I predict that we will see the following narrative develop, and further, that it will develop whether Biden stays in the office and on the ticket, or not. The narrative will be: that Kamala Harris has been acting as President all along, so it doesn’t really matter what kind of shape Joe Biden is in. If he stays in, nothing changes by re-electing him. If he leaves, we should elevate Harris to ensure that nothing changes by electing her to her own term.

Ah, Californicated, you never fail to disappoint
Currently, buying or soliciting sex from a minor is a misdemeanor, up to a year in jail and a $10k fine. which is pretty damned lenient. Law is being pushed to make it a felony, with sex offender registration and all, And then,
True to form, they said that "this bill will disproportionately impact marginalized communities, especially members of the LGBTQ community, who already suffer from systematic biases within the criminal justice system, particularly when it comes to sexually-based offenses."
Apparently, in their minds, lots of the LGBetc. community, are child molesters, and treating them as such would be bad.

Think about that: these idiots think a really serious penalty for BUYING A KID FOR SEX is bad...
Then they throw in
Somehow, another speaker threw racism in there, claiming that "under California law, defendants could face years or even decades in prison for sexual violence committed against minors."
All in chorus now: THAT IS THE IDEA, YOU MORONS.
Let's see... first "Actually punishing people for raping kids will disproportionately harm this group!", which is them saying "This group likes to rape kids." Which, were I homosexual, I'd rather object to. Then, 'Actually punishing people for this could put them in prison for years!" is an objection to punishing people for raping kids....
Californicated us run by idiots and socialists(certain amount of overlap there), and moral assholes. And some Democrats want the governor in charge of it to be President.
Oh HELL no.

For several years I didn't plant a garden
Between some medical work and Dad going downhill, then all the stuff after his death, it just wasn't worth it. This year decided to plant a few things.
So two Arkansas Traveler tomatoes, two cherry tomatoes, two bell peppers, and some squash seed were bought and planted, finding a small extra in one of the cherry pots making that three, and they all took off.
The squash did nicely for a while, then died like the last few times. The peppers get about 1/3 size and then either fall off or something is pulling them off. The tomatoes, though... they're producing like none I've ever had before. They're all covered, I have piles of the things and yes, I've been giving some away. Damn things are good, too. I need to harvest more, but the ground is so soft after the rains the last couple of days that they'll have to wait till tomorrow.
Dad always preferred the Arkansas Travelers, they're meaty and taste very good. As some of those are ripening there will be BLTs on the menu. So I need to get more bacon.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to dine. Not only a long day, but I've finally been able to start some half-assed workouts again, and I'm tired and hungry.

Also adding to the "Why don't you trust .gov agencies?" is this
climate hysteria prediction group, which also involves "Don't trust the media":
NOAA’s prediction is heavily predicated on computer climate models that assume a huge acceleration in sea level rate of rise over the next 75 years.
In particular, NOAA’s Sea Level Rise Viewer, upon which the prediction is based, relies on estimates and models used in 2007.
These estimates are woefully outdated, and with the new generation of models now in use, the old estimates used by CBS don’t accurately represent the future of the current best projections. The predictions CBS cites are shown in Figure 1.

Brought to Chicago by a string of idiot socialist mayors:
Seventeen people have been killed and at least 83 wounded during shootings in Chicago over the extended Fourth of July weekend.
By the end of Friday, the tally of shootings — six people shot Thursday and 62 shot Friday, 12 killed over both days — surpassed the numbers for last year’s entire holiday weekend. Last year, 11 people were killed and 62 wounded over the holiday weekend, which stretched over four days, July 1-4.
This year’s holiday violence includes four mass shootings. In all, 24 people were shot, four fatally, in the mass attacks.
And this is just the latest in the string of disasters known as 'a Chicago holiday weekend'.
In a city which has all the Watts- and Biden-approved gun laws, and often lets violent offenders loose on low or no bail with an ankle bracelet. Because keeping them in jail would be mean.
They always shriek that the problem is because surrounding states don't have the same gun-control laws, but those surrounding states, for some reason, don't have the same crime rates. For some reason.
Also noted somewhere the other day, the billions of tax income the city has lost because people are getting the hell out of the craphole Chicago has been made into.

My Saturday began with the truck making that rattley sound
a vehicle makes when the battery doesn't have enough power to actually try starting. Which, since I was going to work, was extra not fun.
Son was free, so was able to give me a ride, and a new battery was procured and installed. Only about an hour late to work, too.
And it happened in the driveway, not in the parking lot at work or crapping out while I was driving. So could've been worse.

The timing: when last changed oil they'd tested it and said "It's on the low end of 'good' range, so you really ought to change it soon." And the day before, while getting to sleep, I'd thought "Next week I need to go ahead and get a new one."
It lasted five years, not bad for a battery around here.

There's a name for these people: the enemy
My Capitol office was vandalized yesterday in a vile act of hate in which the posters of the more than 100 people still held hostage in Gaza (including 8 Americans) were ripped from the wall, shredded and tossed across the hallway. pic.twitter.com/zSh86mdvIX
— Rep. Brad Schneider (@RepSchneider) July 5, 2024Hey, guy, your party has been encouraging these asshats for a long time. And I'll bet none of them go to jail for this. Also encouraged by your party.
And then we have these assholes, on our Independence Day, carrying terrorist flags and calling for death to America. And I wonder how many of them are here illegally? And know nothing will happen to them, no matter what they do?

Call me crazy, but I think that the UN warning of an epidemic of aid workers sexually abusing women in Gaza is a PRETTY BIG DEAL.
From an April report:
Humanitarian actors must scale up their PSEA [Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse] and Safeguarding capacity to prevent an epidemic of SEA abuses committed by personnel related to humanitarian operations. This should be also seconded by programmatic actions to protect the most vulnerable from sexual exploitation and abuse by aid workers but also other actors.
I had previously quoted another UN report from May that some women in Gaza prefer to go without food rather than subject themselves to sexual abuse while queuing for aid; and that aid workers were forcing some women into prostitution in exchange for aid.
Insufficient and unreliable aid, distributed under conditions of insecurity that do not allow adequate targeting, expose vulnerable groups to violence, exploitation and abuse, trafficking and forced prostitution, including by aid workers.
Somehow, this didn't make it into the @NYTimes or @CNN or @Reuters.
Completely unfounded Hamas lies about the IDF abusing women get quoted in news articles without evidence, but multiple UN reports confirming actual sexual abuse by the people who are meant to help Gazans are ignored. (And this sexual abuse by aid workers has been going on for years, evidenced by hotlines and advertising in Gaza to report such abuse.)
Major media has reported on sexual abuse by UN members in the CAR, DRC, and Haiti, among other places. But not a word about Gaza, even when it has dominated headlines for nine months.
The news media aren't merely biased. They actively work to quash stories that don't fit their narratives and goals.

It's funny as hell watching every media weenie who spent the last years
calling anyone pointing out Biden's mental deterioration a Russian dupe, a liar, a conspiracy nut, etc., now trying to follow their marching orders- the new ones- and get Biden to go away. Preferably with Harris.
And no, they don't seem to care what hypocrites they've shown themselves to be, or what liars, you're supposed to forget everything before NOW and keep believing and trusting them.
And now we have the current excuse: "It doesn't matter if it's actually his staff running the country, when we elected Biden we elected his staff, too!"
Which is utter, rotted, stinking bullshit.
This is the conspirators(what else would you call them?) trying to make excuses so as to not actually answer the question "WHO IS ACTUALLY RUNNING THINGS?"
This shit really needs cleaning out. REAL cleaning out, this garbage has to stop. And if our Professional Journalists are so in the tank they can't even ask the damn questions, they need to go, too.
After all, they're basically on his staff too.

I have a question
The tragedy occurred around 8:30 p.m. at Humphrey Double H Farms Enterprises Inc. in Carrollton when an unidentified shopper who was viewing a firearm began “manipulating it,” state troopers said Monday.
Either someone left a round in the thing, or this 'manipulating' involved dumbass putting a round in(maybe thinking it was a snap cap?).
Either someone left a round in the thing, or this 'manipulating' involved dumbass putting a round in(maybe thinking it was a snap cap?).
Either way, someone is dead because dumbass.
It may be the time has come again
It may not get much publicity, but there it is, smack-dab in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution: Congress has the power to grant citizens “letters of marque and reprisal.” Meaning that, with Congress’s permission, private citizens can load weapons onto their fishing boats, head out to the high seas, capture enemy vessels, and keep the booty. Back in the day, these patriotic pirates were known as “privateers.”
At the start of the Revolutionary War, America had a meager navy, so we had to rely on these privateers, who captured nearly two thousand British vessels and confiscated vast amounts of food, uniforms, weapons, and barrels of sherry. They included Jonathan Haraden, who captained several vessels, including the delightfully named Tyrannicide. He once fought three British ships at once off the coast of New Jersey—and captured all of them.
The Founding Fathers were big fans of privateers. Late in life, John Adams wrote glowingly about the 1775 Massachusetts law that first legalized them, calling it “one of the most important documents in history. The Declaration of Independence is a brimborion in comparison with it.” You read that right: in Adams’ opinion, a law authorizing patriotic piracy is much more important than that trifling tidbit about “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
Yes, he's applied for a letter. We'll see how that goes.

This will annoy hell out of the first immigrant activists,
as they consider this idea to be virtually hate speech.
Now a new study on the decline of giant herbivorous mammals – megaherbivores – points a finger at humanity.
Fossils show that, 50,000 years ago, there were at least 57 species of megaherbivore. Today, just 11 remain. They include notable behemoths such as hippos and giraffes, as well as several species of rhino and elephant, many of which continue to dwindle.
Such a dramatic decline, researchers say, is inconsistent with climate change as the sole cause.

The Northumbria cops and the 'counter-terrorism' assholes of (formerly Great)Britain
demonstrate, once again, what chickenshits they are. And how good it is that some of our ancestors told the King to go screw himself.
Because screwing with a 12 year old Jewish kid and his family because he said unapproved words and has a toy crossbow is SO much safer and easier than actually, y'know, GOING AFTER TERRORISTS.
Holy shit, these people are useless.

if the upward trend of 'Screw Taylor Swift' articles might in part be because people are sick of another performer's private life being reported as 'news'?

No, I did not know that about vultures
What is truly amazing about vultures, however, is the way they are designed to ensure they can perform this cleansing process without it resulting in great harm to them. Did you know, for example, that the acid in the vulture’s gizzard is the strongest of any animal in the world?
The vulture’s gizzard acid is even more corrosive than the acid in the battery of your car or truck. Even more amazing is the fact the vulture’s gizzard acid destroys such deadly pathogens as Anthrax, Tuberculosis, Botulism and Cholera.
I knew about the cleanup duties, but not about this

While we're hearing "UNPRECEDENTED!" and other such crap about the weather being hot(in late June
and the start of July),
Where I used to work it was a 24/7 operation. When I'd been working evenings this time of year, when it got hotter than average, you'd get off around midnight; it'd be in the upper 80's, sometimes low 90's when really bad, and the humidity so high you half expected to see small frogs kicking past you. Lord, that's miserable. And usually very little wind at those times, , which made it worse.
So when the Usual Suspects start bitching about the evils of air conditioning and how we were better off without it and would be now, I want to pick up something long and heavy and beat them with it.

A good explanation of what those two Supremes rulings mean
for gun owners. Very short version, ATF is among a bunch of federal agencies that just had their "We wrote a new rule for you to obey" powers cut off.
And, of course, there’s ATF’s practice of seeking to fine FFL’s through its own internal administrative proceedings for alleged violations of ATF rules would now seem to be barred under Jarkesy. ATF will be required to file a civil lawsuit or a criminal indictment…which I suspect it will be far less likely to do.
What of ATF’s current jihad against FFLs, in which it seeks to terminate federal licenses based on even the slightest technical mistakes? That could be a tougher call, as the issuance of licenses may fall under the “public rights” aspect of the law that doesn’t implicate the Seventh Amendment. We’ll have to see how the post-Jarkesy case law shakes out.
In a post-Jarkesy communication with Prof. Hamburger, he told me that he expects the feds will try to take a very narrow view of the Court’s opinions, and more fights will undoubtedly be needed. Fortunately, the NCLA has already set up a “Relentless Working Group” which is tasked with monitoring and identifying agencies that are resisting the Supreme Court’s holdings, and they’ll bring test cases where appropriate. The administrative state is down, but it’s by no means out.

Widener's blog has a post on Federal .22 ammo
here. I can't speak to all of it, there being several of these I've not fired. Of those I have, I can say this:
They've all gone bang, they've all been at least reasonably accurate for me*, and on the Federal Champion...
I used to own a BSA Martini 12/15 match rifle. Over time I tried a number of brands in it, and splurged on three or four different boxes of match ammo to try, and the best groupings in it came from Federal Champion(Eley Sport being a very close second). I actually got groups at or a little less than 1.25" from it at 100 yards when the wind was down and I did my part. Wonderful stuff. Apparently that rifle had odd taste for a match rifle, but I loved it. Kind of wish I still had it.
*'for me' because, despite some of my stories, I'm not going to give Jerry Miculek any sleepless nights.

There was a case before the Supremes, and the ruling was basically 'Right to trial by jury
still stands.' Which has a lot of the left in serious upset(which tells you the decision was good). As Mr. Correia put it:
Speaking of the left panicking, the debate last night apparently really did it:
I admit that was good news to wake up to. Or, as the Paper of Record put it

Someone pointed to this "Why Biden won't quit",
and I can find no fault in it. For those who can't/won't go to X, I'm copying the text:
I've posted this before, apparently it's an unpopular opinion because I keep seeing tons of conservatives post that Biden will be replaced before the election.
I don't think there is any chance in the world that Biden will be replaced. He is far and away the best at giving democrat voters what they need.
Biden lies. And he performs his lies on a level that not even AOC or Newsom could ever possibly dream of doing. He hits the whisper and hits the angry yell every single time. He creates the straw man and passionately knocks it down. "They are going to end social security but I won't let it happen. I will always be here for you." He accuses Republicans of doing exactly what he and his party is doing and he doesn't ever flinch.
Only Biden could spend 2020 campaigning on opening the border, on not deporting anyone, spend three years ignoring the problem, and then spend this year blaming it on Trump. That is not as easy to do as people think. Only Biden could look into the camera and claim that inflation was at 9% when he took office. The average sleazy politician can't do what Biden does. Even the worst politicians have some limits.
"I've never discussed business with my son." This is so ridiculous it's hard to describe. He flew to China and to Ukraine with his son. The same guy who claimed that he talked to his son every day about every little thing claims he never discussed business with his son on their 18 hour flights. Biden never backed down on this lie. Biden even claimed that he learned about Hunter joining Burisma via the newspaper. Think about that.
Only Joe Biden could have his DOJ investigate Trump and then have the nerve to claim "I had nothing to do with it because I'm honest." Who would say that? Most politicians care about how things appear. Biden could not care less. He didn't care when he was representing the credit card company that was paying his son. He doesn't care how things look. Only Biden could write the 94 Crime Bill and turn around and claim he opposed mandatory minimums, even going as far to claim that he got into politics because of civil rights. Biden is willing to say whatever his audience wants him to say. It doesn't matter how far fetched the lie is, Biden will say it. And he will perform the hell out of it.
The only politician alive with close to Biden's ability to passionately and shamelessly lie like him is Nancy Pelosi. These two are world class, miles ahead of other democrats. The best to ever do it.
Biden has one speech. On his death bed he could still give this speech and it would emotionally move democrats. He lies about his son's death for goodness sake. What other politician alive would do that? Only Biden could run on "uniting the country" and then turn around and give prime time speeches on how his political rivals are existential threats, claiming it's all in the name of unifying the country. There are no rules with Biden. It's all a game to him. It's just a game. He will say anything at anytime, he doesn't give a damn about what he said yesterday. He brought the press to his kid's hospital beds in 1972. Brain dead or not, this guy is on a whole different level. Biden based his entire 2020 campaign on a hoax. And he performed the Fine People Hoax every single day for a year and a half, knowing it was all BS. He forced himself to cry for George Floyd, multiple times. Newsom and the other young democrats can't hold a candle to Biden, even if his brain is half fried.
Biden will win the debate because the media has already decided he will win the debate. He will accuse Trump of doing everything that he is doing. The media are democrats and Biden gives them what they need. He will say nothing new. He will perform the same ridiculous lies with passion and the media will praise him for it. And if he is President four years from now they will wheel him out and he will give the same exact SOTU speech he has given the past two years, word for word, and democrats will love him for it. He has zero conscience, there is nothing there. Don't underestimate that, it's more rare than people think. Biden is the best to ever do what he does.

Most politicians care about how things appear. Biden could not care less. He didn't care when he was representing the credit card company that was paying his son. He doesn't care how things look. Only Biden could write the 94 Crime Bill and turn around and claim he opposed mandatory minimums, even going as far to claim that he got into politics because of civil rights. Biden is willing to say whatever his audience wants him to say. It doesn't matter how far fetched the lie is, Biden will say it. And he will perform the hell out of it.
The only politician alive with close to Biden's ability to passionately and shamelessly lie like him is Nancy Pelosi. These two are world class, miles ahead of other democrats. The best to ever do it.
Biden has one speech. On his death bed he could still give this speech and it would emotionally move democrats. He lies about his son's death for goodness sake. What other politician alive would do that? Only Biden could run on "uniting the country" and then turn around and give prime time speeches on how his political rivals are existential threats, claiming it's all in the name of unifying the country. There are no rules with Biden. It's all a game to him. It's just a game. He will say anything at anytime, he doesn't give a damn about what he said yesterday. He brought the press to his kid's hospital beds in 1972. Brain dead or not, this guy is on a whole different level. Biden based his entire 2020 campaign on a hoax. And he performed the Fine People Hoax every single day for a year and a half, knowing it was all BS. He forced himself to cry for George Floyd, multiple times. Newsom and the other young democrats can't hold a candle to Biden, even if his brain is half fried.
Biden will win the debate because the media has already decided he will win the debate. He will accuse Trump of doing everything that he is doing. The media are democrats and Biden gives them what they need. He will say nothing new. He will perform the same ridiculous lies with passion and the media will praise him for it. And if he is President four years from now they will wheel him out and he will give the same exact SOTU speech he has given the past two years, word for word, and democrats will love him for it. He has zero conscience, there is nothing there. Don't underestimate that, it's more rare than people think. Biden is the best to ever do what he does.
Ok, it was Insty that pointed to it, here's the link

Meanwhile, from the leftists running things here,
The Department of Homeland Security has identified over 400 immigrants who have come to the U.S. from Central Asia and elsewhere as “subjects of concern” because they were brought by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network, three U.S. officials tell NBC News.
While over 150 of them have been arrested, the whereabouts of over 50 remain unknown, the officials said, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement is looking to arrest them on immigration charges when they are located.
“In this case, it was the information that suggested a potential tie to ISIS because of some of the individuals involved in [smuggling migrants to the border] that led us to want to take extra care,” said a senior Biden administration official, “and out of an abundance of caution make sure that we exercised our authority in the most expansive and appropriate way to mitigate risk because of this potential connection being made.”
'Extra care' and 'an abundance of caution' would have involved stopping them from coming over our damned border. That would also have involved 'excercising your authority in the most expansive and appropriate way', but they couldn't do that.
I wonder how much blood and crime these people- I mean the ones in charge- are actually responsible for, all the stuff we don't know about. And they'll never pay a price for any of it.

Another 'they came from abroad' gang rape,
which went the usual way it does in Europe anymore:
Eight of the nine rapists of a 15-year-old will not serve any time in person. They received suspended sentences, instead. The ninth man was sentenced to less than three years in prison — for the two-hour-long gang rape of a teenage girl — and all must perform 60 hours of community service. What a joke. The tenth was acquitted.
And now we have the added stupidity:
Another German woman, a 20-year-old whose name has not been released, somehow found on Snapchat the phone number of one of the men who received a suspended sentence. She then contacted him on WhatsApp, where she called him a "dishonorable rapist pig" and a "disgusting miscarriage."
...
But the woman's WhatsApp "assault" was too much for German authorities, who arrested her for making "insulting" remarks to the immigrant. She'll serve three days beginning on Friday in the Hahnöfersand youth detention center — a sentence three days longer than the rapist she insulted.
Ain't being ruled by fine members of the leftist upper class wonderful?
Added: Yes, the cops and various others are not leftist upper class, but the chiefs and some sheriffs? Lots of politicians and agency heads? Yes, they are. If the DA/prosecutors won't prosecute, and officers know pointing out these are not intersectional victims, they're freaking TERRORISTS and the enemy will get them labeled 'problems' at best, 'racist/fill in the blank' at most and their job threatened, their enthusiasm for doing their damned job will go downhill.
Look at what happened with the Brits and the muslim rape/slavery gangs, various cops and social workers knew what was going on 'But I'll be called a racist if I raise attention on this!" kept them quiet. Yeah, probably lousy cops in other ways, too.

I remember when these bastards got caught; most media wanted little to nothing to do
with the case. Now they STILL haven't been tried? And their lawyer is playing games, even after his earlier demand for exact dates led to this?
At this time, they were discussing whether or not to seek a re-indictment of the criminal charges with more counts added on after the defense's request for specific dates sparked a forensic investigation into the surveillance system that the Zulocks had installed in the interior of their home.
A formidable four terabytes of data, which investigators are continuing to comb through, was extracted from the 16 security cameras stationed all over the house in every single room. The cameras were recording 24 hours a day, seven days a week, capturing everything, including the sexual assaults. "They are all on video filmed throughout multiple rooms in the house," the prosecution says.
So, the prosecution can now specify "hundreds of allegations," matching the metadata to timeframes, as the defense unwittingly welcomed.
But wait! There's MORE!
Majors clarified that the charges, as they stand, stem from child pornographic photographs and videos—taken primarily on Zachary's iPhone—that are presently in the DA's possession. A folder, labeled "US," was allegedly found on Zachary's cell phone containing videos of William sexually abusing their one son.
And they were pimping the kids out, too...
This is one of those cases that 'cruel and unusual punishment' sounds like it might be the right thing.

It being that time of year, I'm going to repost that electrolyte mix
2 quarts water
6 tablespoons honey powder (you can use honey, but honey powder is a bit easier to mix)
2 teaspoons Himalayan pink sea salt
2/3 cup lemon juice (if you prefer another citrus juice, you can use it instead)
1/2 teaspoon orange extract (for flavor; without it, the taste is fairly blah)
That's the original. Over time I changed a couple of things:
The sea salt has some other minerals in, I'm told, but plain salt seems to work. And you can do something else: use half salt, and half Morton Lite Salt, which is half potassium.
I'm only using 3 tablespoons of honey, seems to be plenty.
Can also use orange juice or lime juice, big factor is some type of citrus.

Yesterday went from hot & fairly humid with a 'slight chance' of thunderstorms
that night, to 50% as it was building, to 60% as it was moving this way. The really nasty part missed my area, but it did give us some needed rain.
Which brings me again to the weather and news weenies almost shrieking about the heat as if it'd never been pretty hot in late June before. Jeez.
It is hot out there, and after the rain even more humid, so I'm going to try to keep to indoor activities today, and the garden's too wet to till. And, despite what I said the other day, I did hit the range yesterday so that's out of the way. Not successfully on one thing, because while testing loads I noticed a increase in group size as I went along, and found the front mount screw was loose. So no more testing on that. The other shooting was good, though less than usual, as it getting hot enough as it approached noon(it's near a river bottom area so you can imagine the humidity) that I was very glad I only brought two boomsticks.
I will note a guy who showed up not long before I left. He unloaded a 1903A3 Springfield, some ammo, and proceeded to- offhand with sling- hit the 200 yard gong regularly, and when done packed up and went. I think he lives nearby, making "I'll just go ring steel for a few rounds" possible.

There were a couple of loads that, despite the problem, looked promising, so I'll have some loading to do.
Borrowing from a guy on the current French situation
All this, however, takes place in an environment in which the Brits seem most likely to be about to commit national hara-kiri themselves, by tossing out (on, ironically, July 4) their own Stupid Party (the not-so-Conservatives) and replacing them with the reliably-Communist Labour Party. But I digress.
Back to the French: the 1789 Revolution took place against a political and social order which was manifestly unjust and in many cases actually malevolent, wherein an unelected power elite (the Royalty and Church) ran the country at the expense of ordinary people.
And finally: after our Revolution, we didn’t hack off the heads of the deposed ruling class, but the Frogs sure as hell did.
So maybe Macron and his lizard people have a right to be fearful.
Taylor Lorenz: not just a hypocritical asshat journalist,
she pushes crap like this:
Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz on Monday pushed a false claim that a Los Angeles synagogue was auctioning off Palestinian land this week—a conspiracy theory that led to violent, anti-Semitic protests outside the Jewish house of worship on Sunday.
Lorenz—who covers social media for the Post and often complains about being targeted by online harassment—reposted multiple comments on X, formerly Twitter, defending the synagogue protesters, promoting the false allegations, and slamming the media, including her former employer, the New York Times, for failing to give the allegations oxygen. The synagogue was in fact hosting an industry expo on real estate investing in Israel, and the false claims that Adas Torah was selling Palestinian land appear to have originated from radical anti-Israel groups, including Code Pink and the Palestinian Youth Movement, according to social media posts.
...
In a separate incident this week, Lorenz also defended former Bernie Sanders spokeswoman Briahna Joy Gray’s remarks that the media should report on "Israel training dogs to rape Palestinian prisoners," another unsubstantiated conspiracy theory.
Lorenz said this was a "claim that’s being reported all over X," and Gray was "just asking if any U.S. papers have investigated the claims."
"It’s not like she’s asking about some random thing, it’s been a major topic of discussion on X all day."
Ah yes, that's some major research she did.
And yes, the colors and embedding links works again.

The army admitted the link between Stancik’s heart problems and the COVID vaccine.
“Research has confirmed a link between a COVID-19 infection and a debilitating heart condition called POTS, or postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, that has been diagnosed in some patients,” according to an army memo.
“POTS was also linked, to a lesser degree, to COVID-19 vaccination with an mRNA vaccine, according to a new study,” it also stated.
...
US JAG defends the rights of injured service members.
“Her case is representative of hundreds, possibly thousands of other vaccine injury cases, but moreover, it’s very indicative of the systemic problem of the Department of Defense abandoning injured service members. Vaccine injuries are also very political and the leadership in the Defense Department did not want to address that and still does not want to address that maybe we hurt our own people,” said US JAG veteran advocate Jeremy Sorenson.
The army memo also said that Stancik’s heart problems occurred in the line of duty.

Ah, that wonderful impartial journalist Jake Tapper
You may not have heard about it yet, but the Florida First District Court of Appeals recently ruled that plaintiff Zachary Young can pursue punitive damages, along with economic and emotional damages, in a civil trial against CNN. According to Newsbusters, the total damages sought could approach or exceed $1 billion because of Tapper's comments defaming Young's efforts to aid individuals in Afghanistan during the botched withdrawal in 2021.
https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/06/25/jake-tapper-could-cost-cnn-1-billion-in-defamation-suit-n4930120For that outcome to be remotely in the cards, Young needed to prove malice and according to the ruling, he’s done exactly that. “Young sufficiently proffered evidence of actual malice, express malice, and a level of conduct outrageous enough to open the door for him to seek punitive damages,” Judge L. Clayton Roberts wrote in the court’s ruling.
The court felt the high bars for actual and expressed malice were met because of internal CNN messages that were extremely vicious toward Young. Correspondent Alex Marquardt, the “primary reporter” expressed in a message to a colleague that he wanted to “nail this Zachary Young mfucker” and thought the story would be Young’s “funeral.” On that declaration of wanting to “nail” Young, CNN editor Matthew Philips responded: “gonna hold you to that cowboy!”
Alongside Marquardt, CNN senior editor Fuzz Hogan, who’s a member of CNN’s internally lauded “Triad” of editorial, legal, and standards/practices oversight personnel, described Young as “a shit.”
In an interview with NewsBusters, Vel Freedman, the lawyer representing Young, said that “everyone makes mistakes” but what CNN’s messages showed was a “systemic problem” inside the network. He added that their internal mechanism for accountability had “clearly failed” and opened themselves to “massive, massive liability.”
And from the sound of it, I hope he gets the ears, tail, and whatever testicles were remaining.
Decisions, decisions...
Outdoor range. Want to go. Hot today(still), with a bit more wind than I like for trying loads. Maybe a couple of degrees hotter tomorrow but lower winds. So, if I go, it'll be tomorrow. Long as I have some shade and plenty to drink should be good. Uncomfortable, but good.
Speaking of weather: the news and weather weenies have been having conniptions the last couple of weeks, you'd swear they didn't know it's most always hot in late June. I don't know if they're deliberately trying to scare people for some reason* or just being dumb.
*Yes, it may be connected to 'Globular Warmering!', who knows? They do, and they're not telling.

Once upon a time a company known as Old Spice
made some products many people used. And then they decided to branch out, and I think there's the problem.
I used to use their Original Scent body wash, for instance. For years. And then it disappeared. Then the Original Scent High Endurance Deodorant went away. Coincidentally at the same time the 'husbands and wives arguing over who gets to use the Old Spice' got going. So it appears that, while trying to appeal to ladies, they decided to dump that 'Original Scent' stuff.
Mind you, they've got a bloody pile of new scents with idiot names, so why get rid of the original? Maybe someone decided their Desired Demographic wasn't into that aroma, or it had connection to old tough guy images(sailors, loggers, etc.) Corporate didn't approve of anymore.
I looked at the company page on Book of Face, and some people did bring up "Why's my favorite gone?", and the response(as I recall, a couple of months ago) was basically "Well, things change, so we had to change, enjoy the new stuff!"
Which makes me wonder how that "Get us a new demographic!" stuff is going. Personally, I hope it bites them in the ass.

Ramos had been detained by border patrol agents near El Paso on May 28 and Martinez had been detained near the same city on March 14, the spokesperson said. The Venezuelan nationals were then released on an orders of recognizance with notices to appear in court at a later date.

This, possible Medicaid fraud, and the EffingBI
intimidating people. Ain't it wonderful?
Sivadge also saw that many patients had underlying issues, including past suicide attempts, autism diagnoses, depression and anxiety. She felt these issues were being dismissed in the name of prescribing hormones and other forms of transgender care.
“Many of them had previous ER visits for attempted suicide, many of them are autistic, many of them are depressed and anxious, and that’s really devastating because it’s really clear there’s something else going on in addition to having confusion about their sexual identity,” she said.
“That just really devastated me.”

I promised, here's what I had a chance to try: the Garmin Xero C1
Make sure the range is cold.
Take the Chrony, which I'd already put on a camera tripod and put the sunshades on if needed, and take it out ten feet from the muzzle(approximately).
Align it with the bore.
Go back to the rifle and look through the sights.
Go back out and make adjustments(height, level, twist left or right)
Go back and check it again.
Usually curse and go do it again. Maybe a couple of times.
That's if you want it where you can fire at a target and get the readings. If all you want is velocity, can just set it up so you're shooting into the berm.
Don't forget to turn it on, and you can start shooting.
The procedure with this:
Take it out of the box.
Go back and check it again.
Usually curse and go do it again. Maybe a couple of times.
That's if you want it where you can fire at a target and get the readings. If all you want is velocity, can just set it up so you're shooting into the berm.
Don't forget to turn it on, and you can start shooting.
The procedure with this:
Take it out of the box.
Put it on the tripod.
Set it on the bench('5 to 15 inches to the side of the rifle, 5 to 15 inches back from the muzzle').
Turn it on, choose a couple of settings, then start shooting. It'll give you the high and low velocities of the string, standard deviation, and will work on rifles, pistols, arrows, and pellets.
It saves the data so you can review it later, and it has an app you can download to work with it.
Internal battery, comes with a recharging cable. There's not a charger, instructions in the manual say
so it will apparently work with any charger. Yeah, I'll ask about that to be sure. Battery life is two thousand shots or six hours continuous on. Turn it on, choose a couple of settings, then start shooting. It'll give you the high and low velocities of the string, standard deviation, and will work on rifles, pistols, arrows, and pellets.

Internal battery, comes with a recharging cable. There's not a charger, instructions in the manual say
And it's TINY! 3x1.4x2.4", and weighs a whole 3.75 ounces; a hefty 5.7 ounces with the tripod, which is included.
I had about a half-hour messing with it on an indoor range, and I'm impressed. I had a couple of lanes between myself and the next shooter and there was zero confusion with their shots. I've read that if someone is close enough, like next lane, it may sometimes pick up their shots. I may have to start saving up.
Here's their site if you want all the specs

The Brownshirts really seem to like NYeffingCity
"A Jewish mom and her husband were attacked and beaten at a Brooklyn elementary school graduation by an Arabic-speaking family — who taunted them with shouts of “Free Palestine!” “Gaza is Ours!” and “Death to Israel!” she told The Post.
The mayhem erupted at PS 682 in Gravesend just after the school’s fifth-grade graduation — which was themed, ironically, “All you need is love.”
And, unsurprisingly, it appears the PD and school are trying not to say it's a hate crime.

These people truly are the enemy
"The Biden administration’s since-disbanded “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group” planned an insidious influence operation to persuade mothers and teachers to inform on dissident parents and students suspected of “domestic extremism,” internal documents obtained by The Post show.
...
In notes from a September 2023 meeting, the Brennan-Clapper group discussed ways for DHS to increase efforts to collect intelligence on Americans across the country, and “get into local communities in a non-threatening way.” Members noted that “Americans have an ambivalent feeling of telling on each other,” citing the failure of the post-9/11 “See Something, Say Something” campaign."
And, a big one,
"One solution proposed at the meeting was to reclassify political dissent as a “public health” crisis to encourage Americans to report family members or neighbors to the federal government if they displayed “concerning” behavior."
These bastards desperately want to become the American Stasi. And should be treated as such.

How do you know you're living in a 3rd-world craphole?
You're in Chicago. And they'd rather give money for funerals than actually do something about the gang violence.
"Mayor Brandon Johnson will increase the scope of a pilot program that funds basic needs for victims of gun violence and their families, he announced Thursday as the latest update in his public safety plan ahead of the summer.
...
In touting his announcement, Johnson repeatedly decried his predecessors as “stingy” toward communities on the South and West sides that needed relief from disinvestment and violence the most. The fund in question was started in 2022 under former Mayor Lori Lightfoot and has since doled out aid to almost 400 victims."

This is a socialist asshole playing "See, I am being more generous to you, giving more money to bury your dead!" Whereas someone who actually gave a damn would be backing the cops going after the murderers- most gangbangers- and putting them in prison. But fat chance of that in Chicago. I'm really not sure why good cops still work in that place: the city government craps on them and kisses the criminals.

"In actuality, SIO hired a load of interns to scan social media for posts deemed to be mis- and disinformation. It turns out that the posts we students flagged were often sent along to moderators at Twitter (now X), Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, which took them down in order to quash dissenting viewpoints—viewpoints that sometimes ended up being right, as in the case of Covid likely being the result of a lab leak, or Hunter Biden’s hard drive being his actual hard drive—not Russian disinformation.
Thanks to the work of independent journalists, the SIO’s work has come under a lot of scrutiny, including in Washington. A recent House Judiciary Committee report alleges that, by cooperating with the Department of Homeland Security, the SIO’s Election Integrity Partnership “provided a way for the federal government to launder its censorship activities in hopes of bypassing both the First Amendment and public scrutiny.”
And if Stanford gave a damn about free speech, they'd be ashamed. But apparently they have no shame, at least when it comes to a chance to shut down people they disagree with.

A least favorite task is done,
brass(for one cartridge) has been processed and trimmed. So now, when I get done loading some other stuff I need to, I can make some of this into ammo again.
Assuming I can get the somewhat neglected cleaning of the dining room and living room done(at least somewhat) so that is out of the way.

It would be easier to just surrender and say "I give, mess can stay!", but it really is a mess. And if I were to meet a lady I'd prefer the house not make her back out slowly when she sees the house for the first time.

People like Murphy are the kind that gave me this almost lifelong great dislike for politicians
Yesterday I gave a difficult speech in the Senate.
The final reports are in on the Uvalde tragedy. 376 armed officers were outside that classroom. For one hour and 17 minutes. And they did nothing.

You know the face you make when you've been on hold for customer service and when someone finally answers the phone they tell you you've reached the wrong department and put you on hold AGAIN?
Yeah, we made that same face.

We don’t need more cowards unwilling to protect kids in schools — people like you. Guns save lives and aren’t the issue. https://t.co/BPMpV11cgx

Apparently Murphy has no problem with the sorry excuses for peace officers who refused to do their jobs. At least if he thinks he can use them to whack at citizens owning guns.
"Oh, it was an official record but we didn't think we needed to keep it."
However, records made public Friday by Judicial Watch show that in at least one instance, Secret Service members were asked to delete logs of an attack within an hour of it happening.
That instruction came on Sept. 25, 2023, after an EMT was requested to treat a bitten agency member, who was injured so badly that communications show they may have required hospitalization.
An email titled “LOG: DOG BITE (09-25-2023)” describes the reporting of that attack at 8:06 p.m. followed by a request for the Joint Operations Center’s logs to be deleted at 8:58 p.m.
Short version: Currently, if it's a federal agency, they are not to be trusted. About much of anything.

When they really don't want people to read it is a clue. Bunch of people on Fecesbook ran into a problem when they posted a link to this:
Fecesbook started informing them that this is spam and cannot be posted. So, as usual, people found a way to change the link a touch so you can copy and paste. Which they apparently don't like.
Gee, I wonder why...
Also: Fecesbook started hiding posts and shadowbanning when the post had a link the censors didn't like. So people started posting the link in the first comment, saying it was there. So Fecesbook started doing the same to posts that had the word 'link' in them. Then came a different word, which the censors are now chasing. Isn't it wonderful?

'Free Speech' at Hahvahd
A faculty member's right to free speech does not amount to a blank check to engage in behaviors that plainly incite external actors — be it the media, alumni, donors, federal agencies, or the government — to intervene in Harvard's affairs. Along with freedom of expression and the protection of tenure comes a responsibility to exercise good professional judgment and to refrain from conscious action that would seriously harm the University and its independence.
Ain't it wonderful? "Of course you can speak, you just can't say anything that brings bad publicity to the school!"

I've got a process I use after black powder cartridges
to clean the brass. I keep a plastic jug* under the bench and have a Lee Hand Press with a universal decapping die handy. I fire a shot, eject, use the press to punch out the primer and drop the case in the water; that way the fouling doesn't have time to start to harden. This process also makes me slow down and not rush the next shot..
When there's a pile in the jar I put the lid on and shake it, dump it, and repeat once or twice, depending on the number of cases, then drain and spread the cases out in the back of the truck to dry. This cleans them out well enough that when I get home I can throw them in the tumbler to get them ready for resizing. Resize, trim any that need it, and then I usually run them through the Lyman Turbo rotary tumbler. That cleans everything, including the primer pockets and flash holes, and leaves them nice and shiny(most stuff I just worry about clean, but those cases just look nice when they shine).
Downside to the rotary: you have to use water so it's more mess.
Upsides: no dust, great job of cleaning the cases out, and- until you lose some of it- the media is stainless steel pins and they never wear out.

Part of the problem in dealing with anti-gun types is they don't know what they're talking about,
but they're absolutely sure they do. For instance, here's a highly-ranked law professor from Harvard who doesn't know what the NFA actually did:
The 1934 Firearms Act bans civilian ownership of a “machine gun,” defined as a weapon that can fire “automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.”
As various people correct him, it didn't ban them, it did make them much more expensive and troublesome to own. And he fails to understand that with a bump stock the trigger still has to be depressed for each shot. Schooled on that, too.

Second current example is this:
Gaze upon this "I KNOW HISTORY!" from someone who apparently knows nothing of the subject she's lecturing about.
How do you reason with them?
