Ladies, give it up. Just because you have a vagina and kick the ball rather well (better sometimes than the males) does not mean you get paid the same. According to FIFA, the average 2018 World Cup game drew 191 million viewer with the final hitting over the half billion viewers worldwide. That is a lot of revenue generated and sorry to say you ladies still are not even close to 10% of that.
So, shut up with the politics, play to your earnest, make noise for the sport and make viewership grow. Ask ESPN how are the ratings since they became a political channel with sports sidelines.
This week’s Forged in Fire had the blade smiths do a Kukri in nasty weather conditions using a coal forge and no super mechanical hammer (Big Blue). The second part, they went back to the studio to do the handle thing and you know the rest.
I like Kukris. A lot. So for fun, I checked Youtube for a video and I was rewarded with the artisans doing Kukri in flip flops and using “equipment” that looks like it is parts from old machinery repurposed for the forge work. Other than an angle grinder, the hammers and files, the rest of the stuff is ingenuity in action:
I was thinking about my last post and what Joe Biden said, and I was reminded of the Democrat primary from four years ago.
Here is former Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asking who she was proud to have as her enemies.
The very first enemy that she calls out is the NRA.
And (again) here is former Senator and Vice President saying that gun manufacturers are the enemy.
Just for shits and giggles, let us turn to Merriam-Webster and look at the definition of the word enemy.
1 : one that is antagonistic to another especially : one seeking to injure, overthrow, or confound an opponent
I do not think I can hammer home this point hard enough.
In two consecutive presidential elections, the leading Democratic primary candidate declared law-abiding American gun owners, with a vested interest in preserving their gun rights, to be their enemy – people to be injured and overthrown.
The Democrats rush to defend the humanity of MS-13 gang members that hack people to death with machetes. They dismiss the threat of ISIS and radical Islamic terrorists, especially the idea of said people coming across our southern border.
But NRA members and those people who work in the gun industry, they are the enemy to the Democrats.
It should shock the conscience of any American politician running a campaign calling fellow Americans, especially law-abiding ones, the enemy, but the Democrats have done that TWICE.
And they have the audacity to call Trump “Hitler.”
If Biden is elected President, I wonder as someone who is gainfully employed by an FFL, what color badge I will be forced to wear.
In South Florida (OK, maybe Middle Florida) West an armed crook found the hard way we ain’t New York/New Jersey.
NORTH PORT, Fla. (WWSB) – Police in North Port say a woman was trying to get money out of an ATM when a man with a gun approached her. But her boyfriend, seeing the situation unfold, opened fire, striking the robber several times.
It happened shortly before 10:30pm on Thursday. Police say a woman was at the ATM at the Suncoast Credit Union on Aidan Lane while her boyfriend waited in the car.
While she was at the machine, a man police have identified as 19-year-old Ryan Warren of North Port walked up to her carrying a loaded handgun. The woman’s boyfriend, seeing what was happening, got out of the car and shot Warren several times, according to police.
According to the wishes of the clown on stage at the Democrat Debate, the boyfriend should have been unarmed and at best, be a good witness of the robbery and perhaps even killing of his mate.
Anyway. We are going downhill so I figure we will be begging for an ammo limit of 100 rounds a year for our 3 shot revolver before 2025.
“Last thing, we should have smart guns. No gun should be able to be sold unless your biometric measure can pull that trigger. It’s within our right to do that, we can do that, our enemy is the gun manufacturers, not the NRA.”
That is a hell of a position to take, stating that law-abiding Americans working in one of the nation’s most heavily regulated industries are “the enemy.”
He then double-downed on Twitter:
The members of the NRA are not our opponents — the vast majority of them support common-sense reforms, including universal background checks. The gun manufacturers who bankroll the NRA are our opponent.
Is he going to put them out of business by having the ATF pull their FFL’s?
Is he going to sue them out of existence?
It is truly fantastic when a presidential candidate runs a campaign calling law-abiding American citizens “the enemy.”
I thought dehumanizing language like that was what Nazis did? I’d say that if the Left didn’t have double standards they’d have no standards, but the Left has always been about dehumanizing people.
This should be ridiculously disqualifying, and if you read the replies to his Tweet, you will see that a lot on the Left think so too… only because they think he should have said the NRA was the enemy also.
Welcome to 2020, where Trump opposing illegal immigrant gang members entering our country makes him like Hitler but Biden gets applause for calling American citizens “the enemy.”
If you want to know why I don’t want to give up my guns, this is why I don’t want to give up my guns.
My people have been called “the enemy” before and I don’t like being called “the enemy” again.
I was once young, unhurt and slender. Now I am more gravitational challenged with my vertebrae and other body parts collecting the bill for the stupid shit I did way back. And somehow some young bull (whose only claim to fame is to have appeared in a gun competition TV show with a hole in the groin area of his shorty shorts), somehow suggests I am not worthy of guns because I am do not posses a Spartan warrior physique.
When I was growing up in Miami, I remember one time near the U of M campus, I saw some shithead college socialist wearing a Che Guevera shirt.
Hand to god, I saw an old Cuban woman hobble up to him with her cane, screaming “Che mato mis hermanos” (Che murdured my brothers) and then preceded to beat him in the head with her wooden cane.
He deserved every blow and then some.
So, lo and behold, Mayor Bill de Blasio, that six-foot five-inch communist fuck, proving that he is a stupid and clueless as he is tall, decided to use a Che quote to rally supporters in Miami:
“The eyes of the world are on Miami-Dade and on this airport.” -De Blasio.
