...but when did words become more dangerous than actual sticks and stones?
.@Pontifex is directly critical of the mere words of the President of the United States but he has never once specifically condemned the bloody slaughter of tens of thousands of protestors by the Iranian regime. Women. Children. Families, all shot down like dogs.

A, er, "friend" recently purchased these two used items and let me photograph them.
And the second firearm is the classic S&W Model 36, a five-shot revolver chambered in .38 Special, introduced in 1950 as the Chiefs Special. These are still manufactured as part of S&W's classic line, but production runs are irregular, and the new ones cost more than half again as much as this pristine pre-owned gun.
I love to see an artisan turn an ugly chunk of wood into something beautiful.
Bonus video! I think one of my neighbors had one of these when I was a kid.

Having lived in the USA for nearly two years, I've realised something.
The USA and the remainder of the Western world are no longer aligned.
We all laugh and mock when the Americans say, "Freedom!" because we truly think we're as free as they are.…

"Waffle House Employees Didn't See FEMA Official Who Says He Teleported to Georgia Location".
A senior official with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) claimed he teleported 50 miles to a Waffle House in Georgia, but nobody can back it up.
I'm not surprised that nobody saw him. Most people who eat at Waffle House don't want to be identified, themselves, so they're more than willing to return the courtesy to others.
"Is NATO really an alliance anymore?"
I have mixed feelings about whether we should withdraw, but they're not as mixed as they used to be; if Europe is going to abandon its western ideals and voluntarily join the Ummah, then I don't care what happens to it.
