Interesting, But Irrelevant

Gummint, Legal Stuff, Rights

Before you read what I say next, you first need to read this article:

The Department of Justice has officially walked away from its appeal in one of the most important Second Amendment cases involving ordinary federal property. That’s a major win, but gun owners should understand the ruling before changing how they carry.

On July 23, 2026, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit dismissed the government’s appeal in Firearms Policy Coalition v. Blanche at the government’s request. Chief Judge Reed O’Connor’s permanent injunction therefore remains in place.

The federal government may not enforce the challenged post office firearm restrictions against the individual plaintiffs or any present or future member of the Firearms Policy Coalition, or the Second Amendment Foundation, when they possess or carry firearms in an “ordinary” United States Post Office or on surrounding postal property covered by the order.

The federal ban hasn’t disappeared for everyone. Every post office isn’t covered, and other laws still matter.

Etc., etc.

Fine, all good stuff, but…I haven’t set foot inside a Post Office building for about five years, so it’s irrelevant to me.

Good News

Well, well, well…

“But but but what about TOLERANNNNCE, Kim?”

Yeah… what about it?

Given that Islam is the most intolerant socio-political institution ever inflicted on mankind, it’s about time we had a little turnaround, methinks.  And if the famously-tolerant Porros are doing this, then ya gotta know things are getting bad.

Getting It Right

Good Stuff, Immigration, Muzzies

Still more to learn from the Danes:

Denmark will ban burkas in schools and universities as part of a plan to tackle what it calls ‘parallel societies’.

The garment worn by some Muslim women is already banned in public places in the Scandinavian country, but the move would now expand the order into classrooms across Denmark. 

In Denmark, the term ‘parallel societies’ refers to residential areas where more than half of inhabitants are from an immigrant background. 

The ban on full-face coverings was introduced in Denmark in 2018, with those found to break the rule forced to pay a £1,300 fine. 

And the best part:

Denmark has some of the toughest migration laws in Europe, which were introduced after its Left-leaning government, which came into power in 2019, promised to curb migration to ‘protect Danishness’.

The underlying sentiment:  fit in or fuck off — or to be more precise, fit in or we’ll make you fuck off.

Gotta say, I’m not disagreeing with the Danes here.

I know, I know:  we wouldn’t do this to Orthodox Jews or the Amish, who create their own “parallel societies”.

The difference is that, unlike the Muslims, neither the Orthos or the Amish are interested in eventually forcing the rest of their host country to become like them.

Worthwhile Largesse

Good News, Subsidies

When I think of how much of our taxpayer money has been frittered away on useless crap like eco-lunacy, supporting Commie insurrections and delivering government benefits to illegal immigrants [156 more examples omitted for reasons of space], here at least is one I can get behind (via Reader John C., thankee):

The Department of War has given $10 million to TV host Mike Rowe’s Foundation that encourages Americans to enter the skilled trade industry.
The former “Dirty Jobs” star started the program that aims to offer Americans careers in the skilled trades like plumbing, electrical, and other hands-on work that won’t be made obsolete by artificial intelligence.

Wow… government money being spent on a civilian program that actually helps citizens and provides strategic benefit to the nation.

Here’s the enormity of the thing:

The foundation has helped over 2,600 people so far train as welders, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and diesel mechanics who command a six-figure salary without requiring a four-year degree and massive amounts of student loan debt.

However:

The foundation says that America will need 320,000 welders, 250,000 shipbuilders, and 81,000 electricians over the next decade.

I bet the Lefties are totally pissed off about this — ironic, really, considering that they’ve always proclaimed themselves as the “Workers’ Party”, but really aren’t.  Then again, they are the “Party Of Lies”, and always have been.

Congrats to the Pentagon, and of course likewise to Mike Rowe (a true patriot if ever there was one).  If I have a single quibble, it’s that they should have given more than ten million dollars to this most worthy cause.

Finally, Part 2

Eco-Crap, Good News

I said this a couple weeks ago:

Start your engines, rev them loudly and turn your A/C down to 65, because the foolishness is ending:

The reelection of President Donald Trump came with an overall shift in the political landscape regarding climate and energy issues. Since then, major media outlets shut down their climate desks, corporations are easing back on emission-reduction targets, and polls consistently show the public rates climate change low on their list of priorities.

Can we also repeal all those stupid CAFE standards and regulations on auto companies and the cars they sell?

And now this is coming down the turnpike:

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright today announced the Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to permanently end home appliance and equipment mandates that raise costs and disrupt consumer choice.  The proposal will update the Department’s Process Rule used to establish energy conservation standards for household appliances and equipment, including air conditioning units, gas stoves, washing and drying machines, water heaters, refrigerators, and other products Americans rely on every day.  In America, you should be able to choose a dryer that dries clothes on the first try rather than one that takes multiple cycles — unfortunately, past administrations thought otherwise,” Secretary Wright said. “For too long, the American people paid the price for mandates that restricted consumer choice and drove up costs.  President Trump promised to end this nonsense and that is exactly what we are doing.”
