Ah, more wonders from that well-run-by-communists city of Los Angeles,
along with the rats and typhus and feral homeless, some of Wile E.'s relatives
Although there'd be a lot more ankle-biting if they attend the Olympics

They aren't Americans, so they feel perfectly say praying for all Americans to die,
and of course they throw Jews and Christians into the mix.
Wonder what punishment they want for pagans?

Ever watch Mythbusters?
By any chance the 'blow up the concrete truck' episode?
They asked one of the many bomb squad people involved if he wanted to be any closer instead of just watching through a remote camera and he said "Explosions like this, I NEVER want to be able to actually see it."
Well, I'd say he was right.

Gentleman named Orr has been passing some news stuff from Europe to me,
one of which is a mention of "Oh, our son went into Ceuta and we don't know what happened to him!" His part in an invasion of Spanish territory getting, of course, little mention. Which brought up the question of "How much crime is not being mentioned in the media because it was committed by muslims who invaded, and most news media won't talk about it?"
Well, considering all the crap that's happened in mainland Europe that the EUnuchs don't want to/won't talk about...
Which brings us to the latest exhibition of idiocy by Swedes:
Major scandal in Sweden after it turns out that MPs from the Left Party (used to have “The Communists”’in their party name until 1989) have been writing letters of encouragement to Palestinian terrorists who mass-murdered Israeli civilians.
Expressen reveals that several Members of Parliament have written letters to terrorists.
I'd bet the explanation involves something like 'But intersectionality says they're the REAL victims!'
If you looked up the mess with the fantasist Arday at Cambridge, you'll not be surprised by this:
He fit all the DEI "He's a miracle!" crap, so the school fell right into it. Which makes them look like the idiots they are. Which brings me to this post:
The more revealing part came when people pointed out that a century-old organization claiming to defend academic freedom for all professors might lose something by becoming an electoral participant in one party’s primary.
Wolfson’s response on X was: “Apparently our first endorsement has upset some people. Good.” He added, “AAUP isn’t going to respond by pretending politics isn’t happening. We’re going to organize.”
In another, now-deleted post, he called the critics “clowns” while straw-manning their arguments against the move.
...
The deeper objection to this move, though, is actually practical. Suppose you are a professor who opposed El-Sayed, or simply does not share the AAUP’s politics, and your academic freedom is violated. Are you really going to bring your case to the organization that has declared itself a left-wing political union and endorsed the candidate you opposed? More likely, you will go to FIRE or the Academic Freedom Alliance, or look to Heterodox Academy for support.
And the damage compounds. Once the AAUP behaves like a left-wing political organization, it attracts more people who want exactly that while driving away moderates, conservatives, libertarians, and anyone else who does not want an academic-freedom organization doubling as a political faction. The membership becomes still more homogeneous in the process. Internal objections get weaker. The next partisan step seems even more obvious.
That is how an organization becomes trapped inside its own box and then mistakes the view from inside for reality.
"WE are on the Right Side of History, WE say so, and anyone who disagrees is obviously a fascist/nazi/fill in the blank with the current favorite insult!" Which is exactly what got Cambridge into looking like the idiots running the place are truly idiots.
Ah, Academia and 'Higher' Education, who knows how much damage they've done?

Just in case you have nothing else to worry about,
Shooting 101: The Debate Between Point-Shooting and Aimed Fire
By Massad Ayoob, yet. He's written about this before, worth reading.

Things have improved, but
the shoulder is still a ways from normal. Flexibility in good shape, strength still needs work but limits on pushing it. Damned if, at this point, I want to find myself having to have any more repair work done.
Spotted a web of bagworms in the pecan tree, just about two feet further up than the pruning pole can reach, so used the dolly to bring the ladder around, set it up, and cut the branch they're on and got it down. No more I can spot right now, I'll watch it the next while.
The shoulder is telling me to take it easy, between this today and the bicycle the last few days; the PT was right, that is more wearing on the shoulder than I'd thought. I'll probably skip that today and let it rest.*
Lord, there's a lot of stuff I want to do, but between this and- in a couple of cases- waiting on parts, I can't yet.
*Yes, it's hot and humid outside, but that's not why I'm skipping today, honest.

Sounds good
For that matter, if he opens his yap about decolonization...
A lot of 'proper' leftist Jews are probably having fits right now,
looking at what their Party is doing, and saying about them. When they'll get tired of being told they're evil? That they and Israel should be done away with?
I know there are lots of dumbasses out there who support The Party No Matter What, but you'd think that, eventually, this would get through to them.

Of course, the fact that the EffingBI played Russiagate and lots of idiots still buy it bears against sense getting through...

Oh, YES! (added)
This calls for a drink. And possibly finding my old pipe and seeing if there's any tobacco left.
The ruling was issued Wednesday by District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, a Donald Trump appointee. He serves in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
And on the other side, we have this crap from BATFEIEIO. Wonderful, aren't they?I think I've mentioned Cedar Sanderson's 'The Groundskeeper' books,
and if I haven't shame on me. She just brought out the next in the series, I've just started it, and I'm enjoying it so far.
"This is a Star Progressive Professor, how dare you ask questions about his possible plagiarism!
Followed by "Yes, we're Scotland Yard, no, you didn't break any laws, but he doesn't like you asking questions so stop it."
The proper response to an actual peace officer organization would be "Screw you, I'll ask questions whether you or he like it or not."
If you haven't heard of this, it's become quite the academic kerfluffle, and the univerisity that's been kissing his ass is really not happy. And the professor started by calling critics and questioners racists, and now says "It's because of my autism and you should leave me alone."

I wonder of any of these Professional Journalists, instead of playing
"But Fauci was the Expert!" and trying to cover up their ass-kissing, have ANY of them considered telling the truth and saying "We messed up, and you paid the price."?
I know, fat chance.
Seems to cover it nicely
to call this air and nonsense would be charitable. it’s an admission of helplessness. the EC relied upon a soft power it no longer possesses because it now faces people who believe only in hard power which the EC never had.
bluff called.
it’s over.
the EC was fine to govern the sort of citizens who yell at tourists for crossing an empty street against the light. it is wholly unsuited for this and like many an ill fated magician’s apprentice before them, they have now summoned that which they have no hope of controling and will eat them alive.
but here’s the part i really loved: “the images from ceuta are unacceptable”.
talk about saying the quiet part out loud. not the events. not the crisis. the images. even now, for her it’s all perception. you want to understand why they want to mandate ID to use the internet/social media and why they so desperately demand the right to censor it (once more using courts and agencies to enforce their whim)? this is why.
“for my friends, speech, for my enemies censorship and gulag”.
what they are doing cannot survive these images.

If you don't despise the Major Media, please take note that they not only want you to shut up,
they want you to believe whatever they tell you, about everything, and don't you dare question their crap. Or point it out.
They want you to be nice, obedient believers.

Fat chance.
Something that made their rifles so expensive,
and there was good reason for it; I knew they had a super lockup for their doubles, but hadn't heard it called the 'rising bite' before.
Beautiful work.
Kim had mention of it in this post.

Have never handled a Rigby, once did have the chance to handle a old Evans double-rifle in .470 Nitro Express, and it would've been mine except for that part about selling the house, and maybe the truck, to pay for it.

From the PROM*: "We need ways to buy their votes, so let's play
Kiss Up To Muslims, even if it may be illegal!"
Such wonderful asshats running that state, aren't they?

*If you haven't seen it before, the People's Republic of MA
Asshat started shooting at people, a local citizen reacted
and shot back, and when asshat realized he was taking fire and the cops were coming, offed himself.
Appears our hero was carrying suppressed, so at least his ears should be fairly undamaged, too.
