And the other shooter was a pretty good shot as well.

The Canadian government didn’t seize bank accounts: it temporarily froze them (seizing, in this context, would mean that the government or government agencies took possession of the funds). This is after streets in front of Parliament had been blockaded for a full month. Money was being promised to the protestors so they could remain indefinitely.…[Read more]

I have an acquaintance, an ex-Navy SEAL, who collects guns. I gather that quite a few of them are sniper rifles and that he has no problem hitting a target accurately, under the right circumstances, from a half mile away. He is avidly against “gun grabbers” on the left.

As kids we were taught how to handle guns and shoot accurately. From pel…[Read more]

The diversions begin. Now, it’s some unidentified pro-Ukraine group that destroyed the pipelines. Which, if true, was kinda dumb. By throwing Germany into a needless economic crisis, it hurts Germany’s ability to support the Ukraine war effort.

SPOILER ALERT: It’s gun licensing. It’s imperfect but it’s been shown to at least reduce gun deaths. The problem: I’m not sure how licensing will fare if it ends up in the Supreme Court.

You’d think that perhaps the recent The Tranny Got Her Gun incident in Nashville might spark the right wing to do something, though it might just be legislation to effectively exclude LGBTQ+’s from gun ownership based on their “mental defect.”

Strangely, counterintuitively, gun ownership has gone down from half of American households having a gun…[Read more]

Odd thing is that most Americans are in favor of tighter regulations. I am not sure how much good that’ll do really.

Here is the problem incarnate.

Yes it is too late. America has more guns than books. Almost certainly not true but what has truth got to do with anything?

I’ve been a little disappointed with the sire, Gun Runner. Perhaps i jumped the gun. Then again first saturday in May should see a few Gun Runners run for the roses.

I was considering opening an overseas wagering account and they take bitcoin and give incentives to bitcoin payments.

“I’d like that gallon of milk. Do you have change for this gold ingot?” More seriously, if things get really bad gold will become worthless. Having an AK-47 would be more useful.

As far as the American economy and the dollar, many feel it’s clear we’ve already gone past the economic event horizon. We got there by overspending on the…[Read more]

How many bitcoins does a gallon of milk cost? You don’t know. And I don’t want your bitcoin if I’m selling a grilled cheese. It’s been decades and it’s still just a dream. I certainly trust the US government will pay its debts to me over some blockchain ledger that can get hacked or made to be illegal like China did. Like all this decentralization…[Read more]

Your argument—and Buffet’s—that Bitcoin prod9uces nothing could be applied to any of many sorts of nonfungible assets, could it not? A Rembrandt sketch, a Babe Ruth home run ball, diamonds, gold, etc.

People want to get away from fiat currencies, currencies published by governments. So far—except for the ones functioning now and produ…[Read more]

John Meersheimer is the guy that once said Putin is too smart to attack Ukraine. Opps. That didn’t age well. He blames the West for the war. I have to agree in a way because Russia is that inconsequential. Maybe Putin got played into this suicide mission, but I don’t think it was intentional. It was just the way it went down because Trump made his…[Read more]

China has a long way to go before becoming the world’s reserve bank. They hang huge decisions on the head of their dear god-like leader of that surveillance state and frankly it’s not a good system. Can’t trust their data either. They have been “a-suckin” on cheap capital from the West, selling cheap goods and providing cheap labor for pennies on…[Read more]

Unseen,

We could always call the physically and mentally infirm by one word: “Healed.”

But, of course, that would take work to proclaim with truth.

Unseen,

Putin’s Russia, Red China, Saudi Arabia, and Iran are already together, regardless of anything we’ve done. Tyrants of a feather flock together.
