This is what the NYeffingTimes and that bastard Kristof want to push

off the front page.  Because the NYeffingTimes and Kristof and a bunch of others are on the enemy side.

Sickening is a good word for what the Palisimians did.  The words I have for the Times and Co. are far less polite.

I swear, the ability to keep the house clean and neat was not passed on to me,

which, considering how Mom kept her house is amazing.

Either that or I have too much crap and not actually enough space.

I ever have to move, the house I get will have to have more rooms and space; something like a bedroom, work room, maybe a reloading and ammo room would be nice, bigger kitchen, something like that would be nice if I could afford it.

Oh, and possibly a maid once a week.  Or month.  Something to help me keep all this caught up.  Why not dream?

No, you can't hate the NYeffingTimes enough, because it's full of people

who are on the enemy side.

Borrowing a comment:
“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

ten years in the office, handing Britian to the EUnuchs, endless illegal aliens, and "Those people who don't like what's happening are un-British and need to be quiet."

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!"

Not much of a future as dhimmis that people will want.

There's a line I heard somewhere, 'Kindness to the wicked is

wickedness to the kind.'  Yeah, no shit.

I find it interesting that the Brit Daily Mail had that story, and not one damn thing on their PM needing to be run out of office on a rail, and at least yesterday and today nothing on Labour & Sidekicks getting their asses kicked.


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 'news', you hear about this on yours?  Or are they all keeping it quiet?

Speaking of having problems, that includes racist clowns like these

They're likely to find that a lot of people will have problems with that attitude, and especially with asshats like them trying to carry it out.

I can't help thinking this is going to have problems with "Hey, I used smokeless powder like it says,

why'd it blow up?"  Nevertheless, it is a nice step for a bunch of people, a muzzleloader designed to use specifically Blackhorn 209 or one of two smokeless propellants.  New CVA Endura, with a bolt-action breech.

According to their site, 

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.

So no black powder, it would seem.  Just saw this this morning, be interesting with bullets work best with it, and what kind of accuracy.

First Mother's Day with Mom gone

 Definitely different.

I should note that Britain had a bunch of council elections, and the Labour Party and the Tory Party(to a lesser extent)

got their asses kicked, which is causing lots of upset and wailing, and traitors wondering what's going to happen to them when they can't hide behind that seat anymore?

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.

This was intended for last night

and I forgot, so here it is today

This definitely counts as a 'Why?', and the only reason I can think of

is 'range toy'.

Be a lot of kids on those ships,

so it doesn't surprise me.  I'll bet some Democrats have already bitched about these child abusers being caught.

Especially that asshat in Californicated who wants to be their next Senator.

Speaking of asshats, remember that idiot mayor of Charlotte who wouldn't use that murdered girls name, and made excuses for the murderer?  She's resigning, which brings up did she get tired of being such a criminal lover(illegal aliens as well as general murderers), or did she find out someone got something on her that would cause her to be forced out?

There's been a lot of people who've made either excuses for the Aztec history of sacrifices and cannibalism, or tried to convince people it didn't happen.  Someone's started a thing about "If the Aztec had beaten the Spanish attacks off and modernized in their own time and way", so a guy dug out some quotes from witnesses.  Aided, I will note, by all the skull towers and so forth that've been found over time by people doing utility work or construction in the Mexico City area.

A bit of history on .30 caliber military sniper rounds,

the bullets in particular

No surprises

Ok, Holosun, what gives?

I picked up one of their sights, which came with a 'Go to this sight to register your purchase' cards.  Which takes you to a huge messed-up web page with big empty spaces with big frames.

Looked up a address and sent "What gives?" message.  "We are the Holosun site for Europe, use this site(address given) to do this in the US."  WHich took me right back to the messed-up page.

Their sights are good, but this is a mess.

All the boomsticks I wouldn't mind having,

but have no real need for.  And that includes "I NEED it!" need.  Things like that Pedersoli double-barrel rifle in .44 Magnum.  Lots of other "Ooh, that's pretty!" things that I either don't have room for, or actually need, or both.

Two of my Grail guns have been found over time, there's maybe one I'd be real tempted to scrape up the money for if I found one(1800's Sharps rifles are rare and expensive), but other than that?  Nope, not really.

What brought this to mind is Kim is selling two rifles to make space for/money for a new one.  Oh, if I happened across that one thing I'd do that, but not much other than that comes to mind.  Which actually eases the mind a bit.

"Don't actually gas them, but make them think you are

so you can terrify them!"  And if some die from that, that's ok with her.

Who's the nazi, again?


Speaking of,

That's more wonderfulness from the wife and advisor 'whose views do not inform the administration" of Mayor Commie Islamist.

Yes, a civil right is a RIGHT, and it doesn't matter

what politician would like to change that.

That just means we need to get rid of that politician.

Demanding body cameras on cops 'to prove they're racist' turned out to be

one big-ass backfire on the left.  So now they claim telling officers to wear cameras is racist, because something that proves the deceased bad guy is bad doesn't fit their Preferred Narrative.


Speaking of judges who need to be stripped of that black robe and told they're idiots and bigots...

Nobody should run someone over just because that person is intentionally delaying them. But at some point, delaying a person becomes detaining a person. Then the rules change.
Damn right they do.  And, by the way, when you lie about what happened to make the guy trying to leave an attacker, you're full of shit and people know it.  And I agree with Insty, expel the bastards.

Yes, we remember Reginald Denny, and other people attacked by leftists playing victim.

And, last thing for now, a bunch of Indiana Republicans just got tossed from office, and are seriously butthurt about it.  And apparently don't understand why they're gone.

Insty has a collection of stuff, which points out that disappointing and pissing off(on) the voters can get your ass kicked.  And whining that "Revenge & retribution is not a Christian value.” is bullshit when you got kicked for betraying your voters.

'The weather's different across the street' says

says the View, but it happens here too.

Long time ago riding down a state highway and passed a country road.  Glanced down it, turned around and looked again.  Half the road was wet from the thunderstorm that'd moved through, the other side dry, and literally down the middle was the dividing line.

Jernalizm: AP Forgoes Balanced Reporting

In Favor of Anti-Gun Advocacy
And, like a number of other times in the past while, I'll ask 'Are you surprised?  If you are why?'

Because this is the kind of things AP does in the name of pretending to be actual reporters.

Agreed: ' Do unto rotten feds as rotten feds would do unto you. (link fixed)

Full process. Starting with pre-dawn raid and perp walk.'

Oh yes, very much so.

About that commie candidate for Senate in Maine,

 

Because he is a commie, and the Democrats have largely moved so far left there that since he has Sanders and Occasional-Cortex praising and endorsing him, they'll ignore the SS tattoo and the other crap.

Talk about freaking out the right people

That term has been used around the world to try and stop ANY criticism of that religion, and stupid people still love it.

Islam is a religious/political movement that uses any advantage, including yelling 'Racist!' at anybody who criticizes something about it.  Like , having a problem with islamists wanting all Jews dead and all Christians either dead, enslaved or paying jizya.

I am just about convinced that that gunsmith is right, Added data And more, answering comments

this rifle is cursed.

Just to go over this: DPMS receiver, 20" .308 barrel, rifle gas system, Superlative adjustable gas block, I bit the bullet, found a H4 buffer for a decent price and it's paired with a extra extra heavy buffer spring.  I took it out early in the week, and with the gas block venting at just shy of its complete capacity I got 22 rounds with no problem, then it started stovepiping.  With the empties ejecting at 3 o'clock.

Thinks I, 'Maybe it's when it gets dirty that it starts it again', so when back home cleaned it thoroughly and lubed, then today took it to the range to try again.

Nope.  Same problem from the start.

So I'm out of ideas.  Other than finding a open-minded priest.

Added: 
Had a standard gas block when all this started.

I did get a new extractor/spring set, as a bunch of people mentioned that as a possibility.

Ejector is the same, but has been checked on function.

Works great bare, but add the backpressure of a can and this happens, with all indications being overgassed.
I have built several AR15s in the past, none of them had such a problem.

Blarg, dammit.

2nd Added:
Obviously there's something about adding the can on that's triggering this.  Annoying as hell.

And to Anonymous, somebody mentioned the gas port itself possibly being the problem, and it's on the list to check soon as I have time.

Again, folks, thank you for the comments, personal 'This happened', and other information

This has apparently got a lot of lefties in an uproar

Bluesky is in full panic. A full on exposed API has revealed thousands of people who signed up for the GTFO Ice site. Full names, phone, and zip codes.

Yeah, need to make some space

So here's some stuff saved up
