Am I the only one

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….

“Slow is smooth

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)

She’s lucky

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.

 

 

Call, write, email, telegraph if you have to

But tell yer Senators and Congresscritters that they should not give a DIME, not one thin dime, to Ukraine in “aid”.

No money for Gaza or Israel either.

Not the $100 Billion that Joe wants (such a nice round number, easy to divide by ten for a kickback doncha think?), not $1 billion, not $100….not even a  single dollar Nothing. Not a dime . We are broke and cannot afford to water down our dollar further with gifts of money our nation doesn’t have.

Just call ’em and demand they say “No”.

If you need to you can find contact info for your elected officials HERE

I am beginning to think whoever is tellin Slow Joe what to do

Is a disciple of these two:

Between welfare, “entitlements”, government deficits, unneeded government programs (and waste), outrageous and insane amounts of foreign aid, the Biden folks have done much to bring the vision to reality…

 

‘Cause we are well on the way towards the “Breaking” that they wished for…. to get their Redistribution of resources  and a Guaranteed Income.

Of course they were socialists, so there’s that. But the Biden folks are tying very hard to implement their strategy….on your backs.
