Yeah, sending in tanks to threaten your native born is always a good argument

"The Irish have had enough of open borders, high taxes and the total destruction of Ireland by the globalists running Europe."

Paying homage to an evil clown

Democrats are still very heavily invested in the race-hustling business: "White House Dem Hopefuls Bow to Sharpton".

When Al Sharpton celebrates the 35th anniversary of his hate group and shakedown operation, the National Action Network, which has been linked to the killings of at least 9 people in various hate crimes, presidential hopefuls will be celebrating with him.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris, still Sharpton’s favorite after her previous pledge at the National Action Network to implement racial reparations, is coming, as are former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, hoping to compensate for his notoriously poor performance with black voters, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, humiliating himself one more time, Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland, just caught lying about his past, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, the man Sharpton would be if he were white and hadn’t stopped eating everything in sight, Sen. Mark Kelly, hoping to meet his first black person, and Rep. Ro Khanna, a sleazy Silicon Valley grifter backed by an Epstein associate, who claims to be against the ‘Epstein Class’, and a champion of banning congressional stock trading, while also being the champion stock trader.

That this semi-literate, ethically-challenged, rabble-rousing demagogue is not in jail is a blot on our legal system in particular and our society in general - but, as everyone knows, Democrats are well-stocked with Get-Out-of-Jail-Free cards (or rather, Avoid-Jail-No-Matter-What cards).

Begging Your Holiness's pardon...

...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.

Sweet!

 A, er, "friend" recently purchased these two used items and let me photograph them.

The top firearm is a classic, six-round Colt Detective Special, chambered in .32 New Police (Colt New Police is the same caliber as the .32 S&W Long, but Colt wasn't about to put the name of its principal competitor on the barrel, so it simply came up with a more marketing-friendly term). I don't believe this firearm has been produced since the early 90s (this particular one is from the 1960s or early 1970s).

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.

Working-with-your-hands Wednesday

 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.

Some interesting observations from Down Under

 

From Martin Iles, reposted:

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.…
