'you're so dumb!'

A Charlotte County, Florida resident recalls strange encounters and experiences that he and his family have had with various cryptids or unexplained creatures.I received the following report:"Around 1991, my mother, one of my cousins, and I were coming back from a school concert. At the time, we lived in a rural part of Charlotte County, Florida. We were three miles from our home when my mother hit the brakes really hard. I was in the backseat sleeping and my cousin was sleeping in the front passenger side. I heard a hard thump and then mom hit the gas. I asked what happened. She screamed out "I just hit a werewolf!" My cousin's eyes were wide open and she wouldn't talk at all. My mother told me more details when we got home.Before she hit it, she noticed a car on the side of the road up ahead. When she came up to it, the creature jumped right in front of our car. She was going about 45 when she hit the brakes. It landed on the hood of the car. Its' face landed on the windshield. It had black fur and red eyes, a long mouth open to reveal a large set of teeth. Definitely not a guy in a suit. It pushed itself off the car leaving claw marks. My mother told me that the last time there was one in the area was over twenty years ago.I believe it was in 2001, I worked maintenance between 10 pm and 4 am. I was still living in Charlotte County but near Punta Gorda. For about a week I heard weird sounds coming from the back of the building which had thick brush. Not the typical animal sounds. One night I heard a loud crash coming from the side entrance. I investigated to find a large garbage can that was thrown on top of the roof and rolled off. I was thinking "kids" until I got a strong whiff of something nasty. It wasn't the trash. Then I was thinking "Skunk Ape." I quickly picked up all the trash and went back into the building.The next night I was traveling between the two buildings when the thick bushes started shaking. I heard an animal make a horrible sound like it was being choked. I ran into the lighted parking lot and turned around. I saw a large humanoid shape appear out of the brush and it went back in. A couple nights later, my mother was waiting to pick me up when she saw a large shape come in under a light by a side entrance. It suddenly noticed her and went back into the shadows.A week passed without incident. Again my mother was waiting to pick me up when she heard a couple of dogs barking close by. She turned to see a large hooded man walking behind the car. He was across the parking lot on the side of the road. The dogs belonged to a couple of trailer folks nearby. These dogs travel in a packs of 4-5 and weigh between 60-90 lbs. They were running around the man barking and snapping at him. One of the large dogs got hold of his arm. Then my mother saw the man's face. It wasn't a man under that hood. The head of a black wolf became visible. The unearthly being shook and then threw that dog like a doll. The rest of the dogs ran for their lives. The hooded creature walked into the nearby woods. The next night was a full moon and I heard its unearthly howl. We never heard and saw it again. Now a housing project occupies the land where it once lived."

Remember to apply caution when making these so that you can avoid hurting yourself and others. While we sure don't condone violence, we do believe in being prepared, informed, and safe. Here are some ideas to guide and inspire you. *Disclaimer: All content on this site is for informational purposes only. Please follow your state, local, and federal laws whenever buying, customizing, operating, possessing, transporting, manufacturing, or selling any types of weapons.   1. DIY Knife   | A knife is an important tool in any home, easy to make and handy in different tasks. The knife is also one of the ideal tools to have when SHTF, so if you break or lose one, don't worry because you can easily make a new DIY knife. In using the knife as a weapon you have to remember that when you are involved in knife fighting, it is not all about fighting at all, but it's about defending and surviving against an attacker. You'll need precision, balance, and intelligence when using a knife to as a defensive weapon.   2. DIY PVC Fiberglass Bow image via diyprojects You’ll never believe how easy it is to create your own DIY PVC fiberglass bow! You can now have a tool for hunting or an interesting and useful hobby to practice with the kids. The bow and arrow has been utilized as an effecient hunting gear for thousand of years and continues to be useful even today. It even has a great advantage over a gun because it is a silent weapon. You'll never know when you might need a weapon that is quite as well as deadly.   3. DIY Arrowhead | If you are into survival bow techniques, you're probably aware that the most difficult part of making your own bow is having the right material for an efficient arrowhead if you're on the move. Luckily, you can easily transform a spoon into a deadly arrowhead.   4. DIY Fire Starter image via instructables Around the homestead, you’ll never know when you’ll need a fire. As we all know, fire is essential to survival. Yes, a fire starter may not be that useful when it comes to defending yourself from an attacker, but it plays a great role in outdoor survival, especially if you get lost in the wild. Having a fire starter handy can mean saving your life.   5. DIY Spear This DIY spear can be used to catch fish or protect yourself from an unexpected intruder when camping. I would say this tool is a must-make if you love roughing it in the outdoors. Throughout the history of Medieval Europe, spears were primarily used in mass combat. As a weapon of war, it best because minimal training is needed to use it efficiently in formations. In a single battle, the spear remains a deadly weapon. With an extremely quick thrust and excellent range than most swords, it is exceptionally hard to defeat a spearman.   Become better outdoor warriors this weekend and teach yourself how to build a debris hut! #Prepper #Survival https://t.co/3zh1ycJGGE pic.twitter.com/LHyvo2vCYW — Homesteading (@HomesteadingUSA) February 24, 2017   6. DIY War Hammer image via diehardsurvivor With a little creativity and some plumbing equipment, you can make yourself a marvelous DIY war hammer that will get the job done easily and quickly. You can face any threat in stride when SHTF and can feel confidently safe using your handcrafted war hammer. A war hammer was designed intended for close combat during the late medieval era. A later version of war hammers had a spear on one side of the head, making it even more deadly. It can create good damage if you swing it forcibly and hit your attacker especially if it is made of heavy duty materials.   7. DIY Sword image via sword-buyers-guide A sword is a medieval weapon, but it has long reach and it is as lethal as ever. If you are interested in having a DIY sword, this could be your perfect tool and weapon at the same time. Unlike the spear and bow, the sword is a purely military weapon and may require special training to use it properly, but nonetheless, sword is still a deadly weapon worthy of keeping it safely in the homestead.   8. DIY Slingshot A slingshot is one of the most popular propelling weapons used for battle or hunting since the Stone Age. It’s easy to make, has long range capability, and can be deadly if used in close distance. And if you're creative, you'll never run out of ammo.   9. DIY Multifunction Pocket Tool image via instructables If you need a more efficient homemade tool and weapon then this DIY multifunction pocket tool is tailored for you.

Politico: Trumpmentum Among Black Voters Is Real

One of the biggest criticisms of the Kamala Harris campaign is that she hasn’t done many interviews, leaving voters none the wiser regarding her murky, ever-changing positions and policies. It seems her campaign management has noticed the complaint and is making an effort to reverse course in the final weeks leading up to the election. In a bold attempt to reach moderates, Harris sat down with Fox News’ Bret Baier for an interview on Wednesday. Stu Burguiere breaks down their conversation, outlining everything you need to know. - YouTube www.youtube.com “That was a legitimately difficult interview. [Harris] was not put in easy places,” says Stu, noting that Baier “asked tough questions,” “followed up,” and even “cut her off” when she attempted to “go down nonsensical talking point roads.” As for Harris, Stu says she took a “filibuster” approach — “Let me get through this so I can say I did it” — which resulted in “very long answers that didn't really get to anything.” The interview kicked off with the subject of immigration. According to Stu, Baier was “aggressive” on the subject and cut Harris off when she attempted to repeat her “nine-minute word salad” that included blaming Trump for opposing the border security bill. While they were on the subject of illegal immigration, Baier mentioned the “[illegal immigrants] who got released [from jail], which led to murders” and even asked Harris if she would “like to apologize” to three specific female victims, including Laken Riley. Harris responded in sympathy but with no apology. When Baier then played a video of Alexis Nungaray, whose young daughter, Jocelyn Nungaray, was murdered by illegal Venezuelan immigrants, Harris eventually said she was sorry for Nungaray’s loss but ultimately reverted back to blaming Trump. Harris’ “apology,” according to Stu, was equivalent to “how you'd apologize if your neighbor's cat ran out into the street and got hit by a car.” “She took no responsibility,” he says. The next subject they discussed was the controversies surrounding the transgender movement. Baier’s exact question was: “Are you still in support of using taxpayer dollars to help prison inmates or detained illegal aliens to transition to another gender?” He even played a clip of Harris stating that she is indeed in favor of that. Harris, clearly thrown off by Baier’s trap, responded with, “I will follow the law,” and then claimed that during Trump’s administration, a law providing for such surgeries if deemed medically necessary was in place and that Trump himself followed that law. “She’s now a prisoner of the law,” who “can't question money for transgender surgeries,” even though “she's running for president of the United States with dozens of law changes,” chides Stu, exposing the glaring contradiction. “Really evasive, really bad.” However, one of Kamala’s worst moments in the interview was perhaps when the subject of “turning the page” came up, which has been a major talking point for Harris this election season. Baier played clips of Harris asserting that she would not change anything about Joe Biden’s presidency, contradicting her instance that we need to turn the page and begin a new chapter. Thrown off, Harris responded by saying that we need to turn the page on the last decade to distance our country from Trump — who she claimed was unfit to serve, unstable, and dangerous. “Democrats have been president for 60% of the last decade. Donald Trump had four years in office,” corrects Stu, adding that Baier’s traps really made her “angry.” However, Stu says that her answers continued to get worse.

Growing up in Keyport, New Jersey, sports played a big role in my life. Naturally, I became an enthusiastic fan of the New York Yankees, Giants, and Knicks. Every year, I hoped one of my teams had the best shot and dreamed they would win the championship. After each season, my friends and I turned to the draft or free agency, eagerly discussing new player acquisitions. It's been exciting to watch how “fantasy” sports have evolved to the point that they’ve become a sport of their own.When drafting for a sports team, the focus has always been on improving the current roster. Who is the fastest, strongest, or most durable? Who can improve the team’s chances of winning a championship? I’ve never heard — and still don’t hear — anyone say they’re looking for the most diverse player to promote equity. A sports team’s goal is to win.If we don’t abandon forced DEI policies in our government, military, and corporations, our entire economy and national security will become a joke.Thomas Jefferson penned the famous phrase in our Declaration of Independence: “All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”What a powerful message. It’s the foundation of our society and government. We also know it’s an ideal we aspire to and that, in this country and worldwide, not everyone has been treated equally. Since the beginning of time, people have restricted others’ freedoms. Even today, millions around the world are trapped in slavery and don’t enjoy the freedom of religion, speech, or movement — freedoms we sometimes take for granted as Americans.Even though mankind has abased it, the universal truth of freedom remains intact, which is why me must continue to fight for it in its ideal form every day.However, equality of opportunity doesn’t mean we all have equal abilities or should achieve equal outcomes. Just as sports teams scout for new talent, not everyone can dunk a basketball, hit a home run, invent lifesaving medicine, run a business, or lead a country.We all have an inner drive to compete, succeed, and win, but not always in the same way or with the same results. Consider some of the greatest success stories of the past century: Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, Sam Walton, Madam C.J. Walker, Oprah Winfrey, and Bill Gates. They all were highly motivated, willing to fail, and competitive and had a strong understanding of what people wanted. They were also intellectually gifted beyond many of their peers.Instead of forcing everyone to be equal in drive and intellect or imposing redistributive government policies, our Founding Fathers fought for the freedom of these gifted, driven individuals to succeed. As a result, the nation has become far better for everyone. The United States is undeniably the world’s leader in technology, medicine, food production, and military strength.Over the past 35 years, I’ve hired hundreds of people who were the best and brightest and who understood what we aimed to accomplish with our company.The primary danger of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs is that they impose a new kind of slavery, shackling the best and brightest with the chains of the lowest common denominator. This approach benefits no one.Do passengers want the most diverse pilot or the best pilot? Do cancer patients want the most diverse doctors or the best doctors? Do baseball teams win championships because they have the most diverse players or the best players?Everyone should have the opportunity to compete for any job, with the same rules and minimum standards applying to all. However, DEI quotas at any level are wrong and anti-American, and they contribute to failure.And for those who truly believe in DEI, stop with the hypocrisy. Demand that goods produced with slave labor in communist China or other repressive regimes be immediately banned in the United States. Demand that all sports teams immediately reflect the proportion of skin color among Americans. That would be something to watch in the NFL, NBA, and Major League Baseball. Actually, it would be something no one would watch because it would be a joke.If we don’t abandon forced DEI policies in our government, military, and corporations, our entire economy and national security will become a joke as well.End DEI. Let freedom and human ingenuity run wild. This will ensure that America’s greatness will never be in doubt.

The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America is considering whether to censure Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York for voting in favor of bills that assert Israel's right to exist.'A national DSA endorsement comes with a serious commitment to the movement for Palestine and our collective socialist project.' Ocasio-Cortez has been lambasted by the right for her criticism against Israel, but her own party is upset that she's not sufficiently anti-Israel. Among the bills Ocasio-Cortez supported was House Resolution 888 that affirmed "denying Israel’s right to exist is a form of antisemitism." The group said her vote was in violation of "DSA’s democratically decided program of Anti-Zionism and Palestinian liberation." The DSA also objected to Ocasio-Cortez signing onto a congressional letter in April that signaled support for defense spending on Israel's "Iron Dome" rocket defense system. The socialist group has already voted to withdraw its unconditional endorsement for the politician in July. “A national DSA endorsement comes with a serious commitment to the movement for Palestine and our collective socialist project,” the group said. “To build a socialist movement that’s capable of defeating capitalism, we must demand more from leaders in our movement.”In August, many on the far left excoriated Ocasio-Cortez for applauding Democratic candidate Kamala Harris at the Democratic National Convention for "tirelessly" seeking a ceasefire in the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip. They furiously criticized Ocasio-Cortez and Harris for not opposing U.S. support for Israel enough. "Nauseating! Palestinian's blood is on her hands. She has and continues to be such a disappointment. Why her followers have fallen for her hypocrisy shows how hypocritical and nauseating they are as well," said one critic on social media. She was also criticized by the right over her response to Israel's operation to explode pagers obtained by Hamas operatives in Lebanon in September. While many praised the clever attack on terrorists, she demanded to know whether the U.S. aided the operation in any way. Like Blaze News?
