The Other McCain - IQ Voodoo and Other Errors

One of the problems with American politics is how the two-party system tends to foster a Manichean duality on every issue. The Democrat “borg” (which includes media and academia) pushes whatever its policy agenda may be at any moment, and demonizes anyone who dissents.

Self-Defense in New York

Is self-defense even legal in New York State? Apparently it is, though it doesn't seem to be on the Island of Manhattan. Upstate NY homeowner shoots, kills intruder in home invasion

Do you think that the would-be, bad guy didn't expect to encounter armed resistance in this blue state?

An Upstate New York homeowner shot and killed an apparent intruder who broke into his residence early Monday morning, according to police.

Rochester police responded to the scene on Avery Street at approximately 4:30 a.m. on Monday after a neighbor reported hearing gunshots.

If you come, uninvited, to my house at 4:30 in the morning, you will find me in a really vile mood.

Rochester Police Capt. Frank Umbrino told reporters that the shooting appears to be justified as the resident used a legally registered handgun and possesses a valid New York state pistol permit, according to WHEC.

Rochester is on Lake Ontario. It about halfway between Syracuse and Buffalo, or it is roughly a 70 mile drive east of Buffalo.

Self-defense is a human right, and it might be your legal right in the State of New York, depending on where you find yourself in the state.

Rats, Meet Sinking Ship Named Chicago

I wouldn't stick around either Chicago Public Finance Watch: How Many Finance People Have Left?

Advice to the mayor (and CTU): GET REAL

Spoiler Alert: They won't get real. And another Spoiler Alert: If Democrats take over in Washington, they will bail out Chicago, which means you will be paying for their bad behavior.

A number of financial people have left Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration in the Windy City. It is almost like they get familiar with the books, and head for the exit. Almost.

With the most recent announcement of the budget director leaving, here’s the list I’ve got, in chronological order:

• Dec 2024, City Comptroller Chasse Rehwinkel
• Jan 2026, CFO Jill Jaworski
• June/July 2026 – Noor Shaikh, Deputy Chief Financial Officer
• Aug 2026, Acting CFO Steven Mahr
• Aug 2026, Budget Director Annette Guzman

Meep didn't count the people who left when Johnson was first elected. It is common for people to leave when an administration ends. She also didn't include the HR director, who also left.

Even back in the age of absolute monarchs, bad finance was enough to undermine power. That was what cut down kings time and again

Culture War 1.0 and the Origin of Shoe0nHead

This is both funny and sad at the same time.

Tumblr, the origins of GamerGate, the SJWs of 2014 were going on, and all the rest. This was before Andrew Tate, and a lot of household names, and common insults. Shoe0nHead was already pissed off about the insanity. It hasn't gotten better.

This is the Shoe0nHead video I Survived 'Woke 1.0' | The First Culture War, in which she revisits some of her early videos, including the one that apparently started it all.

That first video? oppression olympics, which was posted 21 July 2014.

Self-Defense in Georgia

They almost don't cover the legal aspects of the case. I think it is because the Professional Journalist™ class despises the very idea of self-defense. 'It takes kids down the wrong path' | Residents voice fears after deadly self-defense shooting in Warner Robins | 13-WMAZ

The Warner Robins Police Department said an overnight shooting on Ignico Drive that left an 18-year-old dead appeared to be in self-defense.

They don't say why the confrontation happened, but the shooter remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation.

Warner Robins, Georgia, is about a 20 mile drive south of Macon, or about a 100 mile drive south of Atlanta.

The article spends quite a bit of space on a line of thinking that basically boils down to "Neighbors were shocked."

The shooting has some longtime residents worried about what they see as a rise in violence.

"Some." Exactly why do the Professional Journalists™ believe that covering the feelings of a few people mean anything in relation to a story like this? "Some People" feel one way. "Some People" feel differently. What does that mean? Why are feelings important?

Wilderness versus Google Maps

It didn't end well for the people depending on Google Maps. A group of teen hikers relied on Google Maps. It was a disaster.

This story is from Canada, but similar things have happened in America.

A teen hiking group trusted Google Maps on a B.C. alpine trail. It ended in a helicopter rescue.

I don't know what the Canadian equivalent of a US Geological Survey Topographical Map might be, but I am sure they exist. If you're in Canada you should invest in some. If you're in the US use USGS Topo map. Not Google Maps, not Apple Maps, not Open Maps. A mapping system that understands topographical detail. And you might want to check on where flash flooding is an issue if you're in the US Southwest.

When a group of teenagers set out to hike British Columbia’s famed Howe Sound Crest Trail in early July, Google Maps suggested the trek would take about five hours.

Instead, the hike stretched deep into the night, leaving the group exhausted, dehydrated, injured and in need of a helicopter rescue.

This is the part where relying on Google Maps (just because you found it on the internet, doesn't mean it is true) which isn't really a good source.

The Howe Sound Crest Trail is one of British Columbia’s most iconic alpine trails, following a rugged ridgeline overlooking Howe Sound just north of Vancouver. Although the approximately 18-mile route with a 6,000-foot elevation gain can be completed by experienced trail runners in a day, search and rescue officials generally recommend hikers treat it as a two-day backpacking trip.

Click thru for the rest of the details. (Hat tip to Pixy Misa at Ambient Irony) Was this a Darwin Award near miss? Maybe not.

The last time I read a story like this, was in March of last year. Darwin Award Near Miss Times 2. Two groups, making the same mistake, in the same place in Utah, in January and February of 2025.

You can download USGS Topographical Maps online for free. If you want paper maps, there is a cost, which I have not been able to pin down. (It varies by map.) I doubt the cost of paper maps is prohibitive. Paper is always a good backup, since you don't need power, battery, internet, anything except light. But you can certainly do planning while connected to the internet.

Jordan Salinas - You Should Remember His Name

We need to remember the people who step up, and forget the monsters that they work to stop. We should remember Jordan Salinas of Idaho.

This is Colion Noir's video The Idaho In-N-Out Good Guy With A Gun Finally Got Mainstream Coverage

Here is the name of someone else you should remember: Elisjsha Dicken.

In July of 2022, Elisjsha Dicken was eating in the food court of an Indiana mall, when a gunman emerged from a bathroom, and opened fire on the crowd. In 15 seconds, marked from the time the gunman opened fire, Mr. Dicken drew his weapon, and shot ten rounds toward the gunman. The autopsy revealed that he had been hit 8 times. He crawled back into the bathroom, where he died.

Good Guys With Guns

From the New York Post we get the following. Hero civilian who fired back at In-N-Out shooter trained in self defense after witnessing another mass shooting

Police said the death toll would have undoubtedly been higher without the quick-thinking actions of Salinas and the off-duty cop

“These people are true heroes in our community,” Johnson said of the two men who returned fire. “They diverted the shooter and without a doubt saved many lives.”

Remember Jordan Salinas.

Jordan Salinas, 35, a healthcare worker and the full-time caregiver of his brother, who uses a wheelchair, had been horseback riding with his girlfriend the morning of the shooting when the couple pulled into the Twin Falls In-N-Out location for lunch and immediately noticed something amiss.

Do You Trust the Statistics Around COVID-19?

It is hard to believe numbers when it is clear everything else the government told us about the pandemic was a lie. Almost everything else. Lies, Damned Lies, and COVID-19 : The Other McCain

I have been ignoring (almost) everything about COVID at this point. I don't expect Fauci, or anyone else really, to be held accountable for the insanity. Apparently the recent kerfuffle is about a statement from David Frum. The Other McCain dug a little deeper into what his statistics were.

THE PEW RESEARCH CENTER? You’re making arguments about medical policy based on work by a polling company?

Public opinion is a funny thing. Even "expert opinion" can be an issue. If 2/3rds of the population of the Earth believe that the world is flat, does that make them right? Look up what "expert opinion" was during Galileo's day, and what they did to him for daring to challenge that opinion.

This song is "Get Over It" by Eagles from their 1994 album Hell Freezes Over. It was included in the 1999 "best of" collection.

Self-Defense Is Legal in Cincinnati

This incident occured in April, but the local media stopped covering it once it was clear that the DA was going to rule self-defense. I've included a link to one of the news stories (so called) below the link to the video, but the video is really the point.

There is security camera video from two perspectives.

Hartwell is one of the 52 neighborhoods in Cincinnat.

This is the Active Self Protection video ASP Viewer WRECKS Armed Robber. Embedding of the video is forbidden, because it is age-restricted. It is 16 minutes long.

Here is a typical news story from WCPO, the Cincinnati affiliate of ABC. Police: 40-year-old dead after shooting in Hartwell

Cincinnati police said District 4 officers responded to De Camp Avenue at around 4 a.m. for a reported person shot. When they arrived, they found Robert Andrews, 40, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Three local media outlets covered the story before the video came out, because gun violence is all they care about.

People Are Being Stupid - Idaho Edition

The people being stupid are everywhere; the topic they are being stupid about is Idaho. Another Seriously dumb motherf.... - by Miguel Gonzalez

The Left, and some on the Right, are going on about how the "Idaho Hero" missed his shots, as if that means anything.

Really? Aren’t you a retarded cupcake full of stupid sprinkles? Let me ask you this. You are outside your home doing something, maybe painting the front porch or washing your car and suddenly you realize that somebody is shooting at you, but you have not been hit yet. The question is what you do next, continue as if nothing is happening (I mean, he is missing, right) or ... ?

It is just a coincidence that the bad guy decided to kill himself, just at the moment he encountered resistance. Pure coincidence. Or is it?

Lead Me To The Slaughter

Gore is a band I know very little about. I have seen them described as a Melodic Metalcore band. (That is a mixture of Death Metal, and Hardcore Punk, with maybe some other Metal influences.) They are from Texas and I found them by way of the Tidal streaming service and the playlist "The Metalist: Best New Metal & Hard Rock"

This is what Rocked had to say. Gore. Return With New Single “Lead Me To The Slaughter”

Texas metal four-piece GORE. — vocalist Haley Roughton, guitarist Alex Reyes, bassist Devin Birchfield, and drummer Wills Weller — are back and with a vengeance unparalleled.

The band says the song is about being indoctrinated into a cult. Lyrics can be found at this link.

This song is "Lead Me To The Slaughter" by Gore. It was released as a single in June of 2026.

Good Guy With a Gun in Idaho

The American mainstream media seems to be completely silent on this incident. This morning there are finally some mainstream reports, though a couple are still downplaying the role of the civilian. Three Dead Outside a Twin Falls In-N-Out, Armed Bystander Engaged the Shooter With a Suppressed Pistol Causing Him to Retreat - USA Carry

A bystander, possibly named Jordan Salinas, engaged the shooter with a handgun, although details about his involvement remain unverified.

X/Twitter seems convinced.

The mainstream media likes to pretend that good guys with guns never step up.

What stays with me is the direction he moved. A man was shooting people in a burger restaurant parking lot at four in the afternoon on a Saturday, and everyone in that lot was running the other way. Whatever the investigation eventually says about whose rounds landed where, a man with a pistol on his hip closed distance on that threat instead of leaving it to work through the crowd unopposed.

We do have law enforcement's confirmation of who the original (bad guy) shooter was. BREAKING: Twin Falls In-N-Out shooter identified as 24-year-old Chad Williams—motive unknown

Police have identified the suspect in Saturday’s deadly shooting at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho, as 24-year-old Chad Williams. Williams is deceased after suffering a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

I'm sure more will be posted in the next couple of days.

Water Systems Are Still Not Secure and Are Being Attacked

The first time I remember reading about an attack targeting water systems was in 2021. It seems not every system has taken action to secure against attacks since then. Hackers targeted municipal water systems in 7 states this week, FBI says

Some day cities, counties, states, and other public agencies will take security seriously. Unfortunately, today is not that day.

Cyberattacks targeting municipal water systems have been reported in at least seven states this week, prompting the FBI and the Environmental Protection Agency to warn utilities nationwide that hackers are trying to disrupt critical water infrastructure.

The attacks come after 30 water systems in Minnesota were targeted.

The new federal advisory said the malicious cyber actors, or MCAs, targeted specific brands of control systems used by municipal water utilities, though the FBI and the EPA urged operators of all systems to take precautions.

This warning should not be necessary, but apparently a lot of government agencies still believe in the myth that "it can't happen to us." They basically believe that they live on magic dirt, or that their zip code protects them from cyberattack. Spoiler Alert: It does not.

Infrastructure should not be on the public internet. If you think your particular bit of infrastructure needs to be on the public internet, then you need every bit of intrusive security you can think of.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) - the agency named by the Department of Redundancy Department - has issued guidance in this area. CISA Joins Australia and Others to Publish Guidance to Isolate Operational Technology and Enabling Systems in Critical Infrastructure

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), United Kingdom’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-UK), and Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) published CI Fortify – Advice for Isolating Vital Systems. This joint guidance, led by ASD, helps critical infrastructure operators protect essential services from escalating cyber threats and ensure continuity of operations during cyber incidents or geopolitical crises.

The document can be found at this link. CI Fortify – Advice for isolating vital systems. The documentation is available in a couple of formats. The PDF is 16 pages long.

The information about the Minnesota attacks can be found at Iran hackers hit 30 Minnesota public water systems in coordinated cyberattack

The 2021 attack info can be found at In Florida city, a hacker tried to poison the drinking water.

I documented this mostly for my own reference, but if I lived in a more urban area, and relied on a municipal or county water agency, I might be tempted to write a FOIA request about cybersecurity efforts. You can't ask for details of the security, but you can ask for budget information.

And I still think the CISA logo looks to be straight out of the 1960s, or maybe the '50s.

UPDATE: This has now reached the regular news. Good Morning America has had a story on the situation. 7 states now targeted by cyberattacks on American water system: Sources

EV Silverado Fire

An electric Silverado that hadn't been driven or charged in two weeks, because the family that owned it was away from home, caught fire spontaneously.

This incident took place on 12 July 2026 in Troy, Michigan, which is about 15 miles north of downtown Detroit.

The family in question had enough sense to park the vehicle far enough away from the house, that there was only minimal damage to the structure.

This is the StacheD Training video Electric Silverado Catches Fire After Sitting for Two Weeks

Troy is the largest volunteer department in Michigan. We have six stations.

Pat, at StacheD is a firefighter, and an engineer. He usually tries to explain what is going on with the technology, and not just show photos, or video of fires. I appreciate the information he provides. In this case he details the construction of the battery pack. It was a 205 kilowatt battery, weighing in at about 3000 pounds. He has a diagram, that he uses to explain why fighting the fire was so difficult.

Once the battery is in thermal runaway, there's really no way to stop it, especially with pouch style cells.

It took about 4 hours to get the temperature down to where the vehicle could be transported to a junk yard. A firetruck had to follow the flat bed to the yard. The video is 8 minutes.
