Not News

Apparently, champagne socialist & CalGov Newsom wants to tax billionaires, to the general amusement of those of us waiting to see just how these shitforbrains Californians can find still more creative ways to cut their own economic throats (when they’re not defrauding the FedGov, that is).

Am I the only one who doesn’t give a rat’s ass what Newsom thinks, says or does?

I know, I know:  “O but Kim, he might one day become President!” goes the lament.

Yeah, and I’ll start supporting gun control.

He’s only powerful in his own mind, and in what passes for the minds of his deluded supporters.  And (you heard it here first), Hair Gel Boy isn’t radical enough for the AOC/Mamdani Wing of the Socialist Party, so his higher political aspirations are going to be fucked from two directions.

Irrelevancy, thy name is Gavin.

Amateur Hour

I suppose that we should be grateful that this latest Leon Czolgosz-wannabe wasn’t as well prepared as he should have been.  Clearly, he went straight to the “Suggested Assassin’s Weapons” tab at Amazon or something — that is to say, he got some things quite right, and a lot of other things very wrong.  Consider this series of pics of his “arsenal” which he hoped to use at the Hilton D.C.:

Okay, let’s look at this “arsenal”.

  • Pump shotgun:  Yes of course.  If you’re going for “maximum damage in a confined area”, there are few better choices.  One might argue that a semi-auto would be a better choice, but potato-potahto.
  • Colt 1911 model:  Also a solid choice for a handgun, although he may have been better off with one of those guns which carry a 500-round magazine, e.g. a Glock.  Still, the chances of him getting to actually use a handgun (any handgun) during a mass shooting are going to be minimal, unless the 1911 is backup for when you run out of 12ga ammo.  But:
  • Knives (4, assassin for the use of):  Four knives?  For a gunfight?  Okay, by all means carry a knife as part of your EDC accoutrements (I do), but let’s be honest about this:  in his proposed scenario, a knife — any knife, let alone four — will be about as useful as a golf club, maybe less so.  And:  two throwing knives?  Useless;  toss them for a couple spare magazines (which you are going to need if shooting a 1911;  ask me how I know this.)  Also, a Ka-Bar is too unwieldy;  that boot knife (which I carry when wearing cowboy boots) would be the only decent option here.

I still think that the Secret Service missed a trick by not shooting the asshole dead on the spot, but that’s just me.  Given how inept the SS have been with their handguns in the past, however, subduing the scrote might have been the better option;  at least there was no collateral damage.

Yeah, We Know

Finally, the rest of the world discovers what we conservatives have known for years:  the Brooklyn Barmaid is a vacuous Marxist with little intelligence and an astonishing ignorance of, well, just about everything.

I actually started to watch AOC’s little speech at the Munich conference and had to quit because I was embarrassed by the spectacle of her complete meltdown.  I mean, she had no idea of any of the topics she was quizzed on — she couldn’t even recall her party’s talking points, let alone formulate any cogent or reasoned responses to the simple questions put to her.

The only negative outcome I can see coming from this is that she should have been exposed during the 2028 primaries instead of now.  She wouldn’t be able to debate prospective candidates from her own party*, let alone heavy hitters like Marco Rubio or J.D. Vance.


*I’m assuming that the Social Democrat Marxists might actually have a better candidate than this fool, but I could be mistaken.

Bye-Bye Frying Pan, Hello Gas Ring

When I read this, I couldn’t stop laughing:

That’s not the funny part.  This is:

The director bought a home in the iconic San Remo co-op in New York City overlooking Central Park.

Yeah… from Beverly Hills to Manhattan — to escape taxes levied on rich people.

Hey Steve:  Say “hi” to Hizzoner Zoran Mamdani for me, willya?  You stupid putz.
