Mormon Podcast on Gangsters Out

This podcast is to help my Mormon friends understand what the hell I'm doing on my blog and podcast. Although I am no longer active in the LDS Church, I was for many years and still have many friends in that church I know and respect. I just want to kind of smooth things over and put things in perspective for them. The rest of you might want to skip this episode but you're free to tune in. Lots more on the road ahead. If you login to Spotify you can see the video. Cheers.

Vaisakhi in Surrey 2023

The Surrey Now Leader is reporting that "Hundreds of thousands of people filled the streets of Newton Saturday for Surrey’s Vaisakhi Parade. It returned after a three-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The float-filled parade began at the Sikh temple (12885 85 Ave., Surrey), travelling along 124 Street to 75 Avenue, along 76 Avenue and then on 128 Street before returning to the temple. Hundreds of booths line the route as businesses and families hand out food and treats to parade-goers." The Sikh Motorcycle Club was there in support.

New Podcast - Law and Order: The New York Model

I uploaded a new podcast on Spotify about Law and Order and the New York Model and how that relates to DeSantis in Florida and the rise in crime over in Portland. I realize if I embed the podcast in my blog only the audio appears. If you go to the link on Spotify you can see the video.

Update: New Podcast - Law and Order: The New York Model

Well here it is. Someone suggested I start a new podcast on Spotify and I thought that was a really good idea so I did.

I have an idea who to pick for my first three guests. This will be fun. Stay tuned.

The video is now available on Spotify. Houston, the eagle has landed.

Kamloops drug bust targets violent crime

CTV is reporitng that "A joint investigation targeting gang activity in B.C. has resulted in the seizure of a smoke grenade, firearms, drugs and cash. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit launched the project alongside Kamloops RCMP in an effort to disrupt and suppress violence associated with those involved in organized crime."

"Mounties said nearly two dozen investigations took place throughout Kamloops between April 5 and 9 — leading to the seizure of more than seven ounces of suspected cocaine, fentanyl, heroin and meth, two firearms, an assortment of weapons, and thousands of dollars in cash."

OK seven ounces of cocaine is not much but addressing street level drug dealing is important. CTV is also reporitng that "'The Kamloops Crime Reduction Unit, UGET, and frontline officers continue to target repeat and violent offenders through joint partnerships,' said Supt. Jeff Pelley in a news release Friday, adding that Mounties will continue their comprehensive enforcement strategies to keep the public safe." That is a good thing.

The uniformed branch of the CFSEU showing off in nightclubs is pretty useless, but this kind of ongoing law enforcement isn't. It's important. Crime never sleeps and it never goes away all by itself. It's something we always have to address. That requires persistent effort.

Portland crime is killing their economy

Zero Hedge is reporting that "Add outdoor retail giant REI to the growing list of companies planning to close stores in Portland, Oregon, because of rampant lawlessness in the Democrat-controlled city. Oregon Live said REI notified customers on Monday about plans to close its store in Portland's Pearl District early next year. The retailer said its store in Portland "had its highest number of break-ins and thefts in two decades, despite actions to provide extra security."

Why is this significant? Because Portland is a liberal sh*t hole like Chicago and Cali. Leftist extremism has created a surge in crime and lawlessness that is killing their economy. That insanity has an agenda behind it. Defund the police, create a manufactured emergency, then roll in with your insane solution that nobody wants or needs.

The real solution is not create the manufactured emergency in the first place. Half of Oregon wants to break off and join Idaho because they do not share the same values as the leftist extremists that are promoting the crime and lawlessness.

Deep snow on Mount Seymour past Brockton Point

I went snowshoeing on Seymour today. A week and two days after surgery. The snow was awesome. Usually the trail on Seymour is well packed and you just need crampons but today there was a bit of fresh snow and after Brockton point it was very deep. People with crampons were sinking up to their waste after Brockton point. Snowshoes or backcountry skis were better after that point today. It might rain on the weekend which will help to pack it down.

I made it 3/4 the way up to the base of the bowl on First peak but it got a bit steep and slippery from all the snow blowing in the wind so I turned back. I don't want to blow out my hernia again. I want it to heal properly before I hit it hard. This snowpack will last several months.
