So 8 adults were shot in a “Family Friendly” Martin Luther King celebration…

Funny how that works, innit?

Wonder what MLK would say about that behavior?

Of course, I have found that very few black people have actually studied the life and writings of Reverend King. (yeah, I know, it is racist of me to point that out….)

Seems to me that it is….when the politicians let it be.

We are judged, in this country, mostly, not on the color of our skin, but rather our deeds and actions.

“judged by the color of their skin but by their character”.

And mostly, that is true. While some people (generally white Liberals and aided by Black power mongers) try to make excuses for black criminals, generally black people and white people and hispanic people are judged more or less the same. The fact that different racial groups have different level of good and bad deeds and good and bad actors, makes little difference when judged under the color of law, at least.

Individuals may not do so, but our system of laws mostly does treat everyone equally. It isn’t perfect, and there are exceptions….but we have come a long way from 1963. The equality of opportunity is there, if people are willing to do the work required. Often, aspiring black people have an even higher level of opportunity than whites.

There is a path upwards for all races, for all people, from whatever economic status….. the path is no longer “from a smaller ghetto to a larger one”.

Despite what the DNC says when confronted with voter verification, it is no longer true that “a colored person in Mississippi cannot vote and a colored person in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote”.

In today’s reality, it is possible (assuming the Black hatemongers will allow it) for “little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers”. For the most part, the white racist militants have been squelched, if not silenced. Sadly, not so the other way….but not that many people listen to those folks, no matter what their race.

Is it perfect? No. Are there prejudiced whites? Yes. Are there prejudiced and racist black people? Yes. Are they the majority? Not in most places.

Mostly, the Dream is alive and well and gaining ground. Is there more to do? Yes, and much of it must be done by black people, black culture…..Whites cannot do everything to make the change. Everyone needs to step up. Many have, on both sides.

If the Race Baiters would shut up, progress would be even greater.

True story:

So I am at the usual Thursday range meetup/hangout/Bullseye shoot/bitchfest….

One of the guys, Bob, is eating Gummy Bears. He has one go down the wrong pipe and starts coughing, trying to get it out of his trachea. He’s not choking, but he does have an airway restriction. He’s still able to breath, but not fully.

He doesn’t want me to do the Heimlich maneuver (and honestly, he’s a really fat large dude, not sure I could do it on a guy that big around), so we all watched him carefully until he finally coughed up the Gummi Bear. .

He thanks us for the concern, and we all go back to what we were doing before

We told him that if he had died we were just gonna tell everyone that he was “killed by a bear” and leave it at that…..

They just keep finding more and more “Misplaced” classified documents.around Slow Joe 

One wonders how they all suddenly appear at once. I mean, 6 years after Biden was VP and they are just now cleaning out his office? (first batch) His garage (second batch) and now “In the Biden Home” (third batch…All within a few months. Strange, innit?

While I expect nothing will come of it (this is Joe Biden, after all) the timing is strange. All at once….almost as if someone was setting up a campaign to make him look bad. (not that he needs help, but still). This is looking like the destruction of Harvey Weinstein or Bill Cosby. Slow, methodical, and deliberate discoveries after discoveries in the press, with only a few days in between.

Could they be getting ready to get rid of Slow Joe? Or are they simply neutering him so he won’t run again?

Either way, like the vote counting on election night, something doesn’t look right here.

It was bad enough that the Feds, under Biden, sold off our Strategic Reserve of crude oil… to keep pricing down to make the economy look good….it weakened the country…

But now there is another problem:

It seems that no one is willing to meet the Federal Government’s specifications for oil to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.…in either oil quality OR price. (Plus the fact that the budget from Congress for refilling will only allow purchasing enough oil at today’s prices to pay for about a third of what was sold)

So there is gonna be a (probably very longish) delay in refilling the first 180 million barrels of the 220 total that were sold to artificially bring prices down so that people wouldn’t be (as) angry at Joe, the Ho, and Congress in the months leading up to the Mid-Term elections.

The easy and best way to have done it (we shouldn’t have done it at all, really) would have been to have sold the oil to DOMESTIC oil companies at a set price…and part of that sale (should have been a public auction!) should have been a promise (and a requirement) for those buyers to sell oil of the proper grades back to the SPR at a (much lower) set price within a set time frame.

As it is, oil was sold on the open market….to lots of companies, including those of our adversaries…..But hey, 10% and all that, right?

California can’t seem to ever be happy. This past week or so they got the rain they have been asking for.

Now they are unhappy about it.

Seems that it is always like this.

Then: Whah! we aren’t getting enough rain. Drought! Unfair!! Klimate Change! We need Federal Help!!

Now: Too much rain! Landslides! Mudslides, Unfair! Klimate Change! We need Federal Help!

It never stops, does it?

I mean, places like Arizona and New Mexico are consistent. “Too Dry!” and Washington (state) is ‘Too Wet!….but they say that all the time.

California is NEVER happy. Plus it is always Climate Change/Glowbal Warming/CO2/Ozone/etc causing the issues that they don’t like…..It could never be what the rest of us call “weather”…sometimes it is hot, sometimes it is cold, sometimes more water falls, some years less….But not in California.

I just wish they’d stop whining about it.

(Of course, if they’d manage their stormwater in Southern California, they’d have lots of water to work with, but they just let it run into the ocean.….)

Second batch of classified documents that Biden apparently forgot about as they clean out his offices from when he was VP.……..Are they gonna raid all of Biden’s offices and homes?

Where is the “Special Consul” like they had for The Donald about the documents at Mar-A -Lago?

Or is the DOJ determined to be as blatantly partisan as we all believed they were?

And innit funny how only find out about the documents AFTER the midterms…..?

Congress is set to vote to stop sales of Strategic Petroleum Reserve to China.

This should have been part of things from the start.

On the one hand, oil is fungible, and putting that oil on the market did decrease the overall price of oil (and therefore gasoline and diesel and heating oil) by creating a surplus.

On the other hand, since much of the oil sold went to Chinese companies, they bought it for use in China…..no doubt garnering some money for Hunter Biden and other cronies….(and “The Big Guy”).

Using the SPR in the US might be arguably (although a stretch) a Strategic move economically…selling it to our adversaries is not. Of course, at this time, thanks to Slow Joe, our strategic reserves are very low…and China’s reserves are very high…..which may be feature, not a bug.

Hopefully, our legislators will put a stop to this. We shall see.

Seems that the FAA has some sort of IT issue. The NOTAM system has broken.

Without NOTAMS, a pilot cannot legally fly anywhere, as this is part of the “All available information” that he/she is required to have before flying from anywhere to anywhere else….commercial flight or private flight.

But Transportation Secretary “Mayor Pete” is, as usual, nowhere to be found and as useless as ever.

So the Illinois government is passing (has passed) an “Assault Weapons Ban”… Apparently the cities and blue counties were able to garner enough votes to overcome the rural areas….

And part of the ban will require that the existing “Assault Weapons” in the hands of legal, law-abiding citizens must be “Certified”…..call it like it is. Registered.  (I expect that the downstate areas…outside of Chicago and the collar counties… will have a very low compliance rate) 

But they lie and use different words…..because the real intent can’t face the light.

Here is one of the ads supporting the legislation. I bet it plays well in Chicago where few know anything about firearms outside of TV, Notice how it connects “Certified” with “safety” and “reduced Gun Violence”. Liars.
