Arrant Stupidity

People always save life isn't fair but if we can send a damn helicopter to Mars I think we can make life fair.

“Ciara and I let our little children use the words not fair,” she warned, with an air of gravity. “Until they’re six or seven, or stop believing in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, whichever comes first. Anyone purportedly grown-up who says those dread words will be shot without warning for the capital crime of arrant stupidity.” Daggers in the Dark, S. M. Stirling

Hell No! To ATF Nominee David Chipman

We have record gun sales and new gun owners but not the crime to match. What we have is a judicial problem, lowered deterrents for repeat offenders via her party's policies, reduced police morale, and criminals emboldened by "defund cops" talk from her party. https://t.co/mkbHhdV5Ex

C is for Clueless

fantiSci 2021

That's how I spent most of my weekend. fantiSci is a small science fiction convention held in Durham, NC. I'd say it was dominated by Baen and Chris Kennedy Publishing. It was my first non comic book related convention, so there was a bit o culture shock and learning curve, but once I adjusted, I had fun. I got to meet authors Larry Corriea, David Weber, D. J. Butler, Mel Todd, Larry Hoy and an abundance of other nice people. Fun was had by all including me. I'm planning to do it again next year.

Let's See what Happens

It was Bound to Happen.

Apparently, I've been reported as a deceptive site. Someone or some software didn't like my last post about the President. Blogger keeps deleting it. Apparently, telling the President "no" is not allowed.

Update: Appears to at least partially a Firefox problem. No issues using Chrome.

UPDATE: No, it's Google.

UPDATE: ...and it's clear.

UPDATE: ...and I finally got an email from Blogger. Some asshat reported me for phishing or Malware for a post that had a image of Biden's Twitter post telling us to vaccinate or wear a mask. My post was titled "no" with text following the image saying "Not Your Chice Mr. Biden. The image was borrowed from Instapundit. No phishing. No malware. Just bullshit.

Blogger has allowed me to repost the offending post. See previous post.

No.

Not Your Choice, Mr. Biden. Ours. 

Here, Here

In a Nutshell

Emphasis on the nuts.

Don't Hold Your Breath

Fauci Must Be Held to Account for His Role in Funding Wuhan Lab Research

No Federal bureaucrat is even held to account for anything.

Defund the Police,...

...Reduce Police numbers through hiring or policies than encourage officers to retire, tie their hands through policy and law and make it impossible for them to do their jobs, and this happens.

Cost of left’s anti-anti-crime folly: 4-year-old shot in Times Square

Coming soon to a city or town near you, IF it's not already the case. Cough, cough, Portland. Buy a gun. Stock up on ammo. Yeah, I know. you almost have to mortgage your home to afford ammo these days, but it is an investment in your future safety. Lord knows if the police will be there to help you.

It's a poll, so the how of it determines if it is worth a damn. The story doesn't provide those details. Still, I'll hope for the best.

The story posits several theories as to why sales are so high: civil unrest, the pandemic, violence. I think it's Democrats and people know damn well they can't trust them with their safety. Also, when the gun grabbers are in charge people want to get a gun before it's impossible to do so.
