Those damn Brit enviroweenies are really messing with important stuff now:

bad enough they've caused high electricity prices and not enough power, now they're screwing with the making of Scottish Holy Water, damn their eyes, all in the name of Net Zero.

This is a distraction for me, and a general 'Take a look' for you folks,

Today was first day of evaluation and physical therapy,

the therapy varying from "That's not a problem" to "Stop there, that's painful!"

I did ask if it were best for me to say something or make noises if something became painful, and I was assured that both are fine.  So some noises were made, but nothing that required some level of screaming.  Close in one case, but not quite.

Weeks of this to come, and still have to wear the sling most of the time.  Oh yes, it will be fun.

"Hey, how did this happen?!?

"This isn't Portland, and we take ambushes of law enforcement seriously here."

"A few shots fired, what's the big deal?"
"You leave out the shots fired, one cop wounded, and all the rest, don't you?"

They got used to getting away with garbage like this thanks to socialist politicians, and they have real problems with "No, you can't walk away from this here."

Speaking of civil rights in places where they only have the ones the .gov allows,

Here’s the thing: censors always think their motives are pure. From inquisitors to commissars to modern “hate speech” units, they all believe they’re preventing some existential harm. That has never made it okay to strip people of their basic rights, and it doesn’t change the fact that this is precisely what they’re doing.

In the United States, we (still) recognize that. In the EU and the UK, they increasingly do not. And that’s more dangerous to how we treat speech in the US than the abuses that happen in places like China or Iran, because we aren’t likely to turn into China or Iran. But we may turn into the UK, or Germany, or Finland, where they purport to maintain their belief in free expression but have rationalized it into a corner where it can do very little good. So while we’re never shocked at horrifying censorship in China or Russia, we should continue to be shocked by the retreat from liberalism that we’re seeing in the Anglosphere and in Europe. We also need to be vocal in opposing it, because it really could happen here.
Lots of examples in the post.

And why the politicians who push this crap should be labeled traitors to their country.

Civil rights victory,

A unanimous three-judge panel of the U.S. Fifth Circuit last week ruled that suppressors are protected by the Second Amendment, exactly the opposite of a decision from the California-based Ninth Circuit.

In the 11-page decision in the appeal of U.S. vs. Comeaux (24-30307) published in the Western District of Louisiana on June 18, the court fell back on the "text, history, and tradition" guidelines of Bruen and the meaning of "bear arms" as explained in the Heller ruling ("wear, bear, or carry . . . for the purpose . . . of being armed and ready for offensive or defensive action in case of conflict with another person.") to explain that "silencers" (suppressors) are bearable arms.
Which can set it up to go to the Supremes.

This will have Starmer, his equally-asshat replacement, and the Labour Party trying to make sure

the British people are unable to see this.  Partial quote:
One of the things that’s become extremely apparent to me after spending a few days here with a group of Americans and other nationalities is how much of a fucking pussy English people are in general when it comes to arms, guns, and basically protecting their nation. We’ve been totally pacified in the UK and through removal of our arms, our right to bear arms, it’s caused a big problem for us.
Another reminder: we can NEVER let the leftists take the 2nd Amendment out of the Constitution.

This I'll take time for

The PM of (fG)Britain has resigned.  Finally.  and I'll borrow two comments

And

On, the media noting Starmer crying?  
First, he's important, y'see, unlike those common girls and other victims.
Second, for his time as a 'prosecutor' and PM, yeah, he should pay.  But the chances are just about zero, and those are probably, at least in part, tears of relief as he considers that.

Yes, it's Monday, and right now the only thing I can mention is this

which seems to sum it up nicely:

Otherwise?  The left hates Trump, and if he solved all big troubles in one swoop they still would.  Some on the right hate him, too, and the same.

Britain seems destined for either a serious revolution or sinking, much of Europe the same.

And right now, I just don't care.  Maybe later.

Ah, I'd forgotten the ACLU showing once again that they only truly care about rights they approve of:

“Protecting the rights of marijuana users.” Note that neither the phrase “gun rights” or “Second Amendment” appears anywhere in the ACLU’s email blast to donors cheering their win representing Ali Hemani at the Supreme Court in a unanimous ruling.

The ACLU’s big takeaway here:

The court has sent a strong message that the government cannot criminalize the conduct of large numbers of people by making categorical and unfounded assumptions about whether they are dangerous.

The fact that those people have a civil right to keep and bear arms never seems to enter into the equation for the “nation’s guardian of liberty, working in courts, legislatures, and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and the laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country.”

Well, some of the individual rights and liberties, anyway.

Five years

 Yeah, I still miss him

reminds me of something...

Oh yeah, got it.  When the Brit NHS decided "We have said this kid is going to die, and he'll die.  We don't care if someone will fly him somewhere and treat him in another country at no cost to us, WE decided he's going to die."  There were pictures of cops outside the hospital with orders to keep protesters away- this was after the family had been told that if they caused any problems they wouldn't get to see their kid before death- and someone had a picture of a group and mention of  'Over here, that'd be a target-rich environment', to the upset of all the leftists.

Some guy posted on a Fecesbook post I made of that and said "Do you know how disgusting that sounds to the rest of the world?"  I said "Why should I care what the 'rest of the world' thinks?"

Someone had a link to this song a week or so ago,

it's a bit odd bit I rather like it

Ok, so now a bit of clearing

Starting with

Well, it is approaching that day

Some more adult themes following

First weekend back at work,

and not much time right now, so maybe something later.

One quick note: someone who really should have set himself on fire.

Never forget that the same kind of Elites

 jailing people for liking tweets, or posting something said Elites consider objectionable on social media, for daring to notice the racism and horrible bigotry and control hunger of the Elites and their chosen pets, would like to do it here.  Thus all the hunger for 'hate speech' laws so we won't know what they're up to.

Which brings me to this article from Britain: My Contributions to the Independent Rape Gang Inquiry

I haven't had time to read it all yet, but I wanted to make sure I didn't lose track of the link.

There's also this on the betrayal of Britain's daughters, hell, the whole families, which fits right in with what happened here under Biden & Co.: 300,000 illegal alien kids brought into the US and just handed over to supposedly trusted guardians, and they and the kids disappeared.  They've found some, but the rest?  God and the sex slavers know.  ANd that happened here, thanks to the same kind of slimeballs who've handed Britain to the savages.

Yes, that's a harsh word.  Fits very well.

I didn't want to warm something up again, or

try to go somewhere for lunch, so I decided to cook something.

Yes, it's still a pain.

Yes, cleanup was worse.

No, I won't try that again for a while.

Another piece on the connections between the Labour Party, the 'cops;,

and the sex slavers.  They're all tied in together.

Lawdog has a piece on this mess, and it brings up, to me, two things:
NONE of these bastards would fall on their sword, because they have no honor or integrity.
THIS is why the same bastards are so determined to have the British people disarmed.  Because they know damned well that an armed people would have done something about the guilty that the .gov refuses to deal with.

Ah, Spanberger's Virginia: "Your vote will count

as long as it's what we wanted it to be."

Whether Starmer & Party liked it or not, a study of the Rape Gang mess was done,

and it has been released.

Short version is a bunch of politicians(including Starmer and the Mayor of London) and cops and Public Officials need to be decorating trees.

Oh yes, it's that bad.

Here's an oddball old cartridge

At work got a bunch of old ammo someone needed to get rid of, and there were a bunch of old .22s

And the bullets were magnetic.  Coworker decided to take one apart and grabbed the bullet to twist out, but with just a little torque it snapped off at the case mouth

like this one.  This is a lousy picture of the bullet itself, it appears to be compressed powder in a very thin jacket.  Which reminded me of something, so today, being unable to do much still, got things together, broke this one, put the bullet on top of a can and put a propane torch on it.  Got up to a bright red, nothing melted, which I think means the memory was correct: powdered iron used for gallery loads that would break into powder on hitting the backstop.

Interesting stuff does show up

Yes, terrorists wanted to hit the UFC event at the White House

Looks like some LE more concerned with bad guys that traditional non-muslim religious types stopped them.

I can't  help wondering if the left has yet posted on how sad they are that this was stopped.

Added: they are saying "This is all made-up."

A bunch of soccer fans from other countries are running into things in the US

that they don't know how to deal with.  But they like them.

It's Monday, and the Stalin wannabes in (fG)Britain are hard at work

Meanwhile, Ulstermen and Provos in Ireland are working together to tell the .gov to go to hell, and their media is going all it call to aid the .gov in calling the proper people names.


Meanwhile, "We must prevent a Super El Nino, let's screw with the atmosphere to prevent it!" say idiots.
According to computer simulations, this could keep global warming within safe levels and dramatically cut the severity and length of marine heatwaves.

However, this extreme geoengineering technique is highly controversial, and even the researchers aren't sure what the consequences would be.

Co–author Professor Phoebe Zarnetske, of Michigan State University, warns: 'There's very little known about the ecological impacts.'
Gee, ya think MAYBE?


"You can't have people over to your house to pray without a permit.  Oh, and if you get the permit it's no longer your house and you can't live there."
I'll take 'Politicians who need horsewhipping' for a thousand, Alex.

It says 'open letter', so I'm copying it here

An open letter from a cardiologist to The Lancet.

I'm a cardiologist. I'm an Iranian Jew. And what The Lancet just published is a disgrace to the profession I've dedicated my life to.

Today, one of the world's most prestigious medical journals published an article platforming a campaign to suspend the Israeli Medical Association from the World Medical Association — the global body founded after World War II to ensure physicians would never again be complicit in state violence.

The stated grounds: the IMA allegedly failed to sufficiently condemn the destruction of Gaza's health system.

I need to say what thousands of physicians around the world are thinking but afraid to say publicly.

This is the politicization of medicine. And it will cost patients their lives.

Let me start with what The Lancet chose not to mention.

The World Medical Association itself opposes this suspension. The WMA has stated explicitly that it believes in dialogue and cooperation among all 117 member medical associations, and that suspending members because of the actions of their governments would undermine its ability to promote medical ethics globally.

The Israeli Medical Association has called these accusations "false or contested claims presented as facts." The IMA has advocated for humanitarian aid into Gaza, demanded protections for medical facilities, and upheld principles of medical neutrality. It is a professional medical body — not a branch of the Israeli government.

And here is the fact that apparently doesn't fit the narrative: Hamas systematically used hospitals as military infrastructure — tunnel entrances, command centers, weapons storage, and launching positions. This is extensively documented by multiple independent sources. The weaponization of medical facilities by a combatant force is one of the gravest violations of medical neutrality that exists — and The Lancet's campaign says nothing about it.

Now let me tell you what Israeli medicine actually contributes to the world — because this is what the boycott would destroy.

The PillCam — a capsule-sized camera that revolutionized gastrointestinal diagnosis — developed in Israel. ReWalk — robotic exoskeletons enabling paralyzed patients to walk — developed in Israel. Breakthrough AI diagnostic platforms for cardiac imaging, cancer detection, and pathology. Advanced cardiac technologies I use in my own practice to save lives.

Israel has among the highest per-capita rates of medical innovation on earth, with contributions to oncology, cardiology, neurology, and emergency medicine that benefit patients in hospitals on every continent — including in nations whose governments are now calling for this boycott.

Suspending the IMA doesn't punish a government. It severs research collaborations, breaks training partnerships, and isolates physicians whose innovations are actively saving lives in London, Johannesburg, São Paulo, and New York. The patients who lose are not Israeli. They're everyone.

Here's the question The Lancet apparently doesn't want to answer:

Where is the petition to suspend medical associations from countries with documented mass torture, systematic execution of dissidents, imprisonment of physicians, and zero independent press? Where is the campaign against the medical associations of Iran, Syria, North Korea, China, or Russia?

I was born in Iran. The Iranian regime has executed physicians. Imprisoned medical professionals for treating protesters. Denied healthcare to political prisoners as policy. Operated a medical system in which the government dictates what doctors can and cannot say publicly.

No petition. No Lancet article. No campaign for suspension.

When the standard is applied to one country and one country only — the world's single Jewish state — among 117 WMA member nations, the word for that is not "medical ethics."

The Lancet has a history here. This is not the first time the journal has platformed one-sided activist campaigns against Israel while maintaining a veneer of scientific neutrality. A medical journal's credibility depends entirely on its commitment to evidence, impartiality, and the separation of science from political activism. Every time The Lancet crosses that line, it degrades the trust that physicians and patients place in peer-reviewed publishing.

Medicine must heal, not divide.

The WMA was created so that the medical profession would never again be weaponized by political ideology. Expelling a member nation's medical association because activists demand ideological compliance is the exact inversion of that founding principle.

The WMA Congress meets in Rotterdam this October. The right response to this petition is simple: reject it. Unanimously. Without equivocation.

Medical associations should be held to standards of medical ethics — applied equally, to all 117 members, based on evidence, not political pressure campaigns.

As a physician who left a country where medicine was subjugated to political ideology — where doctors were tools of the state, not servants of their patients — I will say this as clearly as I can:

The moment we allow medical organizations to be expelled based on political litmus tests is the moment we destroy the neutrality that makes global medicine possible.

Defend the IMA. Defend medical neutrality. Defend the principle that a physician's allegiance is to the patient — not to the mob.

The Lancet should be ashamed.

And every physician who values science over activism should say so. Loudly. Before October.

It would be so much easier for them if The Lancet just admitted "We hate Jews"

According to this guy the sportiness in Ireland is well-planned and

well-disciplined, and it's happening more as it's come out that the .gov has been covering up other crimes.

Also says it's begun in Scotland, and thinks it'll be in at least one English city soon.

Starmer and a bunch of other politicians really need to get the hell out, but I think they'd fit that saying about "They'd let the country burn as long as they could rule over the ashes."

A moment of bitching

because there's not much I can do.  I love to read, but not all damned day; I like being able to watch a movie or some show I like, but right now all of it's just background noise.  I can't clean much, or neaten much, or whatever else because one hand just won't do a lot of it.

Hard to cook with one hand.

This is going to be another long day

On the Village, Feral Irishman had a post

asking what happened.  Appears either a idiot algorithm or some whiny bitch griping about something caused blogger to dump the blog.  Does say he's trying to get it back up.

The shoulder is apparently healing.  I say 'apparently' because at this time I'm supposed to do one PT exercise a few times a day, otherwise 'Don't Use That Arm For Anything'.  I start PT in a week or so, and go from there.

And yes, that means you slip and do something there's that moment of "Oh crap, have I messed things up?"

And on it goes.

In other matters,

"Don't feed the zebras!"

Education and the Tyranny of 'Equality'
Hear, hear, say I.

I spent third through tenth grade in a small town, with a school and teachers who, overall, did not feed into the 'You spent effort, so you deserve a higher grade even if you can't do this' attitude.  For which, having seen what was happening when we moved to a place full of teachers with 'modern' training and standards, I give thanks.  Whatever its problems, when you moved to the next grade you could damn well read to level, knew the math required, and causing the problems that got you 'sympathy' in other places got you sent to the principal's office and likely a call to your parents that involved more unpleasantness from the parents than from the principal.

A bit of clearing is called for

and it starts here

                                                        To actually see this from the water...

And, for those of you that pass as adults,
