A Solution in Search of a Problem

Elon Musk Unveils Prototype of Tesla’s Humanoid Robot Optimus, Says It Will Cost Less Than a Car [More]

I can think of less expensive ways to water my plants.  And as for working around machinery, no foreman worth his salt would allow a worker with all those attached cables that could easily get caught in things loose on the factory floor.

I’m also not a big believer in the invincibility of battlefield killbots.  I suspect, with all the clamoring, the real money will be in pervbots.

My first impression: I’d like to see a parody video where the thing walks on stage and slaughters Elon and his assistants in front of everybody, and then goes for the crowd.

Tangentially related, doesn’t this just say it all?

Lessons to be Learned

He failed to outrun the taser [Watch]

I don’t know if all of you can even watch this if you’re not on Facebook — or if you have a half hour to spend on it even if you can — but I found this instructive from several points of view, starting with the “Only One’s” bullying arrogance and with the way the family, through their words and behaviors, all but guaranteed the outcome.

Don’t talk to the police.  Had that simple rule been followed there would have been no “evidence” except unprovable allegations by a party with an axe to grind.

The other thing I find instructive is a frustratingly prevalent mindset revealed in the comment by “Todd Ward.”

Something Katz Dragged In

“We have had enough,” Katz said in a statement announcing the indictment. “There are basic rights that New Yorkers should have in this City, and one of them is the right to safety when commuting to work, using the subway to take our children to school, and knowing we can safely come home to our families.” [More]

That must be why she wants your guns.

A Lestering Sore

Dr. Phil guest claims ‘White supremacy is embedded in everything’ in segment on cultural appropriation  [More]

“Cultural appropriation” like hair straightening?

Here’s Lester cautioning us about racial slurs. What the hell does he think calling everyone who’s not a Marxist a “white supremacist” is?

At least those who know him best aren’t fooled. You can’t even graduate with a GPA like that. Figures they’d hire him to teach.

A Woman’s Touch

GOP Rep. Stefanik’s name pushed as Trump’s possible running mate – Narrative is that he will select a woman [More]

What, the candidate who said she wanted to ban bump stocks and got a “D-” from Numbers USA on immigration?

Must be some more of that 3D chess I keep hearing about…

So Much for Popular Demand

This just means that the public at large had no interest in seeing not only a gay rom com, but one with graphic sex scenes. [More]

You sure can’t tell by the way it’s being …uh… forced down everyone’s throats by globalists, government, academia, the media, and woke corporations…

Maybe it’s just an idea before it’s time. Which is why they’d best get started early on the next crop of recruits…

Unethical Life

Ethical Life podcast: What do hunters say about increased gun regulations? [More]

They say they’re fine with them as long as they’ve got theirs, even though they know they don’t work.

Richard Kyte: What hunters say about guns might surprise you.

No, I don’t think it would.

Polyphemus may have told the Fudds he would eat them last, but eat them he will if the ones they’re throwing under the bus fall.

FBI’s Las Vegas Shooter Report Raises Serious Unanswered Questions. What NFA Weapons?

The bottom line is “bump stocks,” which were “legal” at the time, could not have been the “illegally possessed prohibited firearms” referred to in the “Paddock” report. So what weapon/s are they referring to? [More]

Enquiring minds want to know…

ATF ‘Brace Amnesty’ Is an Unworkable Entrapment that Dictates Terms of Surrender

“MAYBE what it will do is get some Member(s) of Congress to request GAO to do a forensic audit of the NFRTR to determine its accuracy and reliability,” another one of my “small cadre” advisors chimed in, pointing out the elephant in the room that “amnesty” proponents don’t much want to talk about. [More]

They have no authority to do it, they have no capability to do it, and on top of that, it’s a trap.  Sounds like SOP for ATF.

My Kind of Razzmatazz

You ever get the feeling that maybe the problem isn’t guns?

I’m with Hank on This One

Dickey and Rosenberg started out as “mortal enemies,” but after making small talk about their kids during a chance conversation they developed “an incredible friendship,” as Rosenberg recounts. Years later, they were habitually ending their conversations by telling each other “I love you,” and “we really meant it,” Rosenberg says. Through the power of this human connection, Dickey ends up seeing reason and changing his mind. He comes to believe that the amendment bearing his name was a mistake. [More]

Survey SAYS…

If Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine (D) face off in a possible 2024 U.S. Senate contest, 41 percent of Virginians would support Kaine, while 39 percent could support Youngkin, according to this year’s survey. [More]

How would this be possible?

“More… we need more!” says Mark Warner.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority…

And Jorge helped!

Clear as Mud

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is issuing this open letter to further assist the firearms industry and the public in understanding whether a “partially complete, disassembled, or nonfunctional” receiver of an AR-15/M-16 variant weapon has reached a stage of manufacture such that it “may readily be completed, assembled, restored, or otherwise converted” to a functional receiver, and is therefore classified as a “frame or receiver” or “firearm” in accordance with the final rule titled “Definition of ‘Frame or Receiver’ and Identification of Firearms (Final Rule 2021R-05F), which became effective August 24, 2022. [More]

At least until they change the rules again.

Any questions?
