Now the Blue Sanctuary cities are turning on each other:
I find this amusing. Incredibly amusing.
It’s great to be all high and mighty and Virtue Signaling until you have to bear the load and pay the cost of what you preach, innit?
By an old member at my range…
That today was the start of “Operation Iceberg”….the start of the Battle for Okinawa.
Just take a minute to reflect on the fact that we can laugh, and joke and prank each other today, but for some back then, it was a different story.
Johns father was lucky…he was only wounded. But he remembers….So should we.
This is the one single day of the year that people actually check what they read on the internet for truthfulness before believing it and reposting.
But just because you think a symbol is hateful or racist, or otherwise offensive is no reason for the law to allow you to force others to not use it.
The man reportedly called the flag a ‘fascist symbol’ and asked to know why it remained up.
I really don’t care that you find a flag or other symbol to be racist or hateful or intimidating…..I find the Black Lives Matter flag, and the LGBTQ flag, offensive…but I will support your right to fly it regardless because that is part of the freedoms we enjoy as US citizens.
People need to be told, at some point, to shut up and go home.
FDNY Deputy Chief Joseph Schiralli needs to be quietly allowed to find another job.
I hope you have friends and family to celebrate it with.
Please, remember why it is a holiday.
Think about those who are serving somewhere that can’t be home for Easter.
And the mask comes off.
Smearing Easter with this stain of Trans.
The egg thing is bad enough, but the absolute insult to the Christian holiday shocking.
Obviously the people pulling Biden’s strings no longer care…either they are sure that they can get him re-elected or they have decided that nothing they do can see him in the white house after this election, so whatever they do no longer matters.
I guess that it is part of Barry Obama’s “Fundamental transformation of America” the he promised..
On this date, in 1911, the iconic pistol that was designed by John Moses Browning was formally adopted.
Still one of the best designs out there, his creation was the platform that nearly all other semi-automatic pistols follow today.
Yes, lots of other designers built upon his work, but his was the first…Slide, tilting barrel, etc.
The “Pistol, Model of 1911” (and later the 1911A1) was used until 1985, when NATO pressure for the US to conform to the 9MM standard meant that another pistol was chosen (The Beretta 92) to replace it.
74 years of service. Not bad.
So if you have an Indiana ID or Drivers license, you can renew your ID via the internet or via their unmanned kisosks…..just pay the $17.50 and get your new ID (with your old photo) but a new expirations date. They mail it to you. You can change everything but your first last name…weight, height, gender, eye color, hair color, etc. Of course, the photo that they have on file is what they will use for you if you don’t go to a License Branch.
Oddly, if you go into the License Branch to renew, they want a piece of mail to show that you live at that address and require that you pass the eye exam…but there is no exam if you renew online or via their self-serve kiosk….Which Of course, shows that a drivers license is not a check on your ability to drive a motor vehicle on the roads safely, but merely another tax upon the citizenry.
If you have a Real ID compliant Drivers License or Identification Card, then that Real ID carries over to your newly issued ID that was renewed over the internet or the unattended machine…Same old photo, just a different expiration date…Unless you wanna change your stats, including gender…
This shows that Real ID is a joke and a waste of time. There is no verification of anything when the renewal happens, and your photo will be at least 6 years old (if under 75)…What good id a Real ID if the data can be changed at any time, and if there is no check on the data used or placed on the card?
Why was HomeLand Security (DHS) involved in the Raid on his houses? Wouldn’t that be the purview of the FBI or the US Marshalls service? (at least , thank God, it wasn’t the ATF) (ETA: This question is answered in comments )
What were they looking for? I mean, allegations of sex trafficking aside (dude partied hard years ago, I got that, but today?) Was this just a reason to trash his house while fishing for some kind of incriminating evidence?
Who is the accuser? Was it his estranged girlfriend of 10 years? Is she credible?
And the real question is : Who did he piss off to get this treatment? Something just doesn’t add up. How did he anger the powers that be on the Left (The Left almost always uses some sort of Sex issue to damage those they are unhappy with: Trump, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Bill Cosby….all had accusations of some sort thrown at them. Often they were convicted in court EVEN AFTER THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS were well past…..It seems to be a tactic of the Leftists (and especially of the black Leftists) to use such things to harass and eventually punish)
Is that what is happening here? I dunno, but it appears to be fitting the pattern we have seen in the past.
