Happy Birthday JMB

John Moses Browning was born on this day in 1855.

Arguably the father of the modern handgun, his designs are relevant today, and nearly every handgun manufactured today is a derivation of his design.

His many rifles, shotguns, and weapons of war revolutionized the firearms industry, and many are still produced today.

What might a genius like him create today, with modern manufacturing techniques and methods…..Rather than the technique of the day….which was “Take a chunk of steel and carve away anything that doesn’t look like a gun”….? With modern materials?

Really, Really, poor planning

And an overwhelmingly great lack of foresight will often lead to your death.

As in this instance:

Russian woman jumps into hole in ice in river to mark Epiphany is swept away beneath ice by current. Body not found. 

At night too, to add to the list of screwups.

No safety line, in a high current, Plus farging cold water. Those who have ice dived are shuddering at the list of failures in planning and execution. You’d think people would be smarter….

One can only hope unconsciousness was quick due to the cold. I doubt drowning in an ice cold dark river is high on the “Best ways to die” list.

Have you noticed?

I mean, much of the Left often said that Trump was Putin’s “puppet”….

But if one takes a logical look  (I knw, expecting logic from Liberal Leftists….) at the actions of both Barry Obama and Joe Biden as well as Donald Trump when it comes to foreign policy , one would have to realistically believe that both Obama and Biden are working for (or at least WITH) Putin to further Russia’s plans, rather than thwart them….

One almost could make a case for Projection…

Racism so prevalent that they have to make it up

So McConnell said that “The concern is misplaced because you if you look at the statistics, African-American voters are voting in just as high a percentage as Americans,“.

 

Of course, with some twisting, then it becomes obvious that he considers African Americans to be different than Americans….Dog Whistle, anyone?

 

The problem with blatantly faux outrage is that after a while it undermines what little credibility you have remaining….and if there is something real in what you complain about, no one listens anymore….

Double standards again:

It is interesting that while the integrity of the 2020 elections were unimpeachable, now that the DNC cabal failed to gain Federal control of election rules in every state, the DNC and the Media are preparing the battlespace for their (expected) loss in the 2022 midterms and are already questioning the possible integrity of the next elections…..

“Oh, yeah, I think it could easily be illegitimate … The increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is in proportion to not being able to get these reforms passed.”

 

So I guess that our fears about the integrity of the 2020 elections have merit then?

Funny how the metrics change, ain’t it?
