SF bullet ban:

No.  Making things more dangerous.  That’s what you get when you have uneducated Leftists making law predicated but upon only emotions and not facts.

San Francisco’s Hollow Point Ban Endangers Lives: Just Ask The NYPD

by Awr Hawkins

Hard left gun control proponents have a habit of passing laws–ostensibly to save lives–which actually do just the opposite. San Francisco’s hollow point ammunition ban is just such a law.

A hollow point bullet is a bullet that expands in diameter once it hits the right kind of tissue. These are exceptional self-defense rounds because their expansion creates a larger wound cavity. A hollow point bullet is therefore far more likely to stop an attacker with one shot–maybe two–verses full metal jacket rounds fired in the same caliber.

A full metal jacket round is just what it sounds like–fully metal. It is a ball of lead covered in copper which is smooth and slick and enters the body without tearing and ripping like a hollow point.

So San Francisco banned hollow points but allows full metal jacket and that means everything is safer, right?

Wrong. It actually means everything is now more dangerous.

Why?  Because of the issue of penetration.  Hollow point bullets are designed to respond primarily to human threats.  That is why they are utilized by law enforcement agencies.  They are meant to damage human tissue and stop the attack, not to over-penetrate and exit the body.

A full metal jacket bullet in a hot caliber has a tendency to go all the way through an individual, whereas a hollow point grinds to a halt in the body. What this means is that San Francisco’s hollow point bullet ban opens the door to more people getting shot with bullets that have passed through intended targets and struck innocents in the background. 

Did the NYPD learn a lesson from the HP bullet ban?

NYPD police commissioner Howard Safir put it this way: “We are, in fact, going to switch to hollow-point ammunition as soon as we receive it. They are much safer than fully jacketed bullets, which will go through a person or tumble through a person’s organs and then continue on and hit innocent victims.” 

Thanks San Francisco.  Another reason — amongst many — why I’m glad I don’t live there.

Getting “Pelosi’d” by the GOP?

Posted on by

Remember old San Fran Nan and her quote about ObamaKare: “But we have to pass the [health care] bill so that you can find out what’s in it”?

It would appear the GOP is doing the same thing.

Paul Ryan’s Pelosi-Esque Obamatrade Moment: ‘It’s Declassified And Made Public Once It’s Agreed To’

by Matthew Boyle

Chief Obamatrade proponent House Ways and Means Committee chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) admitted during Congressional testimony on Wednesday evening that despite tons of claims from him and other Obamatrade supporters to the contrary, the process is highly secretive.

He also made a gaffe in his House Rules Committee testimony on par with former Speaker

Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) push to pass Obamacare, in which she said infamously said: “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”

“It’s declassified and made public once it’s agreed to,” Ryan said of Obamatrade in Rules Committee testimony on Wednesday during questioning from Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX).

What Ryan is trying to convince House Republicans to do is vote for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) which would fast-track at least three highly secretive trade deals—specifically the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA), and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP)—and potentially more deals.

Right now, TiSA and T-TIP text are completely secretive and unavailable for even members of Congress to read while TPP text is available for members to review—although they need to go to a secret room inside the Capitol where only members of Congress and certain staffers high-level security clearances, who can only go when members are present, can read the bill.

Why is it that, more so these days, so much of government business has to be conducted in a clandestine fashion?

Am I the only one who finds this turn of events disturbing?

Demorats Voted For ObamaIt couldn’t have happened to a nicer couple.

Live with it, you morons.  You voted for it, you’re reaping your just desserts.

I only hope your rates increase.

As John Wayne said:

John Wayne QuoteFor those idiots amongst us — like the couple above — let us review two primary Obama LIES about ObakaKare:

A clear and obvious LIE.  Then there was this:

Every breath, every word uttered by Obama is nothing but a LIE.

And GOWPs couldn’t wait to take it all in.

Then they became shocked — shocked I tell you — when they were personally shafted by His Imperial Majesty.

Yes.  You are that stupid, you Guilty Overeducated White People.  You would expect blacks to be corrupt and vote their melanin.  The past two times, however, you voted your perceived guilt.  Which doesn’t exist, except in a Leftist Stratosphere ruled by guilt and PC terms and lies and ignorance of history.

Historical query for Leftists.

Question: who were some of the greatest slavekeepers in history?
Answer: Muslims.

Testing teachers for reading comprehension is RACIST

NY Teacher Exam Thrown Out For Being Discriminatory

by Blake Neff

A federal judge in New York has struck down a test used by New York City to vet potential teachers, finding the test of knowledge illegally discriminated against racial minorities due to their lower scores.

At first glance, the city’s second Liberal Arts and Science Test (LAST-2) seems fairly innocuous. Unlike the unfair literacy tests of Jim Crow, LAST-2 was given to every teaching candidate in New York, and it was simply a test to make sure that teachers had a basic high school-level understanding of both the liberal arts and the sciences.

One sample question from the test asked prospective educators to identify the mathematical principle of a linear relationship when given four examples; another asked them to read four passages from the Constitution and identify which illustrated checks and balances. Besides factual knowledge, the test also checks basic academic skills, such as reading comprehension and the ability to read basic charts and graphs.

 

And there you have it.  Testing hispanics and blacks for reading comprehension is now racist.  Being able to understand a chart or a graph is racist.

This is the point to which we, as a nation, have now devolved.

Leftists couldn’t be happier.

Leftist TeachersWe are in fact heading directly for the movie “Idiocracy.”

The next telling paragraph:

Nevertheless, this apparently neutral subject matter contained an insidious kernel of racism, because Hispanic and black applicants had a passage rate only 54 to 75 percent of the passage rate for whites.

Oh no, say not so!  Hispanics and blacks that cannot pass tests requiring logic and common sense?  We can’t have that!

Once their higher failure rate was established, the burden shifted to New York to prove that LAST-2 measured skills that were essential for teachers and therefore was justified in having a racially unequal outcome. While it might seem obvious that possessing basic subject knowledge is a key skill for a teacher, District Judge Kimba Wood said the state hadn’t met that burden.

Judge Kimba Wood, lets us not forget, was appointed.  She never had to take an — ahem — actual test.  She may not be much keen on “tests.”

And just when you thought things couldn’t be more stupid, well — things indeed get more stupid.  Literally.

LAST-2 hasn’t been used in New York since 2012, but the ruling will still have repercussions. Minorities who failed the exam (who number in the thousands) may be owed years of back pay totaling millions of dollars, and those who were relegated to substitute teaching jobs could be promoted to having their own classrooms. In addition, while Wood’s ruling only applies to New York City, the test was used statewide, and it could serve as a precedent for further lawsuits.

The ruling could also pave the way for another ruling finding New York’s current teacher test, the Academic Literacy Skills Test (ALST), to be discriminatory as well. That test is even harder than LAST-2, with a strong focus on literacy skills such as writing and reading comprehension, and like LAST-2 it has a very large gap in scores between whites and minorities. A lawsuit, once again being heard by Wood, is already pending, with the plaintiffs arguing that there is no clear evidence strong literacy skills are essential for a teacher.

So: isn’t that just perfect?  Those morons insufficiently intelligent to pass these tests could sue the state of New York in order to get their jobs and back wages.  How perfect!  How classically Leftist!

Because, after all, it is infinitely more important to have a ignorant person of melanin in the classroom than someone who is actually educated and possesses knowledge, is it not?

Because, after all, “there is no clear evidence strong literacy skills are essential for a teacher.”
