A terrorist attack, two people killed

and the terrorist tried for more, terrorist supporters demonstrating, and what's the big government concern?

Guy's question is "What are they protesting?"  Starmer & Co. are weak, they know it, and they want more.

On that fun day?

The truck is fixed, and it was expensive.  A main electronics module that lost its electronic mind.

But is running again as it's supposed to.

Terrorist attack on a synagogue in Britain

Can happen here, too.  If you carry, do it everywhere and when you legally can.

Ever see 'That 70's Show'?

Line where girl tells boyfriend "You can't hold me responsible for what comes out of my mouth!"
Apparently that goes for media asshats as well.
A Washington Post columnist who was fired after misquoting slain free speech activist Charlie Kirk and is now preparing to take legal action— screaming she’s a casualty of censorship and discrimination.

However, an investigation by The Post found Karen Attiah has a history of trying to blame others for her poor work.

yesterday was a fun day

It was supposed to start with picking up my mother for a trip to get some stuff, that was short-circuited by vehicle trouble.  So it's in the shop, they found the problem with an electronics module, and yes, it'll cost some.

Makes me somewhat glad I blew off Monday and instead of a near-perfect range day I got some actual necessary stuff done.  Because if I had to do that after getting the truck back today(Please, I hope so), this would be one real busy day.

Starting this with, if you've read the books, one step closer

to Hammer's Slammers weaponry.
...In 5 to 10 years, Rafael chairman Yuval Steinitz predicts, “nothing hostile will fly in the air—no aircraft, no drones, no cruise missiles, no shells, no bombs—because the laser will completely clear the air of anything detected, anything seen.”


Now this is enjoying your work



Current events

Borrowing from something I read a long time ago,

"You have to remember, you don't decide what provocation is, the- in this case elephant- does."

Those bastards who shot up the Little League game?
On Friday, DHS officials revealed that Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah was awarded naturalized American citizenship in August 2023 by the Biden administration, despite having a prior arrest for drug possession.

Mohammad Matalgah immigrated to the U.S. from Jordan.

Likewise, DHS officials said the Biden administration gave Ahmad Mawed, an immigrant from Lebanon, a chain migration green card in June 2021.
Makes you wonder how many more bastards like this they let in.

And now, things to take care of.

Nukem Swalwell is now making another threat,

this time "We will get you if you cooperate with Trump!"

I guess Fang Fang has cut him off and his temper is showing.

About the EffingBI and 'Do you want people to say "I won't do that" instead of following orders?

 question, yes.  And yes, I know that's a "Sir, I cannot in good conscience do this" that can get you transferred, possibly fired.  Or it would be "If my orders are to do this no matter what, I'll give you my resignation.

That's the same on the officers in charge of the pile of shit known as the retreat from Afghanistan; some of those high-rankers could have resigned their commission rather than carry out stupid/insane orders.  

No, they didn't.  They should have.

My, not exactly big news for some reason

Hours before President Donald Trump’s address to the United Nations General Assembly, the U.S. Secret Service announced that it had dismantled a massive, decentralized SIM farm network, just 35 miles from New York City, hidden inside five abandoned apartment buildings. The telecommunications stealth weapon was capable of paralyzing regional cell networks through denial-of-service attacks.
Especially this being in place to affect New York(effing)City, you'd think it would've been really Big News, but no.


There was another story the other day about a guy being chased by cops who crashed into an off-duty FBI guy's car, who turned out to have some interesting stuff in the car, on the 'We may have interrupted something big' type.  And I can't find it.

Throw in a shooting at the ocean, and that awful mess at a church the other day, you have to wonder if any connections.

The problem is that if Harris actually believed that,

she'd be kissing his ass.

It's a few down

Ok, why isn't this BIG news?

On Thursday, three men—Mahmood Abdelsalam Rababah, Ahmad Mawed, and Mustafa Mohammad Matalgah—were arrested after firing guns toward a youth baseball field in Houston, causing players and coaches to flee for cover, according to Fox News.

One coach was shot while shielding the boys; the bullet struck his shoulder, and he was taken to a hospital to recover. “He literally took the bullet for a child that was to his left, and so thankfully we avoided a major disaster,” said Andy Baize, the founder of the team.
And why are the charges 'deadly conduct with a firearm' instead of attempted murder?

A fine time for some clearing,

So,

Once again: Trust the EffingBI?

Why?
Few months ago:
...Just last December, the Department of Justice's own watchdog proudly announced there was "no evidence" of undercover FBI employees in the protest crowds. The Inspector General's report was crystal clear: no undercover agents at the Capitol on January 6. Period. End of story. ...

Now,
The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI's rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to "wokeness" and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years.
Oh, of COURSE there's lots of "We shouldn't have been doing this, but we had orders!"  Maybe some of the bastards actually mean it.

But not one of the bastards deserves any trust from us.

Modern schools: "We don't care if he may have saved lives,

he broke Our Rule, and that's all that counts!"

People who need to become acquainted with a flagrum.  Badly. need it.

The treason of the British Labour Party, and too many of the Tories,

laid out for observation.  They decided "The peasants are revolting, we should replace them" and started the project.

They really need to get rid of a whole bunch of politicians.  And their enablers.

'Higher' Education

A University of California, Riverside professor suggested on a recent podcast that a former pro-Palestinian student of his, a convicted arsonist, was a “genius” and praised protesters who disable U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicles.

Dylan Rodriguez also spoke about wanting to be a “terrorist” and praised a former Hunter College art instructor who was caught wrecking a pro-life student table and later chasing a journalist with a machete.
And he says he wants to be a terrorist.

Wonder how much this asshat is being paid?

"If you conservatives do something, the left might hit you back in the future!"

Yeah, like they already did.

Ever notice how many of their threats are "Don't make us do it to you again!" ?


A piece on the Socialist Rifle Association.  Which includes the "I have to do this because so many of you want me dead!"  Which is funny, because nobody would care about them if they weren't promising/threatening to blow up things and kill people.


Well, of course that's how they'll put it.

Knowing he was back on last night, I purposely searched out a leftie rag to see their take on it, and poof - right there on the front page of TheGuardian.com - is exactly what I was looking for.

Note how they couch shit. It was Trump who got him suspended. Disney was to blame for bowing to the hard right, etc., etc. No mention whatsoever of his reprehensible, jerkoff comments about Charlie Kirk and the public backlash he received. In the end he - and the leftie media - will always blame Trump. Of course they would, because they wouldn't know a real jerkoff like this guy if he spat in their faces. Juss' sayin'...

The fundraiser for BRM really helped.  Well done, people.

And yeah, antifa is threatening more people.  No surprise.  You'd think being declared a terrorist group might make them want to tone it down for a while, but it may just make them feel more free to do their thing.

You may have heard that when Pres. Trump got to the UN, the moment he and the wife stepped on the escalator it 'stopped working'.  And when he started to speak the teleprompter 'stopped working'.  Which turned out to be really dumb, because he just started speaking his mind, and I'd bet the UN hated every word.
That meant instead of delivering a 15-minute politely written speech, they liberated Trump to give a nearly hourlong toasting and roasting of the United Nations. There is no better extemporaneous speaker. 

 Thus, Trump gets 55 minutes of speaking, everyone else gets 15. 

 His speech was as golden as his hair. 

Nick Sortor tweeted: One of the most LEGENDARY lines from President Trump’s speech at the UN. “I ended 7 wars without help from the UN, which never even called. What is the purpose of the UN? They just write empty letters. Empty words do not resolve wars. These are the two things I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter. Thank you very much.”

Oh yes, there was a lot more.

Something I'm happy to pass along:

A very nice video on a M41b Swede sniper rifle.  Damn, they made good rifles.

My, isn't London a wonderful place? Where the police will tell you

"You're obviously a Jew, so leave or you'll be arrested for breaching the peace."


Over here we have people like Mr. Todd panicking because antifa has been declared a terrorist organization.  Because "I don't even know what antifa is!"

Sir, you're either a damned liar or a damned fool, and quite possibly both.  The organization itself knows this has blown up in their face, and you don't know what they are?


And gee, I wonder why  more 'news' isn't talking about this?

And this is dumb.  Humans are still prey to lions and leopards and such, acting like we can't be both predator and prey is, well, dumb.

Ok, the 'you should exercise more' thing is getting confusing.

Having artificial knees, and bicycles being much more easy on them than walking or running, riding it is; except that it's been bothering my knees and feet some.  

So today, just to try it, used different shoes than the old yard shoes.  And, so far today, the feet are better.  Why the HELL the shoes would make such a difference on feet when you're just pushing pedals, I have no idea.  Knees I can see some upset just at the exercise, but feet?

My back's been acting up a bit as well, which could be the changing weather, or just my effed-up back deciding to act up some new ways, or- maybe- something about the other exercises might be annoying it.

"Take care of yourself, exercise more!" my ass.

Sometimes the future is NOT stupid

 A Girl Scout who fell into a canyon during a hike in a remote, mountainous part of Southern California earlier this year was rescued within hours after suffering a potentially dangerous concussion thanks to a direct-to-cell satellite service that enables users to get in touch with 911 using a regular smartphone in the absence of terrestrial cell phone coverage.

I admit I'm half-amazed the memorial for Charlie Kirk was not disturbed Added

by idiot leftists trying to kill a bunch of people.

Probably a combination of lots of good security work, and the left realizing just what the consequences would be if they did it.  Which, considering a lot of the idiots involved, is amazing.

I mean, seriously, this is someone at CBS?  This is what they put up as a public face?  

Whatever the reason, I'm glad.

Added: I have to repeat, some of these people are truly insane.

And now, it being both a weekend and me being behind

on posting, some clearing is needed

                                                        And speaking of sleeping soundly,

And now, on to

Know those times you start to point out a slight problem with what someone said,

and find yourself thinking "Why bother?"  Someone used to know, who I'd thought pretty level-headed, but damn.  She has Trump Derangement Syndrome badly, and now she's part of the "Trump got Jimmy Kimmel fired!" brigade.

That he was losing audience and money for the past while from what I've read, and then went out and said some stupid things that really pissed off lost of customers?  No, couldn't possibly be that, nooo...

There was some news earlier today, Pres. Trump is declaring antifa a terrorist group.  Actually gets done, it's going to be a nightmare for them, because that means intelligence as well as law enforcement going after them and the people who give them money, with no friendly/scared mayors and city council clowns providing them assistance.  I'm sure the Usual Suspects will insist they're just peaceful protesters- "Just ignore them blinding people with lasers and trying to commit mass murder by arson and all that other stuff, that's just free speech, after all"- but they've hurt a LOT of people, and done a LOT of damage, and a lot of people are going to be real happy that this is done.  Which will probably make at least some of the bastards a bit desperate, so if you're in an area where they operate, you might want to be extra careful the next while.

Speaking of asshats, ran across this: Remember when, not long ago, a CBS idiot made a statement about Hitler and the National Socialists weaponized free speech against the Jews?  Which most anyone with a brain and any knowledge of history was shocked at.  This is a piece by Mark Steyn on this stupidity, which includes

Me eight years ago:

It is a testament to the wholesale moronization of our culture that there are gazillions of apparently sane people willing to take out six figures of debt they'll be paying off for decades for the privilege of being 'taught' by the likes of Professor Bray. The reason 'we don't look back at the Weimar Republic today and celebrate them for allowing Nazis to have their free-speech rights' is because they didn't.

The Weimar Republic was so hostile to freedom of expression you'd think the Chancellor was Mark Zuckerberg or that pre-Musk Twitter weirdbeard.
With details following.

I now need to make sure all the bits and pieces are put away for the night, and get some things ready for tomorrow.

A new-to-me PC is installed,

and on some points Windows 11 is a PITA.  For instance, unless you know to change some settings, anything you save, or copy over, can get 'saved' to Onedisk.  Screw that noise.  Some other things are different, enough that it's a pain to find what you're looking for until you get used to it.  I swear, they look for things they can make difficult.

Yes, the Aztec really were a bloody-handed bunch,

and no, the Spanish didn't make this stuff  up to excuse the conquest.

Between personal stuff, and the idiocy of the leftists

insisting 'Everything is on both sides!' I just haven't felt much like writing. So, instead,
