Quote Of The Day

From Kurt Schlichter:

It’s kind of a cliché when libs howl that Ron DeSantis is even worse than Trump, but in fact, the governor will be much worse.  Trump was elected to stop the elites’ new order.  DeSantis will be elected to destroy it because Americans will no longer tolerate leftist intolerance.

Yes.

News Roundup

Today’s Roundup sponsor is:

And in that vein, let’s lead off with this:


…to which I say, “Amen”.


…so nice to see that we’ve reverted to the word’s original and proper meaning (happy, joyous, etc.) instead of as shorthand for “homosexual”.


…small wonder the Democrats are trying to decriminalize child abuse:  it preserves their funding sources.


…apparently this was done as mockery.  I hope that’s true.


…


…key word:  “Wales”.


…key word:  “Scotland”.  Still would like to have been there, though:  sounds like a decent party.

Dept. of Covidiocy Update:


…of COURSE it could.


…to the surprise of precisely… nobody.  Just in passing, does anyone remember that in WWII Britain, crimes of this sort were punishable by hanging?


…because:


…maybe that would represent an improvement for NYfC, I dunno.  And:


…because of course she does.


…am I the only one who thinks that this punishment is somewhat… excessive?

And speaking of (no-link) INSIGNIFICA:

     

Finally:

I was going to post a link to the article, but all those pics are blurred or else with her boyfriend.  Here are some better ones:

 

And that’s it for the news.

Nationalized Healthcare

Here we go again:

Police probing a brutal mother-blaming hospital trust at the centre of the biggest ever maternity scandal to strike the NHS are now investigating 600 cases.
A damning five-year inquiry, published today, revealed 201 babies and nine mothers died needlessly during a two-decade spell of appalling care at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.

By the way, guess why these assholes would push [sic]  natural childbirth?  Because that’s a cheaper option than Caesarian (C-section) birth.

And with Government, it’s always about cost, not quality.

Other Fine Guns

Comment by Reader Velocette about our little TDSA excursion:

“That Winchester High Wall is the class act of the lot, unless you were enjoying an 1873 Colt or a P 35 Hi Power”

Not quite an 1873 Colt, but we did have a 1980 Colt Python 6″ (.357 Mag), not mine, alas for I own one not:

…and yes, a Browning High Power:

…and sundry 1911 variants, of course:

  

…as well as several .22 pistols and revolvers, and a few other .357 Mag/.38 Spec revolvers.

Also on hand, a Winchester 1894 lever rifle (.30-30):

…a Taurus (Winchester copy) Model 63 ( .22 LR):

…the aforementioned Browning High Wall (.45-70 Gov):

…and lastly, my M1 Carbine (which Doc Russia managed to break;  Mr. FM’s comment:  “It survived WWII and Korea, but not one range session with Doc”):

There were other guns, most of them high-tech / gadget-loaded 9mm and .223 EVIL BLACK RIFLES WITH SILENCERRRRRRRS, but of them we will not speak.

I can’t believe that we blew through so much ammo, but considering that firing commenced at about 10:30am and the guns finally fell silent at 3:30pm, perhaps it’s not all that surprising.

In conclusion, I cannot say enough good things about TDSA and its owner Len Baxley.  If you haven’t ever been there, you should.  Mr. FM has been there twice (two separate trips Over Here), and says it’s the most fun he’s ever had, on both occasions.  If you want to try the place out, let me know and I’ll give you advice on what to take and not take so you can have a great time.
