I should have just stopped reading at the word "Democrat".

"HYPOCRISY: Crazed Democrat Gov. Maura Healey, Who Sued Exxon and Bragged She 'Stopped Two Gas Pipelines,' Now Begs Trump’s Energy Secretary to Fast-Track a Natural Gas Expansion".

I think the request ought to be snail-tracked, if considered at all. Make leftists face the consequences of what they voted for.

Canada, like God, is past understanding

Socialism and the waste and despair that follow in its wake, moral laxity, corruption, unassimilable minorities - look to the north if you want to get a picture of the future of the U.S. under Democrat rule: "The Demented Dominion is In A Lather and It is Marvellous".

This is axiomatic. Socialism creates a crime ridden society. It’s the only way to survive. Everywhere it is tried, crime. One sub-continental Indian gang after another is caught, and set free. Chinese triads traffic humans right out of the Port of Vancouver, the largest port on the west coast of North and South America.

Nothing is done. We have murders on the street in Vancouver, once the most glorious Waspy city where families grew and thrived in peace among extraordinary beauty, and the only crime was committed by bored, drunk loggers. Now, it’s a filth bucket where women are attacked and raped in Stanley Park, and homeless tents and fentanyl addicts litter every public space.

Solid, Jackson!

I've grown fond of the 9x18 round (also called the 9mm Makarov) over the last year or so, and recently added another pistol chambered in this caliber to my collection: the P83 Wanad.

This is a Polish military surplus pistol that, like all 9mm Makarovs I'm familiar with, is a direct blowback. It came with two 8-round magazines and a cleaning rod. It is single/double action and has a decocker. The pistol performed flawlessly on the range, and is very accurate to (at least) 12 yards. The P83 was manufactured between 1983 and 2000, and some of them are still in service. Interestingly, it is formed of sheet metal stampings, similar to most AK-47 rifles; however, it is solid and ergonomically pleasant to hold and shoot.

Great catch

This happened several months ago, but I'm just now seeing it. It was ruled a base hit, by the way.
