…and I’m talking about the peoples, not the currency.
Seems as though the Europeans, in country after country, are rejecting socialism.
Why then, I ask, are Americans still even contemplating putting these Commie assholes into power Over Here?

New Wrinkle
I remember listening many years ago to a discussion between Derek & Clive (Peter Cook and Dudley Moore respectively) about politics. Margaret Thatcher was facing reelection, and Derek had a fairly novel suggestion:
“I think that Mrs. Thatcher should broaden her appeal to voters by giving us a brief — but tasteful — glimpse of her vag.”
Now it should be remembered that at the time, the BritPM was quite a babe (by politicians’ standards, anyway):
…and her wardrobe always managed to conceal a rather impressive bust, so Derek’s suggestion was not at all out of left field.
Now before I go any further, you may be thinking that I’m about to suggest that all female politicians follow Derek’s suggestion, but of course, nothing could be further from the truth — as a simple illustration would show:
Clearly, this is not a vote-catching approach with universal application.
However: if there is a reasonably-attractive female politician who, for various reasons cannot attract a significant number of voters for whatever reason, how could it hurt?
With that in mind, allow me to show you one such politician who, despite having some fairly decent policy positions (for a Democrat), is still trailing way back in the polls; it’s the lady from Hawaii, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard:
Now granted, young Tulsi is of the Democrat persuasion, and their core constituency seems to be made up exclusively of rabid feminists and wizened lesbians (some overlap), Muslim sycophants if not actual Muslims (who would want the whore stoned if she revealed her pudenda), homosexual men (ergo immune to her charms) and political apparatchiks who, from all accounts, have no sex life outside the Party. So maybe a quick vag-flash wouldn’t work with them.
Still, given that Rep. Gabbard has managed to garner maybe 1% support in the polls, my question remains: how much could it hurt?
Or is the basement-dwelling neckbeard incel population too small to matter?
I think we should be told.
Ultimately, Margaret Thatcher didn’t take Derek’s advice but still managed a thumping victory in that election (largely because she organized a thorough thrashing of the Argies for invading the Falkland Islands — can’t go wrong, slaughtering Argies).
But Tulsi can’t even order a carrier battle group to launch attacks against a second-tier target such as, say, Honduras let alone a massive pounding of Iran — always a proven vote-getter (sadly among conservatives, not Democrats) — and in any event, she has gone on record as being against U.S. aggression in foreign lands, so all that’s a non-starter.
All the more reason, thinks I, for her to consider the Vag Option.
Next up: Nikki Haley.

Stuck On Stupid
What I like most about the gun control movement is how ignorant (not to say dishonest) its proponents are. Cue Joe The Moron:
While attending a private campaign event in Seattle, the former vice president reportedly called for a ban on 9mm pistols.
…
While speaking to attendees of the latter event, Biden claimed that he supports the Second Amendment. The 77-year-old then went on to ask “Why should we allow people to have military-style weapons including pistols with 9mm bullets and can hold 10 or more rounds?”
…
In targeting 9mm pistols, Biden has called for a ban on one of the most popular firearms in America.
…
In its annual report on the U.S. firearms industry, Shooting Industry reported that 9mm caliber pistols are the most commonly produced pistol and have been for many years. In 2017 alone, there were more than 1.7 million 9mm pistols produced in the U.S. Cumulatively there are tens of millions of 9mm pistols in the hands of law-abiding Americans.
…
The 9mm pistol is the choice of the nation’s leading civilian law enforcement agency, the FBI. Moreover, 9mm pistols are used by countless other federal, state, and local civilian law enforcement agencies. Biden alluded to the 9mm handgun’s military applications, but these agencies are not tasked with waging war on the public, but rather defending the public. This defensive application is the same reason that millions of Americans have chosen a 9mm pistol as their self-defense firearm.
So now Clueless Joe wants to ban 9mm pistols, because they are “weapons of war and have no application in civilian life”.
As Longtime Readers know, I have long held the opinion that the 9mm Europellet is a marginal self-defense cartridge, certainly in its full metal jacket variant, less so with a proper expanding bullet — although even that’s a stretch.
But if Gummint (in Biden form) wants to ban the guns which shoot them, allow me to offer this advice (with my favorite pictured):
…or of course my perennial favorite (once again with my recommendation):
Let’s not forget the only 9mm pistol I own (I mean used to own, before that terrible Canoeing Accident On The Brazos):
(sadly, most are out of stock at the link — I wonder why?)
…and there’s always this option, for my ex-military friends (with all the rest):
And of course, because this is Joe Biden, he never thought (or didn’t know) that a jillion cops (along with a few misguided individuals) use this Austro-POS 9mm pistol too:
(no link because Glock, ugh)
Now I know the question on the lips of all my Readers will be: “Kim, why did you feature the Kahr 9mm pistols first?”
Simple answer: I like Kahr pistols. I think their action is superior to Glock’s, and their guns sit better in my hand too. Your opinion may vary, as may your choice in 9mm pistols, and that’s perfectly okay.
But as I said earlier:
I think y’all know what to do. And if you already own one (or two, or three, or four…) then you know what to do next:
…or even better:
Have at it. Make Baby Vulcan smile.
Buh-Bye
…to our favorite wannabe gun-confiscator, Beta O’Rourke, the Skateboard Jesus (thankee, Iowahawk), from the clown car Socialist slate of presidential no-hopefuls:
Don’t let the gun-butt hit you on the way out, you vacuous little snowflake.
Okay, folks: y’all can stop buying those AR-15s now… or not.
NIMBY
…which stands for “Not In My Backyard”. The expression is usually reserved for people like the Kennedys who are all cool about wind power as long as the turbines aren’t located off the Kennedy rat’s nest compound in Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.
Today, however, we look at the term in its more positive sense. Over at The American Thinker, Bill Gensert talks about the coming political violence when Trump gets reelected to POTUS in the 2020 election. While what he says is quite plausible, he does utter a basic truth:
Notice there were no Antifa at Trump’s Texas rally [last week]. I wonder why? I’m joking, I know why. It’s because Antifa is comprised of cowardly children playing dress-up and preying on the weak. For those with sociopathic tendencies, it’s fun to punch people who won’t punch, back but unlike in Minneapolis, Ilhan Omar’s stronghold, Texas would have slaughtered them.
Yup. Some dweeb was arrested while wearing body armor and carrying bear spray, but word is that he was there just in case anyone from the Pantifa Brigade showed up.
It is, as they say, to LOL. Trump’s audience at the rally was massive — people waited for over a day just to be able to get into the venue — but what was really impressive was that at least twice that number of people stayed outside the arena to hear what he was saying via loudspeakers.
I have absolutely no idea of the truth of this, but I wonder just how many of them were (legally) carrying guns? Hours before Trump even touched down at DFW, all the local radio hosts were telling people that the place was already full; so people knew they wouldn’t be getting into the arena but showed up anyway. I’m willing to bet that a goodly number of the crowd outside were armed, knowing that they wouldn’t have to go through security in the streets outside.
But no Pantifa showed up in Dallas. I don’t know whether to be relieved or disappointed.
