When People Exclaim, “Look at those Cans!”

This is where my mind goes. Yes, I’m getting old. Sorry.
Opinion
The question of who is behind the invasion across the American Southern Border and the motivation for bringing in the great hoard of unwashed isn’t that perplexing. Wall Street and the permanent administrative state wholly own the Biden Regime. Note how the states are nominating demented old Pedo Joe & Ho by acclamation rather than by party vote. He will be the nominee because they require a 100% puppet to keep the ball rolling. RFKjr (no matter how you feel about him) is not a puppet. He would have been the perfect nominee for the democrat Party but for his independence.
The purpose for the invasion isn’t necessarily to overwhelm the vote with illegal alien voters, voting feloniously. Sure, it would be a great plus, but that’s not the whole picture. Wall Street wants cheap underclass labor. They’ve read the tea leaves and they’re content to use taxpayer funds to use NGOs they control to bring in these undocumented, ignorant, people. No, the covid scam didn’t apply to them because it was a scam. Why not use taxpayer dollars to get this underclass housed, settled, cared for, and dependent? It’s not a bad idea if you can pull it off and don’t care about the nation beyond your pocketbook.
They won’t be allowed to mingle in Scarsdale or Martha’s Vineyard. The police will keep them in their place. Wall Street might lose New York, Austin, or San Francisco, but they were written off long ago. Maybe, given enough underclass workers, they can be rebuilt. Review China’s Floating Population.

Bullet Points:
** I had an Iranian informant/agent that I ran for more than three decades. The government paid him very little, but he liked informing on his friends, which would seem to be a cultural compulsion. Anyway, once he came into some money through an insurance settlement – over $100K- he bought scratchers with them. He showed me black plastic trash bags filled with them in the trunk of his car. He made something like $15K back from his investment, losing $85K. I thought that he was feckless. I just read that Zero Hedge reported, “U.S. GDP ‘Grew’ $334 Billion In Q4… That Growth Cost $834 Billion In Debt.” Yeah, same thing.
** Very Woke: A notoriously lenient city judge who recently sprung a Venezuelan migrant without bail after he stabbed a man in Times Square has struck again — releasing a vagrant who randomly bashed a woman in Union Square as she walked to work, cops said.
Jill Burke, 24, only learned her alleged attacker, Eric Taylor, was cut loose when she showed up to testify against him to a grand jury, The Post has learned.
Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Valentina Morales released Taylor — who has two prior felony convictions and 22 misdemeanor convictions, records show — despite a prosecutor’s request for $20,000 cash bail or $60,000 bond, records show.
** North and South (Yellow Peril) While all eyes are focused on the crisis at the southern border, counties in Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York are seeing record-breaking illegal border crossings as migrants cross the Canadian border in hopes of avoiding detection.
** The Bee -LOS GATOS, CA — Creative professionals all know what it’s like to get writer’s block – and none more so than Netflix writers, who must constantly come up with new show ideas.
So the studio’s writers were “excited” and “absolutely jazzed” to learn about Google Gemini, the search and tech giant’s new A.I. system that generates images of historical figures with a diverse twist.
“OK, folx, we need to develop a new show about George Washington,” said head writer Garth Alba. “I just don’t know where to go with that, though. He’s so boring and white.” One intern, Chandra Patel, then spoke up, suggesting they ask Google Gemini to generate some images of George Washington to stimulate their creativity. What came back floored every writer in the room: “It’s George Washington alright, but there’s something different about him. Hey, wait a minute – he’s black!”
** More Sweeps: In one 12-day period this month, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers apprehended 275 convicted illegal alien sex offenders across the U.S.
From February 5-16, ERO arrested about two dozen illegal alien convicted sex offenders a day during a nationwide sweep, ICE reports. The operation follows a similar effort in January, in which ERO officers apprehended 171 illegal aliens with pending charges or convictions for murder, homicide, or assault against children, in addition to sexual offenses.
** Politico reported, “Pennsylvania progressive Rep. Summer Lee has bowed out of a speaking engagement with a Muslim group after intense backlash about other speakers’ anti-Semitic and homophobic comments.”
I like how the reporter had to throw homophobia in there. Nowadays, being anti-Semitic is not enough to turn off a Democrat. You have to offend the LGBT crowd as well. It’s like, sure, Hitler threw Jews in the oven, but what made him evil was calling gay men cock suckers.

** From Mel: “When I got asked to look into Letitia James’ financials last week, I wasn’t expecting to find much.”
Mel hit the mother lode. In 6 years, Willis spent $384,495 in campaign funds on hotels, airfare, car rentals, reimbursements, and food. (“These are receipts for everything from $18 at Dunkin Donuts to $60 at Dave & Busters to $165 at an oyster bar in Massachusetts and then $700 at a steakhouse in Brooklyn.”) (more at the link above)
I don’t know which is worse—using a campaign slush fund to buy donuts or eating $18 worth of donuts like that.
** Tomorrow – Republicans have chosen Freshman Alabama Sen. Katie Britt to deliver the rebuttal to Pedo Joe’s State of the Union address next week instead of President Trump. If Trump did it, he might be re-elected by a Too Big of a Landslide to Steal. Is there such a thing as too big to steal?
It’s an interesting premise. The democrats have put forward their candidates, a demented pedophile of limited intellect even in his prime and an old whore. These people are acceptable to the permanent administrative state in Washington DC because they’re notoriously corrupt. RFKjr, who one might think would appeal to the democrat electorate, can’t get a fair shake and is running as an independent and to whom the administration won’t give Secret Service protection.
Identify the Anti-Tank Rifle

Identify the Aircraft

It looks like a staged photo.

Identify the Anti-Tank Rifle:
Lahti L-39 20mm
Identify the Aircraft:
Saab 210A
Too fast….
Blast looked up site too late. One of the anti tank weapons I can easily ID from history lessons. At one time when I was back with big army I was in charge of the units anti armour. Saw various older designs as part of general knowledge.
The Finns used them very successfully as anti sniper weapons even when they were outdated for tanks.
Not surprisingly they were for sale after WW2 for a while as long range target rifles. Then governments panicked about people owning them.
If I owned one, I’d need to be able to do my own reloading, and reloading cannon rounds is more of a challenge than standard small arms. It’s definitely a crew-served weapon. Maybe three or four (with ammo bearers)?
I looked out of curiosity and the only article I can see for the ammo with costs is from 2011. $36.00 a round then in USD in lots of 1000 for brand new.
Grandkids plus a quad bike might work for bearers.
Explosive rounds (API) or AP?
Looks like a solid projectile. So more an AP round.
Can’t imagine finding explosive rounds in modern reloads in US or Australia.
You can buy API in the US for .50 BMG easily. I don’t know about 20mm or 25mm.
Henry Bowman got quite good with his….
And there’s a rather detailed description as to how to cut down modern 20mm ammo to fit the Finnish gun.
Shows how light and low ground-pressure the Sheridan was. It hardly crushed that almost-certainly-horrible European car at all.
Army reimbursement scam? 10% for the vehicle crew?
USAEUR was certainly a financial savior for many a farmer with a sick / old cow…
– Kle.
Your taxpayer dollars at work.
Tricky Nikki is taking a victory lap since she won Vermont in the Republican primaries on Super Tuesday. President Trump won the rest and has 995 delegates to Nikki’s 89. She vows to fight on with every dollar the democrat party will give her.
I bet Vermont is an open primary state.
X2 even at that she only won by 2K votes or so.
Most Colorado voters who went for Haley were determined to be Democrats, along with votes for DeSantis, Christie, and Vivek (yeah, there were a bunch). Is this willful, as if they got notice to vote for a losing R (R in the loosest sense) to undermine Trump because the Dems simply plugged in Biden without a single offering otherwise?
The election fix “play” is bigger than we can imagine…Rove (that guy, sheesh!) spouting Trump must behave. Another irrelevant Swamp operative bum). But vote we must, else the Cheaters win by default.
👍 Rove needs to have his trap superglued shut!
Rove is a traitor – paid by the permanent administrative state to do its bidding. He’s doing what his masters pay him to do.
I would like to see a breakdown of how many Republican ballots were cast vs registered Republican voters.
I asked….crickets.
Of course, she folded.
Like a napkin.
Like a cheap umbrella in a Wyoming breeze.
Folded like a fat chick sitting on a cheap lawn chair.
Haley is speaking at 10 this morning, dropping out? If she doubles down we know the Cheater Fix Leviathan is in, especially since she is not eligible to run for President!
I hope Trump – after all the abuse these scumbags put him through and continue to do so – filets her. The gloves are off, time to hit back with the huge lefthand hook and lay these bums out.
SISU MAGA ™
She quit – as you now know. No Nikki, no mo.
EXTRA!EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!
HALEY EXITS REPUBLICAN RACE DESPITE VERMONT WIN, SWITCHES TO DEMOCRAT PARTY
The permanent administrative state will slot her in as a US Ambassador somewhere like they did with the traitor Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ). He is currently Biden’s ambassador to Turkey.
Trump-Biden rematch is the tagline…except Biden may flame out after a major short-circuit, leaving the Primary vacant so The Uniparty can plug-in their real candidate, EO pen at the ready. Harris will stay because she’s too valuable as a stopgap measure of anyone taking out the Newbie.
That’s my “play” prediction…and with 3 bucks gets you a cup a coffee.
So are you ruling out Big Mike as the candidate of choice?
Heh…funny but not funny
Babylon Bee, this morning:

Not Big Mike, never happen…too much scrutiny of The Tuck-er.
Now, seems HRC in her upholstery tent has crawled out of her cave she’s been hiding to spout off. Imagine that one taking Joe’s place.
It’s HER turn…
Cans and age: I had a “you know you’re a parent when” dream years back. In the dream I met a great gal that I got along with famously. In the dream I thought “I wonder if she would like to meet my son”.
Oh, the horror of age.
Those silencers on the Beretta 21A & the Walther P22 are the Rugged Suppressor Oculus.
https://ruggedsuppressors.com/rimfire-suppressors/
I wasn’t aware a silencer was made for a Walther P22, hmm… I may have to look into buying one, for educational purposes, yeah, education.
requires a readily available adapter. goes on in seconds. i find the first round loud but next nine almost silent. maybe run it wet if you need the first round quietly.
The Beretta or the Walther? I have the Walther. I would definitely have a good friend of my uncle, a gunsmith thread it. Wet as in lube down in the barrel? Or, a well lubed action?
walther. many come with one in the box. its like twenty bucks so no gunsmith required. wet is spraying water or oil/wd40 in the suppressor. you put a piece of tape over the end. water is better but you have to clean the whole works after use for obvious reasons. the liquid vaporizes and fills the voids in the can making the first round like the subsequent rounds, nearly silent. i just hear the hammer fall and the bullet whack the target, but i lost that frequency of hearing long ago. have fun.
What a wonderful plan! Or if you want truly silent, a Colt Woodsman fired single shot.
Agree. Having used a suppressed Colt Woodsman extensively, albeit in excess of fifty years ago, whilst somewhat underpowered, they are excellent for the use to which they are meant to be put. Ideally one used them for headshots but they are, if necessary, with careful shot placement, quite effective elsewhere. Having used them at very close quarters, in a definitely hostile environment, they are, as you say “silent”.
Yes, great cans.
Shame Colt stop making them. Was a popular automatic handgun when I was younger. They were very quiet even without a silencer.
RE: illegals entering from Canada
How did all these illegals get into Canada in the first place ? They can’t simply have walked there !
And, if they’re arriving by plane or ship, why is Canada letting them in, in the first place ? Unless, of course, Fidel Jr. is overseeing, aiding and abetting a deliberate international plot to destroy the USA .
NGOs are flying them into Canada, same as with the US. Canada needs to keep up with the US, or exceed us by establishing larger quotas for illegal aliens once President Trump takes office and seals the US Border.
Everyone continues to say “NGOs”; I’d like to see someone name them and put a $number to what they’re doing/accomplished, as well as how much of that is taxpayer dollars.
Me too…so called church organizations.
You asked for it, there is a segment on tomorrow’s blog on this topic.
The American Red Cross, using money from FEMA. Was in the news a couple weeks ago.
Catholic Charities is another big contributor.
The idiots behind Doctors without Borders also are in play.
Various UN organizations, so once again your tax dollars at work.
The UN? The people who helped Hilary fix Haiti, and Hamas build all that underground infrastructure? Yes, our tax dollars at work.
Don’t be bitter. The Clinton Global Initiative still considers their work in Haiti to be “their finest hour.”
Immigration (aka. The Invasion):
March 1, Laken Riley’s funeral was wholly ignored by the MSM Propaganda outlets (in stark contrast of their coverage of Criminal Fentanyl George Floyd’s Multiple Memorials)…Biden’s Handlers sent out this disgusting tone deaf demented statement while Not-A-Doctor Jill was half an hour away in Atlanta (aka. They don’t care about Ms. Riley, she’s mere collateral damage to their Destroy America Game Plan):
President Biden
@POTUS
Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act so we can make police reform the law of the land.
Best comment:
How about you say her name and propose the Laken Riley Justice and Border Closure Act? You POS.
Clown world. Time For A Reset ™
There are plenty of Mexicans to work already. Quotes from the guy’s I know: “my family was working on the King Ranch before Texas was a state. 4 generations married to white ladies.” “we came here in1947” and the new guy “I am getting deported again tomorrow, but I will be back at work next week” I respect them as hard working married with families. A good number visit Mexico for Easter
This new invasion is about intimidation. Period.dot.
Fine the employer and buy bus tickets to your liberal friend’s home address.
i think its really more about replacing americans in the military/police with ones that will follow orders w/o question to take the guns no matter what. i read a novel to that affect decades ago, can’t remember the name. if anybody knows, cluebat me in. i’d like to read it again.
That may be a default setting as our generation dies off.
Watering down the populace with people who do not identify as Americans. Eager to reject the Constitution.
Now I have to go take another BP med…..
Got this earlier:
“They flew 320,000 illegals into the country so they didn’t overwhelm the border. WTH? Nobody seems to care. Where are the gallows? This is treason. Death to every one of them responsible for this…starting with Mayorkas and going up from there.
Bongino said 2 days ago that Martin County (Wyoming…one over from his daughter and her husband) had an illegal charged with rape that ICE would not pick up. Bongino went apeshit. The governor got involved. The DA almost let the scumbag out!”
There are more Chinese crossing the California border than Mexicans, every day. Who is protecting us?” 9/11 v2 is inevitable. I predict late October early November. No election under “emergency.”
That’s not wrong. Question is what to do?
The new praetorians, loyal to the paycheck and accountable only to Caesar. Sometimes.
“nomads loyal only to the global order, or to no one. See Brexit for details.” To quote John C. Wright.
On that Lahti 20mm
https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/shades-of-thunderbolt-lightfoot-the-20-mm-brinks-heist/
Thanks for that. Great article! There is a lot of gunrunning in support of various revolutionary causes globally.
Hasn’t there always….?
Going back to the beginning of time.
I like that Beretta. I just returned a Minx 950 in .22 short to a friend.
It gets lost in the hand. I was interested in a tilt barrel for Scherie.
Ended up buying her a Girsan tilt barrel in .380 that’s a sorta Beretta Cheetah clone only with a tilt.
No can. Great gun.
You don’t need a suppressor. They have their uses, but they make a small pocket handgun into a large handgun that is difficult to carry concealed.
You don’t LIKE the little Beretta, Ed, you NEED the little Beretta. Trust your crazy old Uncle WWW on this one.
Those cross hangar cats had to ‘hurt’… Way too short, and launching in a cross wind with full flaps at/near stall speed wasn’t conducive to survival! No wonder they were removed by 1944! And yes, the Iranians are ‘strange’… Encountered them in Bandar Abas in the mid-70s when we flew out of there.
On one hand I hear, ohno! what will happen in the US to all its lower-half IQ persons; what with automation and AI, humans now need to be of upper-half IQ to still be worth hiring. On the other hand I hear, cheap unskilled labor produces so much value with its labor that it’s worth both importing/inviting and feeding. Both cannot be true.
I think that cheap unskilled labor, fed by taxes, which is actually unskilled and likes to steal and riot, is imported as an additional cost to taxpayers. It doesn’t produce value, it produces cost, and that’s the point. It’s consistent with decades of taking dollars from taxpayers and opportunities from the qualified, and redistributing them to the less meritious to reward negative merit. Instead of human hostages strapped to tanks to discourage shooting at the tanks, the violence-prone less meritious are themselves the tanks, but with better optics. Government destroys prosperity to keep people down, because that’s what elites want from government. How exactly did ancient Egyptian taxpayers benefit from pyramids?
