Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, A Pirate’s Life for Me

450px Look At Me, I'm The Captain NowA tanker was ‌boarded by six armed people who took control ​of the vessel ​and diverted it towards Somalia … UKMTO provided no ​further details and ​did ⁠not say whether the tanker or its ⁠crew ​were safe. [More]

The following is from “A Pirate’s Life for Me!,” one of my GUNS & AMMO columns from 2002:

Hoses against weapons. Trembling behind hatches. Everything but standing up on your sea-legs and fighting. How about just opening fire on them?

The IMO’s Captain Hartmut Hesse says armed guards on ships “will only increase violence, it will not deter the pirates.”

The IMO guide Piracy and Armed Robbery Against Ships, cautions “The carrying and use of firearms … is strongly discouraged. [It] may encourage attackers to carry firearms thereby escalating an already dangerous situation, and any firearms on board may themselves become an attractive target for an attacker. The use of firearms requires special training and aptitudes and the risk of accidents… is great.”

…Agreeing with Captain Hesse, and chastising Lloyd’s List for editorially suggesting otherwise, is Captain John Dalby of Marine Risk Management, a “maritime asset recovery and protection” company. While admitting “It is the sailors… who are being kidnaped, beached, set adrift … or summarily killed,” he warns that “only tragedy will result from inexperienced people trying to fight fire with fire. Leave intervention and reaction to those who are best equipped and trained for it.”

The thought strikes: Minnesota doesn’t have nearly enough of these types. And they’ll all vote Democrat.

Har!

We’re the Only Ones Evicted Enough

San Diego County will stop letting federal immigration agents train at local firing ranges [More]

Remember when San Diego used to be Republican?

Remember when California was?

What changed?

2001…?

This “one or two generations” mantra the gunfluencers are feeding us is going the wrong way!

What the ‘Gunfluencers’ Refuse to Admit

We are losing Texas. Unconstrained immigration has introduced cultures that have no intention of assimilating to become Americans. Political Islam is on the march, undeterred by federal, state, or local action. [More]

Don’t tell me.

Tell Ranjit, Stephen, Kostas, Hannah, and Cam.

Tell self-blinded gun owners who agree with them on this without ever taking the challenge.

Yearning to Breathe Free Stuff

(21:38) Large numbers of these people that have come into our country over the last 30 years from other places in the world other than Europe are only here to consume. In other words, they’re here to acquire wealth and consume it. They didn’t come here to become Americans because they don’t know what it means to be an American… (30:26) We know from experience that when a
society can’t assimilate it usually destroys or the entity that refuses to be assimilated destroys the society. [Watch]

Alternatively, you could believe in “gun influencer” exceptions being the rule.

None Dare Call It Treason

The First Circuit just made a horrendous ruling, saying illegals arrested by ICE should get bond hearings rather than mandatory detention. Seriously [More]

Hell, make ’em all sammiches and invite ’em to the ball game…

Frickin’ Democrat judges.

Islamic Foot-Washing Stations Planned for Dallas Airport – The project is meant to prevent Muslim travelers from washing their feet in public sinks before prayer. [More]

I guess expecting foreigners to adhere to our cultural norms is intolerant.

What happens if we go over there and violate theirs?

Hey, just give ’em a generation or two to “assimilate”…

UPDATE

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday directed a review of state grants to entities operating two major Texas airports over religious accommodations after Dallas Fort Worth International Airport said it would no longer move forward with a proposal to install Islamic washing stations. [More]

So… they’ll still be allowed to wash feet in sinks…?

Hasan Piker’s INSANE Rant: ‘I Wipe My Bleep With the Constitution’ — yet Top Dems Campaign With Him [More]

Making it impossible for any of them to do anything but perjure themselves when they take the oath of office…

Making this all the more relevant:

[W]hen an Islamist organization looks at an American Senate primary and publicly celebrates the result, Americans are allowed to notice. We’re allowed to ask why. We’re allowed to ask what exactly they’re celebrating.

Things that make you go “Hmm…”:

The Pathway to Hell

Peggyflanagan

“I know that we can fix our broken immigration system, secure the border, and create a real pathway to citizenship that aligns with our values.” [More]

She wears a hijab to show “solidarity.”

She knows what she wants to do. Her supporters know what she wants to do. Gun owners paying attention know what she wants to do.

Why don’t our “gun rights leaders”?

Are You Sleeping, Bourgeoisie?

“We’re Here To Destroy The White Race”: Democratic Socialist Of America Hero Declares War On West [More]

So, it’s really not about “gun safety,” and when Everytown endorses DSA candidates, they are using their vast resources to enable the destruction of the Republic and the death of everyone trying to rebuild it or just anyone deemed purgeable.

I’ve kinda said that already many times, but who listens to me? Certainly not these guys

There can be no peace between our peoples.

And yes, I said “enemy.”

$#!+$ and Giggles

Talarico caught on tape giggling about his church housing illegal immigrants set for deportation [More]

When you think of men laughing, how often does the word “giggle” come to mind?

As for disregarding laws we oppose: Can the rest of us get away with that, too?

Enough IS Enough

She booted from office 15-term Democrat Dianna DeGette, who already was on the far left of the party. [More]

This level of ignorant disarmament fearmongering isn’t enough.

I was just saying we need more Ethiopian communists deciding our rights for us and taking our guns. Is here where I apologize to the gunfluencers, or should we wait another generation or two?

Hey, Melat’s a 2026 “Gun Sense Candidate”!

“Gun rights groups” need to be screaming about out how “commonsense gun safety” groups posturing themselves as middle America are enabling communists who hate the Constitution and will settle for nothing less than complete citizen disarmament.

Are you sleeping, bourgeoisie?

The Enemies Within

DHS General Counsel James Percival tore into the long list of activist left-wing judges who are acting in “open defiance” and trying to “run out the clock” as President Donald Trump executes his election mandate of mass deportation. [More]

If Republicans end up blowing it, guess what we’ll get more of.

On the plus side, louder voices than mine assure us just a few more generations will do the trick.

Jeremiah 14:14

Big money propels Dem megachurch pastor to victory in longshot Kansas Senate bid [More]

Naturally, he “demand[s] Congress pass gun control laws.”

United Mehodist Church, eh? Figures.

I wonder what the useful idiots supporting him think communists, Islamists, and Third Worlders they’re enabling do to Christians? They won’t be in Kansas anymore, that’s for sure.

As long as we still are, also get a load of this moron running for state representative:

We can respect the Second Amendment while also having the courage to say that weapons designed to inflict that level of devastation don’t belong in our schools, our neighborhoods, or in the wrong hands.

How can you truly “respect” something you’re clueless about?

The Talking Dead

The Oliver ghouls have upped their necromancy.

They remind me of nothing so much as an old Yoko Ono joke. That and Joanna of Castile.

As I’ve noted before:

He and his wife had their child Joaquin brutally taken from them. Those of us with children who have not suffered such a soul-eviscerating loss can only imagine the terror and agony they have had to endure and will be forced to live with every day for the rest of their lives. With that in mind, all people of good conscience will naturally feel sympathy and would offer comfort if we could. And with that acknowledged, our sympathy does not give sufferers leave to lay claim to our rights, especially when doing so serves the interests of violence monopolists and power interests obsessed with disarming their countrymen.

As it is, they’ve chosen to become pathetic clowns.

You know what? Let ’em.

It keeps a portion of grabber money from being spent somewhere more effective. That’s why I’m tempted to call Manuel Oliver (a Venezuelan immigrant  who opted to leave a corrupt Marx-inspired tyranny and mandate the same “gun control” edicts on his adoptive home as are imposed in the land he fled) “Our man in the gun ban camp.” Let him keep blowing it all on vanity theater that persuades no one and does not allow for comments/discussion.

Just start going after them for court costs after they lose.

We’re the Only Ones White Nationalist Enough

The man in the video, which is widespread on social media, says that “I don’t want any minorities here, that’s how it is.” Prior to that, the man stated “this is my f*g country.” [More]

Racism, of course, is a form of socialism. And immigration should be restricted to those whose presence will help secure the Blessings of Liberty.

Welcome the Stranger

“Melissa Esperanza Ramirez-Romero is a criminal illegal alien with charges for Vehicular Manslaughter and DUI. On July 26, 2026, ICE lodged a detainer against her,” the department told the paper. To make things even more infuriating, Ramirez is not only registered to vote in Connecticut but has voted REPEATEDLY. [More]

Sounds like a vibrant addition to any community…
