Light posting for a while

There's some personal stuff going on, so I'll post when I can, but I may be incommunicado some days.

That's why I have a blogroll.

How to shoot a handgun in 10 minutes.

Twelve, actually.  But who's really counting?

Good stuff.  I'd pass that vid on to anyone getting into handgun shooting.

Freedom

I have attained a certain status in my employment where the worst than can happen to me, provided that I don't violate any actual laws, is that I could be forced to retire.

Needless to say, I've eased up on the brain-mouth filter quite a bit.  Some people find it charming.  Some people find it quite disturbing. 

I don't care.

Leftist psychos hand out guns on videos, anti-gun Leftist curiously silent

HA!  We know why they're silent.  Because they only want to disarm the people who can and will protect this country.  Violent psychos taking over parts of major American cities can do whatever they want so long as they hold to the Leftist line of America bad.

So you’ll not be surprised by my interest in the armed goings-on inside the newly-formed autonomous/not-so-autonomous zone known as “CHAD” in the already-liberal dominated major metropolitan city of Seattle. 

Because what’s going on is precisely what the lefties who support this lunacy say they want eradicated: uncontrolled gun possession. 

Meet Raz of CHAZ, the apparently self-appointed warlord of BirkenstockStan, reportedly doling out AR-15s from the trunk of a Tesla. 

I’ll wait a moment while you finish guffawing at that visual.
Ready? Ok. To the video:

So apparently even the EEEEEEEEEEEVIL AR-15 is turned into a weapon of justice when they're passed out willy-nilly from the back of a car in Leftist controlled territory.  Huh.  Who woulda thunk it?

The Left wants to disarm their opponents because the Left is planning on doing things that would get them shot.  But the Left will keep guns in the hands of their favored subjects who will do their bidding.

The Panic Pandemic, and storing up sundry goods.

My wife and I tend to hoard things.  In an effort to not appear on various TV shows, our house nothing but pathways through the mess, we actively try to get rid of things, and we don't buy things we don't need.  An often asked question from either the Mrs. or myself when we're at the store is "Yes, but where will we keep it?"  If we don't have an answer, we don't buy it.  Must fight the hoarding tendencies. 

It doesn't help that ever since our house in Wisconsin we've had to purge for every move and every new house.  Each successive house has been smaller than the last, forcing us to toss away even more of our hobbies and crafts that are unnecessary in the grand scheme of things.  Clothing that we could afford to hold on to in the previous move now takes up space in this house, so out it goes.  It was old anyways.

One of the things that we've not had a huge amount of in any house is ammunition.  I would love to have Ye Oldde Storage Loquer, a la Kim du Toit, but I have to move it myself since moving companies won't touch it, and we never have much room to store ammo in any case.  We've kept a few thousand rounds of all types combined, but never any stockpiling.  I may have grumbled about not having enough ammo in the house, but every time I had to load all of it up into a vehicle and move it across the country, I grumbled a bit less. 

And then the Panic Pandemic hit.  Next thing you know, we couldn't even get toilet paper because people were freaking the hell out.  And we went to buy a couple boxes of ammo just to go to the range, and every shelf was bare.  Gone.  Nada.  There was one lonely box of Hornady Critical Defense, and that was it for 9mm.  Pretty much all practice ammo in every caliber was wiped clean. You could by a box of 50 specialty rounds for $30, and that was about it.

And the wife got that look on her face.  Anger and panic combined, with a healthy dose of "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!" mixed in.  Flashbacks from a few situations we'd been in years ago, where everybody around us was losing their damn minds and we were just trying to keep ourselves out of the stupidity.

So a couple weeks later, I'm doing my online thing, I check a few websites, and I see a box of 1000 rounds of 9mm for about $300.  I mention it to her.  "Hey babe, you still want me to look at buying ammo?  Here's this box."  She just looked at me and said "Buy it.  Buy it now."  So I did.

We get the ammo, we go to the range, much pew pew pew, and we go through about 450 rounds.  It was a good range session.  And as we're on the way home, she looks at me and says "That ammo?  If you see any other deals in that range, don't ask, just buy."

So we've got a case of 1000 rounds unopened, about 1000 rounds in various boxes, and another 1000 rounds on the way.  And I'm figuring that each month will be another 1000 rounds, although the wife made a statement last night that we'll be trying to buy 1k rounds every pay period so that amount may double.

At this rate I'm going to need to rent a separate U-Haul truck to move my ammo once I retire, but isn't my wife's peace of mind worth it?  I also might have to look into reinforcing the floor in the gun room.  If I start to hear the floor joists creak when I walk in, a few bricks and boards underneath should help.  I could also space the ammo out through the house.

Anyways, just a little bit of what's whirring around in my brain for ya today.  Plus, I'm getting more ammo.

Yeah. Sure. Go ahead and defund the police. That just makes it open season on Pantifa turds.

So shall we discuss what the Pantifa dipshits don't understand?  Well, OK, let's narrow that scope a little bit otherwise we'd be here all year.

I keep going back to the argument made by Francis Porretto, because the truth of it cannot be denied.  We made the conscious choice to trade violence for justice.  If for whatever reason justice is not be attained, be it through corruption, malfeasance or the absence of the lawmen, WE CAN GO RIGHT BACK TO VIOLENCE.

The police only have any authority because we the people have given it to them. We have made a trade: We give up violent retribution in exchange for justice. Instead of hunting down the person who steals my car and shooting them, I allow the police to arrest them and put them in jail. (may not be completely accurate in Seattle) I don't track down a murderer and take out his entire house, I allow the police to arrest him and put him in jail.

If the police departments all go away, I retain the right to use violence to deal with criminals and law-breakers. If there are no police to arrest the idiot breaking into my house, then I'm just going to shoot the criminal and dump his body in a shallow grave. Whaddya gonna do? Get the police to arrest me?  Do you really think that Thuggy-D and his crew are going to be able to assault through concentrated fire?  And if Thuggy D and his crew take out my neighbor's house and destroy it, then I track down Thuggy-D and snipe him off from a nice safe distance to ensure that he never does anything like that ever again.  The bottom line is that the potential for violence from people like me is huge.  We know what to do, and we know how to do it.  So what stops us from doing it?  Well, morals (if you have them) and the police.  It's not worth the risk of going to jail for life just to wipe out a pack of feral thugs that the police can arrest and throw in jail.  But if there are no cops?

The police don't protect people like me from criminals. The police protect the criminals from people like me. And I'm just a guy who wants to be left alone. Don't think that there aren't a whole bunch of folks out there meaner than me. Angrier than me. More violent and dangerous than me, all of whom are oiling up their guns and hoping that the Antifa maggots get exactly what they want, because then it's open season.

Happy Birthday to the Big Green Machine

245 years old, and still going strong!  Doesn't look a day over 300!  Hooah!  Also known as Flag Day for all you people who weren't blessed with the opportunity to experience the military from the vantage point of eating the mud you're crawling through.

Blogger isn't letting me post pictures.  Just imagine a big ass Army seal right here.

Going on a Flag Day ride today.  Maybe will post later.

This quote has been going around lately

I might as well post it here too:

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

George Orwell, 1984.  The Democrats have been using that book as an instruction manual for decades.

Apparently, at least one person is tired of the new, political Jim Mattis.

And he wrote a letter. 

Maybe, your problem, is a lot deeper. Perhaps you ought to explain how and why you (and John Allen), as CG Central Command, did not engage and take out Iranian Major General Soleimani who roamed the Middle East and wreaked havoc and death of our American boys with his infamous IEDs? 

Why did it take President Trump to have the instincts and balls to take him out (of course over the objection of the geniuses in the Pentagon)?

There's more.  All of it a slap in the face to a guy who used to command a lot of respect, but now seems to be kissing the feet of the Left. 

I got nothing today

Sorry.

I knew that Pantifa controlled Seattle

Much like they control Portland.  They pull the strings, and the politicians dance.  But now they've gone from being the power behind the throne to occupying the throne outright.

Just as the Islamic State (ISIS) claimed territory in Iraq and Syria, antifa militants have claimed territory in Seattle, Wash. According to reports on the ground from The Post Millennial’s Andy Ngo and Townhall’s Julio Rosas, protesters and antifa instigators have seized land in the Capitol Hill area around the Seattle Police East Precinct. Like ISIS, the rioters appear to have decided on setting up a government in their occupied territory, naming it “Free Capitol Hill.”

This is the same area that was represented by Baghdad Jim McDermott, just for a frame of reference.  Back when I lived in the Seattle area, Capitol Hill and First Hill were nicknamed "Pill Hill" for the prevalence of tweakers and various other drug users who populated the area.  This is the area who screamed and cried about cops arresting "peaceful" druggies in the parks.  They demanded that the cops stop arresting those poor addicts.  The cops did so, and then the people began screaming and yelling about the used needles in the parks, and why didn't the cops do anything about that?

If Capitol Hill were a person, it would be a crackhead with multiple personality disorder.

Pantifa owns it now.  Personally, I hope Pantifa keeps it.  Seattle deserves what is coming.  Build a wall around the city to keep any more Leftists from escaping it.

Peter Grant points out that Seattle has completely abandoned the rule of law.

In a properly administered state, the Governor and/or state authorities would have intervened long since to protect and uphold the rule of law, and ensure equality before the law for all citizens of the city.  That's unlikely to happen in Washington, where left-wing progressive politics dominate the state government.  The powers that be will adopt a snooty, high-toned, morally bankrupt perspective on the whole thing, and abdicate their responsibilities.

He has plenty of other thoughts which are worth reading. 

But sure, yeah, tell me about that fancy degree you have

Since I think I had a harder curriculum in HIGH SCHOOL.

In North Carolina, 26 percent of UNC system students earned a “D,” “F,” or “W” (a withdrawal) in mathematics and statistics courses between fall 2015 and spring 2018. 

But instead of investigating ways to improve math education, North Carolina university leaders have decided to create alternate “pathways” for students who are less math-minded. According to UNC administrators, gateway and entry-level math courses—like college algebra—are “stumbling blocks” for too many students.

1)  The fact that these college kids are failing ENTRY LEVEL COURSES is an indictment of the publik skool sistim that produced them.  But if you don't know my opinion on the publik skool sistim by now, let me sum it up for you in a few short sentences:  Burn the publik skool sistim and the Department of "Education" to the ground.  Bulldoze the ashes.  Salt the earth where it stood so that it will be barren for centuries, and leave it as a warning to everyone else who passes by.

2)  This is just more confirmation that the universities and colleges in this country are nothing more than indoctrination centers instead of places of higher learning.  Oh look, little Johnny can't find the value of x.  Let's just take that pesky old x out of there, shall we?  That mean old x should be bothering you!  Here's your safe space!  Don't forget to vote Democrat!

And if you can't find the value of x, which is a basic mathematical concept, then you probably can't understand the concept of economics, either macro or micro, which means that you can't even be taught why socialism is so bad for a country.  You can only be indoctrinated to regurgitate the answers that your Marxist professors want to hear.

When this country eventually falls into chaos and war, one of the main causes will be the indoctrination of generations of kids by the university system, who taught them to emote rather than to think, and who poisoned their minds and their souls rather than provided ways to uplift and expand.

I do not care who Pierre Delecto is voting for

And quite frankly, the Republicans who "won't vote for Trump" are a big part of the reason that Trump got elected in the first place.

This is not your grandmas Republican Party, or your grandpas, or your second cousin twice removed’s GOP. 

To say that the party has evolved under Donald Trump is stating the obvious. Those who have followed Trump have had no problems adapting to the new reality. 

But for many old-line, “rock-ribbed Republicans,” Donald Trump has proven to be a bridge too far.

If the "rock-ribbed Republicans" (HA!  BULLSHIT!) had actually done what they said they were going to do, if they had fought against the march of Marxism in the government and in society, if they hadn't flooded this country with millions of illegal immigrants to make their corporate buddies happy, if they had actually had some sort of principles other that whatever their social circle thought at the time, if they had actually STOOD FOR SOMETHING other than their bank accounts....

Donald J. Trump would still be a New Yorker hosting a TV show.

But instead of actual "rock-ribbed Republicans", what we GOP voters got was a never-ending parade of back-stabbing Quislings.

And that is why Donald J. Trump is now President Trump.

Archbishop Viganò wrote a letter to President Trump

You can read the entire thing over at Adrienne's Corner.  If you are unfamiliar with Archbishop Viganò, he's the priest who blew the lid off of the cabal of homosexual predator priests, including Cardinal McCarrick and Cardinal Wurl.  A good man.  A god-fearing man, who now fears for his life because he exposed the rot and corruption in the church.

In any case, go read.

"Go Bald for BLM" is a 4Chan prank?

That's.  Just.  Awesome.  I didn't even know there was a "Go Bald" movement until last night.  Now I find out that it's a prank, and stupid liberal cows are shaving their heads bald because the internet told them to do so.

I have no words right now.

D-Day

Might I suggest that you go read Historian's post over at Liberty's Torch.  It's well worth the time.

James O'Keefe is a national treasure

And Pantifa still needs to be shot in the head.

The first video dropped, in a series that will be released in O’Keefe’s usual slow-drip style, shows antifa organizers admitting that they go to events to cause damage and violence to Trump supporters. “It’s not boxing, it’s not kickboxing, it’s like destroying your enemy.” 

This would explain why we see images of antifa stomping and kicking the heads of people they’ve already knocked out. It’s never a fair fight and they never get held to account.

Any politician who supports Pantifa supports domestic terrorism.  But that explains why the Democrat Party loves Pantifa, because they both hate America.

Pretty much

Duncan Lemp

I'd never heard of his name until today.  And that's a problem.

Duncan Lemp is a name you’ve probably never heard. It’s never been on a picket sign or splashed all over 24/7 news channels. But Lemp was gunned down by police, unarmed, while he slept next to his pregnant girlfriend on March 12 of this year for the crime of owning a firearm. There were no riots or protests in his name. When his friends and family planned to protest the Montgomery County police in Maryland, they were threatened with a $5000 fine and a year in jail because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The shit-stirring, anti-American maggots in the media are pushing race wars just as hard as they can.  But as part of their campaign to hurt Trump and destroy America, they're making sure that they suppress as much information as possible.

Rush Limbaugh went to Charlemane tha God's podcast, and at one point told the dude that if George Floyd had been white, nobody would have heard about the incident and nobody would have cared other than the immediate family.  I would say that Duncan Lemp's case proves Limbaugh's point rather well.
