Been a couple of long days and short nights,

yet I managed to collect some entertainment

Why am I not surprised? Addition/additionally, appears to be fake

Original post here.

'Family business'.  Wonder if she realized that they're basically confessing to Social Security fraud?

Addition: various claims that this came from a satire site, so until proven one way or the other, may not be true.

Additionally: looks like Instapundit has taken it down, so I'm assuming it was a fake.

Well, the Brit government knows who they consider the enemy, and are making sure

the cops- excuse me, the janissaries- know it too.

And it's, at this point, exactly who you'd think.

 “The fact one of the t-shirts has a union flag on it is entirely coincidental.”
Oh yeah.  Very convincing.

A few months ago I wrote about Wolff Gunsprings

and what they make.  At the end, the piece I'd installed a mainspring and trigger slide return spring in, and was amazed at the smoothness and lightning of the trigger pull.

Well, slight problem: it wouldn't reliably fire, just not enough energy to make the primers go.

Well, crap.  I wrote to them, and got a number: "Please call our tech staff for assistance."  Which at the time was a low priority with the other stuff going on.  Which, since that's eased off some, I finally remembered, looked up the number and called them.

Soon as I described the problem the tech asked for the make and model, then said 'The only time we've had this problem has been on 'X' model S&W, but here's what we'll do."

If you're not familiar with the S&W revolvers, especially older ones with leaf mainsprings, in the front of the grip frame, near the bottom, is a piece called a strain screw.  You install the hammer spring(it hooks to the trigger using a split end on that end, and the other end has what I call a hook that fits into a slot), then tighten that screw to flex the spring and load it.  They make a extra-long strain screw that can load the spring more than the standard, and sent me one.  No charge.

It came in fast enough to ease my "Where is it?", and I got to work.  The piece fit right in, and worked, but the trigger wouldn't reliably slide forward after being pulled.  Took things back down, put in the next heavier trigger slide spring, and voila!  It worked!  Definitely lighter and smoother than the factory springs, so the next day took it to the range.

Success is mine, everything cycled as should and plenty of punch to fire the primers.*  Trigger is heavier than with the original screw, but very nice(and it works!).

And now, once I have some time(things are better but still busy), I need to load some ammo for it.

*The shooters pack I chose came with a reduced-power mainspring, which turned out to be a bit too for this revolver.  I got a lot of "I've used their stuff, and it's great!" from a lot of people, none of them hat this problem.  I, however, have to be unique.

A combination of things here,

starting with some Democrats want as little restriction against sex- including buy it- with underage teens as possible.  Wonderful people.


An attacker with a knife is scary.  VERY much so.  A good piece on defense against.


An underwater volcano off the Oregon coast appears ready to erupt.  Not expected to be a problem.


This is how many BBC clowns who want all Jews dead?  They seem to collect an awful lot of them.


And the weekend wasn't started by the left, either, but they don't care.

Damn, the left hates Jews and Israel,

you can be obviously messed up, and they'll love you if you're left enough(see 'Biden'); but if he'd started talking(or been allowed to) about Israel with approval, they'd have forced him out sooner.  Fetterman had real problems and they defended him, but when he started showing approve of those said troublesome people, well...
This week, New York magazine, as reliable a Democrat organ as there is, ran a scathing hit piece on Fetterman in which current and former staffers all but suggest that not only should he not be Pennsylvania’s senior senator, he belongs in an assisted living facility.

The piece has no "gotcha" moment that would make any fair person say that Fetterman needs to step aside - you know, the kind former President Biden provided daily. Rather, it is a collection of anecdotes about him snapping at staff, or withdrawing into himself, perhaps not taking his medication. Try as they might, the folks at New York magazine constructed a molehill, not a mountain.

But why, one wonders, two years after waiving away similar behavior is a liberal news outlet suddenly parading the senator’s alleged diminished capacities? What changed?

Well, the article itself gives us a big hint with this line, "The endless fights over Israel, which saw Fetterman draw further into himself, coincided with setbacks in his recovery regimen."

You don’t say.
And he doesn't think every word out of Trump's mouth demands hissy fits and screaming "HITLER!"?  Well, that's just totally unthinkable.  So get him out.

These leftist clowns may just hate Israel and Jews more than they hate Trump.
