…and no, we’re not talking about looking at bikini pics of Salma Hayek. We’re talking about this nonsense, as sent to me by my so-called friend Combat Controller:
And once fitted:
Seriously?
As I pointed out to CC, the only thing stopping me from reaching for Ye Olde Credytte Carde is that said “furniture upgrade” costs nearly double what I spent on the rifle itself.
Gotta admit, though, it’s not bad-looking.
Well now, isn’t that special?
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) went on a tirade, during which he appeared to say that citizens would be justified in shooting ICE agents.
“But what is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets, the attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums,” Nadler began. “If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped. You’d be justified in shooting the person to protect yourself.”
It has long been established that ICE agents wear masks because they are under threat of the radical left identifying and doxxing them. On top of that, even masked ICE agents are clearly identifiable as federal agents every single time. There is no need to suggest that it would be justified to shoot ICE agents.
“But we see people being shot, for what? For driving a car?” Nadler added.
Here we go. Throw in a few blatant untruths or careful elisions — that would be “attacked by a masked person [wearing a clearly-identifiable law enforcement uniform]” and “being shot for driving a car [at people wearing clearly-identifiable law enforcement uniforms]” — and guess what? According to this Nadler asshole, “You’d be justified at shooting the person to protect yourself.”
Yes. Let’s see how that plays out in a courtroom, shall we?
But what the hell, if that fat fuck Nadler can say what he said, then I’ll say this:
I hope that in these specious cases of self-defense, the perpetrators never make it as far as the courtroom, but end up lying in a pool of their own blood right there in the streets, shot dead by law enforcement.
Enough, as they say, is enough. The Left seems eager for a crowd of martyrs to further their little anti-ICE / anti-Trump PR campaign; may be it’s time we gave them what they want, in spades.
Before we get dragged into another pointless argument with the Usual Suspects, let us remind ourselves what the three purposes of a secure Voter ID card are, namely that you are:
It’s really that simple. Now ask yourself the simple question: who would be against such a simple concept, and why?
The next step is a lot more, shall we say, punitive. Considering that the above constitutes one of the principle freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution (i.e. that citizens are entitled to vote), then I would suggest one final step:
Any U.S. House Representative or Senator who votes against this measure should be immediately removed from their position because they have betrayed their oath of office, and must be subject to a recall vote in their state or district.
Frankly, I’m sick of fucking around with this nonsense — fraudulent votes, stolen elections, voter negation and all the rest — and it’s time we put an end to it. Immediately.

Then there’s this tale of woe (read it all for the full horror):
College students are increasingly unprepared for serious study, with some professors recently reporting they are illiterate, raising significant questions about the overall quality of American education.
“It’s not even an inability to critically think,” Jessica Hooten Wilson, a Pepperdine University professor, told Fortune. “It’s an inability to read sentences.” Wilson described that she is trying new pedagogical methods to convey the same information. “I feel like I am tap dancing and having to read things aloud because there’s no way that anyone read it the night before,” Wilson stated. “Even when you read it in class with them, there’s so much they can’t process about the very words that are on the page.”
Yeah, I know all about that. I think I’ve told the story of how Connie (as Global Director of Training at a Great Big Accounting Firm) had occasion to review some of her earlier training materials. These, she discovered, were about 80% text and the rest graphics. Only five years later, the ratio had been completely inverted: 80% graphics and the rest text. (And just so we know who we’re talking about, the trainees all had Masters degrees in either Finance or Business. Not yer typical Fem Studies or Art History grads, these.) When she tried to arrest that development and include more text, all that happened was that the training became less effective: less absorption and poorer retention.
So none of the above are at all surprising to me; only the extent is somewhat shocking.
At some point, all learning, innovation and civilization itself is going to plateau (or worse, #Muslims) instead of increasing with each generation, as before.
Amidst his pics of lovely women and old cars, I noticed that The Feral Mick has a recurring theme:
…along with a simmering degree of impatience towards a certain USAG:
I’m starting to get that same feeling about mainstream Republicans.
