Insty had a post last week which linked to both an article about the importance of shooting with consistent accuracy, and the MantisX training system.
Yes to the first, and WTF to the second. ($150?)
I am way too much of a Cheap Bastard to use a sophisticated thing like the MantisX. Instead, I use a much simpler (and much cheaper) system:
Feel free to copy. It works at any distance.
I remember once seeing a cartoon in which a woman wearing a “Girl Power” t-shirt is buying a box of Tampax, and the (male) clerk smirking at her, saying, “Some things just never change, do they?”
I had a similar reaction to this one:
You may now clean the coffee off your screens.
…in this case, what happens when you elect a Socialist asshole vegan from New Jersey [some overlap] to Congress:
Sen. Cory Booker said in an interview published Tuesday that the continuation of meat-eating will destroy the planet.
…
“We will destroy our planet unless we start figuring out a better way forward when it comes to our climate change and our environment,” he added.
Despite his apocalyptic claims, Mr. Booker cautioned that he doesn’t want to ban meat-eating or even preach to people.
Of course you don’t, you lying fuckwit. You’re a Socialist: your kind has a collective orgasm by banning stuff and preaching to people because — wait for it — you know better than we do what’s good for us (and in this case, the planet). And vegans are even worse.
Go choke on a celery stick, Spartacus, and the sooner the better.
So the MAGA-inspired attack on that actor turns out to have been staged, for whatever (I don’t care which) reason. Predictably, when the thing was first publicized, the fucking Lefty media were all over it — right up until it was proven false. Then we got shit like the following, with the inevitable (and splendid) rejoinder:
Has anyone else noticed that every time one of us MAGA people has been accused of a hate crime, it turns out that the entire episode was either a put-up job (as above), a complete fabrication (e.g. “slashed hijab”), or self-inflicted with no witnesses (e.g. “hateful graffiti”)?
One would almost think that the Left was playing the whole thing to advance their various agenda… Reichstag fire, anyone?
It appears that the BritGov has a perennial shortage of men wanting to join their army. This led them, amid much merriment, to launch an ad campaign appealing to the Snowflake Generation — and apparently, to pretty much everyone’s surprise, it worked:
The controversial Army recruitment campaign aimed at ‘snowflakes’ led to an unprecedented wave of youngsters signing up, figures reveal.
Posters released on January 3 targeted ‘snowflakes, selfie addicts, class clowns, phone zombies and ‘me, me, millennials’ ‘ as part of a £1.5million campaign aimed at overturning negative stereotypes.
Critics said they patronised youngsters and the soldier used on the ‘snowflake’ poster threatened to quit.
But the Army said yesterday it had 9,700 applications in the first three weeks of January – a five-year high – compared to 5,437 the previous year.
Whether anyone would want more of said demographic in their army, or anywhere for that matter, is a topic for another time, but whatever.
What’s troubling is the way that the Brit Army supports its soldiers once they’ve joined. Try this little horror show (and you may want to put all guns and/or throwable objects out of reach before you read it):
How hero soldier won the Military Cross for unimaginable bravery in Iraq then years later was smeared as a war criminal by leeching lawyers
Disgusting. And I’m not just talking about the fucking lawyers.
P.S. Mind you, that’s not to say the U.S. doesn’t do the same thing. Fuckers.
