While not a Righteous Shooting (an ordinary citizen wasting a goblin), this shooting is certainly righteous.
Executive summary: Scumbag waves a gun in a woman’s face as she’s sitting in her car. She calls her husband and the cops. Cops arrive, find said scumbag who points the gun at them, whereupon they shoot his ass dead, tra-la, tra-la.
I know that part of East Texas quite well. This is not a population you would want to mess with. As the goblin discovered.
You all know the Bearded Butchers by now (or should), so spend a couple hours and learn the full story behind the Perkins family. It’s an American success story: God, family, sacrifice, duty, hard work, and taking risks but no handouts.
The complete antithesis to what the Socialists want, in other words.
I have to say that for an armchair commentator and pundit like me, there’s not much to write about at the moment — I’m really bored with politics — which is why the posts on this here back porch have recently been mostly about cars, boobs, guns and a little bit of art.
Not, as one Reader told me, that this is necessarily A Bad Thing, especially when it comes to the classics:
1935 SS (later Jaguar) 90 Airline
Yvonne Furneaux
And just for the hell of it, a different take on the venerable Ruger 10/22: a twin-gun mount with a Gatling-style actuator and two 25-round mags:
John Atkinson Grimshaw — Boar Lane, Leeds
I would respectfully suggest that all the above are desirable, for different reasons.
It really is time for a little pushback, a little pruning of Sorostic prosecutors, and the Show Me State is showing us how:
We are giving Kim Gardner until noon tomorrow to resign. If she refuses, she will face immediate removal proceedings in the form of a writ of quo warranto brought by our office.

And by the way, Missouri’s official motto is: “The welfare of the people shall be the supreme law”.
Longtime Readers will all be aware of my support for the trades — electricians, plumbers, carpenters and so on — so you can imagine my grin of satisfaction upon reading this article:
Skilled tradespersons tradesmen* such as welders, plumbers, machinists, and carpenters “are in super-high demand,” Sasse observed. Take-home pay for skilled trade workers is typically between $80 and $200 thousand per year, Sasse determined. He said a construction superintendent in South Dakota recently informed him that concrete finishers were being paid $75 per hour for a particular project.
And let’s not even mention the financials:
“Most trade schools are six-to-nine months versus a four-year college,” Sasse stated, “but the minute you get out of that trade school — guess what — you get to go to work. So you’re going to make money for three and a half years while your buddy, who’s in a four-year college [program], is just racking up more and more debt. So you get this massive three-and-a-half-year jump on anybody that’s the same age.”
Yup. Not to mention the fact that at the end of the day, you could also start your own small business, to make the serious money.
And by the way, I like what Sasse’s organization stands for — follow the link for more detail.
Good stuff, indeed.
*Yeah, I know women can do most of this stuff too (see below).
But that’s not the point. This is.
I don’t use “chairperson” because the position is “chairman” OR “chairwoman”, “spokesperson” because the function is “spokesman” OR “spokeswoman” (if we’re going to be pedantic), and “head teacher” when the correct words are “headmaster” OR “headmistress”, depending.
“Tradespeople”? Nonsensical, as so much PC bullshit is.
