Slow Going Ahead

I got up today bursting to get to work.

Life had other plans. New refrigerator. Defective. Going through warranty claim is like pulling teeth- they want the 14-digit number from the receipt and there isn’t one, and of course you can’t talk to a human being. I suspect if I ever get through to one I’ll only understand about a third of the words, which I also understand makes me a Nazi.

Back when I can.

Hold off on loading new stuff, OK?

And I’ll have more comments on this when I get it attended to.

UPDATE

Suffice it to say I have a greater understanding of resentment against highly rewarded CEOs who preside over such customer-hostile after-purchase ways to make getting simple help such a labyrinthine Catch-22. I remember years ago trying to assemble furniture according to the instructions and fantasizing another scene for the Saw franchise– stick a bear trap with a timer around his neck and he’s got an hour to complete the assembly.

Anyway, I also had an article to write, and that takes precedence. I’m now gonna see how much of my inbox I can tackle, but expect a lot of tips to go unused.

Here It Comes

Mangione had a ghost gun, a type of weapon that can be assembled at home from parts without a serial number, making them difficult to trace, investigators said. [More]

That and the suppressor will overshadow that he “raised in Maryland, has ties to San Francisco and a last known address in Honolulu, Hawaii,” Democrat strongholds all.

This is apparently his X feed.

And this appears to be his Facebook.

I’m going to look around before they’re deactivated, and gotta say I’m surprised they haven’t been.

The ‘Horrible Secret’ and Orwell in Spain

Thus, the first priority of the Soviet communists controlling the Spanish government was not fighting Franco’s army but the extermination of anarchists and Trotskyites (mostly internationalist, Jewish socialist revolutionaries). The anarchists were considered enemies because their political philosophy was diametrically opposed to that of the communists, and they refused to give up their weapons. [More]

They’re useful idiots until they’re not.

Dr. Miguel Faria takes us from Stalin ratting out his comrades to a Nazi/commie alliance of convenience and beyond, and shows how everything about murderous collectivists is a subversive assault against humanity.

That’s why they want our guns.

DOJ Proposal Suggests Unauthorized Use of NICS for NY Ammo Background Checks

So, if the FBI and DOJ don’t have authority to do ammunition checks, where do they get authority to allow New York State to use NICS for that purpose? [More]

Made possible by GOP Quislings, so will Republicans do anything to clean up their mess after they assume power in January?

A Person of Interest

Person of interest in fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson caught with manifesto, gun and fake ID at McDonald’s [More]

I’d say that rules out the “professional hit man” speculation, unless you add the qualifier “dumb @$$ professional hit man.”

Shall we guess political sympathies? I guess what’s in the manifesto will determine how soon they let us know what it says.

La Misérable

Why would Yoran go easy on a black felony murderer while throwing the book at a defendant she refers to as “the white man”? To ask the question is to answer it. Hopefully, she will soon face justice herself. [More]

At least Javert had self-awareness and decency to drown himsel in the Seine…

And this just in:

Not guilty verdict in Daniel Penny trial [More]

Something Must Be Done!

Health insurance companies have started removing images of their leadership teams from their websites following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. [More]

And that will do what?

Leave it to rope-selling capitalists to suggest this old Stalinist trick.

There are plenty of other ways to find out and the internet is forever.

Self-styled authorities chasing after illusions not only doesn’t work, it’s harmful.

OK, Now Talk

Ask him if he had any interactions with the Secret Service about his gun.

Look Who Doesn’t Want You to Have a Gun

Boston City Councilor Arrested on Federal Public Corruption Charges in Alleged ‘Kickback’ Scheme – “The charges stem from an alleged kickback scheme she orchestrated to obtain several thousand dollars in taxpayer money in exchange for bribes paid” [More]

How ’bout #stopdemocratcrime … ?

Oh, We Got Trouble

On deporting families with mixed immigration status (such as the parents being in the U.S. illegally, while their kids are citizens): “I don’t want to be breaking up families, so the only way you don’t break up the family is you keep them together and you have to send them all back.” [More]

And since there’s no legal way to deport a citizen, that means scratch this one off the list.

Wants Dreamers to be able to stay…

Because nothing says American self-interest like officially normalizing leftist foreign nationals.

As for “criminals out first,” last I checked a different branch of government will be adjudicating on due process and appeals…

Me, I’m just wondering when the band uniforms arrive.

Good thing none of this has anything to do with that “single issue”… right, Chuck?

What It All Boils Down To

‘Gun control is dead, and we killed it’: the growing threat of firearms that can be made at home [More]

SOMEONE WHO IS BAD COULD GET GUNS!!!!

Now show what it’s like when good people can’t get one.

What a useless piece of hysterical fear porn.

And if you have 44 minutes to waste (I didn’t and the first five were enough for me), here’s:

Mariana is on a mission to expose how ghost guns — untraceable firearms built from kits bought online — are fueling violence across the country. [Watch]

Do they still make Midol?

Blend Over, Here It Comes Again

Under the banner of establishing global governance in the metaverse, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is pushing digital ID for all users, so all blended reality interactions and transactions can be tracked-and-traced. [More]

Hey, if you aren’t doing anything wrong… and it’s not like systems are ever hacked.

If only there were a way to control the aftermath, because some things really do call for French Revolution solutions…

O Canada

Canada on Thursday announced a ban on 324 assault-style firearms in a continued effort for more stringent gun control. Leaders in Canada also said that they are working with the government of Ukraine to see how the guns can be donated to support the fight against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. [More]

What do we expect from subjects of the Crown?

It’s not like it will do any good anyway. Ukraine started out showing such promise and then decided it didn’t trust it’s people, either.
