I see that Gurgle’s evil technocracy has blocked a few conservative outlets, but somehow missed blocking Splendid Isolation :
My few thousand daily Readers are doubtless not worth their attention. So capitalizing on their omission, here’s a pic of a gun:
That’s a Knights SR25 in the manly 7.62mm NATO (7.62x51mm), and it’s at Collectors.
May as well take advantage while I can.
“[E]galitarianism inevitably flips the natural order on its head, elevating the bottom over all else. The ideological enforcers in the human resource department are no different from the ideological enforcers in communism. These people are not selected for their skill, but their stupidity. They are too stupid to contemplate what they are doing. Instead, they puff out their chests and stiffen their backs for having memorized the latest party fads.”
Next time you have any dealings with some self-important H.R. flunky, feel free to use the parts of the above which are appropriate, because it’s absolutely true. Totalitarianism doesn’t run on evil, but on the stupidity of its apparatchiks.
It’s not often that I can read an article without being able to summarize it with a few words or sentences, but this post by The Captain is one of the exceptions. Here’s but an excerpt, but there’s so much more gunny goodness:
To begin with, it’s always been a myth that the police were there for protection. Regular readers, and most other educated men and women, already know about cases Warren versus D.C. and Castle Rock versus Gonzales. There are more, but these two cases demonstrate that police are not duty bound to offer anyone protection.
But at least it’s a myth that many people have believed. The riots, looting, pillaging, beatings and murders of late have convinced many uninformed folks that maybe they do need protection in lieu of police. In short, that myth has been shattered.
And it gets better, wif grafs and stuff.
It’s not often that a post falls into so many of my categories (see above), but this one certainly does:
Actions have consequences. So do inactions. Just ask Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Walz had asked the federal government for $500 million to help the city of Minneapolis rebuild after riots destroyed or damaged more than 1500 buildings. The government refused.
Excuse me for a moment…
Ooooh, the Schadenboner is great with this one — all the more so when we hear the sniffling and whining:
“The Governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s office said in a statement. “As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through.”
…and the response:
In a statement, a FEMA rep confirmed the request had been denied, saying it was determined that “the impact to public infrastructure is within the capabilities of the local and state governments to recover from.”
Yup. You fucking loony Lefties thought you could fuck around and play your little utopian games without consequences, and now you’re going to have to pay for the repairs yourselves.
And for those who think that this will cause Trump to lose Minnesota in November: the people who are in the deepest shit now weren’t going to vote for Trump anyway, and the right-thinking people of Minnesota are probably just as pissed off with Walz and his cronies as everyone outside the state is. In the cold-blooded electoral calculus, this will probably turn out to help Trump, not only in Minnesota but everywhere else. The Left needs to have the effects of their lunacy and misgovernment rubbed in their noses good and hard, and most of all, publicly.
Wait till New York hands in its bill… if they have the nerve to do so, after this.
In the meantime, I’m going to have a couple-three quiet lunchtime cocktails of this stuff.
With just a teeny bit of editing…
