Roll Tide!

OK, props to this dad who may have stopped a mass killing at a McDonalds in Birmingham. Free happy meals for life.

And his life may not be long - he was leaving with his sons, turned to shoot it out with the gunman, and both he and a teenage son were wounded. His wife (OK, my wife anyway) might pin a medal on him and then choke him out in his sleep for endangering her baby boy.

I would have the devil's own time getting my sons to go out while I went back but jiminy - he made a bold choice which this time worked out. IMHO he ought to coach them that their "Help" assignment is to get out and get the police.

A brave dad armed with a pistol stopped what could have been a mass shooting Saturday inside an Alabama McDonald's when he took down a masked gunman who had stormed in and opened fire.

The unidentified father was leaving the establishment with his sons when a masked man walked into the Birmingham fast-food restaurant and started shooting, WBRC-TV reported. The father returned fire and, during the ensuing shootout, the gunman, the father and one of the man's teenage sons were struck, according to the station. 

The gunman, who was not identified, later died of his injuries. The other two injuries were not considered life-threatening.

...

Authorities are now working to determine if the gunman intended to rob the restaurant, was targeting an employee or planned something more nefarious.

“Things like this are difficult for both families. The gentleman who unfortunately lost his life, the teenage boy who is in the hospital recovering from his injuries and the father who is also recovering from his injuries,” Birmingham police spokesman Sgt. Bryan Shelton said, according to WVTM-13. “It's not easy being a father and watching your child get injured, get hurt like that. It's a really heartwrenching experience."

"Gentleman".

All that said, the dad's choices may have been limited. Other coverage places the dad and his kids at the door or inside the McDonalds (possibly at the door), near closing time. 

The shooting happened about 10:45 p.m. at the Lomb Avenue restaurant. Birmingham police spokesman Sgt. Bryan Shelton said one juvenile and two adults were injured. All three were transported to area hospitals where one of the adult victims was later pronounced dead.

Initial police scanner reports said the shooting may have happened during a robbery, but police have not confirmed that report. Shelton said the restaurant was closing for the night and the manager was unlocking the door to let out a father and his two teen sons.

As the door was opened, a masked man burst inside and opened fire. The exiting customer was able to return fire, striking the masked man who ultimately died at the hospital.

The father and one of his sons were injured but are expected to be OK.

this is the future of the global warmists too:

Sloppy science bears substantial blame for Americans’ bad eating habits. “A spectacular case of sloppy science came crashing to a close last month. Cornell University’s Brian Wansink, a world-renowned scientist who seized headlines with his research on American eating habits, had many of his papers retracted and resigned from his professorship. Wansink’s fall is not just the tale of a single scientist gone astray. It is, instead, an indictment of an entire type of nutrition science that has led to mistaken dietary advice dispensed to Americans for decades.

Wansick makes one sick, but there are proliferating Piltdown Mann's. It's friggin' easy to snow with stats, even easier to be ignorant of their correct use.

Heh, re nutrition and health, years ago I forecast that when the government finally was exhausted with paying for the drugs to treat hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and obesity, that it would compel people to 'Work For Food', 'cuz that is what prevented those chronicities back when we grubbed for every calorie. Salt often entailed a lot of work, sweets were difficult except for fruit and honey, well those were rare or difficult enough. Fats nearly impossible unless one worked hard enough to kill a wary animal.

So what do have at the punch of a button? Salt, sweet, and fat.

New Jersey Newspaper Endorses ‘Awful’ Menendez: ‘He’s No Gem’ but He’ll Check Trump

"The question is which candidate can best fight Trump's toxic policies, his grotesque appeals to racial and ethnic tribalism, and his corrosive attacks on the pillars of our democracy, starting with the rule of law," the board wrote. "That makes this an easy decision: Menendez is the better choice, by far. He has our endorsement."

It called the race a battle between "two awful candidates whose most convincing argument is that the other guy is unfit to serve."

The Star-Ledger ripped Hugin for being unclear on some of his views, his background in the pharmaceutical industry, and being a supporter of Trump's. It praised Menendez for his role in drafting the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, as well as his stances on climate change and immigration reform.

Nevertheless, the board was unforgiving in its assessment of Menendez's conduct with Melgen and called it an "act of profound narcissism" that he stayed in the race for re-election.

"Before he was caught in 2015, Sen. Robert Menendez broke Senate rules by routinely accepting expensive gifts, including private jets to luxury resorts abroad," the board wrote. "He kept those gifts secret, breaking another rule. He then used his office to promote the personal and business interests of the man who paid the bills. All that was the unanimous conclusion of the Senate ethics committee, including all its Democrats."

"It's a miracle that Menendez escaped criminal conviction, and an act of profound narcissism that he stayed in the race despite this baggage, putting a Democratic seat at risk while Donald Trump sits in the White House," it added.

Beasts,

That is correct. I thought I had made that clear.

I sure want this whole thing ended with a definitive report on who did what. I also want the media to at least pretend they are unbiased, rather than doing all-out propaganda.

I was listening to Anthony Scaramucci on Fox yesterday and he said that he went to over 27 rallies with the President during the campaign, and he said what people don't realize is that he really loves the people who attend, especially the blue collar workers, because of all of his work in construction.

How long I have waited for a President that understands and relates to the average American! And instead of being allowed to see him in favorable interviews and appearances like the Halloween event last night, the media gives almost non-stop vitriol.

CNN's ratings are tanking and they seem unconcerned. I wonder if someone like Steyer is paying them.

Thank God for the internet!

We mailed in our Absentee Ballots today.

We always order them since I never know where I'll be a month in advance, but usually I can make it to an early Polling location like the Library to vote in person, but with my car dead and at the shop and the Blizzard ongoing and a trip coming up on Wednesday Momma dropped them in the mail box on her morning drive to start the Dog Walk.

Last week the local paper reported that already 3,500 Absentee Ballots had been received before our current Governor Walker dropped out of the race, but there would not be do-overs for anyone who voted for him since the Law said he was legally still on the Ballot so anyone who voted for him was SOL.

It'll be interesting to me to see that if Begich loses by a small amount like 1,000 votes, if some legal challenge will be pushed by the Dem's to try to allow those Absentee Walker Voters to re-Vote. Folks are pretty good at bending Election Law up here, since I recall how Lisa Murkowski was allowed to get the Law changed during her 2010 run as a Write-In Candidate. The law she had previously voted for as a State Politician mandated that the name on any Write-In Ballot had to spelled exactly correct or the Ballot would not count, and also that no person running as a Write In candidate could have their name posted in an Election location to aide the voter in spelling the name correctly. Both of those Laws were pencil whipped as invalid in the week prior to the 2010 Election by a Judge that Lisa's Dad, Frank Murkowski, had previously hand picked as Election Commissioner
