Really, Ireland?

THIS CRAP is what you're 'taking action' on?

I take it that Irish women and girls being raped and harassed doesn't really bother you?

"Well, Mr. El-Sayed, why shouldn't I ask you this question,

or these others?  And no, calling me 'islamophobic' is not an answer."

A fine piece about 'Why all the screaming about the Secretary of War'?

Besides the name change triggering their sensitive feelings.
You don't need a coup in the old sense. You just need enough men in uniform to decide that elected authority is optional. And that is why the position of Secretary of War matters so much. If Pete Hegseth is seen by communists as the man who won't let that break happen, then of course the pressure lands on him. You don't waste time pounding on a wall if there's one hinge holding the gate shut. You go after the hinge. Because if the Secretary of War is weak and the generals begin deciding for themselves which lawful presidential orders deserve obedience, then the republic has a problem far bigger than whoever is SECWAR. At that point, the uniform is no longer serving the Constitution through civilian command. It's becoming its own political authority. That's what every red revolution wants. That's how republics die from the inside. Not always with gunfire. Sometimes with memos, hesitation, professional pressure, and men convincing themselves that disobedience is virtue. History is full of governments that thought the military was loyal right up until the hour it wasn't. That's the lesson.

Part of what lets the French rioters get away with what they do

As Kevin from Smallest Minority said, what are you supposed to do?
Submit.
Just like the commie Mayor of NYeffingCity, and various other Mayors and Governors want, you're supposed to be helpless on your own and depend on the state to save you.

IF they will.

Just like Silver was when the palesimians came over the border.

Vivian Silver was a Canadian-Israeli who dedicated her life to help Gaza and vilify Israel. She organized programs to help Gazan workers in Israel, drove them to Israeli hospitals, joined the anti-Israeli organization B’tselem and founded “Women Wage Peace.” As part of her work, she lead tours of the Israeli–Gaza border to raise awareness about the struggle of Gaza’s residents.

Finally, with her kind aid, their struggle was successful!

On October 7, those residents broke through the border and came to her home. They didn’t kidnap her. They just murdered her. It took a month to identify what remained of her.

Such an ironic end to Gaza’s greatest friend in Israel. Let this be a lesson to anyone who considers walking in her path: a scorpion cannot change his nature.
He has a followup to this when one of Silver's relatives threw a fit at him.


Yesterday I had the great fun of waiting for plumbers to show up and replace the water heater.  So today has been a bit of looking at the news, and now needing to both clean and get outside and ride the bicycle.  We'll see which I wind up doing.

Damn, Ruger suspends production of several models

including some of their justly famous revolvers.
"Ruger announced changes to several current-generation product families yesterday as part of our ongoing Ruger 2030 strategy," said Abbey Clary, Ruger's director of media, advertising and public relations. "This does not necessarily mean these product families are permanently discontinued."
Well, we'll see what happens.

Slotkin: "I'm being punished for my words

because I'm a woman!"

No, because you're a bigoted fascist bitch who apparently actually wants a civil war in this country.

There, nice & simple.

Let's see, on this busy morning,

France is either burning or about to completely erupt.  It may have started with some actual protests over school conditions, but the agitators and the muslim activists jumped right in, and it's gone to hell.  With, among the usual arsons and assaults,
A French journalist [Paul Amar] reports that rioters in Marseille burned and vandalized Jewish-owned businesses while leaving Muslim-owned shops on the same street untouched, suggesting the attacks were planned in advance… Against the backdrop of historic riots and disturbances that swept France over Shabbos, journalist Paul Amar shed light on a CNews broadcast on the extent of advance organization among the rioters
Doesn't sound like education funding protests, does it?

And have our news networks had much to say about this?

Meanwhile, here in the US, the same people/connected groups are planning on doing the same here.  

Think the 'news' services will say much about this?

Oh, now the rioting 'students' are threatening to burn Notre Dame if a terrorist isn't released from prison.  Aren't they such caring people?

And I've got crap to try and do, so that's probably it for today

I would say that the proper introduction for her in the future should be 'Nazis and Fascists and Slotkin,

oh my."

And if- hell, when- she hates it and throws fits, tell her to stop ACTING like those groups, and we won't have to call her on it.

If you have to be in DC for some reason, remember:

the DC cops are not your friends.


Lady, that worked as well as shopowners putting "I support BLM" signs to try to turn the rioters away, didn't it?


Various Arab countries have been warning the Europeans- and us- about 'You think you know these people and islam?  You're an idiot.'


“A flying car is what men do when they are free. A wealth tax is what politicians do to the men who built it. One of them needs the other to survive, and it isn't Musk.”

The whole quote is there, with proper comments on thieves and slimeballs like Sen. Sanders, who neither reap nor sow, they just take.

El-Sayed's good friend Piker, who thinks as much of black people as he does of this country overall, which is very little.  I wonder if the 'news' in that state has had anything on this?  Or too busy kissing El-Sayed's ass?

It being Saturday, one of the days I try to do this,

some stuff will be disposed of for your entertainment

                                                    Makes me think Dejah Thoris of Mars

Well, it worked before

so I'll try it again.

Adults only after this

and you know who is and isn't, whoever isn't

And here.  We.  Go.

Holy bleep, we've got a lot of scientists who really should have listened to Ian Malcolm

in Jurassic Park: "Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

Really makes you wonder what other highly-educated idiots are playing with things they shouldn't.

And that's  not counting the biological warfare people(cough'Russia/China'cough)

Good guy with a gun stops the bad guy,

that thing the gun bigots and media pretend 'almost NEVER happens!'

Damn good thing he was there

A thought occurs about the Omar mess:

if there was ANY real hint that the DoJ would actually, seriously investigate her, if they found evidence in the house, I have to think it's because she thought she couldn't be touched.  Otherwise, she and her minions would have destroyed/moved and hidden ANYTHING that could be used against her.

Much like Biden having all those classified files in his garage.  They thought he couldn't be touched, too.

Anybody surprised, what's wrong with you?

After the Friday release of guidance by the ATF, the answer by the industry was swift and definitive; the sales of suppressors skyrocketed to a point where most manufacturers have sold out most of their near-term allotments and won’t be able to replenish stocks until Q-1 of 2027, if not longer.

Along with the general 'Wheee!', can you say 'in common use'?  And throw in "Holy shit, what happens if we tell people 'We're going to change it back and you'll  have to get a stamp and all, and a more expensive stamp at that', and all these people say 'Screw you, no.' ?"

Which also brings us to this:
Two Texas Gun Rights members whose suppressor business was targeted in a sweeping federal ATF investigation have filed a new constitutional lawsuit against the Department of Justice, challenging the federal government’s authority to regulate firearm suppressors manufactured and sold entirely within Texas. Jared Gee and David Abt, owners of Texas-based suppressor manufacturer 1836 LLC, filed their lawsuit on October 9 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

And we're back to "WHEEE!"

As the man at Bacon Time says, I don't know where this is,

but I'd like to be there, too

Damn, I miss my dogs

We're not the only ones seeing the threat

Mr. Huffman's quote of the day:

Americans — a confession from Japan you were never meant to hear.

We are terrified of fascism. Not the version in your textbooks. The version that lives inside us.

In 1941, no dictator dragged the Japanese people into the dark. We dragged each other. Neighbor watched neighbor. Mothers reported their own sons. One doubtful word at the fish market and the police came in the night. The village went silent. That silence lasted four years and killed millions.

That is how a free nation dies. Not with jackboots. With whispers.

And right now — the same silence is being built again in Japan. Not by the right. By the Left.

They throw our gates open. Strangers pour in by the millions — Muslims, Africans, people who will never bow to our dead. And when a Japanese grandmother dares to say, “wait — slow down — let us think,” she is dragged into the public square and branded a fascist. A racist. A monster.

Hear me clearly: in our country, “racist” is no longer a moral word. It is a muzzle. A weapon. A silencer pressed to the mouth of every citizen who still loves Japan.

If we fall, Beijing feasts. Moscow carves the atlas. The lights of the free world blink out — Tokyo first. Seoul next. Washington within a generation.

So I come to you — Americans. The one nation on earth that still salutes its own flag without flinching.

Do not let the Democrats take your country again.
Do not let your patriots be shamed into silence.
When America stands, the free world stands.

From one wandering samurai in Tokyo, to every patriot across your fifty states —
You are not alone.
You are the wall.
Stand.

NOBUNAGA🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga

I saw something interesting a few days ago:

guy showed up with a bright pink suppressor a friend had 3-D printed, and wanted to try it out.  

It worked quite well.  Unless it was some really interesting plastic it probably won't last long, but if you stuck with subsonic ammo, might last a fair while.  And then?  Print a new one.

This brings us to the idea of "You're going to ban this?  Really."  The idiots are trying to ban 3-D printers that don't have "We don't like this so don't make it" software, and it won't work.

Interesting times.

I don't think these people forgot the lessons,

they never learned them.  And it'll be interesting when the lawsuits start biting them in the ass.

And when the fangs hit, they'll scream about sexism and 'you hate women!' and every other excuse they can think of for why they shouldn't be sued.

Harper’s Magazine to Honor NPR CEO Katherine Maher with First Amendment Award

If that name doesn't ring a bell, Turley has a couple of her dislikes of the 1st Amendment.  And there's this, and this.  For starters.

'First Amendment Award' my ass.

I'm going to have to share this before I clean up and get ready to crash,

“Here richly, with ridiculous display,
The Politician’s corpse was laid away.
While all of his acquaintances sneered and slanged,
I wept: for I had longed to see him hanged.”

Busy today,

lots of crap happening out there, but I haven't cared enough to take time to yell about them.

More tomorrow, or maybe some later, we'll see.

"Hey, baby, how 'bout

a little ear?"

I swear that giraffe is laughing.  A fine one from Wirecutter

There's a joke that someone said "I don't like what the Israelis are doing in Gaza,

because it's not nearly tough and nasty enough."  Except it's not a joke.

And we've got lots of leftists and general idiots crying for the Gazans who took part, supported, and generally approve of what was done.

Screw 'em all, and not in a fun way.

A good piece on the current state of men & women,

I'm going to quote part of it:
“The end result of liberal sexual ethics writ large — according to which women seldom say no and they can be, or should be, every bit as debauched as men — has not been a joyful bacchanal but a minefield. It’s a two-tiered system for the sexes.

Female sexuality is practically unlimited, but it’s not coupled with an expectation of responsibility or agency, or even the minimal requirement to know and clearly communicate one’s own mind. On the other side of the ledger, male sexuality is maximally constrained. In a reversal of biological fortune, men are now expected to be the brakes on sex, even when women directly advertise that they are eager and open to all comers. In the face of “free p****,” to quote one defendant’s vulgar chat message, they must either be rapists or monks…
Whole post is here

Borrowed from a piece on the "The gang problem is YOUR FAULT!" politicians

Yeah, it's low hanging fruit because the Somalis don't even hide it. They brag about the fraud and then accuse the whistleblowers of being racist.

We're not falling for that anymore.

The entire purpose of unfettered illegal immigration, especially from Third World hellholes like Somalia, is to fundamentally transform and destroy America. The gang violence is the norm in Somalia, and the people we imported here pass that normalized violence onto their offspring.

It's already illegal for minors to have guns. They didn't buy these weapons at the local gun store. It's illegal to shoot others. Yet I notice criminals of all stripes really don't seem to care about the laws.

But think about the absolute chutzpah it takes to come here, allow your savage offspring to go on violent rampages, and then not only blame American culture and a failure to fork over even more welfare money, but demand Americans give up their Second Amendment rights.
...
The Left has made it very clear they want us dead. Communism killed 100 million in the 20th century, and a lot of them for objecting to the communist takeovers. Hasan Piker wants Maoist-style punishment for disobedient Democrats, and they spent September 10 cheering the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Between the commies and the Muslims, the Second Amendment is not just a right, it's a need.

Yes, it is.  As the saying goes, "They want to ban your guns because they plan to do bad things to you, and they don't want you to fight back."

"TRUMP IS A RACIST!"

How?

"BECAUSE WE SAY SO!"
How?
No, we don't hate the media enough.

Well, here goes nothing

and we'll see if this trips the "YOU can't do that!" filters
