"How Do People Believe that 2nd Amendment protect the 1st........"

 Yeah, I shamelessly clipped this off Quora, it was a good response, it has been discussed amongst us bloggers for several years, especially when we hear from the lefties " you can't fight the Apache Helicopter and the atom bomb" or some such nonsense...Our response is, "we don't fight them, we fight the logistics, and you do know that pilot that fired that hellfire into that house.....betcha he has a family....you think that family will be safe?, you lefties use violence like a volume knob to suit your political purposes, to us it is "on-off" switch, we flick that switch, it will make the genocide in Rwanda look like a kindergarten spat, so be careful what you wish for.

To read the article where I pulled the meme from is "Here", yes I wrote it back in 2019 after President's first impeachment.

How do people that believe the Second Amendment protects the 1st, and ignore the fact that no amount of firepower they possess would protect them from the US military if their country became dictatorial?

Are ya sure?

Ever seen this guy?

Viet Cong. They were the guerilla forces on the side of these guys:

The USA and those guys fought a war. The USA was better equipped, funded, trained… better everything.

I assume you know who won.

In more recent history, ever see this guy?

He was a Taliban fighter, on the side of…

… well, uh, more Taliban. They were fighting the US for 20+ years. And the USA outmatched those guys WAY more than they outmatched anyone in Vietnam.

Remind me, who runs Afghanistan today?

But what about in America? What would resistance look like in America? I know, I know, the meme is the “muh-lish-uh” is entirely this guy…

And yeah, I too roll my eyes when someone like that talks about tyranny and resisting it. I, too, wouldn’t even trust him with logistics supplies. If they involved food, anyway.

But.

What about this guy?

I pulled that picture from an Amazon movie about American hunters. Do you think he knows his way around the back country and similar to Viet Cong or Taliban? Think he’s a good shot? Think he might know a thing or two about tactics, or could at least learn relatively quickly? Something tells me he does, is, and could.

But that’s not all.

What about this guy?

His name is John Lovell. You may want to mock him for all his tactical gear, because who does he think he is, what a poser… Well, he’s a retired Army Ranger.

And make no mistake, I’m not speaking for him. But IF tyranny really hit the US and IF he were to get involved- again, not speaking for him, but IF- I know whose side he’d take. I can guarantee, if he got involved, whose side he’d take.

It wouldn’t be tyranny.

But that’s still not all!

American soldiers- the ones who do the fighting, not the political brass or the desk jockeys- tend to overwhelmingly swing one direction, politically. And I can tell you this: push come to shove, a lot of them aren’t going to tyrannize their fellow citizens. They may at first, a little, because circumstance and nuance and confusion and so on.

But give it some time. See what happens.

Mark Milley, here?

You’re right. That coward will bend the knee to tyranny in no time. And yes, I do call him a coward, because he already bent that knee. For nothing more than career advancement during peacetime. Any military guy who publicly states he’s “concerned with white rage” because it’s the woke talking point of the day and the current administration, well, they’ll turn on the people for sure. I’ll grant you that.

But this guy’s nothing without these guys here:

They do the actual fighting. Maybe some will also bend the knee. But many are going to feel the way Mr. Lovell up there feels. I promise you that.

And this guy…

… he’s going to be more than happy to work with them. He wanted to be left alone, but someone brought tyranny to his land.

And in the off chance those army guys up there didn’t bring their rifles when they deserted their newly-turned-completely-tyrannical leaders? Good news! He’s already stocked up on extra rifles and tons of ammo.

Go ahead, parrot the stupid line about “we have nukes and F-15s!” (that was Biden who said that, YouTube it) and think that matters. We can even pretend that the F-15 pilots will all happily drop bombs on their fellow Americans without hesitation, too. Let’s grant that just for sake of argument.

Okay. F-4 Phantoms didn’t stop the NVA and Viet Cong. Twenty years of Black Hawk helicopters dropping Rangers and Seals to conduct raids and the C-130s dropping countless bombs and US army occupying every major city and the Predator drones assassinating countless jihadis and on and on and on… we had F-22s by that point along with F-15s, F-16s, A-10s, the F-35s were rolling out… well, all that didn’t stop people who literally often couldn’t even do jumping jacks or count. I’m not joking.

Behold, the ultimate tool of tyranny!

And, apparently this.

Truth is, an F-15 doesn’t occupy a street corner.

This guy does.

These guys are who you call to do that…

… but even these guys just might end up siding with, well, this guy…

… if it came down to it. Because, frankly between, say, Milley and fatty up there? Bottom line, fatty isn’t trying to bring tyranny to anyone.

But worry not, all you minutemen, the soldiers will have that guy stay home. Maybe instead the soldiers turning against tyranny will coordinate some guerilla style raids with his best buddy growing up down below, and toss in some training while they’re at it.

And believe me, the odds are that guy with the tripod can already shoot way better than most soldiers, let alone those who stay, let alone enlist or respond to a draft after tyranny arrives.

So, god forbid we have to find out, but considering the success of the Taliban, the Viet Cong, the obvious reluctance of most American boots-on-the-ground to tyrannize their own… who would you put your money on?

I know my bet.

Monday Music "Boogie Wonderland" By Earth, Wind and Fire and The Emotions

 

 I am continuing my string of "bugaloo" songs.  This discussion was started in the "Monster Hunter Nation, Hunters Unite", back in November of 2019? it is a Facebook group with enthusiast of the ILOH "International Lord of Hate" A.K.A Larry Correia.  We were talking about what song would we use if we looked out of our window or glanced at our security camera and saw this.....

One of the alphabet bois lining up to take down your house...What would be your "Valhalla" song and you would set it up to play as you load up magazines set up the Tannerite Rover, turn on the water irrigation system and fill it with gasoline instead of water and prepare yourself.

 I figured it would scar the alphabet boys if they come busting in and hearing a song about people having a good time and standing up for themselves and having Disco playing Loud will scar the Alphabet Boi's as they force the stack through the door.

I decided to go back to the "Disco" era with a band that did well during this time. They are still around touring today as the interest in Disco has picked up.  I admit it, I listen to disco, rock, pop, heavy metal, alternative, old school rap and other genre's.  The only music I have a problem with is gansta rap.  I have a hard time listening to that..because of the language, I do use foul words, but some words I will not use and those words are frequently thrown around in a gansta rap song.  Some of the stuff I do like, like Coolio and Eminem and LLCoolJ, beastie boys among others.   But I digress.  

     I was listening to the 70's channel on the way home from work on my Sirius/XM and they happen to be playing a string of Disco hits in a row and this song came on and I found myself grooving to the song on the way home.  

"Boogie Wonderland" is a 1979 disco hit song by American R&B band Earth, Wind & Fire, featuring The Emotions. Released as a single on March 20, 1979 by The American Record Company and Columbia Records, The song was certified Gold by the RIAA on May 29, 1979. "Boogie Wonderland" was written by Allee Willis and Jon Lind, and recorded by Earth, Wind & Fire. It was included on the album I Am. It is regarded as a classic of the disco era, peaking at number 14 on the disco chart. On other US charts, "Boogie Wonderland" peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 2 on the Hot Soul Singles chart.

 "Boogie Wonderland" was written for The Emotions - cousins of Earth, Wind, & Fire's lead singer - and was commercially successful, selling over a million copies and being certified gold in the US (until the RIAA lowered sales levels required for certified singles in 1989, a gold certification was awarded for sales of one million units) and gold by the British Phonographic Industry for selling over 400,000 copies in the U.K. 

 

Rose Riggins of Gannett wrote "Boogie Wonderland is the hit. But it is more than just an average pop song. The song is an exploration is of times spent at house parties and at discos, when you wanted to be disco queen or king and the spotlight just wouldn't focus on you. You wonder why and look into the mirror and it says, Uh, Uh, baby it don't work you dance to shake the hurt. Like so many of EWFs hits, Boogie Wonderland, is bolstered by the blazing horns that have become the groups trademark. Teamed up with the talented vocal group the Emotions, EWF has created a song that will join the ranks of such past hits as Mighty Mighty, Getaway, Fantasy and September." Dave Marsh of Rolling Stone said Maurice White "takes simple dance formulas like 'Boogie Wonderland' and finds fresh possibilities within them."

 

 

Monday Music "More, More, More, By Andrea True Connection

   I am continuing my string of "bugaloo" songs.  This discussion was started in the "Monster Hunter Nation, Hunters Unite", it is a facebook group with enthusiast of the ILOH "International Lord of Hate" A.K.A Larry Correia.  We were talking about what song would we use if we looked out of our window or glanced at our security camera and saw this.....

One of the alphabet bois lining up to take down your house...What would be your "Valhalla" song and you would set it up to play as you load up magazines and prepare yourself.

 I figured it would scar the alphabet boys if they come busting in and hearing a song that is related to Disco and Porn in the 1970's.  What can I say, My humor is warped....I will look for some other hits from the 1970's and Disco for a few weeks to tie in with this theme, LOL

       My copy of this song was on my copy of "Super Gold Hits from Ktel, and you can see my copy of "Saturday Night Fever in the background,

I had to go digging for it in my collection of records.

"More, More, More" is a song written by Gregg Diamond and recorded by American disco artist Andrea True (under the name Andrea True Connection). It was released in February 1976 and became her signature track and one of the most popular songs of the disco era. In the U.S., it reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent three weeks at number three on the Cashbox chart in July of that year. In Canada, it was a number-one hit.
The song was originally recorded in Jamaica where True, a porn star, had been appearing in a television commercial. An attempted coup prevented her from leaving the country with her wages from the commercial. Resourcefully, True called on Gregg Diamond to come down to Jamaica to write and record the song with her, along with other studio musicians which formed the backbone of the "Connection" project.
Buddah Records originally released the song only to discos in the winter of 1975/1976. The popularity of "More, More, More" was immense. Widespread listener interest convinced Buddah to release the single commercially in the spring. The song rose to number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and number twenty three on the soul singles chart. The single was a successful disco hit peaking at number two. Overseas, the song peaked at number five on the UK Singles Chart.

The Andrea True Connection's version of "More, More, More" has appeared in Whit Stillman's movie The Last Days Of Disco (1998) during scenes between Alice (Chloe Sevigny) and Tom (Robert Sean Leonard) at the disco and then back at Tom's place. The song is part of the movie's soundtrack album.
The Andrea True Connection's version of "More, More, More" has appeared in two episodes of The Simpsons. In the 2003 episode "Dude, Where's My Ranch?", after Moe Szyslak kidnaps David Byrne (who guest-starred in the episode as himself), a parody version of the song plays on the radio featuring Moe singing, "Moe, Moe, Moe! How do you like me? How do like me? Moe, Moe, Moe! Why don't you like me? Nobody likes me." The song is credited to "The Moe Szyslak Connection". The song also appears in the episode "Sweets and Sour Marge", where Disco Stu plays the song after "snorting" lines of sugar.

"More, More, More" also appears in the documentary Inside Deep Throat. The song appeared in the 2002 film Dahmer during a nightclub montage. In 2006, the song appeared in Click and was used during one of the flashback scenes. On the show The King of Queens, the episode "High Def Jam" opened with Doug Heffernan singing a parody version, "Doug, Doug, Doug". The song was featured in American Dad!, Season 3, Episode 2, "Meter Made". The late professional wrestler Larry Sweeney formerly used the song as his entrance theme.
Stevens' version of the song is used in adverts for the UK sofa company ScS. A version of the song by Dagny was used by Target in a commercial campaign introducing its line of new products in the fall of 2017.
Andrea True Connection's version appears in a 2019 commercial for Applebee's.

Monday Music "Breaking The Chain" By Dokken

 

 I started this theme back in November of 2019?...With a couple of interruptions it has been consistent...Dang.

 

           Saw this meme and *rescued it from farcebook*, why? because I am a humanitarian, that's why.

Breaking the Chains is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Dokken. It was originally released in Europe as Breakin' the Chains on the French label Carrere Records, in 1981. This version contains different mixes and titles of songs from the later U.S. edition. "Paris Is Burning" is called "Paris", and is actually a studio version as opposed to the live recording in Berlin from December 1982. The album also contains a song called "We're Illegal", which later turned into "Live to Rock (Rock to Live)".

The album was remixed, partially re-recorded, renamed and released in the US in 1983 by Elektra Records, and reached number 136 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album was considered a flop by the label, which had the intention to drop the band. However, Dokken management convinced Elektra that they could make a more successful album, which materialized in Tooth and Nail in September 1984. Breaking the Chains' title track was named the 62nd greatest hard rock song by VH1. It is featured on the radio station "V-ROCK" in the 2006 video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. 

 

In a discussion with George Lynch on January 26, 2011, he mentioned the existence of 500 copies of the Carrere Records Breakin' the Chains version printed with the Don Dokken moniker, instead of Dokken. This version also featured different album cover art.

"Breaking the Chains" is a song by American heavy metal/glam metal band Dokken, appearing on the band's debut album of the same name. The song was originally released as a single "Breakin' the Chains" in 1981 through Carrere Records exclusively in Europe, appearing as the B-side to the "I Can't See You" single. "Breaking the Chains" was released as a single in 1983 through Elektra Records, being the band's first American single. The song was a modest success, peaking at #32 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. The song remained on the chart for 13 weeks.

 

A video was produced for the song. It begins cutting between the band performing the song in a house and performing on a black stage. The band is later chained up in a dungeon before George Lynch breaks free and performs the song's solo. As Lynch performs the solo the other band members break free one by one. After the solo, Don Dokken wakes up chained to a bed, alone, before breaking free. The video ends with shots of the band performing in the house, in the dungeon, and against a backdrop of chains that explode as the video ends.

Jeff Pilson appears in the video on bass as Juan Croucier had left the band before filming began.

 

 

 

 

Monday Music "Screaming For Vengence" By Judas Priest

 I have been very busy, I will post in a day....or 3 about it, LOL

Screaming for Vengeance is the eighth studio album by the English heavy metal band Judas Priest, released in July 1982 by Columbia Records. Considered the band's commercial breakthrough, it has been certified double platinum in the United States and platinum in Canada. Screaming for Vengeance spawned the hit "You've Got Another Thing Comin'", which became one of the band's signature songs and a perennial radio favourite.  

 

Screaming for Vengeance was recorded at Ibiza Sound Studios, Ibiza, Spain (during this period, it was common for UK-based musicians to record in continental Europe for tax purposes). Mixing and overdubs were done at Beejay Recording Studios in Orlando, Florida and Bayshore Recording Studios in Coconut Grove, Florida.

It showcased a harder, heavier sound than British Steel and saw the band reverse back into straight heavy rock after the melodically styled Point of Entry. The album also marks the first time a drummer played on more than two Judas Priest albums, with Dave Holland having also played on British Steel and Point of Entry.

The album's most commercially successful track, "You've Got Another Thing Comin'", was a last-minute addition. According to guitarist K. K. Downing, "We were quite happy with the album, but decided late on that we could add one more song. I know we had some of the parts, but we set about completing "Another Thing Comin'" during the mixing sessions at Bee Jay studios. It came together quite quickly, and I seem to remember that we all had a good feeling about it, as it did sound like a good driving song and possibly a good radio track." Rob Halford expressed surprise at the song's success, saying "that track was buried. Normally the tracks you think are going to do stuff are at the front end of the release. But our friends at Sony said, 'We're going to go for this song.' And we didn't really know what was going on. But then the feedback was coming over: 'Hey, the record's buzzing in this town and that town', and it just took off."

Screaming for Vengeance was released in July 1982, with a remastered CD released in May 2001. "Fight for Your Life", recorded during the Screaming for Vengeance sessions^{[citation needed]}, was left off but subsequently reworked as the song "Rock Hard Ride Free" on the next album, Defenders of the Faith. The original version saw the light of day as a bonus track on the 2001 remastered version of 1978's Killing Machine. As of the album's 30th anniversary in 2012, it remains the top-selling release of Judas Priest's career. To celebrate the album's 30th anniversary, a remastered CD with bonus 1982 live tracks and a bonus DVD of the band's performance from the 1983 US Festival were released. The most recent remaster was released in late 2017 as part of the Sony We Are Vinyl series, on vinyl and digital download only. 

 Judas Priest songs for some reasons I can't understand(lol) seem to relate to the Bugaloo theme, I guess it is the angry theme and trying to "stick it to "Da Man" that seems to flow through a lot of their songs.

 

Monday Music "Tragedy" By the BeeGee's

 

I am continuing my string of "bugaloo" songs.  This discussion was started in the "Monster Hunter Nation, Hunters Unite", back in December 2019?  it is a Facebook group with enthusiast of the ILOH "International Lord of Hate" A.K.A Larry Correia.  We were talking about what song would we use if we looked out of our window or glanced at our security camera and saw this.....I got the inspiration for this song driving into work for overtime:) and I had my Sirius/XM on the 70's channel or #7 and this song came one and the Tragedy would be either for them or for me and truth be told it would be for all Freedom loving Americans because it means that the Republic is truly gone and the Empire has arrived. so We prepare ourselves when the Gas in the sprinkler system gets engaged. ( now this is for educational/entertainment purposes only)

One of the alphabet bois lining up to take down your house...What would be your "Valhalla" song and you would set it up to play as you load up magazines and prepare yourself.,set up the tannerite rover and refill the lawn sprinkler lines with"Foo-gas."

 I figured it would scar the alphabet boys if they come busting in and hearing a song that is related to Disco and Porn in the 1970's.  What can I say, My humor is warped....just a bit. Next week will be "You Should Be Dancing By the BeeGee's",  Now that should really cause some psych evals., hehehe, some poor ATF guy trying to explain the attraction to his mother because of Disco. and the possibility of Leisure Suits, Flared Collars and Tannerite Rover :D, Now can you imagine "Old NFO" or "Old AFSarge" wearing a leisure suit? and making the moves like John Travolta did in Saturday night Fever?  It IS their generation, LOL

I decided to go with the BeeGee's .....again.   I know that some people didn't like the BeeGee's and they got typecast as a Disco band.  The truth is that they have been around longer than the Genre but they have been typecast.   I like Disco, I do remember the the anti disco sentiment, especially in the early 80's.  Disco had gotten squeezed out by the new wave coming out of England.  I think the backlash came from the fact that Disco was around longer than it should have been, rather than be remembered fondly like I do with my 80's music now, it was crammed down people and it was too much.  This caused the backlash.  I knew that the BeeGees were more than a Disco band, but Disco is where many people really heard of them for the first time.  The BeeGee's were extraordinarily talented musicians and the range of their music spoke of their talent and showcased it.  I also know that they seemed to drop off the planet for about 10 years.  I didn't know why but I am sure the anti-disco backlash caught them up as did many other acts from that era.    

"Tragedy" is a song released by the Bee Gees, written by Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb, included on their 1979 album Spirits Having Flown. The single reached #1 in the UK in February 1979 and repeated the feat the following month on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Spirits Having Flown is the fifteenth album released by the Bee Gees. It was the group's first album after their collaboration on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. The album's first three tracks were released as singles and all reached No. 1 in the US, giving the Bee Gees an unbroken run of six US chart-toppers and tying a record set by The Beatles. It was the first Bee Gees album to make the UK top 40 in ten years (not counting the soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever), as well as being their first and only UK No. 1 album. It has sold 20 million copies worldwide.
Spirits Having Flown marked the tail end of the band's most successful era, prior to a severe downturn in the early 1980s when they would endure a near-total radio blackout (particularly in America) that Robin Gibb would refer to as "censorship" and "evil" in interviews.

The Bee Gees had been effectively typecast as a disco group after Saturday Night Fever, and in a 1978 interview Barry remarked "People think we're just about disco now. Of course that's not true. If you look at the SNF soundtrack, there's some dance music, but we also have ballads like More Than A Woman." In an attempt to counter this typecasting, the first single from Spirits Having Flown was the ballad "Too Much Heaven". The horn section from Chicago (James Pankow, Walt Parazaider and Lee Loughnane) made a guest appearance on this album. At the time, they were next door working on the Chicago album Hot Streets. Thus the Bee Gees would return the favour as they appeared on Chicago's song "Little Miss Lovin'" and their keyboardist Blue Weaver appeared on "No Tell Lover". The Bee Gees also recorded "Desire" for the album but it was rejected and instead released as a solo single by their brother Andy.

Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb wrote this song and "Too Much Heaven" in an afternoon off from making the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie in which they were starring. In the same evening they wrote "Shadow Dancing" which was performed by Andy Gibb (and reached #1 in the US).
Though not originally in Saturday Night Fever, it has subsequently been added to the musical score of the West End version of the movie-musical. The song knocked "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor off the top spot in the US for two weeks before that song again returned to #1 for an additional week. In the US, it would become the fifth of six consecutive #1s, tying the record with the Beatles for most consecutive #1s in the US.
In 1979, NBC aired The Bee Gees Special which showed how the sound effect for the explosion was created. Barry cupped his hands over a microphone and made an exploding sound with his mouth. Several of these sounds were then mixed together creating one large boom heard on the record. The song is also playable on Rock Band 3.

 The accompanying music video for "Tragedy" was directed by David Amphlett. It starts with a Doraemon-shaped alarm clock ringing and sees Faye, Claire, and Lisa getting married. The lads, Lee and H, sabotage all three weddings before they all go to a disco. The church and disco scenes were filmed in All Saints' Church, Harrow Weald, London and the adjoining Blackwell Hall, respectively. The external location shots of the boys leaving their house and driving were filmed in Blackheath, South London. The group's actual families all took part in the video, with the girls' fathers walking them down the aisle, and record producer Pete Waterman appears as the wedding DJ.
