About that event at the Alamo a lot of leftists would prefer be forgotten
2200 hours, D-1, one hundred and seventy-seven years ago General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna ordered that the artillery barrage which had fallen upon the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Bexar for twelve days be halted.
As he suspected, the exhausted defenders soon fell into a deep sleep, for most, the only sleep that they had managed during the course of the siege.
...
189 defenders of the Alamo died this day 177 years ago. They took a full third of the attacking force with them.

"Why don't those people trust is!" moan and whine the Professional Journalists,
when the answer is "Because of what you've done." They won't hear it, but there it is.
Throw in that lots of these bastards have become the worst enemies of the 1st Amendment, and that really adds to it.
Think about that, bloody NPR and a bunch of others saying 'information moves too freely'. Which means "Those peasants get to hear things we don't want them to! And they can check and find out when we're lying, or not telling them the whole story!"
Sorry assholes.

You hate Trump, fine; why the hell would you end a program like this?
Biden’s administration recently cancelled Operation Talon, a Trump administration program aimed at removing convicted sex offenders living in the United States illegally.
“We’re working hard to fight human trafficking and sex crimes in South Carolina and allowing convicted sex offenders who are here illegally to remain in our country makes absolutely no sense,” Wilson said. “These trafficking and sex crimes are repugnant to human decency generally and to children specifically,” he added.
The letter, directed to Joe Biden, the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Acting Director of ICE Tae Johnson, pointed out the problems with this cancellation. The attorneys general argued that canceling Operation Talon could encourage sexual predators to attack.
I'm wondering what idiot among the many around Biden thought this was a good idea, and why.

The short version: Wray is just as full of crap
as Comey, plays the same games, yet so far nobody's actually DONE anything about it.
The short version: Wray revealed nothing. When Grassley asked if there was a "homicide investigation," Wray said there was an "investigation." When Grassley asked if a cause of death had been found, Wray would not say, but made clear he would not tell the Senate in any event.
...<
WHITEHOUSE: Are you going to do any better with the questions that we are getting right now? You have been asked questions for the record. Are they going to go into the same whatever-it-was hole where questions for the record go to die at the FBI?
Backtracking, Wray tried to explain that the FBI's answers have to go through an "elaborate interagency process" before they can be sent to Congress. Whitehouse asked Wray to cite whatever policy requires that process. "I can't cite you the reg or the rule," Wray said. Whitehouse complained that the FBI only answers questions when it sees a political advantage in doing so. Otherwise, "We have run this rigmarole with that interagency process in which we don't get answers."
I've said it before: there needs to be "You WILL answer these questions or there will be contempt charges. And if you think you can't be marched out of that office by Marshalls, you're wrong." And then do it.
Fat chance, right?

He tried some of the .50-70,
and they all went bang, and at short distance shot well with the Lee 450-grain bullet over 61 grains of 2f.
There is now a compression plug to use in the neck expanding die, so we can work up a bit on powder; compressing powder much more than 1/10" or so with the bullet is generally frowned on, and with 61 that's what you get.
More to come.

So why is this asshat so concerned with changing this bit of history?
It's not like this hasn't been known about for a long time, yet
A recent academic journal article by the professor — in which he described as “prostitutes” the Korean and other women forced to serve Japan’s troops — prompted an outcry in South Korea and among scholars in the United States.
And note this bullshit from the Times: ...traumas that the region’s conservative patriarchal cultures had long downplayed.
As I recall, Korea and China and others have raised hell about this bit of history more than once, yet they throw this in? What the hell?

That's one big paw print
Years ago, on a dark December morning, Ron Doctor was driving alone through the snowy hinterlands of the Northwest Territories when he spotted something odd in the thick, fresh snow. He couldn’t get a good look, so he drove home and returned to the scene during his precious four-hour window of subarctic daylight. The second visit confirmed his suspicions: these were giant wolf tracks, 7½ inches long.
Even figuring for a bit of spread, that's big.

Obviously the 'fair' solution
will be to lower the standards. Because, somehow, taking in kids who aren't ready for it will work better.
They don't know how, but they'll be very sure of it. Or they'll just get rid of the advanced classes entirely. For 'Fairness'.

Saturday,
The weather has improved quite a bit, and I've got water back in the house(in a good way), so here's something to deal with the late-night need to do some examination of interesting things.
Damn, these people are bigoted idiots.
“When things are serious, things need to be taken seriously — instead of just being a sheep. You got to look out for your tribe,” Michael Landry, one of the thread’s posters, told The Washington Post. Additionally, Landry told The Post that he and other Adams Morgan residents have remained “vigilant” in recent months, keeping an eye open for out-of-town license plates, bumper stickers conveying conservative messages, and people who aren’t wearing masks.
When faced with the reality of having accused an innocent working man of domestic terrorism, Landry told The Washington Post “I’m actually kind of ashamed of some of the things I said — but I stand my ground on everything I said.”
Effing idiots.

I would like to know how this position was created and this racist asshole hired
in the first place. Talk about schools being child abuse...
A public school system in New York has introduced a new curriculum to teach that 'all white people play a part in perpetuating systemic racism', and show kindergarten classes videos of black children shot and killed by police, instructing them about the dangers of police brutality.
Buffalo's schools are expected to follow lesson plans devised by Fatima Morrell, the associate superintendent for Culturally and Linguistically Responsive Initiatives.
Morrell's lesson plans, obtained by City Journal, teach pupils and their teachers how to be, in her words, more 'woke.'
You really need to read the rest of it. And if the parents in that area know about this and haven't done something to stop it, then they're not worth their kids.

Why people hate the BATFEIEIO so badly
[The ATF] showed up in late August and said basically, “Hey, it’s a machine gun, we’ve deemed it a machine gun.” I said, “What? When did this happen?”
They’re like, “Well we just deemed it a machine gun.”
I was like, “Ok, well where is my paperwork?”
“We don’t have any paperwork.”
“What do you mean you don’t have any paperwork? Is there, like, a report?”
“There is a report, but you can’t have it.”
“Wait a minute, you’re telling me it’s a machine gun, and there’s a report, but I can’t have the report.”
“You would have to go to court in order to get this report.”
Etc. Such a level of bullshit is amazing.
They're apparently counting on saying 'Ignorance of the law is no excuse', except when you make a POINT of not telling people about a 'law' you created out of thin air, that doesn't(damn well shouldn't) work.
Of course, considering what a crapshow an awful lot of courts are anymore, you can't count on it.

Another fine demonstration of why our media is not to be trusted
to give you all the data. See what you can find missing amongst all the ' an incident in July in which a pickup truck pulling a horse trailer drove through Black Lives Matter protesters on Interstate 244 in Tulsa' and 'a 29-year-old man was dragged to his death beneath a tractor-trailer that drove into a sign-carrying group on a road' stuff.
That's right, no mention of 'protesters' trying to break widows to get to the driver and passengers. Often armed 'protesters'. Which you would think is rather important to the story. Because that part they don't want to you to hear about.
Political operatives with bylines. Nothing more.
