In my backyard….

The school folks once again show their liberal bias:

Young marine banned from High School Graduation ceremony because he was wearing his marine uniform. 

I’m thinkin’ Immna call the Mayor and, if I can find ’em, the members of the school board and ask why Principal Chip Pettit is still employed.

Liberals. It is disease of the mind.

Update:
The mayor’s office refused to comment except that it wasn’t his responsibility, but rather that of the school board…. and NO ONE at the school board was “In” today. Odd, that.

I did leave Voicemails, but really don’t expect any response. Apparently there are a LOT of calls about this, according to the lady who was on the switchboard. 

So Comey’s testimony

Amounted to……

Nothing. ?.?
If the Donald did anything immoral, illegal, or in any other way bad, no one can find a way to pin anything on him.

This whole debacle was a big to do about nothing, and it appears to have been designed to gin up some bad thoughts about the President among the uninformed and the DNC voters (but
I repeat myself).

I fail to see what the benefit of all of this was. Those open minded folks who look at facts will either support the President or not according to his actions. The Democrats already hated Trump so there was no gain there. The Republican voters disliked the Democratic politicians, now they dislike them even more…The TDS folks aren’t rational, so they really don’t matter anyway.

I fail to see the point in all this, except to give the talking head pundits something to pontificate about. The DNC folks won nothing (and now look foolish), the RNC folks gained nothing, and TheDonald came out of this stronger than before.

Dark of moon,

6 of June

1944.

The Normandy Landings begin.

Operation Overlord has begun.

D-Day.

The beginning of the end for Germany.

Remember. 

London terror aftermath:

12 people were arrested.

12.

Ten plus two.

How is it that the cops knew how (and who) to arrest just hours after such an attack?

How is it that they couldn’t stop this, if they knew who was aiding these folks?

I mean, it isn’t like they are questioning the terrorists that the police shot dead, izzit?

Where did the leads they followed up on for the arrests come from?

These boys were known to the authorities, or else they’d still be trying to identify them….and the Government folks wouldn’t have been this far in any investigation. 

‘Twas a great performance

Had dinner and a concert with my parents and MC in Chicago…

Beautiful afternoon for parking and walking in Wriglyville for dinner and then to the concert.

Early dinner at Mia Francesca.

Then a short walk to the theater to get in line for the concert.

Security at the entrance was a joke. But the security folks did put on a great show….Everyone got scrutinized, patted down, and purses and bags searched….It was, as I said, a great show of security…..

I DID smuggle two knives in, just to see if I could.

Not huge ones, but they could have been.

Hell, I could have carried a 1911 and at least 3 mags, the personal body search was so perfunctory….
Probably not a backpack full of nails though, they were checking backpacks and purses for bottles of alcohol (didn’t want competition for the bar inside).

Event Security during the concert was vigilant, however. Gotta give props for that. I’m not sure what good unarmed security can do, but they WERE watching everyone.

The Rodrigo y Gabriela concert was a good one. Good warm up by Ryan Sheridan and a great performance by the headliners.

All in all a great evening.

I think the Splodey Jihadi types were busy elsewhere….

Quote for the day:

” ‘Tis better to run out of Tangoes than to run out of ammo

A good thought for today’s world….Especially when some of those unvetted Somali refugees recently brought here get with someone from Dearbornistan for support and radicalize some second generation muslims here in the US and start their own brand of shenanigans….

It has already happened: San Bernardino, Orlando, etc (ETA 9-11-01 how could I forget that?). The media has done all they can to discount it, along with the Feds, but you know it for what it is….

Doesn’t have to be Guns or Explosives either, as we have seen in Europe. Trucks, bombs, knives. They all work. Even poison gasses or poisons in water can be used…..if you are a monster….

But here is the thing. If you cower in fear, they win. I am going to a concert tonight in Chicago. There, I have to be unarmed, as they don’t have reciprocity with Indiana (or anyone, I think). I’m not going to miss my concert just because some Islamic Jihadist terrorists have been successful elsewhere.

Otherwise, they win by default. 

Gunshow report:


The day was wonderful. Arrived at 11:00 local Saturday. Sunny, Warm, Temps in the upper 70’s. No line at the door.

Lots of ammo, even rimfire. Pricing was better, but not good. I expect that it will continue to decrease a bit.

Nearly anything for sale. Pistols and rifles and all, new or used. Pricing on new was better as well. Lots of AR stuff, pricing was decent if not good.

Few bargains to be found, however.

Attendance was less than expected. I know a fair percentage of the vendors at that show, and they were surprised at the poor attendance. Some folks didn’t think they’d break even.

I didn’t see many buyers. The weather may have affected the attendance some, but even if it were raining I doubt that the venue would have been full. he interest just doesn’t seem to be there now that there is a Second-Friendly Republican in the White House.

I came home with 98.73% of the cash I took. I did order a stock for a project rifle I will be starting.
