“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four.” – Orwell

 

** Botched Afghanistan Withdrawal Report -The Biden regime released a State Department review of its botched Afghanistan withdrawal the Friday before the July Fourth holiday weekend, in what Republicans say was an attempt to bury its release. The administration also redacted about 60 pages in the version that was released to the public.

** The Constitution wasn’t written to keep you in line. It was written to keep them in line.

** It’s only treason if you lose.

 

“In a time of universal deceit – telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” -Orwell

 

** The National Education Association, America’s largest teacher’s union, just published a list of 11 books as ‘great summer reads’. Among those are “White Fragility” and “Gender Queer“. The NEA endorses racist anti-white screeds and a book with graphic oral sex images for great summer reading. The Swamp isn’t after you. It’s after your children and grandchildren.

** An unarmed man can only flee from evil. And evil can’t be overcome by fleeing from it.

** If you want to freak out an automobile enthusiast with an expensive car, zip-tie a harmonica to the underside of the ride when he’s not present.

 

“The farther that a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.” – Orwell

 

** The Treasury Department reported that our national debt spiked $851 billion in one month and has now exceeded $32 trillion.

** The Bioweapon that elected Biden –  The Jerusalem Post reported, “China deliberately engineered the coronavirus virus as a bioweapon, a Wuhan Institute of Virology researcher claimed this week in an interview conducted by Chinese-born human rights activist and author Jennifer Zeng.”

** “The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high for the privilege of owning yourself.” – Nietzsche

 

“All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed, they must rule exclusively by force.” -Orwell

 

** “We’re concerned about the fact that the president’s son, who we’ve said for seven months now is a risk to our national security, is spending so much time in the White House. We have reports that say he’s spending more time there than Joe Biden is,” Comer argued, noting that “we don’t really know where Hunter Biden lives.” (NY Post)

** The lesbian (identifies as female) person with the Sideshow Bob hairdo has some words for you – The democrats need to manipulate social media to win.

Although there has not been a final ruling in the case, the judge’s order restricts a number of officials and agencies from meeting or communicating with social media companies for the purpose of “urging, encouraging, pressuring, or inducing” in any manner the “removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.”

** More on the Biden Crime Family (h/t Claudio)

By Hunter Biden’s recent own admissions and corroborating evidence, he seems not only to have schemed to hide millions of dollars in foreign shake-down profiteering, but to have set up all sorts of paywalls, firewalls, and phony “loans” to ensure auditors would take years to unravel his illegal schemes — until well after the expiration of the statute of limitations. And his criminality succeeded so well that he has permanently gotten off not paying thousands of dollars in overdue taxes.

President Joe Biden has serially lied that he did not know anything of his son’s business dealings.

 

“Real power is achieved when the ruling class controls the material essentials of life, granting and withholding them from the masses as if they were privileges.” -Orwell

 

Special Ops: Lioness

I may watch it on Paramount+ but it looks like the new generation of movie BS that is so common now. The cast is good and Taylor Sheridan does good work.  So maybe I’ll give it a try.

Special Ops: Lioness is a brand new Paramount+ Original spy thriller series that follows Joe (Zoe Saldaña) as she tries to balance her professional and personal lives while working as a Marine and key operative for the CIA. Joe is given her most difficult mission yet as she is tasked with going undercover alongside aggressive Marine Raider, Cruz Manuelos (Laysla De Oliveira ), to befriend the daughter of a suspected terrorist being surveilled by the CIA.

Identify the Aircraft

72 thoughts on “News and Bullet Points

  1. Didn’t think I’d be able to pull the trigger on identify the aircraft before AI on that one. Hopefully it’s correct.Is there a way I could contact you offline so I’m not taking up a bunch of blog space from everyone. Just had a quick couple questions if you have the time.
    Thanks LL

  2. ” he seems not only to have schemed to hide millions of dollars ”
    It’s absurd to think that cokehead had the ability to do that.
    His dad, though?

        1. I might need a new recliner to go w/my popcorn and Yuengling black/tan for this. Should make for some excellent circlejerk..I mean TV.

      1. More “tough talk”, zero resultant action.

        Robert Hunter was a facilitator shield to allow “dad” plausible deniability. Yet emerging data and facts prove otherwise. Yet we still have zero culpability.

        If DC fell into the Potomac, literally no one would miss it. A dozen D9’s could regrade it inside of two weeks and we could start over…for America. She deserves as much.

          1. I swear there is something in the air there…smell of money perhaps that twists normal brain activity. Hell, a 5th Grader could speak better than our [per Wiki] “first African-American (man I hate that term) and Asian-American (same sentiment) woman VP”. Total lie…yet given a free pass because – like everything there – it’s about optics.

          2. How DARE you (Greta Thunberg)!

            She’s a victim!

            Therefore her inability to speak coherently has something to do with tricks slamming whatever into her brain stem. See, I explained it with wokishness.

    1. Or his and his father’s handlers who are satisfied staying in the shadows and taking their 10%.

      1. Yes, it’s a Russian rocket pod that is used as a MLRS. They’re slapping what they have on tanks these days.

        1. Ukrainians have never really been top of their game in the engineering department. When I first saw the picture it flashed me back to the mad Max mobiles (technicals) used to see in Libya back in the day.

          1. We call them “technicals” now. Yes, I recall the same thing in Chad (the country, not a guy).

  3. we feared the zsu 23-4 most of all when i was anti-armor. it was supposed to be anti-aircraft but the rooskies would move it up to the front of the attack formation when they came to a clearing and lower the guns to max and buzzsaw the horizon. nothing over 4 foot tall was left.

    1. The Germans and Americans used multi-barrel FLAK against infantry and light armor to great effect during WW2. And the 8.8 Pak 43 was a dual-use cannon.

      1. There’s a reason the original M-16 was called “The Chopper.”

        Quad .50 BMG on a powered gun mount usually found on the back of a halftrack. They could ‘eat’ their way through buildings and thick walls using that gun system and the spalling and splinters created were devastating by themselves but truly nasty when combined with all the .50cal.

        There’s always a need for a machine that can lay down a poop-ton of suppressive fire. The USAF has them in their AC-130s and the now-going-away A-10.

        1. You forgot the .30 BAR, the .45 Thompson I believe was called the trench sweeper back in world war II. German MG42 has one of the most distinct beautifully horrific sound s especially when you have two start taking.
          Miss the 60. Would take that over m240 all day everyday when we’re able to get our hands on one.

    1. And they used it on their own people first. Saved a lot of pension money doing it.

      Not to mention it allowed the CCP to crack down on uppity peons and centralize power yet again.

      Accidental release my ass.

  4. China deliberately engineered the coronavirus virus as a bioweapon

    No S–t Sherlock.

    Yet how many will make the correlation to The Unconstitutional Lockdowns and selling of a bill of goods pile of horse manure that was/still is “The Vaccine”. Few on that side of the fence, they’d rather still say our side is a bunch of conspiracy nuts despite emerging truths about the entire Op.

    Fast-forward…Congress (some of them) are sending $800B more of our money to Ukraine. Covid Crap Lockdowns was ONE…I believe TPTB are intentionally poking the War Dog lying asleep (maybe semi-awake now) to start a world war to achieve their goal of power and control and dominance over The Little People.

    Looks that way.

    Hunter’s Cocaine- If I hear one more media moron dismiss this as No one was harmed so what’s the big deal? in their attempt to spackle-over this garbage, I’ll will lose my s–t. Today we’ll hear from these same cretins that it was actually “Don Jr’s coke he forgot about!”. You watch…lower than a snake stoop-age is their go-to move every time.

      1. Wet weather moved out for the umpteenth time (once every 10 years or so when Summer shows up mid-July…pastures look great tho).

        Today is slated for Tractor Therapy while listening to LiveIreland and Bluegrass on TuneIn. Let the bums have their ant-infested picnic on the Potomac.

        1. I’m going to buy bushels of corn picked today for canning. Shucking Therapy.

        2. Today I actually get some range time today (indoor range). Swapped barrels on and M1 carbine, now to test it out.

          1. Heh. Point taken. Am delighted to report it worked. Carbine is one I assembled back in the 90’s as a spare, with a Winchester barrel. Just last year got around to shooting it off a bench. Holes in paper target were waaay left. Adjustable rear sight cranked to full right windage and STILL to the left. So, changed out to an Underwood barrel. Rear sight cranked back to center, first shot (and all following) dead center for windage.

            Re-read my comment above. Sheesh. Gotta get the caffine above the “add” mark before posting.

    1. Way back in the years before the ubiquitous credit cards and cell phone payments when I was working as a waiter, busting my a$$ and flashing my bright toothy smile from sideburn to sideburn, I might garner from a lot of tables a $1 dollar tip (or ten times the average – gives one an idea how far back that was): 50 cents always went to the maître d’ (for steering the high tippers to my tables), thirty cents to the “kitchen staff” (distributed by the chefs to dishwashers on up), and five cents to the busboy (who otherwise would leave your tables filthy.)
      Question: how much of the $800B more of our money actually gets to the Ukraine?

      1. About $3…I say every person in public office has to disclose their bank accounts, before, during, and after their so-called public service, that’ll end most of the criminal graft.

        Just had a double gully washer here, unreal amount of water this year. Might need to start building a boat of this global warming continues.

        1. The way to begin is to:
          (A) Prohibit employee unions from contributing money directly or in any derivative way to elected people who vote for their salaries.
          (B) Prohibit politicians OR THEIR FAMILIES from investing in any company or person who does business directly or indirectly with the government.
          (C) Prohibit politicians OR THEIR FAMILIES from receiving any benefit from any person or organization while they are in office or three years after they leave office. After they leave office they are limited to a salary from a company not to exceed what they earned while in office for a period of three years.

      2. We know from the FTX scandal that $477 million arrived in Ukraine and then was laundered back into the Democrat Party in the US through cryptocurrency. So technically it did ARRIVE in Ukraine.

  5. Watched the trailer…nah. Not a chauvinist at all…my sister was the only gal on the softball team who could throw a line drive to 2nd base so was made catcher, and she was not butch, just had 3 brothers. But geez…this constant push to present woman as tougher than men and full-on operatives (Denzel v. Queen Latifa as The Equalizer, not a hard choice, and I like QL in her movie roles). Not that they didn’t/don’t exist, but suspend reality is a bridge too far with this one. (Mike W is the real deal, same with LL and others here).

    That said, I could look past that aspect (Freeman and others give it gravitas)…but it’ll be a hard pass for me…looks like more contrived Hollywood mind candy…then again, I never watched Yellowstone or the spin-offs either…and Sheridan is supremely talented.

    1. Laysla De Oliveira and Zoë Saldaña are each around 5’7” and under 120 lbs. Can’t figure out the role of Saldaña’s character from the trailer, but hard to imagine a sub-120 lb girl as a Marine Raider. Then again, Dick Levine is a woman Admiral now, so whadda I know?

    2. It is based on a true story but i the true story the characters were men. Ooops.

      1. Just doesn’t pass the visual smell test for me as traditional male/female roles are what they are…Amazonian or not, 98% of woman are not stronger than men, God saw to that in construction (altho that is changing drastically with injected estrogen into the food supply, lack of fathers…blah, blah, blah). Next Cat Woman at the hands of these morons will have a twinky male in the role…visual smell test producing a certain gag factor.

        1. Suspend reality when you’re watching anything out of Hollywood. There are no trees named Groot or talking racoons… The same applies to Zoe Saldana being a deadly warrior.

    3. I’m a nice guy. I want women to fight. But, dammit, make it realistic. Some flyweight comes trying to take down Fatso the Barbarian and, no, it doesn’t happen that way.

      Trust me. I’ve defeated excellent female fighters just by being a fat tank. There was one female knight in the SCA that I’d just get close up and step on her foot and that shut her down. One day she was walloping me in the torso for 15 straight hits while I watched her do it. She bitched about it and I lifted up my tunic showing her I had no torso armor on, just a padded gambeson. She couldn’t hit me hard enough for me to feel it. Now, double handed spear she could get enough ass behind it for me to call it, but otherwise no.

      Same with most females, they just don’t have the body strength for single handed weapons. Polearms, yes, swords and other single-handed weapons, no.

      Makes me laugh in anger every time I see some pipsqueak go all uber-Rambo on a big fit operator dude. Yeah, no.

      I want to see a movie where the chickyboo goes hand to hand with Bubba the walking slab of Doom and he just flattens her. Maybe catches one of her leg kicks and then proceeds to beat everyone else to death using her as the beater.

      Or she dumps a full mag into his chest, which gets sucked up by his armor, and he pops her one in her armor from a snotgun sending her flying across the room, or at least shattering her ribs.

  6. ‘** It’s only treason if you lose.”

    I am reminded of a line in James Clavell’s novel “Shōgun”. In a conversation between Lord Toranaga and John Blackthorne, the topic of revolution comes up. Lord Toranaga declares that revolution is treason (my word). Blackthorne replies “Not if you win”

    1. The series is highly recommended. Yes, that’s where I took the line from.

  7. Back when he was actively blogging , Bloviating Zeppelin coined the term, “American Media Maggots”. Too accurate. On a personal level I ignore the mainstream 4th Estate as much as possible. Kind of like being in a sketchy neighborhood, you keep your head on a swivel but don’t engage the inhabitants.

    For me, there is far more accurate and timely information to be found in blogs.

    The late Michael Vanderboegh, who passed away in 2016, blogged as Sipsey Street Irregulars. His blog was always point on.

    “The Swamp isn’t after you. It’s after your children and grandchildren”
    How do we fight, and defeat, that?.

    1. With circumspection. The problem is that you will be declared an enemy of the state once you begin, even peacefully. It has to start in the home.

  8. I always thought magazine-fed rocket launchers were cool. You don’t see them very often.

    One of the things I’m enjoying most about observing the Ukraine war from afar is seeing every possible weapon mounted on a BTR. Wonder what’s still hidden under the tarp, could be SPAA?

    I get the aircraft rocket pod on the MTLB, you see that pretty regularly. However, WTF is that weird gun on the back? It looks like something you’d see on a torpedo boat, circa 1910… some sort of weird low-recoil mount, maybe? Also, rather not be the gunner on thet if they decide to let go with the rockets…

    -Kle.

      1. Aha!

        I have never seen one of those in an open mount, before!

        I always thought it and it’s bigger brother seemed like great weapons.

        -Kle.

  9. Totally off-topic (perhaps, perhaps)
    in re Michael Watson’s “Hunting in the Shadows”
    In the Introduction (Yeah! I have a bad tendency to read those), he mentions on page vli a book (treatise, really) I’d never run across, “Modern Guerilla Warfare” edited by Franklin Mark Osanka. Just received it this AM and began thumbing through it – WOW! Found it, BTW, per addall.com which is not a bad site to hunt for the odd volume.
    back to “Hunting…”
    I’ve changed my evaluation from 6* (out of a 0-5 rating) to 8.5* or “far more than worthwhile apending the time”

    1. Saw this over at Dailytimewaster earlier, might come in handy along with your new book recommend: “Farmers Guide to Explosives”

  10. Re: The lesbian (identifies as female) person with the Sideshow Bob hairdo has some words for you I just want to add that combining Sideshow Bob with the “I’m historic” lesbian in our minds for all time absolutely wins the Internet for the day, month and, most likely, the year.

    1. The historic lesbian checks at least a dozen victim boxes – lesbian, low IQ, negro, White House brain trust, etc.

      1. You missed “Muppet”.

        She might identify as human, but she looks more like an actual Muppet than anyone else I’ve ever seen, even alien synthoid Lori Lightfoot.

        She even has Muppet mannerisms.

        -Kle.
