A Virginia man uses a flamethrower to clear his driveway of snow!
Beats shoveling! The man who uses a FLAMETHROWER to clear his driveway of snow.
One man has found a neat way to avoid the laborious work of clearing the driveway of snow – use a flamethrower.
Nathanael Caplinger hit upon the idea when he read a magazine advertisement for a handheld flamethrower which highlighted its usefulness in clearing snow.
He first checked with state and local laws then consulted with officials about whether it was legal to use flames to clear snow.
From WRIC Newsroom/WSET:
One southwest Virginia man got a little overzealous when tasked with clearing his driveway after this most recent snow storm.
Nathanael Caplinger decided to leave his shovel in the garage, and use his flamethrower to melt the snow instead.
Caplinger told ABC affiliate WSET that he hates shoveling snow. So, after reading an ad in a magazine about a blowtorch, which advertised its usefulness in clearing snow, he decided to try it out.
He bought one after researching the state and local laws and consulting with local officials.
Caplinger said the flamethrower worked like a charm but emphasized the importance of using the device safely.
“Make sure there’s no flammables nearby,” he said. “Make sure it’s only what you want to burn, make sure afterward hang out for about a half hour, make sure nothing reignites.”
Public safety officials in Amherst where Caplinger lives said that while Caplinger’s method worked, it may not be for everybody.
The official encouraged anyone who is thinking about using such a device to contact local officials first.

BOMBSHELL: Obama pardoned General Cartwright on his last day in office, for leaking secrets to the NYT about Stuxnet (the US-Israeli cyber attacks on Iran). Treason!
1.Obama pardoned General Cartwright on his last day in office, for leaking secrets to the NYT about Stuxnet (the US-Israeli cyber attacks on Iran). Oh – and if this incredible thread is true, he just happens to be the Uncle of Peter Strzok’s first cousin, Devin.
2. Cartwright, ‘Obama’s favorite General’, was a key member of Obama’s NatSec team and head of the U.S. Strategic Command. His leak to the media wasn’t revealed until 2016. He later pleaded guilty for lying to FBI agents pursuing an investigation into the leak.
3. In March 2015, the Washington Post reported that the sensitive leak investigation had “stalled amid concerns that a prosecution in federal court could force the government to confirm” information about the highly classified program.
Who was the investigator?
ROD ROSENSTEIN.
4. Now – the relevant NYT article based on Cartwright’s leaks portrays an aggressive Obama ramping up cyber attacks on Iran.
See:
5. Notice the date? June 1, 2012. Which seems odd, because Obama had invested siginficant time negotiating with the mullahs that year as part of the 5+1.
7. By 2012, Obama’s administration had also turned a blind eye to Hezbollah running a massive drugs and money laundering scheme within the USA.
See:
8. Obama was almost certainly spying on domestic opponents of his Iran deal as far back as 2010.
See:
9. So WHY would Obama’s ‘favorite General and key NatSec advisor leak to the NYT about Stuxnet, just when Obama was pushing hard to get friendly with the mullahs? Obama MUST have known about & approved this leak (remember he pardoned the General later).
10. Remember, Operation Olympic Games was NOT an Obama initiative. It started under Dubya in 2006 and has been described as ‘probably the most significant covert manipulation of the electromagnetic spectrum since World War II (Enigma).
11. Who did the US work with to develop the virus? Israel.
12. Until that leak by Gen Cartwright, no government had officially been confirmed as responsible for the development & use of Stuxnet. It basically signalled classified information – to THE MULLAHS.
13. On August 15, 2012, Dishonorable Disclosures, a 22-minute documentary film is released by the Special Operations OPSEC group. Their accusation?
14. ‘The Obama administration ‘willfully leaked the existence of STUXNET (a computer worm used against Iran), allowing our enemies to learn more of our secrets and of our operations.’
They are ridiculed and smeared by Obama and his press dogs.
15. In summary: Obama and his stooges were leaking classified information to the NYT to tip off the Iranians about the US-Israeli collaboration behind the Stuxnet virus, using media slaves.
In this case the stooge was Generated Cartwright, a key Obama insider.
16. They were aiding and abetting an adversary of the USA, Iran. And placing an ally, Israel, in an extremely difficult position.
This at a time when they were protecting Hezbollah within the USA.
One word: TREASON.
17. And of the thread I RTd at #1 is true, Gen Cartwright is related to none other than Peter Strzok, FBI agent who Trump has accused of treason.
The Cartrwight conveniently pardoned by Obama on his last day.
Yes – you DID read that right.
18. We talk about Clinton’s many crimes, but when it comes to hard core treason and corruption, all roads lead back to one man:
Barack Hussein Obama.
He is going down.
19. Oh have no fear. Hillary will be indicted and tried for her many crimes.
But now I have NO doubt that Obama is Trump’s #1 target. And that Trump will make that sob pay BIGLY for what he did to America.

The Left demands that we remove statues and symbols that offend them. When are we going to remove the sidewalk stars from the Hollywood Walk of Fame for all celebrities accused of sexual misconduct and pedophilia?
Let’s start a movement everyone can to get behind. #RemoveTheirStar
Remember when a deranged Liberal used a sledgehammer and a pickaxe to destroy Donald Trump’s star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame?
OtherComments Off on Why So Many American Catholics Loathe Pope Francis
Jul262017
Asking “Is the Pope Catholic?” no longer seems to be a merely rhetorical question for many.
Around the world, Pope Francis is understandably rather popular. It’s not just that he’s a good pastor; it’s that he doesn’t hesitate to speak truth to power when he can have an effect.
But he’s probably less popular among US Catholics than anywhere else in the Church. The reasons for that are instructive, and not only for Catholics.
Tom Hoopes, writer in residence at Benedictine College, Kansas, recently published a book of reflections on the message of Pope Francis: What Pope Francis Really Said: Words of Comfort and Challenge. Having followed Hoopes’ writing for a number of years, I respect his opinions even when I disagree with him.
So a few days ago, I lapped up a promotional interview for his book: Why Aren’t Catholics Rallying Around the Pope?. It’s for a conservative Australian publication, and it’s a pleasure to hear him explain conservative American Catholics to conservative Australian Catholics!
One complaint common among Americans is that Francis represents a break with Pope Benedict. That isn’t really true, of course. Hoopes says it’s
“…a difference in style, not substance, in Francis from his predecessors. None of them can be classified as “conservative” or “liberal.” They all have “liberal” views on economics, the environment and immigration and “conservative” views on sexual ethics, the role of religion and “old fashioned” Catholic truths such as the Devil, Mary and Confession.
One stylistic difference is Francis’s harsh attitude toward economic sinners and his red-hot contempt for the Western “myths” he calls out: individualism, consumerism, and blind faith in technology.
That “stylistic difference,” however, sets many conservative American Catholics’ teeth on edge. Most such Catholics are Republicans, originally because of the abortion issue. To be Republican by conviction is, of course, to support “free-market” capitalism, including constant technological innovation and limited government, which usually translates into wanting less labor and environmental regulation as well as reined-in social spending. Given the wave of populism that brought Donald Trump into the White House, it now also means increasing restrictions on immigration and harsher penalties for illegal immigrants.
So it’s largely Francis’ politics that conservative American Catholics dislike. My friend David Mills, another Catholic journalist and editor, notes that they especially resent the Pope’s “…criticism of the kind of totalizing and optimistic kind of free market economics conservative American Catholics embrace…I don’t think you can exaggerate how devoted to their politics many Catholics are, to the point that it drives their religion. This has long been a conservative Catholic critique of liberal Catholics, and not unfairly, but it applies to the right as much as to the left.”
But conservative American Catholics also dislike Francis’ welcoming approach to the divorced-and-remarried. Though I’m all-too-familiar with the intricacies of the dispute, I can’t get into them here. Suffice it to say that many think he’s abandoning the Church’s traditional teaching about the indissolubility of marriage: not by denying it—he actually affirms it, in theory—but by making its pastoral application so flexible as to render it irrelevant. In the conservative Catholic mind, there could hardly be any greater papal sin than that.
The net effect of all these resentments is to make a large swath of theologically educated and influential American Catholics very angry with Pope Francis. Asking “Is the Pope Catholic?” no longer seems to be a merely rhetorical question for many. That is not edifying, but neither is it unprecedented.
