The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

A fall morning on Garbin Moraine

Remember this blog is about gullibility so it is up to you to figure out if the photos are true.








We are hoping the frost holds off long enough so this is all yellow but it is iffy.

Immigration rant of the day


The politicians tell us we live in a nation built by immigrants. The liberal brand of politician also likes to tell us how unfair the nation built by immigrants is.

So are immigrants all wonderful people and we should let lots more of them in?

Some of the earliest immigrants in the country were the slave owners wonderful people that they were.

Then there were the slaves who were minding their own business back in their homelands until they were kidnapped and brought to the US  and their culture destroyed and a new slave culture based on violence created.  Fortunately many of the former slaves were able to overcome their pasts and adopt to the surroundings they ended up in and are good citizens but some aren't and our tax dollars pay for that.

Finally, their are the immigrants who fought with the native people here first, won and took their land and put them on reservations and also destroyed their cultures. Nice work immigrants.

This is rant is something to remember the next time someone tells you about how wonderful immigration is. It depends.

A problem for people with liberal values?

Usually when a minority group does something they don't like they have to make up excuses for them so what is the excuse here? Weren't these people supposed to be mowed down because they had weapons  like the open carry white gun nuts have? 


"Two dozen protesters from a gun club named for the founder of the Black Panther Party marched through the streets of South Dallas," Dallas News reported Wednesday. "The open-carry rally was organized by the Huey P. Newton Gun Club to promote self-defense and community policing in response to recent police shootings."

And the race of the guy who was the shooter was ???

"Salt Lake City police shooting investigation could take 2-3 weeks
Probe » Victim was unarmed when police confronted him, brother says.
First Published Aug 15 2014 12:34 pm • Last Updated Aug 19 2014 02:09 pm
It could be several weeks before investigators probing Salt Lake City police officers’ fatal shooting of a 20-year-old man present their findings to prosecutors, police said Friday.
"The only thing new I can tell you is that our investigators are optimistic that they will have a case ready for review by the [Salt Lake County] district attorney’s office in the next two to three weeks," South Salt Lake police Sgt. Darin Sweeten told The Tribune.
Dillon Taylor was shot by police Monday night outside a 7-Eleven store at 2102 S. State St. "

If you liked the book Heather has Two Mommies you'll love this one


From the web site: "Come join 13-year-old Brenna Strong along with her mom, Bea, and her dad, Richard, as they spend a typical Saturday running errands and having fun together. What's not so typical is that Brenna's parents lawfully open carry handguns for self-defense. The Strongs join a growing number of families that are standing up for their 2nd Amendment rights by open carrying and bringing gun ownership out of the closet and into the mainstream."

The biggest social problem in the country

visit: http://www.westernjournalism.com/bloombergs-everytown-ad-proves-why-women-should-be-armed/

The first ad when viewed by anti-gun people is a great ad. It confirms their way of looking at the world.  The first ad when viewed by pro-gun people it is also a great ad even if put out by the mayor and his minions. It confirms their outlook also.  How is this possible? Ever heard of the Rorschach ink spot test?  Pour some ink on a paper and look at it and tell us what  you see. People project their view of the world on the ink spots.  This brings us to the greatest social problem in the country:  people see what they want to see in events and it confirms their beliefs.  Take global warming for another example of this or the events at the southern border. Do we need to help all the poor children or avoid having lots of people come in the country illegally?

Believe it or not time?

"Detroit has experienced 37 percent fewer robberies in 2014 than during the same period last year, 22 percent fewer break-ins of businesses and homes, and 30 percent fewer carjackings. Craig attributed the drop to better police work and criminals being reluctant to prey on citizens who may be carrying guns.
“Criminals are getting the message that good Detroiters are armed and will use that weapon,” said Craig, who has repeatedly said he believes armed citizens deter crime. “I don’t want to take away from the good work our investigators are doing, but I think part of the drop in crime, and robberies in particular, is because criminals are thinking twice that citizens could be armed."

This is a bit old but interesting


People wonder why TWW has a sign in his bathroom declaring it to be a gun free zone. Here is why:

TWW will never shop at Hobby Lobby again

That is because he does not know where one is.


According to USA Today this is what the company wants to do and now the courts say they can: 

              "It (the ruling - editor) doesn't affect:
• Most birth control pills
• Condoms
• Sponges
• Sterilization
It does affect:
• Plan B "morning-after pill"
• Ella "morning-after pill"
• Hormonal and copper intrauterine devices (IUDs)
The companies in the case and their supporters object to IUDs and morning-after pills, saying they cause abortions by blocking a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus."
source: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/30/morning-after-iuds/11768653/
To a simple country bumpkin like TWW it appears Hobby Lobby is against paying for something they equate with abortion but not many common methods of birth control.

The key to preventing the next terrorist attack?

Finally a fresh idea on the subject:

"Here’s what doesn’t get the headlines: Empathy. Listening to those around you. Even if you don’t like them very much.
Despite being relevant and important discussions, the glamorous headlines are ultimately distractions — they just feed into the carnage and the attention and the fame the killer desired. They are distractions from what is right in front of you and me and the victims of tomorrow’s shooting: people who need help. And while we’re all fighting over whose pet cause is more right and more true and more noble, there’s likely another young man out there, maybe suicidally depressed, maybe paranoid and delusional, maybe a psychopath, and he’s researching guns and bombs and mapping out schools and recording videos and thinking every day about the anger and hate he feels for this world.
And no one is paying attention to him."

More how gullible are you (or how have you been hoodwinked?)

"You hear it all the time. Why, 97 percent of all climate scientists agree that global warming is dangerous and man is causing it.The debate is over and it's time to act! (With the very kinds of tax and regulatory policies liberals would advocate anyway.)
Did you ever think to question, though, what the basis of this 97 percent figure might be? "

The first senile women president?

Ronald Reagan was born in 1911 and sworn in in 1977 at 66 year of age. Hillary Clinton was born in 1947 and will be sworn in in 2017 at 70 years of age -- 4 years older than Reagan was.

National Inquirer say first couple has marital problems. Is this one of them?

How can the Democrats link the Republicans to this??

"On April 14, the terrorist group Boko Haram abducted more than 230 Nigerian girls at gunpoint from their Chibok boarding school.  Their heavily-armed kidnappers shot two armed guards, herded the terrified girls into buses, vans and trucks and drove them off into the night. Only a few escaped."
source: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2014/05/06/kidnapped-nigerian-girls-must-act-fast-against-boko-haram-terrorists/

TWW wants to know how the Democrats plan on using the fundamentalist Moslem war on women becoming educated as part of the Dem's war on women claims against the Republicans.
