Sunday Pre-Eclipse Funny
Wherever the path of the eclipse, hotels, motels, camping places and whatever free space is being occupied by people going batshit about it. I have family in Middle Tennessee and they say that the last time they had these many assholes from out-of-town, they were wearing blue uniforms.
USS Indianapolis found
Seventy-five years after two torpedoes fired from a Japanese submarine sunk cruiser USS Indianapolis (CA-35), the ship’s wreckage was found resting on the seafloor on Saturday – more than 18,000 feet below the Pacific Ocean’s surface. Paul Allen, Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist, led a search team, assisted by historians from the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) in Washington, D.C., to accomplish what past searches had failed to do – find Indianapolis, considered the last great naval tragedy of World War II.
“To be able to honor the brave men of the USS Indianapolis and their families through the discovery of a ship that played such a significant role in ending World War II is truly humbling,” said Allen in a statement provided to USNI News on Saturday.
“As Americans, we all owe a debt of gratitude to the crew for their courage, persistence and sacrifice in the face of horrendous circumstances. While our search for the rest of the wreckage will continue, I hope everyone connected to this historic ship will feel some measure of closure at this discovery so long in coming.”
Nothing I can say will ever beat one of the best movie speeches ever written. Words by John Millius and delivered by Robert Shaw.
In a way, welcome home.
DOJ Strangles Operation Choke Point. Good Riddance.
“All of the Department’s bank investigations conducted as part of Operation Chokepoint are now over, the initiative is no longer in effect, and it will not be undertaken again,” Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd said in the Aug. 16-dated letter, calling it a “misguided initiative” from the prior administration.

This is what an ignorant looks like.
I caught this crap in a friend’s post.
This is what a crappy educational system where World History is no longer required looks like.
I could not help myself so I tossed a couple of memes her way.
And before I leave, a Public Service announcement from GFZ:
Remember, don’t take either side, just take head shots.
Why “Shall Issue”?
Ok, so I found a lawyer that can get me a Maryland CCW. A buddy that trains Marylanders in the mandatory CCW course knows someone that will get regular peeps that aren’t carrying cash for work, or are threatened on the daily in documented form, the toter’s permit.100% success rate.Only will cost me $3000.Hmph.Maybe hold off for now.

Because there is good people that cannot afford $3,000. Because there is good people who do not know the “right” person that will get them a permit. Because it breeds corruption and elitism.
And before you jump into the “Muh Rights! Constitutional Carry or Nothing!” understand that you will probably remain at nothing in places like Maryland.
Don’t be a Dudley.
