And on the sixth night of the week,

there was more imaging to study

There was a Milwaukee judge arrested on child porn charges, who also

sponsored a 'Drag Queen Story Hour'.  Why am I not surprised to find this out?
Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Brett Blomme, who was charged Wednesday with seven counts of possession of child pornography, is a popular and influential figure among elected Democrats in Milwaukee. A very close ally of the city’s longtime mayor, Tom Barrett, Blomme was supported and endorsed by nearly every major Democrat and left-wing group involved in Milwaukee politics when he ran for a seat on the court last year.

“I support Brett because, like me, he is committed to making Milwaukee a better place for all of us,” said U.S. Congressman Gwen Moore when she endorsed Blomme’s judicial run last winter. “Brett is the change we need to help fix our broken criminal justice system.”

Blomme called this a “key endorsement” that helped propel him to a win over incumbent Paul Dedinsky. Blomme was seated on the bench in August and was serving in Children’s Court at the time of his arrest.

It is now time

for the images for review.  

Politicians and leftist activists in uniform

mean a lot of dead troops down the line.  And us screwed.

I wrote to my Senate weasel, Lankford, about his voting to confirm Garland as AG

The response boiled down to "I think he's qualified, he's less radical than other names floated, and I have confidence he will uphold the rule of law."

This after the crap Garland said, and refused to say, in the hearings.  And his open hostility toward the 2nd Amendment.

Throw this on top of voting to allow cops to search someone's internet history without a warrant, and when he spoke about the problems in the last election some group in Tulsa bitched that he'd hurt their feelings and he reversed so fast he probably got whiplash, and his vote to impeach Trump after he was already out of office...

I've heard someone is working to primary Lankford in the next election, and I'm glad.

A gathering of stuff

"But what about the threats found on the internet that you said required fences and razor wire and lots of NG troops?"
"Shut up" she explained.


"How dare you post findings on Wuhan that we don't want to deal with!", essentially.


This, unfortunately, is true:
What really caught my eye, though, was the way commenters responded to the article: they almost universally agreed that the U.S. military could no longer be trusted and that it should instead be viewed as yet another institution successfully co-opted by the Democrats to push “woke” socialism, enforce commie cancel culture, and punish conservatives. Just as James Comey’s spying on the Trump campaign and Robert Mueller’s Democrat-led Russia collusion investigation destroyed the reputations of the FBI and DOJ, and just as John Brennan’s public disinformation and propaganda leaks designed to take down President Trump forever politicized the CIA, now Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s decision to go after and eliminate Trump voters in the military’s ranks has dramatically weakened the public’s trust in the military.


A lot of leftists never heard of Roof Koreans.  And they think that people strong on the 2nd Amendment would hate the idea.
Because to many leftists are bigoted fools.


Rand Paul had some words for Fauci.  Fauci and the usual suspects are outraged.


Surprising no one, State Department Lead Investigator Says Flu Manchu Escaped From Lab

A bunch of teachers and politicians who need to be fired,

and a county prosecutor who needs to go with them.  This REALLY pisses me off.
A group of current and former teachers and others in Loudoun County, Virginia, compiled a lengthy list of parents suspected of disagreeing with school system actions, including its teaching of controversial racial concepts — with a stated purpose in part to “infiltrate,” use “hackers” to silence parents’ communications, and “expose these people publicly.” Members of a 624-member private Facebook group called “Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County” named parents and plotted fundraising and other offline work. Some used pseudonyms, but The Daily Wire has identified them as a who’s who of the affluent jurisdiction outside D.C., including school staff and elected officials.
...
The sheriff’s criminal investigations division is reviewing the matter — but the group’s activities might be no surprise to top law enforcement because the county’s prosecutor, narrowly elected with the help of $845,000 in cash from George Soros, appears to be a member of the Facebook group.

Breakables alert in effect.  There's a lot more, like this from a good party member:
They erred on the side of accusing the innocent. In response to one name Hultman-Lee added, another member asked, “Why is she on this list? I haven’t seen her support anti-CRT?” Hultman-Lee responded, “I put a question mark next to her bc I’m curious about some of her comments re the Dr. Seuss nonsense and racial equity generally. Happy to remove if I’m off the mark.”

“No no, I wouldn’t go so far as to take her off. However, from what I’ve seen she is very carefully neutral,” the parent replied.
Translation from asshole: "She hasn't been positive enough toward our efforts, so she's probably guilty."  Stalin would be proud.

God knows what these shits have done to the kids they've been 'teaching'.

A few links before I fall over

That idiotic phone call between Pelosi and the head of the Joint Chiefs is being subpoenaed.  This should get interesting.


Antifa is made up of sadistic socialist assholes.  In case you didn't already know.


The troops they claim are necessary for their safety in the Capitol are fed rotten and contaminated food, and now this.  A bunch of the higher ranks may be kissing Biden & Co.'s ass, but I suspect the enlisted are not exactly going to be enthusiastic.


A lot of leftists are more willing to use violence to push their political ends.  Surprised?

I suspect, barring a miracle, things are going to get really nasty, probably soon.

I will, though blogging be light, attempt to keep bringing the study stuff in on schedule

Well, it's misty and rainy outside(as noted in the Experiment), though the temperature's good),

and between work, weather, and family situation I won't be hitting the outdoor range for a bit unless things go well, and I just can't think of anything to write about right now.  I've covered a lot of smithing stuff over the years, lots of shooting stuff(which I learned a lot of things thanks to commenters), so intermittent stuff here for a bit.

The ammo situation you probably know about.  One thing from the range:
Manager was asked about .270.  Said "We've got one box, it's(whatever) dollars."
"You're marking it up too much!  I'll wait till near hunting season when prices go down."
I think he did restrain himself from laughing at the guy and his companion who also bitched about the price.  And apparently still have no idea of why the situation is what it is.

I can honestly say the place has held prices to the same profit margin we had before; the prices are higher on most things because they cost us more to get.  Wait 'till they try buying some at the places that've been charging $50 for a box of 9mm, and $75 for a box of .270 or .30-30.

And now it's late, I'm tired, and I've got a movie to watch part of.  More later.

Misty, off & on light rain, and cool out tonight,

So good study weather

Good question

 

"But We are IMPORTANT!"

The Capitol Police, which has been in the spotlight since the Capitol Riot, has over 2,000 sworn officers. Pelosi’s private police force is the 19th largest police force in America.

It’s already larger than the police forces of Atlanta, Baltimore, Denver, and Milwaukee.

While Democrats advocated defunding the police, their private police force budget shot up from $375 million in 2016 to $460 million in 2020. And now it’s demanding even more money.

Speaker Pelosi claimed, “It's going to take more money to protect the Capitol in a way that enables people to come here."

How much money? Who knows.

Surprise anyone that a university would play 'Protect the Religion of Peace' game?

Hindu students at Rutgers University recently introduced a petition asking Rutgers University to take action against South Asian History Professor Audrey Truschke because of “the bigotry being peddled against Hindus via continued derision of our religion, our deities, and our sacred texts.” Truschke, said the petition, “falsely linked Hindus with extremists and white supremacists rioting at Capitol Hill; claimed that the Bhagavad Gita, a central Hindu sacred text, ‘rationalizes mass slaughter’ and violence”; “Whitewashed Hindu genocide by Mughal king Aurangzeb (death toll of 4.6 million)”; and much more. But Rutgers, knowing who the protected victim classes are and who they aren’t, waved away the petitioners by claiming a commitment to “academic freedom.” Sure, and the sun sets in a muddy pool near Los Angeles.

OpIndia reported Tuesday that Rutgers released a statement declaring: “Rutgers emphatically supports Professor Truschke, academic freedom in pursuing her scholarship, abhors the vile messages and threats that are being directed at her, and calls for an immediate end to them.”
Wonder if they had any difficulty deciding which way to go?  Or are they too afraid of offending the radical muslim types to even hesitate?

Truschke is a great defender of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, whom she portrays as a Muslim Gandhi. The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS introduces you to the real Aurangzeb, beyond these ridiculous academic myths, not from the work of “later-day historians,” but in his own words and the words of eyewitnesses to his deeds. Aurangzeb in 1670 issued this decree: “Every idol-house built during the last 10 or 12 years, whether with brick or clay, should be demolished without delay. Also, do not allow the crushed Hindus and despicable infidels to repair their old temples.”
Etc.  Wonderful sort, wasn't he?

The woke left actually loves it some racism,

long as it's the right kind of racism from the right kind of people.
In an indication of what was to come, the founder of the New York Times’ 1619 Project penned a lengthy racist screed attacking all white people in 1995.

Nikole Hannah-Jones, the lead essayist on New York Times Magazine’s 1619 Project, wrote a letter to the editor in Notre Dame’s The Observer stating that “the white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world.”
...
Hannah-Jones claims Africans arrived in North America long before Europeans, but that unlike Europeans, Africans befriended and traded with the indigenous people. She claims pyramids in Mexico are a symbol of said friendship.
This crap, Sarah Jeong(also at the NYeffingTimes), and others.  That's GOOD racism, folks.

Scene from the range

One of the things that happens is people bringing in old/unused ammo and asking us to dispose of it.  Occasionally that includes something like this:
Once upon a time, Daisy decided to try making firearms and one of their ideas was a .22 with caseless ammo

Each box contained ten tubes,

each containing ten rounds consisting of a bullet with a short stick of propellant stuck to the back end.

As I recall, to cock it you worked a lever to compress a spring(like a pellet gun); when you fired the spring drove a piston that forced the air through a tiny aperture to compress and heat it, and that ignited the propellant.

It never caught on.  Neat idea, but the propellant could break loose from the bullet, and it could be pretty vulnerable to moisture.  As I recall this was years before H&K made a real effort to make a working, reliable caseless bullet(bunch of people still are).  Now, it's a curiosity, an idea tried that just didn't work out.

Scene from the range

Time comes i have to leave this job, one thing I will really miss:
Having someone completely new to firearms come in, helping them get started shooting, and seeing that smile when they realize "I can do this!  And I can be GOOD at it!"
