Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

The true high cost of College Education.

It is not only the monetary cost to regular folks and taxpayers, but the ignorance of those hired to teach.


Let’s go through his collegiate statement.

The US does not have any national ID system
Kinda sorta right. It is up to the individual states to issue IDs for that state, but it has slowly turned into a national “system” with TRUE ID.

and many states don’t have ID systems
Huh? Is there a State in the union without an ID system? No drivers license? He does not mention which states, probably because he made that up.

Historically, some southern states have put all kinds of requirements to stop black people from voting.
And historically your birthplace sent people to the guillotine without due process and was the proud owner of Devil’s Island. And you would be speaking German if it wasn’t for the racist Southerners that fought to liberate France. But the past is one thing, and the present another.

Some of those are still in place. Requiring an ID that is difficult to obtain, or expensive is one such way to deny people the right to vote.
Well, I am a minority and live in the South. How hard was for me to get a license in Tennessee? I went online (Harsh, I know), made an appointment, showed up at my local licensing office, produced the required documents, paid the exorbitant fee of $28, had my picture taken and went home. It was a crowded day, so I probably spent about 40 minutes total. Got the license in the mail some days later. If I wanted only the State ID, it would have set me back all of $12.  In some locations, you may get charged an extra $4 (I know, the horror) for administrative fee to cover operational costs.

So, a grand total of $16 for an ID that can be used for voting purposes is apparently burdensome and racist. The poor minorities are better off going to the movies than wasting their hard-earned cash on an ID to vote.

Cost of one ticket and basic munchies for a movie in Murfreesboro on this day.

Hmmm… maybe not.

 

 

Catholicism under attack everywhere.

At least 15 people have been killed and two others injured following an attack on a Catholic church in north-eastern Burkina Faso on Sunday.

It took place during Sunday worship in Essakane village in Oudalan province – close to the border with Mali. Few details have been given.
A church official indicated the gunmen were suspected Islamist militants.

Burkina Faso: At least 15 dead in Catholic church attack (bbc.com)

Africs without a doubt is the most dangerous location to be a practicing Catholic. The example above is sadly the rule rather than the exception, but it does not get coverage in the U.S.

Then again, being a Catholic is now a suspicious activity by the Feds.

A conservative government watchdog has released almost 100 pages of FBI documents it says show the agency was not fully forthcoming about its actions surveilling and targeting Catholic churches.

“FBI Director Christopher Wray had told congressmen that the memo was ‘a single product by a single field office,’ but the records uncovered by Judicial Watch show that it was “Reviewed by: OGC/CDC [Office of General Counsel/Chief Deputy Counsel],'” Judicial Watch posted in a press release Friday.

Judicial Watch obtained the documents through a FOIA request related to an internal FBI memo leaked earlier this year, which revealed that the agency had efforts underway to identify and treat Catholics as “potential terrorists.”

“The records also indicate coordination with officials from Portland and Milwaukee,” the press release said.

The FBI Richmond internal memo, titled “Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Presents New Mitigation Opportunities,” was leaked in January and drew instant criticism from Republicans.

It identified “radical-traditionalist Catholic[s]” as potential “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists” and said that “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) in radical-traditionalist Catholic (RTC) ideology almost certainly presents opportunities for threat mitigation through the exploration of new avenues for tripwire and source development.”

A preview of upcoming “attractions”:

In our societal effort to be all inclusive, we have created a safe space for everybody but ourselves and our loved ones.

A mayor attack on a US Catholic church is due. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops will not side with the flock but with the wolves by keeping the sheepdogs away from services and “forgiving” the killers.

I shan’t forgive the killers or the Bishops.

Why do I need an AR 15 and 30 round magazines?

This is going to keep me up all night.

I just found this pic in my computer.

That is my old work bench in Miami and that is a double hook trigger group for AK.

I don’t recall it.

I checked by WSAR and it still has the crappy single hook it came with from Century Arms.

Where the @#*& is that trigger group? I don’t even know where to begin looking for it.

PS: The recoil buffer went to pieces lord knows how long ago and it was all over the inside…. and the gun kept shooting.
