Besides the usual and highly organized election cheating schemes being prepared, there is the self-destruction pattern we are seeing.

I have already stated that I was not planning to vote for Trump. Very early on, I felt that he was directing more (and unnecessarily) attacks to DeSantis than to any Democrat including Biden. If you do not live in Florida, you may be swayed to think by what the MAGA train said that DeSantis is some sort of camouflaged RINO, but I believe Trump felt out staged by how well DeSantis did during COVID and how he had the guts to stand and do the right thing rather than follow what D.C. was telling him to do. Trump hates being out-staged and outsmarted.

But what I am seeing now is that the MAGA Inner Party, or at least they official war dogs are in full fledge attack mode against anybody who did not support Trump from the get-go or has any criticism of him, valid or not. They are basically imposing some sort of purity test for Republicans and those who fail shall be branded Enemies of MAGA and treated accordingly.  Just peruse Laura Loomer’s X/Twitter account and the bile she is spewing. Her friends and acolytes may even be worse.

They are not interested in getting everybody under one political tent, but rather to build a moat for the selected ones. And this is making people rethink their choices when it comes to pressing the lever come November. Will they vote for Biden or whatever last-minute candidate the Dems select? No, but I already know some who simply will not give their vote to Trump either or anybody else. And they do not have to be millions of people overall, but enough thousands in particular locations to ensure losing an electoral vote.

And I believe that is happening.

Fucking great day when you realize you are hated by the Left in general and also by some of those who are supposed to be on your side of the Constitution.

But if nobody hates you, then you are not doing your duty.

…and acting stupid. Come fetch it.

Piece of advice: don’t.

GTFO is the right strategy.

I haven’t ventured out since probably 2 pm yesterday.

House temp is the bottom one. Yes, a tad low but by orders of the missus that is the way it should be. Except the bathroom is to be kept at 90 degrees.

Traffic has been composed of a few vehicles with off-road capabilities and one snowplow that drove by around midafternoon. Nobody is out driving-biking-walking, even the Walking Meths have not come out of their lair.

When is daylight, I may venture out to check final snow accumulation. We are supposed to have a couple of snow-free but cold as hell days, then some more of the white crap on Thursday, clear for the weekend and a possible low of zero-fucking-degrees.

TWO OF THE REASONS I WON’T BE AT THE SHOT SHOW THIS YEAR | (backwoodshome.com)

Hotels are being openly hostile to Gun People and for some reason (contract?) NSSF still insists on doing business with them.

I believe you can have 2 SHOT shows a year (Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Arizona, etc) and make it productive for the companies. Hell, they can actually sell tickets and people would buy them.

Or they can simply go very big and share the same locations with the NRA Annual Meeting: One weekend NSSF and then open up for NRA members and visitors.

And I have the feeling Las Vegas will become a San Francisco within a decade as online gambling is now a thing.  Might as well leave now.

Waking up to this. About 2 inches and expected 3 more later today. I checked the road and there is a pretty later of frigging ice under the snow.

Work already cancelled us for the day. And I believe tomorrow won’t be any better.

In other news, I believe J Kb, Hagar and AWA are recreating the Ice Age in their respective zip codes.

Everybody stay safe! And that include my Floridians… you warm bastards!
