Greatest Threat Today?

October 26, 2022 by 1 Comment

I know Twitter is a wasteland but sometimes I just cannot help myself. With Elon Musk completing his purchase of it soon, it may get better. Nonetheless, you can find some interesting things there.

Given how the media, Joe Biden, and the Democrat Party are constantly saying the greatest threat today is armed, right wing, extremist, white supremacists, this Zoom webinar put on by Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions fits the bill.

While Josh Horwitz is not one of the featured speakers, this sounds like something right out of the old Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (sic) playbook. Horwitz was always harping on “insurrectionists”. When he wrote stuff like that, he was talking about people who really didn’t like Barack Obama more than anything else.

While I will be on vacation on November 1st, I’m going to try and listen in on what is sure to be a scintillating (!) presentation. I just registered and added it to my calendar. It is times like this that I wish the late Mike Vanderboegh were still alive. I know he’d have something to say about it.

Tweet Of The Day

July 8, 2022 by 9 Comments

We have often seen tweets where the commenter says that they are a veteran, that they know about firearms, and that no civilian needs an AR-15 (or fill in the blank firearm.)

Someone by the name of Lakota Man, had just such a tweet.

He got a response from War Path to which he agreed.

Talk about getting owned.

The sad thing is that Lakota Man has over 200,000 Twitter followers and I would wager a good number of them think that the forward assist is some sort of full auto button. As to War Path, that was world-class trolling!

Reactions To Biden’s Speech on “Gun Violence”

June 24, 2021 by 3 Comments

There is nothing like a good old Joe Biden word-salad speech as shown below to inspire some good, down-home snarkiness.

Oh, where to start. I guess we’ll go with Miguel from Gunfreezone.net.

Let’s move on to Dana Loesch who is always good for some snark.

Moving on to Maj Toure.

How about this from firearms patent attorney Ben Langlotz.

We have to get in a meme using Sponge Bob.

A new hashtag has been created!

Now to a serious comment. I do sincerely believe that Joe Biden is showing age-related cognitive decline. I see similar behaviors to what I saw in my own mother who suffered from dementia for years before she passed away. However, while we can laugh and make fun of Biden’s speech, we need to realize that it will be his authoritarian administration using the jack-booted thugs of BATFE (potentially led by Chipman) and other agencies carrying out these anti-self defense policies. They are not demented and they are evil and they will use lawfare. If lawfare fails, they will use deadly force backed by false narratives parroted by a compliant media. Biden’s speech was the side-show; the implementation of these evil policies will be the main event.

Mind Your Own Knitting

I came across a tweet from Everytown’s favorite demanding mom this morning and the comments could just write themselves.

Then there is the last sentence in her tweet: “I’m not a natural.” I think we all knew that!

Snark Of The Day

November 12, 2020 by 1 Comment

Writing something with just the right amount of snarkiness is an art form. Of course, we all know that Tam is the High Priestess of this. But she may have a competitor in Dov Fischer, a lawyer and rabbi, who writes for The American Spectator.

Writing about the opinion polls that were so wrong, Fischer noted that they gave Democrats the courage to tell Americans exactly what they intended to do if elected.

In the list of things the Democrats planned to do was this:

We will end the Electoral College because it is the only college left in the country that does not have a Critical Race Theory major requirement.

Given the crap being proposed at my alma mater, I think he may be correct.

I know this is in response to the satirical website BabylonBee but it is wonderful.

World Class Snark

March 21, 2019 by

I love snark. The tweet below is, in my opinion, world-class.

As most probably know, that Irish-American former congressman from Texas by the name of O’Rourke has decided to run for president. I’d wager that if he were forced to take an Ancestry DNA test, the only Spanish blood in his veins might have come from a survivor of the Spanish Armada that washed ashore in Ireland.

Cheer to entrepreneur and business advisor Carol Roth for giving us the proper pronunciation of O’Rourke’s first name.

This Flag Offends Me

July 14, 2015 by 3 Comments

I look at this flag and see within it the flag of a nation that oppressed my mother’s people from the Middle Ages until the first part of the 20th Century. A nation that forbid primogeniture to my mother’s people which, when combined with their callousness, led to over a million dead men, women, and children from starvation. This, while my ancestors’ homeland was a net exporter of grain and other foodstuffs. While that nation didn’t consider it a genocide, many of my mother’s people most certainly did.

It is also the flag of the nation that my father’s people fought to gain their freedom. Their independence, if you will.

My mother’s people came from County Cavan, Ireland while parts of my father’s people were in America before the Revolution.

That nation that oppressed my mother’s people and with which my father’s people fought in a revolution is of course Great Britain.

The flag to which I refer is the state flag of Hawaii which celebrates its friendship with the British with the Union Jack in its upper left corner.

If the social justice warriors are really serious about getting rid of any symbol that smacks of oppression, I demand then that they get rid of the flag of Hawaii.

It is also the flag of the state where the President was (probably, possibly, potentially) born. Given his goal to out-Nixon, Nixon, I see it doubly as a symbol of oppression.

I won’t go so far as to demand that the graves of famous Hawaiians be dug up but that flag has to go.
