Health, QOTD

From some medical bloke:

“You can still get COVID, potentially [after having been vaccinated]. But if you do get it, it’s not severe at all.”

As it happens, I was just chatting with Mr. Free Market yesterday, and he informed me that he’d been diagnosed with the Delta-‘Rona.

When I asked him what it was like, the answer was:  “Rugby club hangover.  Piece of cake.”  (Translation:  you feel like utter crap for about twenty four hours, then much better on day two, and by day three you’re back to swilling Ginger Macs, just with a bit of a cough — which is where he was when I spoke to him.)

In other words:  it’s like a bronchial flu.

Carry on.

Quote Of The Day

QOTD

From ZMan (via Uncle Mike):

The hard lesson America is about to learn is one that the Europeans never seemed to learn, despite plenty of opportunities.  That is, diversity plus proximity must always end in violence.  The internet age has brought every American into close contact with every other American.  No one likes what they see in the other camps and increasingly no one thinks they can live near the other camp.  The result is predictable.

And the final paragraph is equally bleak:

In the twilight of the West, it is only appropriate that the show will close with one last spasm of ideological warfare.  If the antiwhite fanatics carry the day and erase white society from the book of life, they take themselves with it in what will be remembered as the great suicide of the West.  If this is resisted and avoided, it will mostly likely require a degree of ugliness as yet unimagined.  Either way, the great epoch of ideology will not end well.

Hello, the Balkan States of America.

Quote Of The Day

QOTD

[with apologies]

“I don’t need the government to tell me how to protect myself, my family and my community.  I especially don’t need the government to tell me why I shouldn’t protect myself, my family and my community (and to run away like some fearful coward).

“I’m armed, well trained and ready to die to protect the above against criminal aggression.  I’m the “citizen militia”, the “gun hiding behind every blade of grass”, and I’m the situation all criminals fear when they’re about to perpetrate their evil deeds.

“If government wants to help me in my endeavor, well and good.  If they won’t or can’t, they need to stay out of my goddamned way while I go about my business.”

— Kim du Toit

QOTD

From the late (and very-much missed) Col. Jeff Cooper:

“If you are reading this and can’t put your hand on your defensive firearm, all of your training is wasted.”

The only time that’s not true for me is when I’m in the shower, and even then it’s only a step or two outside the bathroom.  (I know, I know… but I’m not going to go there.)
