This is because it’s all bread and circus

Having a good football team is clearly more important than a strong global strategic position.

In case you thought we were governed by serious people who thought past the next way to use corruption and power dealing to line their own pockets.

Some shooting done too: Grand Power Stribog SP9A3 Delayed Roller Lock 9mm

This is a very nice little gun, OK, not so little:

Chambered in 9 mm and possibly having the least recoil I ever experienced in a “carbine.” And I apologize for not remembering what kind of can has attached, but I am still getting used to shooting guns with them and enjoying the novelty too much.

There are plenty of reviews online so I won’t bore you with specs and it is too early for me to go chasing links. I can tell you it felt very comfortable and it was insanely accurate for a rifle-based pistol. Not a very light gun, but I did not feel it was too heavy, specially compared to a Kriss Vector which is the belle of the ball according to some.

I was told the price for this model/version (less can & red dot) was about $1,100 which does not make it cheap, but it is not unexpected as it looks and feel very well built. No alcoholic monkeys were used in the production of this weapon.

 

When you can tell People are tired of the BS and seek Normality.

While the result did not favor well for Tennessee, the majority of fans were just happy to be back. A packed stadium comes as the spread of COVID-19 remains a concern for many.

Tarah Perry was at the game and says the stadium was packed.

“It was awesome. The crowd was really energetic, and everyone was having a really great time,” Titans fan Tarah Perry said.

A look at the stands and you’ll notice some who chose to wear a mask and others who chose to go without. Perry says overall she felt safe at the game.

“I mean everybody was out and getting back to things, so it was exciting to see it full,” Perry said.

Even the article is more of an admonition rather than plain accusatory finger pointing. Maybe some in the Media are finally getting the idea people are sick and tired of tales of the Boogie Virus Mass Death and the “need” to be properly meek medical and state subjects.

And you wonder who is running the W.H. P.R.

And this one at the 9/11 commemoration.

Obama is like “WTF Joe?”

I cannot doubt that they have to give him scripts and instructions at for every press conference. This is the worse Presidential optics since Richard Nixon decided to debate Kennedy on TV without make up. He even beats Bush puking on that Japanese state dinner.

Your Feel-Good story for Monday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Two men are shot on a bridge in Nashville overnight.
One man has died after being shot on the Shelby Street pedestrian bridge just before 1 a.m. Sunday. The other man shot is claiming self defense.
Metro Nashville police say 36-year-old Benjamin Baker died after being shot in the chest by 20-year-old Marcellus Groves who suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.
Surveillance video shows Baker, armed with a gun and wearing a ski mask, come up behind Baker, before the two exchanged gunfire.

The 20-year-old told police from the hospital that he fired in self defense.

Obviously still “under investigation” but if there is video showing what it is stated, we have ourselves another case of Poor Victim Selection Process with Terminal Consequences.

And now, some more coffee.

Late Sunday music

This is great:

It’s the story of the Game Stop (GME) short sale sabotage done in the style of an Irish folk song that borrows heavily from The Rising of the Moon.

I consider this to be highly appropriate considering that so many Irish folk songs are about the poor Irish rising up against the oppression of the English monarchy.

In this case it’s poor Redditers rising up against the elite brokerage firms.

I love it.
