Maps and More

1. I suspect the reason for our NE corner of the state being well vax’ed is because of all the Indian reservations. I know the Navajo and the Apache both got hit hard and were pushing the jabs big time.
   I have to admit to making use of the gun counter in Bi-Mart when I was in Oregon…decent prices and the stores are prolific in smaller markets around the state. Once upon a time, they had good sales on ammo. To ‘quoth the Raven’…

   • Yes, the Indian Reservations suffered greatly and there was a focus to get them inoculated. I don’t know what’s happening now. Good news isn’t “news”.

2. Regarding Walmart, they’re drastically pulling back on the gun sales and have given up a lot of FFLs in Florida. Good riddance to bad trash, though they did fit the ‘can’t afford anything else’ market. Now, I like Walmart, at least the savings on many of their food items and they’re consistently the only shoe store that carries ultra-wides in long size shoes. It’s just they always put the most stupid employees on the gun and ammo counter. Ya know, where you actually need some smarts.

   Dammit, we should still recognize the Republic of China as a national entity in all our dealings with them. They may be a$$holes, but they’re our a$$holes, kind of, sort of, even though FDR pulled the rug out from underneath them in WWII, speaking of an a$$hole.

   Wouldn’t it be neat for both Mongolias to become one Mongolia? That I want to see, just to hear the sound of a bazillion ChiComs slamming their collective buttholes shut all at once.

   • The Kuomintang (KMT) historically had a very spotty track record. I’m not sure that they were our “friend” until the People’s Liberation Army gave them no choice. They remain friends of convenience. The enemy of my enemy and all that.

3. And who is that particular Capital officer that shot Ms. Babbitt? I’m waiting. Obviously being carefully “handled” into obscurity. Meanwhile an officer makes a mistake and (stupidly) shoots yet another black criminal evading arrest and she’s run out of her home into hiding, with her personal info plastered all over social media.

   SCOTUS Packing- No surprise, the Election Thieves are in full court press to jam-thru their destruction…HR1 is just the start. And every bit of it defies The Constitution. But hey, the rules don’t apply to the scumbags…running open loop like kids unleashed in a rotten candy store.

   • Paul, based on what I know about the shooter, it was a female lieutenant who gunned her down. If you read the statement by her lawyers, she saved many lives by gunning down Ashli Babbitt in cold blood. They act like the shooter deserved a medal. Makes me want to barf.

     • I’m with you on the barf-age. Carlson played the video last night. While I do not agree with the entering and smashing of windows, the shooting was wrong. Add to that the ensuing propaganda at the hand of the “question authority” crowd and their nutzoid offspring. Disgusting. Things is, for me, I believe we are past any reasonable tipping point for the Republic. Can it be salvaged? Possibly. The gauntlet has been thrown, and at some point an appropriate response will be required to thwart their anarchy. It will get nasty ugly.

       • You don’t shoot an unarmed citizen. What about less lethal options? There is training that is handed down about use of force CONTINUALLY. The shooter violated Capitol Police policy, which means it becomes a criminal matter. Intent was not to “stop” the small woman at the door, but to kill that woman. For what? Those American citizens had been invited in by the Capitol Police. There is a LOT of video of that. I agree that Babbitt was in the wrong, but you don’t execute people for being in the wrong. Or if that’s now the gold standard, let’s see it applied in Portland and Minnesota.

         • 100%…my sentiment as well.

           Now it’s swept it away as if…nothing. But God saw. My only solace.

4. The Connecticut map is a good one. I live in PA and I had never heard of the Yankee/Pennamite wars until 2 years ago.

5. “The Republic ended in November 2020 and the Oligarchy began.”

   Really? Nov 2020 is when the maskirovka was peeled back just a bit further. Some might argue that the Republic was mortally wounded, if not outright slain, in 1913. Not sure I agree with 1913, but it was certainly before 11/2020. It is clear that by 1947 things had been set in motion so that speaking out against the rot became socially awkward, to say the least. By the 1970’s the rot (in its various manifestations) was firmly part of popular culture, and this did not happen by random chance or mere happenstance. Today, noticing is Hate Think, and saying out loud that you’ve noticed is one of any number of Hate Crimes.

   • Yes, there has been a sliding scale, sliding in one direction, and halted briefly by President Trump — but we saw how the swamp handled him. In October 2020, you could tell me who ran the Executive Branch of government. In November 2020 you couldn’t. Today you can’t.

     Maybe I mischaracterized the point. The last nail was driven home in November 2020 and the coffin has been sealed.

     • 1861 was the beginning of the end. That was the time power trumping the Constitution went big.

       Then of course, FDR… that guy was a whacko.

       But yeah, there’s certainly no iota of doubt left anymore.
       -Kle.

       • The era of states rights, brought to an end by the War of Northern Aggression/Civil War? Some would say that’s true. It was also a beginning of the power of big central banks in America.

         Others would suggest that there were more recent events like going off the silver standard and wild spending backed by the Federal Reserve.

         The nation has morphed over time. What do you think of my thoughts on the blog today regarding cultural revolution?

6. All this racist b.s. is lowering standards so that more people don’t “fail”. Is one ethnic group over represented? Why? Isn’t it cultural, not ethnicity? Intact family units where both parents (or a strong single parent) who demand children succeed seem to produce successful children.

   Back when I was running car lots, someone remarked I had promoted a lot of women and Latinos. Angrily, I told that person I promoted people who got the job done. People! I didn’t care about their sex (or orientation), ethnicity or even if they liked me. Suck ups didn’t get promoted.

   I should add I was running car lots because I got the job done, not because I was “Uncle Frank”.
   One owner’s son, and one General Manager’s son, were fired by me. One I fired now runs a dealership in Wyoming while the other is sitting in state prison.

   How frustrating it must be for a woman, or someone of “color”, to bust their ass to succeed only to have the herd saying they achieved because of some preference or quota?

   • Now that I self-identify as a person of color, I can tell you that I don’t feel that I get any respect.

   • +1

7. Believe it or not, circa 1980, the WalMart in Rogers, Arkansas, the next town over from HQ in Bentonville (quaintly referred to as “Bend-Over-Ville” by Wally-World’s vendors) had a pretty well stocked reloading department. I’m not sure what other branches were so stocked.

   • My local Walmart doesn’t stock reloading supplies. Is that because I self identify as a person of color?

8. Better with math than narcotics. You made a wise choise.

   • I don’t think that I’d make a great drug dealer, John. I’d treat it like a military operation rather than a commercial enterprise.

9. Serfs don’t need to know even how to add and subtract. In the techno-fuedal age coming calculators will take care of it. Even now I see check out clerks who can’t do simple addition and subtraction to give change.

   • No, they just stuff banknotes and change in your hand. It’s been years since somebody gave me change correctly by counting it back.

     With the rise of the welfare state, when people can make more money by not working and taking the government cheese instead, it will be interesting to see who ends up bussing dishes.

10. I know you majored in Maths postgrad. Numbers, and all of that. Report yourself for racism, immediately.

11. If Ashli had been American african, the gallows would already be erected. And the riots underway. Nationwide, yo.
