Yes, it's still busy,
So, Trump not only won,
Harris finally conceded today.
I haven't heard, has she yet called for everyone to come together with the guy she called a nazi, a fascist, and just like Hitler?
It'll be interesting to see what the leftists come out with next. To say the least.
Borrowing,

A short break from the stuff going on, so
Remember the asshole who murdered three girls and stabbed a bunch more? Lots of people thought it might be a terror attack, etc., and Two-Tier & Co. used that as excuse to throw a bunch of people in prison for BadThink?
Guess what.
Roman concrete, it appears the secret has indeed been found.
OR and WA governors have activated the National Guard, because, apparently, they no longer want to support/tolerate a bunch of rioting communists.
But what about when taxpayer-funded agencies sit on information, and seek to discredit it, just because it’s potentially harmful to a preferred candidate? Well, then that information becomes disinformation right up until it’s convenient for it to stop being so.
And this wasn’t a case of anyone getting it wrong.
No, with the Hunter Biden laptop story, they knew it was legit. They just didn’t want you to know that.
And that's it for now

Then she goes to a church and says voting for her is 'helping God do his work.'
Someone must've told her that her first comment really pissed a lot of people off.

Still busy, a bit of catchup before the day starts
What? They hid studies so as to make the Greens happy?
Who's surprised?
Because it's the NYeffingTimes, and they love them some terrorists.
My, various Feebs seem to have trouble with letting things out they shouldn't.
The Atlantic recycles bullshit. and Jeffrey Goldberg is an asshole.
Connecticut: "It's not about crime, it's about restricting what guns you can own."
Friend loaned me this book, like the pusher he is. It's pretty good.
Yes, this bastard should resign. Won't, but should.
And that's all I've got time for. Except to say that Trump making fries and working the drive-through was marvelous trolling, and it worked.

After a quick look over the news, this I had to say something about
Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy told the New York Times that she believes the study would be “weaponized” by critics of transgender care for kids, and that the research could one day be used in court to argue “we shouldn’t use blockers.”
Critics — including one of Olson-Kennedy’s fellow researchers on the study — said the decision flies in the face of research standards and deprives the public of “really important” science in a field where Americans remain firmly divided.
Example #I forgot of "Why don't you trust the experts?" Because a bunch of the lie, exclude data, and sometimes throw a study out if it doesn't show what they want.
When asked by the Times why the results have not been made public after nine years, she said, “I do not want our work to be weaponized,” adding, “It has to be exactly on point, clear and concise. And that takes time.”
She then flat-out admitted she was afraid the lack of mental health improvements borne out by the study could one day be used in court to argue “we shouldn’t use blockers.”
...
When pressed by the outlet for an explanation for the seemingly contradictory findings, Olson-Kennedy attributed it to “data averages,” and said she was “still analyzing the full data set.”
Translation: "I've hidden this as long as possible, now I have to excuse what I did."
Lying clown.
Which led to J.K. Rowling Pouncing!
Remember, we're not talking about adults, we're talking about KIDS they're experimenting on. Which makes this even more inexcusable.
Personal note: Still getting things done, will get back to regular yelling here at some point, but it may be a while.

I had to make time for this one
Let's see...

Probably the only post for a few days(with one exception), so
Israel whacked a big-name terrorist the other day. Look at his bodyguard's ID:
Need to go ahead and declare the UN a terrorist organization.
A MILITARY whistleblower has released a series of documents revealing 601 deaths of service personnel and a high rate of serious adverse events in clinical trials involving remdesivir, an antiviral commonly administered to Covid-19 patients.
And which, you may recall, a lot of doctors/hospitals were forcing on people who had Wuhan.
If this is indeed correct, a bunch of people belong in prison.
If you haven't seen the video of the tower catching the Starship booster, holy crap!
A very disgusting thing:
Approximately a quarter of the soldiers were just miles from Gaza in off-base housing near the IDF’s Tze’elim base when the attack began. A group of local Israelis – IDF reservists, police officers, and ordinary citizens – got them to the base, which Hamas terrorists were quickly heading toward. With his men in mortal danger, the U.S. team leader requested permission to open the arms locker so they could retrieve their firearms but was denied at the US Central Command level and “denied and/or ignored” at a level above that, according to a military intelligence analyst with knowledge of the mission and exfiltration.
Looks like lots of our troops are fine, but the upper leadership...
The sex slavery problem has gotten a lot worse, thanks to Biden/Harris & Co.
And that's almost all I've got time for
Monday, October 14, 2024
Had a bit of time to look around the other day, and a few things I'll throw out
And how do they frame this clown getting her ass handed to her?
FEMA is run by idiots, Part the Whatever
A serious opinion on how lots of the .gov has forgotten a very important thing about disaster work
Mexican media all in for Harris
And, as a palate cleanser, things that work: they caught the booster stage
Damn. Sometimes the future is really not stupid.
More when have the time, see you when I can

Personal matters have arisen, so little to no bloggage for a bit
Saturday, October 05, 2024
For those new to this site, on occasion I do post Adult Content- excuse me, 'sensitive content'
The Adult Content posts do not contain uglies bumping, just pretty girls both in and out of clothing. If that upsets you, too bad.
Now, it's been a long day, and I've got more interesting things to do than worry about whoever. See you folks later.
For a time, at least, I'm going to put up a 'adult content' warning on this site
Y'know, it must be a sad life that thinks screwing with someone's blog is an accomplishment.
I'm trying something on comments
Friday, October 04, 2024
Due to a combination of "Crap, the water's off!" and time
There was an article the other day about the longshoreman strike,
Possibilities:
An actual agreement.
"Holy crap, me telling people 'I will ruin you!' really pissed them off, let's shut this down until things settle down."
Connection to the above: "Holy crap, people are so pissed they're telling the dock owners to start automating NOW, we need to calm this down!"
Which do you think?
"Censorship, it's what we need!"
I think we need a harm reduction philosophy of covering Trump and his party and the election. And these are some things to consider: One is to cut his or Vance’s mic when they start lying.
So not only is censorship the go-to remedy, but it's one-sided — openly one-sided.
And I know this is a hugely controversial idea, and it’s usually controversial because it will enable them to scream censorship, but there needs to be a philosophy of journalism that is oriented toward the public good.
That is, Gessen has thought through the censorship problem and determined that "harm reduction" or "the public good" supervenes the free flow of ideas to the people and allowing us to choose what we like. Gesson seems to object even to the speech that is objecting to the suppression of speech — to the "them" who "scream censorship."
When I talk to my students about it...Gessen teaches journalism at the City University of New York.
"Why don't you trust the Professional Journalists?"
Because they're being taught to only give one side. And that's just the start.

Oh, NOW we know where Mayor Pete is and what he's doing:
NEW - Federal Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has shut down aid flights into Western North Carolina. A NOTAM has been issued by the FAA that won’t allow anyone not approved by the state to fly aid missions. They said they would give permission but they’re not being cooperative at all. At least six m pilots from Virginia are being prevented from getting their aid shipments into Asheville Regional Airport.
Compare to de Santis in Florida:
#BREAKING: DeSantis says Florida National Guard is being deployed to ports impacted by ongoing strike to maintain order and, if possible, resume operations "Florida is open - we want to use our resources to get this stuff to the market."
I wonder what the rules of engagement are if anybody tries to interfere?
It's hard to believe that all of this is simply because of incompetence and
What got me fired up about this was yesterday, me and my team did the rescue of that 11-day-year-old baby and all these government officials and social media, they're showing that video, that pictures and video of that rescue and claiming that they have some government help with that. Even USA Today wrote an article about it saying it was a Florida National Guard that went and got it with a helicopter. No, it was me, my buddy Charlie, and a civilian named Zeb with his own personal helicopter out of Wilmington, North Carolina.
Without that civilian, that baby would be dead. And the old lady we went and rescued after that, she'd be dead too because she had one day left of oxygen. No one was going to go get them.
...
Nobody wants to coordinate with anybody. Everybody wants to pretend like they're being the hero while these people are literally f*cking dying in the mountains. And these people, I'm saying these people are limited medication.
They're running out of oxygen and there's no one going to get them. The most effective way I have found to go find these people is by getting in a helicopter and flying down the rivers and roads and looking for SOS messages or people waving us down. And then we dropped down and get them.
...
I think we did four refuelings yesterday and that was like just in half a day's work. We're in Asheville. And I saw two air force helicopter sixties and I knew there were PJs just looking at them.
And I went up to him like, Hey guys, like what are y'all doing? And like, this is what you need to be doing. This, this, this, this is how I'm finding people. And they're like, we can't go.
We're waiting on title 10 orders. And I'm like, what? They just, they can't get any afforded. There's military helicopters all over here sitting on the ground and they can't do nothing.
Even my JSOC boys in Fayetteville, they can't get orders to come out here. It is just the most disgusting thing. And they're killing these people.
And I don't know why they're doing it. I don't know what kind of conspiracy I've heard so many things, whatever you want to come up with, but they are literally allowing these people to f*cking die in the mountains right now because we can't get helicopters. They got money for everything else in the f*cking world right now.
I'm hoping that, by the time I write this, some of the bullshit has been straightened out, but I have doubts. Veep Harris, for instance, promised '$750 for those in need, if they apply for it.'
Fucking hell.
Apply HOW? No phones, no internet, often no food, water or medicine, so how the HELL are they going to apply?
What're you going to do, Harris, stop paying for more illegals to come in long enough to 'save' that much money, probably not giving a damn if these people live long enough to apply?
I have no words for how pissed I am right now.
There are a bunch of people who need to be dangling by the short & curlies
“I told him my background experience, law enforcement, firefighting, and pilot and he immediately started helping with coordination. He gave me radio frequencies to coordinate with them on, set up a landing area for me to come back with the other victim, and just basically started the rescue efforts; the policies and procedures that you would take coordinating with someone from an outside source or outside agency. And in the middle of the whole conversation and them blocking the road off, I was greeted by the – at that time I didn’t know – but the Lake Lure fire chief, or assistant chief, maybe. And he shut down the whole operation.”
...
“If that’s what you want us to do, we’ll leave no issue. And I explained to him that I left my son on the side of the mountain, and I left another victim. I was going to go back and bring them, it was already set up for the landing spot and then I would get out of his area. He told me I wasn’t going to go back up the mountain to get them, I was going to leave them there.”
...
Seidhom said he asked the official for a specific reason he was ordering him to stop his rescue efforts. “You’re interfering with my operation,” is the reason Seidhom said the fire official gave.
Yes, the asshole has been identified.
This is ONE of the incidents involving officials telling volunteers to go away, or to do nothing 'until we approve it', and so on.
Now add in this:
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted on Wednesday that "FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.” One reason for that is that under Biden-Harris, FEMA spent $650 million this fiscal year providing services and housing to illegal aliens. And $364 million the year before that.
There's a lot more in that post about just how effing disgusting the FEMA response has been in the past as well.
Now throw in this:

Well, either that or the Almighty is telling you
Karami, however, sees it as a possibility. He states, “Considering the Zionists’ history of subjugating genies, they carry out many of their missions through this means, and demons are their secret army.” Hassan Nasrallah is by no means the first victim of these Zionist jinn: “They [the Jews] have had access to genies and cosmic science since the time of David and Solomon. Historically, they have always used genies, their documents and traditions proved that. They have used genies and demons for warfare and intelligence operations throughout history.”
Note: I don't think this is the genie he's speaking of

That Walz fellow does seem to be a bit of a dick
...
That anecdote has since been repeated, without scrutiny, by the New York Times, CBS News, and National Public Radio, among others. In reality, local news reports show that Walz was at home in Nebraska in May and June of 1989, as protests convulsed China and the government’s response turned the world’s attention to its gross human rights violations. He wouldn’t depart for China until August.
He lies an awful lot, doesn't he?
And now,
“The Committee has recently received whistleblower disclosures informing the Committee of serious concern among Department of Homeland personnel regarding a longstanding connection between the CCP and Minnesota Governor Timothy James Walz,” wrote Chairman James Comer. “Specifically, through whistleblower disclosures, the Committee has learned of a non-classified, Microsoft Teams group chat among DHS employees—titled ‘NST NFT Bi-Weekly Sync’—that contains information about Governor Walz that is relevant to the Committee’s investigation. The Committee has also learned that further relevant information regarding Governor Walz has been memorialized in both classified and unclassified documents in the control of DHS.”

First question: Has anybody seen or heard from Mayor Pete, (updated)
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, despite being the senior infrastructure guy in the Cabinet, is once more nowhere to be found. His public schedule has not been updated since mid-August. Instead of focusing on assisting Helene victims, he is reportedly helping Tim Walz with debate prep for the upcoming vice presidential debate on Tuesday evening. Instead of assisting with disaster relief, “Mayor Pete” is in Minnesota with Tim Walz.
The rest of the cabinet has been MIA; now that there's serious noise about it, they're probably scrambling to try and look like they're worth a crap and doing something.
Second: You actually think he's running the .gov?
REPORTER: "Any comment on the strikes in Yemen, Mr. President!?" BIDEN (or whatever's left of him): "I've spoken to both sides. They gotta settle the strike. I'm supporting the collective bargaining effort. I think they'll settle the strike."
Also from the Compassionate and Caring Dear Leader:
REPORTER: Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?
BIDEN: No. We pre planned a significant amount of it, even though they didn’t ask for it yet. Hadn’t asked for yet.
"Do you have any words to the victims of the hurricane?"
BIDEN: "We've given everything that we have."
"Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?"
BIDEN: "No."
As someone said, give it a few days and Biden and Harris will probably both be there to make sure there are pictures of them Caring, purely because they can't be seen as Not Caring Enough. And they'll probably get hugely in the way in the process(no, I'm not feeling generous toward them).
And last: have the leftists started crowing "Oh, now that there's a problem you want the Feds to save you?" yet?
Who at the NYeffingTimes writes this crap?
They keep saying '- you don't hate the media enough', and they're right.

Y'know, it seems like someone could've ordered this before,
Of course, that would've required some balls, integrity, and not worrying about upsetting the terrorist vote in a couple of states.
That 'anonymous' has struck again,
Such a wonderful sort.
Apparently someone bitched about the Saturday night 'experiment' post
Saturday, September 28, 2024
And, as I have remembered what day of the week this is,
Another mix this evening, starting with a pub owner who told a climate asshat
Which sounds like a fine idea.
England’s Chief Medical Officer testified before the (token and pointless) Covid Inquiry earlier today, claiming he feared the government “overdid it” when talking up the dangers of Covid. No kidding,
From a man who grew up in Venezuela, he thinks the gangs in Chicago are probably not prepared for the level of violence and cruelty they'll face if it does come to open fighting between them and Tren de Aragua and others.
And, in the latest from (formerly Great)Britain: Report a rape, go to jail.
There's more, but I'm out of time, so will try to get some of them tomorrow.

Some things before I go outside to take care of a couple of things
Yes, Biden is still a screaming asshole lying hoplophobe.
Being vaccinated against Covid sharply increased the risk heart attack patients would die or suffer heart failure after heart attacks, a major new peer-reviewed study in leading journal Vaccine shows. Alex Berenson has written about the study on his Substack, Unreported Truths.
Speaking of the NIH, more on how Fauci helps screw the world.
Oh, holy shit...
The owners of NoHo Diagnostic Center are suing the LAPD, the city of Los Angeles and multiple police officers, alleging they violated the business owners’ constitutional rights and demanding an unspecified amount in damages. Officers allegedly raided the diagnostic center, located in the Van Nuys neighborhood of Los Angeles, thinking it was a front for an illegal cannabis cultivation facility, pointing to higher-than-usual energy use and the “distinct odor” of cannabis plants, according to the lawsuit.
Officers raided the facility on Oct. 18, 2023, and detained the lone female employee while they searched the business, the lawsuit said. However, they didn’t find a single cannabis plant and only saw a typical medical facility with rooms used for conducting x-rays, ultrasounds, CT scans and MRIs, the owners said.
...
At one point, an officer walked into an MRI room, past a sign warning that metal was prohibited inside, with his rifle “dangling… in his right hand, with an unsecured strap,” the lawsuit said. The MRI machine’s magnetic force then allegedly sucked his rifle across the room, pinning it against the machine. MRI machines are tube-shaped scanners that use incredibly strong magnetic fields to create images of the brain, bones, joints and other internal organs.
An officer then allegedly pulled a sealed emergency release button that shut the MRI machine down, deactivating it, evaporating thousands of liters of helium gas and damaging the machine in the process. The officer then grabbed his rifle and left the room, leaving behind a magazine filled with bullets on the office floor, according to the lawsuit.
I am informed that, besides any damage done by the rifle impacting the machine, dumping the helium that way can cause very expensive and permanent damage. I'd hope at least some of it comes out of the pockets of these idiot Drug Warriors.
'Higher than usual energy use'...
Mayhap there are some nice experiments that could be performed on the NIH bastards
The folks at White Coat Waste, a trans-partisan non-profit advocacy group based in the nation's capital, earlier this week released a new study documenting that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is "still shipping U.S. tax dollars to dozens of Chinese animal labs… including labs torturing beagles as young as one day old."
"Documents uncovered through WCW’s investigation detail how NIH-funded labs in China are killing Beagles as young as one day old and severing Beagle puppies’ spinal cords. In one published experiment, white coats at a Chinese government lab write that 'the dogs were executed,'” WCW continued.
Much of the experiments include severing the animal's spine, thus rendering its back legs useless and forcing the poor creature to drag itself around using only its front legs. Once the animal's usefulness in the experiment is past, it is, to use the Chinese lab's designation, "executed."
And still these assholes are doing deals with the PRC to do things they can't get away with here...Obviously this agency has far too much money to play with, severe budget cuts are in order.

People don't want to get the Wuhan and flu vaccines, so obviously
Try not lying to them over and over, that might just work wonders. If you can build back enough trust for that to work.
Damn, I wish Milei could run for President here,
At the UN, Milei sounded more American than Trump. The Argentine president told the UN, “I want to be clear about something, so there are no misinterpretations. Argentina, which is undergoing a profound process of change at the present, has decided to embrace the ideas of freedom.
“Those ideas that say that all citizens are born free and equal before the law, that we have inalienable rights granted by the creator, among which are the right to life, liberty and property.”
...
He told the UN, “World history shows that the only way to guarantee prosperity is by limiting the power of the monarch, guaranteeing equality before the law, and defending the right to life, liberty, and property of individuals.”
He spoke with the eloquence of Jefferson: “We believe in the defense of life, for all. We believe in the defense of property, for all. We believe in freedom of expression, for all. We believe in freedom of worship, for all. We believe in freedom of commerce, for all. And we believe in limited governments, all of them.”
It's nice when the enemy admits just how corrupt the Do'J' is

I had a chance to try out those Lee bullet loads, and let's say
Also: the second loads that I left to max length? If there's any fouling in the throat, they won't chamber. As in "Clean the bore, chamber one, fire it to foul the bore, blow tube, now the next round won't chamber."
So much for that idea. I'll try seating the bullets a little deeper and see if that works.
This information from New Zealand and Spain says two things: A bunch of .gov clowns lied (link fixed)
A bunch of people in a bunch of countries need to hang over this.

Incompetence can only cover so much,
USSS personnel were notified of a suspicious person with a rangefinder around the AGR building approximately 27 minutes before the shooting … [it] was relayed to the USSS Security Room at approximately 5:44 pm and to the USSS Counter Sniper Team Leader at 5:45 pm. Shortly after, USSS personnel, including a Counter Sniper Response agent, engaged in an on-the-ground effort to locate the individual. However, the USSS Lead Advance Agent, Site Agent, and Site Counterpart all told the Committee they did not receive this information and therefore did not know local law enforcement had identified a suspicious person with a rangefinder — and that those local officers later lost track of this individual — until after shots were fired.
USSS was notified about an individual on the AGR roof approximately two minutes before [Thomas M.] Crooks fired from AGR roof. Three minutes before shots were fired, a local law enforcement officer sent out a radio alert that there was an individual on the AGR roof. This information was passed to the USSS Security Room approximately two minutes before Crooks fired. Approximately 22 seconds before Crooks fired, a local officer sent out a radio alert that the individual on the AGR roof was armed, but that was [allegedly] not relayed to key USSS personnel that the Committee spoke with.
The report continues:
And yes, there's more. There's a link to the full report, too. I've only done a quick scan, but I can say this: the table of contents is enough to get your Breakables Alert in effect.
Shortly before shots were fired, a USSS counter sniper saw local law enforcement running toward the AGR building with their guns drawn, but he did not alert former President Trump’s protective detail to remove him from the stage. The USSS counter sniper told the Committee … the thought to notify someone to get Trump off the stage ‘“did not cross [his] mind.”
USSS counter snipers — including the one who shot and killed Crooks — were sent to the rally in response to ‘credible intelligence’ of a threat. The July 13 rally was the first time a USSS counter sniper team was assigned to a protectee other than the President, Vice President, or a presidential candidate who had been formally nominated by his or her party… [but of] the USSS personnel interview by the Committee, nearly all … said they were unaware of any credible intelligence of a threat.
I'm sure someone will inform us that it's racist
The vicious Venezuelan migrant gang Tren de Aragua is luring desperate women deep into the heart of the US, forcing them to sell their bodies on the streets of American cities to pay off exorbitant smuggling fees, a newly leaked law enforcement document obtained by The Post reveals.
At least eight states have seen an explosion in migrant prostitution since the gang laid down roots in the US, with authorities in Texas, Nevada, Illinois, California, Florida, Georgia, New Jersey and New York now fighting to curtail the sex trade, the memo shows.
And various politicians will tell us there's nothing to it, "We have no confirmation of this", or something else along those lines.
How stupid is it in the .gov?
Now, the amazing part is how calm the seal was. Because if I was a seal, I'd be like, this is the end. They're definitely going to eat me. When the seal goes back to other seal friends, how's he going to explain that? Never going to believe him. That's why I'm like, well, it's like getting kidnapped by aliens and getting an anal probe. You come back and say, I swear to God, I got kidnapped by aliens, they stuck an anal probe in my butt. And people are like, no, that's ridiculous. His seal buddies are never going to believe him that he gets strapped to a board, and they put headphones on his ears and then let him go.
I don't think the public is quite aware of the madness that goes on."
Whole story here
Everyone in those January 6 hearingsinquisitions
Then-President Donald Trump gave clear instructions to Pentagon brass days before the Jan. 6 riots to “do whatever it takes” to keep the U.S. Capitol safe, including deploying National Guard or active-duty troops, but top officials did not comply because of political concerns, according to transcripts of bombshell interviews conducted by the Defense Department's chief watchdog that shine new light on government disfunction ahead of the historic tragedy.
Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff, confirmed to the Pentagon inspector general three years ago that during a Jan. 3, 2021, Oval Office meeting Trump pre-approved the use of National Guard or active duty troops to keep peace in the nation’s capital on the day Congress was to certify the results of the 2020 election.
Milley's interviews were among several key to transcripts obtained by House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., and shared with Just the News.
Those who, like Cheney, did it because of personal dislike, should then be keelhauled. Which would be pretty much all of the bastards.

Isn't this a lovely prospect?
But Muhammad, 53, who’s gone straight and runs a street patrol and violence prevention program called Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change says Venezuelan criminal gangs flooding shelters and taking over apartment buildings are the last straw for the struggling African-American community. He says they are furious at seeing government money going to what they call “non-citizens.”
“It is impossible to release gang members and criminals into our country through the borders and broken walls and infiltrate them in our community that’s already impoverished and broken,” Muhammad told The Post last week on the O Block, a stretch along South King Drive that’s considered the most dangerous in the city.
The latest figures show Chicago has spent almost half a billion dollars over the last two years on the more than 42,000 migrants who’ve arrived since 2022.
Many have been given money for rent, food stamp cards and even cars — and some landlords have pushed out local African-Americans because they can get more government money for housing migrants.
“The real issue is that America has allowed gangs to enter our country,” said a young Gangster Disciples member, David, standing on a high-volume drug-dealing corner near Martin Luther King Blvd.
“Gangs that they would consider ex-terrorist groups. They let terrorist groups into our country!” he yelled angrily to the Post.
How many other cities, I wonder? And when it happens, how many of the cops those cities have treated like crap are going to want to get in to open battles to try and stop it? And how many innocents will be caught in the middle?Remember the concerns about the nitrocellulose supply?
Antimony’s Critical Role
Antimony is a crucial material for the U.S. defense sector, particularly for hardening lead bullets and creating other munitions. The closure of domestic antimony mines in the early 2000s has left the U.S. entirely dependent on foreign sources, with China being the most significant supplier. Recent efforts, such as the proposed reopening of the Stibnite Gold Mine in Idaho, are intended to reduce reliance on Chinese imports. However, these projects will take years to come online, meaning the U.S. remains vulnerable to supply chain disruptions in the short term.
Nitrocellulose and Ammunition Production
Nitrocellulose, another critical component in ammunition manufacturing, has also become a point of geopolitical tension. Nitrocellulose is used in propellant powder and is necessary for both firearms and artillery. Europe, too, has felt the pinch, as European countries rely on China for the bulk of their nitrocellulose imports to supply Ukraine with ammunition during its ongoing conflict with Russia.
In May 2024, a major nitrocellulose plant in Hubei province, China, exploded, further tightening the supply chain. Although nitrocellulose is relatively simple to produce, its hazardous nature means that only a few companies are qualified to handle its production. With China now restricting its exports of nitrocellulose, European and U.S. ammunition manufacturers are scrambling to find alternative sources.
I guarantee that any actions to expand mining and manufacture here, and in friendly places, are going to have the watermelons* screaming against it to 'save Mother Gaia', and the leftists will want to stop it because it will weaken us.
