Dept. Of Righteous Shootings

Righteous Shootings

So down in Arizona, this happened.  Executive summary:  Folks sitting at home doing family things, when an alleged intruder allegedly broke down the alleged front door.  One of the alleged family members happened to have an alleged gun, which he allegedly used to fire multiple shots into the allegedly worthless hide of said alleged intruder, whereupon said shootee’s body temperature allegedly moved quickly to room temperature.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Shooting Sports, The Gun Thing

Is anyone else sick to death of all the fuss surrounding the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts?

I have an idea.

Let’s re-purpose the Kennedy Center.  Never mind all that artsy-fartsy stuff;  let’s turn it into a massive indoor shooting range, with all the 100-yard rifle- and 25-yard pistol ranges that the place can hold, open from 6am till 9pm, 7 days a week.  And so that it can’t be hijacked by the hoplophobes and politicians, we’ll hand over its management in perpetuity to, say, Gun Owners of America.

Now for all sorts of reasons, we’ll have to rename the place, because let’s be honest, J.F. Kennedy and shooting do have somewhat of an unpleasant association.

And I’m against naming pretty much anything after a politician, because they get enough name recognition already, the lousy poltroons.

So let’s name it after a renowned and respected American ordinary citizen, and to make it even more non-political, let’s stipulate that he’s no longer alive.  Without trying to prejudice the thing, and just to help the thought process, let me give just a few examples:  Elmer Keith, Wyatt Earp, Audie Murphy, Samuel Colt, Oliver Winchester, John Moses Browning… I think you can all see where I’m going with this one.

Pick one, and one name only, and put it in Comments / email.  You don’t need to give any reasons because I’m pretty sure it’s self-explanatory.  I’ll tally up the votes and give the people’s choice later in the week.

Oh, and you only get one vote each.  We are not Democrats.

Politics

So The Donald has listed his top 3 accomplishments in his first year as POTUS (Part 2):

  • rebuilding the United States’ military
  • securing major investments
  • attaining most-favored-nation pricing for prescription drugs

Yeah, all well and good.  Far be it for me to quibble, Yer Trumpness, but here’s what we need to see in Year 2:

  • clean up the voting rolls, eliminate fraudulent voting and prosecute people interfering with the process — because unless you do that, everything you’ve done and plan to do will be undone by the next bunch of socialists, should they finagle their way back into power
  • start putting people in jail, and by that I mean powerful people who’ve abused their position — e.g. Ilhan Omar (immigration and personal enrichment), Tim Walz (enabling welfare fraud, CCP spy), George Soros (funding insurrection, enabling vote fraud [25 similar nefarious activities omitted for brevity], and bastards of similar sort (e.g. Clintons)
  • include Somali fraudsters in your “top ten” list of groups to deport, along with the drug people, child molesters and so on.  (We’ve brought Africa into the U.S., and are somehow surprised that we’re becoming Africa instead of them becoming Americans?  Grow up.)
  • ditto Muslims of the jihad / radical type
  • do not shrink from revoking U.S. citizenships, especially among anchor babies gone bad and the children of criminals.

There are more (see my Comments section for further ideas, but these will do to start).

And something to ditch:  quit fucking around with Greenland.  Yeah, I know:  “vital strategic importance” yadda yadda yadda, but if you don’t clean up the domestic front, we won’t have anything worth defending and the Commies / Muslims will win without firing a shot.

Dog, Sick As A

Health

Sorry, folks, but last Friday the roof caved in on me:  post-nasal drip, barking cough, sore throat with a side order of conjunctivitis (a.k.a. “pink-eye”, for those of a non-medical bent).  Oh, and my speaking voice disappeared into a spectral whisper / ghastly croak, and has not yet returned.

Everything that has appeared on this website since Friday was written prior to that.

Saturday off to the doc for tests, not Covid, not flu, not pneumonia.  Doctor’s opinion:  “It’s a cold.  But it’s a really bad cold, maybe the worst cold I’ve seen in a patient so far this season.”

Upshot:  haven’t been able to sleep for longer than an hour (cough), haven’t been able to read anything, can’t watch TV, don’t feel like writing anything either because everything in the news just makes me want to go to the range and blast off 200 rounds and I can’t even do that.

I’ll try to do better tomorrow.

Here’s a pic of the Usual Rubbish, just to tide you over.  Feel free to discuss in Comments;  just know I won’t be reading it for a while, so behave.

Common thread:  French stuff.

NOT the MAS-49

Damn foreigners all look the same to me.  Sorry about that.
