - until after the election. Harris maintains she will not ban fracking but her campaign committee says she will not approve permits – which are necessary to frack.    Proposition 1 on your ballot would add gender identity to the New York State Constitution.  Radical, left-wing activists are actively working to redefine what male and female mean. In July, H.R. 9218, the Defining Male and Female Act was introduced by Republicans in Congress. This bill would formally add the definition of “male” and “female” to the U.S. code, defining both by one’s biological sex.  HR 9218 would be in direct opposition to Proposition 1, if they both should pass. Democrats want to pass Proposition 1 while opposing HR9218.  Republicans oppose Proposition 1 and want to pass HR9218.  The Tuesday vote will determine where the country is going on the issue of boys becoming girls and using girls’ bathrooms and playing girls’ sports. Today, the NY State Regents is scheduled to lay out their plan for revised graduation requirements.  Students could qualify for diplomas by passing traditional Regents’ exams, or they could earn an occupational certificate or by volunteering for public service.  Currently, the state requires students to pass at least four exams — in English, math, history and the sciences, in order to graduate. It has been this way since 1865.  Under the new plan, passing exams would become optional. What better way to hide the failure of many government public schools, especially inner city public schools, than to do away with the measurement that demonstrates their failure. Illegal voting an issue?  In July, Congressional Republicans passed the SAVE Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. However, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has not brought it to the floor for a vote. Last week, Republicans introduced the JAIL for Alien Voters Act, which would make it a felony for illegal aliens to vote. The Biden / Harris administration is responsible for distributing absentee ballots to military service members.  Military service members are complaining that they have not received enough absentee ballots to vote before Election Day.  Representative Brian Mast (R-FL) wrote, “Other service members also stated that when a request for a federal write-in absentee ballot was made, they were told the base’s stockpile of such ballots was depleted and had not been replenished." Democrats rabidly protect the right to vote, by destroying protections against illegal voting.  But they are considerably less rabid about military service members voting. Hey, priorities are priorities! And gun owners in NY will love this: The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic submitted a criminal referral to the Department of Justice, recommending that former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo be charged with making criminally false statements to Congress. Governor Cuomo made three criminally false statements under oath: That he was not involved in reviewing or drafting the New York State Department of Health Report, which was used to counter criticisms of his administration's nursing home policies during the pandemic. That he had no discussions about a peer review of the New York State Department of Health Report. That he had no knowledge of any external individuals outside the New York State Department of Health reviewing the Report. Attorney General Merrick Garland has aggressively gone after anyone associated with Donald Trump who could be accused of making false statements or even the most minor infraction.  Will he pursue Cuomo? The mainstream media is ardently anti-Trump.  But they are no longer as meaningful as they would wish.  Joe Rogan’s interview with Donald Trump has been viewed at least 42 million times on YouTube. That number does not include people watching/listening on Spotify or X, where the interview is also available. DONATE HERE S.C.O.P.E. Shooters Committee On Political Education https://scopeny2a.org/

PRESS AND PROTESTS SHOULD CHALLENGE DEM CRIME REFORMS

 

PRESS AND PROTESTS SHOULD CHALLENGE DEM CRIME REFORMS

- by Bob Lonsberry 2024

When you call the police, they come.

But now the police have called us, and we should come.

On Friday, in the lobby of the Public Safety Building, Chief Dave Smith of the Rochester Police Department lingered somewhere between rage and heartbreak, thundering in exasperation and emotional fatigue about one more crime and one more death and one more illustration of the fact the laws and lawmakers of the state of New York are on the side of the criminals.

This involved Thomas Chase, a 92-year-old retired college professor who spent the last 30 years as a volunteer piano player at a nursing home. Chief Smith leaned into the wreckage of Mr. Chase’s car on Thursday, his lifeblood still flowing from his shattered body, and recited the Lord’s Prayer as a service at his passing.

Mr. Chase’s car had been hit by a 17-year-old blowing like hell down East Avenue in a stolen Kia.

It was the 17-year-old and two confederates and 10 minutes before they had been one side of a shootout on Maria Street. Between then and the moment of impact there had been a car change – from one stolen Kia to another – an attempt to ram a police officer, and the headlong sprint away from the screaming blue and whites.

And then the crash into a sainted elderly man the next town over.

And that was pretty sad. But, with more than 30 years on the job, Chief Smith has seen dead people before. And with his Christian faith and the cross on his uniform denoting his chaplain training, he’s prayed for victims before.

But this was different.

Because this vehicular homicide had so many accomplices. The governor, the speaker, the majority leader, Harry Bronson, Jeremy Cooney, Samra Brouk, Jen Lunsford, Demond Meeks, Sarah Clark, and all their co-conspirators in the state capital. All have blood on their hands. All the way to their elbows. They had a part in killing Thomas Chase, and in victimizing hundreds of others who were slain, raped, beaten or robbed by criminals freed and empowered by the “criminal-justice reforms” of the Democratic Party.

That 17-year-old? The one behind the wheel and behind the crime? He is a parolee – already, at 17 – who was arrested a dozen times in Rochester alone last year for stealing cars and smashing them into businesses to steal and loot. His most recent arrest was for another stolen car in the Buffalo area four weeks ago.

He has been arrested over and over and over by the police, and turned loose over and over and over by the politicians. Raise the Age, a specific piece of legislation pushed by the governor, speaker, majority leader and every member of the local Democratic delegation to the state legislature, removed him as a juvenile from any sort of real accountability. Bail Reform, a specific piece of legislation pushed by the governor, speaker, majority leader and every member of the local Democratic delegation to the state legislature, turned him loose repeatedly with nothing more than an appearance ticket. Less is More, a specific piece of legislation pushed by the governor, speaker, majority leader and every member of the local Democratic delegation to the state legislature, made it virtually impossible for his parole to be violated, even when he was charged with subsequent felony crimes.

And so he was free.

The politicians set him free.

To get in a shootout on Maria Street, to almost smash into a cop, to kill a kindly retired professor in Brighton.

And Chief Smith stood there on Friday in the lobby of the Public Safety Building fit to be tied.

He was calling for help.

And it’s our time to answer.

The direct moral culpability of specific local and state politicians must be acknowledged and protested – by the people and the press.

Dog-and-pony show appearances in the Rochester region by the governor, speaker and majority leader should be protested loudly. Let every ribbon cutting, airport press conference and glory-seeking stop by any member of this troika of lawlessness be met with pickets and protests.

And let the local press stop being lapdogs for politicians who treat them like PR functionaries. At every appearance by visiting office holders, and at every press event or public appearance of Jeremy Cooney, Samra Brouk, Harry Bronson, Demond Meeks, Jen Lunsford and Sarah Clark, let local reporters have the courage to make every question be about criminal-justice reform. If the people, sheriff, chiefs, district attorney and activists decry the carnage imposed by these reforms, why are reporters not persistent in pressing those in power on the issue?

If the press is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, no one is more comfortable, powerful, privileged or elite in this community than those who have voted to support the laws which killed Thomas Chase and others across Rochester.

This is not a partisan undertaking – math and mail-ins assure that Democrats will win every countywide and state legislative election in Monroe County for generations to come – so the press wouldn’t be hurting the Democratic Party, with which it is apparently allied, but it would be helping the people of Rochester, which whom it should be allied.

It’s time to go Ida Tarbell and Jacob Riis on this subject. Neglect by the elites – through poisonous legislation – victimizes the people of Rochester, who are disproportionately poor and non-white. Somebody should stand up for them.

And somebody should answer the call of the police.

They did their job. Over and over and over. And Thomas Chase still ended up dead.

It’s time to answer the call.

Protest all visits of senior state officials to Rochester, and make every public appearance by Democratic state legislators a press conference on criminal-justice reforms.

It’s time all of us – the people and the press – were fit to be tied.

Lehigh Valley Lube Yellow Stuff in a Bottle More Magical Black Powder Juice.

Tall oil, also called "liquid rosin" or tallol, is a viscous yellow-black odorous liquid obtained as a by-product of the Kraft process of wood pulp manufacture when pulping mainly coniferous trees. The name originated as an anglicization of the Swedish "tallolja" ("pine oil").


 Since 1995

Quote:

The Lehigh Valley Patch lubricant marketing claims that the stuff 'Cleans while you shoot' and that it is unnecessary to wipe between the shots, no independent of powder charge, rifling depth or weather conditions.


Ox-Yoke was selling LVL but it wasn't the same juice as the former is/was.

Now what has me a tad perplexed is I can not locate a MSDS sheet for this stuff.

SO we really don't know all the chemicals used in the lube. I have read various ramblings of this and that but nothing concrete.

 It is listed as a "green cleaner" listed in NYS Contract registry as Cleaners, Lubricants, Anti-Corrosion chemicals for all metals  High-Grade Soap based greases,
 Green Chemicals.

OK so it's a soap based grease. [soap has salt we see it listed as sodium chloride]

OK, lets use a cyber definition of a "soap based grease" I like cyber stuff as it keeps me from typing out of my old school books.

Tall oil is in the Oleic acid family [pine rosin] Some soap manufactures use a mix of orange citric acid + sodium chloride which makes Hydrochloric acid.

Lithium soap is a soap consisting of a lithium salt of a fatty acid. Sodium-based and potassium-based soaps are used as cleaning agents in domestic and industrial applications, whereas lithium soaps are used as components of lithium grease" or "white lithium".

Remember soap = animal fat + Lye (caustic)


  So now we maybe have a soap and liquid rosin mix to use as a patch-cleaner-preservative lube. Multiple corrosives mixed just right work well alone. So what happens when you add in heat from burning gun powder?

Good Question and one I am researching. For now here is a link to the taloil process.

https://www.tappi.org Taloil

   Another word you may encounter will be "neat soap" which is defined as:
 molten soap formed during manufacture especially after fitting and settling out of nigre and lye and used for making bars, chips, or powders.

Operation Demoralize Legal Insurrection:

Passing along news -Former SCOPE NYS Director @ Large 

Operation Demoralize

Cornell Professor William Jacobson wrote in Legal Insurrection:

A couple of weeks ago, I spoke to you about Operation Demoralize.

It’s something we’ve been tracking at Legal Insurrection since 2011 and what it is, it is a concerted effort every presidential election to suppress Republican votes by creating a narrative that it’s over. There’s nothing you can do. The momentum is with the Democrat. It’s already been written, the result.

And we know that’s not true. People are falling for it again. Now I see it all over the internet. I see it in my inbox, I see it in comments, I see it everywhere.

I just want to give you a little bit of historical perspective. On this date. August 14th, according to the Real Clear Politics national polling average, and that’s important, it’s the national average, Kamala Harris is up 1.1%. Oh my God, the sky is falling. It’s over.

By comparison on this date in 2020, Joe Biden was up by 7.7% in the same Real Clear Politics average, and on this date in 2016, Hillary was up 6.8%.

That’s the historical record. That doesn’t mean people shouldn’t be concerned. That doesn’t mean people can’t do better. That doesn’t mean really anything other than you are being played.

Polling at this time in the year is junk Polling at this time in the year predicts nothing, and you should ignore it. Now you can’t ignore it because it’s all over the place. People are constantly citing the latest poll. What I’m telling you is this is Operation Demoralize.

This is going to be a close election just like it was in 2016 and just like it was in 2020. It’s going to be 30 or 50,000 votes in this state and 20,000 votes in that state. And we’re really fighting over a handful of states for who’s going to be president, and turnout is going to be critical. It doesn’t matter if Democrats win California by 5 million votes, that’s irrelevant. What matters is Pennsylvania and Michigan, and Georgia and Arizona, and two or three other states.

And to the extent the media is able to convince you that it is all over and there’s nothing you can do, that is not in your interest as a voter.

So what I’m saying to you is: We are still in Operation Demoralize. It’s working just like it does every summer that we’ve tracked it. Shake out of it and get yourself together. There are legitimate concerns that people need to address, but this hyperbole and this hair-on-fire reaction is ridiculous. So, carry on.

And it isn’t just Jacobson saying these things.

CNN’s Harry Enten issued a warning that Donald Trump is still very much in the presidential race.

Enten said, “We put out those poll numbers yesterday…all of which showed Kamala Harris with clear momentum and enthusiasm potentially on her side. But I just want to take a step back and sort of point out we’ve kind of been here before. So, August 13, how far were the polls off in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — and this is in 2016 and 2020 — Trump was under estimated both times around and by significant margins. Take a look here, in 2016 the average poll in those states they mentioned, those Great Lakes battleground states, Trump was underestimated by nine points on average at this point in 2016. How about 2020? It wasn’t a one off, look at this: He was underestimated by five points on average.”

“And of course Kamala Harris’s advantage in those New York Times-Siena College polls were four points in each of these key battleground states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. The bottom line is this: If you have any idea- if you’re a Kamala Harris fan and you want to rip open the champagne bottle, pop that cork, do not do it…If we have a polling shift like we’ve seen in prior years, from now until the final result, Donald Trump would actually win.”

And as to the ‘enthusiasm’ that he mentioned, Enten also pointed out that polling actually shows that Republicans are slightly more likely and Democrats are slightly less likely to say they will go to the polls than they were a few months ago.
