From Roger Kimball:
“Remember the ‘pipe bombs’ that were supposedly planted by ‘insurrectionists’ [on Jan 6 2020]? It turns out they were almost certainly dummy explosives planted by government agents.”
Yeah… funny how that investigation suddenly evaporated, and news reports thereof disappeared down Winston Smith’s memory hole tube.
By “funny” I mean like “watching your dog getting run over by a truck” funny.
Feel the burn…
Reader Mike L. points me at this sorry tale, in Texas no less:
About two weeks ago, Kaylee Morgan, a wife and stay-at-home mother of five, went to get her driver’s license renewed on her 30th birthday, and she was told there was a warrant out for her arrest.
“This was news to me. I haven’t been pulled over. I’ve never been in any sort of legal trouble,” Morgan said.
She called the courts and found out the warrant was related to a charge for theft of government property, a Class C misdemeanor. She also faces a $570 fine, which she said her family could not afford on their single income.
“It’s over a library book that I turned in late,” Morgan said.
WTF? A late library book, and she’s got a warrant? Read the whole story for the disgusting details.
I have to tell you, there is no one alive who loves books more than I do; but if some angry soul were to burn this whole fucking library to the ground in reaction to this bullshit, I’d be the first to buy him a drink.
As for the arrogant asshole of a judge…
“Excessive”, you say? No more excessive than the actions of the fucking government.
Let’s kick off with some good news, from the Dept. Of Education:
…
And from the Global Cooling Climate Warming Change© Temple:
...oh FFS.
From the Department of Irony:
...who as I recall voted for Biden over Trump, 53% – 47%.
From the Parish Newsletter:
...good thing he’s Anglican and not Catholic, or that Commie Pope would have got it all.
In Dietary News:
...does this mean I shouldn’t be eating Twinkies with my breakfast gin?
...relax, Jake; it’s New York fucking City.
In the Dept. of Wokery:
...coming from a guy who really needs a swift slap in the face.
...I didn’t even know that the National Organization For Women was still around. Kinda like the NRA for Cat Ladies, I guess.
...so that when someone tells him to “Go fuck yourself”, he can.
...horribly-overpriced clothes, woke company: it’s your purchase decision, so be my guest.
In Election News:
...Karl Rove, Karl Rove… who was he, again? Oh yeah, the guy behind the loss of the election to Barack Obama. Oh, and the Jan 6 protestors are not thugs, you asshole.
Now for some Adolescent Shooting News:
...silly boy; if he’d just waited a few years, he could have shot Russians and been a national hero.

Abandon hope all ye who enter here, I think.
And that’s the news.
From The Divine Sarah:
“It’s not my fault that the people running all our intellectual institutions, including research, are morons studying to be idiots.”
Truer words were never spoken.
Go ahead, listen to this fine explosion of wrath.
It’s like me speaking, only with no Bad Words. I dunno how he did that, either.
Maybe he’s just not angry enough.
Evil Reader John C. sent me a link to the 1,000-round test of this lovely budget 1911:
Okay, it’s a 1911 so I’m going to like it, and it comes with all sorts of standard stuff like a titanium trigger, ambi-safety, adjustable rear sight and (yes!) a brass bead front sight. My only quibble is this unnecessary protuberance on the grip safety…
…but I’ve griped about it often enough so I won’t repeat it here.
Most of all, I like the price point (around $750 street) which, considering the effects of Bidenflation (don’t get me started) is quite acceptable.
And the tester likes it fine, but they always do, don’t they? Certainly, though, the MAC came through the 1,000-round test without any major issues, which is more than you can say about a lot of the budget guns on the market nowadays.
And it looks like a proper 1911, none of that front-of-slide serration nonsense that all the cool kids seem to demand.
