I caught this online.  The important points are screen grabbed because the article is behind the NYT pay wall.

I’m a simple man, making my way in the world.

To me, if I’m walking my dog on a leash and you spray me with a bottle of possible and then attack us with a stick, I’m going to shoot you in the liver.

I really don’t care about your race, your financial situation, your privilege or history of oppression.

Neither do my 135 grain Gold Dots.

The places where I have chosen to live don’t generally have a problem with piss and club armed vagrants who attack people and murder their dogs because we don’t trouble ourselves with the moral quandary of how to consider irrelevant details about violent people prior to defending ourselves.

But in the Progressive shit hole that is New York, self defense is non existent.

The protection of innocent people must be compromised against such considerations like injustice against a dog murdering, piss spraying vagrant because of his race and other factors.

So while the Progressives turn on each other in their desire to seem virtuous by exonerating Captain Pissbottle McMumblesToHimself, the vagrant in question is able to murder more dogs and spray more women with piss.

In my neck of the woods, the dog murdering, piss bottling vagrants is in prion or an unmarked municipal grave.

Either way, that problem is solved.

I may not be a sophisticated Progressive, but I also don’t have to worry as much about getting sprayed with piss and my dog beat to death when I take her for a walk.

Meanwhile, in Chicago… https://t.co/zSXotN0P1T

You have to understand what this officer is dealing.

He knows that there is nothing this woman can do to him that would be worse than him, as a white male police officer, geting caught on video being violent with a naked black woman.

She could steal his patrol car and run him over with it and that would be less damaging to his career than manhandling her.

This made me light headed.

Another astonishing clip from the Cato Institute event today, this one from the influential Adam Posen, head of the Peterson Institute. He says a focus on domestic manufacturing is simply a “fetish for keeping white males with low education in the powerful positions they are in.” pic.twitter.com/ii4F0ssAjY

Simply put, a nation cannot survive,  let one be strong, if it doesn’t have a strong manufacturing base.

Just like a nation cannot survive,  let one be strong, if it doesn’t have strong agriculture.

This guy might as well say “the only reason to support domestic farming is to support working class white men.”

A nation cannot depend on resources from around the world to survive.

We are watching that happen right now when we voluntarily shut down domestic energy production and began relying on the rest of the world for fuel.

We have become weaker as we relied more and more on overseas manufacturing.

It’s insufficient just to have domestic manufacturing of things you cannot manufacture overseas, like military equipment.

Those workers come from somewhere.  We need domestic manufacturing just to maintain a domestic worker skill set and reserve of people.

But this guy doesn’t care about the stability or strategic position of a nation.

He us shilling for Wall Street executives who would be happy to outsource every last job they could to pocket the profits for themselves.

If you resist and push back against that, he calls you a racist with a fetish for protecting uneducated white men.

Let’s all be totally dependent on China for all production for equity.

If Libertarian economics means outsourcing all of your means of production to China so a bunch of Wall Street executives can get rich and then call everyone who objects racists, I’m gonna become a fascist.

The first 48 hours of the J.Kb administration will include the woodchippering of all DC think tanks.

Remember back in the days of mean Tweets and $2 gas, the Left was saying that President Trump was going to start a nuclear war?

That turned out to be another case of projection.

Here are some things to consider.

The Ukrainian President is begging NATO to preemptively nuke Russia.

NEW – Ukraine's Zelensky calls on NATO to launch "preemptive strikes" against Russia to "eliminate the possibility" of a Russian nuclear strike.https://t.co/gj6mSRZfFF

I joked about this earlier, but the Huffington Post published an article titled Could A Small Nuclear War Reverse Global Warming?

Then there is this news from today from The Hill:

US purchases $290 million of drug for use in radiological and nuclear emergencies

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) says it has spent $290 million on a drug to treat radiation sickness in the event of a nuclear emergency.

The HHS Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response announced in a Tuesday release that it bought the drug Nplate from Amgen USA Inc. “as part of long-standing, ongoing efforts to be better prepared to save lives following radiological and nuclear emergencies.”

That seems sudden…

This feels like we’re being primed for a small nuclear war.

Joe Biden really wanted to be the second coming of FDR.

One of the longstanding myths of American 3is that WWII got us out of the Great Depression.

What if Biden and his think tank are trying to cause WWIII to pull us out of the Great Recession?

I’m going to keep watching the news but if I start to see articles on how a little nuclear war could fix various economic problems, you can put money on them trying to start a nuclear war.

Yup, we’re gonna get nuked.

The new narrative used in attacking Governor DeSantis is that he failed to call for an evacuation of Lee County until it was too late.

DeSantis has pushed back saying that the projections at the time didn’t show Lee County in the strike path of the danger zone of the hurricane until 21 hours before landfall.  At which point he told Lee County to evacuate.

DeSantis is correct about the timeline of the storm and evacuation orders, but the Leftist media has to do their thing and destroy him anyway.

The worst of these types are fact checkers, especially the assholes over at Politifact.

Most of Lee County was outside the cone of prediction, including most of Lee County’s population.  But a small, sparsely populated island hanging off the corner of the County pit into the gulf was in the path, therefore Lee County was ackchyually in the path of the hurricane and do DeSantis was mostly wrong and completely evil.

This is such mendacious bullshit.

The purpose isn’t to fact check DeSantis, the purpose is to destroy DeSantis with hacks operating under the cover of impartial fact checkers.

Man Makes $21,000 Bringing 3D-printed Guns To New York Gun Buyback Event https://t.co/X8pTw1QRyn

— Newsradio WTAM 1100 (@wtam1100) October 4, 2022

From the article in the Tweet:

The man, only identified as Kem, told WKTV that he used a $200 3D printer to print the lower receivers and drove over 6 hours to sell them back to the police.

When Kem arrived, he told officers he had 110 lower receivers to turn in and had to negotiate a price for the homemade parts, which are considered a firearm by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

Eventually, officials agreed to give him $21,000 in gift cards.

A spokesperson for New York Attorney General Letitia James blasted Kem for taking advantage of the gun buyback event, which was sponsored by her office.

“It’s shameful that this individual exploited a program that has successfully taken thousands of guns off the streets to protect our communities from gun violence. We have partnered with local police throughout the state to recover more than 3,500 guns, and one individual’s greedy behavior won’t tarnish our work to promote public safety. We have adjusted our policies to ensure that no one can exploit this program again for personal gain,” the statement said.

“I’m sure handing over $21,000 in gift cards to some punk kid after getting a bunch of plastic junk was a rousing success,” Kem said. “Gun buybacks are a fantastic way of showing, number one, that your policies don’t work, and, number two, you’re creating perverse demand. You’re causing people to show up to these events, and they don’t actually reduce crime whatsoever.”

I see a lot of people going all “yassss queen” for this guy.

I understand the sentiment, but he fucked over New York for $21,000.

Do you honestly think they will let him get away with that.

I can guarantee that the AG’s office is figuring out what to charge him with.

Remember, NY has one of the strongest ghost gun bans in the country, so if he didn’t serialize them, that’s 110 ghost guns.

If he did, I could see him being charged for manufacturing without a license.

The state won’t take it on the chin and let themselves be embarrassed by a guy with a 3D printer.

New World Record Set for Farthest Long-Range Rifle Shot: 4.4 Miles

The long-range shooting world record was broken yet again when a team of spotters and a shooter hit a target at 4.4 miles (7,744 yards) in the Wyoming desert earlier this month. The marksmanship feat was orchestrated by Scott Austin and Shepard Humphries, who run Nomad Rifleman, a long-range shooting school out of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Together with a group of friends they spent several hours launching bullets downrange before connecting on their 69th shot, according to a release on Nomad Rifleman’s website.

Making that many shot attempts isn’t unusual when trying to set records of this type. Humphries noted that the previous record, a four-mile shot made by Paul Phillips in 2019, required 69 attempts as well before the shooter connected.

The target they shot at was constructed of thin sheet metal and measured 10 feet wide by 7.6 feet tall. It was also placed at a steep angle so it would be more in line with the fall of the bullet as it came back to earth. The target’s dimensions (120 inches by 92 inches) made it 1.54 MOA wide and 1.18 MOA tall at 4.4 miles.

The rifle is a custom built 416 Barrett.  They sunk over 1,500 man hours into modifying everything, including the optic, to pull this off.

But they did.

It’s not a reasonable shot for the vast majority of people to take, but consider what it means for a person to be able to reach out and touch a target at what is typically air strike or artillery distances.
