Escalation

One of the very first things my father taught me was an important one:  Never point your toy gun at a policeman.  As he explained further, you may know it’s a toy gun, but he doesn’t:  so there’s a good chance he might shoot you.  And it would be your fault.

Continuing the chronicles of the Left playing out its little Insurrection Fantasy, we see this latest example:

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) riots by Antifa and other activists since June 2025 may have now claimed what could have been the first killing tied to this anti-ICE operation in Portland, following a Friday-night drive-by shooting.

Here’s the relevant bit:

Instead of using an actual gun, however, the angry shooter, a woman, used a reported non-lethal BB-type gun and shot at least one right-wing livestreamer in the face and arm multiple times. Others may have been hit as well.

As someone pointed out:

Had it been real, they’d be dead or wounded.

And had someone returned fire and killed this drunken bitch, no doubt the wails would have been deafening:  It was just a little toyyyyyy!

Yup, and she would have been killed by just a little bullet.

Keep sowing the wind, Leftie scum.  The Revolution wants and needs martyrs, and it won’t take long before that wish is granted.  Just remember:  you started it.

What he said.

“Due” Process

Well, so much for this little meme:

courtesy of the Fifth (!) Circuit:

Thousands of illegal aliens have been ordered released on bond by federal judges based on established practice of almost 30 years — but the Fifth Circuit holds that is not required by the statute.

Which means:

…[this] will allow the Trump Administration to detain pending removal as many illegal aliens arrested by DHS as it has the physical capacity to hold.

And that physical capacity?

Currently that capacity is only around 65,000. But DHS is building more detention facilities, and the expectation is to increase that number to 200,000 by the end of 2026.

Build, baby, build.  And ramp up the “remigration” process, with especial care for the serious criminals among them:

And those detention camps?  Close to Fuck, Nowhere — deserts like Death Valley preferable.  Oh, and make them tent cities with minimal facilities so that nobody gets comfortable, and going back to Home Sweet Shitholia becomes more appealing.  If we need the materials, we could always buy these cheap from the Australians, who probably have some spares lying around.

And before anyone gets their tits in a knot about “appalling living conditions” etc., I should point out that I myself spent nearly two years living in a tent exactly like the above, in the Seffrican Army.  (Executive summary:  Froze in winter, sweltered in summer.)

We can also wave goodbye and say good riddance to the much-abused Notice To Appear stupidity.

Once A Commie

…always a Commie, even at the risk of sounding hypocritical:

American unions, once wary of — or even outright hostile — to immigration because of its threat towards American wages and bargaining power, are now at the forefront of the anti-ICE protests opposing the Trump administration’s immigration crackdowns.

Since President Donald Trump took office last year, several of America’s most prominent unions, like the Service Employees International Union, United Auto Workers, and others under the AFL-CIO umbrella, have opposed deportations of illegal immigrants and other ICE operations through general strikes, protests, and workplace training.

Oftentimes, these unions partner closely with radical leftist organizations to do so, such as the radical Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), the Marxist People’s Forum, the Revolutionary Communists of America, and local chapters of the Communist Party USA, as Just the News has previously documented

Unions under the AFL-CIO umbrella have been instrumental in organizing strikes across the country to protest Trump administration deportation operations. AFL-CIO even provides a tracking map for users to identify workers’ strikes organized by its affiliates.

So let’s see if I’ve got this right:  Trump’s major foreign policy initiatives have been directed towards “reshoring” manufacturing from Asia and back into the United States.  These initiatives, if successful, would create the construction of factories and the concomitant recruitment of labor forces here in the U.S., i.e. blue-collar jobs that labor unions are supposedly all about protecting.

But the unions are behind protests to send illegal immigrants — who have been instrumental in taking away blue-collar jobs from Americans and / or lowering the average wage for said jobs — back to Shitholia.

Does anyone else see the irony here?

Or should workers just start shooting their unions’ leadership?

About That Wood Thing

Last week I posted about putting the wood to an AR-15:

 

…whereupon Reader Butch B. sent me his treatment thereof, along similar lines:

Using Cerakote for the steel, and wood instead of plastic, he calls it his “Fudd-riffic AR-15” (right-click to embiggen).

I have to say, that looks rather fetching — kinda like a modern version of the venerable M1 Garand.  (Butch, can you send me the details of where you found that wood furniture?  I am really intrigued…)

Loss Leader?

Reader Brad_In_IL suggests that Palmetto State Armory has an overstock of the excellent S&W Model 686;  that, or they’re just using it as a loss leader — the retail term that is used to describe an advertising campaign which features a product at a ridiculously-low price to attract customers into the store, where they’ll buy not just the featured loss leader but (hopefully) other products at regular retail prices (which carry higher profit margins).

Here’s the aforementioned S&W 686 from PSA:

Phew.  Okay, that’s really tempting.  [checks bank account]

Shit.
