And here we go…

On the weekend, major holiday (so to speak), massive weather situation, and the Daytona 500. So they do this…

“This Administration will not wait for the next mass shooting to heed that call. We will take action to end our epidemic of gun violence and make our schools and communities safer,” the president said in a statement. “Today, I am calling on Congress to enact common sense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets. We owe it to all those we’ve lost and to all those left behind to grieve to make a change. The time to act is now.”

Full article, HERE.  Apparently they are confident enough to jump up and down on the third rail of politics and thinking they will get away with it…

Something tells me it’s not going to work out like they think… EO or not… Compliance, to use that term loosely, it CT and NY is under 5%, if I remember correctly.

 

 

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

I hope your day is a special one with the ones you love.

Sigh…

Truth right here…

Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

And an interesting old video… cut to less than 2 minutes.

Makes one wonder…

Showdown on the River!!!

The first novel in my new series, Showdown on the River is live!

It’s an 1870s western, hoping a few folks will like it since I finished The Grey Man series.

And yes, I’m going to take some heat for the cover, but it is dead on for one of the major plot points in the book, so blame me, not my cover artist!!!

Click on the cover for the Amazon link, as always.

The blurb-

Rio Bell is leading a cattle drive up the Goodnight Loving Trail to Fort Laramie. It’s his first time as trail boss, but with trusted hands and hard work, he expects to be back in Texas by late September though fire, flood, or rustlers bar the way!

He didn’t count on a range war.

They didn’t account for the Rio Kid…

And he sure as hell didn’t count on the girl showing up!

Honest reviews appreciated, as always!!! I apologize for the delay in getting this one out. I’d hoped to have it out for Christmas, but I got steamrolled by real life. My bad…

TBT…

A long way from anywhere…

Turning final back in the day…

Many hours butt in these two seats…

And one of our old hangouts in Olongapo!

Hard to believe that was 45 years ago… sigh…

Prospective cover…

Tina is, as usual, doing an outstanding job of putting a cover together. This is one of the ideas for the western cover!

I like it!

Well…

That was a disappointing Stupor Bowl…

KC rolled over and died, there wasn’t a single good commercial (can we say WOKE!)

Although the Bud ad was decent…

And that halftime ‘performance’… Really? Bunch of guys with jock straps on their heads?

The only thing positive was the good company and the food!!!

It was a team effort, folks brought lots of stuff and most of it got eaten! AND they helped clean up too!!!

I really don’t know…

WHAT to make of this… Bragging? Explaining?  I have no idea…

The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election

A weird thing happened right after the Nov. 3 election: nothing.

The nation was braced for chaos. Liberal groups had vowed to take to the streets, planning hundreds of protests across the country. Right-wing militias were girding for battle. In a poll before Election Day, 75% of Americans voiced concern about violence.

<snip>

This is the inside story of the conspiracy to save the 2020 election, based on access to the group’s inner workings, never-before-seen documents and interviews with dozens of those involved from across the political spectrum. 

Full article, HERE.

There are some ‘interesting’ admissions in this. I just wonder how long it will stay up!

Your thoughts?

The memes keep rolling along…

And apparently you WILL draw a ban on FB for even mentioning Ocasio-Smollett…

And the Intarwebz is forever… As are the comments people make, sometimes in jest, sometimes not. Some of us just didn’t realize how true they were…

Death knell???

Interesting article from Forbes on Portland, OR…

BLUF- Can one die from shooting oneself in the foot? Yes, if the wound goes untreated. Portland has shot itself in the foot. Most likely, the people of the city will come around and seek treatment. But if they don’t, the wound will prove fatal.

Full article, HERE.

And this one is kinda odd, all things considered, since the rioting is continuing…

Housing prices continue to go up and fewer homes on the market? Odd…

Full article, HERE.
Oregon is getting as schizophrenic as California between the riots, departures of companies, and people that can leaving in droves. I have NO idea where this is going to end.

A dead city or an insular Dem enclave/utopia? You tell me…
