Bullet Points:
** Repeal Lyndon Johnson’s Executive Order 11246, which mandates race-based quotas in the federal government & for contractors.
** How old were you when you realized that Damm it, I’m Mad, spelled backward was Damm it, I’m Mad?
** An open border isn’t a border.
** A wealthy lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men eating grass along the roadside. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop, and he got out to investigate.
He asked one man, “Why are you eating grass?”
“We don’t have any money for food,” the poor man replied. “We have to eat grass.”
“Well then, you can come with me to my house, and I’ll feed you,” the lawyer said.
“But, sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree.”
“Bring them along,” the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor man, he stated, “You come with us too.”
In a pitiful voice, the second man said, “But sir, I also have a wife and six children with me!”
“Bring them all, as well,” the lawyer answered.
They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine.
Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, “Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you.”
The lawyer replied, “Glad to do it. You’ll love my place… the grass is almost a foot high!”
** CDRSAL outlines the UK’s Naval issues, which are dire. Their fleet is aging, and maintenance is a serious problem. They’re unable to attract enough sailors to man what fleet is left. Where will they be in 20 years when the Muslims out-reproduce the rest of Old Blighty? Will all CofE’s churches become mosques as attendance drops to zero? CDR SAL doesn’t take it that far, but I’m not as politically correct as he is.
**GFW2 suggests that we review the order of battle:
The RAF Typhoons flew in, and mid-air refueled their way to the target as part of the strike package.
I would have used B-52’s to send a clearer and less surgical message. Ten or fifteen of the BUFFs flying in formation could have ARCLIGHTed them into a more precise picture of how their enemies feel about them (and their new lack of posterity).
Analysis from PaulM
PaulM struck the nail on the head and in so doing helps to justify every action by the Federal Government to seize firearms to aid in the fight against global warming.

Black Guns Matter
But do black gun lights matter, too? 
What about black gun sights?
Standards of Dress
This is Grant’s** engineer party, Upper Basin, YNP. 1882. Some of the men are said to be wearing shoulder holsters. But they’re not. They are flap holsters suspended on slings.
**{not to be confused with Peter (BRM) Grant’s parties, which, while epic, take on a very different character.}
The development of shoulder holsters evolved through time and need.

The Educational Bloat Problem
“Vanderbilt University employs more than one full-time administrator for every two students, a College Fix analysis found.
During the 2021-22 academic year, the most recent for which data are available, the private Nashville university employed 3,516 full-time administrators and support staff, according to information the school filed with the federal Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System.
Administrators and support staff include management, student and academic affairs divisions, IT, public relations, administrative support, maintenance, legal, and other non-academic departments.
In 2022, Vanderbilt’s reported full-time undergraduate student enrollment was 6,983. That amounts to 517 full-time administrators and support staff per 1,000 undergrads, or more than one for every two students.
“The bloated staff has been a major cause of skyrocketing tuition and student debt,” he said.”

Parting Shots
Looks like the AMPV.
I know that picture, but I can’t remember the movie. Kids don’t believe me about the early active night-vision gear.
– Kle.
Movie – looks like The Omega Man.
Note – just a wild guess, I very seldom go to movies.
It is,
Indeed. Charlton Heston
By the time I graduated from high school I was tired of the typical Hollywood offerings. I still went to scifi films that appeared to be interesting, at least for a while. Haven’t been to a theater for some time now.

AMPV (Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle). The M113 replacement.
Yes
Thanks a lot PaulM.

Saw it over at Kim Du Toit’s place yesterday, accurate with a humorous (but not funny) conclusion, as LL’s adder, everything is related to the climate change religion.
Stop giving them ideas!!!
Hahah…well, I am on Super Not So Secret VM probation for multiple misinformation faux pas errors, figured I’d pile on to make it worth losing my Digital Danegeld Green Stamps.
The educational bloat problem is just the Education Industry doing well.
It’s a lot like the federal government’s bloat.
Mophead, aka KJP, with her retro hairdo opens the door for even more trouble than she gets when she tries to follow the script in her binder. I hadn’t seen the mophead hairdo for years and all of a sudden she’s promoting it on national TV.
we’ve called her moppy from the first press conference.
That Fro is a a characteristic of her racial composition and cannot be mocked!
It’s also an ‘homage’ to her hero, Angela Davis.
The ‘Fro is why we call her Sideshow Bob – from the Simpsons. Another one of those “once you see it you can never un-see it.”
She needs a bone in her hair to complete the look.
“and cannot be mocked!” !!!!

The other shoe dropping with PDJT’s unequivocal trouncing of his opponents last night was exit polls indicating that 65% stated the 2020 election was stolen, so your infographic is correct…but we already knew that. Rove (that guy is like a bad penny) spouting off, “Mondale, Mondale”, desperate to discount last nights epic win despite epically bad weather. The corrupt old guard simply cannot go away and leave the rest of us to make up our own minds…somehow believe they are still relevant.
Vivek is out. Think he’d be a good adder to a Trumps Administration; smart, speaks off the cuff well, and young blood. Nimrata (besides being not eligible) is done too, she just doesn’t realize it yet, especially since Trump – at friggin 77 – is on to New Hampshire starting tonight…for 5 rallies in 5 days. The man is a warrior, and unstoppable.
J6 is infuriating, not sure what can be done about it short of a raid on the jail, which could thereafter be called an insurrection but we’d call it a rescue.
Education Bloat- Started when Wallstreet got in bed with “The Fed” and took over student loans so they could capitalize on others debtload, drove prices up across the board. Professor pay became super high, including selling their class books for $300, let alone the “ratio”…all on the backs of the unsuspecting students who were sold on the loans, a practice that makes car dealer tactics look like amateurs. This was designed to hamstring graduates and become dependent to “the system”. Do that over enough decades and the system owns everything.
If I was linking to someone else’s blog I’d feel less self-promoting, but I have had a good number of interviews with J6 victims posted at my blog, and one last week with the authoress of MagaMouse to the Rescue! Based on her interactions with many of the J6th victims.
Missed listening, but will…too important (Prager speaks with two “detainees” every once in a while. Sickening, and all at the hands of a bunch of criminal scumbag Democrats). I’ll have some time since it’s windier and colder than Barrow Alaska right now, thus an inside day…well…until I have to plow the drifts so UPS can bring me the new Cummins block heater, which I’ll install in full Iowan-level Carhartt’s…outside, just to make it a challenge. By the looks of it (and LL’s tie-in) too many have turned in their personal weapons because the “Globlawarmingcoolingclimatechange” thermostat has switched to cooling. Next they’ll say the sun is dying.
I don’t know how to tell you this, but….
“The corrupt old guard simply cannot go away”
Wayne LaPierre is apparently going to step down Jan 31, so maybe there is hope that some of the corrupt fixtures can go away. But I’m not holding my breath.
Ramaswamy may be “a good one” (or not). But in general, if you think our current rulers are bad, the Indians will be worse, having most of the vices, but few of the virtues of the present lot.
Ramaswamy will bring in a lot more swamys if he takes office and there they will stay.
That’d be the smart bet, assuming politics and bureaucracy follow the pattern of Tech and Medicine.
He could be a semi DEI type hire, checks a few boxes to shut up the Left (a little maybe). The problem is those of us out here in the nose bleed section can almost never know the real truth of any of the players on the field. Ya place yer bets and takes yer chances with any of them.
WLP is stepping down because of the upcoming bankruptcy (and possible end) of the NRA and if he bails now he won’t get financially pulled into that mess.
He is not doing it for selfless reasons. He’s doing it like any hedge-fund manager right before the whole ponzi scheme fails.
Grants engineering party…. Two dogs, top shirt button always seems to be closed, just for the picture, or always closed. Then the coats, mostly the same style, but missing buttons. Tough life.
Black (long) Gun lights and sights. My choice–
Light–Inforce WMLx White – Gen 2 – Black
Sight–Burris RT-6 LPVO
BUIS–Troy with H&K style front sight
Pecker’s Cutoff. I tried google-fu(ing) it and it doesn’t appear to be existent. Mapquest and other mapping software can’t find it. A perfect place for me, only two people? Paradise! Now if I can find a place far enough away from those two…
When attending Portland State, the ratio I remembered back in mid 1980s were 4 to 1 ratio of admins to students. I thought that was a little lopsided. Everywhere you turned you were tripping over them, I couldn’t see having two admin weinies today, I would have gone Saint Ted Kaczynski…
Whoever put up the “POPUATION” placard forgot a letter…gotta be West Virginia or Arkansas…or as my South Carolina buddy once quipped, Say “Doe” (for deer) to a southerner and they’ll come back “Knob”.
I was in Alabama and the clerk asked the guy buying beer in line ahead of me, “You got any ID?” and he replied “Bout what?”.
Hehehe
Dunno about Pecker’s Cutoff, but Wankers Corner is real, and in Oregon.
I know it well Mike, I am from Oregon and lived close to it and now live here until the snow stops flying then heading back to the mid West where sanity is not a four letter word. Common sense is common…
Intercourse and Blue Ball, PA. Early Pennsylvanians used language of the time that was innocuous and non sexual…more practical. Cross Keys was the original 1794 founding name for Intercourse, where two main PA routes intersected.
Trump’s VP potentials…
(…because he’ll win the White House, short of assassination, Lawfare Prison, outright stoppage or theft of the election (WW3 / Joe got 98 million votes without campaigning!!), and the fact the others in the field don’t have a snowballs chance, especially Nimrata who isn’t even eligible but seems to forget her birth here was to non-citizen parents)
The List (for fun as my crystal ball is serious frozen over today):
– Kari Lake
– Gen. Flynn
– Dr. Carson
Other(s)?
Just saw this from Colorado’s SOS Presidential Election webpage (9 D’s & 9 R’s still listed):
What the hay is this gobblygook (something only a loy-yer could draft):
*The Colorado Democratic Party submitted a request for a “Noncommitted delegate” to appear on the 2024 Presidential Primary Ballot under the provisions of Colorado Revised Statutes 1-4-1204(3). Per statute, a vote for the Noncommitted delegate provides “a place on the primary ballot for electors who have no presidential candidate preference to register a vote to send a noncommitted delegate to the political party’s national convention.
And of course this drivel
**The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments to the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision that Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on the Colorado Presidential Primary ballot. His name will appear on the 2024 Presidential Primary ballot as a result.
Will they put an asterisk next to his name?
Just might, with some disclaimer right on the ballot…because hate is a powerful force.
The Dims are smoking some bad weed in Colorado. Trump hasn’t a chance of winning Colorado even with an honest election.
The Boulder Corridor will vote for a corrupt pervert as is their way.
Yup. Purely for optics in order to help other states [falsely] make him ineligible.
Sen. Tim Scott’s my pick.
Isn’t he tight with Tricky Nickki?
Never. Met NH once. I remember shaking her hand looking her in the eye and trying to think of anything but the cesar salad breath she greeted me with. Tim Scott regardless of the VP outcome is a good man and dear friend.
My only problem with a weapons light on a pistol is that you’re muzzling anyone standing in front of you if you are an LEO doing, say a night DL stop/check. That and my luck with ANYTHING with batteries… sigh…
Re the education bloat, that is all the way down in the local school systems. When I was tracking that more closely, everytime the $$$ per student went up, the number of ‘administration/support went up, often exceeding the number of teachers per child…Grrrr…
Bureaucrats are like that. They seem to exist to build a bigger kingdom for themselves with other people’s money.
And the only ones that suffer are the students!
There’s an awful ot going on in this shotgun blast of a post, but I do like this: “Repeal Lyndon Johnson’s Executive Order 11246, which mandates race-based quotas in the federal government & for contractors.”
About bloody time.
Lights on guns? What’s your take RHSM. A SWAT guy told me the other day that they were ridiculous and dangerous because they i.d.’d your position.Here I am, all lit up, sort of thing.
