Where a Redneck Jew, a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
A Moyle (the man in the Jewish tradition who performs circumcision) retires after 50 years.
At his retirement a tanner in the congregation presents him with a gift.
The Moyle says “what is it?”
The tanner says “it’s a wallet made from some of the foreskins you cut in your career, and if you rub it it turns into a briefcase.”
NEW: Hospitals receiving federal Medicare and Medicaid funding say they have been forced to scale back on services and face being shut down due to severe staff shortages caused by the Biden administration's vaccine mandate.

This is absolutely a hill worth killing and dying on.
Everything in life is a risk/reward balance.
According to the government the risk of a non-vaccinated doctor or nurse giving a patient COVID and causing a severe negative reaction or death is worse than the risk of delaying the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, heart problems, disabiling joint disease, endocrine problems, and a myriad of other progressive diseases by bottlenecking access to medical care.
I don’t know who did that math but it’s wrong and evil.
I said before, I have a friend whose wife found a lump and was delayed treatment for the better part of a year because of the lockdowns. By the time she got in to see a doctor her cancer has spread and she nearly died.
If my wife found a lump or one of my children started to get sick and I was told “it’s going to be several months until we can see you because we laid off a whole bunch of staff over the vaccine mandate,” well…

Smith & Wesson to Relocate Headquarters to Tennessee
Mark Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, said “This has been an extremely difficult and emotional decision for us, but after an exhaustive and thorough analysis, for the continued health and strength of our iconic company, we feel that we have been left with no other alternative.” He specifically cited legislation recently proposed in Massachusetts that, if enacted, would prohibit the company from manufacturing certain firearms in the state. “These bills would prevent Smith & Wesson from manufacturing firearms that are legal in almost every state in America and that are safely used by tens of millions of law-abiding citizens every day exercising their Constitutional 2nd Amendment rights, protecting themselves and their families, and enjoying the shooting sports. While we are hopeful that this arbitrary and damaging legislation will be defeated in this session, these products made up over 60% of our revenue last year, and the unfortunate likelihood that such restrictions would be raised again led to a review of the best path forward for Smith & Wesson.”
Smith & Wesson will also close facilities in Connecticut and Missouri as part of consolidating in Tennessee. This process will result in the company reducing the number of locations it maintains from four to three and will significantly streamline its manufacturing and distribution operations.
The facility in Springfield, Massachusetts will be reconfigured, but will remain operational; our expectation that we will keep some of our manufacturing operations in Springfield, Massachusetts, including all forging, machining, metal finishing, and assembly of revolvers, and will continue to have over 1,000 employees in the state.
Our expectation that the new facility will be built in Maryville, Tennessee and will consist of our headquarters, plastic injection molding, pistol and long gun assembly, and distribution.
This reminds me of what happened to Remington.
A northern Blue state passes a bunch of anti-gun laws.
They move as much equipment as they can to a new facility in a southern, gun and business friendly state.
Legacy products made on special, hard/impossible to move equipment continues to be made at the old factory.
Other, smaller satellite facilities are consolidated to the new factory.
The difference is S&W is using cash on hand and Remington was funded by a bunch of holding company motherfucking sons-of-bitches who borrowed money and murdered it with a debt inversion.
I wish them the best.

I bet that hurt…
This bullshit from UN News and World Report:
Woman Who Survived 1918 Flu, World War Succumbs to COVID
Primetta Giacopini’s life began and ended with pandemics.
What the headline implied:
COVID is worse than the 1918 flu. So much worse that COVID is killing Spanish Flu survivors. You need to be terrified of COVID.
What anyone with an iota of critical thinking noticed:
That was 103 years ago, how the fuck old was that woman?
The answer is, she died at 105.
Of course any death is sad, but at 105 she could have died from being put directly underneath an air conditioning vent.
She lived a good long life and that should be respected.
The media is turning that into COVID panic porn.
