Well, hell, one more reason a more affordable blunderbuss kit
There's a definite lack of blogging lately,

Is anyone else as sick of 'Download our App!' as I am?
Bleah. Bullshit.

Starmer is stepping down
A new S&W is out there
I want to see one. Hell, I'd like to shoot one.
Kim's new boomstick is announced,

"I say, Smedley, those Americans can own muskets and flintlock rifles,
"Oh, I say, that's awful!"
No, it's not, Limey. Now go piss off and hope your invaders don't kill you and rape your wife.
Isn't it wonderful how the left has gone from 'Racist!' as their standard insult
And they'll never admit- even if they could conceive it- the damage their own stuff has done.
"I did not drink it", which fits well with "I smoked it but did not inhale" and "I did not have sex with that woman."
A: You can't trust the Kurds.
B: Further reason you NEVER give up your arms.

This is what the NYeffingTimes and that bastard Kristof want to push
Tuesday, May 12, 2026
I swear, the ability to keep the house clean and neat was not passed on to me,
Either that or I have too much crap and not actually enough space.
No, you can't hate the NYeffingTimes enough, because it's full of people
“If you do not believe @nytimes knew EXACTLY what they were doing with the timing of the Kristof “opinion” piece [ie, trying to preempt justified outrage at Hamas’s sexual crimes by suggesting that Israel similarly engages in such crimes] I have a nice bridge to sell you.”

This seems to cover the 'progressive' organizations pretty well
Good was not a trained professional. She was not a lawyer. She was not a federal monitor. She was labeled a “legal observer”—a title casually bestowed by activist organizations that carries no legal standing but enormous psychological weight. It implies authority without responsibility, protection without power, and safety without consequence.
It is, bluntly, a lie.
That lie is sold aggressively to a specific demographic: affluent, educated white women who have spent their lives buffered from the sharp edges of state power. They are overrepresented in progressive nonprofits, activist training sessions, and street-level demonstrations precisely because they are useful. Their presence sanitizes confrontation. Their voices humanize the cause. Their injuries—and deaths—generate outrage capital and the next Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, or George Floyd “moment” that has fueled nearly every major protest movement since 2012.
This is not an accident. It is a strategy.
And now Renee Gold is dead and the progressive ghouls have their “moment.”
Well, Two-Tier is still there, and demanding
I'd wondered if he'd take his "I want to be dominated by the EU for our own good" crap and sign an agreement with the idea that "Now it's too late for you people to change it, so I will Lead You To The Future!"
There's a line I heard somewhere, 'Kindness to the wicked is
Looks like Two-Tier Starmer is leaving the PM's office. And not on a rail, like it should be. Or, even better, becoming a lamppost or tree decoration.
Speaking of,
Nigel Farage’s Reform went from two council seats to 1,453. Labour, by contrast, lost 1,446 seats. But the conservative also lost council seats, 563 of them, which now puts them behind the Liberal Democrats, something that hasn’t happened since, well, ever.
Sounds like what happened to a number of RINOs here.
Being a pretend conservative isn't very popular in (fG)Britain, either.
Speaking of having problems, that includes racist clowns like these
I can't help thinking this is going to have problems with "Hey, I used smokeless powder like it says,
APPROVED PROPELLANTS FOR THE ENDURA
"Blackhorn 209 is CVA’s all-around recommended propellant for the Endura rifle, as it is both a great performer and legal for use during most muzzleloading hunting seasons.
However, since Blackhorn 209 can sometimes be hard to find, the CVA Endura was designed to also be usable with specific types and amounts of modern smokeless rifle powders. These approved smokeless rifle powders are IMR 4198 and VihtaVuori N120. Be sure to check your local hunting regulations before using such modern smokeless rifle powders for hunting."
WARNING: THESE ARE THE ONLY APPROVED PROPELLANTS FOR USE IN THE CVA ENDURA. DO NOT LOAD ANY OTHER TYPES OF MODERN SMOKELESS POWDER, INCLUDING OTHER SUCH POWDERS DESIGNED FOR PISTOLS, SHOTGUNS, OR RIFLES, IN A CVA ENDURA.

I should note that Britain had a bunch of council elections, and the Labour Party and the Tory Party(to a lesser extent)
I'd hope tar & feathers at the least, and some of the bastards should become tree or lamppost decorations, but probably no such luck.
There are several pieces on it here, and lots more out there if you want to search around. Which also has this piece of disgustingness:
HAVE last week’s local council elections brought Islamic blasphemy laws one step closer? Dr Gavin Ashenden argues that they have. He says the clearest message to come from the results is that ‘the electoral muscle of Muslim communities’ can act as a veto to remove parties from power.
He refers to Nazi Germany to explain how this can happen. It is the best example, he argues. Just 12 per cent of the population belonging to the Nazi party resulted in Hitler’s winning path through democratic means. The way our democratic voting system works means that single blocks voting together can swing an election one way or the other. The government, he reminds us, is already looking for ways to make criticism of Islam impossible or illegal. The consequence of the latest round of elections – with Labour looking over its shoulder to its declining Muslim vote and desperate to keep it – makes that prospect considerably more likely, and it threatens one of the most precious things we have, which is freedom of speech.
It's disgusting that the answer is almost certainly yes. Much like I expect NYeffingCity will wind up with Sharia patrols starting at any time, with anyone who objects being labeled a racist and Commie Islamist Mamdani trying to figure out how to have them arrested.
