That comes under the heading of "huh"?

Nearby homes evacuated after 75 rounds of ammunition found underneath house

I think I'll take a pass on that.

Amy Schumer Uses Netflix Special to go After ‘Gun Nuts’

...and yes, Ms. Schumer, based on your associations and your mouth, you do want to take away our guns. My hope is your special does about as well as Ms. Sloane did.

'cuz they go together.

Case in point.

There was a pro-Trump rally in Raliegh NC yesterday

Hundreds rally to support President Trump in Raleigh

Nobody got beat up.

Nobody got pepper sprayed.

Nobody got hurt.

This despite a few of the opposition being present. Imagine that.

Elsewhere....

UPDATE: More pictures from Berkley.

I'm kinda curious to see where this goes.

Yes, There Could Be Serious Legal Problems if Obama Admin Involved in Illegal Surveillance

Nowhere I suspect. I'm constantly amazed by how far the Left is willing to go to protect him.

Helldorado by Chuck Dixon

This book four in Dixon's Bad Times series. This time it's back to the time period of the first novel to rescue the friend they left behind. The protohumans they fought then aren't the problem now. It's humans. Good stuff.

Too Much Time on Their Hands

These protestors have too much time on their hands. Maybe we can come up with something useful for them to do. Breaking rocks instead of throwing them.

...and on a similar note.

Gun v. pick-axe ends up about how you'd expect

In Alabama, a guy with a pick axe broke into a business in which the owner also lived. When the guy entered the bedroom and charged the owner, the owner grabbed his pistol and shot him dead.

H/T to Dean.

No Spot of Ground by Walter Jon Williams

An alternate history where Edgar Allan Poe did not die in 1849 but instead survived is alcoholism and built a new life in the South. Here we find Poe fighting under Lee during the Civil War still haunted by hhis past. It's short at 64 pages, but a good read. I've not looked to see if Williams has written anything in this genre, but if he has, I'd be interested i giving it a try based on this alone.

Good Work

Ryan Zinke, the new Secretary of the Interior, has made a good start. He repealed one of those last minute gifts to gun owners from the Obama Administration.It was the one that banned lead amo and fishing tackle.

Secretarial Order No. 3346 overturns the recent ban of lead ammunition and fish tackle used on Fish and Wildlife Service lands, waters, and facilities. The order highlights the need for additional review and consultation with local stakeholders.

Like I said, good work. My hopes for the Trump Administration continue to rise.

This time it's back to Palestine to prevent the murder of a teenage Christ. Five against a couple of Centuries of Roman infantry. Good stuff.
