A belt-fed .22 Gatling gun?

Now that would be fun.  And being a .22, you could afford to feed it, and when not in use it's size would let you use it as a centerpiece at the table.

All those jokes about "The Democrats haven't been this mad since the last time

we took away their slaves"? 

It appears it's a statement of fact.  Or, at the least, these idiots are too dumb to realize what they're saying.

I have no words. My jaw dropped when I saw the post. I know people like Booker lack self-awareness, but still. A black man promoting cheap labor in the fields.

Does anyone around him ever tell him, “This is not a good idea.”

Britain might as well have this,

Germany too

"You are free to speak what we allow you to say."

Screw you, Macron and Starmer and whoever the hell the clown running Germany is.  And all the other little kingdoms who agree with this.

Two weird- well, three- things I've noticed in the aftermath of

The Problem:

1. My hearing is different, everything has a different sound, high-pitched things tend to be worse.

2. I've noticed that some things taste different.  A few drastically so..  Not bad, but different.

3. One eye feels like it has something in it, almost always.

All this coming out about the same time, I figure it's aftereffects.  And I could do without them.

Couple of things on the "Release the Epstein Mess!"

that I ran across the other day.   First one this, and the second is over here.

Short version: this would be releasing the stuff put before the Grand Jury, that was sealed by the judge and - presumably- the swamp critters were unable to edit/delete/lose.

Well, this is something I wouldn't have expected to see

Yes, this is an act of war,

and should be treated as such.

Yes, I know, but this really is a Big EffingDeal, and should be treated as such.

Yes, I forgot to add the link on the Athlon chronograph

It's added, and here it is again.

Widener's has a post on the history of the M16, (they made corrections)

including some photography stuff to go along with it.  Interesting piece.

First, it's not just British politicians who've lost whatever balls they had.

After underage girls were sexually assaulted in the Barbarossabad swimming pool in Gelnhausen, the CDU mayor of the area pointed out that “hot weather” makes tempers “fray.”

However, local Mayor Christian Litzinge (CDU) appeared to allude that the weather is at least partly to blame for the incident.

In a statement to Welt, he said: “Of course, it’s always high temperatures, and sometimes tempers are frayed.”
They'd be real upset, though, if some parent said "It's hot, so tempers frayed, so there's no reason to get all upset because the mayor and the people running the pool were tarred and feathered.  Or horsewhipped."

Second, remember a few days back, the Brit female cop so upset because nobody would help her when attacked?  

I wonder if the cops have thought about what'll happen if the people get tired of being jailed for self-defense and decide the cops are just part of the enemy?

For instance, say the people who stopped this guy all get arrested, and all their friends and family and coworkers decide "Bleep the coppers!" ?  

I think in one or two of his stories Terry Pratchett referred to it as the 'rough music starting to play'.

Oh, this is nice

The lamentations of the enemy should be easy enough to find.

While back talked about the Garmin chronograph, Link fixed

"You have to go to college!" they cry.  Except
“In Aspen, I sat and listened to Larry Fink say we need 500,000 electricians in the next couple of years—not hyperbole.”

“The BlueForge Alliance, who oversees our maritime industrial base—that’s 15,000 individual companies who are collectively charged with building and delivering nuclear-powered subs to the Navy … calls and says, we’re having a hell of a time finding tradespeople. Can you help?”

“I said, I don’t know, man … how many do you need? He says, 140,000.”
...
“The automotive industry needs 80,000 collision repair and technicians.”

“Energy, I don’t even know what the number is, I hear 300,000, I hear 500,000.”

“There is a clear and present freakout going on right now. I’ve heard from six governors in the last six months. I’ve heard from the heads of major companies.”
Sounds like a lot of jobs that don't require you to go into debt to a college.

But you must trust the courts!  They say so!
Federal judge James Boasberg advised Chief Justice John Roberts and some two dozen other judges that his D.C. colleagues were “concern[ed] that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis,” according to a memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist. That Judge Boasberg and his fellow D.C. District Court judges would discuss how a named Defendant in numerous pending lawsuits might respond to an adverse ruling is shocking. Equally outrageous is those judges’ clear disregard for the presumption of regularity — a presumption that requires a court to presume public officials properly discharged their official duties.
...
Donald Trump, however, is not merely the president: He is a Defendant in scores of lawsuits, including multiple cases in the D.C. District Court. As such, this conversation did not concern generic concerns of the judiciary, but specific discussions about a litigant currently before the same judges who expressed concern to the Chief Judge of the D.C. District Court that the Trump Administration would disregard the court’s orders.

Judge Boasberg’s comments reveal he and his colleagues hold an anti-Trump bias, for the Trump Administration had complied with every court order to date (and since for that matter). The D.C. District Court judges’ “concern” also went counter to the normal presumption courts hold — one that presumes public officials properly discharged their official duties. Apparently, that presumption does not apply to the current president, at least if you are litigating in D.C.

And what is both troubling and ironic is that only a few days later, Judge Boasberg, in a case in which he completely lacked jurisdiction, as the Supreme Court would later confirm, entered a lawless order commanding the Trump Administration to halt removals to El Salvador. So, one of the judges concerned about Trump following the law, ignored the law. Nonetheless, Judge Boasberg would later find “the Trump Administration committed criminal contempt of court” by failing to turn the planes around or fly the gang members back to the U.S., even though the court’s written (and unlawful) injunction ordered neither.
Sounds to me like the Chief Justice needs to have some words with some judges.  Or else, sooner or later, face up to actions to get rid of some of those judges, the idea of which seems to horrify him so.

Well, the Mayor of LA is a communist, and the Governor is Gov. HairGel, and you actually expected them to give a damn about you?

This covers it

It’s actually not that difficult to get your head around if you remember one simple, overriding factor. To the leftists, there is no white culture. It doesn’t matter what country you’re in; your country is the problem, and anything associated with it isn’t part of any diversity measure.

It doesn’t matter if you’re wearing a Union Jack, the Welsh flag, or St Georges Flag, these are all British flags and, as such, represent the oppressor culture…that’s been there for millennia.

Here, we’re the oppressors because we came here from afar and set up shop.

There, they’re the oppressors because they aren’t handing over the country to those who have come from afar and set up shop.

The only unifying idea here is that white people are to be shut out.
Think of British cops telling people they're not allowed to wave a British flag while 'protesters' wave Hamas and Palestinian flags.  And that making noise about rape gangs made up primarily of muslims is 'racist' and you can go got jail for it.

Someone over there, ask the cops how they like being janissaries for the conquerors.

I hadn't heard of multi-focal lens implants

for cataract surgery, so I hadn't heard about the cost.  Give this a few more years of development and who knows how good they'll be?  

We're going to find out.  And how much they'll cost then.

If you're one of those people who doesn't understand why the BATFEIEIO is so hated,

Consider:
Lying under oath
Falsifying evidence
Lying under oath some more

Putting an innocent man in prison(lucky for him they didn't kill him)

And knowing that they'll never be held to account for any of it.

Isn't that simple?

Can you say 'These pardons are not valid' and 'These people probably belong in a cell'?

More on this here

I did a little reading I'd somehow missed before, and found

why that Grail Gun of mine is so hard to find as I'd like it:
Also known as "K-32" until 1957. Identical in appearance to the Model 14, except chambered for .32 S&W. Model 16 did not enjoy the commercial popularity like the Model 14 and was dropped from the line in 1973. Only 3,630 K-32s/Model 16s were sold between 1947-1973. Reintroduced in 1990 in .32 Magnum; discontinued 1993. Note: Add 25% for 1946-1957 production (no Model 16 marking). Four engineering changes.

Damn.  

Brit female cop gets jumped in a parking garage,

and doesn't understand why nobody helped her, just yelled things and took video.

It's because everyone there knows that if they do help you, they stand a fair chance of going to jail because modern Britain, including the cops, hate people defending themselves.   And if your attacker was, let's say a culture-enriching migrant type, they KNOW they'd probably wind up in jail if they jumped on them to save you.

One of the terms is 'reaping what you sow'.

And now that the 'what' has been cleared a bit,

some more clearing can be done
