World Leader’s Approval Rating Hits Level So Horrific It Almost Seems Fake
That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
“She is the first woman to hold the office and was elected vice president as a member of Peru’s Marxist party, Free Peru, though she has since distanced herself from their platform, according to the New York Times.”
Well, she doesn’t seem very good at it.
Not sure I put much stock in the opinions of Peruvians, as they seem to elect some pretty reprehensible people on a routine basis.
1.3% approval rating
You can’t please all the people.
Still seems more popular than Ceaușescu.
Why are commies always obsessed with “first whatever” when what they should focus on is “can this idiot do the job with the minimal amount of criminality”?
It isn’t criminality – it is revolution, comrade! We are going to make the glorious new free human, in the image we have in our warped heads!
So that close to 150 million body count from phase one & two of that revolution will be tripled or quadrupled before we finally say it didn’t work – again – for a half century or so?
IT WOULD WORK IF IT WASN’T FOR THE KULAKS AND WRECKERS!!!!
OK, that made me laugh…
Her party’s propaganda arm must be terrible at their jobs.
Our leftist crooks are doing badly at the moment but usually get pretty high support for some strange reason.
Media sycophants help hide their evil and give them a veneer of legitimacy and goodness that is nonexistent.
“It’s beginning to look like the Obama administration was all-in on the Russia collusion hoax long before Trump won the 2016 election.”
I already knew that.
“The question is, will anyone in the Trump administration do anything about it?”
That I don’t know.
What exactly does anyone think can be done? Other than put the truth out there.
Haven’t you heard? Obama has immunity for official acts or something.
DiplomaticQualifiedSovereign Immunity!–“What exactly does anyone think can be done? Other than put the truth out there.”–
Exactly this. There will be no prosecution for most people involved. The only hope I have is that ALL of the material will be released, and Americans can make their own judgement. Release it ALL.
juris imprudent:
On Planet Earth, Obama Can’t Be Indicted. But We Live on Planet Trump.
The attempted persecution of a former president is both a dangerous line to cross and an expression of this failed administration.
(TW: TNR)
Neph: Trump could do what we tried to do to him! NOT FAIR!!!!
The only hope I have is that ALL of the material will be released, and Americans can make their own judgement. Release it ALL.
It will change no opinions. Republican supporters already believe Obama and the Democrats tried to run a coup against a duly elected president, and Democrat supporters will continue to believe that Obama and the Democrats did nothing wrong because the Russians really wanted Trump to win.
There will be no prosecution for most people involved.
I’d be perfectly fine with that, as long as they were also shunned from all respectable institutions, even those not-so-respectable, like the media.
But half of our country is retarded idiots that won’t give up on this shit. So reconcile yourselves to that.
Which BTW is why I’m not so amazed at the approval rating of the Peruvian president. The masses are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals.
On Planet Earth, Obama Can’t Be Indicted. But We Live on Planet Trump.
The attempted persecution of a former president is both a dangerous line to cross and an expression of this failed administration.
They apparently have no memory of the lawfare waged against Trump for the previous 4 years.
–“It will change no opinions.”–
You are probably right, but maybe a few will be convinced. At the least, people won’t be able to say “I didn’t know.” Of course, all of the Biden staff idiots say that they didn’t know anything either, but I think at least some people were surprised at the outright lying.
Maybe we’ll get lucky ( /s ).
Obama obviously won’t face any punishment but what is stopping any of the other major players from seeing jail time?
I’m wondering who would have played the boogeyman if the west hadn’t been so determined to destroy Russia over the past few decades.
China? But no, we’ve been playing footsie with them the whole time.
The real panic here for the people that did the dirty work of making it look like this made up Russia story and kept it in the news, is that this will be the first string pulled in unravelling the entire made up legacy of Obama. We will find that it was all smoke, mirrors, and criminality, and the scandal free claim was made up bullshit. If black Jesus magic goes away, the commies have no here but the old ones with body count records.
You live in a fantasy world. If you could wave a magic wand and erase Obama and all his works it wouldn’t get rid of 10% of the leftist corruption of our society. Obama was a result of that corruption, not the author. And as others have said above, nothing being released will move the needle. The left half of the country won’t believe anything that is released, and will double down on their TDS because he is daring to attack Saint Barak. The right half already knew all of this 8 years ago.
Scandal free was bullshit long before these revelations.
Scandal free and “from Chicago” are a mutual impossibility.
“You live in a fantasy world. If you could wave a magic wand and erase Obama and all his works it wouldn’t get rid of 10% of the leftist corruption of our society. ”
OK, I think you misunderstand what I am saying Jarlflax. I am not saying the proggies will quit being evil when the Obama fable gets crushed. All I am saying is tat they will lose the 24/7 rant about how much superior they are because of black Jesus, and that will remove legitimacy or good intentions to hide behind. In fact, I suspect that they will just accept that everyone knows that they are criminals and double down on the crime, when the lie they hid behind evaporates.
Alex, you obviously dont live in a blue city in a blue state. Any actual indictment of a revered official is brushed aside as a one-off or as a means to survival because of evil conservatives. The only sin for a commie is a “come to Jesus” moment.
“Alex, you obviously dont live in a blue city in a blue state.”
Yes, invisible finger, you are correct. I live in a very rural area of a blue state, and I see the exact issue you mention even there. That is why I am looking at packing up and leaving as soon as it becomes viable.
Proggies are a cult. And it is obvious now that it is an evil one. And fixing them might not be possible.

“The DOJ stated that Boasberg’s actions warranted a formal investigation, saying they violated the judicial code of conduct and eroded public confidence in judicial neutrality.”

Proggie judges exist to legislate from the bench. The right tries it too, but they suck at it compared to the left.
Assuming downstate is going to stay corrupt and stupid, and mass assassination is off the table – what options are there to get rid of this crap?
Voting with your feet, that’s all you can do.
The goal is to save the state, otherwise there will eventually be nowhere to run to.
As Ron White said “you can’t fix stupid”, and too many voters (not just in NY) are exactly that.
Anytime you have a concentration of people who decide they’re entitled to rule other people because they’re in the same nominal polity, those outside the concentration are screwed.
As long as NYC can vote laws on upstate, upstate is screwed.
I am gonna agree with JI here. NYC, and therefore NY state, are over the cliff heading towards a long fall into solid ground. And sadly it has to get brutally ugly and deadly before there will be enough momentum for change away from this stupidity. The fuckers that outnumber the sane people will make it so.
Alex, it’s never going to change no matter how bad it gets, because the people in NYC who vote for this crap are incapable of drawing the connection between the policies they vote for and the results of those policies.
WTF, I used to believe so until NYC got so bad in the 80s that they voted for Giuliani. I am hoping it can happen again. Cause if it can’t and you are right, America will have to burn these cities down with the fucking stupid progressives in them so they don’t infect the rest of the country.
Alex, not only are they not going to vote for someone like Giuliani, they are going to put a full-blown communist into the mayor’s office. Things have changed sine the 90s.
So carpet bombing is the only option?
“Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
Yup. This shit is coming for you no matter where you live. It’s just taking longer in some localities than others.
I love how they think it will “cut emissions”. No, dumbass, it just moves the emissions to a power plant. Which is part of a grid unequipped to handle the additional load.
Reminds me of the substation by my house that caught fire last year.
You’d think commies would want to spread the pollution equally but no.
The people who enact this shit don’t believe any of it. It’s a grift, pure and simple. They convince the stupid sheep that it’s “green” when of course it is nothing of the sort and they know that.
That is completely insane and unworkable. Let me guess – big juicy fines if you can’t do it. It’s another money grab.
^^ yep

Highly enriched uranium is used in US and UK navy nuclear reactors, not just for weapons.
It is also used in some civilian ones. Iran could be telling the truth when they say their enrichment program is for peaceful uses.
S9G reactor – Wikipedia
Rolls-Royce PWR – Wikipedia
***
The reactor fuel was highly enriched uranium (HEU) enriched to between 93% and 97%. Each nuclear core had a life of about 10 years, so had to be refueled about twice during the lifetime of a submarine.
***
Weapons-grade nuclear material – Wikipedia
***
Highly enriched uranium is considered weapons-grade when it has been enriched to about 90% U-235.
***
Sure. Iran COULD be telling the truth.
Riiiggghhhhtttt….
I would have more trust in a crackhead saying they quit crack and now just suck dick for money to afford rent.
I trust the Iranian govt about as much as I trust our own.
This. And slightly more than the Israeli government.
Iran could be telling the truth when they say their enrichment program is for peaceful uses.
I suppose they theoretically could be, but it’s not likely.
Information about Iraq* is completely unreliable. Until he got busted for kiddie porn, Scott Horton was all-in on WMDs, even being one of the people claiming that Saddam would hold inspectors while moving them out the back.
*and also pretty much everything else.
Scott Horton got busted for kiddie porn?
D’oh!
Scott Ritter
“Iran could be telling the truth”
No.
My point is enriching uranium is not ironclad proof of nefarious intent.
Iran’s nuclear program began under the shah. It’s always been a bargaining chip to get attention (for making allies and deals) and sanctions relief.
The thing is that military vessel nuclear tech is real freaking difficult. There are like 7 world navies – of which 5 have had the tech for a long while – that have nuclear powered subs and only one (until the CCP gets their newest carrier done) with nuclear powered carriers. The only nation with other nuclear powered platforms is Russia which has one remaining Kirov class battlecruiser in operation (in the pacific) and has built a couple of nuclear powered ice breakers.
This tech is super costly and difficult. To believe Iran had plans to make nuclear powered vessels, is dumb. That leaves nuclear power plants, and I question that. In the age of gen 4 and 5 reactors that use fuel other than uranium and are super safe and effective, believing Iran wants a gen 1 or 2 reactor just doesn’t compute.
The French would like to know where you get De Gaulle to forget them, Alex. 😀
That French carrier is just an easy target.
other uses of 90% HEU
***
Deep-Space Exploration: NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy have explored nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) systems for interplanetary missions, requiring compact, high-output reactors for which 90% HEU is considered optimal.
Advanced Neutron Research Reactors: HEU is used in advanced neutron research reactors for various scientific and medical purposes, including the production of medical isotopes.
***
Iran makes polonium which is used in manufacturing to eliminate static. Yes, I also know Russia has poisoned people with it.
Be that as it may, when other countries decide your bargaining chip is a causus belli, saying “it’s just a bargaining chip!” doesn’t mean much.
It’s always important to consider the long-term and general effects of any action. It doesn’t do any good to bomb Iran for enriching uranium if it causes a bunch of other countries to start building nuclear weapons.
It’s kind of like the way Russia ended up pushing Sweden and Finland into NATO in their war to prevent Ukraine from doing so.
My point is enriching uranium is not ironclad proof of nefarious intent.
True. However, enriching uranium while simultaneously inviting research and expertise on precise explosives timing in spherical ring structures might indicate a more than passing interest in engineering a nuclear weapon.
That said, can’t say I blame them given our history on treaties, agreements, and color revolutions. And I still can’t put my finger on the section of the Constitution that authorizes the US government to use violence to prevent a sovereign power from developing nuclear technology. Other than the FYTW clause, coupled with a healthy dose of “we know what’s right and whatcha gonna do bout it anyway?”
Shorter – you can oppose US meddling in Iran’s nuclear development (or not) without twisting yourself into knots to pretend things are not what they are so you can avoid the cognitive dissonance of defending ‘bad’ people in some given scenario.
So, if Iran was enriching all that uranium for peaceful purposes, how much of their electricity do they get from nukes? How many new nuclear power plants are they building?
***
Iran’s nuclear program comprises a number of nuclear facilities, including nuclear reactors and various nuclear fuel cycle facilities.
***
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_facilities_in_Iran
They get 1000 MW from here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushehr_Nuclear_Power_Plant
I don’t what percent of the total that is for them.
I’ve only heard of the one power plant, which dates way back, and not of any new ones under construction. Not sure what level of enrichment their one plant needs. Seems like an awful lot of nuclear activity to support one power plant, though.
***
The Bushehr plant will satisfy about 2% of Iran’s projected electricity consumption.[25]
***
2% of all their power from one plant? Yeah, I can see why they want to build more.
But are they building more? On a quick search, I don’t see any reference to it.
So what’s your theory about why Israel went to the trouble, risk, and expense of taking out the facilities, and persuading us to help? Just to burn a few million in munitions for Raytheon? Pure bloody mindedness? Meanwhile all those speeches about driving the Jews into the sea and rocks crying out are probably just the Ayatollahs using flowery language to express a mild, but certainly not genocidal, disapproval of Israeli policies.
Geo politics. Russia is weakened at the moment, so can’t support Iran. Weakening Iran when Hamas is weakened (which is the most direct threat).
North Korea withdrew from the Non-proliferation Treaty when they got serious about getting the bomb. Iran is still part of the NPT.
Israel does all kinds of stupid shit. Kind of like most other countries.
Israeli settlers burn West Bank’s last Christian town

The Israeli settlers crept up to the ancient church perched above the West Bank’s last Christian-majority town.
As they reached the outer walls, they crouched down to light a ring of fire. Then they revved the engines of their secret weapons brought to fan the flames: garden leaf blowers.
Residents watched in horror as the blaze spread closer to the Church of St George, which dates back to the fifth century.

“CNN anchor Erin Burnett is facing scrutiny after describing the gunman who killed four people in Midtown Manhattan overnight as ‘possibly white’ despite surveillance footage showing he was not.
Burnett angered some on social media on Monday night after describing gunman Shane Tamura, 27, from footage shared by authorities showing him holding an AR-15.
Tamura was seen walking into the 345 Park Avenue skyscraper with ‘sunglasses, mustache, male, possibly white’ Burnett and her co-anchor said.”

uncensored footage of recent mob beating in Cincinnati
https://www.cf.org/news/video-2-white-victims-beaten-by-mob-in-cincinnati/
Of course the news stories call it a “fight”, and make no mention of the races or numbers involved.
Meaning the mainstream media stories.
Anyone that sees this shit and still defends news on legacy media is an enemy of freedom.
One of these days….
Some years ago the Cincinnati Police got hit with a DOJ consent decree about racial policies. Since then, surprising no one who has the slightest degree of sense, the city has gone from being a relatively low crime purple city trending blue, to a full blue city and is now ranked 14th of the top hundred cities in crime rates, particularly murder.
Damn. Cleveland is just about to get out from a consent decree. The main downtown areas have gotten better, with the east bank of the Flats revitalizing (and starting another slow decline), with the Warehouse district becoming the new draw for the idiot class.
I still would not recommend going to East Cleveland, and if you see Kinsman road, you are in the wrong part of town.
Aside from overnighting in Streetsboro, the closest I get to Cleveland is meeting you.
Much as it pains me to admit it after a lifetime of smug superiority over the mistake on the lake, but we’ve more or less flipped positions from my childhood. Cleveland somehow managed to turn things around from being on the Detroit path and Cincinnati went from having one of the lowest crime rates, more 5 star restaurants than San Francisco, and the best economy in the State to a bizarre wannabee modern Chicago. We elected a sheriff whose entire qualification was being an angry lesbian, shortly after this stunning and brave decision we had multiple escapes from our county jail, including one where the deputies simply forgot to lock the door. I fully expect the Ohio to catch fire any day now.

Bengals and Browns are too close to hate the other, and both of us agree that the Ravens and Stillers suck. Reds being in the other league from the Indians means there wasn’t any real vitriol there, and it’s not like there was ever much of a chance of a Reds/Indians World Series.

“Two more men have come forward to accuse Christian rock superstar and Maga firebrand Michael Tait of drugging and sexually assaulting them – including Jason Jones, the founding manager of the American hard-rock band Evanescence.
Jones said he was fired from the band – which had ties to Tait – for speaking out about his alleged assault. Jones said the firing, which he claimed happened in 1999, cut him out of Evanescence’s massive success beginning in 2003.”
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/29/michael-tait-christian-rock-star-sexual-assault-allegations
1999? Enough with this horseshit.
““He didn’t frame it as ‘sexual assault,’” Moody said. “He described it as like frat-boy joking around while they were drunk, with [Tait] saying ‘what’s the big deal? A dick’s just a muscle.’ And Jason said ‘the next thing I know he’s sucking my dick.’”
Why are all these homosexuals sucking my dick?
Perhaps it’s the only way to get the aftertaste of Christian rock out of your mouth…
If done correctly, that dick miraculously becomes the Body of Christ. Likewise that cum is the Blood of Christ.

I immediately assume it is bullshit when someone comes out and tells us for the first time that more than a decade ago, and let alone more than 3 decades ago, they were abused. Yu do not hold onto that shit for that long in silence.

“One afternoon in mid-September, a group of middle school girls in rural East Tennessee decided to film a TikTok video while waiting to begin cheerleading practice.
In the 45-second video posted later that day, one girl enters the classroom holding a cellphone. “Put your hands up,” she says, while a classmate flickers the lights on and off. As the camera pans across the classroom, several girls dramatically fall back on a desk or the floor and lie motionless, pretending they were killed….
By the end of the day, the Greene County Sheriff’s Department charged her and 15 other middle school cheerleaders with disorderly conduct for making and posting the video. Standing outside the school’s brick facade, Lt. Teddy Lawing said in a press conference that the girls had to be “held accountable through the court system” to show that “this type of activity is not warranted.” The sheriff’s office did not respond to ProPublica’s questions about the incident.”

“Cincinnati police chief blames ‘social media’ and ‘journalism’ after brutal mob attack goes viral
During her comments at the press conference, she went on to become angry at social media users and journalists for posting the video that went viral. “Another topic I want to cover real quick, social media and journalism and the role it plays in this incident. And yes guys, that’s you. That is you. Social media, the post that we’ve seen does not depict the entire incident.”
“That is one version of what occurred. At times, social media and mainstream media and their commentaries are a misrepresentation of the circumstances surrounding any given event. What that does, that causes us some difficulties in thoroughly investigating the activity and enforcing the law. Because what happens, that social media post and your coverage of it distorts the content of what actually happened and it makes our job more difficult,” she added, but did not elaborate on what the other version of events was.”

“Chief, could you explain to us how publicizing video of a violent criminal attack is making your job more difficult?”

“King County Superior Court Judge Tanya L. Thorp has ruled in favor of the City of Seattle in a high-profile lawsuit brought by dozens of former city employees who were terminated after refusing to comply with the city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Thorp ruled that none of them had sincerely held religious beliefs when they objected to the vaccine mandate. She said their beliefs are “secular cloaked in religious vernacular,” and that prayer is not a reasonable manner for decision making.”

Why do objections have to be religious?
The (mistaken) idea that claiming religious beliefs might give them a better shot at success?
Not necessarily mistaken. Company I worked for in 2020 flat out told us that the only exemptions that would be granted were religious or medical. Strongly held beliefs need not apply.
That understanding was universally promoted as the only chance at telling the State to fuck off, so I can’t blame them.
Not necessarily, but it certainly was in this case.
Thorp doesn’t understand the law, which is intentionally written so it doesn’t protect only religious beliefs or only “valid” religious beliefs (which would be unconstitutional).
Because of the Amish and the power that Big Fireplace has in Congress.
If the law is interfering with the free exercise of religion, then you rub up against civil rights violations. While I agree in theory that religious exemption arguments shouldn’t carry more weight than others, we need to be thankful for the religious exemptions. It was literally the only doorstop keeping the door open a crack during the COVID tyranny and if you can open the door a crack, then maybe it allows others to open it wider or knock it down.
And a law with exemptions based on religion rubs up against the prohibition on establishment of religion (as currently applied, at least).
The problem is, as ever, the government sticking its snout into things where it has no business. The comprehensive micromanagement of everything by government makes this contradiction (either infringe on the free exercise of religion or establish religion) inevitable.
Five years on, and those who supported the covid tyranny *still* want to punish the heretics.
Shorter Tanya L. Thorp : “Fuck you. We own your body, you do not.”
So the state can mandate or prevent medical procedures on individuals as suits them. They are practicing medicine now.
“Defendants and critics of these types of lawsuits are hoping the courts will rule against the plaintiffs in these cases, which they argue are filled with meritless claims. But some are concerned that a project by the Environmental Law Institute is biasing some of the judges overseeing the cases against the defendants.
The Climate Judiciary Project claims to provide “judges with authoritative, objective, and trusted education on climate science, the impacts of climate change, and the ways climate science is arising in the law.” Critics say its curriculum focuses exclusively on the most alarmist positions in climate science and lacks any presentation of disagreements or uncertainties that exist within the research.”

99% of climate “science” is modeling, and thus unadulterated junk.
Another thing to worry about
https://www.msn.com/en-us/science/earth-science/earth-has-tilted-31-5-inches-that-shouldn-t-happen/ar-AA1Jl1ZJ
I made my living back when on creating complex computer models of aircraft engine exhaust. The complexity of that system, of which we understood all the laws of physics, still required 2 years of tweaking to get to 99.9% accuracy to within the expected threshold of the margins of error.
Whenever I hear people talking about climate models indicating anything, I laugh my ass off. First off, I am gonna ignore the fact all these models are incorrect as they are biased towards CO2 when water vapor IS the predominant and singular most important greenhouse gas. Garbage into garbage models, equals garbage out. And if you pay attention, we keep finding out, nearly every day, that the model they used to predict doom & gloom, has had another complex parts of it that they discover are totally wrong and had to be changed. But somehow, they claim the predictions remain the same even though you would expect the system to now produce different output unless it was designed to force the same output regardless of inputs.
But the dead giveaway is that the solutions are always marxist shit. Loss of freedoms, rights, and brutal punitive taxation & regulation. No matter what. Never engineering ones.
That climate change shit is the second biggest racket imposed on humanity, in order to help them force feed the panicked mob the biggest one: marxism.

Those are all variables, never the same at any time in history, today or tomorrow. They are all constantly changing. Their models are shit, their predictions 100% wrong and the whole thing is a giant scam…the biggest in history and yet it seems to be permeating every area of life.
This and almost everything everyone else says, no matter how you stir the plate of spaghetti logic around always arrives at the same conclusion: You must get on your knees and give me money.

“n explaining her ruling, Justice Carroccia pointed to irregularities in EM’s testimony, including about who had bought drinks that night, and said her statements reflected an “uncertain memory” that did not line up with evidence presented in the trial.
The judge added that there were differences in what the woman told police investigators and those for Hockey Canada, which settled a C$3.5m ($2.5m; £1.9m) lawsuit with her for an undisclosed sum in 2022.
Two videos from the incident were shared in the trial, where EM was recorded giving her consent to the activities. The first was taken without her knowledge.
While under Canadian law the videos did not establish consent, the judge said they did show EM “speaking normally, smiling”, and that she “did not appear to be in distress”. ”
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn0qlwnyy70o
Of course, we still don’t know the accuser’s name.
“The loud hotel party was powered by the naked woman who had, at some point, taken up residence on the floor, where a sheet had been placed (by E.M., according to the players; by the players, according to E.M.). There, the judge’s ruling recounts, she demanded sex and called the surrounding 19-or-so-year-olds “pussies” when they refused. At trial, she agreed with one player’s assessment that she took on the persona of a porn star.
Article content
“I accept the overwhelming evidence that E.M. was acting in a sexually forward manner when she was masturbating in this room full of men and asking them to have sex with her,” assessed Carroccia. “This evidence alone does not establish her consent to engage in oral sex … but it does establish that she communicated her willingness to engage in sexual activity.””
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jamie-sarkonak-hockey-canada-judge-believed-in-truth-not-believe-all-women
“asking them to have sex with her” and “This evidence alone does not establish her consent to engage in oral sex” taken as a pair make me glad I am not a celebrity and give solace to my celibacy.
You would think in Canada they wouldn’t worry about chilling the litigation climate.
“The party wound down after 4 a.m., and E.M. had sex with McLeod one last time in the shower — an act, she told the court, she felt was necessary to get him to allow her to leave. He recorded one more video. “It was all consensual,” she said, multiple times, smiling. “Would you … You are so paranoid, holy. I enjoyed it. It was fine…. I am so sober that’s why I can’t do this right now.” Together, these rendered E.M.’s evidence “vague and inconsistent.””
Pucks get passed around…
“While under Canadian law the videos did not establish consent”
Then what kind of evidence is sufficient to establish consent in Canada?
Nothing.

After talking with my friendly FFL about shipping ammo to Nats in October, his suggestion was “just buy it when you get there.”
Anyone have a recommendation about where to buy ~600 rounds in Vegas or points between there and Hurricane UT?
Flying or driving? Driving you’ve got a lot of states to buy a handful of boxes in each… but I don’t think you’re driving for some reason.
I’m flying. Whatever the drive time was, was too much and would require stops. Anything that impairs my mental focus before a match (like bad sleep from shitty hotel rooms) is something I avoid whenever possible. If I were driving I’d just buy it online and haul it with me.
I would suggest paying one of your free-state buddies to buy some ammo and have it shipped to Nats in your name.
Otherwise, Modern Warrior in St. George has a pretty good rep, and there’s a Sportsman’s Whorehouse in St. Geoprge as well.

Harsh Reality of US Trade Deal Stirs EU Soul-Searching Over Lost Clout
Too bad, so sad. Maybe if they hadn’t destroyed their economies trying to outfox the climate bogeyman.

It’s in the bag
It reportedly contained a joking reference that “enigmas never age” and ended with the words, “A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
Trump denied writing the note after the article was published, posting, “These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don’t draw pictures.”
The birthday note, if authentic, hints at Trump’s contemporaneous awareness of Epstein’s criminal behavior — as might Trump’s comment to a reporter less than a year earlier that Epstein “likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
a) What man writes something like that to another man?
b) “Likes them on the younger side”? Conclusive proof!
“I’d rather have two twenty year olds than one forty year old.”
The way Trump handled this handed his enemies a metaphorical weapon. You can’t blame them for using it. He couldn’t have chosen a more boneheaded tack.
The Trumpian bluster is, as always, grating to my ear, but I’m curious how else he could have handled it? Honestly, what he said was exactly what I thought after hearing about it (although he didn’t mention the weirdness of typing out this allegedly personal note).
Still any picture of it?
I wonder what the odds makers consider the odds to be that Trump did, in fact, author that note?

Trump will have a steep uphill climb to make out his complaint against Murdoch. The venerable New York Times v. Sullivan (1964) is still good law, despite Justice Clarence Thomas’s stated desire to overrule it. A public official suing for libel must prove by clear and convincing evidence that the defamatory statements were published with actual knowledge of their falsity or a reckless disregard for the truth.
In this case, we are talking about the Wall Street Journal, not the National Enquirer. It is very unlikely that the Journal knew the birthday card was a fabrication or that they proceeded recklessly, knowing that the source of the document was unreliable. More likely than not, the document came from the files of the Justice Department.
The Wall Street Journal. Responsible mainstream journalisming at its finest.
Here’s an idea- let’s just declare war on Russia!
Trump should play the card he used successfully with Iran and not let the clock run out before acting against Putin and his malign allies who are supporting his aggression and war crimes —that is, China, Iran and North Korea.
After getting Putin’s attention with that preemptive move, Trump can declare that the U.S. and its allies will cooperate to provide Ukraine with all the weapons, intelligence and other support it needs, not only to resist Russia’s continuing invasion of its country, but to eject it from the parts of Ukraine it already illegally occupies. To help pay for that ongoing aid and Ukraine’s postwar reconstruction, America and Europe should utilize all the Russian funds seized and held since the invasion began in 2014. The cost of Putin’s aggression is not limited to the horrific destruction of ancient cities and 400,000 Ukrainian casualties, but also the massive expenditures on European economies having to build or buy arms to defend against the Putin scourge.
