If anyone has a spare Warsaw Pact SKS (NOT Type 56 Chinese) with folding bayonet and in good condition, and wants to trade it for a lightly-used (bought new) AK-47 with a couple-three 20-round mags, shoot me an email.
North Texas/southern OK-area residents will get a favorable hearing. Failing that, anywhere is fine, but we’ll have to do the FFL thing.

…how’s that vegetarian shit working out for India, by the way?
…Jesus wept.
…somebody else’s future, maybe; just not mine.
…lessee: a Socialist who screwed up his country’s economy and caused untold suffering for its citizens by pursuing insane Green / Net Zero policies has to flee the country… am I the only one finding this inspirational?
…how can I put this politely? Oh yeah: fuck off, all of you.
…so did John Wayne. What’s your point, Has-Been?
…somehow, I think we have enough native sex maniacs and perverts already, without having to import more of them. And while we’re on that topic:
…sure, like I’m the only one here thinking about some of that “cultural appropriation” stuff.

More news of similar dubious content next week.
As an Ole Phartte of some renown, imagine my gleeful chuckles when reading about this man’s requirements for employment at his business:
A Welsh dessert shop boss has shared the most brutal job advert you’ve ever seen on Facebook, but has been universally praised for his no-nonsense attitude.
And if you don’t give at least one approving “attaboy” when you read the ad, we can’t be friends.
Here’s a similar no-nonsense attitude, but in precisely the opposite direction.
We run Britain’s strictest pub – no phones or kids are allowed inside and anyone who swears is BANNED
As one would imagine, I would be in real danger here — although I’ve found that the more I drink, paradoxically, the less I swear. (Regular Drinking Buddies Mr. Free Market, The Englishman and Doc Russia might contradict this, though.)
Whatever: I would happily guard my tongue at the Fox & Goose to be free from screaming children and fucking (oops) cell phones. The only thing that might cause me to give the place a miss is that I’m not that fond of Samuel Smith beer — but then again, life is full of compromises. innit?

I couldn’t help but compare the BritRoyals to the Democrats when I saw this article:
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 40, and Prince George, eight, Princess Charlotte, seven, Prince Louis, four, and their black cocker spaniel Orla were seen leaving their Kensington residence on Monday evening.
The Queen’s antipathy towards helicopters is well known, because she views them as dangerous (e.g. Stevie Ray Vaughan). Not to be too ghoulish about it, but if that particular chopper went down, it would create an interesting situation vis-a-vis the Royal succession line because after Charles would come — yes — Prince Ginger and his son Archie.
Imagine the scenario where Duchess Meghan CaringSlut one day became Queen… and most likely, Queen Mother in the reign of King Archie. I would suggest that inheritance of title through birth suddenly looks a lot less appealing.
This is somewhat similar in outcome to the prospect of President Kamala SexToy for the Democrats.
A little while ago I ordered something from Jeff Bezos, and was astonished to see that a “next day” delivery option was available; this, mind you, for what I would consider a non-emergency item. (On checking, it was for this TV series.)
Given how much work this entails for the actual workers at Amazon’s fulfillment center, it seemed a bit much. So I’m not surprised whenever I see Amazon’s employees kicking back at the working conditions there, with timed (or no) bathroom breaks, performance metrics that would make an 18th-century textile company boss blush, and pay which quite frankly makes even a committed capitalist like myself feel embarrassed.
Small wonder that Bezos has fought tooth and nail against the unionization of his workforce. And yet, even I, as (once again) a committed capitalist, can see that it’s precisely these kind of working conditions that caused the formation of workers’ unions in the first place.
And then the unions go overboard like those in the U.K., and we all hates on them unions… with good reason.
Here’s my solution to the Amazon situation. I have no problem with Bezos offering rapid delivery; but such deliveries should incur something like a 25% surcharge — with said surcharge amount being added in toto to the paycheck of the worker who actually filled the order (and yes: Amazon can tell which worker filled which order).
That has as much likelihood of happening as Biden’s socialists lowering income taxes, of course, because someone has to pay for Jeff’s toys.
Do not take this for an uncharacteristic (for me) shot at wealthy people: I have no problem with people building wealth and spending money.
But I do object to the ill-treatment of workers at the bottom of the pyramid, all in the name of “customer satisfaction”.
