My father’s day went well. I cleaned the pool. We went to one of those escape room places and stole Willy Wonka’s secret fudge recipe (its crap).
Did the whole barbecue thing too. Although I did have to skip the gym, and I don’t like missing deadlift day. I rather like feeling like this to start my week.

Wokeism teetering on the edge.
Harris Teeter and Kroger are all over social media for the wrong reasons after deciding to remove pro-American products following leftists complaining about them in the wake of mass shootings.
One person tweeted on Monday, whining about Harris Teeter selling patriotic items that read “Give me liberty or give me death” and “America, love it or leave it,” according to Fox Business. They carped that the messages were insensitive following mass shootings that have taken place across the nation.
Jingoism aside, what do overt displays of patriotism have to do with mass shootings?
In reality, nothing. In a leftist’s head, everything.
I thought it was about the guns not the patriotic phrasing, the pictures I saw had scary rifles and ammo and stuff. Hoplophobia more than anti-Murica.
Yeah, it’s a little hard to tell because, you know, Twitter, but it does seem that at least one tweet focuses on images.

The door was never locked at Uvalde.
Next revelation is first set of cops that went in shot kids and that is why they backed off for an hour
I don’t think the kids would’ve kept calling 911.
I don’t know–in that situation the kids might not have even been able to identify them as cops–just more bad guys. They wouldn’t be thinking particularly clearly, being under that kind of stress–and being, well, kids after all.
Hell, adults wouldn’t be thinking straight.
I think it was kids in adjacent rooms calling 911.
No one in the room with the shooter is making any phone calls.
I had the impression that there were kids inside that room did survive.
By playing dead.
I was wondering about that. You’d think someone would have discovered the answer.
I think I read that somewhere too, that one kid hid under the bodies of others. The only two rooms they’ve said that the killer entered were 111 and 112.
Then yesterday we hear that one of the hallway cops had a wife inside telling him she was bleeding to death (she did not survive).
I believe he’s the LEO that was “escorted out” of the school by two others. So he clearly wanted in but was forcibly prevented from rescuing.
I want to see every bit of that hallway fisheye camera footage. They are desperately trying to suppress it.
This is beyond incompetence
Yeah, it really stretches credibility that a cop whose kid was being murdered on the other side of the wall would have so much restraint as to sit there listening to his kid and her classmates get massacred and then back out of the school because boss said so.

Brooke considered all that she’d lost: long nights at the skate park, trips to the mall, dropping $30 on a crab dinner just because she felt like it.
Personally, I think it’s perfectly normal to kill people who make it a burden to eat a crab dinner and take trips to the mall.
Life is all about getting drunk at a skate park, getting food poisoning from a cheap seafood dinner, and buying junk from the mall.
Don’t forget – getting banged by random guys without birth control.

But they need that for when you get uppity about your taxes.
As the Biden administration demands tougher gun control in the wake of multiple mass shootings recently, U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz on Saturday noted something curious about its firearms policy.
One department seems to be hoarding ammunition, and not who you might think. It’s the IRS.
Gaetz discussed the issue with Breitbart Radio on Saturday. He pointed out in just one three-month span – March 1 to June 1 – federal tax authorities bought $700,000 worth of ammunition.
“The IRS should be people in cubicles with green [eye] shades and calculators,” the Fort Walton Beach Republican said. “They shouldn’t be people with guns and ammo.”
“$700,000 worth of ammunition”
So a few dozen cartridges?
I’d like to see him be a little clearer than “federal tax authorities.” Is that the IRS? Or the Department of Revenue, which includes the Secret Service, who are armed law enforcement?
Poor choice of words.
Probably why the words were chosen anyway
The ATF technically enforces tax code.

Thanks. Halfway through it. Mearsheimer is, as usual, very convincing and uses actual references to published documents instead of relying on argument by assertion, as is the norm for just about everyone else.
I’m hoping Germany and France fall out with the US and end it before it gets completely out of control.

It’s just a transition…to a recession.
The White House indicated Tuesday they are preparing for an economic recession, despite President Joe Biden’s assertion that it is “not inevitable.”
The Tolly-bahn takeover wasn’t either.
When asked about a possible recession in the United States economy, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre praised the president for his economic agenda.
“We see that our economic strength that we have seen from this past year from the action that the president has taken with the American Rescue Plan with what we have seen with the historic gains, that is going to help us deal with the recession,” she said before correcting herself during the daily press briefing on Tuesday.
“Right now, we don’t see a recession right now,” Jean-Pierre added. “We are not in a recession right now. Right now, we are in a transition.”
We are all transitioning to being poor.
*cough* Bullshit *cough*
“White House: Joe Biden Has Prepared Americans to ‘Deal with a Recession’”
They’re right. He’s conditioned us to not believe him, and to expect his policies to produce the worse possible outcome.
Recession isn’t inevitable. Crash and burn all the way to a depression is quite likely.
A difference in degree of interpretation. If we’re already in an R just a little tiny slip and we hit the D. Fortunately we’ve had experience with that, FDR showed us the way out. A few 3 letter agencies and we’re on our way, unless, unless, that Trump SC sticks it to us.
WW2…
History doesn’t always repeat, but it often rhymes.
Except Biden et al. seem to be getting us into a world war before we even get to the depression part.

From the deadthread, on Sean’s link about changing a bill imposing an age minimum for “assault-style” rifles into a constitutional amendment on constitutional carry.
I posted this over on Glibs discord. I’ll just cut and paste, typos and all:
——–
This trend in PA of turning everything into a constitutional amendment to get around the governor doesn’t bode well.
I get why it started – the legislature wrote a stupid emergency powers law that had as a check on the governor that the legislature can terminate a state of emergency at any time with a concurrent resolution. The problem is the state constitution requires the governor’s signature on any concurrent resolution, except a concurrent resolution to adjourn the legislature, or else the concurrent resolution has no effect. One of the two constitutional amendments was to change that provision of the state constitution so that concurrent resoltuions to end a state of emergency don’t need the governor’s signature to take effect. The other was to enshrine the governor’s emergency powers in the constitution, but in a form much, much more limited than what was in legislation. People were pissed about what Wolf had been doing, but Wolf wasn’t going to back down. With two more years in his term and not enough votes to overturn a veto or impeach, the legislature got creative. OK, the first amendment I mentioned is OK, but the second was kinda… out there.
In addition to constitutional carry, there are proposed amendments on voter ID and privatizing the state stores. What else is PA going to get stuck in its already kinda overweight and bulky constitution?
—–
For db said about PA being gun friendly: Sorry, I disagree when it comes to gun laws. This is one area where NH shines.
Constitutional carry, and even before Constitutional carry we had shall-issue for concealed carry permits and open carry legal without a permit without the “Cities of the First Class” shenanigans.
No age minimums in state law that I’m aware of. In fact, back before Constitutional Carry there was a case in Milford, NH where the police chief wanted to deny a permit for a 16 year old. The town attorney told him to issue the permit because there is no age minimum in NH state law. The police chief lobbied to have the state legislature change the law, and the legislature ignored him. PA has age minimums in state law.
Private sales legal. PA prohibits private sales of handguns.
The only place NH state law prohibits carrying firearms is in courthouses and buildings housing courts. The latter is because in some parts of the state, instead of building a dedicated courthouse, the State government will rent office space to use as a courtroom. I recall PA has a pretty big list of places where carry is forbidden by law.
No registry. Compare with PA’s registry that totally isn’t a registry because the courts and the PA state police say so, so therefore it is totally not a registry.
NH still has state level background checks for handgun purchases, like PA. There has been a push to get rid of them in NH.
Now, as for gun culture, I think PA beats NH.
Gun culture is really the important thing, though. PA has an inspiring number of local ranges and gun clubs.
Lehigh Defense is in town and so is Lancer.
Buy more Lancer mags, people!
DEG,
It’s fine to disagree, but what I wrote was
I didn’t say it was the best, just one of the best, and PA has had better laws than many states for a very long time. Yes, private handgun sales are not permitted without a background check (Federal and State for handguns)–same as New Hampshire. Yes, permits are required for concealed carry. Yes, the State Police operate an illegal handgun registry based on their in-house “Instant Check” system.
BUT:
PA has basically zero requirement to get a concealed carry permit. I applied for mine on my 21st birthday, got it a month later (in Centre County they actually checked references), and never had to take a training course or any kind of test. Virtually every other state in the country has more onerous conditions for getting a concealed carry permit, which is why PA’s permits weren’t accepted by many states for such a long time. PA has basically none. It’s a shall-issue state, so unless you’re a felon or answer the weed-out questions wrong, or one of your references hates you, you will get the permit.
There is virtually no place, other than government buildings and schools, in which carry is prohibited in PA. In other states, there are often prohibitions against carrying in establishments that serve alcohol. PA has no such restrictions. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh at one time attempted to restrict carry further, but they got their hands slapped by the Legislature.
As EvilSheldon says and you acknowledge, we have a very strong gun culture and places to shoot.
PA was well ahead of other states in acknowledging the use of silencers in hunting, and doesn’t restrict any NFA firearms as long as the owner complies with Federal law. It has taken a long time for other states to catch up to PA’s level of goodness. While some have surpassed PA in recent years, we have, I think, one of the longest histories of permissive rules regarding firearms in the country.
I don’t know NH hunting laws as I don’t hunt.
NH has never to my knowledge regulated NFA items. Federal regulation only.
PA has basically zero requirement to get a concealed carry permit. I applied for mine on my 21st birthday, got it a month later (in Centre County they actually checked references), and never had to take a training course or any kind of test. Virtually every other state in the country has more onerous conditions for getting a concealed carry permit, which is why PA’s permits weren’t accepted by many states for such a long time. PA has basically none. It’s a shall-issue state, so unless you’re a felon or answer the weed-out questions wrong, or one of your references hates you, you will get the permit.
One of us goofed – NH allows private sales of handguns.
PA went shall-issue when I still lived in the state. I know how that worked, and what went down around then.
I had a permit issued by the Centre County sheriff. They must have a new sheriff because the sheriff at the time (Denny Nau) didn’t check references. As far as I know, my references for my NH permit were never checked.
I have friends in Montgomery County which were fingerprinted when they got their carry permit. Poking around on the web, I see some folks saying the Uniform Firearms Act of 1995 prohibited that practice. I do not recall that being part of the law, I also recall a) my friends getting fingerprinted after 1995, and b) a bunch of discussion on the PA-RKBA mailing list about sheriffs doing extra checks.
I was mistaken about carry being prohibited in places serving alcohol. I always thought that was banned in PA, but looking around I see it is not. Mea Culpa. On the other hand, in NH, unless it is a courthouse or a building with a court, I can legally carry in any government building. And NH law is silent on firearms in schools, meaning NH does not prohibit it.
in places serving alcohol
TN has this useless (in other words ambiguous and dangerously susceptible to being abused by cops and DA) language about how you can’t carry under the influence, but no BA level is specified.
When I was walking around Rapid City during FreedomFest last year, I noticed some bars had signs up saying firearms were prohibited in the bar.
It turns out, South Dakota has a law prohibiting carry of firearms in bars if the bar’s revenue is more than 50% from alcohol sales.
TX 51 requirement is similar
I don’t recall ever being fingerprinted in either Bucks or Montco. Montco used to have some extra form for your local police, but I think that was dropped.
When did you get your permit in MontCo?
There was talk on the PA-RKBA list of a lawsuit against the sheriff of Bucks County over “extras” right around ’95. The sheriff backed down and asked the courts to dismiss the case, which they did.
Early 00s.
Bingo. Found it.
Here’s a news article about the lawsuit. And, dropped in ’96.
The sheriff mentioned retired in ’02. If you’re really early 00s, he would have been sheriff. Otherwise, someone else.
Denny Nau issued my first permit in ’94. I know he contacted at least one of the references.
Interesting.
He never talked to mine.
I thought it was funny that he issued one at all because I listed my address as a dormitory on campus, which was true at the time. Firearms were not exactly permitted on campus then. Didn’t stop Crazy Jill, a couple of years later…
I remember Crazy Jill.
At the risk of doxxing myself, a friend’s roommate was in the same National Guard unit as her. The friend’s roommate also dated Crazy Jill for a while.
That was a rough day–I lived in Atherton Hall, on the side facing College Avenue. I was getting dressed and heard the shots. Looked out the window and there were people still walking up the hill toward the HUB lawn, completely oblivious. I thought I was hearing a handgun being fired near the bottom of the lawn. My roommate and I kept some guns in the room, and had it been facing uphill, I like to think I would have tried to engage her.
Had I done so, I’d probably have been expelled if not charged. As it was, I couldn’t see what was going on. Later that day, my roommate and I scrambled to get all the guns, ammo and reloading equipment (yep) out of our room and to a friend’s house.
One of the guys from our dormitory was the guy who engaged her while she was reloading. She had a big knife and he had to disarm her. Evidently she tried to open up her femoral artery but he stopped her.
Had I done so, I’d probably have been expelled if not charged.
Definitely.
I heard about it when I was walking to class. My usual route took me across the HUB lawn. It was closed off. I heard from one of the cops/student auxiliary (can’t remember which) that was there.
The guy was an Aerospace Engineering major. One of my roommates knew him.
Yeah, well…I picked up a rifle and a pistol on the way home from work.

We need more fed funding for the homeless bees. Have you seen some of their primitive living spaces?
Trees, sharing bedrooms with humans, all kinds of places where more people wouldn’t think of living if they have a choice.
I heard some are even in Omaha, crowded 6 K to a single room, only one opening. What would happen in someone showed up with a fully automatic bee shooter? Vacuum cleaners suck, man.
Your daily dose of Sanford & son:

Have you noticed how car commercials are now saying “Reserve your new ___ today!”
No, because I fast-forward through commercials.
Yes. I had a friend who reserved a Chevy SUV. And actually waited a month for it to show up, sans some equipment because chips were not available. Totally bizarre to me. I just drove a little to the country and bought a car. Cars on the lot which fit my need, I even got $3,000 off. It must be a coty thing.
Yes. “With new inventory arriving daily.”
No experience with cars, but we’ve been waiting three months for a new Polaris ATV, which is supposedly “in transit” right now.
Granted you expect things to take longer here, but still.
If your car comes in a manual, you can get one waaaaay faster.
Hmmmm…
My son got his Tacoma in less than a month.
Yeah. My GF just reserved a new Toyota Sienna last month. Maybe she’ll get it in August.
I just bought a used Tacoma via Carvana. They’re taking my old Tacoma in trade for almost exactly what I paid for it several years ago.
The new-to-me Tacoma is selling for $3k more than its original sticker price 2 years ago with 28k miles on it.
Nutty world.
My company makes attachments for a skid steer company you’ve all heard of. We are months behind on some customer orders and a year or more behind on some stock orders. Main culprits are things like hydraulic cylinders, control valves, electric and hydraulic motors…it’s better now but even certain thicknesses of sheet steel and certain sizes of tubing have been thrown in the mix. We couldn’t get simple wire harnesses for a long time because deliveries of the epoxy used in the connections was months behind.
So this…

Notice the change from Gun Control to Gun Violence? Bend over everyone….gonna get it good and hard
No one will be any safer.
Are they finally going to ban criminals? It’s about time.
Local governments, bolstered by Reasons love affair of taxes for the roads get to blame their inability to use those taxes to maintain roads on….checks notes….heat.

No “heat dome” here, thank the gods.
Did Colorado just pass some sort of gun laws/magazine restrictions?
I haven’t seen anything, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
Sorta related, sorta not, at the meeting they mentioned a Q&A session regarding the new NY laws, but I forgot which day that was supposed to be. Can’t find it on the calendar. Would you know?
tomorrow at 6:30 I believe
Nope, a week from tomorrow 6/29
Thank you.
I ask because the USPSA 4-Division Nationals just got moved from CO to Talladega “based on current information with regards the new requirements that competitors would have ot adhere to.”
Instead of taking a week to work the match, it now takes 12 days. I guess I could shoot it twice, using my production gun in L10. Both of my speedy guns are prod.
Hmmm, and since the L10 match happens before the Production one, it’d basically be like getting a practice round in before my real one. I’m liking this idea.
If you work the Nationals, do you actually get to shoot for score? I didn’t know that. When I went, I had to ask our section coordinator for a slot.
Yup. At least you do since I got RO certified.
There’s no exemption in Colorado law for out-of-state competitors. Never has been.
Everyone was going to ignore the mag law like they were doing already, but some fuckhead state senator got wind of it and kicked up a bitchfest.
2019 if I remember correctly for magazine restrictions.
There have been attempts to fight it in the courts and with legislation. I think all attempts have failed.
Speaking of ruthless price gouging and profiteering, are these incomprehensibly excessive oil company profits I keep hearing about based on calculated profit as a percentage of total revenue, or the inflated nominal line item?
We went to one of those escape room places and stole Willy Wonka’s secret fudge recipe (its crap).
interesting euphemism.
I am working. Why am I not at the water park? Because I am working. Why am I working? To go to the water park, which I can’t go to because I am working. *yawn*
I do coke so I can work longer so I can earn more so I can do more coke.
I didn’t know you were into water sports.
Give me that clean, cool lazy river, man. Not some lame shower of warm golden liquid.
