Today, I REALLY missed my dog. She’s been gone 5 years and a bit. Yet today, Oddly, for a few very hard minutes, it was like the day she passed.

Odd.

Sometimes I think I should find another dog. Then there are moments like today, and I dunno. 

But not shooting. A couple of us got together and moved some dirt to fix a drainage issue.

Since this was to be a cool and dry day (overcast in the LOW 70’s…in August!) we did a spur of the moment work party. 2 small tractors and a few folks with shovels installing some very much needed drainage conduit.

Fixing the range not only for ourselves, but for others to come.

Plus, it was fun.

But boy, am I sore this morning. I can drive the tractor and the little backhoe ok, but driving the shovel I am not used to anymore.

I was tired when we finished.

As we were packing up, one young member arrived with his 6 year old son to do a bit of shooting. Watching Dad with the kid ringing  6″ gongs at 15 yards with a .22 pistol (the kid was doing about 70% BTW) made the work and the sweat all worthwhile.

So we MUST tear it down or damage it.

I mean, Statue. White guy. Bad. Right?

Except this was a guy who died 78 years BEFORE the Civil War.  But some jerkwad cut the head off the statue of Colonel Crawford. Even though he wasn’t a Confederate.

“Oops, my bad”. Said no vandal or Leftist ever.

If they find this guy, they should incarcerate him for vandalism, and castrate him so he doesn’t pass his stupidity on to the next generation.

I didn’t win the big PowerBall jackpot,  They keep selling me the wrong tickets.

Instead it went to some undeserving soul in Massachusetts…..

Who I congratulate, BTW. Lucky bastard.  

Seems that (again) a Federal jury has failed to do the governments bidding convict some of the Bundy protesters  that were at the Bundy Ranch Standoff.

They tried to convict, and even had their pet Judge give instructions regarding testimony that prevented a great deal of evidence.

Seems the jury saw through that.  They chose not to convict on most charges despite the judge suppressing exculpatory testimony and other evidence.

“The current jury deliberated four full days after more than 20 days of testimony. The six men and six women returned no verdicts on four charges against Parker — assault on a federal officer, threatening a federal officer and two related counts of use of a firearm — and also hung on charges of assault on a federal officer and brandishing a firearm against Drexler. Navarro declared a mistrial on those counts.”


So why do the Federal Officers get to brandish firearms towards a crowd, but the crowd doesn’t get to brandish back? (I think you should NEVER point a firearms at anyone you are’t immediately ready to shoot dead right there, mind you) but there was a great deal of video, and I spoke to people I trust who were there, that claim the Federal contractors in Federal uniforms did the pointing first. Why aren’t they on trial as well? 


Anyway, they have lost twice, but the Feds have a great deal of money and a lot of attorneys and I would bet that they will try again until they win. 


But this is, indeed, a win for the forces of freedom.

Read this.…if you use Android or Google services. You might be surprised.

I had most activity turned off, but still….

Amazing how much Google knows about you. And kinda scary.

Thanks to Commander Zero


(is there another way that they do things in other countries to give credit instead of stealing content?….are customs different south of the equator?)

So Google has apparently begun terminating all google services to people whose work or writing they deem “offensive” with no recourse and no appeal. 

I use Gmail as my primary contact method for email, mainly because it works well on my Android phone.

I also have a Yahoo account, but that app has never been as clean and seamless as Gmail, and Yahoo itself may well be bankrupt soon, so I cannot depend on that either……

Can anyone suggest an Email service that has easy access from Android, that isn’t incredibly expensive, and that won’t terminate me of services because I am not Politically Correct…

Seriously, If Google shuts down my blog, well, then no one is really hurt. But if I lose my (current) Gmail account, I am totally screwed. I think I’d like another account that I won’t get cancelled on for non correct thoughts and all.

Anyone got suggestions?

Hat Tip to Angry Mike (see here is another way to give credit to the blog that you saw a certain article on….Is there a different way they do it in Texas?)




ETA (6 AM 8/23) apparently I am not the only one who has noticed Googles’s actions

JP Morgan Chase (Or at least the CEO, James Dimon ) has decided Virtue Signalling is more important then keeping customers. I guess he wants to look good to his guests at his next cocktail party.

I have a not insubstantial amount of money in my retirement funds through JPMC. Now I have to find someone else to handle those accounts for me. Sad, they’ve been handling my money for 15 years.

They chose to take sides. If they’d have just shut up and chosen NOT to take sides……Lots of firms can place trades for stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. I would expect better from JPMC. They are supposed to be professional bankers and investment experts, not Social Justice Warriors.

Anti-Defamation League? I sorta could have let that go. Maybe.

Southern Poverty Law Center? Nope. that is the one that makes me choose to leave. I won’t give business to anyone who chooses to donate to them…..especially in such a public manner.

Sadly, this hurts my local representative, who has been excellent in giving advice to me and helping me to grow my money. And he is the one that has to push my complaint up the corporate ladder.

I refuse to Feed the Beast. They can use their money to support anyone they wish. I just will not give them any fees with which to do so.

Y’all are adults, and can make your own decisions. However, if you are customers of JPMC, then I would urge you to follow my example and make sure they know why.

I have 8 “Eclipse Viewers” and 9 sets of “Eclipse Glasses” for sale, fairly cheap. Only used for a few moments in 2017.

You’ll need ’em in 7 years or so, so ACT NOW! They sold out in the weeks before the eclipse in 2017, so don’t get caught short.

Contact me for details.
