With the bureaucratic assholes in the NRA training division.

It is sad what happens when you give a small man a little power.

This might be the break from the NRA for my club.

Someone in the NRA needs to realize just what kind of people they are hiring. . 

Except that there were 12 people killed and over 70 shot.…Mostly non whites.

And it is, of course, ALL WHITE PEOPLE’S fault.
Even though, it isn’t white people that are doing the shootings, nor white people that are the victims. over a hundred thousand young people (white) attended the Lollapalooza concert….and yet there were no shooting (and almost no arrests!) at that concert…over 3 days….

And it isn’t white people in those communities that “Didn’t see Nothin’ ” and who fail to cooperate when questioned about what they saw…. ,nor is it whites who believe that the police are the enemy (Because they enforce laws and arrest black people when they break those laws) and who won’t help fix the problem. Who protest every time the police DO try to stop the violence and enforce the laws.

But is IS non whites who insist that they need more of those hated police (right now, anyway) to stop the shootings…And it is whites (especially wealthy ones) who are blamed for the failures of the non-white communities.

Odd, that. No one is willing to look at the real problem…culture of black urban peoples.

Yeah, pointing this out makes me a racist in many people’s eyes….. I no longer care.

ETA: It isn’t a melanin level, it is CULTURE. 

How healthy are the public pension funds in YOUR state?

Something to think about:

HERE

(As a rule, the bluer the state, the more difficulty the state has in funding and/or meeting the obligations of the pension funds.)

Might be something to consider. 

Thing is, I’ve had these files for YEARS. (And, I am told by folks that I know (REALLY REALLY well …Like all my life, IYKWIM) that this blueprint makes for a functional AR receiver. (I  have one set of prints that supposedly will accommodate an M-16 fire group, and the dimensions for those parts too, but I’ve never tried them.)

HERE …available on the Internet for everyone to see….. (ETA: this is made from stacked sheet metal plates. all you need to do is cut them and drill them. Precision, yes, but average Joe garage level work)

And that receiver is, of course, unserialized….a  “Ghost Gun”as it were.

I also have blueprints for a Sten gun (never made one, that would be a fully auto one and I’m not gonna go to jail) although I am reliably informed by others that those prints make a functional firearm)….

And also a Grease Gun.

One cannot stop the signal.

Darwin? or Murder?

I mean, Jesus (not the landscape guy,  the Jewish carpenter)… How can folks be this stupid?

Dry ice left in car leaves 1 dead, 1 in critical condition:

Or, as Maggie Thatcher said: When you run out of other people’s money.

Canada gives up on Universal Basic Income. 


It appears Norway is also gonna give up on that wonderful Socialisitic program. 

Of course, several DNC led cities in Califronia, and other larger cities around the US(also led by Democrats) can’t seem to understand that failure means…failure…..are gonna make it work, if they Just Try Harder….

‘Cause if there is one thing the Democrats seem to do well, it is to throw more money at a failed concept…..”Beat that dead mule until it starts moving”….Especially when they can use someone else’s money….

A perfect example:

Words are one thing….action is another.

When it gets serious, you’d better be serious..and able to back up your words. 

But seriously, put down the drinks first. (don’t say I didn’t warn you)

Mid/high 70’s, decent humidity, mostly cloudy.

Too bad I am unable to enjoy or appreciate it. 

For me, at least….

So I flew an Arrow for the first time Wed.  ‘Twas a different experience.

Now, previously I had flown Cessna products.

But I wanted to get my Complex endorsement, and this is the only plane at the flight school with retractable gear and a constant speed prop.

Now, learning the systems isn’t that hard. Nothing too complicated about any of the systems, really. Gear is pretty straightforward, as is the propeller and its’s controller…. (apparently, some folks have a hard time figuring out the prop?….It is pretty simple,and works like every other governor I have seen, except the prop is controlled instead of a throttle).

Thing is, Pipers are VERY different from Cessnas…..I’d rather have flown (and landed) a Warrior or something first, rather than the (relatively) massive change to the Arrow and learning how to control all those systems as well as learning to land in an aircraft with an entirely different approach profile.

I’d have cancelled this lesson except that they are very busy at the school, and getting a time slot is difficult enough right now….So I took it, even though my mind wasn’t really where it needed to be. I probably should not have flown, but I did alright. Plus I had an instructor to keep me out of trouble and coach me…

All told, I did OK. 3 landings, and really, once one gets used to the different attitude on approach, it wasn’t that hard….Although it is easy to get behind the aircraft when one is not used to the different checklist.
