Praxis: In praise of the Woobie.

Why The Woobie Is The Greatest Military Invention Ever Fielded

Couldn't happen to a more deserving RINO.

Chris Christie fades into darkness

What matters?

To quote the Bard: "Who hath measured the ground?" CT rag writes ludicrous "analysis" of "assault weapon" ownership.

Wilton owns 3% of assault weapons in Fairfield County.

What crap. I wrote the following to the editor of this rag:

What a ludicrous self-deception. Measuring the incidence of military pattern semi-automatic rifles by basing it on the number of gutless fools who registered them under the new law is like rating the compliance with prostitution laws by the number of sex workers who turn themselves in for prosecution. Connecticut has something like an 80 to 85 percent noncompliance rate with the new law. Got that? That's hundreds of thousands of CT firearm owners who have refused to comply with this new tyranny. So why hasn't the notoriously anti-firearm governor and his even more notorious thug toady Mike Lawlor started the raids on homes where they KNOW such arms are stored? Because they are afraid of starting an armed resistance that could blossom into bloody civil war. Two years ago in April, I spoke at a huge rally on the steps of the statehouse there in Hartford and urged CT firearm owners that if their state government insisted upon making them criminals then they should accept that fact, embrace it and become the very best criminals they could be. It is evident that they took my advice to heart, yet the CT so-called press has chosen not to see that such tyrannical laws can be nullified by armed civil disobedience. Still, you are able to write such ridiculous "analyses" based upon what is known to be woefully inadequate "statistics." Why is that?

Bob Owens does better when analyzing the foibles of the enemy than when he attacks others he claims to represent.

Failed Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake Blames Others For Her City’s Violence

I reject the notion that there was ONE reason the M14 was superceded, but this makes interesting reading.

The United States Army Ordnance Department procurement system has always been its own (and the troops they are supposed to serve) worst enemy: Berlin Crisis, 1961: The Beginning of The End of The M14

Outstanding. "I grabbed the AK and started muzzle thumping him in the head." "And the three of us beat him until he was unconscious." (Updated with better link.)

France train shooting: US soldiers speak of the moment they stopped gunman and 'beat him until he was unconscious'

"We just did what we had to do. You either run away or fight. We chose to fight and got lucky and didn't die."

Well, the house air conditioner has now huffed it. Fearing that the new dog, whose chewing instinct is prodigious (he previously chewed a couple of boards off the back of the house), had gnawed through the wiring, I went out into the jungle that is my backyard to examine the unit. Nope. Fortunately the rawhide chews we bought seem to have preserved the A/C. But after checking the breakers and fuses, it is obvious that the unit has power, it just won't start up, emitting a click and a low electric whine like the fan is trying to start but is obstructed. However, an inspection of the fan blade/motor revealed no such simple obstruction. Any ideas? Can't call a service guy. They have a distressing habit of wanting a not-inconsiderable amount of money to do their black magic.

Well, have two doctor's appointments this morning, so I'll try to have more later.

Smart. Tell the customer he doesn't want what he says he wants.

Beretta Argues M9 Upgrade Cheaper Than MHS.

Why am I reminded of this?: We're No Angels, "A Gifted Salesman." Unfortunately for Beretta, that only works in the movies.

David Codrea: "Oath Keepers Must Be Force Multipliers to Ensure Truth is Shared."

Countless reports on Oath Keepers involvement as guardians at recruiting centers, at mine operations and in strife-torn neighborhoods provide constant reminders that the media is desperate to portray Oath Keepers as domestic enemies. That in turn colors the way the public perceives the group and its activities. Equally outrageous is how many so-called “conservative” and “pro-gun” bloggers and “pundits” swallow and parrot media lies — a case in point, those who have condemned the Ferguson outreach and propagated the “racism” innuendo, without once looking at what’s really happening there.

Good thing they were light "cowboy loads." Stupid is as stupid does. Negligent discharge almost blows off another man's balls.

I recall that when I was a Civil War re-enactor, we had events where the opposing unit got to inspect our cartridge boxes and vice versa. We also eventually had to go to the expedient of insisting that participants leave ramrods in camp, because stupid people fired off a couple in our general direction. Accidental shooting injures one during western performance at Hartsel Days.

Why White People Seek Black Privilege

But Dolezal and King make it clear that America’s attempts to repair the effects of that horrific history have now made black skin advantageous for a certain subset of activists, which is why people like Dolezal and now allegedly King have masqueraded as black for personal advantage.

Lights out. Got guns?

What Would Happen if a Massive Solar Storm Hit the Earth?

Don't cry for him, Argentina (nor should anybody else for that matter).

Jeff Greenfield is still thinking inside the box, as if the paradigm hasn't shifted: Democratic Blues: Barack Obama will leave his party in its worst shape since the Great Depression—even if Hillary wins.

This has never been about traditional politics as a metric of success. It has always been about wrecking the country and dividing it up into as many little feuding pieces as possible so that this country's traditional enemies -- from within and without -- can achieve our defeat in detail. By that standard, Barack Obama has done exactly what he set out to do and thanks to the corruption and weakness of his pretended enemies in the GOP elites he has been a stunning success.

LATER: And in a related thread -- Why Obama is torpedoing Hillary Clinton: The president craves a successor who will preserve his legacy

Beyond the bad blood, however, Mr. Obama has a more important reason for doing her in. As I have written previously, he needs a successor he can control. Over the years, including recently, he has waxed rhapsodic over a possible third term to continue his “fundamental transformation of the nation.” Mrs. Clinton will not provide it; therefore, she must be sidelined. If Mr. Obama does not want an investigation to go forward, it does not go forward. Witness the scandals involving the Internal Revenue Service, Benghazi, Veterans Administration and Operation Fast and Furious gunrunning. . .

The Democratic ticket will be Joe Biden-Elizabeth Warren. That’s what Mr. Obama wants. And what Mr. Obama wants, Mr. Obama gets. This is “Game of Thrones.” And Mr. Obama is winning.

VA’s McAuliffe Could Add to Ranks of Anti-Gun Voters With Proposed Registration Change

“Why are they doing this? Perhaps it has something to do with a recent report on the huge influx of immigrants into Virginia that appears to be turning the state blue, since a majority of foreign-born residents favor the Democratic party. The same is true for felons: Felons vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.” And Democrats vote overwhelmingly for “gun control,” with semi-auto bans, registration schemes masked as “background checks,” and a ban on private sales all part of the party’s platform. That definitely places both the voter fraud issue and the “immigration” issue within the purview of what’s appropriate for “single issue” gun groups to consider in their candidate rankings and endorsements.

Two great Malcolm Muggeridge quotes from Ann Barnhardt.

Bill Whittle on The Great Unlearning: How Our Society Became So Stupid.

"Fox News Anchored in Stupidity on 14th Amendment."

The anchor baby scam was invented 30 years ago by a liberal zealot, Justice William Brennan, who slipped a footnote into a 1982 Supreme Court opinion announcing that the kids born to illegals on U.S. soil are citizens. Fox News is treating Brennan's crayon scratchings on the Constitution as part of our precious national inheritance.

Big Government as the New Terminator

Social observers from Aristotle and Juvenal to James Madison and George Orwell have all warned of the dangers of out-of-control government. Lately, we have seen plenty of proof that they were frighteningly correct.

I can hardly wait. Send out for the popcorn. When racist collectivists gnaw on one another.

No plans to stop, says Black Lives Matter. And President Obama may be next, the movement’s co-founder says in an interview.
