About time!!!

Looks like the ‘chickens’ are finally coming home to roost for some of those protesters!

Good news, everyone: Justice is back on the menu in the USA! 

Yet another of the countless dividends of Making America Great Again is the potential restoration of faith in the justice system. This can only be possible when bad guys go to jail. And while absolute monsters are turned back out on the street in blue states until they finally commit a heinous enough murder to make national news, this is no longer happening on the federal level.

In real life, it turns out that you can’t stalk officials, dox their innocent families, or try to run them over with your car without getting into hot water.

The sad part is the price the families pay for their husband/wife’s jobs. It’s bad enough when the agent’s life is put in danger daily, but when the kids are impacted, or the family has to move for their safety, that is, to me, well beyond acceptable.

Yet if those same doxxers get doxed? Oh the screams about invasion of privacy, yada, yada…

Tough. FAFO is a real thing in the reality ‘we’ live in, not the utopia the left thinks they live in.

And common sense is also coming back, along with justice. Now we just need that to propagate to Chiraq, NYC, Boston, and most of Virginia…

The young lady, Sheridan Gorman was murdered in Chicago by a illegal immigrant, NOT as the Chiraq alderwoman said that she ‘scared’ him into an ‘accidental’ shooting… Gah… HERE

And Pritzker and Johnson can’t even say they’re sorry, because they don’t care. Funny how the ‘problems’ with ICE only appear in blue states and primarily blue cities.

Interestingly, the whole ICE thing in Minnesota has completely knocked the Somali fraud out of the news cycle, surprising no one on the right… sigh

Yes, the dems managed to get rid of Noem as DHS, but now they’ve got Mullin, who is going to be even less of a pushover, and will not put up with any lip from the left, as we’ve already seen.

I think things are going to get ‘interesting’ in the next few months, as our focus shifts back to the USA and off the Iran mess… Other than rechecking a LOT of so called asylum applications from the Middle East.

This one…

Has been ‘interesting’, to put it mildly…

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is investigating whether two development companies behind a master-planned North Texas community formerly known as East Plano Islamic Center City discriminated against people’s religion or national origin.

The investigation comes after several state officials accused entities behind the development that marketed to Muslims and is now called The Meadow of religious discrimination. It also comes after the U.S. Justice Department quietly closed its own probe into the housing project, saying the developers agreed to follow federal fair housing laws.

Full article, HERE from the Texas Tribune and HERE from the Daily Caller.

It appears there is a ‘lot’ more to this than is covered in the news. It appears a company out of the Middle East was actually the true backer, and there were a number of stories told to the Collins County leadership in ‘private’ meetings that were…shall we say, less than truthful.

It also appears there was a two tier ‘system’ of buying in, with preferences given to muslims and apparently ‘members’ of the East Plano Islamic Center.

This mess is what led to Gov. Abbott signing a law in Texas that Sharia compounds and  laws is not allowed in Texas, HERE. Of course ‘that’ has upset the LWL and usual suspects…

I ‘think’ this was one more attempt to ‘get the nose under the tent’, so to speak. I, for one, am glad to see it fail. Assimilation is supposed to be the goal when people come here…

Supposedly…

A little humor…

To start your week…

Psychiatrist vs. Bartender

Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had a fear of someone under my bed at night. So, I went to a shrink and told him: “I’ve got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there’s somebody under it. I’m scared. I think I’m going crazy.”;

“Just put yourself in my hands for one year, said the shrink. Come talk to me three times a week, and we should be able to get rid of those fears.”;

“How much do you charge?”;

“Eighty dollars per visit,” replied the doctor.

“I’ll sleep on it,” I said.

Six months later the doctor met me on the street. “Why didn’t you come to see me about those fears you were having?” He asked.

“Well, Eighty bucks a visit, three times a week for a year, is $12,480.00. A bartender cured me for $10.00. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup truck.”;

“Is that so?” With a bit of an attitude he said, “and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?”;

“He told me to cut the legs off the bed. Ain’t nobody under there now.”;

It’s always better to get a second opinion.

Goes for doctors too…just sayin…

They just won’t go away…

Warthogs are back in action!!!

Three months after Congress put the brakes on Air Force plans to retire its fleet of 162 A-10s this year, the versatile Warthog is back in the fight, this time in a maritime mission chasing Iranian naval vessels.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff briefly mentioned the A-10C Thunderbolt II at a Pentagon briefing Thursday about the nearly three-week-old war in Iran, calling the attack aircraft by its familiar nickname. “The A-10 Warthog is now in the fight across the southern flank and is hunting and killing fast attack watercraft in the Strait of Hormuz,” Air Force Gen. Dan Caine said.

Full article, HERE from Stars and Stripes.

‘Officially’ introduced in 1977 as a replacement for the AD-1 Spad, they’ve been around for 49 years, performing multiple missions across just about every theater in the world…

Originally designed as a tank killer, and hated by the Air Force, who had tried to ‘kill’ them for the last 20 years, because they are subsonic, ugly, and ground support aircraft, they are loved by the Army and Marines who’ve been bailed out by them time after time.

Then Captain Paul Johnson had ‘one’ of those days, recounted HERE as a Warthog pilot… And Major Kim Campbell, HERE had ‘one’ of those days…

The titanium tub saved more than one pilot, and the A-10 developed a reputation for bring their pilots home most of the time (I think six have actually been lost in combat). And the GAU-8A 30mm cannon the airplane is built around is accurate enough to place 80 percent of its shots within a 40-foot diameter circle from 4,000 feet while in flight. It is optimized for a slant range of 4,000 feet with the A-10 in a 30-degree dive.

That they are being used to take out the fast mover boats and drones is also a tribute to the pilots and their adaptability to new missions. And frankly, they are probably the ‘best’ asset to be doing this mission…

Say a prayer for all those in harm’s way and be glad the Warthogs are still in the fight!!!

 

Good people…

ARE out there!

The news can be awfully heavy these days. I know I like to take breaks, and I assume you do, too. If you don’t, I highly encourage it (after you’ve read PJ Media, of course). With that in mind, I’ve decided to try something a little new. On Fridays, I’m going to share with you a “feel-good” story from the week that touched my heart and helped me remember that there are still good people out there in the world, and I hope you enjoy these stories, too. 

If you’ve ever ordered food or grocery delivery from a company like DoorDash, you understand that you never know who will deliver your stuff. It could be a young college student trying to make some extra cash, a single mom who needed something to do that would allow her to bring her baby along, or just someone who enjoys the hustle of making his own hours and sort of being his own boss. To be honest, though, I think most of us rarely know who exactly is dropping our food off because we opt to have them leave it at the door. I know I do.  

Brittany Smith of Tennessee used DoorDash last week to place an order from Starbucks. From her Ring doorbell camera, she saw that her delivery driver was an elderly man. He moved slowly and struggled a bit on the stairs to get up to her porch. That left her wondering why a man his age was out delivering food when he should be enjoying retirement. She wanted to leave him a bigger tip than she had, but the DoorDash app wouldn’t allow her to do so, so she took to social media. 

Full article, HERE from PJ Media.

I’m thankful there are folks out there like Mrs. Smith who are willing to actually DO something!

There are good folks out there, we just usually do not hear about them. As a friend (television director) said many years ago, “Give me blood and guts or a sob story, and I’ll get you 15 minutes nationally for a couple of days. Give me a feel good, and I ‘might’ get 15 seconds once.”

All you have to do is look at any news broadcast and you’ll see the truth of that. Dammit…

And we DO need good people to help our friends out. Kat (Ainsworth) Stevens has been diagnosed with breast cancer and is facing a double mastectomy. The problem is she is a gun writer and freelancer so no insurance. If you’ve read any gun mags in the last few years, you’ve probably read her stuff, yes, she IS that good!

She is also a hunter/firearms tester and has been featured in a number of articles and advertisements, but now all that is off the table.

Rachel Fry has put together a Give Send Go for Kat, and that is here- https://www.givesendgo.com/Katsrackdefensefund

Anything helps, as she is looking at considerable expenses! Thank you in advance…

You just want ‘comfort’ food…

Just a burger and fries, home made, nothing fancy… Comfort…

Everybody has different ideas of what is ‘comfort’ food for themselves, and that is fine as we all grew up in different places eating different things.

But I do find there are only ‘certain’ places I will spend the $$ to get a burger and fries, and those are usually the greasy spoons. Why, you ask?

Because they remind me of the places I grew up where we didn’t have McDonalds, or the other fast food places. A&W was about it, back when they were a drive in, and Dairy Queen (where you ONLY got the ice cream). Otherwise, it was a mom and pop restaurant, or a greasy spoon… Yes, we were cheep! Hell, we didn’t have much money as kids, or even in the early years in the Navy.

I can afford better today, even the occasional steak dinner, but I still like and default to a plain old burger and fries…

What was/is your favorite comfort food? Mexican, Italian, British, Fish/shrimp???

 

Why???

I really don’t understand this one at all…

A federal judge has ordered federal immigration authorities to release an illegal immigrant gang member with multiple unlawful entries into the United States and whose criminal history includes rape and robbery, Fox News Digital has learned. 

Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson, an Obama appointee, ordered the release of Carlos Antonio Flores-Miguel, an MS-13 gang member from El Salvador, from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said. 

“This activist, Obama-appointed judge RELEASED Carlos Antonio Flores-Miguel, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador and MS-13 gang member, from ICE Custody,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “Releasing violent criminals is inexcusably reckless and now this criminal will be able to perpetrate more crimes against innocent Americans.”

Full article, HERE from Fox News.

Why would any actual judge release somebody like this into the general public? Or is this a purely political move on her part to ‘punish’ ICE and the administration?

Also, who died and made her the Queen of America???

I’m at the point that I’d be in favor of penalties for ANY judge/DA/chief/sheriff that releases somebody like this and they reoffend. As far as I’m concerned, they should suffer the same penalties the offender gets! Same prison, one cell over would be fine with me…

Grrr…

 

Another one…

Moved to Texas and just announced it…

Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick says he’s the latest billionaire to join the exodus out of California as the “billionaire tax” initiative gathers signatures for the November ballot. “On December 18, I moved to Texas,” he told TPBN hosts John Coogan and Jordi Hays. “I don’t know what’s so specific about December 18, but let’s just say it’s prior to January.”

If the initiative passes, it would levy a one-time 5% tax on the entire net worth of the state’s billionaires, backdated to Jan. 1, 2026. That much you probably already knew.

What you might not know about the so-called Billionaire’s Tax Act is who is pushing for it and why — or how much it’s already cost the state.

The initiative’s primary sponsor is SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU-UHW), which hopes to literally cash in on the tech sector’s riches.

Full article, HERE from PJ Media.

Millionaires and billionaires don’t get to that point by being stupid. They know how to read the ‘handwriting on the wall’. And California has shot itself in both feet with the ‘Billionaire’s Tax Act’.

Estimates are that as of 1 January, $1 trillion of the $2 trillion held by billionaires in Californa had already left for Texas and Florida, among other places.

Not only are the folks leaving, they are taking their companies with them, along with the oil companies closing refineries so they are also losing all of that tax money from businesses, employees, and all the ancillary organizations.

I’ve heard rumors there is also a ‘proposal’ to tax all savings accounts in California with a one time 5% tax… yeah, right… ‘one’ time. Every year about April 15th???

If that becomes a reality, EVERY person will take the hit, regardless of their income level. And even with that, it will not come close to making up for the losses they are experiencing.

Even worse, I don’t think anyone knows for sure exactly how much in the hole California is, much less how bad off their pension plans are considering how much they have to pay pensioners every month!

If you’re getting ready to leave, do us a favor, LEAVE the California mentality there and don’t bring it with you. Trust us, we don’t want your attitudes or politics in our states. We’ve already lost Austin the left coast liberals! They tried to outlaw BBQ in Austin!!!

Needless to say, that didn’t pass…

A little humor…

To start the week…

ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659 —

A lady, about 8 months pregnant, got on a bus and sat down. She then noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. The man seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, She complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.

The case came up in court.

The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) What he had to say for himself.

The man replied, ‘Well your Honour, it was like this: When the lady got on the bus, I couldn’t help but notice her condition. She sat down under a sign that said, ‘The Double Mint Twins are coming’ and I grinned. Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, ‘Logan’s Liniment will reduce the swelling,’ and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, ‘William’s Big Stick Did the Trick,’ and I could hardly contain myself. But, Your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said,
‘Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident!’ … I just lost it.’

‘CASE DISMISSED!!’
