First the White House Chief of Staff lying that inflation and supply chain problems are rich people problems:

Reality is crushing the Dollar Tree:

Next, here is the Press Secretary saying people are not noticing the price increases:

Reality is Americans are paying an average of $175 more per month and are feeling it acutely:

Things are going very badly for Biden right and and the Administration desperately trying to convince you it’s not.

I’ve never seen lying of this magnitude before.  I fear ever increasing crackdowns as people notice more and more how bad it is as the Administration tries harder and harder to cover it up.

Can anyone explain to me what the carbon footprint of 2H2 + O2 => H20 is?

First this:

NEWS: Today I introduced legislation to ban cargo ships off the Orange County coast.

Ships anchored for weeks and months off our coast likely caused last week’s oil spill. Reports show that the pipe “may have been struck several other times” by ship anchors off the coast.

The SHIP Act would ban cargo ships from idling or anchoring in the coastal waters of Southern California for the next 180 days. It’s time to get the ports working again and get these ships moving and out of our waters. pic.twitter.com/nJ9UI8iAs4

The SHIP Act would send boats back out to sea, preventing them from idling within 24 miles of the coast.

This puts ships way out in deep-water off the California coast.

Ships are not going to want to idle that far out and wait to come to port.

What you are going to see is ships idle off the coast of Asian countries and then traverse the pacific in hopes of arriving at port in time to dock.

This will only stretch the supply chain bottleneck.

But it gets worse.

I was reading and talking to people and some things were brought to my attention that I was unaware of.

CARB bans registration of trucks with engines older than 2010.  All trucks must be certified clean idle.

Moreover, California AB5 hit the independent owner/operator trucking industry hard, costing many of those truckers’ jobs as they were classified as illegal gig workers and forced to become employees or leave employees the state.

As a result there us both a truck and trucker shortage.  Owner/operators, the largest segment of the trucking industry, who also have a tendency to use older equipment, are effectively banned from hauling freight out of California ports.

So even if there were enough dock workers to unload the ships, there are not enough trucks and truckers to haul the unloaded containers away.

California state law has almost single handedly shut down the supply chain that runs into America from across the Pacific.

And you know this Administration and Buttigieg are not going to do anything to relieve the truck and trucker shortage in California.

California is fucking the rest of America to death.

Reader SBD left this very informative link in the post about the Konsberg Mass Murder event.

Kongsberg: Bow and arrow suspect known to Norwegian police – BBC News

Right of the bat, we have heard this crap in the title before (Parkland shooter rings a bell or two), but it gets idiotic after that.

Police had initially confronted the man six minutes after the attack began at 18:12 (16:12 GMT) on Wednesday, but he shot several arrows at the officers and escaped.

Wait, what? How the flock is that even possible unless the attacker was on horseback and the cops afoot?

The police chief said all five victims were most likely killed after officers first encountered him. (Bold is mine)

Oh hell, this is getting worse and worse. What the hell were the cops doing? Issuing strong language?

Police fired warning shots when the man was eventually arrested, but it is not clear if officers were armed when they first came across the suspect. Norwegian police do not usually carry guns on them – weapons are stored at police stations or in their patrol cars.

So we have an unarmed police force, allowed only to fetch their locked guns only after there is a clear violent incident because of reasons. Of course, the issue of innocent civilians being killed and injures is not truly relevant, the dogma policy must be maintained.

The attack was Norway’s deadliest since far-right extremist Anders Behring Breivik murdered 77 people, most of them teenagers, on the island of Utoya in July 2011.

They did not learn from that one, did they?

The attacker allegedly launched the assault inside a Coop Extra supermarket on Kongsberg’s west side. One of those injured was an off-duty police officer who was in the shop at the time.

When even the official “good guy” is not allowed to carry…

After the attack, police officers nationwide were ordered to carry firearms as an extra precaution, but there is “no indication so far that there is a change in the national threat level,

Something about barn doors comes to mind.

Sweet Jesus, if you wanted a vivid example of the failure of BLM’s Police forces castration and Gun Control, we could not have asked for a “better” demonstration.  A frigging bow and arrow?

Always carry.

Police officers across major US cities have abandoned metropolitan hubs in droves, electing to retire or find smaller departments.
The moves occured amid heightened public scrutiny of law enforcement and calls to defund the police. The workplace transition contributed to officer shortages that many city leaders believe will continue to worsen.
Austin and Los Angeles saw more than a 60 percent increase in the number of officers quitting the force. Voluntary retirements hit 131 percent in Cleveland and 70 percent in Pittsburgh. In San Jose, 1 in 9 officers left the police department. One in 12 officers left the Las Vegas police force.

And I see this continuing or getting worse.  Unless the Liberal Intelligentsia thinks they can collapse a city in order to bring troops and finally enforce their dream Socialist dictatorship utopia, there is no sense to allow 100% chaos descend over the population. Of course, if they have a firm grip in the electoral process, they won’t fear to be voted out, but otherwise people will eventually decided to get them out of office via the ballot box. Or is shit get really bad and they refuse to go, the bullet box will be the way they leave office.

And for some reason, my brain keeps bringing this image from a classic movie:

The Model 70 is the hands of an appreciative local whose son is a reader of this blog and wanted him to have it. But another reader had asked first and we were fixing the shipping details but then gallantly released me of duty so the local gentleman could enjoy the old the rifle.

And if that was not enough, another reader hooked me up with one of his 10/22s and a great price so I do not end up screwing at the next Appleseed.

I am humbled to be blessed with great readers. It is true that Gun People are the best and I am proud to be part of this clan.
