Just a quick bit of clearing, short on time this evening

Further proof that British cops are now nothing more than Janissaries serving their masters

A Jewish lawyer wearing a Star of David was arrested after police alleged the symbol had “antagonised” pro-Palestine protesters.

Police interview footage obtained by The Telegraph shows a detective accusing the Jewish man of openly wearing a Star of David that could cause “offence”.

The suspect, who was handcuffed and detained by police for almost 10 hours, told The Telegraph his arrest appeared to be an attempt by the Metropolitan Police to “criminalise the wearing of a Star of David”.

That's one.  Here's the other, and the fact this happened also demonstrates- again- that the Brit government is full of traitors.  To both Britain and the west.
Ayoub Khan claimed that the Jewish fans posed a threat to other fans, and of course, no official in shattered, staggering dhimmi Britain had the courage to call him out for ignoring the real threat of Islamic jihad, wildly exaggerating a threat from Jewish fans, and engaging in actual apartheid by getting Jews effectively barred from the stadium. There will be much more of this.

Well, that was fun, but it worked

Couple of days ago I made it to the range, and while there, since I wear earplugs and muffs, I put the hearing aids in my pockets.  Same 'make sure they're all the way down there' routine as usual.  I'd finished shooting- wind had picked up a lot so I wasn't going to try the .22 at longer range- and discovered one aid was gone.

And I hadn't been into either pocket for anything.

Yes, moment of combined despair(you know what those cost?) and "HOW THE BLEEP?"  I checked around the bench, to the truck, in the truck, in the bags in case it fell there, and was left with it being somewhere between the bench and the 200 yard targets...

I walked that whole path, nothing.  Then just before the next break when could do it again, I remembered something: I'd noticed once that if you had one in and left the other behind(no, I don't remember why), when you hit a certain distance it gave you a descending scale of tones;  you got close, ascending scale.  So I put the one in and started walking the path, and at about 150 yards I got ascending scale.  Walk and look, then descending scale, so turn around and search again.  Several times of descending/ascending to narrow it down.  Then, about the middle of the distance start moving a little to either side, back and forth, until 'ahHA!'  No I don't know if I said it, I did think it.  Huge relief as I picked it up and put it in.  It'd been 2-3 feet to the side of that pocket(no, I don't know how, I don't know how the hell it came out at all).  There's also that that silver color blended pretty well with the dead grass, which made finding it harder.

I think I'm going to get some kind of pill holder to put them in in the range bag in the future.

First thing when got back to the line went to the family on one side of me and apologized for the delay and told them why, no problem.  Went to the guy on the other side and explained to him, he said "Shit happens" and took off his muffs to show his aids.  "I drop mine all the time."

All's well, etc., but I could have done without that.

The lead candidate for Mayor of NYeffingCity

is sympathetic- at the least- to the people who knocked down the Twin Towers and killed almost 3000 people.

Is encouraging to people who want to kill all the Jews in the world.

Believes in the social system that killed way over 100 million people in the last century.

And thinks American citizens should be forbidden to own guns, but doesn't want Hamas to be disarmed.

Hey, New York, thanks for proving to us you're population- at least that of it that bothers to vote- is made up of idiots, at best.

Well, they've so far avoided causing the "Wipe them out" switch to be thrown,

but Hamas is busy trying to maintain control; I doubt it'll work.  Hopefully enough people in Gaza are sick of their crap to deal with them; especially since I think the Israelis will quietly help them.

Especially if Madam Hoyt is right about any female hostages, 
Unless, of course, Hamass are lying about their being dead and keeping them as sex slaves. I wouldn’t put it past those rumps of swine.
in which case, it's found out, the Israelis will wipe the bastards.  As they deserve.

Meanwhile, in our country, the usual suspects are not happy with the treaty, and are still insisting "Jews committing genocide!" and other bullshit.  Because they can't really make themselves publicly say "Treaty bad, we want more dead Jews!"  Especially the islamist/communist clowns like Mamdani and those other oathbreaking traitors in Congress, who hate this both because Israel still exists and they haven't been able to do more damage to the Republic than they have.

The Democrats are still trying to get piles of money for health care for illegal aliens, including violent criminals.  The Republicans, for once, aren't caving.

The Village Hemorrhoid has a post with several good things, including "Antifa isn't an organization, just an idea!"  "Well, bullshit."   Which you may have noticed that not only politicians but a lot of our 'media' are playing that game, in about the same words.  BRM has something on that.  Screw 'em, one and all.


Over the pond, an example of the people their Prime Minister and other 'elite' traitors are letting take over the country.  This family got bad enough that even the Brits tried them and found them guilty.

Why do I say 'the people' that way?  Because, though the 'news' article has almost been cleansed of such information, there's this:
According to the girl, the abuse started when she was just six-years-old and took place constantly even during important holidays such as Eid.
and
The girl said her mother would take money she was given by other family members as a gift for holidays such as Eid and spend it instead.
That being a muslim holiday it gives the fact away.  I'm surprised they let that through for the commoners to read.

I think it was Limbaugh who called Amanpour a war slut,

and it looks like she's still the same
"... “It's been a terrible, terrible two years for them because not only are they, they're — you know — they're probably being treated better than the average Gazan, because they are the pawns and the chips that Hamas had. Now, Hamas has given up all its leverage, by the way, by giving them all up. So, that is a victory for the Israeli side.”
Yeah.  Hostages beaten, starved, tortured, raped, often murdered, but 'that's better than the average Gazan was treated'.

Pissed off enough people that CNN made her read an apology.  Don't they have such wonderful people?

Yep, go after it

There's no more legal excuse for registering things,  so stop it.
Long story short…the NFA is now very constitutionally vulnerable. Yesterday, four gun rights orgs filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Texas — part of the gun-friendly Fifth Circuit — making exactly that case.

From the American Suppressor Association . . .

Today, The American Suppressor Association (ASA), National Rifle Association (NRA), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced the filing of a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). The case, Jensen v. ATF, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

This complaint asserts that, with the removal of the excise tax on constitutionally protected arms like suppressors and short-barreled rifles, the NFA registration regime can no longer be upheld as a legal exercise of Congress’s taxing power.

The lawsuit also contends that the NFA registry on protected arms constitutes a violation of the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court has ruled that all firearms regulations must be consistent with our nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. According to the plaintiffs, there is no such tradition that supports the NFA’s registration regime.

The plaintiffs in the case include the Texas State Rifle Association, FPC Action Foundation, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Hot Shots Custom LLC, and three individuals.

I've heard that a bunch of dealers have people starting the paperwork now, but not to actually take delivery until after the 1st of January so there'll be  no tax.  Be really nice of it became 'until there's no paperwork more than a 4473 form', but nothing moves through the courts that fast.

How you know the Brit cops are just janissaries now,

and kissing the ass of their masters:
Man arrested for wearing a Union Jack Hat & holding a Sign ‘Save our Kids’ - he even had it mouth duck taped so he couldn’t say anything.

British Gestapo Police are out of control - The Rules of Law now longer apply to anyone from the ‘Wrong’ Political cause.

I admit suprise that Hamas didn't screw it up today,

 either attacking somewhere or "Well, we can't give you all the hostages!"  helped by the NYeffingTimes

I guess the knowledge that Israel was going to not stop this time until they're all dead,  and I suspect there was something along the lines of "We have some very good people here who train to deal with people like you, and if you lie to us or otherwise eff this up, they will take care of you" from Trump, plus the piles of their dead bodies and missing treasure, finally gave enough of them the idea that "It's time to quit."

Not all, of course, there are lots of True Believers in that part of the world who will still be looking for ways to get away with killing Jews; but I think there will be a lot more people willing to pass word along because they're sick of getting their world stomped because of the assholes.

We will see how this goes

About a year ago at work

a guy came out of a bay and said his rifle wouldn't work.  So I went out to take a look, with the information that he'd inherited it and didn't know a thing about it.

It was a Thompson Center muzzleloader, and the first thing I noticed next to the rifle was a small box that he'd poured  most of a pound of black powder into to load from...

No, that's not confidence inspiring.

First, 'Don't do this' and make sure it's back in and the bottle closed.  Then try another cap, no good.  He had no nipple wrench, so finally had to go out to the truck, get a crescent wrench, and get it out.  Well, whoever had last used it, when they finished, and cleaned and oiled it well before putting it away, and the flash passage was full of oil.  Do the best can cleaning the passage, and since could tell there was still stuff in there, use an old trick of getting as much powder as could into the passage, then putting the nipple back in, and then capping and trying.  That worked.  And he had no further trouble the rest of the day.  

Yes, he also got a bit of "How to clean after firing black powder" lesson.

I think I was the only guy working that day who knew anything about black powder arms.  Part of me thought "And I'm your expert, you poor bastard."  But he was happy and had a good day from then on.

No, no brilliant insights tonight,

just some clearing

                                    Yes, I've known some belly dancers, twerking is nothing

                                                                    REAL bad idea, guys

            Considering what son has told me about some of the equipment he uses, I can see this

I was using something I bought a year ago, and thought I probably should mention it

One bad thing about loading black powder cartridges is that almost no powder measure made is considered safe to use with it.  And yes, there are arguments about it, that's the general rule.  That means either getting real good at using a dipper of the right size, or weighing every charge, which can really slow things down.

Enter this measure made by Montana Vintage Arms, specifically intended for black powder to eliminate the plastic parts and possible pinch points that might cause problems.  I'll let their description of how it works cover things.  It comes with all you need, the measure itself, your choice of a hopper to hold 1/4 pound, half pound or one pound of powder, and the adjustable scale.

The big thing is consistency, using the same motions every time, and it will be without plus/minus one tenth of a grain, which in black powder is nothing.  I've read tests people tried where, out of a whole string, they might sometimes be off by 0.2 grain, which, again, is just find with black.  National match shooters might disagree.

I finally managed to talk myself into this thing, and so far it's been great.  It'll run tiny to heavy charges with any granulation; I have read of people using 1f, the coarsest grade, having some problems on occasion, but it's mostly still the 'consistent motions every time' factor.  One thing a bunch of people agreed with was to run the lever twice; it can't double-charge, and it does seem to give a very consistent throw.

Now I just need more time to go out and shoot this stuff, so I can use it more.  Well made, solid equipment.

Go look at the Village Hemmorhoid's 'Political Social Media Posts',

 it includes stuff from the Chicago PD that ought to be evidence in the trial of the people who gave the orders.  Jeez, did they not think about this stuff being available, or were the politicians- in and out of uniform- too stupid to consider it?

Why are so many Democrats such hateful, "I hope people die" bastards?

Jay Jones, the Democratic nominee for attorney general of Virginia, faced condemnation from Republicans and Democrats on Friday after text messages from 2022 resurfaced in which he said he would "piss on graves" of GOP opponents and mused about hypothetically shooting then-Republican Speaker of the House of Delegates Todd Gilbert.

In a text message exchange with Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner, Jones used violent and inflammatory language, writing that if he were presented with a hypothetical situation in which he had only two bullets and was faced with the choice of shooting Gilbert, former Nazi leader Adolf Hitler or former Cambodia dictator Pol Pot, he'd shoot Gilbert "every time," prompting pushback from his former colleague.
CBS doesn't mention it for some reason, he also told someone he'd like for the man's wife to have to watch their children die, because 'it might make them change their policies'.

They clown running as Democrat for Governor has had some problems, let us say, and this makes it worse.

Turns out Jones doesn't like cops, either.

And the blood-dancers of Everytown gave him a bunch of money, and don't want to talk about it.

Wonderful peple all, aren't they?

For some reason the spam filter

marked a bunch of comments as spam.  I think got them all cleared

Yes, one of those times,

so let it begin.
