To begin with, this is your president. This ought to be one of the most shameful things ever said by a sitting president.

Dave Hardy reporting on Virginia’s stance on the case in front of SCOTUS (NY State Rifle and Pistol).
“Following the change in Administration on January 15, 2022, the Attorney General has reconsidered Virginia’s position in this case. The purpose of this letter is to notify the Court that Virginia no longer adheres to the arguments contained in its previously filed brief. Virginia is now of the view that New York’s handgun permit regime is irreconcilable with the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which secures an individual right to bear arms outside the home for self-defense.”
So far, the new governor of Virginia continues to impress me. Hopefully this trend will last.
Continuing his great video content and presentations, Chris Baker at Lucky Gunner discusses chokes for home defense shotguns. Sure enough, as soon as he said Lucky Gunner had gotten a shipment of Federal Flight Control in and it may be gone by the time this video was viewed, yep, they’re out of it.
“As seen in the body-worn camera video released by Minneapolis Police, Mr. Locke appears to be sleeping on the couch during the execution of a no-knock warrant, “ stated Bryan Strawser, Chair, Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus. “He is awoken with a confusing array of commands coming from multiple officers who are pointing lights and firearms at him.”
“Mr. Locke did what many of us might do in the same confusing circumstances, he reached for a legal means of self-defense while he sought to understand what was happening, “ added Rob Doar, Senior VP, Governmental Affairs.
“The tragic circumstances of Mr. Locke’s death were completely avoidable, “ stated Doar. “It’s yet another example where a no-knock warrant has resulted in the death of an innocent person. In this case, as in others, the public should expect and receive full transparency and accountability from law enforcement agencies that serve and protect our local communities.”
“Amir Locke, a lawful gun owner, should still be alive, “ added Strawser. “Black men, like all citizens, have a right to keep and bear arms. Black men, like all citizens, have the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable search and seizure.”
The deceased wasn’t a suspect in any crime. Now he is dead.
No, I don’t want full transparency. No, there will never be full accountability for all of the thousands killed in police raids in America.
What I want is for this wicked practice to be outlawed. The men who perpetrate it aren’t heroes of the community. They are paid thugs doing the bidding of a police state.
There is some utopianism here, some tip of the hat to “we the government are here to help and make things better by fighting a war on drugs.”
I … DON’T … CARE … ABOUT … YOUR … WAR … ON … DRUGS. Nor do I support it. I don’t want you to conduct a war on anything.
There is also some tip of the hat to tax collection going on here. The FedGov gets taxes from the legal (and also addictive) narcotics sold by doctors/pharmacies. They just don’t get it when something natural is crafted by makers of liquor.
WILKES COUNTY, N.C. — A Wilkes County man pleaded guilty on Friday in Charlotte for distilling moonshine, according to The Charlotte Observer.
Clifton Ray Anderson Jr., 47, is from a farm community of Boomer and is the fifth person to plead guilty for a white-lightning distribution ring out of the county.
Anderson Jr. pled guilty to possession of an unregistered still and conspiracy to defraud the United States of excise taxes on distilled liquor.
Of his role in the ring, Anderson Jr. said “I’m the distiller. I’m the one who made it.” He said he was trying to help out the poor people in the community. He said many people struggle and don’t even receive food stamps in their county.
Anderson said he is a cattle farmer seven days a week and didn’t need the money, but did it as a service to others.
Prosecutors said Anderson leased a barn for $500 a month to produce more than 9,000 gallons of untaxed liquor from April 2018 to September 2020. He leased the barn from Gary Matthew Ray, 53, who has already pled guilty in the case.
Ray, along with Wilkesboro resident Roger Nance, 76, and Hamptonville resident Huie Kenneth Nicholson, 75, drove the moonshine to Virginia. They delivered it to James Patterson, 71, of Dinwiddie, Virginia to sell and distribute.
The ring cost the government over $100,000 in federal and state taxes. The conspiracy and illegal-still possession charges each carry a sentence of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Did you catch the part in bold? That’s sort of like the street thief saying you cost him money by buttoning your pocket when you walked down the street.
And it doesn’t slip past me that the liquor tax began when George Washington found a way to pay the back wages of the soldiers after the war of independence. Congress failed him by not coming up with the money promised to the soldiers, and he found a way. But this set the worst precedent imaginable.
Just to be clear, the price he cites isn’t related to the gun he’s shooting. The price he cites pertains to the stock Beretta 1301 ordered from the factory.
The gun he’s shooting is modified by Langdon Tactical with an extended mag tube, forend including Magpul attachment points, Aridus Industries adapters, and a Magpul stock. This raises the price a bit.
“We are on day eight of this occupation. Our city is under siege. What we’re seeing is bigger than just a City of Ottawa problem. This is a nationwide insurrection. This is madness. We need a concrete plan to put an end to this,” said the chair of the board, Ottawa City Council member Diane Deans, at the beginning of the nearly two-hour-long virtual discussion.
So the answer is given to her.
Protest organizer Benjamin Dichter says people who are unhappy about the honking should be contacting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and ask him to lift COVID-19 mandates.
“To anybody who is annoyed, we apologize. Please call Justin Trudeau, his office, and get these mandates lifted, and we’re out of here,” Dichter said at a press conference in Ottawa on Feb. 6.
Trudeau has refused to meet with the protesters.
Oh, you mean give up our power? That’s what it’ll take? Um … no. We want somebody to go in and shoot people.
Or something else, mind you, like wet operations, or agent provocateurs. Canada has an intelligence service, doesn’t it? At some point, Trudeau will turn his dark hats against the people with false flag events. Watch for it.
Listen to the awful, meandering, girlish, effeminate, overly dramatic cry fit Justin Trudeau displays in this video, in juxtaposition with what’s really happening. My God, how did that little girl get elected?
Wow. The Canadian government had better handle this extremely, extremely carefully. If they use force to stop an absolutely peaceful movement, they risk losing their legitimacy entirely. https://t.co/4UbrAvMlM4
Does it seem like what Trudeau said to you? No, not unless you’re a statist and communist and want to maintain power at all costs. But he doesn’t mind telling lies about other people.
Mortality worsened in 2021 vs. 2020 despite widespread vaccinations
A spike in Mortality among younger, working-age individuals coincided with vaccine mandates
The spike in younger deaths peaked in Q3 2021 when Covid deaths were extremely low (but rising into the end of September)
On Tuesday, financial insurance company Unum reported that their Life segment saw an increase of 9% in their ratio of payouts vs. premiums (Benefit ratio), a 17.4% increase in 2021 vs. 2020 despite widespread vaccinations, and a 13.3% increase over 2019.

On Wednesday, Dowd noted that funeral home company Carriage Services saw a 28% increase in September 2021 vs. 2020, and a 13% increase in August vs. the same period. Funerals and cremations are up 12% and 13% respectively on the quarter.
And no, it’s no from Covid deaths.
$UNM reported today in Life segment a Q4 increase of Benefit ratio of 9% y/y (payout vs premiums)
In 2021 they saw a 17.4% increase vs 2020. This is higher than the 13.3% increase vs 2019. So the higher payouts in 21 are occurring with a miracle vaccine & less virulent strains pic.twitter.com/3hO5QNslTa
$SCI saw +6.7% increase in quarter y/y as well…not same magnitude but trend is up. Stock was up 63% in 2021 as well. Business was good despite the “miracle” safe & effective vaccines. pic.twitter.com/ApylWxFIh3
No one on earth keeps closer track of probability and statistics and money that an actuarial working at an insurance company. No one. Without the actuarial, they go bankrupt
All walks of life affected by the mandates are at the RCMP checkpoint in Milk River.

Here is a cross stitch my wife did for me before we were married. It embodies what I was – a horseman, trainer, and outdoorsman. I actually looked like that at one time, and I could make horses dance a jig for me. I could make a horse trust me enough to go anywhere.
So, if these are good Cowboys and they intend to stay, they will either need to have stalls and cover for the horses, or horse blankets, and plenty of horse “sweet-feed,” clothing, tents, food and heat. We’ll see how long they stay, but every addition is a good thing, even if temporary.
What I would so like to happen, and in fact would pray for, oh so earnestly pray for, beg for, plead for, is a Candian cop to walk up to one of those guys and start yelling, and a horse do what horses do when they feel threatened – put a hoof in his face, while it was all captured on video.
If you’ve never had a horse hoof put into your body from one of those massive thighs, you’re missing something special. But maybe not. Maybe they’ll just drop a turd beside a police cruiser.
I repeat myself. Where is the American trucker convoy, and where are the American protesters? They’re having a party in the Toronto. What are we doing?
The man who was mocked on Twitter in 2019 for raising concerns about feral hogs is now being defended as a modern-day prophet due to a “feral swine bomb” that is ravaging the San Francisco Bay Area.
The New York Times detailed in an article on Tuesday how feral pigs have been threatening drinking water and damaging property outside the Golden Gate City, leading many local residents to seek out their destruction.
“They are tearing up lawns, ripping through golf course fairways, threatening the drinking water and disturbing the harvests at Napa vineyards,” the Times wrote. “Many Californians want them dead.”
The issue has become so significant that legislation was introduced in California last month that would make it easier for feral swine to be hunted. While hunters are currently required to purchase a $25 “tag” in order to hunt a single pig, the bill would allow hunters to target an unlimited number of swine instead.
“In California, 56 of the state’s 58 counties have wild pigs. The swine are inflicting a mounting economic toll in Lafayette, a suburb in the East Bay, where the pig invasion seems most acute,” the Times added. “Before the pandemic the city shelled out $110,000 when pigs, rooting for grubs, churned soccer and baseball fields like a rototiller.”
The financial costs—as well as concerns over water supply contamination due to the many diseases feral swine can spread—have led residents to begin recognizing the havoc states such as Texas have long dealt with.
Feral pigs in the San Francisco Bay Area are tearing up lawns, threatening the drinking water and disturbing vineyard harvests. They're part of what one federal official called a "feral swine bomb" — and many people want them dead. https://t.co/smZ4xQ8hi1
The environmental destruction caused by this invasive species (or combined with an escaped farm population) is extreme. There is no more destructive wild animal in America than feral pigs.
It isn’t just the deer hunters wanting to keep pressure off of the herd. You know why the government of West Virginia doesn’t want to decimate the feral pig population?
Because they make money off of it.
This will be fine until some little child gets gored by tusks, or crops get decimated instead of the wild pig population. Then they’ll write stories about the out-of-control pig population in local newspapers and lament how there’s nothing that can be done to control it.
Then hunting guide companies will spring up out of nowhere to guide out-of-state hunters who want to kill feral pigs. Just like in Texas, where they have chosen not to eradicate the population.
Yea, in Texas too, where land owners charge money for hunting feral pigs, and so they have a vested interest in having the nasty critters around.
So solve the problem then. Lethal removal works, you just have to stop trying to stop the lethal removal. What folks have found is that the AR-15 is perfect for the job.
Oh wait. California restricts magazine capacity and forces owners to have that bastardized grip. Too bad. You’ll have to suck down your nasty water, Bay people. Or change the gun control laws.
