I should be embarked on a Super Secret mission, at a somewhat secret location.

I should (assuming I survive) be back in about a week.

Expect posting to be light for a week(ish).

When I was a young lad, there was a sign that said:

“Get US out of the UN” .

And then an address for the John Birch Society. One time I wrote that information down as we passed by….

I did a bit of research, and found out a LOT about the UN. It wasn’t pretty then….and it is even less pretty now. They were on the edge of irrelevant 45 years ago…

Fast Forward to today, when I read that the UN had decided that Israel is the top Human Rights Violator,,,,And the top violator of the rights of women….and a whole slew of other denunciations against Israel.

Add in the total mismanagement of the UN’s peacekeeping, it’s inability to respond to any aggressions, or any natural or other disaster, the fact that they constantly whine for funding, but have money for sculptures and other useless but symbolic things and I can’t help but wonder why, exactly, the US is a part of the UN any more?

And why do we allow the UN to take up all that space in New York? They could go to Brussels and take up space in the now useless NATO headquarters……Yeah, that NATO, the one where most of the member countries have spend so much on socialist programs that they cannot field any military (see Germany and France and Belgium for examples) and are depending (again) on the US to provide the teeth while exerting (partial) control over our military.

Really, the US should give up on such organizations. They are divorced from reality, and simply waste money employing (and entertaining_ a bunch of liberals whose effectiveness is, essentially, zero.

Even bees can be racist. 

For fellow blogger Comrade Misfit.

She’s gotta take her long time companion on his last trip.

He’s crossing the bridge.

This has to be one of the hardest things a responsible pet owner has to do.

I’ve done it, and it is hard, even if it is the right thing.

So spare a thought for her today.And for Jake.

Sadly, it ain’t an April Fools joke

Feds reinstate “Equitable Sharing”

This means that local and county and State cops and departments can easily resume confiscating cash from anyone who is pulled over and searched…..and it becomes a FEDERAL case,….But they get as much as 70% of the stolen property.

It is known as Civil Asset Forfeiture. THe cops can take your money or property and you have to prove where it came from….Not that they have to prove that it is ill gotten gains. You are, in essence guilty until proven innocent. ANd to prove your innocence, you get to go up against a Federal Prosecutor.

This, in the days of old, was known as Highway Robbery.

No, seriously.

Go HERE

Is what it will take to pay this off….maybe 90 days tops….

In ammo savings alone……. I mean, I live 7 minutes (4 miles) from the pistol range, so gas isn’t an issue….but still.

Recoil laser trainer. 

CO2 powered. Kinda pricey, but….

WANT want WANT.

I’ve worn out 2 .45ACP LaserLytes in the past 3 years……

Seriously, I spend a bit over a $150 a month on pistol ammo, even with reloading my own.

Not sure how much the CO2 will cost. (or how many shots one gets per recharge) I could recharge with C25 or argon from the welding bottles though, which would make it cheap……

First Cyprus, then Greece, Europe in general (especially Western Europe).

Now the Canadian Government is planning Bail Ins for large depositors.

Seems like the more free stuff the government gives it’s citizens, the sooner they have to resort to shenanigans like this to pay the debts.

Odd that.

One wonders though, if you have worked all your life, made good decisions, maybe good investments or sold a house for profit,:

Where does one put his money where it can be safe?

Large safes? Coffee cans buried in the yard by moonlight?

Seriously, if the banks aren’t safe, and might give you a 20+% haircut, where do you put your money? Swiss accounts? Large safes? Where is it safe?

Seems that there were shots fired at the US Capitol Visitors Center……Impossible. It is a Gun Free Zone. We all know those signs and laws work.

Also, seems that the FEDS were somehow able to hack the San Bernardino terrorist’s IPhone. Despite them saying that only Apple could do it.

Odd that.

How many times just prior to the bombing did the “authorities” tell people that “there is no credible threat”…Just like we hear here in the United States?

How is it that the Police in and around Brussels were able to know who to arrest immediately after the bombing at the airport?  And in France and Germany as well…..(“Round up all the usual suspects”)…..If they knew who these people were, and they were able to break up an attack in the “late planning stages” then why were these people at large?

If the landlord where these folks rented an apartment was aware that the tenants were “odd” and used a  fake name and that the apartment had a lot of chemical smells and liquids that leaked through the ceiling of the apartment below (according to CBS news) that smelled of chemicals…..Why didn’t he bother to report it to the cops? Lessee here: Paid cash, put a fake name on the mailbox, chemical smells, lots of Islamic visitors coming and going……Nah, nothing to see here folks, move along……

(I figure, from the descriptions given, that they were making “Mother of Satan”….TATP. Not for the timid. It isn’t stable….and it is…energetic. Don’t ask me how I know.)
