This is why cops are often viewed with suspicion…

So the cops show up on a warrant search. (all good so far)

While there, they somehow find a deer that was raised as a fawn after her mom was hit by a car. Deer has been staying around rather than leave…. Decide to shoot the deer “because it was domesticated” and “regular people can’t have a deer as a pet”.

So they shot the deer. How is this better for anyone? It certainly isn’t for the deer, or the people of the neighborhood…Why didn’t the cops (as WE are so often told we should do) go through the courts?

This is the sort of incident where the community should come together and beat a solution, if you know what I mean.

I mean, when one leaks hundreds of tax returns for wealthy individuals (especially Donald Trump!) then of course the DOJ would let him go with as little penalty as possible. That’s how our two tiered justice system works, innit? You are either one of the favored or you are one of the punished. He did the Liberal /Democrat world a favor, and is thus rewarded with a sentence as light as possible.

In a just world he’d be in jail for tens of years, and his worldly possessions would be forfeit.. But that’s not how the Department of Justice really works, is it?

The thing is, those media outlets who published the data should also be liable….and they haven’t been touched, as far as I know.

(apparently the Doc wasn’t feeling well).

So I had the afternoon free.

I chose to go to the beach. Weather was 60 degrees with a wind from the south(ish). Perfect “walk the beach” weather. (Yes, ladies, some guys really do like Long Walks on the Beach…)

I took a backpack, some grocery bags for trash pickup, a bottle of water and a sweatshirt.

By the time I was 100 yds down the beach the sweatshirt was in the backpack. It was nearly perfect, weather-wise. I hadn’t been on that particular beach in nearly 6 months. Central beach, just west of Michigan City, if you care to know. Last time I was there the beach was about 50 feet wide (if that) in most places. This time it was easily 150 YARDS wide. Such are the vagaries of wind, current and tide.

Picked up a bit of beach glass, communed with the Gods, and relaxed a whole bunch. Surprisingly, there was nearly no trash to pick up.  But the walk was good, Very good. Like a walk in the woods for some folks, a walk on the beach helps me recharge and relax.

‘Twas a good afternoon.

If yer going to McDonalds looking for Healthy Food choices, you are missing the point….

Nutritionists name their five healthiest McDonald’s go-to items on the menu – and why the Egg McMuffin is better for you than the chain’s oatmeal

Have ya noticed that the Ukrainian Flag is suddenly gone from a lot of shit?

Almost like they are old news. Now no one is pushing us to “Support Ukraine”. One would think that if they really meant it as more than just a bit of virtue signaling that it’d still be out there.

But it ain’t. So take it for what that is worth. Just a Fad, they didn’t really mean it or anything. Like Fashion, it’s gone when something new comes along.

That notices that both CNN and CBS have interviewed the same person more or less every day since the Gaza debacle began?

And that the young woman interviewed is clean, well dressed in a different outfit every day, and does not appear to be starving?

Odd, that. Very odd. That’s not the life they tell us the “Palestinians” are leading right now….

And smooth is fast”

Was at the range Sat afternoon planning on shooting at the bowling pin range but when I got there, one of our newer (and younger) members was already on the outdoor range.

Not a big deal, I shot at the 12 yard line alongside him instead rather than wait for him to be finished (the two ranges are not separate and one cannot be safe on the bowling pin range when others are on the 12 yd line), and had some fun. I hadn’t shot at the 12 yard line for a long time….I’m generally either 7 yds or 25 yds with a pistol.

He was amazed that I could pull from a holster and do double taps as fast as I could (and I am not at all fast compared to some folks that I know). . I explained that there were two parts to being able to do that……repetition to develop the muscle memory and practice at doing it smoothly. Plus lots of practice to keep that skill alive. We worked though the mechanics of the draw so he could get smoother at it.

I quoted the Seal Mantra: “Slow is smooth and smooth is fast”. Oddly, he’d never heard that before.

But it is true.

Then I drove home while he waited (I only live 8 minutes or so away from the range) and brought back my Coolfire Trainer for him to look at and try.  He liked it, even though he shoots a Glock and I shoot a 1911….

But with that trainer, I can practice draw and fire in my hallway at home. For about 0.1% of the cost of live ammo. ‘Taint a perfect simulation, but it certainly helps with the muscle memory and the double taps.

I think he’s gonna invest in one soon.

We did have fun, and he did improve (as did I) with a bit of practice. Kid has potential. I burned 150 rounds of White Box 230G and earned a blister on my finger.

(And I got the training device years ago as a birthday gift, so the FTC can kiss my ass)

That the crowd was somewhat civilized.

In other parts of town they’d have beaten her to death for her actions.

Chicago Police rushed Alderwoman Julia Ramirez away from Mayor Brandon Johnson’s proposed site of a “migrant tent city” in Brighton Park after local residents gathered Thursday to vociferously oppose the project.

This story got scant seconds of coverage on the Chicago TV News stations. The fact that the citizens of Chicago DON’T WANT the migrants housed in their neighborhoods. They’ve seen what happens when these illegal border crossers are housed in the areas they already are. Crime, violence etc. No one wants these folks in their home turf.

But Poland doesn’t have the terrorism nor the crimes committed by Muslims”

So fuck off and send them somewhere else.

Poland MP TRASHES reporter about illegal immigration “Refugees”.

Seems that most Americans would not buy an Electric Vehicle today.

57% “Not Likely”, only 17% “somewhat Likely”

More Republicans that Democrats said “Hell No”. Poor folks said “NO” more often as well.

Lots of opposition to EV’s.

I guess the Feds are gonna have to force the issue.

Oughta be interesting when they do.
