Went to Bass Pro yesterday, looking to find some cheap range ammo and maybe a few other odds and ends. The Mrs. wants her own range bag. Cool. We can do this. I find some steel-cased Winchester ammo for under $10 a box, so I now have a couple of those to see how the gun likes it. And the Mrs. went bag shopping.
One of the displays was a TACTICAL range bag. All black, of course. Lots of pockets. Spots for this and that. And it's all TACTICAL, with MOLLE and VELCRO and stuff. $60.
Down on the other end of that section were some Cabela's mini-duffle bags. If'n ya don't know, Bass Pro bought Cabelas, so they're one and the same now. Anyways, mini duffle bags. They can accommodate a 10" pistol case, several boxes of ammo, a cleaning kit, eyes & ears, and a few odds and ends. Multiple colors. $12. The Mrs. snagged two of them, one for her range bag and one for her luggage set because it's carry-on sized.
I gave her a little crap about it, just for fun. "But honey, they aren't (fingers making air quotes) TACTICAL!"
Her: "Screw that! I'm not stupid enough to spend $60 for a $12 bag!"
So yeah, now she's got a bag. All we have to do is buy the pistol to put in it.
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. - Robert A. Heinlein -

Man sacked from college position for telling the truth.
Women do not have penises.
Women cannot have penises. Men cannot have vaginas. This is simple truth. That people are getting fired for saying simple truth shows you how far down the path of societal destruction we have traveled.
A student editor at a top university has been fired in a transphobia row after he tweeted that 'women don't have penises'.
Angelos Sofocleous, assistant editor at Durham University's philosophy journal 'Critique', was sacked from his post after just three days for writing a tweet deemed 'transphobic' by fellow students.
Mr Sofocleous, 24, from Cyprus, faced disciplinary action last month after he re-tweeted an article by The Spectator on his Twitter titled 'Is it a crime to say women don't have penises?', with the comment: 'RT if women don't have penises'.Women do not have penises. Transgenderism is a mental illness that society has allowed to become expressed in public.

Not a shock
There are more illegal aliens living in America than people want to admit.
I would be willing to bet my paycheck that it's even higher than the 22.1 million. When remittances, money being sent back to Mexico by Mexicans living in America, has become the #1 or #2 source of revenue for Mexico, that has to come from a massive population of Mexicans.
I'm very happy that they published their work, along with their admission that they thought the numbers would be lower. But the only people who think the numbers are low are people who have never lived in the real world for a good long time.
Live in Van Nuys or Encino for a bit, and tell me that illegal immigration is low. Ain't gonna happen.
Using mathematical modeling on a range of demographic and immigration operations data, the researchers estimate there are 22.1 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. Even using parameters intentionally aimed at producing an extremely conservative estimate, they found a population of 16.7 million undocumented immigrants…

The authors were surprised by the results. They actually expected their numbers would come in slightly lower than the accept data, but as you can see, the accepted number (the blue line) is so low that it’s not even a possible lower estimate based on their study.

Since high school memories are now a thing
Here are some memories that Christine Blasey Ford would probably like to forget. Which is why her high school literally scrubbed them from the internet. But not before someone made a few copies!
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Although in this case it's the goose getting doused with the sauce she's trying to pour.
I can honestly say I didn't do have that shit in high school, and the crap I did do I never recorded.

Why are Homosexuals so desperate for Bert and Ernie to be gay?
And they are desperate for it. Even if the creator of Bert says they're not.
Such a plain statement caused the gay crowd to go into a tizzy, furious that their gay narrative just got stopped. But why? Why such a desire to make two iconic puppets from a children's show fit into the gay narrative?
Well... CHILDREN'S show. From "The Last Closet"
They know that homosexuals are not "born that way". They are made. What better way to help make more than to make a children's show into indoctrination?
Master puppeteer Frank Oz, whom everyone remembers as Yoda in "Star Wars," publicly disputed Saltzman's claim from his Twitter account: "It seems Mr. Mark Saltzman was asked if Bert & Ernie are gay. It’s fine that he feels they are. They’re not, of course. But why that question? Does it really matter? Why the need to define people as only gay? There’s much more to a human being than just straightness or gayness."

Well... CHILDREN'S show. From "The Last Closet"
What sets gay culture apart from straight culture is the belief that early sex is good and beneficial, and the sure knowledge (don’t think for a second that they DON’T know) that the only way to produce another homosexual is to provide a boy with sexual experiences BEFORE he can be “ruined” by attraction to a girl.

Shit like this is why nobody trusts the government
Because he's right when he says it's almost impossible to fire him. Which is wrong, because this little turd deserves to be fired.
Yes, the Deep State exists. Yes, it is anti-American, anti-Freedom, anti-Libery, and anti-Democracy. Shit like this is why Trump got elected in the first place - because we Normals are tired of watching snot-nosed communists bury themselves into the government like a tick and then work to destroy America from the inside out, all the while laughing at the Normals who observe their country being taken apart.

Truth, plainly spoken
There is no such thing as "government money".
The government cannot spent what it does not first take from someone who earned it. The government does not "generate revenue", it taxes the productive and takes their money. The government doesn't earn a paycheck, it takes from other people's paychecks. Even when the government raises money through bonds, they have to pay back those bonds with money... taken from the productive citizens.
"Oh, but Dave, don't you want roads and schools and fire departments?" A - we had those prior to the income tax. B - government schools are a complete and utter failure, and the entire system needs to be destroyed.
Now pardon me, I have more guns to look at. The Mrs. may have determined what pistol she wants, but I still have a smoargasboard of bangity goodness to peruse.
There’s quite simply no difference between private and public money other than “government money” is wealth taxed or borrowed away from the private sector. To state what’s rather obvious, governments only have money to spend insofar as the private sector is creating the wealth in the first place.

The Mrs. has found her pistol
We don't have it yet, because guns require money and money requires saving, but we found the gun that she'll be getting: A Ruger LC9s Pro. We went to a local place where a gent pulled out various pistols and then drove down to his backyard range and the Mrs. put them through their paces.
Side note: The M&P Shield EZ? Awesome little gun. If you have ladies in your life who don't like the recoil of a 9mm, and can't handle the tiny little grips on most 380's, have them try the Shield EZ. You can literally rack the slide with one finger, but there's enough spring that the recoil is slight. The Mrs. prefers the 9mm, but she also liked the EZ.
So anyways, once we roll up our pennies and save our dimes, we'll be heading out to the shop to pick up her pistol. And from there it's practice, practice, range time, range time, and then concealed carry permit.
Boo-yah, baby.

The Democrats are flat out hypocrites here
I know, that's an evergreen headline, but while the entire Left side of the political sphere hyperventilates over a 35 year old rape accusation that cannot be proved or corroborated in any way shape or fashion, they're doing their best to bury the woman who has come out with her story about how Keith Ellison assaulted her. Oh, and she has actual proof.
The DNC will use lies and baseless accusations to destroy a good man, but when it comes to one of their stars who likes to beat women? Nothing to see here.
Shove THAT in their face the next time they splutter about Kavanaugh.

The Death of the Democrat Media Complex
Cannot come too soon.
But Dave, where will we get our news from? I dunno, maybe from people who actually go out and find the truth instead of the brainless DNC Stenographer Pool?

The bullshit about Brett Kavanaugh
She admits she doesn’t remember key details like exactly when the incident occurred or where specifically, and she says the first time she told anyone about it was when she was in couples counseling with her husband in 2012 — 30-some years after the night in question, but the woman at the center of the decades-old allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has now come forward.
Let's imagine a scenario - your daughter comes running up to you saying that some boy kissed her without her permission. You ask her the five W's - who, what, when, where, and why. Maybe she can't give you the why, that's OK. But then she can't give you the where, or the when, only the who and the what.
What, exactly are you going to you? You hunt down the offender in question, who plainly says "Nope, wasn't me." It's now down to he said-she said, and you want to believe your little girl, but absent any other proof, would you attempt to punish the young man?
Oh, and now you find out that the young man's mommy made a legal decision that negatively effected your little darling's friends. What do you think of the situation now?
Of course, in the real world, the young man's mommy didn't make a decision that effected the young girl's friends. No, that mommy was the judge in a foreclosure case of the young lady's parents. Yeah. Follow the bouncing ball here. Brett Kavanaugh's mother is the judge who presided over his accuser's parents' home-foreclosure case. Which they lost.
So, this woman, a hard left activist, pops up out of nowhere with a convenient accusation wherein she remembers the crime and the person but not the when and the where, and she gets to help destroy the son of the woman who foreclosed on her parents' house? That's the cherry on top of the sundae there, innit?
And even if we assume that this hard-left activist's tale of woe is true, can we just take into consideration how stupid and pathetic it is to hold a 50-something man accountable for getting to third base when he was a teenager? This from the party that lionized a man who got drunk, tried to take a girl home, crashed, and left her in his car to drown while he contemplated his political career? The same party that protected Bill Clinton while woman after woman was coming forward with tales about his perverted behavior? NOW they're getting the vapors and begging for a fainting couch? But not just yet, too soon don't you know. This entire thing is a political hit job from the Left, which means it's absolute bullshit and flat out lies. This has been the MO for a couple of elections now. Trot out an accuser, have everyone on TV yelling "SHAME! SHAME!" And then after the elections, what happens?
What happened to all those women accusing Donald Trump? What happened to all those women accusing Roy Moore? They faded away, because their usefulness was over, and they were no longer needed by the Democrats. This is made-up bullshit by a far-left activist with a grudge. Count on it.
