Gun Free Zone

I keep looking for good news, but can’t find a thing anywhere. In fact, what I am getting is we will be lucky if ammo starts to appear at decent numbers sometime mid 2021.

So I did a quick check up (again) of my reloading supplies and dropped some coin on a couple of items I was short. I was somewhat surprised that you could sill find reloading supplies at all.  The bad news is that Reloading kits are scarce or plain out of of stock.  Both Dillon and Lee kits are gone from the shelves of places like Midway USA.

Can you still think about reloading? yes, an as usual, I will start with the basic: Get a book Like The ABC of Reloading so you can get an idea what it is involved and if you feel like doing it. It will also serve you as guide to figure out what you need to do your own kit and what to get, from press to primers.

Or better yet, you really do not feel like it is something you want to do, and then you are only out less than $20.

On this one, we go opposite.

Many models of Goodyear tires are made in the US.  Goodyear is one of Akron’s largest employers and Ohio is a swing state.

Who the fuck wants to get elected President of the United States and calls for a boycott on an American company that hires American workers in a  swing state?

Trump did more than that: he rang a bell from the Bully Pulpit announcing that employment in a company cannot be used as to force people into political indoctrination.

Because is what was happening: A company mandate to accept a group that is at best anarchist and would not mind seeing them collapsed and at worse, a urban terror group.

Unacceptable to support Law Enforcement.
Unacceptable to value all lives regardless of color or denomination or orientation
Unacceptable to have any political position or personal unless is the one approved by the company.
You will be allowed employment only if you drink the Kool-Aid flavor of the year.

This was just an attempt from Goodyear to be Woke and join the club with a degree of subtlety. If anybody asked, they could show the HR slides from the Powerpoint as proof they have done their duty to the Party and avoid the bad press and the drop in income.

The President was right to shine a big nasty spotlight on their asses and screw with the bottom line they were worried about. And it may help other companies think twice about going Woke and indoctrinate its employees.

If you haven’t followed the news, there was some “anti-racism” employee training in Goodyear’s Kansas factory that was anti-cop and anti-white.  It was leaked to the internet and hell broke loose.

I’m not going to dissect it because it’s the same woke bullshit we’ve seen countless times.

Trump responded because they banned MAGA apparel from the workplace.

Don’t buy GOODYEAR TIRES – They announced a BAN ON MAGA HATS. Get better tires for far less! (This is what the Radical Left Democrats do. Two can play the same game, and we have to start playing it now!).

Trump has called for a boycott of Goodyear.

All I can say is Trump really fucked this one up.  Seriously.  Holy shit, I didn’t think he could fuck a gift horse in the mouth, but he did.

There are times where I like Trump being Trump, this is not one of them.

Many models of Goodyear tires are made in the US.  Goodyear is one of Akron’s largest employers and Ohio is a swing state.

Who the fuck wants to get elected President of the United States and calls for a boycott on an American company that hires American workers in a  swing state?

A fucking dipshit, that’s who.

But before you jump on me for “Trump needs to respond to this,” I agree.  He needs to do it with tact, something he sorely lacks.

The correct response is NOT to call for a boycott of Goodyear.

The correct response is to defend the good, honest, hardworking blue-collar, unionized workers in the factory and to say he wants to protect their jobs.

The correct response is to go after upper-level management and HR that forces this woke shit on employees.

Tell the public he’s going to have the DOJ investigate them for discrimination.  If Goodyear “go woke, go broke” then perhaps he can set precedence that corporate virtue signaling by management is a breach of fiduciary duty.

Do everything in his power to show that Goodyear workers on the factory floor are the victims of executive wokeness.

A boycott only hurts the workers, who get laid off when people stop buying tires but doesn’t hurt management who float away on golden parachutes.

That’s what Trump needs to fix.  The system needs to be that management that makes these decisions get their balls skewered and grilled like shishkabob while the line workers continue to have jobs and get paid.

If Trump could do that he would be a God-damned hero.  Finally, a policy that cuts the strings form the golden parachutes and protects the workers.

But he didn’t do that.  He risked the jobs of factory workers in a swing state.

If Ohio turns on him, it’s all his fault for being a tactless dick-head.

And of course, this doesn’t solve the problem with woke, virtue-signaling management, because they never feel the pain they cause.

Show me one politician who runs on a platform of:

“When executive management makes bad decisions that harm companies, I will make sure it’s that management that suffers and not the workers who just tried their best to do their jobs.”

Pull that off and Americans will repeal the 22nd Amendment to keep that guy in office forever.

Ouch.

You get to forgive their sins because of The Madalorian and they turn around and give us this applesauce version of a great book which already has a great movie attached to it.

This looks and smells like a Lysol-treated film, all nice and clean, everything looking pretty even the bad stuff.

Now just take a gander at the intro of the original movie. You know you are headed for some nasty stuff, just like it happened in real life.

And, of course, the original had The Right Stuff: Chuck Yeager himself.

Disney, just make movies with Princess and shed the money for the second season of The Mandalorian. Leave the good mov9ies alone.

This was done via browser translator, but you still will get the idea. From El Nacional newspaper:

Zodi is a what they call a military district which now “legally” overrides the once constitutional powers of States. So. the boss of the military district that encompasses the city of Cumana has ordered for hearses to have a boy on board so they can be eligible to buy gasoline.

You are at a funeral home and the casket of a loved one is loaded in a hearse for the final trip to the cemetery. On the way to the final resting place, they have to go to the gas station, wait in line (probably hours) and once they manage to get to the pumps, they will have to open the rear door, pull the coffin and show there is a body inside so the sale can finally proceed.  I am sure this will go lovely with the relatives of the deceased.

Of course, if you want to avoid this, the family should bring a jerry can with gas as for of payment which probably has been filled at the same gas station after a generous contribution has been made to the local military authority.

Viva la fucking Revolucion.

Let’s summarize: She was already upset, fell off the second floor, went back upstairs to beat on the husband, cops arrive and she chases them out of the building and they make a hasty retreat.

This is a seriously pissed off wife.
