To begin with, this is your president. This ought to be one of the most shameful things ever said by a sitting president.
"Do you have any words to the victims of the hurricane?"
BIDEN: "We've given everything that we have."
"Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?"
BIDEN: "No." pic.twitter.com/jDMNGhpjOz

We must have spent too much money on Ukraine to help Americans in distress. I don't…… [read more]
We had lunch in Juarez. A dust storm began to gather and so we walked back to Texas.
While standing in line at the Texas border, two uniformed US agents escorted a man back to Mexico right in front of us. Todd asked the lead agent if this was a Title 42 deportation. The agent said yes. Todd asked if the man was Mexican and the agent said no. The officer would not say where the deportee was from.
Get ready for a lot more of that, and much fewer deportations, if any.
So let me get this straight. You want to produce ammunition because hunting is a sport in which social distancing is practiced and social distancing is a good thing.
Meh.
Who sent you out to say that – your PR team? I don’t think you understand your clientele. Fire your PR team, now.
People will keep buying good ammunition at the best price they can get, but not because you see hunting as a social distancing sport.
And now that we’re being honest with each other, I don’t really appreciate the insulting tone of your first video.
John MacArthur, discussing joy, obedience to God’s law and sanctification. Here is the takeaway: “You know you’re a Christian not by the perfection of your life, but by the direction of your life.”
I think he doesn’t understand that he’s misusing the terms “energy” and potential energy.” However, his point remains true, and I would have thought the point intuitive. The energy needs to be applied to the right location, and putting components into a vise as a cantilever isn’t the right way to approach the problem. Keep everything along main axes if possible to minimize the torque (force × moment arm) applied to the component itself. Things can break. But I’ve seen situations where this wasn’t entirely possible.
Every once in a while I run across videos of people on this blog. This is Fred’s new pet cat. I thought you would enjoy seeing him come home to his cat.
The parent companies of both Colt and CZ have been negotiating a deal that may make firearms history. CZ is looking to buy out Colt following years of financial trouble for the iconic American firearms company.
While some people may not like the idea of a Czech firm swooping in to buy up one of the most storied manufacturers in American history, gun enthusiasts might see this in a completely different light. CZ might not be a household name like Colt, but gun owners everywhere know about CZ.
According to the CZ Group, the two have agreed to initial terms and CZ is now performing due diligence work before finalizing the deal. CZ expects to finish the due diligence period by the end of January 2021.
“The parties have reached an agreement in principle on key commercial parameters of the transaction,” said the CZ Group in a statement (.pdf). “Execution of the definitive documentation for the transaction is estimated to take place by the end of January 2021, subject to completing the negotiations, finalizing the transaction documentation, and obtaining necessary approvals of the relevant stakeholders.”

The question remains, what will a CZ-operated Colt’s Manufacturing look like? Hopefully a lot like Dan Wesson. CZ acquired Dan Wesson Firearms in 2005 in a move that revitalized the American company while preserving its legacy.
This is an interesting move, and not one I quite understand, frankly. I’m not sure what the business model will look like. Colt, like Remington, may be irretrievably lost.
For instance, has CZ considered that it may be impossible to conduct business in a financially responsible manner in a Northern state, combined with union labor? Why wouldn’t they move Colt to a right-to-work state? Or maybe they are considering that.
I’m also not quite sure what it means to purchase Colt? Does this mean purchasing the rights to designs, branding, machinery, people-equity and intellectual property? Also consider that any purchase of a company also means responsibility for debt.
CZ is making some fine equipment today. I’d hate to see the brand sullied by failure to turn Colt around.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being by Him; and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.”
John 1:1-4
“In the unity of the Godhead there be three persons, of one substance, power, and eternity; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. The Father is of none, neither begotten, nor proceeding: the Son is eternally begotten of the Father: the Holy Ghost eternally proceeding from the Father and the Son.”
No Walmart employee was scared, for if they were, they would have been running for cover. The man was a customer seeking a part, not a mass shooter. He carried the gun in that he had previously purchased from Walmart.
To be sure, he could have cased the firearm, and I probably would have, but there was still no law violated. Just a “Karen Call” to the police. In defense of the 911 operator, he tried to ask the right questions, and also simply recommended that the manager go talk to him and ask him to leave.
No one ever did that – not Walmart employees, not the police. Like the civil rights lawyer said, “If there’s going to be drama, it’s going to be in Walmart.” I do not go to Walmart. The sell cheap Chinese crap, and their employees are awful.
Watch until the end. While the 911 operator tried to settle things down, the cops barged in carrying a patrol rifle and tased him, having to figure out what the charges were after the fact, charges beaten in court. Still, he lost his job because Walmart, and Karens.
Finally, look at the screen shot of the local news. Be reminded again just how awful, inaccurate, terrible, dishonest, underhanded, perfidious, and untrustworthy the media is. They … are … just .. atrocious. To find the truth, go anywhere but the legacy media. Literally, whatever they say is false. This is a good rule of thumb.
Neighbors in the Dupuyer area had warned him about the dangers of grizzly bears in the area. He had taken their advice and was carrying a Smith & Wesson 629 stainless steel .44 magnum revolver. The revolver was loaded with 305 grain HSM cartridges. He had a can of bear spray.
[ … ]
As the bear knocked him down and twisted him, he managed to free the revolver from the windbreaker, release the thumb break, and draw the revolver.
He could see the back of the bear, but not it’s head. He shot the bear in the back, into the shoulder/chest, with the muzzle of the revolver just inches from it. Ken said, maybe he should have shot her in the head, but he did not want to shoot his own leg.
Ken says the first shot worked. It hurt the bear. The bear immediately let him go and retreated. As the bear turned and presented its side, he shot again at its chest. As the bear staggered away and paused, Ken emptied the revolver at it.
Then Ken attempted to reload with an HKS speed loader. The HKS is a handy way to carry spare ammunition. It seemed to take a long time to reload. He attributed the lack of speed to a lack of experience.
The bear staggered away. Ken finished reloading, assessed the damage, and limped back to his truck. He was able to drive to the hospital in Conrad. It took him four months to heal.
Dean has the rest of the story. This speaks well of the practice of carrying a large bore handgun with you.
A large bore long gun, of course, would be better in certain circumstances, but I’ll willing to bet that a shotgun or rifle would have been knocked out of his hands during the initial assault, and that a handgun was much easier to turn and wield.
Finally, there is the added advantage that a handgun is on your person at all times – or at least it should be.

David Codrea links another troubling bill. According to Mom-at-Arms.
Going after those that teach gun safety now. In short, if someone teaches a firearm safety class in the safe handling of weapons and a student later goes out and commits a crime or “domestic terrorism” during a time of a civil disorder, the instructor will be held liable.
David has some thoughts as well. This sort of training is needful, and while making the prediction that they will go after such training, I’ll also make this prediction. This training will happen whether official and formal or recognized by any specific entity.
Where there is a need, there will be a product or service to fill that need.
