Gun presents a list of the top 10 songs that, for him, define the Seattle Grunge sound of the 1990s plus 3 bonus lists, links in [Show notes](http://wp.me/p5xPCo-KM).
Mike Pence keeps saying that Hillary and Obama made ISIS by creating a vacuum. That’s so damn stupid. Nepal is has a power vacuum, no ISIS. The Australian Outback- HUGE VACUUM of power- no ISIS. Most of the American Southwest is largely vacuous and devoid of central leadership, still, no ISIS. A power vacuum is just a power vacuum until some idiot in the US, Russia, Qatar, or Saudi Arabia starts throwing millions of bucks at some guy with 2 or 3 nom de guerres. Funding pissant warlords or local hate groups has been the Obama foreign policy model.
Hillary and Obama made ISIS a super-power by funding known AQI fighters they told us were “moderate rebels” who then became/joined ISIS… that’s DIRECT involvement. Why are Trump and Pence saying this pussy, wishy-washy “indictment” of Obama/Clinton foreign policy?
Gun loses it on Trump/Pence and their delicate way of discussing ISIS and the embarrassing direct US involvement in creating the modern caliphate. Why aren’t they indicting Hillary and Obama more directly when their is a well defined paper trail of State Dept. meddling leading up to the rise of ISIS.
Tech wants Colin Powell on the show to help us bash Hillary and Trump. Also #LetGaryDebate! Gov. Johnson just needs 6 more points to make it on the debate stage.
Gun presents a list things Americans frequently toss around about race and racism that just don’t hold water with historical facts, science, or critical thinking. Enjoy.
10. “I’m not racist, I know lots of Mexicans.” A Country is not a race – and if it is, it might not be the race you’re thinking
9.”My race votes this way, their race would never vote our way!” Race does not effect your politics, it just doesn’t.
8.”The Bible is racist!” Race mixing is not spoken against in the Bible
7.”You must be respectful of other peoples race” This is a confusing one, but generally, people are people and don’t necessarily like having their race being pointed out for no real reason and to be clumped in a giant group. People are individuals. So you don’t need to say, “I don’t like” this or that, and then turn to someone and because of their race say “No offense.” They might also dislike this or that, saying “no offense” is offensive because you are assuming they like that, and on top of that, you’re stating a dislike for that clump you just clumped them in.
6.Other countries are less racist then us
5.”Slavery WAS a bad thing for blacks” No, Slavery IS a bad thing FOR EVERYONE. Slavery is a real thing that still exists, when people attach it to one race or to the past it makes people think it’s over, and it’s not. From the gulags to the concentration camps to the sex trade and human trafficking of eastern Europe and Asia and now boka haram, isis, and blossoming new Muslim slave economy, slavery is far from abolished and for exactly none of the reasons Americans are protesting about. The people protesting and talking about slavery in America are not even acknowledging the existence of the modern slaves.
4.”America has always been racist” Strangely enough, not always AS racist would be the qualifier in shooting this one down. The concepts of racism, the white on top concepts being
3.”That’s DEHUMANIZING!” Dehumanizing is one of the most over-used and misused phrase in the fight against racism and doesn’t help because hyperbole never does. The kind of racist media that is DEHUMANIZING is very specifically stuff compares a human to another species or to inanimate objects or machinery.
Using the really common sense logical break down, you can see that, while incredibly insensitive, BLACK FACE is not inherently dehumanizing. Amos and Andy was racist- but the white people in the show were playing black people, not Animals. Same with Lawrence Olivia as Othello, Othello was a human, not a dog or a monkey or a piece of farm equipment, therefor, it doesn’t make sense to call that blackface dehumanizing. What it really shows is that they weren’t comfortable hiring a non-white actor, therefor robbing blacks of playing a famous Moorish character… which brings me to a big one…
2. “The Moors were black” Moors weren’t black, just historically, Moors were Muslims from North Africa LONG after Arabs had invaded and teraformed the area. Just kidding about the teraforming but there might be more desert than before, I don’t know. There were some that were black but life wasn’t known to be easy since Arabs treated blacks as second class citizens AT BEST in many of the Moor territories and as completely dehumanized farm equipment in others. A lot of North African ethnicity are part black and part Arab but to read the read Moor as just black, you’re definitely into revisionist history. There’s been some amazing parts of black history- and yes America, black history happened before America- were blacks fought off the Muslims as they were taking most of North Africa. African Christians have existed hundreds of year
1. “RACISM IS ALIVE AND WELL IN AMERICA!” As I pointed out, there have been ups and downs in America when it comes to
╠═════════╡Post Show Notes ╞═════════╣
I didn’t even get to all the logical wholes in the concept of “White Privilege,” or as I call it: #Humblebrag white supremacy or bizarre misconceptions regarding the #BLACKLIVESMATTER vs #ALLLIVESMATTER debate. Oh well, I think it was a pretty solid show.

Gun presents a list compiled by members of The Podcaste of companies that provide a service online that when translated to cell phone technology, becomes dumbed down garbage.
Top 10 Companies that underestimate mobile devices
(Companies that make websites or software that your phone could easily handle but instead it’s completely dumbed down for no reason)
1. Biggest Offender: GOOGLE! – Limited access to Google Drive doc creation
2. Facebook – individual app for each FB service (Messenger app, Pages Manager app)
3. Reddit – Can’t access messenges at all from mobile app, because you know, phones can’t do that!
4. Twitter – While the twitter app has some cool features, like being able to switch between accounts relatively easily, they also have some wierd things, like limited ability to edit you profile- like you can edit most of your profile from your device but can’t, from some reason, edit specifically your listed birthday from mobile. Yep, you have to sitting at a desk to know when you were born.
5. iHeartRadio – You have to log in to a computer to sync a device, it straight up shits on the platform (mobile) that it was DESIGNED for by letting you know you CANNOT link an account with a smart tv without doing so from a PC
6. Microsoft
7. Youtube
8. Cisco
9. Amazon
10. local news websites/apps

SFW
[Audio + Show notes](http://wp.me/p5xPCo-IK)
Tech and Gun are joined by Dr. Jason Arthur Taylor to discuss some real news stories. What does the old lady shooting down a drone mean for property rights and technological evolution? Hillary’s use of “Bleachbit” shows intent, but what was she hiding and did hackers get the goods before she could delete? Does Uber just straight up hate people? Should the government vet immigrants by social media? Listen to the lively volley!
Gun goes off on Event Planning Woes, this week’s TopTenTuesday, after that is last week’s Wiretap Wednesday where Tech describes the layer of Hell he’s in.
1. Not getting responses from Advertising
2. Getting responses from Advertising personally, verbally but no purchase or RSVP

Tech declares race a matter of cultural or political perspective, superficial. Gun demands we all get along and in doing so, make interracial babies. Tech covers the Olympics. Gun actually says something nice about Trump.
This is a mini-podcast where “Gun” Sully, a pro-2nd Amendment guy (hence the nickname) explains why he was offended by Trump’s “2nd Amendment people” comment. Also, please stop trying to convert us, Goddess Hillary worshipers.

Show notes:
I, gunsully, don’t care to be clumped into a group and talked about like a scary boogeyman. I hate the “Second Amendment People” comment the same way I hated Hillary blaming the video for 9/11/12. I’m not part of a mob, group-think, or hive mind. I’m not planning on any form or illegal activity or even lawful protest with my firearm. If both Hillary and Trump think I’m in a boogeyman caste, then I’m DEFINITELY voting Johnson.
Trump’s quote:
(CROWD BOOING) If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don’t know. But — but I’ll tell you what. That will be a horrible day. If — if Hillary gets to put her judges — right now, we’re tied. You see what’s going on.
Dem friends: Stop trying to sell me on Hillary by bashing Trump- I already don’t like Trump. Also, don’t try to scare me.
Bonus point:
Rush Limbaugh: “A vote for a 3rd party is a vote for Hillary.” No, Rush, I’m voting for Gary Johnson, not Hillary Clinton. I’m not compromising my values to vote for Trump. My vote is not only my Choice, it’s my voice and damn it. We’ll get heard.
