I probably should include Dr. Baldwin on my short list. For some reason I forget to check in with him as much as I should. However, when I do, he does not disappoint. Like today:

Should Clinton be elected President, every corrupt, criminal, political mobster in the world would be given access to the White House. Some of Clinton’s most ardent supporters are already making jokes about her association with criminal conduct. For example, Michael Moore recently said that if Hillary murdered Vince Foster (former Deputy White House Counsel under Bill Clinton), it merely means she is a “Bad-A**.” Bill Maher recently said that he didn’t care if Hillary had JonBenét Ramsey (a murdered little girl whose killer has never been found) in her basement. Clinton will fill her administration with people who think like this.

Hillary Clinton’s candidacy for President is the overt attempt of the world’s most evil elite to put one of their very own in the most powerful political office on earth.

Hillary Clinton is a person without conscience. She is a cold-blooded, ruthless, corrupt international criminal. Hillary Clinton is to America what the Pharisees were to Israel. And I’m afraid that if she is given the White House, the crimes and corruption of this country will finally catch up to this generation, just as surely as the crimes and corruption of the Pharisees finally caught up to that generation.

A Hillary Clinton presidency could literally plunge America and the world into another Dark Ages. No one can be ready for the evil that will come upon the world if Hillary Clinton is elected President of the United States.

Of course, this may be a moot issue now. Rumors swirl about the Swamp and Gotham this morning. Wikileaks, Anonymous, and the FBI may be about to move in hard. I have calls out to some LEO and intel sources but have not heard back yet. Could be an interesting weekend.

Stupid Gun Control Tricks

03 Thursday Nov 2016

Ryan McMaken, writing at Mises.org (via LRC), correctly notes that the gun grabbers have been a little quite this election season. They’re still there – like a fly, not in your face but resting nearby. Resting and preparing the next annoying sortie. The two major candidates have both quietly voiced some support for the Second Amendment while, at the same time, supporting “soft” gun controls. Interesting.

McMaken takes a deep look at five tricks the grabbers always play. All five are always based on lies and/or misapplied information. Here’s a look:

Number One: Imply that Crime Is Increasing

First among these are repeated hints that crime, especially homicide, is becoming worse. This has been especially effective in pushing the idea that homicide is now more common every time a mass shooting takes place.

In reality, of course, homicide rates in the United States in 2014 were at a 51-year low. They increased from 2014 to 2015 but remained near a 50-year low, and near 1950s levels, which are recognized as an especially un-homicidal period in US history.

Moreover, homicide rates were cut in half from the 1990s to today, in spite of the fact that guns were being purchased in larger and larger numbers over the period.

A huge lie. But, as Joseph Goebbels said, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.” The consequences of disarmament given the state of terrorism, potential crime, and government tyranny are as big as the lie.

Number Two: “Worst in the Developed World”

The claim is often made that homicide rates in the United States are the worst “in the developed” world. In this case, it becomes extremely important to carefully define the “developed” world so as to exclude other countries that have homicide rates similar to that of the United States.

As noted here, the whole notion of the “developed” world creates an arbitrary line between numerous high-middle income countries and a small number of the wealthiest countries. For example, the developed-country narrative necessarily excludes several eastern European (i.e., Latvia and Russia, to name two) countries that have homicide rates comparable to — or higher than — the United States. The narrative also excludes numerous Latin American countries that are prosperous in a global context, are at peace and have functioning legal systems. Examples include Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Costa Rica, and Mexico. None of these countries are in a state of civil war, and all are considered stable democracies. So, why are crime rates in all these countries steadfastly ignored? Because they don’t help the pro-gun control narrative.

Indeed, the whole narrative is based on a bigoted idea of middle-income countries — which implies that any country outside the European-American bubble should just be assumed to be a mess and can’t even be compared to the “civilized” parts of the world.

Also of note is the fact that in most cases, countries with higher homicide rates than the United States have more restrictive gun laws. This is the case throughout much of Eastern Europe and also in Latin America. This becomes starkly apparent when we look at the difference between the US and Mexico. On the US side of the US-Mexico border, where gun ownership is far more common, homicide rates are but a tiny fraction of what they are on the Mexico side of the border, where gun laws are far more restrictive.

Another big lie. America and other armed countries are generally safer than the alternatives. Thus the actual crime rates remaining low despite (really because of) the guns.

Number Three: Erasing the Distinction Between Suicide and Homicide

A third trick is erasing the line between homicide and suicide. Yes, I understand that, in a broad sense, suicide is a type of homicide. But, in popular usage — and in official crime statistics — homicide usually means murder, and almost never means suicide. Moreover, everyone knows there’s a difference between homicidal violence — in which one person is murdered by another person — and a depressed person taking his own life.

However, by ignoring this distinction, gun-control advocates have created the category of “gun violence” which sounds like what normal people call crime. But, in reality, it’s crime mixed with suicide. Thus, those who use this tactic can push up “gun violence” numbers by including suicides, thus vastly increasing the total number of deaths that result from gun usage.

Moreover, those who use this trick often will claim there is a clear relationship between gun ownership rates. They note that in many states, such as Montana and Colorado, for example, suicide rates are relatively high and gun laws are relatively lax. Of course, one can draw even stronger correlations between suicide and altitude or suicide and population density.

Suicides are terrible, certainly. However, they do not threaten the safety of the wider community as do homicides. Still, the liars need all the help they can get to inflate their false alarmist claims. They also like to blur the line between:

Number Four: “Gun Homicide” vs. Homicide

Here’s another trick that involves subtly manipulating language to hide crucial information. When making comparisons among US states and various countries, gun control advocates often replace the term “homicide” with “gun homicide.” This is done because the United States has a larger share of homicides committed by firearms than other countries. However, it can be shown that some countries with more gun ownership have lower homicide rates than countries with higher gun ownership rates.

For example, in Switzerland — where gun ownership is common — 48 percent of homicides are committed with firearms. In neighboring Germany and Austria, the use of firearms in homicides is much lower (24 percent and 10 percent, respectively.) However, the homicide rate is slightly lower in Switzerland (0.6 per 100,000) than in Germany and Austria (0.9 and 0.8 per 100,000, respectively).

Apparently, more firearms homicides (proportionally speaking) to do not translate to higher homicides overall.

Murder is murder from the standpoint of Natural Law. It is wrong. Wrong when committed with a handgun. And wrong when committed with a box truck on the sidewalk. It is also wrong to fudge statistics against one weapon while ignoring the rest. I have yet to hear any calls for banning box trucks, fertilizer, steak knives, axes, or fireworks. Come to think of it, the grabbers rarely want to ban the people prone to commit homicide either. Hmm.

Number Five: Over-reliance on Nationwide Statistics

A fifth final trick is to make inappropriate comparisons to the United States as a single homogeneous jurisdiction. The United States is much larger than any European country and contains far greater variations in terms of geography, climate, culture, and ethnicity than any European country outside of Russia. However, this does not stop many pundits from comparing the United States — with 320 million people — to, say, Belgium, which has only 11 million people and just a handful of metropolitan areas.

Nevertheless, gun control advocates like to list the homicide rate for the United States — in the dishonest manner described above — and say “why are US homicide rates higher?” Ignored, of course, is the fact that homicide rates can differ immensely from state to state. Indeed, as of 2015, the homicide rate (at the state level) ranged from 1.1 per 100,000 in New Hampshire to 10.3 per 100,000 in Louisiana. Obviously, given the fact that gun laws can vary substantially from state to state, it is impossible to draw any meaningful conclusions about homicides and their causes from a nationwide homicide rate. This is also relevant to making international comparisons. When we look at state-level data, for example, we find that states with demographics and climates similar to that of Canada also have homicide rates similar to Canada — in spite of large differences in gun laws.

There are lies, damned lies, and then there are statistics. Honest academic comparison must be conducted between like groups – similar sizes and demographics. The left never lets intellectual honesty get in the way of the big lie.

They always lie. They have to. They’ve been known to craft reams of fake data to support the fascism. Michael A. Bellesiles is still trying to live down the big lie(s) of his infamous book, Arming America: The Origins of a National Gun Culture. Moving forward, word is his newest book argues that no Americans owed automobiles until after 1975. Some things never change.

The lies shift a little but they’re still just lies. And, of course, as part of the disinformation, the left must ignore the fact that guns save far more lives every year that they take – much like the air bags they champion. They pretend the ever-lurking threat of Stalinesque confiscation and genocide isn’t real and that governments are always trustworthy. They lie, and lie, and lie some more. Then, they lie again.

Don’t fall for the lies. Call them out when you hear them. Spite the liars by arming yourselves.

The University War On Men And What To Do About It

This is a story from the Dark World, as described so well by Ivan Throne in The Nine Laws. It will sicken you. Or, it should sicken you. It should make you want to act. I have suggestions at the end.

I didn’t have time to get into the subject on the air with Matt Patrick yesterday morning but part of the problem with higher education in America (and Canada, the UK, etc.) is that the schools forego academic rigor in favor of triviality. Year by year, legions of poorly equipped young mush-heads arrive at institutions dedicated to frivolity. Math, history, art and literature take a back seat to social justice and lessons better suited for Sesame Street.

My point with Matt was that all of this is a horrible waste of time and money. There is no reason to go $200,000 in fake debt to bankster charlatans for such “education”.

There’s a pecking order to the foolishness. Womyn’s studies, black empowerment theater, and the LGBBQ buffet take priority. If it has to do with anything male, white, and Christian, in other words with Western civilization, it is shunned. And ridiculed. Stamped out or at least tampered with.

The latest pathetic trend is the attempted emasculation of men in college. Young men are taught that, among other idiotic ideas, being a man is toxic. A manly man, a straight man, a proud man of the West is frowned upon by the bunched panties crowd of modern, lightweight academia.

For example, a class at Dartmouth College this semester, “The Orlando Syllabus,” identifies so-called toxic masculinity as playing a role in the mass murder spree at a Florida club during the summer. This despite the fact that the gunman, Omar Mateen, told police on the phone as he committed the massacre he did it on behalf of ISIS.

Other instances of combating toxic masculinity on campus can be found at both the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and Duke University, which launched programs specifically designed for male students to delve into “violent masculinity” and “healthier masculinity” and discuss issues like gender fluidity.

“How has the concept of masculinity contributed to the perpetration of violence in our society?” asks the UNC Men’s Project website.

Duke University started a similar program this semester for male students to reflect on topics such as patriarchy, male privilege, rape culture, pornography, machismo and “the language of dominance,” Fox News reported.

At a mandatory freshmen orientation training at Gettysburg College in August, male students had to watch a documentary which stated in part that the “three most destructive words” a boy can hear growing up is “be a man.” The freshmen also went through breakout sessions in which they were told mass shooting sprees are rooted in toxic masculinity.

The “Thrive” club, part of the Claremont colleges consortium which meets as a “safe space” to talk about mental health, advertises that “masculinity can be extremely toxic to our mental health, both to the people who are pressured to preform it and the people who are inevitably influenced by it.”

The group refuses to disclose the contents of its discussions due to “confidentiality concerns,” but students who attended one of the sessions reported that there was “a common consensus that masculinity is harmful both to those who express it and those affected by it,” the Claremont Independent reported.

Various promotional videos promoting health masculinity advocate challenging “the traditional norms of what we envision masculinity to be” by recognizing “male privilege.” Goals touted through the education include undoing a legacy of “harm, oppression and dominance.”

This trend did not emerge over night. Last year, Vanderbilt University hosted “Healthy Masculinities Week,” led in part by Jackson Katz, the first man to minor in women studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Every group identity under the sun goddess is represented on campus except for men. Until now. Let’s use UNC as an example. The once proud Tarheels now have a Men’s Project. Not a center or a studies course or separate college mind you. Those are for the favored groups. A project is something to work on. And they’re hard at work, working on deconstructing masculinity.

This Men’s “Project” is an offshoot of the Student Wellness Office (because manliness is a sickness to treat) and the Carolina Womyn’s Center (because womyn). Womyn get a center, men are a project. And men need to be made well. That should tell you everything you need to know.

What is the UNC Men’s Project?

The UNC Men’s Project is an initiative started in 2013 that seeks to create opportunities for male-identified students to learn, listen, reflect, and work together to increase men’s involvement in gender equity and violence prevention efforts. This program works to promote healthier masculinities on campus and to shift the culture of masculinity toward more non-violent norms. The UNC Men’s Project is a designated High Impact Practice in Student Affairs, and is co-sponsored and supported by Student Wellness and the Carolina Women’s Center.

The 2016-2017 Cohort will be hold weekly cohort sessions in Fall on Wednesdays from 6-8 pm, from September 21 through November 30 (no meetings during week of Fall Break or Thanksgiving). The application for this year has closed.

What does it mean to be a man?

How does masculinity serve as a beneficial and/or harmful influence in our lives? How does it affect our relationships with other men, with women and with people of all gender expressions?

How has the concept of masculinity contributed to the perpetration of violence in our society? Men commit the vast majority of violence, yet the vast majority of men neither commit nor condone violence. And many men and boys are subjected to some form of violence at the hands of other men. How do we confront this issue?

In short, how do we create spaces for men to talk honestly with other men and to practice healthier, more positive masculinities?

These are the questions the UNC Men’s Project seeks to answer.

How can you get involved?

Educational Programming

The UNC Men’s Project starts with a 10-week program in the fall semester that (1) explores a spectrum of masculinities, (2) examines how our own stories are shaped by masculinity, and (3) gives participants the tools and knowledge to become peer allies, leaders, and educators in violence prevention and gender equity efforts at UNC.

Student Community

The UNC Men’s Project works year-round with a variety of campus and community partners to support ongoing efforts focused on violence prevention and gender equity at UNC Chapel Hill. The groups hosts meetings, workshops, events, and discussion groups to provide a space for students, both from our training program and the general student body, to continue their process of learning, listening, reflecting, and working together to make UNC a safer and more equitable community.

Safety and equity for all – all except men. Men used to have plenty of spaces to talk honestly. One of the foremost was the university. Now they get bigoted pyscho-babble in place of honest discussion. And I imagine it’s more of a talking to than a discussion. A talking down to. “You’re all rapists. You’re all violent. You’re too strong. Try some makeup. Cry with us in the safe space.”

The Project’s advisory board includes nuts from: the womyn’s center, the black power movement, the multi-culti affairs office, the local rape crisis center, and the LGBBQ bathhouse. I’m surprised ISIS isn’t represented.

 

From this description the idea is clear: men are a bunch of stupid and violent savages (geometry, the moon landing, nuclear power, symphonies, the polio vaccine, the concept of the university, civilization, and all that irrelevant stuff aside); the women must teach the men to be a bit more effeminate. To be docile. To be wimpy. To be slaves. Happy little sheep.

Here’s what we need to do with this garbage. First, if you are a man (or a real woman) at one of these “schools”, leave. Don’t pay another cent for this communist BS.

Well, actually, don’t quit immediately. Turn the tables before you go. A young man should attend one of these workshops or gulag camps or whatever. Take a large spider with you. Once the chief b*tch or masculine feminist is babbling away, release the spider where it will be noticed. I predict that as soon as the safety and equity nitwits see it they will panic. They will ask you or any other man present to kill it (probably while screaming and standing on chairs). Please have someone video record all of this. Send me a copy.

When they freak out and demand you act, you that start crying (use a small squirt bottle). Scream out that you’re the victim of a micro-aggression! Tell them squashing spiders is for real men and that the thought of it is toxic to you, more deadly than the spider’s venom. Through your hysteria, manage a call to 911 and report the Project for conspiracy to commit animal cruelty. Insist officers be dispatched. Make a scene of these fools. Notify the media. Then leave. Don’t ever go back. Don’t even think about it. Laugh and be grateful to escape the fate of a eunuch.

**Please make sure the spider gets out unharmed. He might be your only friend on campus. Give him a fly as a reward.**

spider-1

“I can haz safe spaze?” Git ’em lil’ buddy! The Verge.

Now, all of you who are thinking about college or who have children looking at colleges, let this serve as a warning. Nonsense like this Project is a barometer of how bad a school really is. Have nothing whatsoever to do with any such institution of stupidity.

If you’re an alumnus, contact the school alumni begging office, the president, and the regents or whoever controls education in the jurisdiction. Tell them you will not donate another penny to the school. Tell them why. Tell them to take their project and shove it.

The rest of you need to abandon these wicked places. Don’t support them. Don’t visit them. Don’t watch their felon ball teams. Don’t do business with them. Pretend they do not exist unless you pause to decry their degeneracy.

If you are a legislator or a board member or someone with power over a school, move to defund and/or abolish it. Taxes and endowment monies would be better utilized elsewhere – anywhere else and for anything else. Take a stand.

We have to stand. They declared war. They started it. We must finish it. That’s what violent, savage, atom-smashing, arachnid phylum conjuring, sound-barrier breaking, transatlantic crossing, other world exploring, college founding, taxpaying, terrorism fighting, carrying everyone else on strong backs cavemen do. It’s the manly thing.

The JFR Lunatic El Chiquito

Here’s a little break from dissecting electoral college counts tonight.

I’ve covered the JFR Lunatic, the 8 x 80 monster allegedly named for me. Yesterday, coping with the end of my vacation and trying to get a little work in, I tried this:

img_20161101_095256560_hdr

A smaller, more user-friendly Lunatic: the El Chiquito. That’s Spanish for “tiny” or “little one”. I suppose by comparison to the original it is. This little beauty is a mere 4 3/4 x 70. Short and stout, a little Nicaraguan teapot. She’s crafted in Esteli. The finest valley filler and binder leaves Nica has to offer get covered by an attractive San Andrés wrapper. The Mexican lineage, I think, accounts for the color – not quite a straight maduro nor corojo.

img_20161101_095531096

She’s a little beauty whatever the hue. And the taste was fantastic. I found all of my favorite Nica joys along with a hint of a neatly subdued woody, spicy finish. Lovely. It was perfect for brunch, the body being less hefty than one might assume. Mine was pared with an Amber Ale the name of which I can’t recall.

It was a great experience. Many thanks to Brittney and Mike at The Tampa Humidor. Britt, that was the cleanest, best arranged Xikar display case I’ve ever seen.

So, next time you need a “little” break from the ordinary, remember the El Chiquito.

Immigrants, Terrorism, and War

Oh my.

The West is under active siege. We are beset by hordes of angry, dangerous invaders who want to destroy everything our forefathers worked for thousands of years to build. Civilization itself is at stake.

And the worst part isn’t the ISIS fighters nor the teeming masses of “refugees”, freeloaders and violent alike. The real problem is our own governments and their quest to ruin everything.

As I’ve pointed out again and again, the situation in Europe is dire. Police in Germany and Sweden are literally losing control of the streets. The invaders, in addition to draining financial resources, commit untold crimes. The police are beginning to abandon law enforcement in action and in employment. Rapes, robberies, murders and arson are skyrocketing.

Paris was in riotous turmoil last night as immigrant gangs burned and beat each other. Calais hasn’t seen such disorder and violence since the 100 Years War. Few cities and countries are spared. The scene is a little better in America. A little. For now. And the forces of true evil are working overtime to change that.

“Refugee” admittance to the U.S. from Syria is up over 900%. And 99% of the admitted invaders are Muslim. An unknown percentage of those are radical and active. Little is known as there is next to no vetting or security screening.

ISIS is busy too, planning new attacks on the West. In response to the never-ending American stupidity in Iraq and, specifically, the Mosul offensive, the Islamic State is calling for new “lone wolf” attacks on Europe and America.

In the second issue of the magazine, titled Nashir – Now Fight Has Come, the writers remind Muslims across the globe of the “privilege” they have residing “among our enemies who live peacefully in their countries,” notes the Foreign Desk (FD).

“Every soldier fights on the Caliphate land [in Iraq and Syria] wishes to be in your place. We can cut the tail of the snake but it will sooner grow again. But you have its head,” adds the magazine.

“Brave Mosul is bleeding. You should stop its bleeding by carrying out exhaustion operations of the Enemy’s power and blood … cut their heads by your knives, let us hear your guns blasting their heads,” it also states, according to FD.

The problem is not the ISIS soldiers in Mosul but, rather, those in New York and Berlin. Plenty have been foolishly allowed in and more are coming.

News comes that Iran wants in on the fun. The Iranian military is planning to infiltrate Europe and America with members of the Revolutionary Guard. Their objectives are unclear but I doubt they will come to enrich us. Of course, that will be an excuse for keeping them once they’re here.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, the country’s elite military force, is sending assets to infiltrate the United States and Europe at the direction of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to recent Farsi-language comments from an Iranian military leader.

The IRGC “will be in the U.S. and Europe very soon,” according to the Iranian military commander, who said that these forces would operate with the goal of bolstering Iran’s hardline regime and thwarting potential plots against the Islamic Republic.

“The whole world should know that the IRGC will be in the U.S. and Europe very soon,” Salar Abnoush, deputy coordinator of Iran’s Khatam-al-Anbia Garrison, an IRGC command front, was quoted as saying in an Iranian state-controlled publication closely tied to the IRGC.

As Abnoush does not work for the U.S. government nor the New York Times nor MSNBC, his words have a degree of credibility.

It would be relatively easy to accomplish. IRGC operatives could enter Europe posing as undocumented “refugees” from Syria. No checks mean they will sail right in to France, Germany, etc. While receiving welfare from the local taxpayers they can contact “Catholic” Socialist Services about transit to America.

Ready or not… Care 2.

No questions will be asked. No eyebrows will be raised. Sure, they’re all healthy males in good shape and of military service age. Yes, as a whole, they resemble an army. Yes, the CIA, MI6 and Mossad will raise an alarm. Facts, shmacts. Let them in. House and feed them. The SWAT team and the coroner can clean it up later.

All this and some in NY and DC would also have a war with Russia.

Insanity doesn’t even come close. The insane are confined and medicated. The pols and their crazed supporters are kept in power and their depredations ignored. I suppose the real trouble lies with the electorate.

However it happens it is happening. It’s been happening. It’s well past time to wake up and do something to stop it. Ethnic foods and warm, fuzzy feelings do little to stop bullets, bombs, and blades. Think well on this.

Happy All Saints Day, friends.

have-a-blessed-all-saints-day

This morning I had a great, short chat with Matt Patrick on the Morning Show of KTRH, 740 AM, Houston. I saw that a few of you clicked the “listen live” link I provided yesterday. Maybe you heard my coffee-swilling rambling about the state of education. It’s not my main subject and at 6:45 on a vacation morning I wasn’t at full throttle. Still it was a great segment.

Matt, Dale and the crew over there run a very professional operation. I haven’t been on the radio in about five years. I have lost some of that quick, DJ voice. Those guys are fast and succinct. A great show. I was happy to contribute what I could. Many thanks to the crew and staff.

And many thanks to all of you for making October the biggest and best month in blog history. In was close but last night we managed to edge out September by a slight margin. This morning I already have visitors from: the USA, UK, Australia, Spain, Mexico, Germany, and Hungary. Hello, all! This month I’m looking for another increase – a new order of magnitude if you will. Thanks for all the help.

I’m proud of the little site. I wrote a cigar story that led to some “professional” reviews. I wrote a book review for a best-selling author. That lead to a dialogue with the author – a great man with a great message. (And, hello, Gabbers!) I wrote about the colleges and I got a request from the media in a major market. I am humbled.

I’m also tired. In a good way. Been toting bags around amusement parks and trotting after tweens and teens and other crazies. Fun times. 500 miles and I’ll be back with more rambling finery. There’s big things a happening out there.

Stay tuned!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Halloween01.jpg

Presentation 3D.

I’m still on vacation but I thought I might render a small service by suggesting a few costume ideas for tonight’s parties and so forth. Just in case you forgot or were worried about the PC thing. Here goes:

Donald Trump. A cheap mask, a dark suit and a red tie should do it. This will frighten all of your liberal friends. Beware though – some more red-blooded ladies might ask you to grab them.

Hillary Clinton. This will scare pretty much everyone. Don’t be too convincing or else you might get arrested. Mistaken identity happens.

Putin. A mask, no shirt and a horse will make you the leader of the free world. If you see a “Trump” out there, give him a hug. Slap every”Hillary” you encounter.

If you’re a white man, just go as yourself. This will be my option. Tell the kids you’re a walking, talking micro-aggression. They’ll run away crying.

A Confederate Battle Flag. Apparently there is nothing scarier. Except for a …

AR-15. Actually, outside of D.C., NYC, and LA, people will want to shoot you. I’ll leave that to your imagination.

Rioter. Just wear a hood and run around screaming about killing the debils. If anyone inquires, just tell them something angry and incoherent. Steal something.

Harambe. With a Confederate Flag and an AR-15. Offend everyone. It’s all in a night’s fun.

FBI Agent. Dark suit and dark glasses. Walk around handing out Hillary subpoenas. ASk to see phones and tablets.

At an American college campus go as any of the following:

  • Any of the above – though 50% won’t know who or what you are;
  • An Indian;
  • Anyone in blackface (even if you’re black);
  • Adolf;
  • General: Lee, Jackson, or Forrest;
  • Pepe;
  • Milo;
  • Textbook – this one may overflow the safe rooms….

There you have it. A quick, easy guide to the most politically-incorrect Halloween ever. Hurry; only have about six hours left.

*If you are an attractive college-age girl and are afraid of running into anyone dressed as I described herein, please come to my neck of the woods. I’ll … protect you… Bring me cigars…
