Transplant

I see that billionaire asshole Mark Zuckerberg is looking at property in Florida:

Mark Zuckerberg may soon be adding Miami to his ever-growing list of luxury addresses. According to people familiar with his plans, the Meta founder and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are exploring a home on Indian Creek Island—an ultra-exclusive, heavily guarded neighborhood often called “Billionaire Bunker”.

On the bright side, he’s not looking at Texas;  he might have fit in quite well in Austin, although he might not be liberal enough for those assholes.

Chalk up one more score to the other liberal assholes in California, who are looking to tax billionaires into the poorhouse or something #WhoCares.  According to the above article:

Chamath Palihapitiya [who he?] wrote on X: “With Zuck’s move to Florida, California’s total taxable wealth from billionaires has plummeted to well under $1T from over $2T just a few weeks ago.”

Yeah, it’s all fun and games to spout Commie propaganda and fund Commie organizations who in turn fund Commie activists in Minneapolis — until they turn on you… right, Zuck?

A pox on all their houses, including the ones in Florida.

Incitement

Well now, isn’t that special?

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) went on a tirade, during which he appeared to say that citizens would be justified in shooting ICE agents.

“But what is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets, the attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums,” Nadler began. “If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped. You’d be justified in shooting the person to protect yourself.”

It has long been established that ICE agents wear masks because they are under threat of the radical left identifying and doxxing them. On top of that, even masked ICE agents are clearly identifiable as federal agents every single time. There is no need to suggest that it would be justified to shoot ICE agents.

“But we see people being shot, for what? For driving a car?” Nadler added.

Here we go.  Throw in a few blatant untruths or careful elisions — that would be “attacked by a masked person [wearing a clearly-identifiable law enforcement uniform]” and “being shot for driving a car [at people wearing clearly-identifiable law enforcement uniforms]” — and guess what?  According to this Nadler asshole, “You’d be justified at shooting the person to protect yourself.”

Yes.  Let’s see how that plays out in a courtroom, shall we?

But what the hell, if that fat fuck Nadler can say what he said, then I’ll say this:

I hope that in these specious cases of self-defense, the perpetrators never make it as far as the courtroom, but end up lying in a pool of their own blood right there in the streets, shot dead by law enforcement.

Enough, as they say, is enough.  The Left seems eager for a crowd of martyrs to further their little anti-ICE / anti-Trump PR campaign;  maybe it’s time we gave them what they want, in spades.

Why Only Now?

The headline refers to this action by DJT:

President Donald Trump will launch a strategic critical minerals stockpile with $12 billion in funding as part of an effort to protect American manufacturers from supply shocks as the Trump administration seeks to cut reliance on Chinese rare earths.

Formally known as Project Vault, the project would take $1.67 billion in private capital and $10 billion as part of a loan from the Export-Import Bank to obtain and store minerals for automakers, tech firms, and other companies that need access to rare earths.

Reports have compared the idea to the country’s emergency oil stockpile. Project Vault would obtain rare earth elements such as gallium and cobalt, which is used in iPhones, batteries, and jet engines.

So… anyone have any ideas why this hasn’t existed since, say, the appearance of the PC and digital phones in the market?

Given that our defense systems — aircraft to tanks to ships — have relied on computer chips since, oh, the 1980s, it astonishes me that no Administration since the 1980s had established this already.  Then again:  Clinton, Obama, Biden — that’s  seventeen  twenty years of Presidency that essentially hated the whole concept of a Defense Department because they’re all either overt or quasi-Marxists.

Explicable, but still inexcusable.

Guns Into Clubs

…or trying to do that, anyway:

Reps. Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) announced Friday their re-introduction of legislation to limit the online sale of ammunition.

A press release from Mfume’s office indicates the bill, called the Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act, “would require federally licensed ammunition dealers to confirm the identity of individuals who arrange to purchase ammunition over the internet by verifying a photo I.D. in person.”

The legislation would “also require ammunition vendors to report any sales of more than 1,000 rounds within five consecutive days to the U.S. Attorney General, if the person purchasing ammunition is not a licensed dealer.”

At least they’re being honest, for once, about their goal:  “Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act” and not some “Protect Citizens From Violence” and such twaddle.

And they trot out the tired old arguments about “mass shootings” and all the other bogeymen, not one of which have stopped, or would / could stop any such Bad Things from happening in the future.

Which of course just makes me want to post a few links:

Ammo.com, Ammunition Depot, Bulk Ammo, Lucky Gunner, etc… you have your own favorites, no doubt.
