I'm throwing this up here to remind me to purchase it

Consider this just a reminder to me.  You may follow suit if you wish.

Well, &%$#@!

Got home last night to a cold house.  The furnace is kaput.  Thank God we kept our space heaters after our last house had furnace issues.  We already notified the landlord, but it's almost New Year's.  We'll see how quickly an HVAC person can come on by.

As an aside, if you have any kids, get them interested in HVAC.  Calls like this will pay the guy's mortgage.

New Shooter (kinda) report

So, I was spending time with the fam this Christmas, just so y'all know.  Included in that is my step-son, who I hadn't seen since I booted him from the Casa de Rage back in 2012.  He'd kept in touch with his mom over the years, so it wasn't like we were not talking to each other.  He flew in from the Left Coast, where he's been working and adulting for the past few years, and doing a good job on the adulting part.

We did the usual Christmas stuff.  Eat lots of good food, open presents, drink good drinks, etc.  Included in that was a trip to the range, because why not?  He had it in his head that he wanted to try a .357 Magnum revolver.  Specifically the type used by the French counter-terrorism forces, because as he puts it "They shoot them more than any other gun and they still work".  So I found an article on said counter-terrorism forces.  What kind of revolvers do they use?  Well, they have the French MR 73.  Yeah, like we'll be able to find one of those around here.  But wait, what is this?  They also use the Smith and Wesson 686.

Now THAT is doable.

So we go to the local Merchant 'o Death, and we rent a S&W 686.  Buy a box of ammo.  Run the target out to 15 feet, because while he used to shoot with me back when he was a yoot, he hasn't touched a gun since then.  I ran through some of the basics with him:  proper stance, proper grip, breathing, trigger squeeze, so on and so forth.  And he proceeded to do a pretty darn good job of poking holes in paper.  Only a few were outside the lines, and most of his shots were within the eight-inch Shoot-n-See target I'd pasted on to the paper.

And he said he had fun.  Cool.

So, we see him off the next day.  He flies home.  Saturday night, the Mrs. gets a phone call from him.  "Hey, Mom, can I talk to Dave about a gun?"

He's at a gun shop, purchasing a 22LR revolver.  A Ruger Wrangler.  That'll be his practice gun, he says.  He's already looking around for a decent price on a S&W 686, but doesn't want to wait on his dream gun to get to the range again.

One more gun owner for the win!

As an aside, I put another eight-inch shoot-n-see in the head area, ran the target out to 50 feet, and put six rounds through it.  Now I want a S&W 686 with a six inch barrel.  What a sweet shooting gun....

Ave Maria

Go read.  And more importantly, go listen to the video.

You cannot convince me that there's no God.  Not when groups of people can get together and make that music.

Oh damn, I forgot to post something today.

Mea Culpa.  I was out doing family stuff.  Also, art gallery stuff.  There's a Norman Rockwell exhibit in Spokane that the Ragin' Mother wanted to go see, so we went.  I saw one of the Saturday Evening Post covers that I think I'm going to have to buy.



Understand that I play the ukulele, and my dear wife puts up with my yowling and yodeling with much the same look as that young lady in the art up there.  So when I saw this, I just started giggling.  And then I grabbed the Ragin' Mrs and showed it to her, and she started giggling as well.

Your regularly scheduled posts should start back up on Monday.

Random Crap I Like

I enjoy watching Sumo.



I blame my dad, who took me to Sumo matches when I was a yoot.

Sitting on a porch, enjoying a cigar

In the past few nights, I've listened to coyotes howl, turkeys roosting, deer doing that nose-whistle thing they do, and I've seen elk tracks, moose tracks, and of course the random raccoon and porcupine tracks.

Every time I think about driving back to the city, I cringe a little.

Mic drop

OK, yeah, but.....

So Boeing's Starliner's failure is being touted as some grand horrible failure that will end the world or something.

Boeing's new Starliner spacecraft landed in the New Mexico desert on Sunday morning — days after the NASA mission failed because the capsule's clock was improperly set, and the capsule ended up in the wrong orbit.

Yes, things didn't go quite right, but the spacecraft landed.  It was recovered.  Folks, space flight is hard.  It's not easy to do what we're trying to do.  And in case anyone wants a little context, the crew of the Apollo 1 mission died.  We've had two Space Shuttles disintegrate; one on take off, and one on landing.  The Ruskies had space craft blow the fuck up with people inside.

So we got a spacecraft that made orbit, landed and was recovered but didn't quite accomplish what people had hoped?  Dude, I'll take it.  Learn from the mistakes and move on to bigger and better things.  Finally.

The Fourth Sunday of Advent

The oldies are the good ones.

Light posting for a bit

I'm sure you understand.

A little secular Christmas music

It doesn't deal with religion, so I can play it before Christmas.  It's not cheating! 

Busy day

And I was busy yesterday, so I apologize for a light posting this morning. 

I haven't posted much on the shampeachment debacle, because there's not much I can say without cursing to the point of my post just being a string of expletives punctuated by a random word like "the" or "and".  And the House, having rammed through their shampeachment because it was so urgent (And somber! And serious!  And sober!  And sad!) have now decided that they're not going to send the Articles of Impeachment over to the Senate because they don't think the Senate is going to be "fair".

In a "fair" world, every single fucking one of those anti-American Democrat bastards would be hung from lamp-posts up and down the National Mall for their crimes against the Constitution.  But we don't live in a just world. 

I agree

Get the hell out of Afghanistan now.

The Taliban rules the countryside. The drug warlords are laughing at us. Our corrupt “allies” are raking in our cash, with trillions of our dollars spraying out of a massive spigot that the beneficiaries don’t want to cut off. But worse, our troops are dying in drips and drabs. Hell, a year ago one of my friends got shot there by somebody pretending to be our ally right up until the moment that turd decided to blast the infidels with a weapon we probably bought him. I do not presume to speak for my friend and I have no idea where he stands on the politics – like all our great soldiers, he’ll go where ordered and do his utmost – but I’m retired and I know where I stand.

I'm still wondering:  What is the objective for our troops in Afghanistan?  Anyone?  Can anyone of you, or anybody from the government that keeps wasting our blood and money in that barbarian shithole, tell me what our objective is in Afghanistan?

I don't think we actually have one.  I think at this point we're just going through the motions.

Afghanistan is a third-world shithole of the worst order.  It's not even a real country.  It's a geographical region filled with nine different tribes of people who all hate each other, but they're surrounded by mountains so the rest of the world calls them a "country".  They'll never be a functioning country, because they'll never have a functioning society as long as it's just nine musloid tribes all fighting each other, and that ain't gonna change any time soon.

You really can't trust any of the tribes, because they don't think like we do.  They don't have the same concept of "Honor" or "Integrity" that we do.  You can't function with them because they don't have the same mindset about business dealings that we do.  And quite frankly, unless we're willing to flatten the country, destroy their barbaric society, erase their quaint habits (like raping little boys for fun, stoning women to death, etc) then they're going to continue being a third-world shithole of the worst sort no matter how much blood or money we spend trying to change them.

Get out.  Get out now.  And if the terrorists come back, just bomb their houses into craters, and flatten their families into dust.  Stop wasting America's best on a country that doesn't deserve it.

I got nothing this morning

I do feel better than I did yesterday, so at least there's that.  I don't know what is going on with my gut, but yesterday was bad for that as well.  Today is much better, although as I was stumbling towards the commode after waking up I ripped out a good long fart that released so much gas I could feel myself deflating.  I'm pretty sure that's not normal.  On the plus side, I no longer have to use a scraper to get the paint off that section of the hallway.

I have been constantly amazed at how partisan the media in this country is, and I see it driving straight off a cliff as more and more information from the IG report comes available.  Every time you think it can't get any worse, it gets worse.  And of course people aren't being held to account for the crime that were committed, and the slander and lies that were spewed.  Does anyone actually think that the criminals at the FBI who forged documents will be held accountable?  Does anyone think that the people who ruined the lives of various Trump associates on trumped up charges will be held accountable?  Does anyone think that the multiple criminal acts will be punished?

Hell no, we don't think that will happen.  Which is why Civil War 2 is coming, because a government that protects criminals and punishes the law abiding makes a war inevitable.  When the law becomes tyranny, resistance becomes mandatory.

Anyways, it's off to another fun day at the salt mines.  BACK ON YOUR HEADS!

(Y'all have heard that joke, right?)

Ouch

I woke up this morning with a screaming headache, centered right at the base of my skull.  The Mrs. rubbed my back down with an analgesic, but even that didn't work.  I had to take pills to get the pain to go away.

I hate taking pills.  I really, really hate taking pills.  I eat gummy vitamins just so that I don't have to swallow any pills.  But today, I took some pills. 

The worst part is I don't even know why this happened.  This "age" thing isn't turning out quite like I was promised.  I have random pains that just crop up.  I'm losing my hair, but I still can't grow a beard (Thanks Dad, for that little genetic quirk!)  And now headaches out of nowhere that are damn near incapacitating.

What the hell?

Alexandria Bigtits McDonkeyChompers is the gift that keeps on giving

Kinda like herpes.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has stepped in it again, this time on Twitter, by posting a whining complaint about all the healthcare options she has, or something, and slamming Obamacare by accident. "Members of Congress also have to buy their plans off the exchange. They are Gold plans that are partially subsidized. That means I get to "choose" btwn 66 complex financial products. This is absurd. No person should go without healthcare, & no one should go through this, either."

Bigtits McDonkeyChompers has always been a couple cards short of a full deck, but ever since her handler had to leave after getting his caught with his hand in the cookie jar, she's devolved into almost a parody of Marxist rhetoric combined with ignorance and arrogance.  She's making six figures and whining about having to pick from sixty-six different Gold health care plans.

She's so out of touch with this country that I really don't think she'll ever be able to get in touch.  She doesn't even speak the same language, metaphorically speaking.  She's clueless. 

Washington Swamp Dwellers crying is good for America.

The Swamp Dwellers at the Bureau of Land Management won't be able to rub shoulders with lobbyists any more.  Bo-freaking-hoo.

Opponents of the Trump administration’s plan to break up the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the country’s public lands bureau are warning of a brain drain, saying many staffers who are being reassigned are opting to quit rather than move out West.
U.S. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt defended the move Friday.  

Opponents have projected that the number of Bureau of Land Management staffers agreeing to move from headquarters could be as low as 15%, which Bernhardt said was “not consistent with what I’ve seen.”

I just took an informal poll of every Active Duty servicemember I've ever served with, and they all told me that they don't give a shit what some sniveling little swamp-dwelling bitch thinks about moving.  They could lose every employee they have in the move, and I'd say the entire bureau would still be greatly improved.

You do not need the entire department of any US government agency consolidated in D.C.  In this day and age, I don't even need to be at my unit in order to do my job - I should know, as I've worked from home, from vacation, from other TDY trips, etc.  I can do my job from anywhere.  I'd prefer to do my job from the middle of an isolated mountain with an enclosed and heated cigar smoking area, but the Army hasn't seen fit to provide me with that yet. 

Still, the point remains that the only reason to keep all these people in Washington D.C. is to make sure they can rub elbows with all the right rich and politically connected people who they really answer to, instead of answering to we the People.  We Normal Americans, who are quite honestly sick of their bullshit.  I hope none of them make the move.  I hope it's a clean sweep and we get all new people from the heartland of America moving in to those jobs.  Let the Swamp Dwellers stay in the swamp and stab each other in the back for the reduced numbers of gummint jobs that remain.

Third Sunday of Advent

Not all Advent music is cheerful.  This is a season of preparation, after all.

National Socialist Democrat Worker's Party wants to use National Guard to enforce gun laws

Oh.  Yeah.  That'll work out real well for you, Skippy.

And it’s not like those red parts of Virginia haven’t seen this coming: According to the Washington Examiner, over 75 counties have declared themselves “Second Amendment sanctuaries,” meaning law enforcement there won’t enforce state laws deemed to violate the Second Amendment. 

Well, that puts everyone at quite a loggerheads, doesn’t it? This is something that could be handled delicately by the state government in Richmond; it could try to figure out how to enforce laws that aren’t universally popular in a state where there’s clearly a wide gulf when it comes to people’s opinions on guns. 

Or, you know, they could have state officials threaten to bring out the National Guard; that too. 

In statements to the Examiner that might have come out better if they had any filter between their brain and mouth, two state Democrats basically said, “Look at us: we’re the captains now.”

The first thing these fascists need to realize is that trying to use the Virginia National Guard to enforce their unconsitutional gun-grab is like trying to use deer hunters to enforce illegal anti-hunting laws.

Just who the hell do they think owns guns in Virginia?  Where the hell do those people live?  Do they really think that they'll be able to whistle up a bunch of goose-stepping thugs from the hinterlands of Prince George County to march down I-95 and enforce their will?  "Oh, look!  Richmond is a big city!  They've got National Guard centers all over, I bet they'll be FULL of people who want to do our bidding!"  Except for the fact that the people who fill those National Guard centers in Richmond on drill weekend don't all come from Richmond, they come from the counties and rural areas around Richmond.  And while Richmond might be Proggie central for Virginia, it's surrounded by counties where you couldn't find a Hillary Clinton sign in 2016.  You really think Jim from Powhatan is going to go door to door on the Governor's gun-grabbing plan?  You think he's going to go arrest the sheriff of Powhatan, when he voted for the guy?

Things are going to get real interesting here in the next few years as the Democrats continue to lose their minds.

Some things never change

Everywhere I've lived, there are drivers who you just learn to avoid.  You see them coming, you turn.  You make sure you have the right of way, because you know for certain these self-absorbed, narcissistic assholes don't give a shit about anything but themselves and whatever their phones are saying right at that moment.

In Seattle, it was BMW and Volvo drivers. 

In Los Angeles, it was white Mercedes (especially with a Mediterranean-looking woman behind the wheel), and, of course, BMW drivers.

In Richmond, it was any red vehicle being driven by a black woman (the larger the woman, the worse the driver).  And BMW drivers.

In Mississippi it was pretty much everybody, but the worst drivers were the ones driving late-model sedans with 22-inch rims.  And BMW drivers.

Now that I'm in Salt Lake City?  It's a whole slew of people, but the ones who stand out for their jaw-dropping moments of fuckwittery are Subaru drivers and BMW drivers.

Notice a trend?

What's the difference between a BMW and a porcupine?  With a porcupine, the prick is on the outside.

This post may or may not have anything to do with my current commute.  And yes, the moment I see you driving a BMW, I know you're a fucktard.

I wish I could vote for this man

Doug Collins of Georgia just dropped a grenade on Nadler the Hutt.

"Bush-league"

"They care more about getting on TV in the morning than doing their job tonight."

Dayum.

Of course, we all know that this Impeachment sham is a giant load of shit.  We all know it.  They know it.  It's pre-determined.  But they can't even keep their masks on while they do it.

By the way, the optics of Nadler the Hutt sitting next to Doug Collins on TV?  Collins looks fit and rested.  Nadler the Hutt looks like Eddie Munster was eaten by Slimer from Ghostbusters and morphed into a blob that sits on Congressional Committees. 

Every day is another reason to not trust the government.

Forget jail.  People need to be tarred and feathered, instead of still working for the FBI after they willfully forged a document in an attempt to send an innocent man to jail.

So that's a big problem. If Carter Page is a CIA/NIS asset, then they can't use his contact with Russians as evidence for a FISA warrant against him. 

So what's the DOJ/FBI response? 

Well, a lawyer there -- Kevin Clinesmith -- deliberately changes the response of the organization from "Carter Page is a source" to "Carter Page is not a source," and sends this forged, fraudulent evidence along to the court as part of the FISA application. 

This is CRIMINAL. They were specifically told by the agency involved that Page was a source and therefore had a very good and legal reason to have contact with Russians, but this guy forged the email, altering it to say he was not a source and so reported to the court that Page had no good reason to talk to Russians. 

And here's the kicker: 

He still works for the FBI! 

Because of course he does. 

Because Christopher "Straight-Shooter" Wray.

So a guy who broke the law in an attempt to block the election of someone he didn't like is still working for the Federal Government.

You want to know how a whole lot of middle-class folks fighting to keep their jobs in this country feel about that?  Well, how's about the phrase "President Donald Trump"?  Trump got elected precisely because there are too many corrupt, anti-American assholes like this Kevin Clinesmith who shit all over this country and still get a paycheck from tax dollars.  We elected Trump to kick shitstains like Kevin Clinesmith out the door.  And that's why he'll get re-elected in 2020.  Because the anti-American shitstains are still there, still destroying this country, and being protected by Deep State Swamp Dwellers like IG Horowitz.  The fact that Horowitz can sit there and make the claim that only errors and mis-statements were made is a pathetic joke in and of itself, when every single one of us with a real job knows that if we had made those errors and mis-statements we'd be in jail.  Not maybe in jail  Jail-jail.  Breaking big rocks into little rocks for the rest of our lives, while shitty little ass-nuggets like Kevin Clinesmith sip wine in Washington D.C. and laugh about how they blatantly lied to a FISA court and are still enjoying the good life.

Only someone completely ignorant of life would call those errors or mis-statements instead of the blatant violations of the law that anyone with half a brain can see.  Since IG Horowitz is presumably not ignorant about life, I have to presume that he's just as corrupt as that shitty little fuckstain Kevin Clinesmith, who needs to spend the rest of his life getting ass-raped in a jail cell by Bubba until he can shit a bowling ball without even grunting.

Time Magazine gives WokeScold Greta the Swedish Aspie the "Person of the Year" award. Hong Kong protesters not available for comment.

Fuck you, Time Magazine. 

Seriously, you give a Marxist midget an award for skipping school and yelling at people far more intelligent than her?  While skipping over people who are literally being shot for standing up for freedom?

What, you couldn't stand the sight of US flags?

Piss off, you dipshits.

Stop making our troops sitting ducks

For the love of God, allow us to protect ourselves.

How is it that the Saudi terrorist attacker at the Pensacola Naval Air Station was shot dead by local Pensacola sheriff’s deputies, while not a single sailor – officer or enlisted – had any firearm to defend himself? Well, much as President Trump promised to shut down visas from countries like Saudi Arabia, he also promised to end the gun-free zone status for our soldiers on bases. The time has come for him to fulfill both promises.

One key lesson for a leader to learn is this:  You never give an order that you know will not be followed.  This is part of why allowing women in the military was such a bad idea.  You put men and women together in stressful situations, and then say "Now don't have sex, you young, fit, highly trained young adults!"

You think that order will be followed?  When I was a single troop back in the 90's, I got more action from the military than I ever got from civilians.  I have stories that even a pr0n producer would read and say "Nah, can't happen."  I know what happens when you mix men and women in the barracks, folks.

The current order that boggles the mind?  "Don't carry any kind of firearm to protect yourself, even if you're a concealed carry permit holder and can protect yourself anywhere outside a military base."

I'm pals with one of the people tasked with securing my tiny little post.  His new CG came in and wanted to do a weapons check on everyone coming on to the base.  "I want to see if anyone has weapons!" was his cry.  My pal looked him in the eye and said "If you do this, 50% of the people won't show up for work, and you will find weapons on just about everybody else."

The brass has given an order that will not be followed.  Period.  It boggles the mind that the military headshed thinks that people who are highly trained on firearms will just shrug their shoulders and say "Oh, gosh, I can't carry a gun now!  Oh well!"

Part of why the Ragin' Mrs. and I refuse to live on a military post is that we would have to register every single firearm we have.  We looked at that regulation, and we simply said "Nope.  Not happening."

If I have to be in public, I'm carrying.  That's why I have the carry permit.  It's that simple.  "Oh, but Dave, nothing is going to happen!  Why are you so paranoid?"  For the same reason I keep a fire extinguisher in my kitchen - because if you need it and you don't have it, your world burns down.  As our military brothers and sisters are finding out on a regular basis.

The FBI spied on Americans, Obama knew it, and the government did nothing

Corrupt from top to bottom.

It wasn't just the FBI investigation he knew about - it was also the 'unmaskings' that followed from the FBI bid to pin something on Trump - the timelines show that around the time of that Coomey briefing, the "unmaskings" of Americans caught up in intelligence dragnets, looking to see if any of them were Trump officials, were stepped up, ending only when Obama administration officials packed up and left the White House. 

It's apparently a whole slew of things he did to spy on and undercut his rivals. Had he used that formidable energy on America's actual enemies, he might not have been such a failure as president. For now, Obama stands exposed.

The anti-American pieces of shit who did this are still mostly employed, except for the few who have retired and taken a nice fat pension for the acts of destroying what used to be a government that actually respected it's citizens.

There is not one part of the government that can be trusted.  Not.  A.  Single.  One.

In so concluding, Inspector General Michael Horowitz rejected the charge that those “mistakes,” including silence about the known falsehood of the supporting evidence and the omission of exculpatory evidence, had been intentional, and hence a fraud on the court. Horowitz stated that looking at these officials’ intentions—i.e., noticing the variance between their claim and the facts behind it—was not his job.

Given that such scrutiny is quintessentially the inspector general’s job, his retreat into what we must now call the Comey-Clinton crouch—detail the misdeeds, relabel them, and decline to do anything about them—means that the deep state has closed ranks.

This government is a group of stupid thugs who have been handed power and will punish anyone who tries to take that power away.

Democrats hate you

And that is really what their impeachment push is all about.

No, impeachment isn’t about impeaching Donald Trump…it is about impeaching the American voter. It’s a punishment. The Democrats and the ideological Left have been angry at the rest of the country for three years now, and it is their intention to make us pay for daring to buck their rules.

I've said it before - Donald Trump was the impolite, yet still civil, response to a government that is governing without the consent of the governed.  The Tea Party was the first civil and polite response.  When the Tea Party was abused away by both parties, the Tea Party members didn't just go home and accept the corrupt oligarchy's rule.  They acted when they had that chance, and that chance was Donald Trump.  This time it worked.

And the corrupt oligarchy, the bi-factional ruling party, has never forgiven the voters for what they did.

No, it is the American people whom the Democrats wish to punish. They are impeaching our decisions and our passions. They are telling us that our votes are mistakes that need to be corrected. The better alternative to this whole charade is to let the American people decide if Trump is worthy of another term in less than 12 months. To carry on with this impeachment circus is to send a direct message – we don’t trust you to do it right.

To quote Kurt Schlichter - Democrats hate you and want you to die.  Why do you think they're so desperate to take away your guns?  Because they plan on doing things that will get them shot if you still retain the means to defend yourself.

They've already corrupted the federal law enforcement agencies into nothing but armed goons with badges doing the Democrat Party's bidding.  Now imagine what they would do if we Normal Americans didn't possess firearms.

Rural Virginia is getting set to tell the Democrats to pound sand on gun control

The Virginia GOP may have beclowned themselves, but the folks in rural Virginia haven't.

The American St. Nicholas

The Victory Girls have a blog post up about the modern origin of St. Nick in Germany.

In 1944, the 28th Infantry Division, 112th Regiment of the Pennsylvania National Guard had taken casualties and were exhausted from the Battle of Huertgen Forest on the Western Front in Germany. The GIs were sent to Wiltz, Luxembourg for rest and recuperation. There the story of the American Saint Nicholas played out.

Go read it all.  What caught my eye is the unit.  My Great-Uncle, whom I just recently learned about this year, was assigned to the 28th Infantry Division, 112th Infantry Regiment.  He died a little less than two months prior to the unit being sent to Luxembourg.

They were suffering the privations of war, missing the comforts of home, and in foreign countries. Their loneliness and fear had to be overwhelming. Yet, the GI’s of the 112th Regiment, PNG gave what they had to let children have a Christmas for the first time in years. 

The story of the GIs and the American Saint Nicholas is a story that every one of us should know and treasure.

This is what American troops do.  This is who we truly are.

Isn't it amazing how much you can learn if you're actually looking?

For instance, this interview with the former Prosecutor General of Ukraine.



Hat tip to Instapundit, of course.  But it shouldn't come as a shock that ABCNBCCNNCBSMSNBCNYT et al haven't bothered to actually investigate this, as they consider it their duty to protect the Democrat Party and their Lord, God, King and Messiah Obama.

Second Sunday of Advent

I told you to be on the watch for Advent music...

Pearl Harbor Day

I get to thinking that if Pearl Harbor happened today, the Democrats would be screaming about how it was all our fault, and we have to understand the Japanese.

Out the door at Oh Dark 30 today

Talk to ya later.

Kinda tying in with "What have they gotten right?"

Trump isn't the problem.  The highly credentialed throne-sniffers who infest our government are the problem.

Very important people with very important advanced degrees from very important universities must be involved at every step. Coaxing American allies to stop welching on their debt requires many white papers and think tank conferences and pricey parties at well-appointed embassies.

Before the president speaks with another head of state, polite talking points must be drafted and edited and redrafted and approved by dozens of people with lengthy titles who occupy offices situated along the Potomac River decorated with many impressive diplomas and commendations.

All of that at the cost of MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of dollars, by the way.  These oh-so-dedicated public "servants" aren't serving for FREE, of course.

And therein lies part of the problem.  There's a pattern here - get a degree, use your connections to secure a fat paycheck at Foggy Bottom, and then go around like you're the real President of the United States.  The State Department has been a seething next of Marxist vipers for as long as I can remember.  Quite frankly, I'm not crying a single tear if the all get shitcanned.  Again, what have they ever gotten right?  What success can they highlight in order to justify their six figure salaries at our expense?

Not a one.

The media is not your friend, and they don't care about freedom

Not one single media outlet has issued any kind of report on Adam Schiff's spying on a journalist.

When Obama was wiretapping reporters, and throwing reporters in jail for refusing to give up their sources, there was perhaps a slight downtick in the worshipping of Obama by the Main Stream Media.  Perhaps they pulled their lips back from his crotch to murmur a slight disapproving tone, before immediately going back to fellating him over and over and over.

The media doesn't care one bit about freedoms, be they 1st Amendment or any other.  The media in America is a wholly owned subsidiary of the DNC, and as such their primary focus is not to actually report the news but to prevent actual news from leaking out before it can hurt Democrats.  Their secondary function is to propagate any accusations that could benefit the Democrats, no matter how wild and untrue.  Such as the Steele Dossier. 

You get more accurate reporting on US politics from overseas newspapers than you could ever find in the New York Slimes or the Washington Compost.  A pox on them all.

Sham-peachment hearings, day # Oh who cares...

Well, if the Democrats were hoping to get a boost in their eternal quest for impeachment, I doubt they got it.  Unless there's a substantial portion of the country who enjoys being hectored and shouted at by a angry moonbat hag college professor.

And Trump should be paying CNN and PMSNBC to keep Jerry Nadler the Hutt's face on TV 24/7.  Nadler the Hutt has all the charisma of an intestinal parasite.  The more his face is on TV, the more his voice drones on and on, the more President Trump wins.  Bigly!

Pete Buttplug promised a woman that if he becomes president, all illegal aliens will get free health care.  Crap like this is why the Second Civil War is going to happen.  Because we have politicians who think it's OK to ignore the rule of law, ignore our borders, bring millions of illegal aliens across to vote Democrat, and then use money taken from law abiding citizens to pay for it all.  And the law abiding citizens have had enough of that bullshit.

I'm busier than a one-armed paper hanger so please enjoy the blogroll to the right!

Have our "experts" ever been right on anything?

As the article says, Iran is in flames and the "experts" can't figure out why due to their Trump hatred.

The Iranian regime faces the most serious popular challenge to its tyranny in 40 years. Sparked by a 50 percent hike in fuel prices last month, the uprising has spread to the whole country. Security forces have killed hundreds of protesters, and at one point they were even forced to shut down the Internet — a sign that the ayatollahs feared for the survival of their regime. 

So it’s worth asking: Did our ­experts see this coming? 

Nope: Most were too busy blasting President Trump. The prestige press and Twitterati spent the last few years railing against the president for trashing the nuclear deal and ratcheting up sanctions — actions that had supposedly sent the Iranian people rallying around the flag.

Read it all.  Also, see how many people use the exact phrase "rally-round-the-flag effect".  It's almost like their quoting each other, and the quote comes straight from the DNC talking points.

Back to the original question.  Have the "experts" of my generation ever been right?  Where's the defining Win for these experts?  The didn't see the fall of the Berlin Wall.  They didn't see the fall of the USSR, and in fact, the "experts" were proclaiming that the USSR would live forever, and we just have to live with that fact, and Ronny Ray-Gun was an idiot for calling them evil and telling them to tear down that wall.

Are these the same experts who, in 2010, said the Arctic would be ice free in ten years?  Oopsie.

Are these the same experts who told us that snowfalls were a thing of the past, only to see record level of snow and ice in the USA?  Oopsie.

Are these the same experts who got us involved in backing competing jihadist groups in Syria, at the same time?  Oopsie.

Are these the same experts who assured us that Trump tweeting at Kim the Fatter would immedeatly start a war?  Oopsie.

Are these the same experts who said that the stock market would never recover from Trump's election?  Oopsie.

Are these the same experts who cried about Trump slightly delaying aid to Ukraine but didn't say a single peep as Obama let Putin annex the Crimea?  Hmmmmm....

What have they been right about in my lifetime?  Name one thing.  Just one.

And I'm still wondering why

Why people in the far left lane of traffic come to a screeching halt while every other lane is flowing semi-smooth.

Maybe it's a reflection of the lane's politics?  I dunno.

Kamala Harris dropped out of the presidential race.  Say what you want about Harris, but there was no Democrat better at sleeping their way to the top.  But I guess once you've burned through all the people who can elevate you in San FranSicko, and you're trying to convince a country of people to elect you and it's physically impossible to service them all, either with your lips or on your back, then you begin to realize that actually doing something productive is harder than getting Willie Brown to blow his load.  Kamala Harris combined the oldest profession with the second oldest profession, but if she weren't from a shit-filled city occupied by mental lunatics, she's have never even sniffed the US Senate seat she currently is leaving snail trails on.

Is that harsh?  Not as harsh as she deserves. 

Ghosts of Mississippi

So while I was stationed in Mississippi I had a squirrel decide that they liked to nest in my engine compartment.  Happened quick, too.  One day the car drove just fine, the next day that little furry tree rat had chewed up all my wires.

Also liked to sit on the engine and eat acorns, that stew-meat on legs.

So I had cleaned out my engine compartment before I sent the car to the shop to get fixed.  Yesterday, I go to replace my air filter.  Guess what was littering the inside of the air filter box?

Yep.  Acorn shells.  Just one more little "fuck you" from the wildlife of Mississippi.  Luckily, as it was an air filter compartment, none of the shells got sucked into the engine.  I took a vacuum to the whole area, cleaned everything out, and put the new filter in.  Wix makes air filters as well as oil filters, as I found out.  Works really well.

I've been watching the sheer stupidity of the Left over the sham-peachment hearings, and now that pointy-headed lump of shit Nadler the Hutt is going to be on TV.  Honestly, I think if I were in Trump's shoes, I'd keep Shiff-for-Brains and Nadler the Hutt on TV 24/7.  They're both grotesque parodies of what a human should be, which means they're perfect examples of Democrats for Trump to expose to the American TV viewership.  Throw in a video of Nadler the Hutt talking while he's inhaling a meal, and people will be too busy vomiting to want to impeach anyone.

Anyways, I'm back home and trying to get into the swing of things.  It's now Advent.  Prepare for music accordingly.

Slow posting day

Guess why...

Britain and the Netherlands both have jihadists go loco

And the guy in Britain was tagged as a terrorist in 2012.  Still walking around free.

I bet if he had tweeted something mean about women or poofters, he'd be in jail right now instead of stabbing people on London Bridge.

Did ya have a good Thanksgiving?

I did.  Surrounded by friends and family, eating lots of excellent food, followed by a mellow evening, topped off with cigars and a delightful Japanese whiskey.

The Mrs. is out doing some shopping right now.  I'd rather cut off my left foot than go shopping on Black Friday.



Tomorrow, we might go shopping for some specific things, but right now?  Nah.  I got a good run in this morning, and I still haven't showered yet.  Maybe it will happen by noon.

See ya later!

A good summation of how far the FBI has fallen

Do not trust the FBI.  It cannot be trusted in this day and age.

Go read, and then discuss amongst yourselves.  I'm busy smoking a cigar and drinking coffee.

Thanksgiving

To whom?  To God.



Never forget who this holiday is actually about.

By the President of the United States of America. a Proclamation.

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor—and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.”

Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be—That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks—for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation—for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war—for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed—for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted—for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

and also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions—to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually—to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed—to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord—To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us—and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand at the City of New-York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789.

Go: Washington

Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas

Chick-fil-A was bankrolling the SPLC.

Chick-fil-A, once under fire for donating to "anti-LGBT" Christian organizations, has now taken flack for funding seemingly pro-LGBT charities. In a truly shocking development, the fast-food chain even funded the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which is notorious for slandering conservative and Christian organizations by calling them "hate groups" on par with the Ku Klux Klan. While conservative Christians have been defending Chick-fil-A from criticism, the fast-food chain donated to one of their worst enemies.

Chick-fil-A has been converged, folks.  That just sucks.

Jorge Bergolio, the anti-Pope, opens his cock-holster once again

And blathers out yet even more stupidity.

Pope Francis trotted out a scene from the 11th-century French epic poem La Chanson de Roland this week to prove Christians have tried to convert Muslims by the sword, just as Muslims have done to Christians. 

“A scene from The Song of Roland comes to me as a symbol, when the Christians defeat the Muslims and line them up in front of the baptismal font, with one holding a sword,” the pope told an Argentinian interreligious dialogue group Monday. 

“And the Muslims had to choose between baptism or the sword. That is what we Christians did,” he declared.

This extremely stupid man used a work of fiction to besmirch Christians.  However, Bergolio appears to have not even read said piece of fiction, because....

“The memory of Pope Francis evoking the victory of the Franks over Muslims is therefore confused, because the expedition was not a victory,” Ganimara observes. 

“The fictitious case of the forced baptism of Muslims supposedly defeated after the capture of Zaragoza — which did not take place — is not historical, but is a pure imagination of the poet,” he adds, noting that contrary to the pope’s account, there is not even a Christian holding a sword in the original work. 

“How then can he affirm that ‘this is what we Christians did’?” he concludes.

Jorge Bergolio, the anti-Pope, is destroying the Church from within.  While I don't have the ability to look inside a man's heart, I can look at their actions, and every action Bergolio takes is an evil one designed to destroy the church.  He protected and elevated sexual predators.  He embraces Islam.  He badmouths Christianity and faithful Catholics at every opportunity.  He brought idolatry into the Vatican (the Pachamama idols, which were worshipped at the Amazon Synod).  So this is just another attack from the anti-Pope.

Jorge Bergolio is not the pope.  Benedict XVI is the true pope, and Jorge Bergolio was installed through error and outright evil.  Pray for Pope Benedict.

Oh holy crap

Ilhan "Bro-Fo" Omar is a Qatari "asset".

Bender was subpoenaed in a lawsuit against the Qatari emir’s brother, Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad al-Thani, who stands accused of ordering his American bodyguard to murder two people and holding his hired American paramedic prisoner. In his deposition, Bender testifies about his meetings with Al-Masnad and other Qatari officials in which they mentioned the Sheikh Khalid case, and discusses Qatar’s campaign to influence Western politicians. 

In the testimony, Bender claims to have been asked to recruit American politicians and journalists to be Qatari assets. He says he objected and the Qatari officials responded by saying that several American politicians and journalists were already on the payroll—most prominently Omar, who was allegedly described as the “jewel of the crown”, according to the deposition.

Omar is not American, and she will never be American, because she is incapable of understanding what America is.  To her, America is one big welfare check for here and the rest of her criminal family.  Therefore, she has no loyalty to America, because how can you be loyal to a welfare check?

Bender’s accusations go much further. According to his testimony, Al-Masnad said that Qatar “recruited Ilhan Omar from even way before she thought about becoming a government official.… They groomed her and arranged the foundation, the grounds, for her to get into politics way before she even showed interest. They convinced her.” For her part, Omar cooperated with the Qataris and received cash payments, he alleges in the deposition. 

American and Turkish media previously reported that Omar met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a key supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, when she was a junior state representative in Minnesota in 2017. According to Bender, Omar met Erdogan and allegedly swore allegiance to him. 

Bender claims that once Omar took office, she used her position in the House of Representatives to access sensitive information which she relayed to Qatar, and through them to Iran.

Sadly, we know that Ilhan Omar will never face one question about her crimes from the DNC Media Complex, and she won't see a lick of jail time for her treason, because treason and Democrats go hand in hand, and they protect each other.  Just look at Hillary Clinton.

SecNav sacked

Well I'll be darned, disobeying a direct order from the Commander in Chief is still a fireable offense!

The Navy then attempted to remove Gallagher's SEAL Trident pin as punishment, but the president objected and restored Gallagher's rank. When the Navy continued to pursue disciplinary action, despite Trump's objection, Spencer was asked to step down by the Pentagon.

I don't know if it was stupidity, ego, or arrogance that caused Spencer and other people to continue attempting to punish a warfighter that President Trump had taken a personal interest in protecting, but it cost one person his job, and it should cost others their jobs as well.


Kurt Schlichter agrees.

The commander-in-chief made clear his intent. Then, when he found out the Navy was defying him, he expressed his intent again, and they still drove on with their defiance. And then the press flacks for the Navy issued their passive aggressive statement and pretended that his expression of intent did not constitute a clear and unequivocal order. 

Fire them all.

Yep.  Read the whole thing to get some context on his take, but there's lots of folks who need to be fired.

John Solomon calls out the sniveling shit-smear known as Alexander Vindman

Have I mentioned how embarrassed I am that Alexander Vindman is in uniform?

So I want to exercise my right to debate Lt. Col. Vindman about the testimony he gave about me. You see, under oath to Congress, he asserted all the factual elements in my columns at The Hill about Ukraine were false, except maybe my grammar

Oh, and as the supposed "expert" on Ukraine, Vindman claims he wasn't aware of Joe Biden demanding that a prosecutor be fired or no billions would be sent.  Yeah.  So the guy who's supposed to be on top of things with regards to Ukraine couldn't be bothered to actually know something that Joe Biden bragged about publicly.

This fucking maggot has been stealing from the government every time he cashes his paycheck.  What a fucking oxygen thief.

There's not one single positive thing I can say about Alexander Vindman right now.  I hope he gets cashiered out for telling multiple lies under oath.

Busy day today

So sorry if there's no real posting, but when I have to leave the house way before sun-up, you gets what you gets.



Make sure you play this on good speakers.

Dammit, Chick-fil-A, you were supposed to be different

And now we see that you're just another Leftist-dominated organization who shits all over the very people who made you a success.

I think I'll just have to draft a letter and send it off, expressing to the CFO of the company that until the Marxist anal wart Rodney D. Bullard is fired, and they re-fund the Salvation Army, that I will regrettably avoid their restaurant.

The brave media, being so brave

Hong Kong newspaper was firebombed by people hostile to freedom in Hong Kong, but our media doesn't want to upset their Chinese masters so they don't talk about it.

Hey, speaking of intimidation of the press -- the Epoch Times' printing press in Hong Kong was fire bombed three days ago, and until today, there were absolutely no major media stories about it. 

Only people like Ian Miles Chong and Sharyl Attkisson covered it. The media embargoed the story -- the same media that preens about the how imperiled journalists are.

Do you think that in the past week of the US media furiously masturbating about the totally-gonna-happen impeachment of Orange Man Bad, they might have mentioned the fact that there are people dying in Hong Kong for daring to want the kind of freedom we have here in America?

Nah.  Doesn't help the narrative. 

The media in this country are some of the most garbage people you can possibly imagine, and if they were all laid off I would dance a happy dance for weeks.

Pantifa bitch gets xir clock cleaned

Watching that happen makes me so very very happy.

The Covington Catholic Kids get another crack at the DNC and their Media Puppets

Good.  Sue them into oblivion.  Oddly enough, it was the same Leftist judge who shut down the original lawsuits that allowed these new ones.  I think someone met the judge in their chambers at some point and pointed out that if they wanted to even pretend to give a shit about the Constitution they claim to uphold, they might want to think again about protecting Democrat party operatives at and sacrificing the law to do so.

I bet discovery is gonna be lit!

And I hope the Covington Catholic kids all get filthy stinking rich off of this. 

Eco-Freaks try to destroy yet another forest

Lawsuits, lawsuits, lawsuits.

BOISE, Idaho — The U.S. Forest Service is ignoring a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling by restarting a giant forest project in Idaho, say environmental groups that have filed another lawsuit seeking to stop the project a second time.

First of all, let's take a look at that paragraph of journalistic malpractice, shall we?  What's the first thing people see?  That the US Forest Service is ignoring a court ruling.  Are they actually doing that?  No, that's just what a group of Proggie Eco-Freaks says, but if they were actually ignoring a court ruling there would be no second lawsuit.  If they were ignoring a court ruling, there would be punitive action taken.  Since there is no punitive action taken, the US Forest Service is following whatever terms the court laid down previously.

So we have lies from the Proggie Eco-Freaks and misleading statements by the press.  Who are probably also Proggie Eoc-Freaks.

The project has a combination of commercial logging, prescribed burning and recreation improvements such as additional trail maintenance and installing bathrooms. Also planned are habitat improvements for federally protected bull trout and northern Idaho ground squirrel. 

But the environmental groups say the project comes at the expense of wildlife habitat and turns the public forest into a tree farm to benefit timber interests.

"Timber interests".  That would be logging, the sort of thing that allows all the Proggie Eco-Freaks to move up to Boise and Salt Lake City and Coeur d'Alene and have illegal aliens build their houses while sneering at the locals for not being enlightened Proggie Eco-Freaks.

In short the Proggie Eco-Freaks want the forests to stand there and die, until a lighting strike causes catastrophic wildfires that sterilize the soil and make sure nothing grows there for decades.  Due to a lack of forest management, the western forests are already dealing with a pine beetle outbreak that's killing trees for miles, and the Douglas Fir are dealing with a virus that spreads through root contact.  And when trees are packed in because the forests haven't been managed, there's lots of root contact.  If the crowns of the trees are touching, the roots are touching, so Douglas Firs have been dying off all over the West.  The Nez Perce National Forest is full of dead trees.  The Sawtooth National Forest is full of dead trees.  Every National Forest in the west is full of dead trees, because Proggie Eco-Freaks like the Alliance for the Wild Rockies block any effort to manage the forests, and yes that includes logging them.

But the Alliance for the Wild Rockies doesn't give a shit about any of that, because the people running the Alliance for the Wild Rockies don't have to deal with that.  They don't live in the middle of it.  They don't have family members laid off because the timber industry is getting shut down.  They just jet in, spend some time in an expensive cabin that someone else maintains, and then jet out, full of smug, moral superiority about how much better they are than those lesser people like loggers and ranchers and farmers.

Fucking bastards should be forced to live in the damn forests that they claim to care about.

Of COURSE the FBI was breaking the law!

The Steele dossier was fake.  Anyone who spent five minutes looking into it would know that it was fake, but the FBI still used it to spy on American citizens.  Americans who were part of a presidential campaign, and who were the opposition to the Obama administration's preferred candidate, to be clear.

But I won't believe that the Horowitz report is "going to be released" until I actually see it released.  And even then I have no hope that the criminals behind the FISA abuse will ever see any jail time, because in this country if you're a politically connected Democrat you don't do jail time.  Just ask Hillary Clinton about her private email server that contained Above Top Secret documents.  If I had done that, I'd be in Ft. Leavenworth breaking big rocks into little rocks for the rest of my life.  She's still wandering around, swilling chardonnay by the bottle and doing her part to destroy America.

In the meantime, the FBI's reputation is going down faster than Kamala Harris on a "political opportunity", if you know what I mean.

Rear Admiral Collin Green needs to be relieved of Command

When your command has tried to fuck someone so badly that the President himself stepped in and said "No", and then you continue to try to fuck that troop, you need to be fired.

Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher might be forced out of the Navy's elite SEAL unit, despite being acquitted in July on nearly all charges and a recent pardon from President Trump on the one minor charge that did stick. 

The New York Times reports that SEAL commander Rear Adm. Collin Green "now has the authorization he needs from the Navy" to remove Gallagher's Trident pin -- the symbol of his SEAL status -- and "effectively end" his career. Gallagher reportedly had already planned to retire from the Navy, even after being found Not Guilty on the most serious charges against him. But as NYT's Dave Phillips noted, "in a warrior culture that prizes honor and prestige, the rebuke would still cast [him] out of a tight-knit brotherhood."

This punishment isn't punitive, it's petty.  The dude is going to retire.  He's done, and he's quite honestly lost all faith in the leadership that was screwing him over. So he was leaving.  But that wasn't good enough for the dick pimple named Rear Admiral Collin Green.  Nope, Admiral Green wants to try to bend CPO Gallagher over one last time and fuck him really, really hard, simply because he wants to do so.

Folks, shit like this will kill moral faster than you can say "Obama's Rules of Engagement".  Punishing someone who screwed up is one thing, but I think we can all say that CPO Gallagher has been punished enough.  Hell, the process he went through, where the prosecutorial misconduct drew a rebuke from President Trump in the form of rescinded awards, was punishment enough.  But now the head of the SEALS is trying to continue the screwing process for no benefit and no reason other than sheer spite?

Nobody wants a boss like that.

No military member willingly places themselves under that person's command.

Rear Admiral Green must be fired immediately.

UPDATE:  I'm very glad to see that President Trump is telling Rear Admiral Green to STFU and stop being stupid.

I'm sure I speak for just about all my unit when I say that LTC Alexander Vindman is a pathetic gob of crap

Let's just start with a statement he made previously, that he reported on the Ukraine phone call because he was afraid that President Trump would "subvert US foreign policy".  Anybody wanna guess who sets US foreign policy?  The president.  What Vindman is upset about is that Trump is subverting Obama's foreign policy, and it's my guess that Vindman spent so much time under desks sucking off Obama cronies for a cushy position that he was afraid he'd lose everything he sucked so hard to get.

But his performance yesterday at the Schiff Show was instantly recognizable to anyone who's spent a little time in the Armed Forces.  I'm amazed that this guy's ego could even fit into the room with him.  Go listen to him talk, watch his face, and you will know exactly what I'm talking about.  He's the hellish combination of arrogance, ignorance, entitlement, stupidity, and anti-Americanism wrapped into one overweight package and shoved into a uniform.

We already know that Vindman was such a shitty staff officer that an Obama flunky had to prevent him from getting fired from the National Security Council.  Maybe it was one of the guys Vindman was bending over for to get the job in the first place, who knows.

So officials tried to remove Vindman due to security concerns (guessing a whole lot of leaking), but an Obama holdover blocked their efforts. Oh, and she happens to be closely tied to the Obama family. 

No conflict of interest there or anything, right?

I have said in the past that we might never recover from the damage that Obama did to this country, and I think I'll clarify that statement.  Remove the word "might".  We will never recover from the damage done to this country by Obama and his cronies.  When the Civil War 2 kicks off, it will be because of the long-term damage done by the Obama administration.

And Alexander Vindman is part of the problem.  He's an ass-kissing, back-stabbing shitweasel with a complete lack of integrity.  I crap out more integrity in the morning than Alexander Vindman has ever possessed in his entire life.  He's a shitstain.  He's an embarrassment to the United States Infantry, the United States Army, and the country as a whole.  I am ashamed to share a uniform.

I think I stole this from A Nod To The Gods

But I can't remember.  Because I'm old.  So if I stole it from you, let me know.

And feel free to print that out and post it all over sanctuary cities.

It's Ammo Day

Just in case you're not familiar with Ammo Day, it's also Kim du Toit's birthday, and he decided that it should be a day when all his readers buy at least 100 rounds of their favorite centerfire ammunition.

So, yeah.  Go buy ammo.  I know, I know, it's a horrible imposition for most of you, but I'm certain you'll make it through.

The impeachment Schiff Show confirmed reports about the Democrats in Ukraine

Oft evil will evil mar.

In the end, it doesn’t really matter whether what transpired was a formal list like Lutsenko claimed or a pressure campaign on specific cases like Kent testified. The issue of public interest is that the situation was dysfunctional: Ukraine prosecutors felt bullied by the embassy, and US officials were unhappy with cases against certain figures. 

So the next time you hear my stories were debunked, faulty or wrong (without anyone citing specific facts that were wrong), keep this in mind: Adam Schiff’s witnesses corroborated what I reported.

If you want to know just what the Democrats did in Ukraine under Barry O'Bumblefuck and his Merry Marxists, just look at what they are accusing Trump of doing.  SJWs always Project.

I'm not sorry

So it was warm enough to ride the motorcycle to work today.  On the way home, the car ahead of me was trying to change lanes to the right, only to have some jackass constantly block his way.  He finally gets around the asshole, and I pull up next to him, look over, and see....

A fucking dipshit on his cellphone.  Texting, if you can believe that.

So we get to a red light.  I wait, I look over, and dipshit is still texting.  So I pull forward just enough so my tailpipes are just ahead of his driver's side window, which is open, and as the light turns green and we start to move....

I rev my engine.

Did I mention that I have an 1800cc bike?  And did I mention that I have a set of Cobra straight pipes?  I'm pretty sure I hit at least 120db, right next to his open window.  People across the intersection stopped and looked to see what the hell was going on. 

I saw that bastard jump.

I'm not sorry.  Not one damn bit.

But just keep voting for the Democrats, you Jewish folks out there!

That'll work out sooooooo well for you, won't it?

Mainstream Democrats rolled over for the far left so quickly on Israel that it’s hard to imagine them returning to a sane place. Jews, who vote for Democrats in overwhelming numbers, need to finally wake up to the reality that their party despises the world’s sole Jewish state.

When the Left starts shoving American Jews into cattle cars, I'll do what I can to stop them because that's what good men try to do.  But I doubt I'll be able to do very much, because you can't really stop someone from destroying themselves, and Jews in America have been voting for the anti-Semitic party for decades now.  They have been embracing the people who hate them, and attacking the people who actually care about them.  So in reality, my role is most likely to shoot the bastards who shoved a generation of Jews into the ovens, because there will be fuck-all I can do to stop it from happening.

A counter to the argument that Christians have to just give money to the homeless unconditionally

From the 2nd Epistle of St. Paul to the Thessalonians.  Emphasis is mine.

[6] And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us. [7] For yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we were not disorderly among you; [8] Neither did we eat any man's bread for nothing, but in labour and in toil we worked night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you. [9] Not as if we had not power: but that we might give ourselves a pattern unto you, to imitate us. [10] For also when we were with you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat. 

[11] For we have heard there are some among you who walk disorderly, working not at all, but curiously meddling. [12] Now we charge them that are such, and beseech them by the Lord Jesus Christ, that, working with silence, they would eat their own bread. [13] But you, brethren, be not weary in well doing. [14] And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed: [15] Yet do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

You must help the needy and the downtrodden, but if people simply refuse to work, preferring to spend their time getting high and laying about, giving them more money doesn't help them.  Giving them free stuff doesn't help them.  Hard Love is what they need.  Unfortunately, modern society has forgotten that fact.  Witness the homeless crisis in liberal cities.

These people don't want housing, they want drugs.  And I refuse to give my money to people so that they can get high, as it serves no real purpose other than their self-desecration.

The narcissistic anal polyp known as Colon Kaepernick strikes again!

Any team stupid enough to hire this locker-room cancer deserves whatever it would get.  But thanks to Kaepernick's stupidity and arrogance, it's likely that nobody is going to hire him.  Good.  Of course, that won't stop the sports media from continuously masturbating over the possibility, but at least he won't be in the news that much.

And I'm back

And I love my wife, I really really do.

My wife comes from a family that won't use a single nail when a dozen nails will do.  Because it might come loose.  And there was room, right there, don't you see it?

So we've had a few rodent problems.  The previous tenants weren't exactly the greatest, there were a few issues we cleaned up, and it's an older house.  It's getting colder, and the furry little bastards were coming inside. 

So my wife looks up ways to keep mice out, and sees that mothballs will tend to drive them out because they don't like the smell.

So my dear, loving wife buys a big ass bag of moth balls, finds a couple spots under the kitchen cabinets that the mice have used, and shoves them in there.

All of them, from what I can tell.

My house smells like a public urinal right now.  I'm going to drill through the baseboards tomorrow and vacuum all those mothballs out.

*tap*tap*tap* Is this thing on?

Sorry 'bout the hiatus, folks.  I got immersed in my job for just a little bit.  Your normal programming will resume shortly.

The Anal Polyp known as Colin Kaepernick is back in the news. %$#@!

Apparently this turd blossom is putting on a work-out.  And predictably, every sports "reporter" has purchased a 55 gallon drum of Astroglide for the amount of masturbating they are going to do over the next week.

I'm in a hotel room right now.  Flipping through channels, there were five different ESPN channels all orgasming over Colin Kaepernick.

Fox Sports?  Not as orgasmic, but still lots of joy-juice on set.

If every sports "reporter" got fired today, I would be popping champagne tonight. 

I knew this. You knew this. Anyone with half a brain knew this.

Legal vaping did not cause all the problems that hysterical idiots want to associate with vaping.

Look, e-cigs have been a thing since about what...  2011?  Maybe earlier?  So if vaping and e-cigs were suddenly causing lung damage, we would have seen it in 2012.  But it's 2019.  And I'm willing to bet that the kids who have been showing up with lung damage weren't vaping back in 2011. 

Nope.  This isn't about vaping, really.  It's about black-market THC cartridges, and the vitamin E oil used make them.

I'm willing to bet, right here and now, that not one single legitimate vape or e-cig manufacturer can be linked to the lung damage that people are freaking about today.

So far, investigators have determined that most cases appear to be associated with the use of vaping products containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Many of the injured also reported using counterfeit or black-market products containing THC, notably those marketed as "Dank Vapes."

"Most cases".  Try "All cases".  Again, not one single legitimate vape or e-cig manufacturer has had any link to the lung injuries being reported.  And I don't even vape, folks.  I don't use e-cigs.  But I'm a little sick of seeing brainless idiots howling about how vaping is evil when it's not.  Not one single Juul user is keeling over.

But kids getting high on black market crap are doing so.  Go figure.
