BMW Motorrad North America has apparently issued a stop-sale order and asked its United States-based dealers to stop selling all new, internal combustion-powered BMW motorcycles. At least two dealers have confirmed that during a recent Skype call, BMW Motorrad North America put the stop-sale order in place. It’s not yet clear whether the stop-sale order also affects Canada.
According to one dealer, BMW North America said that the issue stems from an emissions canister component provided by a non-BMW supplier. However, a different dealer couldn’t confirm that the stop-sale order resulted from a supplier-provided part and suggested that it could be something entirely different.

This kind of crap will continue until that 'lying under oath' thing is prosecuted
and a bunch of people wind up either behind bars or getting huge fines. Preferably both.
The FBI had so many paid informants at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, that it lost track of the number and had to perform a later audit to determine exactly how many “Confidential Human Sources” run by different FBI field offices were present that day, a former assistant director of the bureau has told lawmakers.
At least one informant was communicating with his FBI handler as he entered the Capitol, according to Steven D’Antuono, formerly in charge of the bureau’s Washington field office.
So, they didn't- maybe still don't- know how many people they had there, and don't know or won't admit what all they were doing, but we can TOTALLY trust them that it was all above-board and by the rules, right?

I hope she's awarded both ears, the tail, and everything else they have
An unnamed woman who once identified as transgender filed suit last week against the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Nebraska Medicine, and three doctors for “negligence and lack of informed consent” after she had a “gender-affirming” double mastectomy at the age of 16 in 2018.
Now a young woman, the plaintiff will never nurse her children, assuming she is still able to bear them after four years of testosterone treatments that “caused significant mental and physical harm.”
And here's hoping for even more.

One more imposition of the Dumbass Tax in Yellowstone,
delivered by the usual agent.
How anyone can look at a bison up close and not respect it, I do not understand.

Why anyone trusts these people about anything anymore, I do not know.
A former FBI supervisor has informed Congress that the bureau’s Washington field office had a second “politically connected” informant giving them information for the investigation into the Biden crime family but was instructed to “shut down the source” before the 2020 presidential election.
“Retired Special Agent Timothy Thibault, the former No. 2 supervisor in the FBI’s Washington field office, told the House Judiciary Committee last week in a transcribed interview he was somewhat taken aback when he received the request from the lead agent in the Hunter Biden tax case in October 2020 to shut down the confidential human source (CHS),” reports Just the News.
Remember a couple of years ago when the EffingBI was complaining that when their agents testified in court they weren't automatically believed anymore? After all the crap that's come out about the FBI laboratory crap, and then the political stuff, they should be amazed they're believed about anything, including that they're actually a Federal agent.

No joy on a barrel as yet
Only thing close is a blank chambered for .50-90. The chamber end could be cut back a little, but the amount of lathe time it'd take to profile it makes it a no-go.
One of these days. And if not I'll decide on a caliber I can find one for.

"Bad guys make the best backstops" is one of the best Update: link fixed
things I've heard in a while, and there's more.
It's both cute and depressing that idiots are still playing "Maybe we can prevent a recession",
when we've been in the damn thing for, oh, close to two years?
Oh, and not having enough energy is a product of idiots screwing our ability to make it. Same idiots who put us in this recession.
My, isn't this interesting?
The flag shown includes the black stripe for pedophiles('minor-attracted persons'). Hey, remember what helped get the Taliban support in its early days? "We're going to end this thing of warlords using children for sex toys." But the 'progressives' thought all that was in the muslim past as long as said 'progressives' aided them.
As someone put it, "Is that how they think this works? Hey we paid you lip service, now please abandon your social and religious beliefs for us."

This kind of idiocy is one reason our schools have become such garbage
Vice President Kamala Harris spent Thursday afternoon lecturing college students about how the government must ensure "equal outcomes."
"If we want equal outcomes, we need to take into account not everybody starts out on the same base, and we have to make adjustments," Harris told a crowd at Hampton University in Virginia on her month-long college tour called "Fight for Our Freedoms."
And then she calls that 'fair outcomes'. As if she knew a damn thing about fairneess.

This is the kind of thing that happens when a society raises lots of feral young
They steal, and beat, and rape, and kill, and think they're entitled to do so. It's just entertainment/making some money/"They/Someone owes me for some reason"/they don't see others as human.
As some have observed, we're going to wind up with the honest starting to kill the bad guys and walk away, because the police have been neutered and lots of the 'justice' system is more involved in showing virtue and political bullshit than protecting the honest.

Now throw in the leftist DAs who seem to care more about causing chaos in their cities than anything else.
Insty is fond of noting 'the police are largely there to protect the criminals from their victims/intended victims from taking care of business themselves.' He's right. Some of the police chiefs and DAs pushing to punish anyone who defends themselves or their neighbors makes it worse. And, sooner or later, there will start the cases of dead bad guys in streets and alleys, or just disappeared. Which is not exactly an optimal solution, but it's the one they and a lot of other politicians are pushing for, whether they realize it or not.

Here's the test results
on the subsonics.
Standard Disclaimer applies.
Chrony was ten feet from the muzzle, velocities in feet per second. Both tested out of AR pattern rifles with 16" barrels.
First, two loads in .300 Blackout:
200-grain Berry's over 11.7 grains CFEBLK
1005
1091
989
1062
1053
avg. 1040
Second, 190-grain boattail hollowpoint match bullet(probably Sierra Matchking) over 10.5 grains H4198:
917
884
941
886
915
avg. 908.6
The 190-grain bullets do give better accuracy at 100 yards, at the indoor range of 30 yards there's barely any difference.
The other loads were 7.62x39 using the same 200-grain Berry's .308 bullet as the first .300 load
12.8 grains CFEBLK
966
1037
954
996
970
avg. 984.6
12.9 CFEBLK
991
997
1016
1004
1019
avg. 1005.4
13.0 CFEBLK
1000
1163
1024
1001
1022
avg. 1042
The second had a definite stronger sound, can only suppose that the measure dropped a touch more powder on that one for some reason/somehow. If I test these again I'll weigh each charge just to be certain.

Chicago's socialist mayor has decided to take the 'screwed up' up another notch
Because you can't have real socialism without hunger.
A Canadian school decides to 'raise inclusivity' by getting rid of older books. Y'know, ones more likely to have unapproved thoughts and ideas in them.
The American Library Association is probably watching this with great interest and approval.
A transgender clinic in St. Louis will begrudgingly no longer prescribe gender hormones to minors thanks to a new state law that exposes doctors to lawsuits if they provide such treatments.
Take note of the other things involved:
Former case manager Jamie Reed came forward with allegations that the clinic had hastily put children with psychiatric issues on hormone treatments, and alleged that the clinic did not make sure people were aware of the side effects.
The New York Times reported that emergency staff at the hospital started seeing a spike in trans-identifying children at the same time that were showing up every day in a psychiatric crisis.
Reed's been in the news before, starting when the blew the lid off this. Here's the original article.
Telling the truth, when it's about the Wuhan vaccine, is considered a punishable crime by too many idiots.

I actually had a chance to put some of the subsonics over a Chrony, but I'm not going to do that post right now
Too late in the evening. But I did get the data for sixth eve done, and it is presented below

While back a guy was insisting that the grooming/socialist/"Don't tell your parents about this" teachers
'are just a few'. And yet more and more of this crap comes out.
The story as told by DeDe is that she had a traumatic upbringing and instead of talking to a psychiatrist, she uses her classroom of preschoolers as her emotional support. She teaches them if they don't like their family, they can choose other families. Instead of, you know, teaching them sight words, numbers, and how to use scissors.
"I think everyone should be allowed to do that," she ranted. "And that's what I f*cking teach in the classroom. Okay? I always say give it to your friend and not your mom. Because f*ck your mom."
At best she's a bleeping idiot. And I don't think there's actually a 'best' to this.

Shame on me for forgetting, a couple of days ago the Holy League broke the Second Siege of Vienna,
with the final blow struck by Jan Sobieski, leading the Winged Hussars of Poland at the tip of the biggest cavalry charge in history.
The Poles still mark it.
And this is the time for the song

When your electric car self-ignites in the company parking lot,
that's embarrassing.
That’s when its lithium-ion battery cell reportedly overheated, went into a thermal runway condition and caught fire. He said firefighters applied water to cool the battery cell for several hours before the fire was extinguished.
No damage occurred to the charger or other vehicles. According to King, firefighters are accustomed to responding to conventional vehicle fires, which are typically put out with one fire engine and anywhere from 500 to 1,000 gallons of water.
However, Tuesday’s fire required nearly 45,000 gallons of water and multiple units, including an engine, tower, battalion chief, rescue, hazmat, and an air response vehicle. In a news release, the fire department urged EV owners to take precautions against fires.

They lie about their 'gender-affirming care' program,
and the people who told the truth are called names and threatened for it. The usual.
Seven months after former pediatric gender clinician Jamie Reed blew the whistle on unquestioning “affirming” care at Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, the New York Times has confirmed core elements of her story.
Speaking with patients, employees, local health-care providers, and parents, the Times investigation corroborated many of Reed’s central allegations, most notably that a substantial number of adolescent patients were prescribed testosterone treatments before their underlying mental-health issues were addressed. Moreover, the St. Louis clinic exhibited a categoric lack of record-keeping and patient tracking.
As “demand rose, more patients arrived with complex mental health issues. The clinic’s staff often grappled with how best to help, documents show, bringing into sharp relief a tension in the field over whether some children’s gender distress is the root cause of their mental health problems, or possibly a transient consequence of them,” the Times noted.
'Transient consequence' being the fancy way of saying "An awful lot of these kids have mental health problems that probably helped lead to them declaring themselves trans, but they didn't get treatment for them. Just thrown into "Let's start changing your gender!"
Can you say 'medical malpractice'? I knew you could.
There are a lot of people involved in this abuse who need to face real consequences for the damage they've done.
