…not that Virgin has ever shown any sign of class, ever.

...which is classic Marxist doctrine, for those unfamiliar with it.  Not that I ever expected anything different from these Commies.


…LOL if it did, I’d consider carrying a 9mm handgun.  But it doesn’t.


…the people who used the guns to commit murder, however, have no doubt been released from jail on parole.


…not one of which would have stopped, or will ever stop, a mass shooting.


…throw in the West Coast with another two, and you’ve got a deal.  Bonus if you trigger the Big One.

Quote Of The Day

Mocking Furriners, QOTD

From Johnny Rotten, about Britishland’s Royal Family:

“A bunch of German tourists, with a Greek thrown in.”

I know several Brits who still refer to them as “the Germans”, with one saying witheringly:  “My family has been noble for well over six centuries.  Theirs hasn’t.”

Excluded

Entertainment, Mocking Furriners

As Britishland gathered to celebrate their Queen’s Platinum Jubilee yesterday, the crowd was immense — even larger than the Lightbringer’s inauguration (click both pics below to embiggen).

I noted this picture, too:

Conspicuously absent were Prince Ginger and his Hollywood houri.  No doubt the Royals wanted the crowds to cheer (which they did, mightily) and not boo (which they would have).

Not Surprising

Crime

Ho, here’s something different:

Hill was working as an employee of a local nuclear power plant when he won a $10 million prize from an Ultimate Millions scratch-off ticket at a convenience store near Wilmington in 2017. According to a WECT report from the time, Hill bought a scratch-off that did not win, then, on a whim, bought a second ticket, which was the winner. After state and federal tax withholdings, he took home a lump sum of just over $4.1 million.

And then in 2021?

A North Carolina man who won $10 million on a lottery ticket was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.

And now we play “Guess The Perp’s Race”, for the umpteenth time.

That easy, was it?
