Oh, BTW. The Atlanta police officers have walked off the job.

Posted on June 18, 2020 by On the North River

Shot: Two weeks ago, the DA in Atlanta who’s currently charging Officer Garrett Rolfe in the Rayshard Brooks case charged police officers with aggravated assault for using a taser on protesters.

“A taser is considered a deadly weapon under Georgia law”

Chaser: Georgia Bureau of Investigation says it was blindsided by Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard and unaware of plan to file charges against the officers involved in the Rayshard Brooks case while the agency was still conducting its investigation.

In some areas of Atlanta, the only police presence are the Georgia State Police and Country Sheriff units.  No APD.  There is no count of the total numbers of officers that have walked off the job.  The police unions are contacting the nearby Sheriff departments and asking them to refuse to respond to pleas from Atlanta for help. One statement says, “If they want to see what a city without police looks like, let them see it now”.

Other local media are seeing evidence of the walkout.

Atlanta INtown reports, “A drive around Zone 6 indicated there was not the usual APD presence. A Georgia State Patrol unit was handling a two-car accident at Boulevard and Edgewood Avenue around 9 p.m. The APD’s precinct at Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center appeared empty. Down in Grant Park, the Zone 3 precinct was populated by Fulton County Sheriff units.”

The organization formerly known as “The Boy Scouts of America” declare support for BLM.

Posted on June 17, 2020 by On the North River

BSA: “This is not a political issue; it is a human rights issue and one we all have a duty to  address….”

(from the comments…SM)

Well, let me address it. BLM is a violent, racist organization that believes that, in the USA, black people should be allowed to kill white people. See….Michael Brown….Trayvon Martin…

And let me add, in the course of their assaults; the black people should not be hindered, victims should not fight back, police should not use any of the weapons issued to them.   And if a victim or a police officer does injure or kill a black person in self-defense or in the line of duty, then that white person (including ‘honorary white persons’ such as white-hispanic or white-asian) should be jailed and charged with the most ridiculous over-the-top charges that the Law (doesn’t) allows.

SON IS TELLING THE SAD TRUTH – NEVER SAID BETTER

Time is like a river.  You cannot touch the water twice, because the
flow that has passed will never pass again.  Franklin Graham was
speaking at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville , Florida ( On Jan. 30, 2015) , when he
said America will not come back.  He wrote:

“The American dream ended on November 6th, 2012.  The second term of
Barack Obama has been the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of
the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled
and developed the greatest republic in the history of mankind.

A coalition of blacks, Latinos, feminists, gays, government workers,
union members, environmental extremists, the media, Hollywood ,
uninformed young people, the “forever needy,” the chronically
unemployed, illegal aliens and other “fellow travelers” have ended
Norman Rockwell’s America .

You will never again out-vote these people.  It will take individual
acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get
back the rights we have allowed them to take away.  It will take
zealots, not moderates and shy, not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs
(Republicans In Name Only) to right this ship and restore our beloved
country to its former status.

People like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will
probably never again be able to legally comment on or concern myself
with the aforementioned coalition which has surrendered our culture,
our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired.

The Cocker spaniel is off the front porch, the pit bull is in the back
yard, the American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky’s
“Rules for Radicals” and the likes of Chicago shyster David Axelrod
along with international socialist George Soros have been pulling the
strings on their beige puppet and have brought us Act 2 of the New
World Order.

The curtain will come down but the damage has been done, the story has
been told.

Those who come after us will once again have to risk their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that
this generation has timidly frittered away due to white guilt and
political correctness..”

The Working Administrations

Posted on June 17, 2020 by On the North River

The percentage of each past president’s cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.  You know what the private business sector is: A real-life business not a government job.

Here are the percentages:

90% Trump
57% Eisenhower
56% Reagan
55% GW Bush
53% Nixon
52% Wilson
51% GH Bush
50% Truman
50% F. D. Roosevelt
49% Harding
48% Coolidge
47% Johnson
42% Hoover
42% Ford
40% Taft
39% Clinton
38% T. Roosevelt
32% Carter
30% Kennedy
08% Obama

This helps explain the bias, if not the incompetence, of the Obama administration: ONLY 8%  of them had ever worked in private business!

Only eight percent – the least, by far of the last 19 presidents! And these are the people who want to run again… against Trump.

Run through that list of Past Presidents again with this question in mind, which of those presidents were the good ones, the ones you admired?

Wide spread national Cellphone outage today.

Posted on June 15, 2020 by On the North River

To whom it may concern….

My network is T-Mobile, reports indicate Verizon (at least) is also effected.

Wives and girlfriends alarmed that YOU cannot be reached!

For me outgoing calls are unaffected but no incoming or any indication that an incoming call is inbound.   Feel free to call me on my landline…Yuk, yuk!

To lighten the tension, some engineering jokes:

From 2014: Quote of the Year (to date) inside The Post of the year.

Posted on June 14, 2020 by On the North River

The Founding Fathers wouldn’t have put up with any of this shit. The Founders started blowing people’s heads off because the government put a tax on their breakfast beverage… and it wasn’t even coffee. Can you imagine how batshit those guys would have been on a double espresso?

Dennis Miller

Say Amen everybody!

The Pig Trap

Wheeler got quiet for a few moments, and then he said something that I will never, ever forget.

“These people are playing with matches… I don’t think they understand the scope and scale of the wildfire they are flirting with. They are fucking around with a civil war that could last a decade and cause millions of deaths… and the sad truth is that 95% of the problems we have in this country could be solved tomorrow, by noon… simply by dragging 100 people out in the street and shooting them in the fucking head.”

And lemme tell ya, he had the list… he rattled off 25 or 30 names of well-known, prominent politicians, mostly Democrats, but a few Republicans, several members of the current Cabinet, a couple of Obama’s “czars”, a couple of figures from the Bush administration and the Republican establishment, several media company executives and on-camera newscasters, reporters, and pundits, a couple of people who are active in leftist politics but not in elected office… he had obviously thought about this to some degree already.

I was struck by his cold, detached, matter-of-fact tone. I said, “Dude… that’s more French Revolution than American Revolution. Do you really think that is the way to go?”

Wheeler said, “I believe in efficiency and economy of action. You wouldn’t trade one hundred of those criminal bastards for ten million of your fellow Americans?”

I don’t remember if I actually answered out loud, but in my my head, the answer was, “Yeah, I probably would…”

I would too,   and you?

(2020)  This is a post that is more appropriate today than six years ago.  And my answer is still the same… and you?

Only a few places have the option of outside.

Posted on June 14, 2020 by On the North River

Dining outside and a glass of wine is nice.  But what about the majority of restaurants that can’t?

Remember this the next time they tell you it’s only for two weeks… Control,  they like it.

Truck Drivers Say They Won’t Deliver To Cities with Defunded Police Departments

As cities across the country are discussing defunding or disbanding their police departments, truck drivers are voicing concerns of safety. Seventy-seven percent of truck drivers say they will refuse to deliver freight to cities with defunded police departments.

Truck driving is historically ranked as one of the most dangerous jobs in the country. In 2018, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic reported truck driving as the most deadly job in the country.

Truck drivers have spent the last year on the front line of a global pandemic and protests. Now many are fearful of what might happen if police departs disband or are defunded.

Truck drives have been voicing their concerns on the CDLLife App. After reading about their concerns, CDLLife posted a poll on the app.

We asked drivers on the app, “Would you pick up/deliver to cities with defunded or disbanded police departments? Why or why not?”

To date, 77% of drivers say they will refuse loads to cities with disbanded or defunded police departments.

Most cities are 48 hours away from starvation, riots and looting; if the delivery of the basics are interrupted.   Christ some people are stupid, actions have consequences!

A definitely different spin on things.

Posted on June 12, 2020 by On the North River

Offering the following link…

“Truth about George Floyd?”

Note: I don’t know how much of the lengthy article at the link is true, I didn’t read anything that I know for a fact to be false.  I’m linking it so that you can read and decide for yourself.  I do know it does attempt to fill in a lot of the gaps in the story that are being studiously ignored by most of the Media.

Pity we don’t have an independent investigative Press in this country any more.  So many unanswered questions.

Do all the stores looted and burned in that area sit on the same land that social-activists wanted previously to be used to build a “low income” housing development?   I assume someone local would know.  There are many unanswered questions like that.
