Whiny little Commie bitch TV interviewer: “So just bottom line, Mr. Secretary, do you acknowledge that these tariffs are a tax on American consumers?”
SecTreas Scott Bessent: “No, I don’t. You’re quoting Goldman Sachs… I made a good career of trading against Goldman Sachs.”
So apparently there’s a Good Guy With A Gun involved in the taking down of our loony stabber in Traverse City MI — not that you’d ever read or hear about it in the Messed-Up Media, of course.
Here’s Our Hero, and that’s the situation he found himself in.
Now good for him, in that he restrained himself from ventilating the nutcase. (I’m not quite sure what’s going on with that hold on the gun, mind you, but whatever.)
Apparently, he told the loony to drop the knife “several times” before the asshole saw the light of reason and dropped the knife
I have to say that if I were in his situation, standing what looks like three or four feet away from the nutcase, I’m not sure that I would have acted the same.
He’s standing very much in range of a stabbing lunge, and as we all know, that’s way too close for comfort.
I may or may not have issued a “Drop the fucking knife!” order, but I sure as hell would have popped three into his chest after the first refusal to do so. Standing close to a nutcase holding a bloodstained knife, with the screams of his victims echoing all over the place…
Like I said, the man showed admirable restraint. Others might not have.
Oh, and semper fi, Marine.
There are several good reasons to like the Finns — they’re private people, keep themselves to themselves, and they like to kick Russian ass. To name but some.
Here’s a good reason to like one of their F1 drivers:
Valtteri Bottas has opened up about his time as a sniper in the Finnish army. The 10-time Grand Prix winner was forced to complete his nation’s mandatory military service between 2008 and 2009 as he was climbing the ladder to F1.
Sadly (I suspect) he didn’t get to shoot any Russians, but hey, that’s just the luck of the draw. In any event, he’s a fine driver, but just happens to have drawn the short straw most recently, careerwise. Let’s hope he gets to drive with a team in 2026.
…and no, this isn’t some fevered fantasy involving Salma Hayek in a silk nightie. (sorry)
But it is the best thing I’ve read in a long time. Read it all, but here’s just a taste:
Fulcher helped redirect nearly $50 billion from bureaucratic bloat into actual defense readiness. He streamlined software procurement timelines from years to months, modernizing critical IT systems across the department. He contributed to acquisition program reviews focused on strengthening military lethality and America’s defense industrial base.
In six months.
One from King County WA (Seattle area!) and another in Phoenix AZ:
An alleged intruder in King County, Washington, died after a woman opened fire on around 2 a.m. Monday morning. The woman called the King County Sheriff’s Office and told them she shot a man was allegedly trying to enter her home.
Deputies arrived to find an unconscious man lying in the driveway. The wounded suspect died later in a hospital.
Then:
A Phoenix, Arizona, homeowner shot and killed an alleged burglar Sunday morning shortly before 8 a.m. The homeowner shot the alleged burglar while on a 911 call with police.
I love the smell of dead goblin in the morning. It smells like… justice.
If you’re anything like me, you’ll be wanting a cigarette after reading this lovely little story — even if like me you don’t smoke.
An intruder who used brass knuckles to beat against a front door and break a window just before midnight Friday in Missouri was shot multiple times by the homeowner and killed.
KFVS 12 reported that the homeowner, Austin Glastetter, was in the house with his wife at the time of the incident.
Glastetter told the suspect, 31-year-old John Fisher, that he was armed, but Fisher allegedly responded by saying, “You’ll have to kill me.”
Wait, wait, hold it in for just a minute…
Glastetter then shot Fisher multiple times.
And:
The Scott County Sheriff’s Office issued a release noting that deputies arrived on the scene to find Fisher deceased.
Smoke ’em if you got ’em…
