April 19, a very important day

Patriots Day. Marking April 19, 1775. When Americans took up arms against their king, and bled, at the crack of terrible dawn.

It's a holiday in Massachusetts and Maine, which was then part of Massachusetts. Should be a national holiday.

July 4 marks the day they published a piece of paper, telling the king to shove it. Important. Up until then it was a civil war. Americans who considered themselves Englishmen fighting British troops. After that, it was Americans fighting the British for their independence.

Patriots Day is first blood.

Might as well get on with clearing some things,

starting with these

And now, for the older audience,

Speaking of miserable people

pretending to be an impartial judge...

It's true in Aussie land as well:

First, it's not possible to hate the media enough.
Second, leftist 'progressive' politicians really are traitorous scum.

Politicians and media ass-kissers and judges, oh my

And no, I'm not leaving the Stupid Party out, just haven't seen one on their idiots this morning.

Yesterday having been That Day this year,

I'm borrowing this from Feral:

Tax Poem/Unknown Author

Tax his land, tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor, tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.

Tax his cow, tax his goat,
Tax his pants, tax his coat.
Tax his ties, tax his shirts,
Tax his work, tax his dirt.

Tax his chew, tax his smoke,
Teach him taxes are no joke.
Tax his car, tax his grass,
Tax the roads he must pass.

Tax his food, tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his sodas, tax his beers,
If he cries, tax his tears.

Tax his bills, tax his gas,
Tax his notes, tax his cash.
Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.

If he hollers, tax him more,
Tax him until he’s good and sore.
Tax his coffin, tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.

Put these words upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom!"
And when he’s gone, we won’t relax,
We’ll still be after the inheritance tax.

I was given some advice today on that troublesome rifle,

and I'm going to work on it later.  I'll not write about it until I've tried some things, because I hate writing "Well, crap, that didn't work."  It would be so nice to write "THAT DID IT!"

Again, thank you for the thoughts and prayers.  It's going to take a while to deal with this.  Hell, Dad died five years ago this summer, and I still miss him.

Every piece of crap in the 'Justice' Department who was part of this

should be fired, as a start.
The new report is based on a review of over 700,000 internal records, claiming that the Biden-era Justice Department coordinated with abortion-rights groups to track activists, seek harsher sentences for pro-life defendants and in some cases, withhold evidence ...

The report noted multiple cases, including one involving pro-life activist Mark Houck, who was originally charged with two felony violations of the FACE Act ...

Despite being later acquitted, the report revealed that prosecutors denied a request for him to self-surrender and instead authorized an FBI arrest at his home.
"Hey, the ninja suit guys haven't been given an excuse to show off for CNN in a while, so let's have a raid!"
I include any door-kicker who said "No problem!" to this bullshit in the firing category.


Speaking of people really needing firing,
Auditors just dropped BOMBSHELLs with @RepTimBurchett on why welfare fraud explodes so often.

Agency bosses alllegedly told workers that checking eligibility "is not that big of a deal" and "low priority." Self-attestation remains the "bane of any auditor."

When I first read about that idiot sneaking hippos into Colombia, and them getting loose, I wondered how long it would take for them to hit the point of "We have to start shooting them."

Well, they're there.  Take a critter that size, very territorial and aggressive, and turn it loose where it has no predators...  it's going to get messy.

Speaking of messy, Nuk'em Swalwell is out of office(I think he still gets to collect money for the government), but what about all the other politicians who've used our money to pay off people they've molested/assaulted?  You know, all the ones the people condemning Swalwell voted to keep secret?  Put ALL that out in public.  Because too much of this crap has gone on for decades

I thank you all for the thoughts and prayers,

 may take a few days but I will be back

Well, the big part of that personal business is over

My mother died in hospice last night.  Some stuff to do, so still little to no blogging for a bit.

very busy with personal stuff, little to no blogging

 for a few days.  Catch you later

One quick thing because it demonstrates how far the EUnuchs have come

 

And one more because I can't remember if had something on this before:

One quick piece of news, bureaucrats and 'cops' who should be fired

and, quite possibly, in jail immediately following.

Attention BATFEIEIO: when the Fed judge has said "This rule is vacated" it means you're supposed to drop it, not keep screwing people around with it.


In the rest of news, personal stuff says "Thou shalt not have time to post right now", so maybe later.

And back over there in that part of the world,

Notice how no one's honking or yelling about the blocked roads. Everyone is just casually standing around, calmly talking. This traffic jam is on purpose. It's meant to slow down and even block IRGC and Bassij terrorists from getting to the pilot. I told you that Iranians in occupied Iran were mobilizing to help our American and Israeli allies rescue the second US pilot.

Why, you'd think those people don't see us as their enemy...

Why were they here?

Because a bunch of State Department asshats, kiss-ass politicians who don't care about this country, and general 'We must let anyone in, especially if they hate the US' activists wanted them to be let in, and let stay here while they attack this country.

Because said douchebags think it's best to let enemies in instead of keeping them out.

And because said enemies, like these two, would rather live here where they can say things and wear clothes that, in their powerful relatives country, would- of they were common citizens- get them raped and murdered.  And the aforementioned State and politicians and 'It's important to let enemies come in!' bastards let them get away with it.

They got the WSO out alive,

there was a bunch of shooting involved, we havc some wounded, and the Basij have a bunch of dead and wounded.

Look for the Usual Suspects trying to make this look as bad as possible, and the real enemy on our soil calling for American dead.

Y'know, I have to wonder if the people in charge in Iran thought any about the probably reaction if they had managed to kill our guy.  Trump is not Biden or most any other President we've had in a while, and it would probably have involved stomping, with big boots.

Something I'll pass along, not just for current circumstances

but for future uses, a trauma kit for a church.

I'm not a trained medical guy, just some stuff picked up over time, overall this looks like a good kit.  With, hugely important, someone having some training.  One thing to have a chest seal, another to have someone who already knows how to put it on, not kneeling there reading directions and thinking "God, I hope this works!"

Not a bad kit for a lot of places.l

And good news from Iran, Added:

F-15 WSO recovered alive. Was escaping and evading. Massive fire fight on tgt. Iranians were actively looking for him in the area.

And there was a report earlier, which I cannot find, Found it that a whole bunch of Iraqi mercenaries allowed in by the Iranian regime- to kill troublemaking subjects- was caught crossing the border and caused to assume ambient temperature.

Good things, both.

Yes, clearing time

So,

And some for mature audience members,
