A Fine Line

This career trough-feeder…

Looks like Mike reined in his attack dog after he realized he couldn’t prove who took the video.

There’s a lot to be said for this theory…

From the Government That Brought Us ‘Zero Tolerance’ for FFLs

40,000 Weapons Sent to Ukraine Have Gone Missing: Pentagon IG [More]

Meanwhile, you fill out lost and stolen reports– or else.

Anyone doubt they’ll turn up…?

The convergence of incompetence and intent needed for this to happen is just stunning.

So: Who’s even losing a job?

None Dare Call It Treason

Republicans in Congress are threatening to cut off support for Ukraine unless they can force through their extreme partisan border policies. It’s political blackmail, pure and simple. The stakes are too high and the consequences are too significant for political brinksmanship. [More]

Speaking of “extreme partisan border policies“…

Any Democrat who does not see through this in-your-face gaslighting is either mentally incapable or willfully self-deluded. What does that say about those who do see through it and give their approval with their votes regardless?

A Feature, Not a Bug

Yet, when these dedicated analysts came to their woke bosses, saying, “We need to pay attention to this!” Their bosses contemptuously dismissed them with something like, “Don’t worry about it” When the shallow and self-centered don’t want something to be true, they “pretend” it’s not true. That’s exactly what happened at Pearl Harbor in 1941, in Vietnam just prior to the Tet Offensive in 1968 (I was there for that one!), and in NYC in September of 2001. [More]

Ephesians 6:12 comes to mind.

Parallel Worlds

David Codrea, in Firearms News reports that “While parallels to the situation in Ukraine are understandable enough to make with this new move to recruit civilians into the defense equation, the biggest similarity (and biggest mistake) is, both nations waited until the wolf was at the door to start the process. [More]

I was talking about Taiwan, but yeah, the parallels are there too.

I’ll take whatever publicity I can get as long as it doesn’t come with a mug shot.

Brawl in the Handout Line

Mexico’s President Obrador blasts US aid for Ukraine — advocates for more Latin America funding [More]

What kind of gratitude is that after “Ukraine’s Global Voice” called Mexico’s invaders “thousands of largely peaceful migrants”? (Citing Republicans Against Trump as an authority to heed doesn’t win Kyiv any points either…)

We ought to be charging Mexico for every illegal they send our way.

‘Republicans for Ukraine’ Led by Same Neocons who Advocate Disarming Americans

That makes fair the question of those funding the Republicans for Ukraine website: “Who are these guys?” [More]

It’s just another Astroturf venture exploiting a handful of useful idiots hooked on Kristol meth.

As Long as There’s No Use for Them Here…

State Reps. Quang Nguyen, R-Prescott Valley, and Selina Bliss, R-Prescott, on Monday requested a “Senate Bill 1487” investigation, named after the process’s initial bill filing, from Mayes as to whether the city’s decision to ship 500-600 seized firearms to the Ukrainian Arsenal of Liberty is legal. [More]

Everything I said when the Council approved this still applies, particularly about Democrat “generosity.”

And everything I said about Miami applies too, particularly about ITAR and citizens protecting OUR border from foreign invaders.

On a side note, what’s with Ducey’s “9,000 pounds of surplus tactical equipment”?

Where are they getting these units of measurement from?

We’re the Only Ones Arming Enough

Miami Police Department bought guns off the street for Ukraine [More]

And what did they do with them?

Turns out the “buyback” was from last year.

The “Only Ones” claimed “Success!”

Kevin Sona and Lee Williams called “BS!”

I imagine they’ve got all the ITAR “t’s” crossed and “i’s” dotted…?

I don’t suppose sending guns to citizens protecting OUR border from foreign invaders is on anybody’s to-do list…?

Boxes of Rocks

Here’s how you pitch Ukraine aid to rock-ribbed conservatives [More]

Just have a registered foreign agent turn up the Lee Greenwood music, apparently.

Sounds more like rock-headed.

A line about the Lord helping those who help themselves comes to mind.

That and a warning about “permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world…”

Returning to the Ashes Redux

Alan Korwin relates by email that this is a violation of Arizona law, and calls our attention to another interesting demonstration of hoplophobe/guntard “shoulder thing that goes up” incompetence:

I understand he’s got an article in the works and will link to it when it’s up.

And yes:

What about using those magical serial numbers to trace the guns to their lawful owners and returning their stolen property?

Returning to the Ashes

Phoenix City Council approves plan to send hundreds of unclaimed guns to Ukrainian police force – No city or taxpayer funds will be used to transport the weapons, the council agenda item said. [More]

No, but funds will be used to process this, and more will be forfeited by “giving away” what could be sold. If they’re so flush they can afford that, I guess they won’t really be needing any tax increases. Right?

Ain’t it just like Democrats — giving away what’s not theirs and then taking credit for being generous? Exactly the opposite of the way true generosity is supposed to be.

I wonder if this was Yassamin’s big idea…?

Leaping to Illusions

Mexican TV reports that dozens of U.S. AT-4 weapons systems, which were originally shipped to Ukraine, have been purchased by Cartel Golfo in Mexico. [More]

I’m suspecting a misinterpretation and/or sloppy reporting because the source report only says:

“The weapon, which is only sold to armies and has been widely used during the invasion of Ukraine, was in the hands of a hitman from Los Escorpiones, a cell of the Gulf cartel, which operates in Reynosa.”

If weapons are being redirected from Ukraine, this, as stated, doesn’t prove it.

Besides, we know how the cartels get their weapons.

Isn’t That Special?

Ukraine war: Leak shows Western special forces on the ground [More]

No provocation for escalation to up close sand personal involvement there…

I seem to recall another undeclared boondoggle that started with “advisors.” Actually, just about every one since WWII…

Who’s up for dying to save them? If not, you can’t very well expect it from anyone else.

And what would any world war be without a second major theater of operation?

Thank God we have “progressive” leadership! Not like those old racists!

Neck deep in the Big Muddy…
