Never go beer-to-beer with mexican sharpshooter. Especially when you’re thirty years older than him (or in SP’s case, 25 years younger). That my excuse for being a bit abbreviated this morning.
Birthdays can’t wait, though: some Jew thinker; a proto-Californian; the guy who gifted us with Millard Fillmore; the guy who said, “Help yourself!” and spawned a genre; a guy whom I dearly wish was writing about contemporary politics; a guy who was the mayor of one too many people and got what he deserved for inflicting Diane Feinstein on us; and a guy with many, many stories.
Speaking of stories… news.

No reference to WhiskeyWarrior556? I saw a bunch of tweets about it this morning, but not sure about “reliable” news coverage (TW: reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Libertarian/comments/e0ss13/instagram_user_whiskey_warrior_556_currently_has/)
Best I can tell, a vet (in NY) got a red flag warning on him – possibly from an ex-wife who said he had multiple 30rd mags and the cops are on it like flies on shit.
see also: https://twitter.com/beinlibertarian/status/1198443222449709056 etc.
The whole thing is crazy in general – I mean I was at Ft Drum (on base the entire time), but you’d always have loose mags lying around and it wasn’t like you were turning all of them in to the armory after deployment – half the time they’d just be random pieces bouncing around in your footlocker when you got out.
I can’t imagine the mainstream media having any interest in this.
Too local?
No. They are totes OK with red flag laws and bans against icky gun stuff. This points out the problems with both – or at least could start a conversation about those problems. No reason not to let that sleeping dog continue to sleep.
If the guy was caught with icky gun stuff while the police were tossing his house because he had clearly done something illegal this would be a leading story.
Might want to wait before turning this guy into Randy Weaver, from what I’ve read there was no ‘red flag’ call and the guy may be a wife beater that was violating a restraining order.

That Old Guy Music really is tempo di tear-ass! Good times!
I heard the exchange between Tulsi and Buttigiegeie. What a little shit. Buttigiegeierere basically said he’s not willing to negotiate with people the dem establishment deem bad.
Totally in line with team blue thinking. You don’t talk to those you disagree with. The two big things I liked about the left as I grew up were free speech and anti war. *Shrugs*
We’ve gone from politics as a forum for discussion and compromise to politics as a means of identifying those who need to be driven from society.
This’ll end well.
It’s a reductionist trend on the left akin to the way disagreement was treated in the Soviet Union, as traitorous or if you were lucky, a mental illness.
Buttgig, how do you even pronounce that shit? All I can think of is Butt Gig. He reminds me of the kid we all knew in elementary school who would always volunteer to be hall monitor so he could snitch on the other kids. He just seems like an obnoxious little fuck.
As I understand it, it’s “BOOT-e-jej”.
But yea, I say butt-gag.
I’ve been seeing a story in the news. A kid apparently was making threats. His home was searched and weapons were found (a rifle and 100 rounds…) Missing from the report is who’s weapons. I assume they belong to the parents. But the report seems angled a different way.
The story they want to report was a) kid making threats and b) there was a gun in the house.
The gun could have been disassembled and the parts locked in separate containers with the ammo locked away in the garage – away from anywhere the gun parts were. But the would not sound like the kid was much of a threat so a) and b) is all you get.

You aren’t the hyperbole.

So I probably asked this before, but since I just poured a bit of the Buffalo Trace I bought for black Friday for 17 of your US dollars, I have a question for bourbon glibs. Which bourbon under 200 of my local currency as shown on this page would you say is best?
https://www.finestore.ro/whisky/bourbon
Elijah Craig Small Batch 94 Proof 0.7L? Evan Williams Single Barrel 0.7L? Four Roses Single Barrel 100 Proof 0.7L? Wild Turkey Rare Breed? James E. Pepper 1776 Bourbon 92 Proof 0.7L?
Elijah Craig.
Yes, I concur. The Pepper 1776 is good in that group as well, a little on the sweeter side, like Woodford.
I haven’t had pepper. I’ll keep an eye out. I have bib & Tucker, right now. I can’t recommend at the price point they’re selling.
how is the Pepper rye?
Haven’t tried that one.
Evan Williams Single Barrel is pretty good for the price.
Don’t buy Jack Daniels or Hudson. Do buy both the Bulliet’s rye & bourban.
I wish I could find Bulleit Rye in a store for that price.
My thoughts & prayers, you have them.
While I have not had Four Roses, Elijah Craig is the safest bet.
Bulleit rye. Four Roses. Wild Turkey.
1792 is outstanding. I really like Four Roses Small Batch. Haven’t tried their Single Barrel yet but have heard it was excellent.
Blanton’s, no need to even think about it, just buy it.
The Eagle Rare is pretty good also, but I’m really a fan of Buffalo Trace bourbons.

With IV antibiotics and fluids, the court said Ginsburg’s symptoms have abated, and she expects to be released from the hospital as early as Sunday morning.
Such a tease.
“the court said Ginsburg’s symptoms have abated, ”

I’ve been thinking about an impending Civil War II if these babies keep going with their authoritarian march. What am I willing to do to stop them in their tracks a la the founding fathers?
Answered honestly: Not one thing. It’s not that I love my comforts too much to fight for them; it’s that my life is such a mess that I’m too busy surviving, and by the time I’m not anymore, I’ll be too old or too dead.
Will my children fight for it? Nah. They know the concept of liberty, but are not passionate enough to fight for it and they have their own problems that will preclude fighting for something they’ve never had and will likely not be onerous enough to spur them.
The problem is timing. If you resort to violence too early, you aren’t morally justified, if you resort to violence too late, it’s already over.
I will assume the collective liberty consciousness will snap at once and we’ll get Hong Kong redux, only with weapons and various tiny quasi militias.
I agree about the timing, but the what our armed forces choose to do is a major factor. Unlike in the past, we do not have their firepower. I can’t imagine the response when gun confiscation begins.
Tools matter less than the will to use them. While I have little doubt that the hard left has the will to kill as many normals as necessary to achieve their totalitarian dystopia, I wonder if the armed forces do.
Aye, so it’s a question of how well infiltrated and indoctrinated they are. If the military fractures, the last civil war could look like nothing. Plus we’d be ripe for outright invasion.
Right now things are still too cushy.
I suspect most of the armed forces would not be in the side of the totalitarians.
But let’s presume for a moment that the kaka really has hit the oscillating air-movement device, that blood is running in the streets, and that plenty of local cops and some military are joining in the oppression.
It’s not a matter of technological or numerical superiority. Our side wouldn’t have that, and wouldn’t need it, necessarily. The countryside is too vast and, in plenty of places, the people are too wide-spread for any attempt at total control to succeed.
I said many years ago, and I think it’s still true today, that I’d hate to be the sorry sumbitch who has to take a company of infantry into the hills of Allamakee County where I grew up, to try to confiscate the local’s guns. There would be a crazy redneck with a .30-30 behind every tree, and they wouldn’t fight conventionally; they would loose a few shots into a bivouac at night, they would pop the guy who stepped away to take a piss, and if they had half-way smart members among them they’d go for leaders.
In the cities, things would really be ugly. If the pro-liberty forces were even halfway smart, they wouldn’t try to meet the totalitarians head-on. They’d do careful, selective assassinations; hit them where they sleep at night, hit them where they live. If local cops are called on to the roundups, and there again I suspect there would be some who would refuse – well, those guys don’t live in green zones. They have homes in the communities, and those homes would quickly become known.
Things would get very ugly very quickly, and no matter what else happens it would be the end of the United States in any recognizable form. It may well happen – but I hope I don’t live to see it.
Like the Irish troubles, only with a shitload more guns.

In a statement, the Ivy League referred to the protest as “regrettable.” Yale said that while it “stands firmly for the right to free expression,” it had issues with how the protesters went about their demonstration.
“The exercise of free expression on campus is subject to general conditions, and we do not allow disruption of university events,” Yale said in its own statement.
Yale coach Tony Reno said the unusual interruption was an example of what has made his university’s rivalry with Harvard stand the test of time.
“It’s what makes Yale Yale,” Reno said. “Our group, I’m sure if you asked them and the Harvard guys what makes it special, it’s not only the game of football. It’s the passions.”

The NCAA championship-winning fencing team at Columbia University was reportedly blocked from delivering a critical letter to President Trump on Friday during a visit to the White House.
Before heading into the White House East Room for a photo opportunity, an aide told the team, which had planned to confront Trump on his administration’s gender equity policies, that Secret Service discourages visitors from handing things to the president, The Washington Post reported.
The letter, which the Post obtained prior to the group’s visit, mentioned the administration’s “continued acts of gender-based prejudice and partnership,” the newspaper reported.
“The victory for which you mean to honor us today cannot be separated from the diversity that comprises our team,” their letter stated.
It continued, “We as collegiate fencers have committed our athletic careers to understanding how our individual strengths, irrespective of gender, may be best leveraged for the advancement of the collective. But while ours is a victory born from values of gender equality, yours is one shadowed by continued acts of gender-based prejudice and partisanship.”
Sanctimonious little shitheads. Get a job.
This letter is critical! And they were discouraged from giving it to the president. Discouraged, I tell you!
Can I get a quick rundown of the hostile groups allowed to give things directly to Obama? If not, sounds like they need to shut the fuck up.
Imagine if an NCAA champion inserted “Epstein didn’t kill himself” into a press conference or at the White House.

According to experts and law enforcement officials, ghost guns are becoming a more common — and increasingly concerning — way for criminals to bypass gun laws and get their hands on firearms.
Ghost guns are self-assembled firearms that are built from unregulated kits or 3D printers. Kits sold online or by sellers, who usually don’t have a government license, contain unfinished “receivers” or “frames.”
A receiver or frame is the main part of a gun that holds the firing mechanism. Under federal law, a completed receiver or frame is considered a gun even if it doesn’t have a trigger or a barrel. Receivers and frames that are manufactured under federal regulations are usually given a serial number, which would make a purchaser subject to a background check.
“Ghost gun” sellers, however, avoid breaking federal law by selling almost completed receivers — known as “80% receivers” — to buyers who can complete the piece on their own with tools or machinery. Some companies will sell the “80% receiver” along with the other parts necessary to fully complete a weapon; others sell the receivers on their own, leaving the buyer to purchase the remaining parts needed for their gun separately.
Ghost guns sellers operate openly online across the United States. As the Associated Press reports, “build parties” are not uncommon, events promoted on social media where people construct firearms together.
Since ghost guns are put together outside of licensed gun manufacturing systems and don’t have serial numbers, they are almost impossible for law enforcement to trace.
What we truly need is nonstop surveillance of the peasantry. No subject should be allowed to do anything without first obtaining permission from the proper authorities.
Self assembled guns are how you get terminators
As the Associated Press reports,
Oh, the Tom Friedman school of reporting. “As I was driving from the airport in Flyerover USA, the taxi driver pointed out the various houses where ghost guns are being made…”
“build parties” are not uncommon
Really? Where’s my invite?
I thought they were pretty much an early 2000 thing. Before tools for building became plentiful.

“These ghost guns completely circumvent our background check system and other federal and state laws meant to keep firearms from prohibited people,” Nick Suplina, the Managing Director for Law & Policy at Everytown for Gun Safety tells TIME.
David Chipman, a former Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) agent and senior policy advisor at the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, describes them as “an existential threat.”
“It’s almost like a build-your-own-pizza kit or buying some craft kit,” Chipman tells TIME. “[The kits] are being marketed as all of the things you need to build your own gun. Some of these sites say you can build it in 15 minutes.”
Yeah, okay. Here’s a paper bag to breathe into.
Ghost guns – that sounds scary. ?
See straff’s current avatar.
Now I’m scared AND turned on.
He’s not entirely wrong. It only took me an hour to build an AR the first time and that included the time to find the detent springs I lost when they flew over my head because I didn’t secure them.
describes them as “an existential threat.”
The ATF or the Giffords Center? I’m not sure I’d go that far, but as an insider I’m sure he knows best.
All these people do is make me want one even more…
Buddy built one, I don’t know what he did wrong, but it jams often.
I’ve built 5 or 6 AR types and only had one with issues. It that was a 1990 build with a Sarco A1 surplus kit with feed ramp issues.
I thought RBG was moving to New Zealand if Trump won? What happened to that?

Our demands to South Park if it’s not BANNED:
1. Original creators to step down
2. A new diverse writing & art staff
3. New actors + characters (women, trans & immigrants)
4. A new relatable premise + setting
South Park shouldn’t be a propaganda vehicle for whiteness

LOLOL
The replies are hilarious.
So… they didn’t follow the fact that the ad campaign last year was #cancel South Park.
Is it a satire/parody account?
A quick look at their thread makes me say “yes”. And a pretty good one, too.
It’s impossible to tell anymore
The adjusted poll thing is a dead giveaway. Pretty funny though. Also, all of the outraged were busy interrupting college football games at that time.
*emphasis mine
They had a poll with two options:
-Yes, Ban South Park
-No, I am Transphobic
It has to be. Although I am sure there are plenty of woke out there who would love to ruin yet another thing.
That’s a parody account, right?
“Whiteness” is an inherently bad thing. Nobody is allowed to even depict it.
See, shit like this is what makes some white people believe that their race really is under attack and join up with actual white supremacist groups.
I [Animal] said many years ago, and I think it’s still true today, that I’d hate to be the sorry sumbitch who has to take a company of infantry into the hills of Allamakee County where I grew up, to try to confiscate the local’s guns. There would be a crazy redneck with a .30-30 behind every tree, and they wouldn’t fight conventionally; they would loose a few shots into a bivouac at night, they would pop the guy who stepped away to take a piss, and if they had half-way smart members among them they’d go for leaders.
And when you kill a cop patrolling a lonely stretch of road, the military governor has twenty five random people shot in the town square. It’s all about commitment. The majority of the people want to stay alive. And they’ll give the Gestapo your name, if that’s what it takes.
I’m not saying it’s not worth it, but it would be a long hard slog, requiring a lot of dedicated people with economic resources. All things considered, I’d just as soon be gone when it happens.
Yeah, there would be a quick escalation, atrocity leading to atrocity. I agree – I hope I’m gone before any such thing happens.
They’ll continue to brainwash the yutes via the education system, media, social media, pop culture, etc until there is only a small resistance.
“They’ll continue to brainwash the yutes via the education system”
This is the entire game. We fix that, or it’s game over within another couple of decades.
Someone mentioned the Troubles above. El Salvador is another.
I too hope to be gone before it kicks off.
That’s why you kill cops in the next county over, not your own.
The history of the world post-WWII is substantially a history of armed ornery civilians successfully telling their governments to go fuck a duck. Of course, those civilians were mostly commies who promptly set up governments that were even worse…
It only took me an hour to build an AR the first time and that included the time to find the detent springs I lost when they flew over my head because I didn’t secure them.
And you sold it to MS13, and started full time production in your garage.
Some tiny little spring from my brother’s Ruger 10/22 Takedown went airborne when he was cleaning it, and we spent about an hour looking all over the room for it. He got desperate enough to look through the garbage, and believe it or not, found it inside a beer can that was in the trash.

i usually don’t but this time i did just to be on the safe side. I voted for the asshole not for the cunt.
he’s mostly ineffectual but that is a good thing, doing mostly nothing is a quality in a president
Breaking free
Shepard Smith, the longtime news anchor who abruptly resigned from Fox News last month, condemned governments for attempting to “censor and stifle” journalists and launched thinly-veiled attacks at President Donald Trump in his first public comments since leaving the network, where he was frequent target of the president’s scorn.
“Intimidation and vilification of the press is now a global phenomenon,” Smith said onstage Thursday at an event put on by the Committee to Protect Journalists. “We don’t have to look far for evidence of that.”
——-
Smith began his opening remarks at the event by describing a free press as “the underpinning of a democracy,” adding that it “cannot be taken for granted.” He argued the concentration of media ownership worldwide, directly by governments or “corporate cronies,” has “narrowed the choice of independent news sources.”
Smith’s mutilated body was found not long after, dumped on a deserted stretch of road.
Trump doesn’t kill people, he lets them wither on the vine….
“And I was more than happy to collect a paycheck from those corporate cronnies for 23 years.” Shep did not say.
What had he said about the Clintons?
He’s a whiny little bitch.
Oh, come on. It’s not like there is any substantive difference between Orange tweeting mean things at you and being shot in the head, chopped into pieces, and carted out the back door in small packages.
Shep can always work for CNN, I’m sure they’d love to have him.
“guy who was the mayor of one too many people and got what he deserved for inflicting Diane Feinstein on us;”
Somehow in all the mainstream reporting of Jonestown it is always conveniently left out or glossed over the relationship that Jim Jones had with the SF proggie power structure. He delivered the votes that helped Moscone and Milk win and others win, even if he had to bus in hundreds of People’s Temple members from Oakland to do so. Just a couple weeks before it went down in Guyana, Harvey Milk, was writing to Carter telling him to stop any investigation of the shit going on down there. By that time it was blatantly obvious that he was running a seriously messed up cult. They left that part out of the movie too.
I ‘member, the original Koolaid drinkers
That happened when I was in high school.we started calling our Harry Buffalo 190 punch Guyana Punch. My buddy would go around parties with his sunglasses on saying he was Jim Jones and offering people Guyana Punch.
Flavor Aid, please.
I know, Ted……
Oh yeah!
Yeah, I’ve read about that. The entire power structure was knee deep in that shit, all because identity politics.
I remember watching it on TV, the media knew about the connections then, it wasn’t a secret, then Jonestown happened…
I’ve linked it here before, but for those who are interested here is the letter Milk sent just before the massacre. The Stoens were a couple that had a child that they said was being kidnapped down there and were begging law enforcement and politicians here to do something to stop the Jones madness. Most of the local Dem establishment here was tied to or helped by Jones. Some went on to be nationally known figures.

The Peoples Temple Christian Church is not located in my District, so I have no political ties or obligations to this church.
Milk the bald faced liar.
Funny how all of that gets swept down the memory hole when it comes time to rename something for Milk as a sop to gays.
Democracy dies in disinformation
The three major Democratic committees blasted Google on Friday for an ad policy that will allow politicians to run false ads across its platforms, including YouTube, in the run-up to the 2020 election. The Democrats also took aim at Twitter, without actually naming it, for banning all ads from politicians.
Google announced Wednesday an update to its political ad policy that would limit how ads could be targeted at voters, but would still allow politicians to run false ads.
A joint-statement provided to CNN Friday from the Democratic National Committee, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said, “we stand in full support of tech platforms removing demonstrably false content and instituting better transparency standards. That approach combats the spread of disinformation without harming civic engagement or limiting the ability of campaigns to connect directly with voters.”
The Democrats took issue with Google’s decision to limit how ads can be targeted, saying, “Tech companies should not reduce the power of the grassroots just because it is easier than addressing abuse on their platforms.”
Tech platforms have come under scrutiny for how they handle political ads since September when Facebook reaffirmed its commitment to allow politicians to run false ads. The DNC has previously taken issue with that policy, saying Facebook was allowing President Donald Trump “to mislead the American people on their platform unimpeded.”
Twitter made the decision last month to stop allowing politicians to run ads entirely, a determination the Democratic committees also took issue with in their statement. They wrote: “a blanket ban on all political advertising is a cop-out that fails to combat disinformation and harms voters’ ability to participate in our democracy, affecting voters of color in particular.”
If we don’t get to make the rules, democracy is broken.
Call me crazy, but I’d like to see a specific definition of “false” before I throw myself into the volcano.
“Not produced by the DNC”
They are so fucking full of shit and the fact that the rubes are getting wise to it is making them lose it. ??
Their MO seems to be doing despicable shit and then accusing their enemies of doing it instead.
Sometimes I think that the entire Mueller, Impeachment 3+ years running coup attempt is just a perpetual deflection.
“If we don’t get to make the rules, democracy is broken.”
The good news though, is that as soon as the dems are back in the Whitehouse, democracy will magically be fixed again without having to do anything.
I voted for the asshole not for the cunt.
So… yes means anal?
That restaurant review was almost as bad as the hideous Chinese-American abominations that the restaurant tried to pass as “Thai food”.
On the other hand, while I was in NYC earlier this week, I had the opportunity to dine at an excellent northeastern Thai restaurant in the burgeoning Thai district of Elmhurst in Queens. No liquor licence however, so you have to buy your Singha at the store next door.
HM, Howdy, I always wondered, who is that in your Avatar?
The painting is titled “A Mulatto”. I think the person is anonymous.
Good looking guy whoever he was,
does he have big dick energy though ?
I thought it was an actual portrait of you.
Pad Thai with peanut butter and spaghetti noodles?
That is the pedophilia of food right there.
Are crepes traditional Thai?
With rice flour, yes.
That looks yummy. I need to find good Thai closer to me.
I have a long sleeve t-shirt with ‘socialism kills’ printed on it. Every time I wear it out in public people tell me how much they like it. Today at the grocery store, three separate people approached me. Their comments were 1) I love your shirt, 2) your shirt is absolutely right, and 3) right on sister!
So, I’m convinced that a large number of people disagree with the socialist crowd.
And no one has ever told me they don’t like it.
your shirt sucks !
I had one that said Fuck Off, the offended people were who it was intended for, but I got a lot of laughs, this was in the 80’s
I wore my “Make Orwell Fiction Again” shirt out for the first time a few weeks ago and got several “love your shirt” comments.
“Their comments were 1) I love your shirt, 2) your shirt is absolutely right, and 3) right on sister!”
I just guessed already that you don’t live in SanFran or DC.
I am in the DC area.
Methodologically sound.
My perception re the cult that is the Marine corps… No way would we take up arms against our own private civilians. We would, however, gleefully participate in overthrowing a Snowflake State, should Our Commandant order such a necessity.
-Plisade
It is my impression that the armed forces of this country (unlike the civilian law enforcement community) actually teach respect for the Constitution, and the distinction between power and authority.
I trust the real soldiers more than the wannabe soldiers ie cops.
“Soldiers” interrobang
